NOT TIE MAIN Issnr.

GERAiANf's concessions in the Frye case are grat-
flying. In nutshell they are that American
ships which conditional contraband shall not be
destroyed but that they shall be permitted TO proceed
on their way unless German warships encountering
them be in position to take them into German ports
as prizes of war
That is all right far American ships and con-
ditiona contraband affected. What Americans
want however, is positive assurance that American
neutrals and noncombaants who are aboard non-eom-
ba'ant ships of Great Britain France Russia and Italy
shall not be made the victims Of heinous German sub
marine policy
There can be no restoration OF the old-time goodwill
between this country and Germany until such assur-
anees have been received and made good by German
practice The Lusania and the Arabic submarine
murders are the ones that sustain the indignation of
americans Germany must make reparation for them

the commission Of such crimes against American citi

The Balkan Storm Center

Big events are impending in south
eastern Europe. with COnstantinople
as the storm centre. Experience has
shown that mobilization is a sure fore
runner of war, and Bulgaria's mobiliz.
alton is universally regarded as a sig
nal to Greece and Roumania to pre-
pare for a struggle. The situation is
such as to convince military and dip
lomatic observers that the war fires
will be lighted all along the Aegean
Adriatic, Black and Mediterranean
seas, and that the new hostilities will
not merely remake the map of the
Balkans, but may determine the
course Of the great European war

the struggle between Germany, Aus

ments by sea from the allies, and
Roumania's army is said 10 be the
best equipped and best drilled force
in the Balkans.
Within the next day or two, from
present prospects, the fighting will
begin. Presumably Great Britain and
France have taken steps to cooper
ate with Greece, although their sup
ply of men does not appear to be
formidable. The Gallipoli operations
have taxed them severely. Italy and
Greece, having conflicting interests
along the Adriatic, do not appear to
have reached an agreement to coop
crate in the general operations that
are imminent The best diplomacy of
the allies is likely to be tested in
avoiding a clash between Italy and
Greece. Theoretically they ought to
be fighting wholeheartedly side by
side against the Turk. but actually
they are plotting against each other
for possessions of parts Of Albania.

OF YELLOW PINE DISTRICT

with a are mineral that is known
by the rather unwieldy name OF
plunlhOrjarOsite; it is a hydrOus sui
phato Of iron and lead. The mineral
is locally known as greenish tale,
and the name accurately describes it's
main physical properties; pockets o:
the pure mineral carry 100 ounces
or more of platinum and palladium
and several hundred ounces of gold
to the ton. This exceeding richness
points to a concentration of the pre-
cious metals in the Oxidized ore by
surface solutions, so that in depth
the pockets of extremely high grade
ore. such as are now being extracted
will give place to ore of moderate
grade.

JIMMY RUMSEY
SHOOTS SELF
AFTER QUARREL WITH SWEET
HEART ATTEMPTS TO TAKE
OWN LIFE

Jimmy Rumsey, eighteen years of
age, we'll known in Goldfield. where
he lived until two years ago, when
he left to accept the position of night
clerk at the Mizpah hotel, Tonopah,
shot and probably fatally wounded
himself shortly after 3 o'clock this
with his sweetheart, a girl of his
own age named Campbell.
In company with other young peo-
pie. Jimmy and the girl attended a
ball at the miners union hall last
night and during the dance the girl
gave Jimmy cause to be jealous, &C
cording to friends of the youth who
are well acquainted with the situa-
tion. Jimmy, it is said, remonstrat-
ed with his sweetheart over her con-
duct and angry words ensued. After
taking her home at the conclusion
of the dance. Jimmy hurried into
the lobby of the Mizpah hotel. where
Manager Marks. Deputy Sheriff Billy
Walker and several guests were as
sembled. and going behind the desk
secured a SO caliber revolver UNI
noticed by those present. Speaking
to Manager Marks he said: Good
bye. I'm going to finish it ALL" He
then walked to a small room in the
rear of the hotel. and a moment
later a shot was heard. The now
startled men rushed to the room and
found the youth lying on the floor
with the smoking revolver clasped
in his outstretched hand. A hurry
call was sent in and the lad was
rushed to the mine operators hos
pital, where it was found that the
bullet had entered his stomach,
four inches below the heart, and had
ranged upward, lodging in his back,
from where it was later removed.
According to the physicians he has a
slight chance of pulling through, as
the bullet. which ordinarily would
have resulted in sure death, miracu-
lousy passed through his body with
out severing any intestines, giving
him a fighting chance.
Only last week Jimmy came over
from Tonopah to testify in a suit
for damages and was here several
days, during which time he renew
ed his many acq~uaintances, for his
sunny disposition and attracted a
great many friends. 1t was while
Rumsey was here ten days ago that
the news of Ed Heidenfelt's tragic
death was received and Jimmy is
said to have remarked: "What
foolish things a fellow will do over
a girl Heidenfelt. the greater
part Of whose life was spent in
Goldfield, killed himself because
the laws of California made it i'm
possible for him to marry a cousin,
a young widow. Heidenfelt was
well known to Rumsey.

Platinum and it's closely allied
metals palladium, iridium and 9TH
ers are among the few miner pro-
ducts for which the United States is
dependent on foreign countries.
Platinum is indispensable to the
chemist, and in recent years il a
also come into vogue in the manu-
facture of jewelry. Extensively used
for chains and for the setting OF dia-
monds, besides being more resistant
than silver and harder than gold,
sets off the diamonds more effect
lively. Palladium resembles platl-
mum but has a higher luster, like
that OF silver and is used as an alloy
with platinum to give this metal in
creased %brilliance and for other tech
meal purposes. TIL demand for pal
ladium is considerably greater than
the supply and in the last few years
the Price of platinum and palladium
has been double that of gold.
It is therefore of interest to learn
that platinum and palladium have
been found in ores of the Yellow
Pine mining district, in Clark coun-
ty. New. The principal find was made
at the Boss mine, which is described
in bulletin 62O-A, recently issued
by the United States geological sur
vey. The ore deposit on the BOSS
claim was discovered some 80 years
ago, having been located for cop
per. the presence of which is plain
ly indicated by chrysocolla and 9th
err oxidized copper minerals. In the
COS a teaching plant was built at
G~oodsprings, IL miles from the mine
and an attempt was made to treat
the oxidiZed copper ore, but the pro-
cess proved a failure. Not until re-
Gently was the gold and platinum
content of the ore recognized. The
failure to recognize or at least fully
to appreciate. the gold bearing char
acter of the ore seems to have been
due to the fact that much of the gold
is very finely divided and can not
be obtained by panning, and also
to the fact that some of the extraor-
dirary rich material when panned
yields black residue hat might cas-
ily be and probably was thrown
away as worthless black sand. Sys-
tematic sampling of the deposit ear
" in 1914 led to full recognition that
geld is present in valuable amount,
and it was during the course of this
samnl;Eg that the platinum content
of the ore was discovered.
The deposit consits of a mass OF
fine grained quartz inclosed in do'o-
mites of carboniferous age. The pre-
cious metals are especially associated
