London. Jan. 2.-The latest news
available from the western battle
front shows that little progress is be-
ing made by the alliel forces, and
rather indicates a sporadic renewal
of the German offensive with result
ant slight gains in the Argonne and
French Flanders.
General Joffe apparently still is
avoiding a general attack. Except
for their tactics of feeling out the
German line by attacks here and
there the allies are playing il wait

RELIC OF OLDEN
DAYS IN NEVADA
BOOK A OF RECORDS AN
INTERESTING VOLUME
FIRST DOCUMENT RECORDED IS
THAT OF ORGANIZING MoREY
MINING DISTRICT

Book A of the records of Nye coun-
ty is the most treasured of the coun-
tvs possessions which are guarded
by BILLY" Grimes, the auditor and re-
corder. Dating back to war times, the
book typewriter, for use of loose leafs,
was not then in vogue, nor does me
chirography of those days withstand
the lapse of sixty years. The leaves
are yellowed by time and the ink has
faded
The first document placed on record
was the report of the organization Of
Morey district. A. J. Emerson was
chairman and Fl. N. Bonner secretary.
Adam Hall was the first recorder of
the district. The boundaries were Hot
creek, Eight Mile canyon and Indian
valley The book of records shows
that revenue stamps were in vogue in
those days, but 1t was because of q
home war, not one in progress abroad
II was the custom as well as the Law
then to permit locator to hold {
claim only POO feet long, unless h'
was the discoverer of the ledge. whicl
entitled him to 200 feet additional.
The first mining location recorded
in Nye county was the Mammoth
ledge in Morey district It was takel
up by A. ]. Emerson, G. c. Harbinson
Adam Hall and L. A. Curtis. Will
locator was entitled to but 200 fee
on any ledge, it appears from tn
pages that follow that the locators {
/ the Mammoth also took up nearly a
of the district at later periods.
