 All United States property, eompris- ing Qualifications everywhere in the conquered territory, navy yards, post offices, custom houses, lighthouses, treasury buildings and courthouses, were listed in proclamations through out the occupied country as good and legal prizes of war. The property so seized in the city of New York alone amounted to $66,OOo,0oo
 The United States was working fu- riously for defense. In the steel coun- try of Pennsylvania and the west all the works were being altered to turn them into factories for shells, shrap- mel, big guns and gun carriages. At Waterv1fet and Indian Head the ca paeity of the shops had been enlarged immensely, and there was not a mo ment in the day or the night when there was a pause in the headong la Dor. Powder was being made in the middle west, in places safe from any possible attack by aeroplanes. The f1y- ing machine works of Hammondsport, and Buffalo, in New York, San Die go, California, and Overland park in Kansas were turning out machines at the rate of one and sometimes two month Half a dozen other factories were being erected.
 A group of automobile factories had agreed to turn out two ton trucks at the rate of forty a day. and. indeed. already were producing thirty a day. One concern was working under con tract to produce enough automobiles every day to carry one regiment, each machine capable of making 100 miles a day with four men and ten days ra- 1 had agreed between them to produce enough motors in every working day to carry five or six regiments.
 All the industrial efficiency on the land could not provide 15,O00 trained and experienced officers, and that num- ber was needed if the country was to put half a million volunteers into the field
 IAlI the efficiency of men and engines could not correct, except by tedious, slow training, the defects in any army system that had made it impossible in peace times to concentrate 16;000 men and officers at the San Antonio border of Texas in less than three months aft CT the order was issued.
 All the efficiency could not alter the fact that of the whole militia force of the United States, enrolled as linen
 
 four divisions already with the army, there were only 24,OOo, or 3S per cent, who could shoot well enough to make them suitable for battle purposes. There were only 425,ooo rifles in re serve The volunteers would have to drul without arms till factories could be put into operation.
 Seven militia mobilization camps were in the territory lost to the United States. One thousand acres of powder works in New Jersey were in the pos session of the invaders.
 The volunteers needed shirts. breech- es, underwear. The four leading cities in the manufacture of cotton goods, the four that led in making woolen goods and the leaders in making cloth ing were cut off from the United States.

NEW GOLD

Drew Taylor, who is in Reno from
a new district of virgin territory ly-
ing between Buckhorn and the old
camp of Cortez in Eureka county, is
verv enthusiastic over the showing
in the mine he is interested in.
Assays running as high as 500 a
ton have been obtained from the
original strike. To the west of it
lies the old Cortez property, now be-
ing worked by Captain J. B. Menar-
di and associates, and to the east is
the Buckhorn mine. The old Cortez
property in the early days produced
100000 900 and the Buckhorn prop
erty is a steady producer now. Tay-
lor says there r many prospectOrs
in the district and Salt Lake capital
lists are heavily interested.-Gaze tie.

HAWTHORNE DISTRICT
DUMPS TO BE WORKED

Tailings of old and famous mines,
the Lapanta at Pamlico in Haw-
thorne district, and the Mount Dia-
bio at Sodaville, are to be worked by
a company in which A. w. Thomas
of Cleveland, Ohio. and L.. w. Greg
DRY, a mining man of Reno, are in
terested.
The company will treat the tailings
by a new process and will extract
gold from about so tons a day when
the necessary machinery is installed.
A dry grinder and amalgamator is
used in this process. and machinery
sufficient to begin operations at one
of the mines is at Nina awaiting
transportation
Operations r expected to begin in
about 80 days and good returns are
in sight. The company claims that
If so per cent of their expectations
are realized they will have a big
thing.
The Colonial Securities company of
Cleveland has been interested in the
project, the first time that corpora
ton has invested money in a Nevada
mining project. Its cooperation
was secured through the efforts of

CENTRAL DISTRICT is
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Central district. in the Eugene
mountains 20 miles west of Winnie
mucca, is beginning to attract the
attention of prospectors. Recently To-
cal prOspectors and locators, Smith
and company, visited the section and
while prospecting encountered rich
float on the side of Kilbourne hill.
Tracing the float to find the vein
brought them les the crest of Kill
bourne peak, where there is being
opened a clean cut mineral bearing
vein. The n are arranging
for a thorough campaign of explor-
alton of their discovery.
The Central district has been a
producer of high grade ore for a
long time. Prospectors and claim
have been working proper
ties in that section and taking out
very rich shipping ore. For more
than 20 years C. M. Harvey has been
quietly engaged in developing his
properties in Central district and
making shipments to the smelters.

"GLOOMY GUS" FOUND
DEAD SOUTH OF TOWN

Gus Miller, more Familiarity known
as Gloomy Gus" was found dead,
lying race downward. in a clump of
%sagebrush in the canyon just south
of town about 1880 O'Clock this after
noon. His body was discovered by
Tom Olson who was coming along the
path to town. From the position of
his body it vas evident that he had
suffered a stroke of heart failure. He
had been dead about an hour when
found. But little is known of the
unfortunate man, who had resided in
Goldfield for about ten years.

not il is the intention of the direc-
tors of the Jim Butler company to
pay dividends at regular intervals.
1t has been announced by the man
agement that the dividend of 10 cents
per share which was declared last
week is to be paid out of accumulated
earnings and not for any stated per-
iod. Dividends will be disbursed in
the future as earnings warrant.
1t has been decided by the local
management of the Jim Butler to
take care of the most of their own
repair work in the future, and to that
end a machine shop is now being
erected at the Wandering Boy shaft.
Development continues to be crowd
ed, both at the Wandering Boy and at
the Desert queen, and this will doubt
less result in the opening up on con-
siderable new ore.
Gypsy Queen
At a depth of 1880 feet the shaft
of the Gypsy Queen has broken into
a ledge which now shows a width of
five feet. How much wider the ledge
will prove must be determined by lat
er developments. No assays have
been secured as yet, and while the
quartz now exposed has rather a
hungry look it is hoped that good
values may be found by further pros
pecting. The prospects for the Gypsy
Queen are believed to be brighter
than at any time in it's history. The
management is thinking of putting on
another shift at the mine.-Tonopah

ROBBERS MAKE
HAUL IN T0NOPAH
TWO MASKED MEN HOLD UP
OVER TWENTY MEN IN
COBWEB SALOON

The Cobweb saloon at Tonopah
was the scene of a hold-up early
yesterday morning that for boldness
and the daring with which it was
executed has not had a parallel
since the early Gays or the camp.
About twenty men we're in the sa-
loon at the time. The majority
we're playing cards and the rest
standing at the bar. Shortly after
8 o'clock the front doors of the
saloon swung open and two bandits.
masked so completely that not a
single feature was visible, entered,
each carrying a brace of leveled re-
volvers.
The larger of the pair, who, it
was quite evident, was an old hand
at the game, coolly ordered the sur
prised and dumbfounded men to
throw up their hands and line up
with their faces toward the wall,
adding significantly that he would
stand for no monkey business. The
smaller of the two, who, in con-
trast to the iron nerve displayed by
his companion, IA rather nervous,
drove the card players to the wall
while the other went behind the bar
and rifled the cash register of its
entire contents. not e overlook
ing the nickels. While the shorter
of the robbers covered the men lined
up against the wall his partner sys-
Tins. taking all money and jewelry
worth anything. Two or three men
managed to hide their jewelry and
thus saved it. One man dropped his
diamond ring into a cuspidor and
another turned a valuable diamond
stone worth $1,000 to the inside of
his hand so hat only a plain band
showed. The trick was successful
and the ring was disregarded by
the bandits. The total haul amount.
ed to between 500 and $500.
Finishing what could be called a
thorough job the hold-ups backed
out Of the saloon with a warning to
their victims not to follow and
dashed UP the alley, in which act
they were seen by several p~assersby.
A few moments later several of the
men armed themselves and started
in pursuit, but the only trace of the
men they could find was the masks
and SLOUGH hats which the robbers
had tossed aside when a safe dis
lance away from the scene of the
hold-up.
Two men have been placed under
arrest on suspicion. but the general
opinion is that the real culprits made
their getaway. Little incidents
in connection with the carrying out
of the robbery indicate that the men
were strangers, and upon this theory
it is believed that they went over
to TonOpah from Goldfield. The
local sheriff's office has been on the
lookout for clews, but as yet moth
ing has materialized. A large sun
of money in the Cobweb safe was
overlooked.

METAL MINING IN
EASTERN STATES

gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc in
the eastern or Appalachian states in
1914 was $1~1,437,70i, against s12,-
413,396 in 1918, according to II. ID.
McCaskey in a statement just made
public by the United States geologi-
cal survey. The figures for 1914 rep
resent the production of 81 mines, of
which As were gold placer mines
(many of them small), SO deep gold
mines, seven zinc mines and seven
copper mines. There vas an increase
in the production of gold and of zinc
in 1914 as compared with 1913, but
the yield of silver, lead and copper
was smaller.
The gold output from all mines
was S,397.36 fine ounces, valued at
$173,5S9, an increase of $3.50 in
value from the production of 1918.
The silver output recovered entirely
as a by-product in refining the gold
and copper produced, was 10O,727
fine ounces, valued at $55,702, a de-
crease of 1O,4S7 ounces in quantity
and of $11,471 in value. OF the
gold output in 1914 the placers yield
ed 904.56 ounces, against 6,S92.09
ounces in 1918. The copper mines
produced 327.21 ounces in 1914 and
391.59 ounces in 1913. OF the As
producing gold p~lacers in 1914, there
were 26 in Georgia, IL in North Caro-
line, one in Alabama and six in
South Carolina. There were 31,S12
short tons of siliciOus ores or tail
ings sold or treated from Appalachian
gold mines in 1914, of which 17,451
tons were from North Carolina, 5.079
tons from Alabama 1850 tons from
Georgia, and 1881 tons from South
Carolina.
The output of siliceous gold ore in
1914 was about 1929 tons more
than in 1913, and the gold from
deep mines increased about 200
ounces
The average recovery of gold (in-
Guiding nominal recovery of silver)
per ton of silicious ores treated in
the eastern states in 1914 was $4.69
The average in Alabama was $2.2S.

$7.17.
The copper production in 1914
was 19,555,362 pounds, valued at
$2,G00,S63, an increase of 400 1867
pounds in quantity and of $493,670
in value. or the total output 49,
1866 pounds came from the Duck
town district of eastern Tennessee,
from 653,621 short tons of pyritic
copper ore treated. The remainder
came chiefly from Pennsylvania,
where, at the Cornwall iron mines,
magnetic separation of large ton
nages of magnetic ores results in the
recovery of cOpper-bearing pyrite.
Maryland, Virginia and North Gallo
lima also contributed to the copper
output.
The production of lead was only
254,00O pounds valued at $1,000, a
large decrease from the production
in 1913.
The zinc output, figured as spelter,
was 169, 716,954 pounds in quantity
but a decrease of $416,000 in value.
The largest producers were the zinc
mines of New Jersey, but a large and
increased output also came from
Eastern Tennessee. The small re-
mainder of the zinc output came
from mines in Virginia and New
Hampshire.

TOnOpah Mining Co.
1t is reported in a press dispatch
from Denver that the Tonopah Mining
company of Nevada, after much ex-
perimenting has discovered a process
to p%rofitably treat the low-grade sui
phide pres of Clear Creek county,
Colorado. The discovery, it is stat
ed, was made by a Swedish chemist
in the company's employ and the
company is to expend $4,000 on an
experimental plant to try out the
process.
Owing to the absence from camp
of Mr.. Spur and Superintendent
Blackburn, at this writing, it is i'm
possible to verify the above, but in
view of the well-known and wide &C
tivities of the company there is no
reason to doubt it. The Tonopah
Mining company does not confine
itself to a single camp and with it's
large liquid u it is able to
take advantage of any investment
that may arise.
At the local mines the past week
the most of the new development
work was done in the Silver Top, and
the least in the Sand Grass-there
being but 20 feet of new ground
broken in the latter.
