FORBID ABUSE
OF RED CROSS
LAW PROHIBITS WRONGFUL
USE OF EMBLEM IN
ADVERTISING

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. T.
Because of the growing misuse of
the Red Cross emblem commercial
ly, the American Red Cross has
just issued a new warning to those
who may be violating the law re-
garding it. While much of this
misuse of the emblem is uninten-
tional and through excessive zeal,
the National Red Cross can no long
er acquiesce in these violations.
many of which nave been and are
of a serious nature.
Under the statute, the Red Cross
emblem a only be used by au-
thority. 1t cannot be used in the
manufacture or sale of Red Cross
buttons or pins except upon such
authorization. Many novelty manu-
featuring houses and stores, taking
advantage of the great increase of
popular interest in the Red Cross,
as well as the growth in member
ship to nearly 1000, 900, have put
on a large quantities of Red
Cross pins, postcards and devices
An equally common abuse has been
on the covers of patriotic songs and
popular magazines.
1t is the feeling of Red Cross Off
Gals that the Red Cross emblem
should be regarded much as the
flag is regarded. Under the law
and the Geneva international agree
ment, the emblem is set apart for
the work of relief and mercy. L
should not be used in any way to
detract from that high office. Its
use to stimulate the sale of maya
zines, songs, post cards, or other
articles under the guise of patriot
ism, therefore. should not be re-
garded as proper.
Provisions of the law are as fol
lows:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son, corporation, or association
other than The American National
Red Cross and it's duly authorized
employees and agents and the army
and navy sanitary hospital authori-
ties of the United States, for the
purpose of trade or as an advertise
ment to induce the sale of any arti-
Gle whatsoever or for any business
or charitable purpose. to use within
the territory of the United States
and its exterior possessions, the
emblem of the Greek Red Cross on
a white ground, or any sign or in
sigma made or colored in imitation
thereof, Or of the words Red Cross
or any combination Of these words"

NO PLANS FOR
MEAT CONTROL
HOOVER DECLARES PRICE FIN
ING OF MEATS NOT
PRACTICABLE

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. T.
Price-fixing for meat and dairy pro-
ducts has no place in the govern
ment's food control plans, Herbert
Hoover, the food administrator, told
the National Livestock conference.
Not only would it be inadvisable to
institute price fixing in these in
dustries, he declared, but the food
administration has been given no
such power.
AS long as there is a heavy de-
mand for meat with a decreased
production, Mr.. Hoover said. meat
prices will continue to soar The
hope of the food administration is
that 1t can stabilize quotations and
thus eliminate speculation.
81 cannot believe. there is a pan
acea for a situation or this kind"
and MI. Hoover. "Our problem is
to increase production. The best we
may expect is a slow development
towards the ends we seek. Drastic
control of packing plants with gov
eminent operation an alternative
will not work. We can administer
food control only through the CO.
operation of all interests concern

Although less than the lumber
expected, a big crowd was present

CON-. HAS
IMPORTANT STRIKE
VEIN YIELDS HIGH-GRADE AS
SAYS FOR "A GOOD
WIDTH

Important progress on the Hum
boldt Consolidated's La Toska mine,
located at the head of Wright's can
yon in the Humboldt range. Is re-
ported this week by the superintend-
ent. Ore ranging in assays from
good mill ore to high-grade shipping
ore is being taken out from a six
foot vein - the main vein which
was sought for six years and located
recently at the end of a tunnel more
than half a mile in length.
According to the superintendent,
the vein Is six feet in width, with
sharply defined walls, the hanging
wall of lime and the foot-wall of
rhyolite. This formation, he says, is
characteristic of the famous mines or
the Humboldt range which in the
early days produced the great wealth
which helped to build such fortunes
as that of Hearst and others that or
iginated in the Humboldt range.
The ore carries some of it's rich
est silver values in the Humboldt
range bromides, and is reported to
pan free gold with samples from any
part of the vein opened up so far.
The full force of men is being
worked on the property, piling up
the ore on the dumps until such
time as arrangements for the on
struction of a mill can be definitely
decided on.-LOvelock Review-Miner.

II NEAR CARSON

The first shipment of ore from
the mine operated by A. G. Meyers,
E.. G.. Upton and VIM. Sanford.
situated about two miles west o.
Carson City, was made Sunday. The
car of ore was consigned to the
State Assayer and Inspector at
Hazen and carries good value in
gold, silver and copper. This is
also the first shipment of ore that
las gone out of this county for
some time, but from present indi-
cations at this mine and several
others near here is but one of many
that will follow.-Carson News.

MANGANESE ORE
NOW IN DEMAND
WAR USES OF MINERAL CAUSE
HEAVY GROWTH IN
PRODUCTION

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Increas-
ing the supply of Manganese ore for
the American steel industry in the
war emergency is one of the prin-
cipal subjects to be discussed at
the 115th meeting of the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers
during the week of Oct. S to 10.
Promenent engineers from many
parts of the country will attend the
sessions, which are to be held in
mining districts of Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Oklahoma.
1t is impossible for the United
States to supply the steel industry
with enough manganese If the lre-
sent practice of using manganese is
maintained. This is the word which
d. F. Hewett of the United States
Geological Survey has given the in
stitute. AS a result, the institute
officials have informally issued a
call for the some 5000 members
to present suggestions for methods
of using these ores.
This is only one of the subjects
in connection with the develop
ment of the country's mineral re-
sources for greater war service that
is to be presented at the mining en-
gineers' meeting. An effort will be
made along several lines to CO.
operate with the government and
the mining interests with the expec-
tation of increasing production,
conserving the present supply and
improving the methods of using the
country's minerals.
There was only two shippers of
Manganese ore in the United States
in 1913 and last year this number
had grown to So. This year the
rate of production is about three
times that of last year and certain
states have increased their output
to five times that of 1916. Even
with this increase it Is stated that
the war demand already calls for
a greater increase in production.
Manganese is chiefly found in Mon
tana. Virginia. Arkansas and Cali
fOrnia.

Indian Trouble Feared

AS a result of the high cost of
living and higher wages paid in the
hayfields as compared with wages
paid on the Lovelock police force,
local Indians are enjoying a period
of unprecedented freedom. An In
dian policeman who has preserved
order for a number of years, has
severed his connection with a $50
per month job on the force to work
in the fields and the Indians are
roaming the streets and getting into
trouble. A Piute celebration to be
held next week is looked forward
to with apprehension. A capable
policeman is being searched for to
handle the Indians.

RICH TERRITORY no BE
WORKED UNDER LEASE

George w. Eggler. owner of the
Rainbow group, has leased the prop
erty to Brown and Smith, who are
now engaged on the property.
This ground has had many OWL
ers. Some years ago 1t vas accu-
pied by our old friend John McClan-
ahan. now deceased, who formerly
lived at Sandy. He kept up his own
ership by annual assessment work
for some years. Then it was known
as the Big Spread. John got tired
and wanted a partner to help him
along in the annual expenditure, so
he wished a part of it onto Harry
Riddall, then assayer and chemist
for the Keystone mine. Together
they spent money on assessment
work, but finally both got tired and
they let it go back to Uncle Sam.
George Eggler came along and
saw ore scattered all over the hill,
and he located it, changing the name
from Big Spread to Rainbow. That
name is certainly appropriate, no
alone because of the varied colOrs of
the different ores, but Of the legend
that gold could be found at the end
of the cloud photograph known as
a rainbow, and such has beer prov
en- on this particular piece of ground.
George went to work and took out
and shipped many dollars worth Of
ore, and there is more in sight

ON GEM

S. H. Crittenden, a Winnemucca
surveyor, has taken a lease on a
block of ground at the Gem mine,
20 miles south of Winnemucca, and
has taken lumber out to make a

tenden and H. H. Sheldon, one of
the owners of the mine, were doing
some work IN the property, they
struck a nine-inch streak of ore
which assays 1872 ounces in silver
and $40 in gold. Crittenden i'm
n.ediately took a lease. The Gem
is one of the old mines which pro-
duced heavily years ago. 1t is be-
ing worked now OF a small scale
by a local company, and an occa>

GOOD ORE EXPOSED
At GOLD MOUNTAIN
TO TONOPAH TO BE
ASSAYED

H. ID. King, who owns the Jew
and Jewess claims in the Gold Noun
tain district, yesterday received re-
turns from an assay he had made of
some of the ore from his ground and
it's value much surpassed his expec-
tations. The sample he had tested
at the Tonopah assay office return
ed a value of $1O.93 per ton in sill
yer. A specimen of the ore which
was shown about town by Mr.. King
created unusual interest and he has
received several requests for leases
on his ground.
The King property joins the James
Grimes property or the west and
the ledge from which Mr.. King re-
ceiped the returns mentioned has
been traced across the two claims.
Two weeks ago Mr.. King had ore
assayed which he had taken from
the surface and found that it was
worth 1925 per ton. The ore treat
ed yesterday was extracted at a
depth of six feet and at that point
the vein was found to be eight inch
es wide. 1t is believed that it will
widen with further depth and will
increase in value.
James Grimes, who has been work
ing ground in the Gold Mountain
section for over II years. has been
doing some work on Mr.. Kings
claims. He said yesterday that he
considers the King ground one of
the best prospects in that section

As i gazed far and near at Natures fair sight,
And the siIvery streams, with their cadence, that foam
Through the vale of AvOca, l once called my home.
Ger the ocean 1 sailed, to the land Of the free,
And now l am proud a true subject to be;
I'd fight for Old Glory, through thick and through thin,
I'd march with brave Pershing his battles to win.

Could 1 march right along with the flag of the free;
The one flag, the true flag, the greatest of all,
That flies DER the trenches at freedoms loud call.

FIRST GROUP
EN- ROUTE
To CAMP
OFFICIALS AND CITIZENS
PARADE TO DEPOT

Esmeralda county's contribution
to the national army went north to
American Lake Friday morning, two
Americans and one Serbian, al
though Serbia furnished two of the
men, Dobro and Mijuskovich both
having been born there. Mijusko-
vich is not a citizen of this country
and has entered the army, accord
ing to himself, to secur revenge
for a lost wife and children in Ser
bia, from whom he has not heard
since the start of the war and who
he is convinced have been killed by
the Austrians.
The party is in charge of Ber-
nard Gaffney, who, under instruc-
tons from the exemption board, at
tends to the transportation and will
see that necessary regulations are
complied with on arrival at Ameri-
can Lake.
Members of the exemption board,
county officials and a big turnout
of citizens followed the contingent
and Eagles band to the train on
foot and in automobiles and the
three men, none of them having
relatives here, were given a send
front of the Goldfield hotel, where
the men had breakfast, before 6
o'clock.
AS the contingent was about to
board the train each member was
given a kit made by a member of
the Junior Red Cross. In each kit
is a card with the name of the
yOung-lady maker, but all the kits
made by the Junior Red Cross hav-
ing been shuffled and these three
picked from them, the makers of
the three that were presented to
the departing boys this morning are
unknown and will not be known un-
less the recipients write from Amer
ican Lake.
Members of the contingent were
busy yesterday and last night bid
ding goodbye to their trends and
arranging their personal affairs. Do
bro recently sold his interest in a
profitable restaurant to enter the
army and Gaffney abandoned a pos
ition in the office of the Cracker
Jack Mining company. Mijuskovich
has been employed at Millers in a
good position.
OF all the foreign-born men who
appeared before the exemption
board he and Eli j. Lucich, another
Serb, were the only two to volun-
teer their services and since being
examined Mijuskovich has been an
xious to leave for the training
camp.
When he vas telephoned to at
Millers and asked if he would go
he answered, you bet 1 will CO."
and before leaving this morning he
thanked each member of the exemp-
ton board for sending him with the
first contingent.
Perhaps the great feature of the
parade to the depot was Gaffney's
perfect imitation of the famous
German army goose STEP as he
rounded the corner at Cooks bank.
