ESCAPE OF CHANG is CUT OFF
WHEN PEKING IS SURROUND.
ED by REPUBLICAN

TROOPS

London, July 12-Peking Is sur
rounded by 10000 Republican troops,
Telegraph dispatch from Tien-Tsin
dated yesterday says,
This force makes impossible the es-
cape from the capital of General
Chang Hsun, the Imperiallst leader.
Chang's soldiers are reported to be
entrehching themselves in the Imper-
ial City.
General Chang Hsun, replying to a
request from the foreign diplomats
that he disarm his troops, said II
would be impossible to do 1t at pres
ent, as his men feared they might be
massacred. He said 1t would be pos
sible to give the assurances desired
in two or three days, when conditions
became calmer,
General Change declared he did not
intend to endanger the foreign lega-
tons and would not fight unless the
republicans fired on him.
Medlators apparently have been I'M
able to arrange terms between the
Republicans and Imperialists up to the
time the dispatch was filed.

POULTRY SHOULD Be CHEAP
A Surplus Of Nutritious Food Is Avail.
able II Retailers VIII Take
Small Profits.

Washington, d. c. July PA pres
ent congestion in the frozen poultry
market, shown by figures of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
can be relieved If the retail dealers
will handle the goods at a reasonable
advance over wholesale prices. This
action would make poultry available at
prices comparing favorably with other
meats according to the findings of
conference just held here between
wholesale poultry distributors and Of
ficials of the Department of Agricul-
ture. Both parties to the conference
say that more poultry should be eaten
when the facts are understood by the
consumer; and an increased use of
poultry now, in the opinion Of the de-
partment, will tend to conserve other
meats which are of more Importance
to Americans and their allies in Eu-
rope. The retailers, as we'll as whole
salers, it is pointed out, should aid IN
relieving the congestion.
Broiling chickens are especially
abundant and those of prime quality
sold in June on the wholesale market
in New York at an average price of
% cents a pound. A year before the
average price was 81 cents during the
same month. There are unusually
heavy holdings of dressed poultry in
cold storage. Unless these stocks are
moved quickly, farmers who have in
creased this years focks In response to
a patriotic appeal will not have nor
NAL marketing conditions when their
surplus comes on the market.
The parties to the conference agreed
that the storage supplies Of poultry In
the summer Of 1916 were unusually
low because Of small original hold
ings and large export demands. This
resulted in unusually high prices to
producers during the fall and winter
of 1915. The supply was Unexpectedly
heavy and large stocks we're stored at
high prices. Then export demands fell
off, the wave of economy affected the
home demand, and the storage stocks
moved slowly. The net result, accord
ing to the department, is that almost
everybody ought to enjoy chicken din
ners now at decidedly reduced prices,
and without feeling that they ere
using up needed meat supplies. In
short, 1t is said to depend on the re-
tailers whether cheapter chickens will
be available. ~

AVIATION BILL GIVEN APPROVAL

Washington, July 12-The admins
tration's aviation bill, carrying ap-
preparations of $64O,OOO,OOO was re-
ported favorably by a unanimous vote
tonight from the House Military Com
mittee. At the request of the war de-
partment, no details of the proposed
construction are outlined in the meas
ure and debate on it will be restricted
to general terms when it comes up
Saturday.
Secretary Baker and French, Brit
ish and Italian aviators appeared be-
fore the committee in executive ses-
sion today and urged the immediate
necessity of augmenting the air forces
OF the allied nations.
Passage of the bill Saturday seems
assured unless members of the ap-
preparations committee oppose the ap-
preparation section.

EVERY STATE IN UNION TO
SEND LOGS FOR BIG BONFIRE

To celebrate the Liberty Loan the
government is going to stage bon
fire on the Capitol grounds at Wash
ington, DC, upon the conclusion of it's
successful subscription; and Nevada,
in common with all other states, will
contribute a log or piece of timber
to the giant pile that will be given
over to the flames.
Word to this effect has come to the
local Liberty Loan committee, together
with the information that a piece of
timber will probably be selected from
the underground workings of the
Comstock mines to serve as the fuel
contribution of this State. All states
have joined heartily in the spirit of
this big night celebration to be held
at the national capital, and, like Ne
vada, most of them will probably send
timber with significance peculiar to
their history.

TUESDAYS BLAZE
AT Vance RARCH

A disastrous fire occurred at Mrs.
John Vanee's ranch, six miles from
McDermitt, Tuesday forenoon, when
her residence, another house, garage
and other buildings were burned TO
the ground. The ranch is under lease
to Joe Bankofier and George Wilkin-
son. The former, with his family,
was occupying the ranch house, Mrs.
Nance's house being unoccupied.
The fire started in one of the back
rooms in the house occupied by the
Bankofier family and, it is presumed,
was started by one of the children
playing with matches. Every effort
was made to control the blaze. but TO
no avail, as a strong wind was blow
ing and the flames soon reached Mrs.
Vance's residence and the other build
ings, which were all destroyed, with
their contents.
Mrs. Vance's residence was one of
the finest in the northern part of the
county and was built only a few years
ago. 1t was a modern house and ex-
pensiyely furnished. Mrs. Vance is
now in Los Angeles, California. hav-
ing gone there some time ago by auto
on a vacation trip. 1t Is not known
whether the houses were insured.

NATIONAL LEASING
DROPS TO 6 Cents

REPORTS received at the New York
office of the National Leasing Com
many at the end of the week state1
that drifting along the National vein
from the fifth level OF the National
mine toward National Leasing ground
is progressing steadily. The work
ings are now about los feet from the
boundary line between the two prop
critics and are still in quartz identical
to that accompanying the bonanza ore
bodies of the National mine. Engineer
Elmer Pfouts reported during the
week that the vein is heavily mineral
ized and gives early promise of de-
yeloping an ore shoot.
In the worst stock market that has
been experienced in years, National
Leasing sold down on the curb to six
cents a share and had final at eight
cents. The stock has been spilled by
weak holders who were unable to
protect their transactions in all
grades of Stock Exchange and curb
securities. and has been passing into
strong hands. II has been picked
up eagerly by bargain hunters. There
are plenty of these who do not forget
what happened in Old Emma Leasing
when ore was first struck. This stock
was selling at 10 cents a share and
jumped to SO cents on news of the
discovery of the first ore body. A
remarkable feature of the situation
in National Leasing is that every
share of the company's treasury stock
which has been underwritten, and
from the sale of which funds at the
rate of $1,000 per month are being
used for development work. is net

purpose of National Leasing Company
to explore thoroughly the entire vein
as far as it is found to extend into
National Leasing ground. When II
is remembered that the gold ore found
in the National mine ran in value
from $40 to 500 a pound, and that the
vein which extends 700 feet into Ma
tional Leasing ground has been judi
cially determined to be the same as
that from which these enormous val
ues were extracted. 1t becomes appa-
rent that National Leasing shares
hold speculative potentialities of the
most alluring character. The opening
up Of a single ore shoot such as yield
ed the famous National high-grade
should send this stock up to dollars
per-share.
