REBEL
RAIDER IS DEAD
MANY DARING EXPLOITS DUR
ING CIVIL WAR

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 80
Colonel John Mosby, the most ia
nous Confederate raider during the
civil war, died here today.
Colonel Mosby dared ueatn over
so years ago when at the head Of
a band of a few hundred Confed-
crate raiders he rode up and down
the Shenandoah valley, capturing
~outposts, destroying supply trains
and cutting off e of communi-
cation. 1t has been estimated that
he often n~eutralized the force Of
over 5000 Federals in the valley.
Born in Powhattan county, Vir-
ginia, Dec. 6, 1888 and graduated
from the University of Virginia II
1852, he was practicing law in
Bristol, Va, when the war broke
out and he began his career in the
Confederate army. He proved his
daring with such effect that he be-
came a scout for General j. e. B.
Stuart and led the celebrated raid
around McClellan's army on the
Chickahominy. In Richmond a year
later he recruited an Independent
cavalry troop which became ia
nous as Mosby's Partisan Rangers.
They became night riders and the
terror of the Federal troops.
Mosby's most brilliant exploit was
the capture of General Stoughton.
On a March night in 1868 he, with
80 followers, rode through the
Federal army to Fairfax courthouse,
only Is miles from Washington.
where General Stoughton was
asleep. Although surrounded by IN
army said to have been 1900
strong, the rangers calmly kidnapped
the general, his staff and many SEN
tries, and turned them over to
the Confederate authorities at Gull
pepper without having lost a man.
General Grant once later saved
Colonel Mosby from hanging, and
two foes of the battlefield be-
came staunch friends. Mosby stump

paign.

declared, lis this: 1t is better tc

PROMOTING PUBLIC
HEALTH CAMPAIGN
ORGANIZATION TO COMBAT TIE
SPREAD OF COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES

Charles M. DeForest, who is the
sales manager of the Red Cross
Christmas seals, has been in
Goldfield this week representing
also the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
~culosis. His headquarters are III
New York City.
Mr.. DeForest is at present en-
gagged in perfecting an organization
in Nevada for a public health cam
paign, involving chiefly the promo
ton of publicity calculated to ar
rest the spread Of contagious or
communicable diseases, not merely
tuberculosis but typhoid and other
diseases. An organization meeting
will be held at Reno next Wednes-
day, May 81. DR.. w. w. Hood, DR..
r. H. Mullin, state bacteriologist,
Mrs. F. M. Lee and Mr.. and Mrs.
John M. Fulton of Reno have been
enlisted in the work at that point
and at Carson the organization will
include state health officer S. F. Lee,
Mrs. Frank Norcross and Professor
and Mrs. John e. Bray.
Judge J.. Emmat Walsh, w. d.
Forster and DR.. D.. A. Turner of
Goldfiald have consented to act
as directors representing this
county or section.
Mr.. DeForest left yesterday for
Tonopah with the object of secur-
ing cooperation from that point,
and other principal points in the
state will also be visited with a
like object.
While the movement is not ti-
rectly a part of the Red Cross
work, yet it is receiving the en-
dorsement and aid from that
source, a part of the de-
rived from the sale Of Red Cross
stamps being set aside for the pur-
poses of the organization which
MIR. DeForest is now promoting in
this state.

LAGRAvE
FEATURE OF CARD
VETERAN FIGHTER WILL CLASH
WITH BOZ GRAHAM MON
DAY NIGHT

Middleweights will be the main
attraction of the Goldfield Athlet-
iC clubs x boxing show, which
is to be staged next Monday night,
June 5, in the clubs pavilion. Gus
Rainier, matchmaker for the club
states that all the boxers on the
card, with the exception of Duffy
and Wall, have posted forfeits and
will surely appear.
Bob Graham will box 10 rounds
with Antoine LaGrave in the main
event of the evening. LaGrave is
an unknown quantity here but has
a record in the fighting game long
and good enough to entitle him to
a main event in any city in the
west. When a lightweight, he met
and held his W with men of the
ca,jber Of Battling Nelson, Ad
Wolgast and Willie Richie, and
when fighting as a middleweight
met such topnotchers at Joe Chip,
Billy Murray, Tom Nikola and John
ny S%udenberg, and gained decisions
over them. He has been out of the
game for some time but is work
ing hard in order to get back in
trim.
In meeting Graham, he is tack
ling a man who has been in many
a hard battle and who can stand
the gaff. From their recent ex-
change of newspaper courtesies,
there is little love lost between
the two and the fans will prob
ably see some real fighting when
they clash.
Bert Williams, who has made
several appearances in the local
ring. and who C laims Tonopah as
his home town. is to meet Dick
Trounce of Goldfield in the semi
windup. Trounce is known as the
iron man of the Goldfield ring and
carries a punch that is liable TO
stop his clever opponent before
thu end of the fight.
Little Tommy Bronco, whom
Rainier brought here from San
Francisco to defeat Chalky Miller,
is to box Pete Sullivan, who donned
the biffsacks with Chalky here
about a month ago and put up a
good fight for a boy who had not
trained. This may develop into one
of the hottest events on the pro-
gram.

IRISH TOWN ON
LINE IN FRANCE
MEN FIGHTING GERMANS HAVE
NO SYMPATHY WITH THE
SIM FEINERS
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS,

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, In
France, May 10.-There is a town
at the British front which is the
center of an Irish world. 1t is
the headquarters of the sixteenth
or Irish division. Irish voices are
heard from the doorways of the
houses. Flower pots of shamrock
are on the mess tables of officers
who gather for their meals in the
modest sitting room of the local
grocer or butcher where they are
billeted.
In his office a general who is
Irish to the finger tips talks about
his troops who were fighting hard
against the Germans during the
Dublin riots. If he is asked IL
there are any Sim Feiners among
them he will refer the inquirer to
the men themselves. They en-
listed in the Irish new army bat
talions in face of the influence
which produced Sim Feinism.
Sturdy middle aged men with
strips of color won in campaigns
in India and South Africa while
serving with regular Irish regi-
ments. some still sergeants, some
promoted to commissions, have
been the drill masters of vigorous
youth from Mayo or Kilkenny or
Glare or Cork. But most Of the
officers in common with most of
their men had never been in uai-
form when the war began.

I'VE wanted to draft the Irish
men who were in English and
Scotch battalions into ours so we
should have all the Irish at the
front under one command" said
the general, ''but we could not
make the arrangement. The other
commanders would not part with
their Irishmen. British battalions
like to have a sprinkling of Irish
among their numbers. My men
have had every test of trench

good at sticking as in a charge.
They have stuck like veterans. Ma

MILL
BUILT NEAR ELY
ING TUNGSTEN ORE IN EAST y
ERN NEVADA

=, ELY, New, May 25.-That
there is more than one way Of put
ting up a mill is being illustrated
by the Consolidated Tungsten
company in it's operations on VIII
liams creek on the west slope Of
the Snake range. Out on the hill
side, in the open air, a v
lent distance above the bed of the
creek there is being assembled one
of modern times. A bin of large
capacity has been constructed Of
logs, which represents the most
there is in sight in the way Of con-
struction.
At the head of this bin a crush
er has been installed into which
ore will be fed before entering the
bin. Below the bin is a set OF
five stamps placed on a founda-
ton consisting of W big logs
each more than three feet In
diameter and seven feet in length,
set solidly into the ground. making
a foundation which will stand up
well under the pounding of the
stamps.
From the stamps the ore will be
fed to a Whitley table and turned
into high grade concentrates. A
for running the mill.
Ore will be delivered from the
mine workings to the mill by pack
train and unloaded at the head Of
the bin convenient to the crusher.
In general appearance this plant
might easily remind one Of an
old time moonshine still out in the
Roanoke mountains, for it is equal
ly as primitive at it's present stage.
But is expected to give as salts
centrates as though it were en-
closed in an expensive building
when the wheels begin to turn.
The directors of the company have
figured that it was just as wise to
start their mill in this way and
run it throughout the good wealth
er before going to the expense Of
enclosing it, which can easily be
done at any time.
Adjacent to the mill a good
building has been constructed in
which to store the concentrates,
and this is about the only signs
of lumber and nails to be seen
on the place.
At the present time develop-l
ment is in progress at severalV
points on the Big Four vein with
in 1900 feet of the mill, and on
the Gem vein on the opposite side
of Williams creek an adit tunnel
is being driven on from three to
four feet of good ore. These will
be the principal sources Of ore
that will be worked for some time
to come as there is assurance that
large bodies will be mined from
here.
The main camp of the.
including boarding house, bunk
house, etc, is situated I'D the
creek about half a mile above the
mill n is n of the most ideal
camp sites along the entire Snake
range, with an abundance of wa
ter and pine and Quaking aspen
timber all around.

URGES CREATION OF
RECREATION CENTER
REV. J. F. EDEN, JR., SAYS HIS
PLAN is MORE FEASIBLE
THAN A Y. M. c. A.

Editor Dawson News: / read an
appeal in your issue of August End
from J. A. Lowrey, Jr., for J. M.
C. A. for Dawson, and since / have
given much earnest thought, advo-
cacy and study to some phases of the
need for wholesome environment and
recreative measures / feel constrain-
ed to address the people of Dawson,
although stranger to most of them.
Mr.. Lowrey earnestly appeals to
Dawson to erect Y M. C. A., and
gives unanswerable reasons why such
should be done. Doubtless many
there think it out of the question to
raise the 100000 necessary for such
an institution, with its rooms for
many boarders, etc. In lieu thereof
III herewith submit feasible and tried
I plans and ideas that are steadily
growing in favor and use over the ma
ton. Dawson and every other town
needs something more composite and
more widely disable than Y. M. C..
A.; that thing is variously called a
civic, or community, or municipal
recreation center, and would be for
both. sexes and all ages, as will be
shown later in this article. To erect
such a composite building would re-
quire some $4,000 to $4,000, and
that amount could be secured by
either voting bonds for the entire
sum or else for half of it, and OBJ
! tanning public subscriptions for the
other half. If possible have the build
ing in close proximity to your Car
negie ary-adjoining it would be
we'll for obvious reasons. Included IN
this "Civic Recreation Center" should
be a natatorium, shower baths, gym
nasium, cue raque and Switchboard
and chess and checker tables, social
and uplift club rooms, kitchen, read
ING and rest rooms and moderate
sized auditorium for lectures, lyceum
and motion picture machine for edu-
cational and religious films. This
building should be open to all ages
and both sexes; and twice each week
the gym, natatorium and shower
baths should be exclusively for wo-
men and girls. A board of managers
should be selected from the churches,
w. C. T. u, civic league, etc., and all
those organizations along with the
secret orders should help furnish and
beautify the rooms; and all of them
and the Sunday schools, B. Y. P. u,
Epworth League and Christian En-
deavor have their receptions, socials
and recreation there. A physical in
structor could readily be paid mod
est salary and also teach physical in
struction at the school. All in all,
such building could with its many
ramifcations be a mighty benefit,
blessing and investment for Dawson.
Your citizens should see to its
Ispeedy naturalization, and for time
and eternity it is far more important
than paving and electric lights and
