AGAIN in LIMELIGHT

The bonding of the Old Kentuck
mine near Sweetwater to eastern
capitalists and the commencement of
work upon the property has caused
the owner of mining claims in the
vicinity to have renewed hope, and
many are preparing to do more or
less development work on their prop
critics this season.
Snow in the mountains will handi-
cap the work for another month at
least. The Old Kentuck is one of
the most famous properties in this
section and in the early days Of min
ing was a great producer. = Haw-

HORROR OF GASES USED BY GERMANS

NEW YORK, May 30. - A letter
from Major General Edward Stuart
Wortley, commander of a British
army corps in France, is made pub
lie here by his brother, Ralph Stu
art-Wortley of New rorK, giving this
distinguished officers tribute to the
behavior of a Canadian division in
France, and describing the horrors
which resulted from the use of as
phyxiating gases by the Germans.
The effect of these gases upon the
men who inhale them, he says, has
been to turn all the tissues of the
lungs into liquid, and during the two
days that it takes for the men to die
the victims are the most hopeless,
helpless, s%ickening sight imagin-
able"
The letter follows:
You will of course have read of
the fighting that has been going on
round Ypres just lately, and of the
magnificent behavior of the Canadian
division. In their attack on the
Ypres salient the Germans made use
of asphyxiating gases. This gas is
disseminated both in shells and
bombs and also from cylinders,
which are buried in the trenches
with their noZzles pushed through
the p%arapets. The taps of the cylin-
ders are then turned on and the gas,
which is, as far as we know, chlor-
inc, is pumped out. The gas, which
is heavier than air, and which is
blown by the wind across our lines,
sinks into u trenches and kills or
incapacitates any men who happen
to be in them. The effect of the gas
can also be felt as far back as five
or six miles and produces headache
and a smarting of the eyes.
1.-The German papers as well as
falsely accusing us of making use OF
poisonous fumes, apparently defend
their conduct by stating that the
dissemination Of the gas results in a
swift and painless death for those
with whom it comes in contact, and
consequently is less barbarOus than
subjecting men to an inferno OF
shell fire from which great physical
and mental torture must necessarily
be endured.

To Erect School Buildings

The Seventh Day Adventists OF
Nevada will erect school buildings
that will cost between $4,000 and
and $1,000 and which will accom-
modate 90 pupils, at a site one mile
from Fallon. They viii be comrlet-
ed this fall. The members of that
sect have concluded 4 seven day con-
vention at Fallon. Prof. A. w. Rus
sell of Iona Linda, Calf, will have
charge of the institution. Ten
acres of land for the site have been
donated to the project By Will Har-
mon, a prominent raDcher and farm

University Swan Shot

An Italian irrigating hand, work
ing for ]. N. Evans. a well known
resident of Reno, had been hunting
all day north of Reno with i'll sue
cess. Passing the university lake
he saw one of the beautiful swans
rising gracefully from its surface.
He Immediately drew a bead on the
bird and let go He killed the swan
but it cost him $25 as Comptroller

to throw him in Jail with the result
that he was given 4 quarter century
note to purchase a few TO replace
the victim.

81 am sure the public cannot have
as yet the slightest idea of this last
damnable effort on the part of the
Germans to disregard all laws of hui
mainly and civilization.
81 have een u men in hospitals
after having been brought back from
the trenches. There is no need to
ask for the ward in which they are,
as their %groaning is quite sufficient
a direction of itself. In n ward
there are eighteen cases. They are
all sitting bolt upright, or swaying
back and forwards, gasping for
breath; their faces, hands and necks
a shiny, gray-black color, their eyes
glazed and unable absolutely to
speak or feed.
1T takes two days for these men
to die. During these two days they
are in the most acute agony, and If
by the slightest chance they recover
from the poison they will in all
probability be rendered useless for
life, as the effect of the gas is to
turn all the tissues of the lungs into
liquid. The doctors and nurses are
working day and night in the at
tempt to give some relief. But there
is nothing to be done. 1t is the
most hopeless, helpless, s%ickening
sight imaginable. Our medical Off
Ger, who has had a very large expert
ence of the habits of African and
Asiatic natives, tells us that in all
his life he has never had to deal
with such an example of scientific
torture.
"At first l vas inclined to disbe-
lieve the accounts of the illtreatment
of our prisoners at the hands of the
enemy and put them down to the in
evitable exaggeration of warfare,
but now that l have come face to
face with German methods in the
field, my opinions have undergone a
gradual but permanent change

FUTURE
BEFORE CONTACT

Promising, indeed. is the outlook
for the Contact district. Struggling
for so years, with now and then a
rift in the darkening clouds that
buoyed up the hopes of its struggling
inhabitants for a brief moment, the
camp valiantly has fought for the
recognition that today seems a GER
tainty. Disheartened and discour-
aged, many a prospector and miner
has turned his back upon the despair
which eventually overcame him in
his years of waiting for the time
when Contact would be heralded as a
copper producing district worthy of
the attention of the mining world,
says the Contact Miner.
1t is reasonable now to believe tina,
this time is near al hand. There
has just left us a party of men well
known in business circles of the
west. who came to Contact to inspect
holdings which they have held for a
number of years. They are men of
prominence in their own communi-
ty, men with years of business sue
cesses in various lines of industry.
They are men noted for their integ-
rity, upright in their dealings. hon.
est of purpose. These gentlemen
are the officers and directors of the
Nevada Copper Mining, Milling ana
Power company. and they promise
the Contact district betterments
which cannot. with any degree of
success in their operation, but mean
the salvation of the entire copper
zone of northern Elko county. And
good old Nevada as a Who'll will bene-
fit UNNECESSARILY, to say nothing of
what our development mean to the
city of Twin Falls and southern
Idaho.
One mill in successful operation
will mean that many other reduction
works will dot our hills and that
many another prospect of today will
be developed into a paying property.
These gentlement promise us a flota-
ton plant and their operations to
date lead up to believe they are tell
ing the truth.
Electricity is necessary for the sue
cessful operation of their mill and
the other plants and industries that
may hereafter operate in this dis
trict, and these gentlemen of the
Nevada Copper Mining, Milling and
Power company promise us a power
generating plant that will furnish
sufficient influence not only to turn
the wheels of industry in their own
Contact, building in units as demand
may necessitate to supply other com.
panies througout the district.
Fire protection is needed in the
town of Contact. and to furnish the
same, these men have given their
system will shortly be installed. Ac-
cording to their statements the
pumping equipment has been pur-
chased and material for the rection
| of a pumping station is now en- route
to Contact.
With these projects carried out
there can be no doubt as to the flu
ture of Contact. With these men
behind the Nevada Copper company,
making. repeating and %reiterating
these promises, every man in camp,
for the good of the entire district,
should place his shoulder to the
wheel and boost for the success Of
their enterprise, which means the
making of Contact.
