Antelope Springs on the south and
Buffalo mountain on the west. The
organizers, representing over 100
claims, were as follows. G.. D. Dor

Fly DISTRICT BEGINS
TO TAKE ON NEW LIFE

No news has as yet emanated from
the east in regard to the plans of
the Copper Mines company, but it is
hoped and believed that the man.
agement will soon see it's way
clear to resume operations. A con-
siderable tonnage of ore is now be-
ing produced from the Ora claim of
the Giroux company, controlled by
the Copper Mines company through
a working agreement entered into
With the Nevada Consolidated COM
pany some two years ago.
AS a whole the outlook for the
Ely district is now very bright, but
there are still plenty of idle men
here, who are being given the first
opportunity for employment by the
Nevada Con. Laborers, mechanics
and miners should not be induced to
come in here expecting to find en-
rlovment for they would surely meet
with disappointment.-Ely Record.

HARRISON AND KIRK BOTH CON-
FTDENT OF RESULT OF
MILL

With but few days remaining be-
fore Kid Harrison and Sailor Kirk
climb into the ring for their ten
round contest Monday evening at the
Hippodrome theater, both of the
principals went through their hard
est spell of the training siege yes
terday and today at their respective
camps. OF the two men, Kirk I'M

Guilty in making the stipulated
weight, and it is on this score that
Harrison bases his claim that he will
have no difficulty in taking care of
the mariner. Harrison appears to
be in good shape and the same can
be said for Kirk. The latter insists
that he can take off several pounds,
enough to scale in at the correct
weight, and still be strong.
Harrison, who is usually nom
co-lmittal on his fights, says that he
is going to start tearing in at the

Harrison, due to his remarkable
powers of taking punishment, which
has been demonstrated to the local

RESUME Of Weeks OPERATIONS
IN Mines Of COMST0CK LODE

Ting tank on the winze station.
Ground has also been cut out on the
north end of the station for the two
switches for the turbine pumps.
The Yellow Jacket company re-
ceived S55 tons of ore at the mill,
of which sol IONS came from the
1900 level of the mine and 554 tons
from the surface dump. One bar of
lullion was shipped to the smelter.
One hundred and seventy tons of ore
were sent to the glory hole from the
shaft. In the mine repairs were
made to the incline and shaft and the
water is being held at a point 90
feet below the 1900 station and the
stump %cleanout. On the 400 level
water boxes were put in for drain
age purposes. On the 1900 level east
crosscut No. 2 was advanced to the
S5-foot point and 1922 cars of ore
saved from stope No. 2 in the north
drift. A portion of stope No. 1 was
s..ripped of material.
Inc BeIcner on the loOO
level. extended south drift No. 1 to
the 7O-foot point and in the joint
Crown Point-Belcher incline both
compartmets were cleaned out for
seven feet and full sets of timbers
used for approach to the 1900 sta
ton. The south compartment of
the incline is timbered and in shape
COR TIA feet below the 400 level.
No work was performed in Crown
Point.
The Caledonia company on the

on the vein for IL feet; total length
1T feet. The advance of the drift
was made all in quartz, conditions
remaining favorable on this level.
On the 1900 level of the Overman
mine, the raise from the east cross
cut, 200 feet north of the south

IRRIGATION IN NEVADA
FROM GROUND WATER

Certain valleys of southeastern Ne
vada contain a large supply Of
ground water, and a part of this wa
ter can be economically developed
for irrigation, according to a report
just issued by the United States geo.
logical survey. The localities at
which ground water a be found
are indicated and the best methods
of recovering the underground water
at each locality are described. The
report contains also an interesting
account of the geology of the region
and shows that at one time this des-
art country contained a large river
and seven large lakes all of which
ale now absolutely dry. The ancient
stream and lakes are described and
shown on maps for the first time
in this report. One of the most val
liable features of the report is a
guide to watering places on routes
Of travel, supplemented by a map
showing roads and watering places
and a table giving the distances be-
tween watering places.

CLOVER MINING COMPANY
is SHIPPING REGULARLY

Since the newly organized Glover
Mining company took over the Polar
Star property near Wells on a bond
and lease it has shipped put five car
loads of ore, or $50 tons, and is O.
loading the sixth at Tobar station,
Is miles distant. This is the story
which c. S. Woodward brought in
from Nevada yesterday. He says the
last car sampled 80 per cent zinc.
With the exception of the one mixed
lcad-zinc carload all the ore has been
a zinc carbonate.
The Glover property is a big sur
face overflow of ore which has been
proven to a depth of GO feet. Mr..
Woodward said yesterday that they
have prospected the bed by surface
holes for 600 feet. Some Of the
richest streaks sample AIS per CEN
zinc, but the whole extensive depos-
it as far as prOspected ranges from
10 to 40 per cent and the better
grades average 80 per cent. The de-
post is so spread out that trucks
can drive owe the whole thing. A
vein of three feet of lead ore has
been opened. 1t runs parallel to the
zinc deposits. About half a mile to
the west of the Glover an extension
Of this deposit has been discovered.
1T is 50x150 feet and surface sam
pies averaged 25 per cent zinc.
A townsite will probably be laid
off at once at the Glover. There is
ample water to be had a mile or two
distant.-Herald Republican.

What became of that movement to

Banks often take some of their

A country bank about a year ago in

having found that baled paper de-

to become slovenly in all things.
Furthermore small leaks do not re-

of faucets ear small passages

is a new faucet with the accompany

According to the United States de-

The steps taken by the warning
nations of Europe to preserve the
food supply for their people is a big
object lesson in the possibilities of
more thrifty living in this respect,
yer in lands that are at peace.
1t is said that the kaiser and kali
serin are cutting down the expense
OF the imperial household and teach
ing the German people a lesson in
~frugality. The standard of meals at
court appears to be no higher than
that of many private families in Ber-
lin. Both at the front and in the
palace in Berlin the kaiser lives with
Spartan simplicity. A favorite dish
is thick soup. containing chopped
meat. The kaiserin visits the kitch-
en- every day, giving orders and sup
e~rintending the cooking. "One al
not live sumptuously while the brave
soldiers are making the greatest
sacrifice" she is reported to have
said.
While across the water many men,
women and children are on the verge
of starvation, and in our own
try there are many needy ones, the
statement is made that the average
American family wastes enough food
in one week to keep a Belgian or a
Pole alive and in health for two
weeks.
What will open the yes of many
of our housekeepers to their extrav-
agance? Shall this lesson of the
great war go unlearned? Do not
these housekeepers know thai waste
is their badge of incompetency? The

ing. Stale bread, cake, left overs Of
meats, potatoes and other vegeta-
bles, cold cereals. m%acaronia, etc,

cutie as appetizing as their original
ones. So say successful housekeep-
ers at any rate. Husbands have not

"The danger of being shot Is not
great. The trail of a bullet Is
very small; the space around you,
as compared with the trail of a
bullet is as one million to one. So
the chances of being hit are in
| that same proportion.
But il didn't work out with
Chapman. He was hit the very
first day.
The trenches are an under
ground city filled with unspeak-
ably dirty citizens. They are in
a tangle of sunken streets. The
| houses are holes in the earth.
The streets, in my district, con-
verged i'm one place which the
Americans called "Longacre
Square" into very exclusive
tangle where all the officers lived.
There are street signs, too, tell
ing how to reach this or that off,

and then there are danger signs
telling that passerby to keep his
head low.
There were three Americans in
my machine-gun squad of 16 men,
Eugene Jacobs, who still owns q
butcher shop in Pawtucket. r. l.;
Victor Chapman of New York, and
myself, and on Thanksgiving day
we arranged a feast in our hut.
Jose Amer, an Argentine, heard
that we had picked up some stray
| chickens and had shot goose
| and that Jacobs was cooking them
for some sort of banquet, and he
invited himself.
The other IL men In the squad
didn't know what Thanksgiving
day was, but they knew chicken
when they smelled it, so we invit-
ed them all. The chicken was
served out of a magnificent old
china bowl which we had found In
the deserted house of the mayor
of a small town near by. Chap
man, who knows antiques when
he sees them, said the bowl was
at least 300 years old and that
! he was going to take 1t home with
him when he left the trenches.
- But one day when we permit
ted five infantry men of newly
arrived division to sleep in our
thut, a shell struck the roof,
broke the bowl and killed five.
We left the men and bowl bur-
led in the caved-in hut and built
