tried again went glimmering Monday
afternoon, when he was not repre-
sented by counsel in court.

Toast to you at an old time din

of his intimate friends who taken
the back trail to Goldfield was con-
tanned in a message received last
week by H. o. Hall of the Northern
hotel.
The greeting from his pioneer as
sociates recalled the misty past, and

days before Goldfeld attracted world
wide attention. The early crowd
that wended its way into the untried
camp were world beaters. They hit
it up in great style. 1t was not
collection of misfits that caused the
greatest excitement ever known In
the history of western mining camps.
1t was the bunch that kept pace
with the clock that had gathered to-
gether over the festive board to re-
call old times and to rejoice that
Goldfield had taken on a new lease
of life. 1t was the crowd that as
sited In opening up the amazing
treasure cave In Goldfield that sent
greeting to TEX Hall one of the
absent brothers.
Among those who attended the
gala occasion were George W. Wing

Annual Work
Is Necessary
NEVADA CONSOLIDATED MUST
PAY OUT MONEY EACH YEAR
ON CLAIMS BECAUSE OTHER
INTERESTS REFUSE TO ATENT.

Affidavit of assessment work on
the Saltwater No. 5 fraction in the
Robinson Mining district was filed
in the Recorders office last Thurs
day by the Nevada Consolidated Cop
per company, William Lawson and
Ben Regli. The Guggenheim inter-
ests control two-thirds of the claim,
while the remaining third Is held by
Lawson and Regli. The Nevada Con-
solidated has been anxious for the
last seven years to have the prop
orty patented, but the minority in
terests have declined to become par
ties to such procedure, hence the
necessity of expending 500 in devel-
opment work on the mineral tract
every twelve months.
AS the year is drawing to close
claim owners throughout the county
have not neglected to protect their
holdings, and numerous proofs of an
nual labor have been filed with the
county recorder during the week.

As TO GERMAN ANNOUNCE

Especial to the News)

The coordination of military
readiness which has been observed
since the commencement of the war,
is now shown in a striking way In
the offensive movement of the allies
in northern France and Flanders,
keeping the Germans engaged and
preventing them from sending rein
forcements eastward. The allies
claim gains in Flanders and France
during the past few days. which are
bard to counterbalance German ad-
yances in Poland.
Progress of the Allies in the vi
einity of La-Bassee. where the Ger
mans had elung tenaciously to their
positions for so many weeks, is re-
garded as particularly noteworthy.
as the German spear point there had
produced an irritating problem. The
advance on the Allies thus far has
been slow, but the critics expect it
to gain impetus.
ers say that the doubts expressed by
them of the correctness of the Ger
man announcement that an historic
victory had been won over the Rus
sian hosts in Poland are borne out
by the apparent lessening of en-
thusiasm at Berlin where the atmos-
phere during the last two days was
surcharged with exuberant rejoic-

any serious reverses in the field of
operations along the vistula river.
1t is regarded here as quite pos
sible that the Teutonic Allies have
had successes in some localities. The
reverses which Petrograd says the
Germans have suffered in the region
of Mlawa. near the east Prussian
frontier. is believed in London to
have interfered with the operations
of the Germans along the Vistula. 1t
is asserted unofficially at Petrograd
that the Germans have evacuated

strategic value to them than 1t was
to the Russians.

Russian war Office stated definitely
that all Austro-German attacks along

Cotton Waste in War

One curious result of the present war has
been to send UP the price of cotton waste
enormously. says Tit-Bits.
The reason is that its uses In warfare
are manifold. One kind, for instance.
forms the basis of cordite. while another
variety is used in the manufacture of Gel
luloid, which is the principal ingredient
in the incendiary shells used by the Ger
mans to set fire to towns and villages,
and in the little fire bug discs carried
by their infantrymen for like purpose.
Thousands of tons Of candles are issued
to our troops in the field, where, of
course, hardly any other. kind of illumi-
nant is usually available. The wicks- of
these are made of waste; no other ma
terial will do.
Aviators use 1t to clean their machines;
so. too. do motor mechanics and engine
drivers. A plentiful supply Of oiled waste
is almost as necessary to a guns crew
as is ammunition; no other substance will
swab out properly the bore of the piece
after 1t has been fired. or cleanse salts
factorily the complicated breech mechan-
ism.
Similarly, the pull through" with which
Tommy cleans out his rifle Is just cot
ton waste tied to the end of piece of
string of suitable length. Also. should
he be wounded, the injury will be dressed
with medicated absorbent cotton wool.
which is our old friend waste again under
another name; and the bed which he will
presently occupy In the base hospital will
be covered by sheets and a counterpart
into the composition of which waste
largely enters.
The wadding in ''Tommy's'' tunic Is just
waste. and it is also used in this form to
pack innumerable' kinds of war stores,
so as to prevent damage in transit.

1t was General Leman, the gallant de-
fender of Liege. who stated some years
ago that the modern cupola forts In Bel
GUM were so strongly made and skiilfully
placed that the most deadly gunfire could
not shatter them. Unhappily the state
ment was not borne out by facts, Tor the
Namur forts soon fell after the Germans
stormed them.
Lurid pictures of the havoc airshfps
would wreak upon towns have been drawn
many times by novelists of fine fancy
and unbridled imagination. But their
Imagination was only stirred by the the
orizing of aeronautical experts. Even
Colonel Capper. the late commander OF
the government balloon school. was mis-
taken in his ideas as to the power of air
craft In war. 1t IL true that they have
been very useful for scouting purposes to
our army, but it is much too sweeping
to say they have revolutionized warfare.
Lesser critics have declared that a great
European war would not last more than
a month owing to the tremendous cost
it would entail and the frightful loss Of
life that would result, Well. over four
months have passed, and millions of men
are still engaged in this terrible strife,
ready to fight until they are wiped out.
Money still continues to pour into gov
