GRAND JURY MAY
PROBE FOOD COST
Chief Justice Will Recall In
quest if There Is Unfair
Rise in Prices.

Assistant Prosecutor Andrew Van
Blarcom. who is in charge of the Of
fice during the vacation of Prosecutor
Frederick F. Guild, said today that
he had not as yet received any com
munication from Governor Fielder n
relation to proceedings under the
"Seven Sisters Acts in an effort TO
determine who is responsible for the
sudden rise in food prices.
"I have not studied closely the laws
referred to by Governor Fielder :
said Mr. Van Blarcom, but believe
they would be applicable to the pres
ent situation. If they are not we are
handicapped, for the State has no
other law that can be applied in a
manner that will get results.
I'm New York State they have a
John Doe law, IN which a blanket
complaint can be made, and any per
son brought before the court and his
possible connection with misdc-
n1eanor charged. After this has been
done specific complaints can be made
against individuals who have been
caught in the John Doe dragnet and
action taken against them. In New
Jersey we have no John Doe pro-
ceedings. and under our law a spe-
cific complaint must be made in each
instance. This renders it almost i'm
possible to get evidence under our
law, and such action that may DC
taken under the Seven Sisters Acts
seems to be the only remedy avail
able"
Chief Justice William S. Gummere,
at the court house today, would not
discuss the situation, saying that It
had not been brought to his attention
in an ofFicial I9anner.

PAVING IS VETOED
Say HaussIing Turned Down
Board of Works Resolution
After Hearing.

1t is learned on good authority that
Mayor Jacob Haussling today sent
the resolution to pave South Broad
street back to the Board of Works
with his Veto This action follows
the hearing given the residents of
South Broad street last week. when
there was question raised as 10 the
number of persons who had signed
the petition.
The Board of Works several weeks
ago passed a resolution to pave South
Broad street with asphalt block
Several property. owners protested
against the paving of the thorough
fare at this time. City Counsel
James r. Nugent informed the board
that sufficient signers had been se-
cured. The delegations protested, as
serting property owners in favor of
postponing the laying of the pave
ment represented eighteen feet more
of the street frontage than those in
favor of it.
II is said that on these grounds
Mayor Haussling refused to affix his
signature to the resolution.

THE HAGUE. Holland, Aug. H.
Cut off entirely from communication
with the world, Germany Is meeting
the problems of the war quietly and
with determination. Because of the
occupation of telegraphie and cable
service, the lines having been cut
by the enemy, many utterly false re-
ports have been circulated.
AS an evidence of how complete is
the isolation, the death of Mrs. Wood
row Wilson was not known at the
German capital when I left there
Thursday night. And many of the
stories set in circulation broadcast re-
garding happenings within Germany
are absolutely false.
One of the most cruel is that the
Socialistic delegation in the Reichstag
has been executed-f00 of them-by
the order of the kaiser, because they
participated in anti-war demonstra-
tions. This story also said that Dep
uty Liebknecht, leader of the Social
lists. was summarily shot by firing

his regiment, and that Rosa Luxem-
bourg, whose stories of alleged cruel
ties to the German common soldier by
his superior officers resulted in her
arrest some months ago, had also
been shot after a court-martial.
The stories are absolute lies. Not a
single Socialist has been shot. Not
one has been arrested. Liebkneeht is
fighting for the fatherland, as are
hundreds of thousands of other So
cialists Eleven of the Socialist men,
bers of the Reichstag are at the front.
The attitude of the party in the
present crisis is best shown by the ae-
tion of one of their most famous lead
ers. who was released after serving a
sentence of one year for making an
anti-militarist speech. He has issued
an appeal to all members of the party
to rush to the colors and to aid in saw
ing the fatberland.
There has not been an anti-war
Socialist demonstration in any part

WINNFMU((AN SECURES
OPTION ON tLK0 SOAP MINE

In recent issue the Elko Inde-
pendent states that r. C. Bellinger
has given an option on his twelve
claims of soap deposit to j. w. Me
Daniel of Reno, representing George
WingfieId.
This is an error, as the option was
secured by A. j. Mcdaniel, the we'll
known Winnemucca caterer, who is
making arrangements to resume oper-
ations at the mine, after a shutdown
of 80 years.
In 1884 a company erected mill
at Elko and began to place the pro-
duet on the market. To induce the
Pullman company to use the soap, a
ton was donated, and after this had
been used up a contract was made for
the soap for one year, and it was
used on all the company sleeping
ears, proving highly satisfactory.
But as soon as it was known that the
soap came from a mine, ii was taken
by travellers as souvenirs, and in case
tourists were not cognizant of the
fact they were quickly told of it by
the porters, who did a thriving busi-
ness selling it for 30 cents a cake.
At the end of the year the Pullman
company found that the soap had
proven so expensive that declined to
renew the contract. The plant was
then shut down, having remained idle
since.

BUCkSK|N MARY
LEASE FINANCED

Buckskin mountain, of all Nevada
camps, is at present in the limelight
of the mining world. There is a good
inquiry for stocks in the several com
panies that have been organized,
which are selling at several times as
much as is usually commanded by
new corporations for their shares.
1t is probable that every foot of
the Buckskin Mary, National Buck
skin and the Buckskin National could
be leased in one day, but as leasers
will be unable to start operations
much before the first of May, the
companies are taking their time in
awarding leases, it being their inten-
tion to do business only with respon-
sible parties, men who have sufficient
capital in sight to thoroughly develop
their leaseholds.
The first lease on the Buckskin
Mary was given to d. r. Dwyer, the
wellknown mining man, about
month ago, and he left shortly af
forwards for Los Angeles. In a let
ter received by the Silver State this
morning Mr. Dwyer states that he has
financed the proposition and will put
a force of men to work as soon as the
weather will permit.

INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
DOES NOT APPLY TO COUNTY

Attorney General George G. Thatcher,
acting as attorney for the Nevada In
dustrial commission, has commenced
suit in the District Court in Reno
against Washoe county for the col
lection of $3l3.05 Gained to be due
the State Industrial commission as in
surance premium under the new
state insurance law.
Under the new law the county is
named as an employer and is sup
posed to pay premium for insurance
of all county officers elected and re
ceiving salary. The contention is
that the county has refused to pay the
premium. The law makes it manda-
tory that all counties and municipali-
ties pay the premium. The corpora
tions and individual employers may
elect whether to take advantage of
the insurance law or not.

vices were held in st. Mary's church

stated, however, that the appointment
will be made at the session of the
House of Bishops, which will be held
at st. Louis, Missouri, during the fall,
and which will be presided over by
Bishop Tuttle, of that city.
"It has always been the custom of
the House of Bishops said Bishop
Spalding, "to appoint Western men

rest assured that the best and most
available man will be selected to fill

STRIKE HIGHLY MINERAL
lied ORE ON BU(KSKIN

Superintendent Jim Martin, of the
National Buckskin Mines company,
telephoned from National today that
there was a marked improvement in
tunnel work of the Flynn Welshons
property. He states that unexpected
ly thev have run into a large body of
mineralized altered solicited rock car
rying values and that through it
there are fine streaks of quartz carry
ing the yellow metal.
This is at a depth of about 325
feet He attaches much significance
to this for it is known that the ground
is traversed by the Bell vein system
or is part of that zone of mineraliza-
ton. The area also is effected by the
great fault action of the National
Buckskn section and which was the
great source of the breaking and fis-
surfing through which the mineralizing
liquids forced themselves and at Civ
en- points deposited great fortunes of
gold and silver.
This encountering of great change
also brings with it a large volume of
water This is doubly significant, for
il means an unexpected vein. The
conditions revealed are of such an in
citing influence and basis for a rich
mine that Manager Martin has arrang-
ed an increase in this working force in
order to speed the work, which he be
lieves will make another mine equal
ling the great bonanza proof of the
Stauffer property on the same
mineralized system.
Martin, while giving the informa-
ton, also stated that the Bell prop
erty in its persistent course of drift
ing on the vein south was blocking
ore which for quantity and richness
was beating the band.
