D|sCOvERERO OF MINERAL HILL
DIES IN CALIFORNIA

James Ward, a pioneer Nevada
mining man, and discoverer of Min
eral Hill, Eureka County, when it was
in Elko County, died recently at Los
Angeles at about so years of age.
Wards discovery of Mineral Hill
was accidental. He was a resident
of Austin when the White Pine dis
covery was made. He QUILTED at
Eiko and started for the new field.
On his return, Ward passed through
the Bullion range into Pine valley.
Ward found some rich float, and
after prospecting a couple OF days
discovered the ledge and made his
locations. Assays showed phenomen-
al values and a stampede followed.
After some development work on
Wards claims. an English syndicate
bought them for $500, DOC.
The country was then sparsely
settled. Indians were dangerous.
During the several days that Ward
was prospecting and making his To-
cations he did tot dare make a fire
for fear of attracting the attention
of the Indians. He subsisted on
raw bacon. and other food that could
be eaten without being cooked.
A few years after selling his claims
Ward moved to Los Angeles.

BOYS, DO You KNOW THAT
ALL REAL MEN MUST WORK ?

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick.
or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set OF
books, dig bitches or edit a paper,
ring an auction bell or write funny
things, you must work. If you look
around. you will see the men who
are able to live their days without
work are the men who work the
hardest. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself with overwork. 1t is be-
yond your power to do that on the
sunny side of thirty.
They die somtimes, but it is be-
cause they quit work at 6 p. m.
and don't get home until 2 a. m.
1t is the interval that kills, my son.
The work gives you an appetite for
your meals; it lends solidity to your
slumbers; it gives you a perfect and
grateful appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not know their names
even; it simply speaks of them as
"old So-and-So." Nobody likes them;
the great busy world doesn't know
that they are there. So find out
what you want to be and do, and
take of your coat and make a dust
in the world. The buster you are
the less harm you will be able to get
into, the sweeter will be your sleep,
the brighter and happier your holt
day, and the better satisfied the
world will be with you.-Bob Bur-
dette.

ALLIES CAPTURE 3 MILES
OF GERMAN TRENCHES
Paris Announces Victory on Front or
over Mile-Battle in Somme
Region.

London, Aug. 1S.-The French and
British, striking with terrific force IN
three directions on the Somme front,
have stormed nearly three miles OF
German trenches, driving forward at
points to a depth of 800 to 500 yards.
The most important gains were
made by the British and French
troops striking north from the point
where the allied lines meet. Maurepas
and Clery, two of the most important
points held by the Germans in this
sector, have been flanked on both sides,
according to the official statement is
sued by Paris on Wednesday.
The road has also been reached be-
tween Maurepas and Guillemont, the
latter town being the immediate OBJ
jective of the British. This advance,
if maintained brings the allies direct
ly in front of the large railroad town
of Combles.
South of the Somme the French
stormed German trenches over
length of about three-quarters of
mile, driving forward in a southerly
direction from Belley-en-Sante
Paris reports that a considerable num-
Der of prisoners were taken in these
operations.

TAKE REFUGE IN CITY HALL

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 21.-Unlteo
States soldiers and National GUARDS
men stationed at Fort Brown were
driven from their quarters and took
refuge in the city hall and other publlc
buildings at Brownsville, on account
of the Gulf coast storm which hit that
section on Friday, according to meager
reports received over the army wire
less at Fort Sam Houston from Fort
Brown. The wind was blowing ~
miles an hour.
A terrific and destructive wind, ac-
cording to this report, has wrought
havoc in Brownsville and in the mill
tary camp. Those troops which TOOK
refuge in the courthouse were the I'LL
nois. Iowa and Virginia regiments.
They took two days rations. All wires
are down.
Gov. Edward F. Dunno of Illinois
and staff, who have spent two days
in Brownsville, left San Antonio for
Houston.
The steamship Pilot Boy of the
Texas Il Gulf line fOundered IN the
high seas running off Port Arkansas,
Tex, according to Galveston reports.
Three of her crew of 13 reached the
shore, it is reported. Nothing has been
heard of the others.
The exodus from the city of Cal
weston to the mainland continues, but
local authorities still believe there is
no local danger
The wind accompanying the storm
reached a velocity of 70 miles an hour
at Corpus Christi during the afternoon
and was carrying everything movable
before it. A heavy sea was running
in Corpus Christi bay. In the north
beach portion of that city scores OF
summer cottages were demolished.
A rush of water over Camp Cotton
at Ell Paso drove about 500 men of the
Thirty-first Michigan infantry out of
their tents. The entire First battal-
ion had to move away. The tentless
doubled up with other companions or
slept in box cars.
