TUNGSTEN FIND
EXC|TFS ELY|TES
STAMPEDE OF LOCATORS FOL-
LOWS ASSAY OF RICH ORR
FROM EAST SIDE OF STEPTOK
VALLEY.

A sample of ferberite ore, brought
to the White Pine News last Sunday
evening by R. w. Vevia resulted in =
tungston excitement quite unexpect-
ed, as the ore came from a local
ity almost within the boundaries OF
Ely, from the Schell creek range to
be exact, or about Is miles to the
east of East Ely. The representative
of the News to whom the sample was
given at once had the mineral assay
ed, the sample showing 2.61 In
tungstic acid.
Messrs. Vevia and d. F. Paine
both of East Ely, have been quietly
prospecting for some time in the
Schell creek country and last week
became satisfied they had come across
good thing in the tungsten line
Following a clue that indicated tungB,
ten bearing rock in the hills east Of
East Ely, the prospecting led to ~
abandoned shaft, and here, both In
the bottom of the shaft and on the
dump, was find of ferberite.
Specimens brought in indicate that
the ore carries a good percentage of
tungston The finders of this latest
location in the world of tungsten
prospects, kept their knowledge un-
der their hats until they had secured
their locations. The lead appears to
be in evidence for several miles. and
later publicity deduces that some
good mines are likely to be devel-
oped.
News of the strike became gener-
ally known following the assayer's
report of the sample turned over to
the News, and by Monday afternoon
a noise had become manifest that had
all the sounds of boom, and there
was an exodus of citizens from Ely
and East Ely to the new location.
Everything in the way of conveyance
was pressed into service and those
who couldn't connect with automo-
biles, motor cycles, horses or don
keys. started on foot. About the first
to arrive was Henry Fulmer the
Steptoe grocery managertand he COP
ped about Is locations while the
other fellows were getting started
His claims adjoin those of the Viva
Paine combination. Closely follow
ing Mr.. Fulmer claims were grabbed
by Lane Pearl, Roy Ives, Vim. Mul-
vihill and others.
Everyone hopes the find is a real
one of permanent prospects, as 1t
is easy to see what it all would mean
to the Elys. There seems no reasos
to believe that this particular lead is
confined to any small area, but that
the entire range may prove rich in
the coveted metal. In the early days
tungsten was not recognized as of
any Importance and the old-time
prospectors who failed to find gold
or silver passed on, leaving for future
prospectors the less aristocratic ores
that are now bringing fortunes to
those finding them.

to have a large basement with plenty
of head room, SO that any kind of a
heating plant can be installed that
suits the individual ideas of the own
er. The basement can be made very
useful because of the light that is
available from the large windows that
can be placed in the foundation. A
work bench, laundry, and various
other features of good basement de-
sign can be readily secured. A good
basement with concrete walls also
keeps the house at a more uniform
temperature. A house of this shape
can often be kept warm with the reg
listers or radiators turned off on the
second floor, part of the day, during
the coldest weather. This is due to
tie compact character of the design.
The floor plans show very attrac-
tive and cozy arrangement. A par
ticular feature of the first floor is the
position of the fireplace, which is To-
Gated in the wall between the living
room and the dining room. 1t thus oc-
cupies very little space and, as it
eliminates the necessity of construct
ing one wall, it cuts the cost Of con-
struction, which is in keeping with
the general economical plan after
which this house is built. Small cased

Profitable Idea. .

Shortly after the war started a New
Jersey man with active brains but no
capital went to prominent cannery
and suggested that it put out special
brand of beef stew suitable for the al
lied soldiers in the field. He suggest
ed further that with the aid of a par
tition in the can it might be feasible
to add piece of pumpkin pie and call
the mess a square meal. The gener-
al manager of the cannery said it was
a good idea, but unfortunately, beef
stew and pumpkin pies were not great
successes when packed in tins. This
week announcement was made that
the allies had contracted for an order
of $71 100000 worth of beef stew. Ap-
parently the idea, with the elimination
of the pie, has become feasible after
all. The New Jersey man, of course.
will not share in the war profits. New

no question that the great body of the

decorative features that make this
house very distinctive and original
For instance, the method of con-
strscting the bay windows at the two
front corners of the house on the sec
ond floor, with their attractive
brackets, is a most pleasing and deco
rative method of finishing these cor

each of these bays and also over the
dormer facing the front of the house.
The combination OF these with the
larger hip roof covering the house

generally more satisfactory to place

more private and will consequently
be used more than it will if placed
in the front, where everyone on the
street can see into it. Five windows
are placed along the wall of the din

as bright and sunny as the sun porch.

Dire Need for Protection.

The people of this country are con-
vinced now that the Democrats are
incapable. Particularly are the farm
ers determined that they shall not be
fooled again. The advocacy of a nom
partisan tariff commission to revise
the tariff, coming late as a Demo
cratic tariff doctrine, will fool the peo-
pie. 1t is not Democratic commits
sion for a protective tariff that the
president wants, but tariff commits
sion to revise the tariff for revenue
purposes only, and this is not Repub-
lican idea by any means. We shall
have very urgent need of a protective
tariff in the next few years if we are
to guard against the cheap productions

Locomotive Is Blamed.

Locomotives, it has been proved, are
the largest contributing cause to for
est fires. An investigation recently
made along the White mountain and
southern Appalachian mountain ranges
shows that of 500 fires occurring
in 1914, 319 were due to sparks
from the smokestacks of locomotives.
In the state of Virginia 80 per cent
of the fires were traced to locomo-
tives. Out of 272 fires 227 were START
ed by engine sparks.
The fact becomes one of vital in
terest to the federal authorities since
the loss in the national forest reserves
of the West alone amounted to S677,-
900 in 1914 This represented among
other things the destruction of 340,-
100000 feet of merchantable timber,
injury to private lands, destruction of
young trees, etc.

FOR TARIFF CHANGE
Cotton interests Awakening to
the Situation.
Realize That Protection Along Some
Lines Is Necessary to Meet Condi-
tions That Are Bound to Come
After the War.

The protective tariff doctrine is max
ing headway in the South. At the re-
cent annual convention of the Ameri-
can Cotton Manufacturing association
in Atlanta practically every speech
had in it a note of precaution against
what the future may bring forth.
While the cotton men were not pes
simistic, but instead recognized that
the present wave of prosperity is wide
spread and that the cotton industries
are reaping their share of the bene-
tits, they admitted that following
peace in Europe there will be ruth
less European competition which will
be little short of ruinous in some lines
of the cotton industry if the present
tariff conditions continue.
The convention expressed its earn
est wish that congress should enact
protective tariff on dyestuffs which
would permit the development of dye
industries in the United States, and
later went on record as favoring a
protective tariff to prevent America
being made dumping ground for Eu-
ropean cotton goods at the close of the
war
The report of the committee on tar
if legislation declared that the exist
ing tariff has already demonstrated its
'ineff1cieney as an income-producing
measure, and has demonstrated that
its schedules are unreasonably and ru-
inously low" The committees report
predicts that at the close of the war
Europe will look to America to take
her goods. and if not prevented will
see to it that America does take them
at such prices as will be ruinous to
American industries.
With the South lining UP for protec-
tion. all that is needed to make it
unanimous is the conversion of Demo
cratic leaders who are not in harmony
with their followers.

The square-built house is one of
the best plans for general efficiency
in cold climate. While many peo-
pie prefer to have various little wings
an! alcoves that extend out from the
plan, the addition of these increases
the outside wall space to large de-
gree and consequently makes the
house much harder to heat than it
would be if it were built with square
corners.
1t is also possible to get the most
room for a given cost if the outside
lines are square. No space is wasted
and the floor room will be found to
be unusually large even when the
house is built on rather small lot.
Many different and attractive ways
of finishing both the exterior and the
interior can be found in houses built
in this way, as can be seen by study
ing the perspective view and the floor

Change in Position of South.

Under free-trade policy the South
saw the double advantage of a large
market for it's agricultural products
and a cheaper rate on the manufac-
tured goods imported from England.
But the South is rapidly becoming a
manufacturing section, and cotton can
be manufactured at home. In the
meantime England, fearing the post
bellum competition of the central pow
ers, has jettisoned her policy of free
trade. It needs but the affirmative ac-
zion of parliament to place Great Brit
ain on a protective basis.
