Two Auto Accidents

Robert Puelz, while driving INTO
G~oodsprings, saw another car com
ing down hill at a high rate Of
speed. 1t was impossible for him
tC turn to the right on account of
the height of the ground above the
roadway on hat side. He turned
into a flat space on the left and,
as he turned, the driver of the ap-
preaching machine, not noticing that
he was turning out, also turned to
the left. The two cars came to-
gether with a crash, considerably
damaging both of them. Neither
driver was injured to any extent.
w. A. Taylor and Ed Thompson
were travelling from Goodsprings
to Jean to catch a train for Las
Vegas and while turning out of .
bad place in the road, their steering
gear became locked and the machine
turned turtle. Taylor's shoulder was
dislocated and three of Thompson's
ribs we're broken.

RAWH|OE MINES
RICH IN SILVER
ORE OF HIGH GRADE is FOUND
AT DEPTH IN DIS
DRICT

Frank Everett came in this week
from Rawhide where he has been
looking after mining interests.
He brought with him specimens of
ruby silver from the recent ricn
strike in the Nevada New Mines
company. They were by far the
richest ore specimens that have
come out of the old. boom camp.
with the exception of the crystal
lied gold specimens taken from
Hooligan Hill in the early days.
Everett says that the bonanza
feet and the character of the ore
indicates not only that a bonanza
ore body has been struck, but the
permanency of the ore deposition at
depth, and goes to prove conclu-
sively the merits of the camp, and
its future as a producer. The strike
was made in the winze being sunk,
and Everett says that the entire
Wine, which is seven by nine feet,
is in ore of this characer.
Inc character Oh UHe ore, WHICH
carries high values in both the pre-
cious metals, and the depth at
which it was encountered, $50 feet
from the surface, indicate persist
ence to great depths. The Wine
was sunk at a junction of two veins
and was in good mill ore with
streaks of high-grade from the 600
level, where it started. At Is feet
depth, which is % feet above the
present bottom of the winZe, mil
assays from 46 tons taken out
across the winze, gave returns
of $3.50 per ton. Work in the
winze has been temporarily sus-
pended until the windlass can be
replaced with an air hoist, which
has been purchased.
The strike has lent much encour-
agement to others who have been
holding on for so long and prom

HOUSE BODY REPORTS

for Mechanics.
HOUSE BODY REPORTS
By JOSEPH p. AMIN.

A subcommittee Of the House Naval
Affairs Committee. headed by Repre-
sentative Riordan. OF New York. yes
terday reported favorably the Talbot
bill, Increasing annual leave for
civilian employees Of naval yards, arse
nails, and naval stations from ifteen
to thirty days. At the same time the
Maher bill, revising the rules govern
ing wage scales In the various navy
yards, was reported favorably.
Both bills have been urged strongly
by representatives OF civilian en-
ployes of the local navy yard and by
the local machinists' union.
The Maher bill requires that an an
r-'st' read tustment of wages for me-
chanics and laborers In navy yards
ge made except when passed by
mutual consent; that this readjuSt-
ment shall be based upon ''the pre-
vailing per diem rate OF wages or
earnings for the same or
similar grades of labor IN private
establishments where the best wage
conditions prevail. in the vicinity Of
the navy yards, etc." that the col
lection and analysis of the statistics
secured by inquiry at such sources
shall be the duty of the Secretary
OF Labor, who shall forward that in
and Navy, and that the last named
officers shah use this information in
adjusting wage scales.
The bill requires the Secretary Of Labor
TO furnish this information on request to
interested parties. and to offer representa-
tiYes of the respective trades and oc-
cupations opportunity to present such
arguments and data as. they may de-
sire, and the representative OF the De-
partment of Labor collecting the informa-
tion Is required to sit for this purpose at
each navy yard, naval station, and
arsenal before submitting his findings to
the Secretary Of Labor.

a heated fight seems probable, Is one
which prohibits, except by mutual con-
sent, more than two classes in any trade
Or occupation In any navy yard, naval
