MAKES GOOD IN
TUNGSTEN MINE
BIG COMPANY QUITS
PROPERTY

Ted Mackedon, n of the origin
al discoveries of the Ragged Top
group of tungsten claims, near
Lovelock, is reported about to rear
a rich harvest as a result of opera
lions he is conducting on the prop
erty abandoned last spring by the
H. M. Byllesby company's Hum
boldt County Tungsten company.
When that company abandoned
the property, Mackedon declared
that there was profitable ore if the.
would but develop farther, but they
let their bond and lease slide, ant
stopped operations at the mine.
Mackedon, when the property re-
verified to the original owners, leas
ed the interest of his partners, and
put a crew at work at various parts
of the property which had see
some development work. That was
several months ago.
Reports from the property today
show that he is taking out an aver
age of SO tons a day, some running
fairly we'll up in tungstic acid con
tent, and averaging in the neighbor-
hood of one per cent and over, &C
cording to the returns from the con-
c%antrating plant at Toulon, which
he is keeping busy on the product
of his claims.
Through the company which for
merly operated on the property, and
which is still operating the concen-
trating plant at Toulon, he is sell
ing his concentrates at the market
price of around $26. His figures
show that the cost of mining, haul
ing and milling his ore amounts to
SIP a ton, leaving him with the
difference on fifty tons of ore a day
as his profit for sticking with the
project after a million-dollar com
pany decided to quit.-Reno Ga

BACK ORE SHIPMENTS

A disabled engine on the Nevada
Short Line is causing considerable
delay to shippers in the Rochester
district, according to j. r. Hunter,

j. S. NOW IN NEED

PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 10. =
Now that Uncle Sam has the young
men of the country in training for
military service, he finds that he
needs 10000 typewriter operators
and stenographers and typewriters,
both men and women, for the depart
ments at Washington. The civil
service commission has notified all
of it's 5000 boards of examiners that
they should put forth their best eff
forts to secure these urgently need
ed workers.
While examinations are held week
ly in $50 cities, the commission
states that arrangements will be
made to have an examination held at
any accessible place where a small
class of applicants can be secured.
The entrance salaries range from
$1,000 to $1,000 a year. Promo
ton is reasonably rapid to those
whose services prove satisfactory.
No appointments can be made to
these or other positions in the fed
eral classified service unless au-
thrized by the civil service commits
sion under the civil service law.
ANY information to the contrary is
unauthorized. This is a splendid OPP
p~ortunity to serve your country. Full

WASTE Of COAL
TO Be AVOIDED
EVERY POUND OF
FUEL

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. H.
THE householder must realize that
when he throws a %shovelful of an
thracite coal into his furnace its
value is equivalent to half a pound
of sugar, or half a loaf of bread, or
half a pint of milk"
This is the manner in which Van
H. Manning, director of the bureau
of mines, department of the interior.
endeavored to impress the state as
~sistants of the fuel administration
with the necessity for the economi-
cal use of fuel. The state deputies
had been called together in Wash
ington> by DR.. H.. A. Garfield, the
fuel administrator, for a family
council concerning the urgent work
to be taken up in each state.
1.-The householder must, therefore.
appreciate that it is now worth while
to examine his house and to overhaul
his heating equipment" continued
Mr.. Manning. Weather strips, dou-
BILE windows, pipe coverings, clean
flues and chimneys. and tight fit
tings in ash pits, doors. hampers
and furnace parts will all pay.
Damper control is one of the chief
secrets of economical heating. Clean
heating surfaces are most essential.
as SCOT is a poorer conductor of heat
than asbestos. Care, attention and
taking pains will be the greatest fac
tors in saving domestic coal"
Mr.. Manning said hat about 20
per cent of the coo, 100000 tons of
coal mined in the United States Is
used for house heating and that 1t
is shoveled by more than 100000
people.
Americans have been as wasteful
of coal as of other resources" con-
tinued Mr.. Manning, largely be-
cause coal has been abundant. To
many consumers it has seemed
hardly worth while to give time and
thought to the saving of coal. Con-
ditions have suddenly changed. To-
day it is everybody's business to save
coal. Coal is the foundation stone
of industry. Without it the produc-
tion of equipment for war must
halt.
Zone mans careless and wasteful
use may mean an idle factory or a
cold house for his neighbor. With
the world looking to us largely for
it's coal supply, with increased de-
mands at home, with a scarcity of
available labor, with over-taxed
transportation facilities. the con-
m of coal must pause and give
serious consideration to the problem
which confronts the country"

Kuhl Trial Nearly Ended

The trial of Ben Kuhl, charged
with the murder on Dec. 5 of Fred
Searcey, a Jarbidge stage driver, Is
drawing to a close at ElkO. Seven
teen days have thus far been con-
sumed IN the trial, which is n of
the most noted in the history of
Elko county. The cost of the trial
is heavy because of the large num-
Der of witnesses and the distance
of the scene of the tragedy from
the county seat. The total cost is
estimated at $1,000. The trial of
two alleged ~accomplices is to fol-
low that of Kuhl.

one from Maurice Bair:
Camp Lewis, Oct. 18th, 1917.

most all the Goldfield bunch, and
they showed US the town. They

money collected in Goldfield as
a good will offering amounted to
$14.75 each.
There are about fourteen fell
lows in a here, a very large
room, and the air Is good. We
have plenty of bed clothing.
Last night l had two fine blan-
kets and a quilt. Cannot kick
so far at anything, and If 1t is
as good as this all the time, be-
lieve me l will never kick. In
fact if l had realized that 1t was
like this, l would never have

Il had about three hours kit

Another boy and l were sent into
the store room to unpack grub.
and from the following you can
canned milk, syrup, dried prunes.
apples, rolled oats. sugar, flour,
extracts, cheese, and a hundred
other articles. For supper to-
night we will have, steak, French
fried potatoes, bread, apple sauce,
coffee, and a few other things. At
meals, we get all we can possibly
eat. AS fast as a platter is
emptied in front of us, it Is filled
again at once. The boys say that
sometimes the food is not as good
as at other times, (even mothers
was like that, but so far every
thing has been fine.
Saw Bob Dobro, and he looks
swell, in fact all the boys look
fine. They make us take a bath
in the cold twice a week. Tell
any of the boys who might come,

I'VE can go to Tacoma by street

worked us hard enough to tire
us out-about three hours work,

BETTER FOR WOMEN
New 9-Hour Working Girls Law Goes
in Effect Tomorrow.

Saturday marks the opening of a
new era for the working girl in Kan
sas The new 9-hour day law, re-
Gently ordered by the industrial well
fare commission, is effective tomor-
row for the first Saturday since its
passage All mercantile houses en-
ploying women must be closed by 8
o'clock or be subject to fine of not
more than 500, according to this
law No woman employe can work
more than ten consecutive hours and
not later than O'Clock.
Many of the merchants in Topeka
have displayed signs this week al
nouncing their intention of closing
their stores at o'clock, which just
makes the ten hours allowed by the
commission for Saturdays business.
Other stores have arranged to have
their women employees report for
morning when business is slow and
work an hour or more later in the
afternoon or evening.
Mercantile houses all over the state
have expressed their willingness to
comply with the order. They say
that the only hard thing about it is that
the consumers object to such early
closing. To help the dealers out of
this difficulty the. women of Atchison
have resolved not to shop later than 6
o'clock and further not to trade with
a dealer that keeps open after that
hour Women's clubs of Hutchinson
and Wichita have passed similar
resolutions.
Hotels, restaurants and cafes do
not come under the ruling. But the
commission is working on a similar
order for these establishments. The
investigating board will be appointed
next week.
