DISTRICT
SHOWING REVIVAL
MINES ARE WORKING AND
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
TO SHIP TO SAMPLER

The high prices now being paid
for lead with the increased price Of
silver, has caused renewed activity
in q numter of the small properties
in this district. A number of men
have been working on leases and
taking out ore for several months
and shipment to the shelters viii
be commenced as soon as road con-
ditions will permit; leases for new
ground have recently been given ana
preparations for commencing II
on them are now being made.
The Richmond Eureka Mining
company has out a 50-ton shipment
of zinc ore and an effort was made
the local railway depot from the
mines on Ruby hill, but the teams
could not get through the heavy
banks of snow on parts of the road
and the effort to get the ore to the
Gerot has been postponed until
road conditions are improved.
This company has had a jig in
stalled on Ruby hill and it was put
in operation this week on a lot or
zinc ore that will be put through
for a test and if the ore works
down successfully, most of the
company's zinc ores will probably Re
put through jigs before being
shipped to the smelters from here.
w. r. Swicegood will resume his
jiag;ng operations on Adams hi!l
as soon as weather conditions will
permit, and altogether, the present
prospects for a considerable in
crease in mining orerat ons in this
district during the summer are
most ACCOMPLISHMENTS Sentinel.

District MAKING
GREAT RECORD FOR PRODUCTION

by the locators single handed, are
now becoming producing mines.
Better than all, there is still a
large portion of the district, be-
lieyed by many to be just as rich
in minera, as the older section,
which is as yet but partially pros
ectel and in which good surface
showings may be found.
The Mobile mine has reverted to
the original wners, Fredrickson Il
Wadey, who are now shipping ore.
The Mobile company has other in
terests in the camp which 1T IS
developing under the management
OF w. Spencer Black.
The New Year mine is preparing
to make a shipment of 200 tons of
aigh- grade zinc ore now on The
dump. B. l.. Whitney is manager
:, the property.
The Mountain Top is %shippllg
considerable ore. This property be-
longs to the Campbell estate, but
IS under le9se t. Geo. Wadey, who
IS subletting it to M. Darlington.
The Boss mine near Platina, is
making shipment Of copper ore.
This is the property in which fabu-
lousy rich platinum ore is found,

JUNKMAN GETS STIFF
SENTENCE FROM COURT

The justice court recently found
1. Schoket guilty of purchasing junk
from several boys of town who
had stolen metal, copper wire and
other articles of value from vari-
Gus mining properties in the dis
trict. Justice French Of Columbia,
who has been sitting in place of
Justice Arnold during the latter's
absence in the east, sentenced the
defendant to four months in Jail
and fined him 1928. The court
later suspended the Jail sentence
and the defendant paid the fine.
The sheriff's Office is keeping u
sharp watch on local dealers, as sew
eral valuable engines have been
wrecked, presumably by boys who
sell the metal to junk dealers.

HIGH-GRADE FOUND IN
WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT

John G.. Rupert, a veteran pros
pector, came in from Willow creek
district recently for a supply of pro-
visions. The people of that section
have been virtually showed in for
the past several months. He re-
ports considerable mining activity.
Several of the properties are show
ing up good values. Mayfield and
Craver have a shaft down % feet.
the entire bottom OF which, being
in ladge matter, averages $50 to
the ton, $40 in gold, the balance
in silver and lead. These people
have erected a small mill. which
will be put in operation within the
next 10 days.
Mr.. Rupert has opened up sew
eral good claims along the main
lead of the district. He reports a
stringer in one of his properties six
inches wide which shows free gold
throughout the rock. There are
25 men in the district and It is
predicted that this summer vii.

MILITARY TRAINING FOR YOUTH
Of NATION WOULD insure PEACE

Switzerland seems to have solved
wisely the problem of acquiring tor
its youth all the benefits of state
training and discipline, freed from
tho evils of military caste and ag-
gressive militarism as they are ex-
emplified in the Germany army.
German efficiency and highly dis
ciplined cooperation compel u re-
D ct, wonder and admiration. II
is not a chance product. 1t has
been in the making since Napo.-
con, more than 100 years ago, over
reached himself when, conquered
Prussia at his feet, he laid down
the seemingly hard condition that
the Prussian army should never ca
ceel $4,000 men.
But Prussian sagacity was more
than a match for Napoleonic gen
Jus. 1t met the condition by train
ing $4,000 men for a few months,
discharging them back into civilian
life and calling another $4,000 re-
cruts to the service for another
brief period of military training.
This simple process Prussia re-
peated again and again until it had
practically trained reserve of sew
eral thousand men. Its nominal
army never exceeded the stipulat-
ed $4,000, but it's real army grew
to heroic proportions.
That was the making of Ger
man character. 1t led on to the
downfall of Napoleon the Great,
bore fruitage half a century later in
the overflow of Napoleon the Lit
tie and the welding of the Ger
manic states by Bismarck into the
present day empire, and was the
tap1 cot of the present Germanic
power and efficiency.
National greatness is but an ag-
gregate of individual vigor and ef-
ficiency, and individual success is
dependent on health and discipline.
Without them nothing. Young men
who have in them in high degree
render high service to the family,
to the community and state. Boys
that lack them are the failures,
the mOllyCOuulcS inc iHCoi i5loiCof
the criminals.
A training systef like that of
Switzerland gives infinitely more to
the individual and the nation than
it eXacts.
Let us follow a Swiss boy through
tho schools and into the training
camp. Early he is taught the ele
mentary laws of health, correct gait
and carriage, attention to COM
mand and cooperative action with
his comrades.
Swiss Boys Training
Though this preliminary training
is not of a military nature. it fits
him admirably for the military IN
struction that awaits him at 20. At
that age he is put to physical and
mental tests to determine his r&-
pacity to serve his country.
THE tests are comparatively
easy says DR.. Henry Ferguson,

NEBRASKA PLAINS

WHERE DOCILE COWBOY ROANiS
WAS EARLY SCENE OF
TURBULENCE

Kearney, Neb., takes it's name
from old Fort Kearney. which stoJi
south of the river, a few miles elst
of the city, at the junction of the
e~nligrant trail from Kansas City and
;Ie Platte valley trail. 1t was a
center o. turbulence during the
time of Indian warfare. Here
during the construction of the Union
Pacific railroad, according to Gen.
eral Dodge, there were more des-
pe1ate fights and literally hair
raising adventures than James Fenl-
more Cooper ever dreamed of, and
here Major North, with his four
companies of Pawnee Indians, made
history defending the Overland
route against hostile Indians.
The Plum creek, Ogalalla and
Summit Springs campaigns under
Major North's direction did much to
prove ccnclusively to the Sioux and
Cheyenne that he was their abso-
lutte master. The same writer says
tha. every mile of the railroad had

West of Kearney the bluffs, con

late Tertiary age, are about a mile
rom the railroad. Could the
traveller restore the landscape of late
Tertiary time, he would find him
self surrounded by scenes greatly
different from those of the present.
The swampy lowlands of that time
were covered with vegetation similar
to that now growing in moist eli

Mastodons with tusks on both The
upper and lower jaws, much like
those of the Miocene epoch, still
persisted. Short legged %rhinoceI-
oses remained abundant, and there
was a great variety of wolf-like car
nivora.
Saber-toothed tigers and true eats
some of them considerably lara-
err than the modern tigers-were al
so abundant. Three-toed horses
were still numerous, but the mod

them. One of the most curious

The amount of wealth being pro-
duced by the Yellow Pine mining
district is appreciated by but few
people, probably for the reason
that the development of the mines
has been gradual and steady and
not accompanied by the frenzled
speculative features which make
nCtorietyfor many less meritorious
districts. For several years such
pre- perties as the Yellow Pine and
the Potosi have been known as prot
table producers, but within the
past year many of the prospects
have reached a point of deveHp-
mant where they are shipping orr
AM receiving large returns.
More ore is being shipped from
The district than from any other
point in the state, and in point
OF money returns, the Yellow Pine
district is very close to the top, if
it does not exceed any other caml
in Nevada.
from the statement published by
the Empire Zinc company, on the
operation of the Potisi mine, it
will be observed that the mine
produced approximately $500,09C
during the year 1915, with a net
profit of over$34O,0 900. The YELLOW
Pine mine paid in dividends during
last half of 1915, $4,000 00 and
is now earning in excess of 81, 900
000 a year over all expenses.
Approximately 25 ears a week

trict at the rate of $250.000

The feature of the district pot

side is that there is every oppor-
trinity for both the prospector and
