ElDORADO CANYON
CONTINUES ACTIVE
IMPROVEMENT SHOWN IN OUT
PUT AND CONDITION
OF MINES

The mining situation in Eldorado
Canyon is in a very satisfactory con
dition, having shown considerable
Improvement during the past month
or two. Most of the properties are
keeping busy taking out ore and
making new developments and the
prospects are bright for a very ac-
tive winter in that camp.
Messrs. eastman, CrOzier and En-
win, of the Mountain Top
lease, made a shipment this week
of eight tons of ore averaging better
than $500 per on. The property
is a steady producer of a small ton
mage of very high grade ore.
The Rand this week shipped &c
tons of concentrates from it's mill.
Camp buildings and machinery, in
Guiding a five-stamp mill, are being
placed on the Lombard. The prop

PACKARD HAS
NEW OREBODY

Announcement of important de-
velopment work on the Nevada
Packard property, in the Rochester
district, Humboldt county, vas made
by superintendent H. c. Thompson,
i'll his report received at the COM
pany's local offices today. The fea-
ture reported is the progress in
opening up a new orebody at the
southern limits of the mine, which
has been opened at both ends for a
length of 135 feet, with average
values reported at $16.25.
According to President Mark
Walser, this orebody is one of the
most important yet opened in the
property, extending what was pre-
viously thought to be the south limit
of the south orebody. This will, he
said, assure a good supply of mill
ore to be worked underground dur
ing the winter.
Carpenters have completed the
frame work for the new tank sys-

tank. During last week. sos tons of
ore were milled, with heads aver

MANHATTAN Man
HAS INVENTION
IMPROVEMENT ON BALL MILL
PROCESS HAS BEEN
PERFECTED

The final patent papers have just
been issued from the Washington
patent office covering the design
originated by l.. l.. Mushett of Man
haitian, New, to eliminate that stage
in mill practice which takes in the
mill, stamps, rolls, etc.
Mr.. Mushett, while in charge of
the Big Pine mine and mill opera
tions, conceived the idea of placing
a partition in an ordinary tube mill,
and the coarse crusher product,
which in ordinary mill practice
would pass under stamps or
through rolls for a preliminary
coarse sizing before reaching the
fine grinding stage OF a pebble tube
mill was to receive its grinding
through the iron ball action in the
first chamber of the tube mill and
from there to pass automatically in
to the major interior portion of the
tube mill, where the final fine
grinding action was impaired to
the product by means of pebbles the
same as in ordinary tube mill prac-
tice.
After devoting several months to
perfecting his process and expert
menting with sizes of iron balls,
types of liners, etc., for the small
chamber, the perfected mill was
placed in steady operation at the
Big Pine and demonstrated an UNI
qualified success.
1t has been in use for over two
years and the results obtained are
sufficient to revolutionize ordinary
mill practice. The product from the
combined mill showed sizing tests
identical with an ordinary tube mill
and the elimination of the stamps
from the mill reduced the cost of
tI eatment by over one-half.
The partition is designed with
two seperate heads with space be-
tween where a spiral scoop is placed
to elevate the pulp from the lower
level in the ball mill to the center
of the pebble compartment where
a higher pulp level is necessarily
maintained, thus giving the same
effect that would be given by the in
%stallation of an open end ball mill
followed by a re-grinding pebble
mill, but doing away with the great
increase in cost of a double installa-
ton and double operating cost.
The manufacture of the perfected
mill parts is now under Roadway by
a Tonopah company, although the
demand for these improved mills
will be so great after their good
qualities become known that ar
rangements undoubtedly will be
made for manufacture where a
larger supply can be turned out.
The local company formed to sup
ply these patented mills is known
as the American Combination Ball
Pebble Mill company. = Manhattan

WOMEN ARE URGED
To- CONTINUE
KNITTING
SWEATERS AND OTHER ARTI-
Giles MUCH NEEDED BY
SOLDIERS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. l.
Harvey d. Gibson, general manager
Of the American Red Cross, authori-
yes the following statement:
"A great number of inquiries are
being received by the Red Cross
from m knitters throughout
the United States as to whether they
should Discontinue knitting.
The Red Cross, therefore desires
to place before the women of this
country it's conception of the knit
ting situation. AS is we'll known it
il the policy of the Red Cross to
supplement, so far as it has the
power, the efforts of the army and
ravy in conserving the health and
comfort of u soldiers and sailors,
either in this country or abroad.
Sweaters and other knitted ar
ticles are designed primarily for
warmth. They certainly are not or
ramental. Therefore it must fol-
low that when there is an almost
universal demand on the part of
our sailors and soldiers for sweat
eIs and other knitted articles the
demand is a real one. Such articles,
therefore, can only be classed as
equipment, supplementary though
they may be, to that furnished by
the army and navy. And they un-
doubtedly constitute equipment that
will add greatly to the health and
comfort of our men under conditions
generally met with.
THE Red Cross knows that the
soldiers and sailors want sweaters
and other knitted articles. These
goods can be obtained from the Red
Cross in single garments only upon
individual request; or If in bulk,
then upon the request of a COM
handing officer.
How great the need is, is best
evidenced by the fact that in addi-
tion to the hundreds of thousands
of knitted articles produced by our
Red Cross chapters in the last few
months we have been compelled to
purchase $4,000 extra sweaters
alone to meet the insistent demand
made upon us by our men for them.
are sorry that we had to do any
pWtchasing at all because we know
how much the soldiers and sailors
of this country prefer the sweaters
and other articles knitted by the
women of this country.
1T may be understood further
that in addition to the demands of
u army and navy we have very
urgent demands from commissions
abroad for like articles for. desti-
tute civilian population-men, wo-
men and children-who, if not ac-
TALLY homeless, r very scantily

'It is hoped that this general
statement will satisfy the
OF this country who have been de-
voting all their possible time to
knitting for our men. We cannot
too strongly urge all m who
are now knitting to keep on knit
ting"

ARE YOU LOVING ENOUGH?

Are you loving enough? There is
someone dear,
Someone you hold as the dearest of
all
In the hottest shrine of your heart.
Are you making it known? Is the
truth of it clear
To the one you love? If deaths quick
call
Should suddenly tear you apart
Leaving no time for a long farewell,
Would you feel you had nothing to
Nothing you wished you had said be-
fore
The closing Of deaths dark door.
Are you loving enough? The swift
years fly
Oh, faster and faster they hurry away
And each one carries its dead.
The good deed left for the by and by,
The word to be uttered another day
May never be done or said.
Let the love-wOrd sound in the listen
ing ear,
Nor wait to speak it above a bier.
Oh, the time for telling your love is
brief,
But long, long is the time for grief.
Are you loving enough?

HOW TO CHOOSE A DOCTOR
CDR. VIM. Brady M. D. }

Among the many suggestions read
ers have been kind enough to present
for talks are few which seem to diff
cult that we neatly and cordially
avoid them. And then there are a
few which we scarcely feel equal to
handling. One of these is How to
Choose a Family Physician"
What are the hall-marks of good
doctor?
First, you seldom or never see his
name in print. This is a rather frank
admission, coming from one who holds
forth in print almost every day in the
year. But one can afford to be- frank
and honest-in print-when he is we'll
paid for just that
Second, he makes you undress for
examination No doctor with human
eyes, ears or hands has ever yet &C
quired sufficient secOnd-sight to dag
nose disease through the clothing.
Third, when you find him out Of
town he is attending a medical meet
ing or taking a brief postgraduate
course.
Fourth, he is a great fellow to sug-
gest consultations, or to refer you to
some colleague for special examina-
ton, or, if you up and die, to ask per-
mission to have a necrOpsy. Tn other
words, he never gets through study
ing medicine. That is why he buys
so many medical books and subscribes
to so many Of the high priced jour
nails.
Fifth, he prescribes simple medi-
cines, prepared for your particular re-
quirements at this particular time,
and not ready-made stuff which some
agent has recently sampled the local
profession with. Or perhaps he pre-
scribes no medicine at all, but merely
lays down some rules for your guidan-
ance.
Sixth, he never guarantees or prom

Seventh, he is invariably a stickler
for the much-ridiculed principles of
conduct which explains the present
high estate Of medicine medical
ethics.
Eighth, being an honest laborer, he
deems himself worthy of his hire, and
he is not backward about coming for
ward when he wants it.
Ninth, he never puts a patient off
with the evasion weak lungs" Nor
does perpetrate the ear-diagnosis,
'catarrh." On the contrary, he deter

he frankly admits he does not know
Tenth, he will do anything short of
murder for a loyal patient.

KNIT FOR THE SOLDIERS

"Why aren't more American women
knitting?" is the frantic query of
Maj. Grayson M. P Murphy, head of
the American Red Cross in France.
More American women ARE knitting,
more than they have knitted for a
century in America Women are
knitting everywhere and at every time.
But most of them are knitting bright
cOlOred sweaters for themselves, for
Christmas gifts to their women
friends. 1t isn't one woman in ten
who takes khaki or gray yarn out of
the gay bag that swings from her arm.
This will be the worst winter that
northern France has known. The
supply of wood and other fuel which
was available last winter has been
materially decreased by the summers
warfare. And now there are not only
the French and English armies and
the thousands of refugees to be kept
warm, but the American eXpeditionary
force. Keeping warm in France this
winter for the fighting armies will be
matter Of clothing more than of
fuel. If there is not enough warm
clothing death will reap a greater
harvest this winter than war.
This isn't sentiment. 1t is cold fact.
Whenever woman knits a gay
colored sweater when she night be
knitting for the desperate need over
seas she is by her criminal negligence
exposing some one to Gllness and pos
sible death. Eery ball of fancy yarn
taken from the possible supply of
khaki or gray. 1t is practically i'm
sible death. Every ball Of fancy yarn
the reason is that women have taken
to fancy knitting with a fury with
which almost no other fad has eyer
swept the country.
There should be yarn commission.
The extravagant use f bright colored
yarn should be made impossible. And
women should be made to realize that
knitting for themselves is as unpa-
triotic as prodigal feast in wartime.

JUST AN EXAMPLE
madison Democratl

Boys, learn a lesson from the career
Of w. A Hayes!
Some thirty years ago Hayes was a
young section hand-about the low
Hest labor on railway. Today he
is superintendent Of the Madison di-
vision of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway! Yet his rise is simply en-
Ough explained:
1t is due to fidelity to duty. Hayes
always was dependable-on the sec
ton, in the train service, wherever he
worked, whatever he did.
He never shirked.
He stuck to a task till it was finish
ed.
He cared naught for time or wealth
err
He was loyal, true, conscientious.
His superiors knew that when
Hayes was on the job the job would
be completed
He was industrious, determined, re-
sourceful
That's Hayes.
That's why Hayes rose from the
section.
That's why today Hayes is at the
head Of a great division.
And that's why, too, his case is a
lesson and
