DEATH|SA
BLOW TO
ALLIES
British War Minister Had
Remarkable Record
as Army Officer

OF several things that entitlo
Earl Kitchener to a place in
world history, the most notable is
that he organized the largest vol
unteer army the world has ever
seen, in the greatest wal of all
times.
Within a year from the sudden
outbreak of the European war in
August, 1914, the ranks of British
fighting men were quadrupled by
an increase from less than 1,000.-
600 to 100000.
By mere luck Kitchener hap
prned to be in England on one
of his comparatively rare visits that
he had paid London during his
long career abroad, when the Eu-
ropean war broke out. He had
just come home from service as
British agent in Egypt, had az
cepted an earldom from King
George, and was being talked OF
as viceroy of India. Within a
few hours after England's declar-
alton of war, Kitchener was ap-
pointed secretary Of state for war
and Immediately took full charge
at the war office where he worked
day and night to overcome the han
dicap which the central powers
had over England in the matter of
fighting strength.
He grimly told the British oeo-
pie they had a bigger war on their
hands than they realized and one
that might last longer than they
expected, but it was to be faced
with entire confidence and he,
unsmiling, almost like a dehuman-
lied machine, set about to maze
moved into Whitehall street when
he made numerous changes in the
personnel of the war office, which
was said to be honeycOmbe
with social and political favoritism.
Kitchener was the object of no
little criticism. There was much
grumbling because of the strict
censorship he imposed on newspa-
pers and his utter disregard for
war correspondents. Notwithstand-
ing this the British newspapers
gave him active support prior to
May 1915. During the winter
months the war secretary had an
nounced the big drive would begin
about the first of May. The battle
of Neuve Chapelle occurred in
May, and England believed this was
the beginning of the big drive.
Shortly afterward reports reached
England that the drive had halt

BEGIN NEW WORK IN
PIONEER EXTENSION
SOUTHERN END OF JOLLY JANE
CLAIM WILL BE EX-
PLORED

Development work has been
started at a new point on the
property of the Pioneer Extension
Mining company, at Pioneer, near
the southern extremity of the Jol-
ly Jane claim and near what is
known as the Sprague shaft, which
was sunk by Charles S. Sprague of
Goldfield and associates during the
Pioneer boom. Superintendent f.
S. Giles of the Pioneer Extension
reports hat he is making
ments to install a hoist and deveI-
op the southern part of the prop
erty from this shaft which is 100
feet deep.
The vein exposed at this point
is of excellent character and good
assays are said to have been OBJ
tanned in surface trenching here.
As soon as a hoist and other min
ing accessories shall have been
installed 1T is the intention Of the
management to cross-cut to and
through the vein and to extend a
drift north on the vein, toward a
point where considerable degree of
fault is apparent at the surface.
Work is progressing farther north
on the property and is in a for
nation that is regarded as decid-
edly encouraging.
