FOOD COMES HIGH IN
BELtAGUtRED EMPIRE
PEOPLE REMAIN CONFIDENT
THAT ARMY WILL ATTAIN
ULTIMATE VICTORY

That the pinch of the allies block
ade is being severely felt in the cen
trail empires engaged in the Euro
pean war is attested to by the prices
prevailing there as quoted by Mar
tilda Meddvesek, a 21-year-old Aus
trian girl who arrived in Goldfield
Saturday from the empire of Franz
Joseph. She MADE the long journey
to marry Frank Orehek. an Austrian,
who now resides in Goldfield.
She states that food prices are
excessive as compared to prices pre-
vailing in America. Flour is selling
for 10 cents per pound; beef 60
cents per pound; sugar 90 cents;
coffee $1.5O; bacon 81, and eggs 4
cents apiece. Shoes are worth from
SIS to SIP per pair and everything
else in proportion.
Since the male population up to
50 years has been called to the front
there has beer more money in cir
culation than ever before and this
condition has resulted in high prices.
The people of the country retain
their faith in the Austrian army and
are confident of it's ability to wrest
victory from the forces of the en-
tente allies hat are threatening it
from all sides.

GOLOF|ELO MEN
FIND RICH VEIN
PROSPECTOR LOCATES GOOD
BODY OF ORE IN HUMBOLDT
COUNTY

E. A. Rice came into Tonopah yes
terday morning with news of a dis
covery that may make history in the
northern section of the state. This
is the find of Jim Fahey of Gold
field, one of the best known pros
pectors in Nevada, who has spent
the better part of the past two years
looking for rare metals. His new
locations are in Bonita Canyon, eight
miles northwest OF Humboldt House,
40 miles west of Winnemucca.
Fahey made his first location on
July 20 and since then has uncov-
cred a ledge 40 feet in width that is
said to average from $12 to SIS in
free gold that may be recovered by
straight amalgamation, as there is
not a single rebellious element about
it. The formation is a %porphry,
lime shale, dacite and andesite.
The ground has been christened
Bingo Hill and is in the Central
mountains. The best way of reach
ing it is by way of Jungo on the
Western Pacific or Emely or Hum
boldt House on the Southern Pacific.
Fahey vas prospecting around, hav-
ing entered the section with a COM
plete automobile outfit, and at three
feet below the surface found the
ledge after trenching for about
three feet. The ground never had
a pick in it, and the nearest work
ines are those known as the Chafey
diggings. farther north.
Fahey is backed by Joe Good. fore
mar of the Florence Goldfield, and
Nick Reinhart of the same company.
There has been no rush into the new
district and the only ones who have
taken advantage of the new discov-
cry are Billy Keenan, of Goldfield
and Jack Rice, formerly of Horn
silver.-Tonopah Bonanza.

Six pedigreed Hereford ~two-year-
old heifers valued at $4,000 have
been added to the university herd
by John II. CaZier, a rancher and
s~tock-breeder of Wells. This Gift
is the first in the cooperative plan
which is being carried out by the
stockmen of the state and the uni
versity. In order to improve the
breed of livestock in the state,
the Nevada Cattlemen's association
has made provision 20 add blooded
stock to the university herd. The
stock will be bred and in turn the
ranchers will use the high-bred
stock to improve the value of their
herds. At the present time the uni
versity has one of the best coiiec-
items of high-bred stock in the
United States for its size and it
will be added to constantly by the
stockmen.

PROPERTY NEAR RENO GETS
HIGH RETURNS FROM LAST
SHIPMENT

The NiXon-Nevada Mining COM
pany has received settlement for two
more cars of high grade copper-gold-
silver ore, one lot of which is the
richest yet shipped from, this mine,
netting $203.S3 per ton after paying
transportation and smelling charges.
Another car is now at the sampler.
Following mine costum the CON
signments were divided into first
and second-class ore. The first
class in one car was settled for on
the basis of 81 ounce gold, 21.1O
ounces silver and 25.S per cent cop
per. The gold and silver brought
$913.57 per ton and the copper
$130.39. After deducting freight and
smelter charges this lot brought
S144.42 per ton. The first class in
the other contained "a gold, 26.4

Freight and smelter charges reduc-
ed this to $2O3.S3 per ton. The
second class contained $S.72 and

GREAT PROFITS
PAID BY MINES
INVESTORS IN SHARES OF MINE
COMPANIES REAP RICH
REWARDS

Many who have made successful
investments in other than mining
securities express wonder at the
readiness of the general public in
Ylacing their savings in mining
shares.
The mining and metallurgical in
dustries were found ready to meet
the enormous requirements for me-
tails by the warning nations, being
in a better position than ever before
to do this. At the same time these
mines and works we're in a better
position than ever before to earn
greater profits than were possible
before the era of improved machin-
cry and processes made possible the
economic treatment under the super
vision of advanced technical skill,
of the vast low-grade deposits, par
ticularly of the porphyries.
AS a result of this great prepar-
edness these mines and works to the
number of 140 paid to fortunate
shareholders during the 6 months
period no less than $117,15S,391,
more than double the amount paid
out during the entire year 1915.
That the dividends of these COM
panies are of regular occurrence
is evidenced by the fact that since
incorporation they have distributed
the enormous sum of $1,157,66S,O73.
Great as the profits mentioned
above they represent only a part
of the enormous wealth hat YVES
taken out of the mines during the
half year of 1916. If it were pos
sible to compute the enormous pro-
fits that are regularly distributed by
the many private and close corpora
tions, which are directly interested
in the mineral industry, the fact
would be emphasized that fabulous
wealth is being created by Ameli-
can mines and metallurgical works.
To report annually an output of
minerals in excess of $4,000, 600 900
and a dividend record that will APP
proximate $500, 100000 in 1916 is
a record to feel proud of.
Stockholders are not alone in
sharing these vast profits earned
by the mineral industry in 1916, for
labor also was greatly benefited,
mining companies having been gen.
erous in increasing wages to the OK
ten of many millions.
In fact this country's prosperity,
during the half year, should he
credited largely to the great expan-
sion in our mining and metallurgical
industries.

CRIME DECREASE DUE
TO TEMPERANCE MOVE

LONDON, July 20. - The report
on prisons in Scotland for 1915, just
issued, reveals a remarkable de-
crease in the number of criminals
Notwithstanding the fact that the
population of the country has in
creased since then by As per cent.
The decrease is attributed chiefly to
the growth of the temperance move
ment, increased facility for finding
employment, and the recent mobili-
Zation. The number of criminals
tabulated in 1915 was 37,34O, a de-
crease of 1916, as compared with
the total of the preceding year.

The doom of the jack rabbit is
sealed. No more will he raise the
devil with the cabbage patches. His
day is done. William Wills of
Austin has demonstrated that salt,
properly administered. will stalt a
death dealing epidemic among them.
Wills took two dozen rabbits, slit
the skins on their backs and insert
ed salt along their spinal cords.
The Sits were then sewed up with
silk thread and the animals turned
loose. They emitted cries of a
peculiar nature and attracted the
attention of some 5000 others, who
hurried to the rescue, only to be
rapidly and fatally bitten by the
sailed ones.

Runs Ford With Horse Liniment

Roy Orr, a garage man Of Phoebe
has demonstrated that horse lini-
ment can be used on Ford automo-
biles as well as on horses. He lost
the screw-cap OF the lubricator case
of his machine while on the desert
far from help. The oil ran out and
left him in a predicament. He re-
covered the cap, replaced it, and
walked to a sheep camp, where he
obtained a few pounds of butter,
which he mixed with cup grease and
put in the crank case. When this
had been used up he met a freighter
from whom he secured some lin
seed oil and horse liniment. He
poured it into the machine and
reached town on the mixture, which
appeared to have a healing effect
and he now recommends any good
liniment for a Ford. He claims
they r a kind of animal and that
if he ever runs out of gasoline I'M
der the same circumstances he will
