READY TO SAIL.

New York, Sept. 2s.-The fifth day
of the watch maintained ON the New
York harbor by the auxiliary British
cruiser Caronia, formerly Of the Cunard
line found the cruiser still at her post.
She lay of Sandy Hook, apparently
just where she has been for two days
almost directly in the path way Of in
coming and outgoing ships and easily
discernible from shore. No other war
ships were in sight.
Not far from the Caronia but pro-
tected by the neutral waters OF the
United States lay the North German
Lloyd liner Barbarossa at Stapleton,
Staten Island whittier she went a
week ago from her pier in the Hudson
river. The Barbarossa's owners
secuted the report that the vessel con.
templated sudden dash to sea- Ever
since the Barbarossa anchored at
Stapleton, however the harbor en-
trance has been watched day and
night by British warships.

Great Battle is Il,
Getting Nearer
in Eastern Field

London, Sept. 2S,-The hour
for the battle which will deter
mine whether the Russians will
make their proposed invasion
of Germany with Berlin as the
final objective, appears to be
drawing near.
Official and unofficial advices
indicate a struggle In Russian
Poland rivaling in desperate
ness and possibly in the num-
bers engaged, the battles of
the Marne and the Aisne. The
main body Of the Russians is
moving toward the Posen from
tier. On it's right another army
is supposed to be attempting
to protect the larger body by
stemming the rush southwark
of the German force that drove
the Russian invaders from East
Prussia, and now seeks to halt
the westward movement.
At the same time the Rus
sian army in Galicia is pushing
it's successes against the Aus
trians and moving westward
with the expectation of meet
ing the combined Austrian and
German forces concentrating at
Cracrow on the Galician from
tier in battle which, If sue
cessful will complete their
campaign in Galicia. The Ger
mans are reported in strong
force on the line from Kalisz
to Cracrow where they are said
to be we'll entrenched. In the
far east the Japanese-B British
attack on Kiao Chow, the Ger
man leased possession in
China, moves slowly. A battle
between land forces has been
fought on the outskirts of
Using Tau. the seat of govern
ment of Kiao Chow.

Violent attacks are being delivered by the Germans
against the lines of the allies between the districts of the
Aisne and the Argonne says the official French state
ment issued at Paris this afternoon
Thus far, according to the statement these on
slaughts have been repused The official announcement
is brief the French office contentng itself with the
added remark that there is nothing otherwise in the
general situation.
Germany is prepared to finance long war. This as
sertion is made in dispatch from Berlin which passed
through the hands of the British at London The
war is costing Germany, it is stated $5,00000O day.
The loan has proven success and with the various
resources from which the government derive the
war revenue it will be possible for Germany it is said
to continue the struggle for year with the money
in sight.
dispatch from Rome says that 100000 troops have
been assembled at Poa the great naval port of Austria

WALTER MASON HELD
FOR STEALING MEAT

Floyd Johnson of the Tonopah &
Goldfield Meat Markets slaughter
house, located about a mile west of
town, was awakened at daylight this
morning by a noise. Proceeding to
investigate. he found Walter Mason
about to amble away with half of a
dressed hog. Not being able to give
a satisfactory explanation of why
the hog was resting on his shoulder,
Mason was forcibly detained at the
slaughter house by Johnson until
the arrival of Deputy Sheriffs Mer-
Ger and Bogard, who escorted him
to the city bastile. He will be ar
raigned on a charge of burglary.
1t has been the custom of the
slaughter house employees to hang
the dressed meat on hooks outside
the plant, and although portions of
the meat have been missed from
time to time for the past eight years,
this is the first time anyone has
been caught red-handed in the act of
carrying it away.

Missouri leads all the other states
in the production of two important
metals, lead and zinc. and the pro-
duction of two relatively unimport-
II minerals, barytes and tripoli, &C
cOrding to a statement made public
by the United States geological sur
vey in cooperation with the Missouri
state survey. The state also ranks
second in the production of mineral
paints. The mining and marketing
of lead and zinc ores in Missouri is
of a character peculiar to the state
in that the ores themselves, or rather
the concentrates, are marketed prod
ucts, and strictly speaking the basis
of production is the output and val
ue of the concentrates, as thai is the
condition in which the product is
first sold. In most of the metal-pro-
ducing states, however, the only
method of determining the value is
on the metals themselves, principally
because of the complex character of
the ores, which carry two or more of
the metals, these being separated in
the smelling and renning process.
The lead ores of Missouri and of the
other states of the Mississippi valley
carry so little silver that it is disre-
garded in the assay anL sale of IN
centrates, and the lead produced
prom them is known to the trade as
soft lead" The total value of the
lead and zinc concentrates sold in
1913 was $21.1O9,35S, against $24,-
937,161 in 1912. Based on the me-
talic content, the total production of
lead and zinc in Missouri in 1913
was valued at $29,494,0 64, against
$34,S20.24S in 1912. The decrease
il 1918 was almost entirely due to
a smaller output of zinc ores, with a
marked decline in price.
Third in importance among Mis-
souri's mineral industries is the min
ing of coal, the production of which
decreased slightly, from 4,339,S5G
short tons, valued at $7,633,S64, in
1912, to $4,31S,125 tons, valued at
~$7,46S,30S, in 1913.
Clay products are fourth in the
value of MissOuri's mineral output.
While ranking seventh among the
states in the total value of its clay
products, it ranks second in the man,
ufacture of fire brick, which is the
principal clay product of the state.
The principal center of the industry
is in the immediate vicinity of st.
Louis. The refractory brick made in
Missouri are of especially high grade,
and the average price of fire brick is
higher than in any other state eX-
cept New Jersey. Ordinary clay is
widely distributed and is utilized in
nearly every county in the state. The
total value of the clay products in

BIG .RUBBERNECK' AUTO
PASSES THROUGH GOLDFIELD

For the first time in it's history
Goldfield was visited this afternoon
by a 'rubberneck" auto, a ~five-seat-
ed affair capable of carrying twenty
five people. The car, a forty horse
power Oldsmobile, is being taken to
Milford, Utah, from Los Angeles.
The ''rubberneck." which is preced-
ed by a touring car, acting as pilot,
has made the journey so far without
even a punctiure and with but lit
tie difficulty on the steep grades.
The party. numbering five men, left
Los Angeles a week ago last Friday,
and with the exception of one stop
of four days at Big Pine. will go
straight through to Utah, travelling
over the Midland trail.

CAMP
SHOWS ACTIVITY

The activity at the new camp of
TonogOld, four miles to the north of
TOnopah, continues with undated
vigor.
Prospect holes are being sunk
nearly every 100 feet or ever less,
and the number of them in which
gold can be found by panning is
quite surprising.
Campbell & Kelly are now en-
gagged in putting up a gallows frame
on their lease and a hoist has been
ordered which will arrive shortly.
They are down about SIS feet and the
report that comes from the lease this
week is that the VEL. is widening
out and getting richer with depth.
The Gingles lease on the Tally
& Shipway ground is one of the most
promising in the district. The shaft
is now down 80 feet and in values all
the way. At a depth or II feet COM
mercial values we're encountered
across one foot of ledge matter with
a streak which was quite rich. The
ore averaged about $40 across II
inches. The values held most of the
way down, but the formation is brok-
en- and the ore occurs in punches. At
the present depth the vein has a fine
smooth footwall, pitches slightly to
the west and the Formation is more
solid.
NuttO & Roberts are down 80 feet
on their ledge and have just broken
into a loot of ore that looks good
and assays as high as $50 a ton.
Gaillac, Murphy & Zenlusen are
down IS feet on their lease and
have opened up 16 inches of ore that
shows gold in the pan.
A strike was made last Monday in
a lease on a claim owned by Jack
Williamson at a depth of three feet
and an assay taken cross two and a
half feet ran $16.45 with 50 cents
of the values in silver.
The May lease on the Saunders &
Sorensen property is now down 80
feet and at the last report the leas-
ers were sacking from the whole bot
tom of the shaft. Assays go as high
as $4S per ton.
A lease two blocks to the north
of the May lease is down eleven feet
and recently two assays across IA
inches of the vein gave returns of
$40 and SIS to the ton.
At the AL Wardle lease a stringer
of quartz four inches wide thai shows
gold visible to the naked eye was run
into on Thursday. This is at a depth

PENNSYl VAN|A'S MINERAL OUTPUT Is
VALUED AT SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION

la increased from $1S,539,672 in
1912 to 21,695,S45 in 1913.
Up to 1894 Pennsylvania was the
leading state in the production of
petroleum, but in 1895 it was exceed
ed by Ohio, the production of Penn
sylvania having begun to decline in
1891, while Ohio vas approaching its
maximum, which was attained in
1906. In more recent years West
Virginia, Texas, California, Illinois
and Oklahoma have all risen rapidly
and passed Pennsylvania in the pro-
ductiCn of petroleum. On account
of the higher grade of Pennsylvania's
oil, however, it still ranks fifth in
value of production. The output of
petroleum in Pennsylvania increased
slightly in quantity. from 7,S37,94S
barrels in 1912 to 7,063,2S2 barrels
in 1913, with an increase of over so
per cent in value. from $12,SS6,752
to $19~,S05,452.
The production of limestone is the
principal factor in placing Pennsyl-
vania first as a producer of stone,
though the state is also first in the
production of slate, sand and gravel,
and lime. In 1913 the total value of
the stone quarried in Pennsylvania,
exclusive of slate and limestone
mnde into lime, was $10,117,469,
against $9,144,214 in 1914.

ARKANSAS LEADS IN
ALUMINIUM OUTPUT

Arkansas is first among the states
bauXite and novacuiite, the former
being the ore or aluminium and the
latter the ource of the larger part
of the oilstones produced in the Unit
ed States. The principal mineral
product of Arkansas, however, is
,ooaB the annual value of which con-
stituted ovtr so per cent of the
states total. The total value of all
the mineral products OF Arkansas in
1913 was $6,7S0,76O, according to
the United States geological survey,
compared with $~6,25s,726 in 1912.
The coal production vas ~2,234,1O7
short tons, valued at $3,923,7O1 in
1913, against 2,10O,S 19 tons, valued
at $3,5S2,7S9 in 1912. The Goals of
Arkansas are generally of high grade,
particularly in the eastern part of
the coal field, where they approach
anthracite in character. The Semi
anthracite of Arkansas is an excel
lent domestic fuel and reaches mar
kets as far north as Kansas City.
BauXite, from which aluminium is
derived, is second among the mineral
products of the state. 1t is mined
near Benton. in Saline county, and
III Paulaski county.
In 1413 the stone quarries of Ar
kansas furnished products valued at
$525.050, exclusive of novaculite
AID of limestone burned for lime. II
1872 the quarry products were va
ued at $513,S44. The clay-working
Industries, while not highly develop
cd, take third place and in 1913 pro-
luced an output. valued at $529,624,
:p increase of $67,019 over 1912.
The sand and gravel pits yielded
$"2O,639 in 1913 and $393,639 in
1912. The only metalliferous prod
acts of Arkansas besides bauxite are
lead, zinc and manganiferous ores.
Other commercial mineral products
are fuller's earth. gems and precious
stones, lime, mineral waters, natural
gas, phosphate rock and slate.

death of John Blackwell, a resident
OF Carson City, who killed himself
on his ranch near there recently fol-
lowing the receipt of letters threaten
ing to burn his barn has been clear
ed up. 1t was at first supposed that
worry over his property drove him
to take his own life but it now APP
pears, after a thorough investigation
by the Sheriff's office, that he wrote
himself the letter, burned the barn
in the hope of obtaining the fire in
surance and, believing that he was
soon to be arrested. he killed him

creased in value from $780, 66 to
$~4,556,S22.
The quarry products, principally
limestone, exhibited a slight increase,
showing s2,53S.699 in 1913, against
$2,4S6,5 sos in 1912.
The sand and gravel pits yielded
4,126,126 short IONS in 1918, valued
at $~1,109.233, against 3,6S7,3SO
tons, valued at $1,0So,279 in 1912.
Most of the sand and gravel produc-
ed is used for the manufacture of
concrete.
The production of lime increased
from 14S,SS5 short tons, valued at
S721,S96. in 1912, to 161,770 tons.
valued at $734,009, in 1913.
The other mineral products of the
state are barytes, copper, iron ore,
mineral paints. mineral waters, nat
ural gas, gems, petroleum, pyrite,
silver and tripoli. On account of the
decreased value of the zinc produc-
ton in 1918, the total value of the
mineral products decreased from
S5S,332,550 in 1912 to $54,OO1, OOS

Adams Jewelry Store buys every
article of their stock, except in du-
plicating, by sample and not by the
picture in a book.
Even with that vast experience
along with the knowledge we have
gained from study and experience we
can not make a wise selection from
a catalOg cut. We have been fooled
time and again where it seemed that
we had an offer of duplicate of
something We had in stock for less
money than we had paid. The ex-
PLANTATION lies in the fact that all
good things are duplicated in goods
of light weight or poorer quality, and
generally the cut made from the good
piece is used for advertising.
Often times only an expert can de-
tect the difference in the cost. If you
cannot see the difference, and you can
