Magazine Writer Has Elastic Imagination
In the Saturday Evening Post of
May 6 appears a story entitled THE
Man From Nevada" by C. P. Con.
molly. 1t is a wonderful story, the
mining claims being located where
the nearest towns were Virginia CITY
and Carson. the claims were recorded
in Austin, Lander County, and when
the eastern sucker came to look at
his mine he got off the train at Win
nemucca and engaged a chauffeur
from Goldfeld. We are surprised
that the water for the mine wasn't
packed in on burros from Phoebe.
Mr.. Connolly evidently has an elastic
imagination. However. in his ig-
norance he makes one statement that
We cannot let pass unchallenged.
When he says: There are honest
men in the mining business, but they
are as rare as missionaries in the
Orkney Islands. 1t would take a
rescuing party to find Them" he
SANDERS and lies about many of the
best men in the West. The dishonest
men in the mining business were the
get-rich-quick fellows who came from
the East and were finally driven out
of Nevada by legislation making
their operation illegal.-Carson

MISSED BY
TEX RICHARD At RAWA|OE

That TEX" Richard, soldier of
fortune, mine operator, promoter.
and now cattle baron, known from
Nome to the four of the
world, missed a fortune by a small
margin following the boom" days
of Rawhide. is told by j. Holman
Buck. in the Western Nevada Miner.
The miss was made in the Golden
Pen mine at Rand, then known as
Bovard, and at a time when Tex"
was broke.
Buck says: TEX Richard, who
was n of the early owners Of the
property, sunk what is known as the
Richard shaft to a depth of lao feet.
At 80 feet the present ore lenses
were struck, but the character of
the ore was not recognized. On each
side of the shaft there is a streak of
ore 2 1-2 feet in width which runs
$500 to the ton. Richard and asso-
ciates had a fortune in sight and
didn't know it. At the bottom of
the shaft Mr.. Miller ran an upraise
that cut a ledge four feet in width
which sacked S4O0 to the ton. Drifts
run to the east from the shaft have
cut several new ore shoots. Trenches
on the surface have uncovered an
ore body running $500 per ton. In
one day 225 sacks of ore averaging
better than $500 per ton we're sacked
for shipment"
The mine is now bonded to John
H. Miller, Nina merchant and mine
owner who recently excited that
town by the display of several hun
dred pounds of specimen ore taken
from a four-foot ledge which carries
values of $500 to $4,000 a ton.

SENSATIONAL ELkO ARRESTS
Confessed Prisoner duplicates Several
County Officials In Murderous Plot


Elko, Nevada. May 22.-With the
arrest of three prominent Elko resi-
dents to-day, excitement in the Con-
nell poisoning case is at fever heat.
Justice of the Peace H. U. Castle,
Constable H. A. McMurtrey and Joe
Taber, stewart at the county hos
pital, were accused of being acces-
series before the fact in the attempt
to poison Mike Connell, prominent
and wealthy Elko County rancher.
The three county officials were placed
under arrest by the sheriff's office
and were Immediately released on
$4,000 bonds. The complaint was
sworn to by Mike Connell.
Mrs. Ella Connell pleaded guilty
several days ago to the charge of at
tempting the life of her husband and
has been held in the county Jail. 1t
is alleged that she made a complete
confession.
While the specific charges against
Castle, McMurtrey and Taber are
not known, it is alleged that the poi
son used by Mrs. Connell was OBJ
tanned from the county hospital. 1t
is also said that McMurtrey compelled
Connell to marry the woman. who
later attempted his life, and that
Castle performed the ceremony,
afterwards drawing up Connell's
will.
The three men are among the
most popular officials in the county.
Taber is a brother of District Judge
E. j. L. Taber and step-son of Fed
eral Judge Harrington at Carson
City.

Women should vote, because every

FEAT OF FRENCH ENGINEERING

In spite of war, France has contin-
ued a great engineering work-the
tunnel and canal under the mountain
which separates the port of Mar
settles from the river Rhone.
Until now Marseilles, although a
great seaport of the Mediterranean,
has been walled off from Central
France by a mountain ridge. The
new canal runs five miles under the
mountain. allowing the commerce
of that city to reach a populous
region from which it has been shut
out.
The canal and tunnel have beer
under discussion since the time of
Napoleon l., more than a century.
Work was begun in 1904. The whole
canal is 60 miles long. The ive-mile
section under the mountain is rs feet
wide and 70 feet high. which makes
it the largest tunnel in the world,
although not the longest. Barges
of 600 tons can navigate the canal,
and pass under the mountain. The
cost was about 100, 900. 900 francs,
This great work was opened for use,

PEACE AND RUMoRs OF PEACE

For some time peace talk has been
coming from Germany. 1t has been
permitted by the ensors. In the
capitals of the Allies this fact is gen.
orally believed to show German weak
ness. Germany, it is said, is becom-
ing exhausted and her ruling class is
aware of it; hence their eager desire
to end the wal now, while they can
claim victory instead of acknowledge
ing defeat.
On the side of the Allies there has
been no hint of a readiness to end the
war. The whole plan of campaign
was a defensive one. 1t looked for
ward to a time when Germany should
have spent her strength; when they,
the Allies. should have increased
theirs. That time, the Allies seem
to believe, is at hand. Peace, there
fore, does not yet appeal to them.
The recent German note to the
United States openly stated to the
world that Germany had twice Of
fered peace, on such terms as would
safeguard her own vital interests.
To this the President of the French
Republic made reply, speaking at
Nancy: France does not want Ger
many to tender peace. but wants her
to ask for peace. We do not
want to submit to their conditions;
we want to impose ours on them
1t is plain that neither side is yet
ready to acknowledge defeat. Each
still hopes to impose its conditions
on the other. The Germans, per-
haps placing too much reliance on
what is said by their government
and newspapers, firmly believe that
they have already won the war. and
are showing evaporation because
the Allies do not acknowledge it.
So, after nearly twenty-five months
of dreadful war, there is the same
old difference of opinion as to the
outcome, Neither side is ready to
give up, Each still believes it
possible to make the other cry for
mercy. The outlook for peace can
not be called bright.
Yet peace may come as suddenly
as war m The losing side will
hide its weakness until it can conceal
it no longer, and by that time it may
have reached a secret understanding
with it's enemies. There are some
signs that such a movement is on
foot.

ANOTHER GASOLINE SUBSTITUTE

Now another mar has invented a
substitute for gasoline-or says he
has. Not to be outdone by the now
famous but still mysterious green
mixture" of Louis Enricht, aTrenton.
N. j., citizen named Henry 7. eau
lett, announces a gas engine fuel
which he says costs half as much as
gasoline and has from two to three
times the efficiency.
Mr.. Caulett doesn't burn water, as
Enricht processes to do. He mixes
or "agitates" several cheap oils, pro-
ducing a combination that has far
better burning and exploding prop
critics than any of them. The presi-
dent of one of the big automobile
manufacturing companies says he
has tried out the new fuel. and in a
test run has made from 80 to 40 miles
on a gallon. whereas ordinary gaso-
line only runs the same a IA miles.
Maybe it's just another fake-it
hasn't been conclusively established
yet whether the Enricht fuel is real
or imaginary. But surely out OF all
the experimenting nov going on,
somebody one of these days is going
to make some such discovery. giving
US more power at less expense. And
whoever does it will be nearly as
great a ~benefactor of the human
race as the man who first found that
coal would burn.

HOW AMERICA IS PREPARED

Much is said about the "unpre-
paredness" of the United States in
the military sense. 1t is true that
we have no Army to speak of, and
our Navy is now in third or possibly
in fourth place. But armies and
navies are not the whole of prepar-
edness. There are some ways in
which the United States is the best
prepared nation in the world. In all
this talk about the Army, the ways
in which we are splendidly prepared
may perhaps be overlooked even by
Americans.
There are three principal ways in
which nations prepare for war. says
Current Events. They raise armies,
they build navits, they accumulate
money or credit. The last they
often consider the most important.
In modern warfare the victory gen.
orally goes in the end to that side
which has the fullest purse.
1t is here that the United States
has them all beaten. W. are the
richest nation in the world. The
Controller of the Currency has lately
pointed out that our national banks
alone have resources billions greater
than the combined resources of the
national banks of all the countries
now at war.
Our preparedness in this direction
has increased enormously during the
past year.. Better than any other
nation, better than all combined, we
could, if we wished, finance a great
war. We hope we shall never have to.
In other ways we are the best pre-
pared. Some nations may he starved
by blockades. We could live a thous-
and years on u own resources. for
we produce more food than we can
consume. We have unlimited sup
plies of fuel and metals. We have
one of the greatest populations in
the world, the most efficient, the
highest in average intelligence. We
have the most resourcefulness and
inventive genius. For us to know a
need is to find some means of supply
ing it. The American, beyond all
others. is quick to perceive and quick
to act, when the time of need comes.
