Oats-The current delivery IN oats

RIO GRANDE SHAFT
CUTS ANOTHER VEIN

Ore assaying Sc in gold and %
ounces in silver, with some copper
values has been encountered at a
depth of 225 feet from the surface
on the Rio Grade Grubstake com
pany's property, located % miles
east of Mason Valley, New, accord
ing to a letter received by the local
officials from Superintendent w. F.
Smith. Approximately 40 IONS of
ore we're hoisted while sinking and
drifting on the vein, which is more
that II feet wide.
The vein, which, according to Mr..
Smith, is a true fissure, is dipping
into the mountain side at an angle
of about As degrees. 1t is encased
on both sides with heavy tale seams,
varying from two inches to two feet
in thickness, with the tale impreg-
mated with mineral. Twenty feet
below the vein what appears to be
another vein has just been broken
into. 1t is showing quartz carrying
~chalcopyrite. but had not been dc
veloped sufficiently to determine it's
size at the time the letter was writ
ten.
The ore in the lower vein is ap-
parently higher in copper values and
it is the opinion of the management
that it will develop into a good
grade of shipping ore.
The company has recently INSTALL
ed a complete equipment of mining
machinery and the development work
is now being done with power drills,
Better progress is being made and
Superintendent Smith reports thai
the district is showing considerable
activity, with many new locations be-
ing made.
The company is controlled by Utah
railroad men. L. A. Manthey of Hell

FIRST CAR MCCOY ORE
BRINGS SOB GOLD A TON

Returns from the initial carload OF
ore shipped last week, by Salt Lake
men from the Mccoy district, 50
miles south of Battle Mountain, New,
show $320.45 net dry weight. h
controls went $500 gold, .35 ounce
silver and 2 per cent copper. Judge
C.. B. Smith, manager of the Mccoy,
said that these returns equaled his
most sanguine expectations for mere
surface rock. He thinks when he
attains a little more depth he VIII
get into some values which Will
cause people to sit up and take no
tice. The ore shoot has not been
prospected more than 25 feet deep.
The pay streak has varied from six
inches to four feet.-Herald Repub-

is already down 20 feet and he is
wCrE'rg three shifts and maxine
SIS cot q day.
The shaft eventually will have a
depth of $50 feet to reach the ore
vein. Stations will be cut every 100
feet and crosscuts run to intercept
the orebody. The vein has a pitch
of As degrees. 1t is a contacr be,
tween blue lime and dolomite lime.
The shaft is being sunk in the hang

At the second level the shaft will
be rs feet from the vein and at the
third 5S feet. If the dip of the vein
continues as it is the survey shows
that the shaft should cut the vein
at $50 feet. 1t will take about three
months to sink this shaft.
The present output of the mine is
80 tons of lead ore per day. Whcr
the new shaft is completed the pro-

Writing from Phoebe to General
Manager F. Fl. Price, Chas. Gritsch,
superintendent of the Demijohn
Consolidated, says: 81 have between
Is and 20 tons of ore broken on the
145-foot level and it still looks good.
The ore is three feet wide and we
have followed it about 10 feet on
the 145 level. There is a little ore
on the 125 level and the ground
looks good and I think ore will come
in.
1--WE put off the first round of
holets on the 800 level yesterday. I
will have to build an ore bin a. l
must hoist the broken ore out of

STETT|N WOMEN FEED
DOGS WHIPPED CREAM

STETTIN, Germany, July 1O-The
discovery that Stettin women have
been feeding whipped cream to their
pet dogs while mothers have had a
hard time procuring a sufficient
quantity of unskimmed milk for the
babies, has aroused a storm of pro-
test.
Stettin recently attempted, unsuc-
cessfully, to have it's allowance
from the government for the support
of soldiers families increased. In OPP
position it was declared that Stet-
tin women we're too liberal pur-
chasers of cakes and whipped cream,
things that are not considered essen
tial to the maintenance of life and
health.
Some idea of a magistrates ooin-
ion of the tetin ome and their
dogs may be CLEANED from the fol-
lowing notice by him, recently pub
lished in the local papers,:
"Since the present shortage OF
milk leaves much to be desired in
the supply for wounded. sick and ba-
bies, every effort should be made to
avoid diminishing the existing sup
rlv. While on this account persons
actuated by feelings of intelligence
and duty have imposed upon Them
selves restrictions in their consump-
ton of cream and whipped ream
because an extraordinary amount or
rnskimmed milk is necessary for
them, it has unfortunately been no
ticed in the public stores that in
dividual female customers are order
ing special portions of whipped
cream to set before their dogs.
"Such a contemplate proceeding,
which makes of self-sacrifice and re-
nunciation a mockery, it is to be
hoped. the exception and not the
rule, and therefore does not warrant
official action. In the meantime
those who have not suspected the eX-
listing state of affairs must be shock
ed an COMPOUNDED that Stettin must
thus be exposed to shame"

Serious Trouble Results

Roman Yraquem shot Telefore Pr
taro, a saloonkeeper of Jack creek,
four times in a hotel at Elko recently.
The shooting is said to have been
the outgrowth of a gambling debt,
for which Yrauem gave Pitaro
checks that proved worthless. The
shooting followed Pitaro's demand
that the checks be made good. Fol
lowing the shooting Yraquem fled
to the Humboldt river and swan TO
the other side. A posse is search

SUNSHINE MILL
READY TO START
ACTIVE OPERATIONS WITH EN-
CELLENT SHOWINGS NEAR
WINNEMUCCA

Sunshine is pushing rapidly to the
front as a we'll established mine OPP
Grating gold, silver and lead produce
ing district. For thus coming to the
front with good results the district
is indebted to A.. H. Taylor, A. B.
c usins and w. S. O'Brien. Like
sentinels on the watch tower, these
three maintained guard and finally
determined the excellent pay ore
from which the new life for mining
on the west side of Grass valley has
its origin.
The mill or the Taylor property
is completed and will be started on
it's crushing and gold saving career
today, is the report from there. The
two carloads of ore recently shipped
from this property netted over ST.
900 to the car.
The Black interests, which have
taken over the Cousins property, are
getting in supplies and tools. The
first of August will see this work
for development and ore extraction
pushed.
Fred Braito and Joe Berra, who
are leasing on the Black Hole prop
erty, across the hill from Sunshine,
made another clean up of $4,000
profit from their workings. The
partners took in the worlds fair for
ten days and are back again break
ing ore and placing it on their dump
for later treatment.
Ryan and McHugh have an option
on what is known as the Dodd prop
erty, which adjoins the Taylor and
O'Brien property. The vein is we'll
defined and as prospected shows IS
inches of ore which samples all the
way from $500 to $17.40 a ton.
The values are mainly gold.
The district shows more life than
for eight years past. Prospecting
and digging out of ore from the Gem
mine is in progress. On most of the
workings outside of the actual pro-
ducers, are showings which fore
shadow large production.-Humboldt

WABASH PLUM
GOES CHEAPLY
RAILROAD SELLS FOR PRICE
FAR BELOW ITS ACTUAL
VALUE y

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 22.-The
first step in the plan of recognizing
the Wabash railroad, taking it out
of the hands of receivers, was car
ried into effect yesterday when the
purchasing committee of the Joint
reorganization committee of the
roads creditors bought the entire
1920, 100000 system with all its as.
sets and liabilities for $1S,000,000.
The Wabash was sold at public auc''
ton under foreclosure to satisfy a
$41,OOO,O 900 mortgage held by the
Equitable Trust company of New
York.
Robert Goelet and Henry Win
throp of New York, the purchasing
committee of the creditors, placed
the only bid offered for the road. AS
Judge Chester Krum, special master
of the sale, accepted the bid, he said
to the eastern financiers:
And now, gentlemen, may God
have mercy on your souls"
Immediately after the sale it was
announced that E. F. Kearney. pres
ident and one of the two receivers
of the road, would be retained as
president of the new Wabash rail-
road. The sale is subject to the
approval of the federal court and
will be passed upon probably with
in three weeks, after which the road
will pass to the purchasers.

WAR LITERATURE
TO Be GATHERED

LONDON, July II. - The Brit
ish museum plans to have the finest
collection in the world of the war lit
erature produced during the present
conflict. Not only English books,
but publications in French, Russian,
German and other European Ian
guages, are being obtained from
every available source
We shall not expect Dr. desire to
obtain every war book published"
explained the head of the library,
for many OF them are of course value
less, and we exercise the same dis
elimination in purchasing a book
about the war as WI do in buying
other works. We want all the cream
of the worlds literature, but we
want none of the trash. OF foreign
war books generally we are taking
about three out of a dozen. We
have already secured q fairly good
collection of what has been publish
ed in Germany and Austria since the
beginning of operations.
I'VE have not added any experts
in military literature to u staff.
We have our own experts, who de-
vote their energies each to the liter
allure of a particular nation. 1t is
4or them to deal with the war books
of the nation concerned.
Germany seems to be very prone
to religious works on the war. We
have quite a number of German theo-
logical war books, although we have
received no German books for aDo'-
ten weeks. We shall have to COM
plete our collections of German
works after the war, although in the
meantime we shall pick up what we
car as opportunity Offers"
The British museums library is
admittedly the greatest and most
cosmopolitan in the world. 1t has
the best French library outside of
brary outside of Russia. It's collec-
ton of Italian literature is unex-
celled except for that in the Vatican.
So far as French literature is con-
cerned, it has books which do not ex-
list even in France, owing to the
revolution and the wars of 1S4S and
1870. Refugees of the French revo-
%lutionary period brought many valua-
BILE works to the great English Ii
brary.
Have the Belgian refugees of the
present era brought many gifts to
the museum" the director was
asked.
"A few" he replied, "but %unfortu-
nately their departure was generally
so hurried that they had little oppor-
tunity to bring such things with
them"
The staff of the museum mas been
depleted about 80 per cent by en-
listments. Several of the official
staff are officers in the new armies,
while the library and museum at
PENDANTS are serving as noncommis-
stoned officers or in the ranks. The
work of those who remain is partly
lightened by the fact that the num-
er OF visitors and readers has fallen
Off nearly so per cent during the
past year.

DESIRE MILITARY
SERVICE TRAINING

LEYDEN, Netherlands, July TO-
Theological students at Leyden n
versity, the most ancient seat OF
learning in Hollond, object to their
omission from the suggested scheme
of exercising all the manhood OF the
Dutch nation as a precautionary
measure in case the lowlands should
be called upon to defend their ter
ritory. An address from these
students recently called the atten-
ton of the second chamber of the
Dutch parliament to this feeling
among them. Since then the news
papers have printed dozens Of letters
from clergymen of various oenomi-
nations expressing similar views
and declaring that it would be cast
ing a slur on them il they were to
continue to be released by law from
fulfilling their duties as patriotic
citizens at a time when their coun-
try needed them.
The Dutch theological students
were probably moved to make their
appeal for incorporation in the army
by the reports of the activities OF
priests and pastors now serving with
the various armies engaged IN the
world war. In France, for instance,
there are over 10000 Catholic clergy
men, including several bishops, as
we'll as many protestant minister's
and Jewish rabbis, serving in the
ronlyc &c anfiun Sn1HinrS hnSldpc q
large number engaged as %chaplains
and Red Cross workels. In Italy
$4,000 priests are in the ranks; in
Germany numbers OF clergymen
have taken service; while in h
British isles hundreds of clergymen
have voluntarily enlisted in the new
armies of Lord Kitchener and re-
Gently a decision was reached by the
church of England authorities not to
ordain during the war n clerical
students of military age who were
physically fit and of the prescribed
age for military service.
Students of Leyden have ample
precedents for their military ardOr in
the history of their old university
town. The university itself was
founded in 1875 as a reward for the
courage and military skill of the citi-
zens in defending the town against
the Spaniards. The students also
have always before their eyes the
Latin inscription over the 1858 gate
leading to the twelfth century castle
and which says II fight for the
Fatherland." The adventurous
spirit of the old PPuritans who lived
in the town is immortalized by the
memorial stone on the front of the
house occupied by the Rev. John
Robinson, the pastor of the English
pilgrim fathers, which records the
fact that ION this spot lived, taught
and died Robinson-1611-1625."
The question of calling upon minis
tiers to perform military duties
brought into public discussion by the
petition of the Leyden students has
evoked the expression CT widely di-
versent views. Some clergymen ar
que they would be of more service
in their parishes in case of a general
call to arms, as there they could give
advice and comfort 10 the people
while the modified soldiers were
separated from their families, where
as in the ranks each clergyman
would be simply anotEe-' man with a
rifle
