REXALL PROPERTY
HAS GOOD SHOWING
SHAFT BEING SUNK TO DEPTH
ON WINNEMUCCA NOUN
TAIN

II. A. Swanson, president of the
Winneucca Mountain Mining COM
pany. who has been spending some
time in the east, accompanied by w.
G. Adamson, consulting engineer,
visited the property of the company
on Winnemucca mountain Monday
and made a thorough inspection of
the different workings of the es-
tate, both at Rexall and the Bonan-
"a mines.
In speaking of tine developments,
Mr.. Swanson stated that he was
greatly surprised as well as pleased
to see hat such a vast amount of
work had been accomplished since
he left here some weeks ago, and
that the showing at both properties
were very gratifying.
The shaft at the Bonanza mine is
being rapidly sent down and is now
below the 3OO-foot level. This work
ing. he said. is to oe continued on
down to the 400-foot point. where
drifts will be run both east and
west on the ledge that has been
opened for a considerable distance on
the 200-foot level.
The same kind of aggressive work
is being done at the Rexall proper
ty. which is located on the south
end of their big estate. The shaft
which is being sunk is now down
265 feet from the surface. At the
bottom of the shaft a cross-cut is
being run to determine the extent
of the vein at that deth. The Rexall
property has produced some of the
richest gold ore yet found in the
state of Nevada and there are still
good showings in the workings. Both
the Rexall and Bonanza properties
are equipped with hosting and air
compressor plants and the work is
being done with the aid of power
drills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swanson left today
for Chicago, where the former has
business to attend to. They eX-
fect to return to Winnemucca about
Sept. Humboldt Star.

GOlDF|ELD MEN
ARE ENL|ST|NG
THREE WELL-KNOWN LOCAL
MEN JOIN UNITED STATES
ARMY

Goldfield is coming to the fore
in point of enlistments for the
army. Yesterday three well-known
local men decided hat they would
like to do their bit toward helping
our country. These men are Clodi-
mir J.. Dussault, Thomas j. Hennes-
sy and Percy r. Ellis. Two of
these men are not American born
citizens, Mr.. Dussault being a ma
tive of Canada and Mr.. Ellis of
Liverpool, England.
While all three of the men have
excellent position in this city, their
desire to serve their country and
to help free the world from the
binding autocracy that threatens
was overpowering and they APP
preached the recruiting officer with
that determination that distin-
guishes the man ready and willing
to offer his life to the country's
service.
1t is needless to say hat the re-
cruiting officer was glad to see
and accept such men as these three
appear to be and he predicts rapid
promotion for these men. who have
decided that response to their coun-
try's call is their first duty.
Mr.. Dussault and his comrades
will leave Goldfield for the coast
Sunday morning to join the Sth
Engineers. This regiment is sta
toned It American Lake, Washing
ton. and will be among the first
to proceed to France. 1t is COM
posed of the highest class of men
on the coast and it is predicted
that Goldfield. through its volun-
teers. will receive great honor and
glory on the battlefields of Europe.

RENO BANKER
SHOOTS SELF
NJ. SCHEELINE ACCIDENTALLY
DISCHARGES REVOLVER
WITH FATAL RESULT

MoritZ Scheelin, president and
founder of the Scheeline Bank and
Trust company accidently shot
and killed himself at 4:1O o'clock
Saturday afternoon while cleaning
a 38-caliber Colt revolver in the
directors offices of the bank. He
died from the effects of the wound
at $50 o'clock.
Although alone at the time of
the shooting, it is believed from the
course of the bullet that Scheeline
was holding the pistol to the light
in order to examine the barrel
when the weapon was discharged.
The shot entered the left brest and
took a downward course to the
right, passing through the back
of the chair and lodging in the wall
at the Dashboard. His chair was
drawn away from the table, under
a hanging reading light, a few
feet from the wall.
His only statement, but one re-
peated many times before his death
was 81 never did anyone any
harm"
In the opinion of James T. Boyd.
attorney for the trust company,
who was with him after the acct
dent, Sheeline did not know that
his own revolver had killed him

BUCKSK|N-HALCYON
INS1ALLS DRILLS
PROPERTY IN HUMBOLDT
COUNTY GETS COMPLETE
EQUIPMENT

W. A. Smith, representing the
Denver Rock Drill Manufacturing
company, was an arrival last night
and this morning left by auto with
T. J. Defenbaugh for the property
of the Buckskin Halcyon Mining
company at the south end of the
National mining district, where the
former is to install an electric
drilling plant. This equipment.
which is a new proposition in this
section, arrived a few days ago
and is now at the property.
The Halcyon company is operat-
ing a lease on the north end of
tional Gold Mining company and is
being managed by Roy Gayer. who
at the present time is working two
shifts of miners.
The Buckskin National is con-
sidered one of the big mines of
the state and is opened to consider
able extent at the south end of
the estate, where there is a 400
foot shaft and over 1900 feet of
drifting, mostly on the vein. Ore
has been extracted from the pro-
perty almost as rich as that taken
from the National company's mine

DENIED
SUGAR ON BERRIES
MENT RESTRICTED IN
THEIR RATIONS

LONDON, July 1. - Major Gen.
eral P%ershing, commander of the
American expeditionary force in
France, seated for tea on the beau
tiful Thames terrace of the house
of commons with Colonel Aston as
his host, had an experience in Eng
lands war rationing when he
found that he could not have sugar
in his tea and on his strawberries
as well.
"You may have only n portion
of sugar, two-seventh of an ounce"
the waitress informed him with a
quaint air of preciseness, and the
general promptly chose sugarless
strawberries, remarking that the
sun, as though anxious to compen-
safe, had sweetened the strawber-
ries so well that sugar was not es-
sential.
In the bounteous times of peace,
the house of commons mattresses
used to trip about the terrace
during the fine June afternoons
with big bowls of white powdered
sugar and lavish jugs of cream
Now the sugar is strictly rational,
and the amount of cream that may
be used is limited to mi small
measured portion for each person.

Forty COnvicts At Work

Forty convicts are at work at
the Plymouth company ranches in
Smith valley under escort of three
guards. Three convicts made a
getaway several days ago In or
der to secure the convicts the COM
pany had to give a 100000 bond,
or $1,000 for each man. If the
three men who escaped are not
apprehended it will prove a costly
experiment for the big land COM
pany. The company pays for the
services of the ~convicts at the rate
of $3.50 per day and this low
wage has caused considerable Ill
feeling against the company by
laboring men in Smith valley.

GROOM DISTRICT
IS NOW ACTIVE
EXPANSION IN DEVELOPMENT
PLANS Is REPORTED
FROM DISTRICT

Hot weather has struck the
camp, says a correspondent at the
camp of Groom, and while we look
south across a dry lake, hot enough
in itself, yet we are comparatively
cool here. The elevation of the
camp is $500 feet and the climate
generally is about like that of
Phoebe.
On the Black Metal claim, Lane
and sherwood nave their prospect
shaft down some 40 feet, with Is
feet of prosecuting east and
west from the bottom, all in blast
ing matter. Throughout this whole
work steel galena ore, some run
ming as high as 60 per cent lead
has been found, and some high
grade silver samples in the bottom
of the shaft.
The ore cannot yet be said to be
in place, but, distributed as it is
all through such a large mass,
which considered in connection
with the big bodies of similar ore
found in the Groom mine in the
same ledge to the north, the ex-
%pectation is hat good sized bodies
of shipping ore will be found with
the prosecution of further work.
The bulk of the material already
taken out may be said TO be mill
ing ore.
The lease under which Tom Nc
Cormac has operated the Groom
mine for the past two years will
o be operated by the owners, G..
Poncin, Pat Sheahan and T. J..
Osborne. improvements are con-
templated in the way of shaft work,
installation of a larger hoist and
something in the way of power jigs,
which latter is made possible by
the recent finding of more water in
the mine. With the high prices
prevailing for both silver and lead,
some of the late ore shipments
have been settled for at more than
500 a ton, and the disposition is
to get all the ore possible into
market.
Hanus and Nugent. n of
the Groom Annex claim, west of
the Groom mine, have shown up a
most promising ledge at a point
500 feet west from the Groom
shaft.
Oak Spring district. situated at
a point about 20 miles southwest
of Groom and over in Nye county
continues TO attract attention. w.
e. Smith has a group of claims To-
Gated around the old Mexican mine,
and brings in some fine looking
samples of copper-lead-silver ore;
while l.. M. Robb has made a dis
covery of 100 ounce rock in the
same vicinity.
Mining or prospecting for silver
ore has not been in favor there for
many years because of the low
price and expense Of marketing.
But the price is going up, and
motors instead of teams, take ore
to the railroad: hence the old
proposition that the section is a
good n for p~rospectors and inves-
tors continues to grow. - Phoebe
