The Midway Consolidated was the
only mine in the Tonopah district
which was able to continue on it's
regular way during the period in
which there was not power. This
was because the old shaft is equip

Ieasers in this portion of the COM
pany's ground were able to report
at their various blocks. and by rea-
sen of the fact that connections were
made within recent weeks between
the old and new workings. it was
possible to keep apprized of condi-
tions at the latter portion of the

BUT SHE'S OUT AGAIN.

A IL day long fair Emma sits in her
II little whitewaShed cell; for
time she'll throw no fits, urging
hoboe, to rebel For a time She boost
no cause, and she will denounce no
foes; and her gutta percha Jaws will
enjoy an earned repose In the palmy
DAYS OF peace she went shreking DER the
plain, saying government should cease
and that anarch should reign. When
the dove of peace is near, floating on its
downy wings, we don, care what rot we
hear anfEw grin at Emma's filings.
When the sword is in its sheath. and
we are not called to fight, foolish freaks
may grind their teeth cussing every
thing in sight All the cranks may
whoop and rant, with their whiskers
wet with foam, may for wreck and ruin
pant till the brindled cows come home.
When the sounds OF war arise. and the
tide of battle rolls, all the cranks, il
they were wise, would proceed to hunt
| their holes In time OF blood and fire.
when the youth to battle fares, all the
windsmiths should retire to their divers
mouldy lairs Emma thought she'd rant
and yell just as in the times of peace;
~ her little whi,ewaShed cell she is
using elbow grease.

cling distance 10 the bases and the con
gestion OF the submarines into one dock

Any impartial observer OF the war moves
will agree with my conclusion i he studies
casually the lessons OF the battle OF the
Somme First let me call your attention
to the fact that the British, in their three
major battles of 1917, have shown an in
Creasing superiority over the enemy in air
supremacy, in artillery weight and ac-
curacy, and in the morale Of the individual
foot slogger
The new British army went into the bat
tie of the Somme in 1910 an untried mil
lion Of trained troops In the battle of
the SOmme between the first OF July and
the first Of November the British pene
trated a depth of nine miles at the farthcst
advanced point in the vicinity OF Bapaume
In the first five days OF the attack the
British captured 5000 prisoners. In the
first day OF their attack they did not reach
more than half OF their objec,ves and were
stalled at the first line at Thiepval and
elsewhere between Maricourt and the
! Ancre
| Now let's take view of the Flanders
front to get the pictures into a position
where you can make some reasonable de-
ductions. The Flanders front in the first
days fighting is on twice the amount OF
battle line British held, as in the Somme
struggle As in last years smash the
attack is on positions that have been
