OFFERED TO RED CROSS

Clyde P. Johnson, n of the
trustees appointed in the summer
of 1916 to have charge of money
collected for a children's playground
fund, stated today that there is still
on deposit in the John S. Cook and
company bank a check for $31.56
for this purpose and hat he desir-

is little probability of it's eve being

it was intended.

Argentina Cattle.

The Argentina cattle industry Is
capable of much expansion in time of
war stimulation. In the northern end
of the pampas are boundless fields of
grass where the cattle feed the year
round. Sweet water there Is In
abundance, and windmills dotted over
the plains keep the animals plentifully
supplied. There are nc better beef
cattle in the world than those from
Argentina. the breed being the excel
lent result of mixing fine Spanish
blooded strains with the hardy native
stock. Breeding very easily could

MANGANESE NOW
BEING SHIPPED
SUBSTANTIAL PROFITS MADE
FROM MILL CITY PROP
ERTIES

As a result of recent development
work on the Sutton group of tung-
stem claims, located a short dis
lance from Mill City. in Humboldt
county, 80 tons OF ore is now going
out daily from the property, accord
ing to Thomas Sutton, who came to
from the property this week to spend
several days in Reno on business.
The ore is being treated at the To-
ton scheelite concentration at Toulon,
which was built a little more than
a year ago by the Humboldt County
Tungsten company when that on
Germ was operating on the Ragged
Top property.
According to Sutton, the work of
the last few months has opened up
ore of a better grade than hat
which was at first shipped out, the
ore now running, he says, with an
average grade of one and one-half
per cent. The vein is being worked
from a tunnel which was put in the
side of the hill.
Tungsten mining, according to
Sutton, is becoming more and more
important in the lower part of Hum
boldt county, particularly around
Lovelock, Oreana and Mill City.
Where there were but two large
companies operating last year, at
present there are nearly a dozen
smaller operators working in the
vicinity.
Both the st. Anthony Mines at
Troy and Tanning and the Hum
boldt County Tungsten company, OPP
Grating at Toulon and Ragged Top,
pulled up their stakes and discon-
tinued mining when the price OF
tungsten took the big drop and the
keenest of the demand was over.
Both of these concerns are now be-
ing worked by leasers, and are being
worked at a big profit, the leasers
say, on nearly as extensive a scale
as when the big corporations had
them.
Ted Mackedon, who leased his
partners interest in the Ragged Top
property when the Byllesby operators
released their claim on the group
then under bond and lease, is work
ing 10 men and making regular
shipments.
w. H. Shewan, who was manager
for the st. Anthony Mines company
when it operated at flaming, has
leased that property and is working
a good sized crew with results that
he reports as exceedingly gratifying.
This week he reported the strike of
an important vein which is yielding
good ore. This he will treat in the
mill at Toy.
In the vicinity of Oreana and Mill
City a number of new claims have
been opened sufficiently to permit
their entry on the list of regular
shippers, sending the ores to the
Toulon concentration, which is kept
running steadily on custom ores.
1t is reported in mining circles
hat l.. A. Friedman, Rochester
Mines operator, has purchased the
Loufek tungsten property near Ore
ana.
The mining of the tungsten ores
which in that vicinity is in the form
of scheelite, is a comparatively new
source of wealth, prior to the en-
try of the Humboldt County Tung-
stem company, owned by H. M.
Byllesby company officials, there be-
ing but one tungsten property in OPP
Grafton, which was the ST. Anthony
wines concern of the Atolia Mining
company.-Reno Gazette.
