The Government is perplexed with its

more than 1000 horses, which the re-

Ke.o;oe The Money At Home

Ely Record: The Ford Motor Com
pany which recently doubled the
of all employees, has shown a
truly patriotic spirit by issuing an
edict that it will not employ foreign
ers who send the bulk of their av-
ings back to Europe or out OF the
United States. If other companies
would follow the example set by the
Ford company, good times would soon
return to the United States because a
great many millions are annually sent
out of this countryeveryyear by aliens
who come for the purpose of earning
good wages and sending the money
back home as soon as secured. If our
big companies would show a little
more patriotism it would go far to-
ward eliminating the public hostility
toward corporations.

MORE RICH ORE IS
STRUCK AT BULLION
But The Heavy Fall of Snow In That
Section Has Temporarily Stopped
Ore Shipments

Elko Free Press: Robt. A. Kline,
who has charge of the work on the
Sylvania group of claims at Bullion,
is in town this week. He says they
have opened up a big body of rich
ore in their incline shaft that carries
values of S35, consisting of lead, sill
yer and copper. The size of the ore
body cannot be determined. as the
strike was made on the top of the
deposit, and they have not had
time o--develop the find. Enough
work has been done, however, to
demonstrate the fact that the strike
is an important one and every indica-
ton POINTS to a big body of shipping
ore.
He saws that the work of taking
out ore on the Kerr & Peterson lease
has practically ceased owing to the
deep snow, making the work of get
ting the ore down the mountain side
expensive. The men are running a
cr~oss-cut from the Standing Elk No.
5 tunnel, to cut the ledge at a depth
of $50 feet, and they are now close
to the vein judging from the char
acter of the rock. He says that the
lease is looking as good now as at
any time and that the ore is holding
its own both in values and in guam
tity.
He says the snow is something
fierce up in the camp, there being
two feet at Bullion. four rect at
Bunkerhill, six to ten feet at High
land, and from Is to 20 feet deep at
the Kerr & Peterson lease. A snow
slide Monday morning neary buried
the cook house at the Bunkerhill
property, but aside from soaring the
cook no damage was done.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES

When the grand jury Monday
night, after consuming two night

trict court that it had no true bill
against H. J. McGhan, proprietor OF
the Fifth avenue drug store, accused
of practicing open and gross lewdness
upon an eight-year-old girl, a high
misdemeanor, Peter Clark asked to
be excused from further service as
a member of the inquisitorial body.
He stated that the jurors stood ii to
6 in favor of an indictment and
fayed the six men who opposed the
action.
In his statement to the court,
Clark averred that McGhan, during
his examination by the grand jury,
admitted under oath that he COM
mitted the offense charged, and that,
exclusive of his testimony, there was
abundant evidence of his guilt. Not
withstanding the confession of Nc
Chan, Clark declared, for certain
reasons" none of the six jurors OPP
posing Indictment would vote with
the seven favoring it. Clark intim-
ated his readiness to explain the
certain PERSONS" but Judge Somers
informed him thatit would be better
not to do so; therefore, the explana-
ton was not made. Tim Connolly,

the returning of a indictment,

Your True Worth

Look yourself over carefully. A
careful invoice will likely show that
you are getting just what is coming
to you. If your business is a success
you are taking the credit for it; il
it is a failure you r likely abusing
the people and the administration,
all of which proves that you are self
ish and prejudiced. You get all the
recognition" you are entitled to.
People invariably take you for what
you are actually worth and credit
you accordingly. When you get the
notion in your head that you are not
being appreciated at your true worth,
take another look and reduce your
estimate of yourself. You have
overrated yourself.--Modesto News.
