W. C. l. [. WILL STIMULATE
INTEREST IN 6AROENING

The fact that the Canon City
Womans Civic Improvement league
has employed a gardener to supervise
the cultivation of vacant lots and
waste places in the city during the
spring and summer months ought to
stimulate the people of the commupi.
ty to greater interest in both flower
and vegetable gardening. especially
among the boys and girls. The work
should be undertaken for two rea.
sons: To beautify the town and to
reduce the high cost of living.
The high cost Of potatoes. cabbages.
beans, etc. during the past winter
has been felt by every family in the
city and has taught housewives les
son that will be of value to them in
the future. The lesson has also been
learned by the children who have
in many cases been deprived OF the
usual amount of vegetables for food.
In encouraging the cultivation of these
products. nearly all OF which can be
grown here without much trouble, the
Civic Improvement league will be do
ing the public a great service. Such
work will inspire thrift. develop econ.
omy and industry. and at the same
time strengthen and develop civic
pride.
II is believed that many girls and
boys in Canon City will be willing to
plant flower and vegetable gardens
and cultivate them after they germin.
ate If a garden plot is made available
for them. All sorts of producing
plants and vines can be grown by
irrigation with proper cultivation and
from their supervision both pleasure
and profit can be obtained.
The cultivation of the soil appeals
TO all normal boys and girls. The
planting OF seeds and the growing Jf
crops has fascinating effect on the
human mind IL undertaken In homeo
pathic doses. Man began to be civ.
llized when he laid down the implc
ments of war and took up the spade
and hoe.
A characteristic promoted by the
cultivation of a garden plot by boys
and girls is the love OF ownership.
Acquisition of property is the motive
force in the modern business world
This principle is deeply imbedded N
the minds OF men. women and chill
dren.
Another thing inspired by garden.
ing is the spirit Of proprietorship and
Independence. Authority is something
that everybody loves to have and this
be possesses when he has something
OF his own. When boy is selected
to an office and badFe pinned upon
his coat II awakens his seItrespect
arouses his feelings of manhood and
touches the spring OF action. Every.
body loves Independence and TO be an
officer whenever the opportunity Of
fers. Both of these may be obtained
by the boys and girls OF Canon City
that will cultivate Tor themselves a
garden plot this summer.

AS citizen of your town, an Ameri-
can, and great sympathizer with the
American Red Cross and its work in

through the columns of your valuable

not appointed to collect funds for the
above organization in a systematic
manner? Complaints have been heard
that money was handed to strangers.
perhaps not authorized to collect, and
there are requests that in future a
list of names of those donating be

RICK STRIKE is REPORTED
IN OLD "GEM FIVE. MINE

A strike of ore assaying 780 ounces
silver and "a ounces gold to the ton
has been made on lease operated by
S. H. Crittenden on the Gem Five
Mines property, situated about twenty
miles south of Winnemucca. in the
Sunshine district Samples of the ore
brought to town show bromide, chlo-
ride and horn silver. The showing is
said to be excellent for big produc-
tion of ore, as the rich pay streak re-
Gently uncovered is about eight inches
wide in a larger vein carrying lower
values, considerable part of which
is thought to be of shipping grade.
George Farris has purchased a half
interest in the Crittenden lease and it
is understood that larger force of
men will be put to work Immediately
to develop the holding and extract ore
for shipment The Gem Five property
is owned by a company. the principal
stockholders of which are H. H. Shell
don, L. 0. Hawkins and C. T. Smith of
Winnemucca. Engineers Sheldon and
Crittenden left this morning for the
bonanza strike, with a party OF min
ing men.

RICH POSSIBILITIES
OF NEVADA SHALE

The announcement that commercial
oil can be produced from the oil shales
that exist in the State of Nevada has
started prospectors looking up these
deposits, and the number of places in
this northern section where the shale
can be found is surprising. Besides
the extensive deposits near Elko.
which have been known for years, and
in the Bullion Mountain section, de-
posits of oil shale have been found in
a number of places in Humboldt and
Lander counties and in the northern
part of Elko county. Samples which
have found their way to Winnemucca
recently show a high percentage of oil
and will burn if touched by a lighted
match. Other samples shown contain
patches of paraffin wax. From pres
ent indications this shale can be found
in almost any section of the northern
part of the State. 1t is beginning to
look as if there would be a boom in
Nevada shale as source of an un-
limited supply of crude oil.
Laboratory work of vast import
ance has been carried out by A. G.
Crane. who lately returned from
Washington, after comforting with
government chemists in the matter,
and from what has been given out
extensive plants for the extraction of
oil from shale will soon be in course
of construction. Others are expert
menting, and already small plant
has been started in the Elko section
AS far as can be learned, the recoy-
cry of crude petroleum from this
shale is a simple matter. and is vir-
tually beyond the experimental stage
Processes for getting values from the
residue, and the recovery of the more
volatile compounds, are not being
overlooked. One of the recent discov-
cries is the fact that shale oil makes
a most excellent binder for soil in
street and road improvement

AMBITIOUS YOUTH
SEEK WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, DC, November O.
To the young man or woman who
seeks college degree and liveli-
hood at the same time, no city in the
country offers an opportunity more
attractive than that to be found in
the national capital. The several uni
versities at Washington provide even
ing classes with hours arranged con-
veniently for government employees,
who ordinarily complete their days
work at half-past four, and all libra
ries, including the Library of Con
gress, are open at night
For years thousands of young peo-
pie have entered the civil service at
Washington with the main idea of de-
voting three or four years to equip
ping themselves for a professional or
scientific career while supporting
themselves. Many of the young men
live at fraternity houses, cooperative
ly conducted, thereby lessening their
living expense and also securing a
place where they can entertain their
friends.
In addition to the university courses
the Young Mems Christian Association
and private schools conduct evening
classes in technics, languages, ac-
countancy. stenography and typewrit-
ing, and the usual high-school studies
Notwithstanding the drafts for mill
tary service, practically all schools in
Washington show an increased enroll
ment this year. This is due to the
great influx incident to the war. Ten
or twelve thousand new clerks and
other employees have been appointed
in the departments. and this great
civilian army is being added to daily

BUCK DUANE SHOT
TO KILL BUCKAROO

There are so many good things tC
say regarding Zane Grey's new story
"The Lone Star Ranger" which is tc
be published in The Silver State soon
in serial form, that one hesitates when
seeking a starting point. Probably
many readers remember Riders OF
the Purple Sage" by the same author
which was so vivid a work, and Sc
true to life, that 1t was barred from
the public Libraries of Utah. Zane
Grey has done even better with his
present tale, which is of the Texas
border in the early '70s. He has been
for years accommodating material, and
he knows his "atmosphere"-no living
writer knows II better.
In the telling of the story of Buck
Duane. Ranger, there is never a dull
moment Intense interest marks every
chapter. and you fairly live through
each of the desperate adventures in
which Buck participates in his ult-
mately successful efforts to rid the
border OF its most desperate bank
breaking, cattle-stealing, train-rob-
bing crew. Buck is finally redeemed
to society by the love OF a woman, OF
conrse-trust to the fact that Harper
& Brothers copyright the story as a
sufficient earnest OF its literary excel
lence.
The idea of The Silver States In
securing the rights to publish this
great Wild West story at thu particu-
lar time is not only that 1t will be
enjoyed by present subscribers to this
newspaper. but that a short-time SUBJ
scription as a Christmas present to a

'sTHE CLODHOPPED," T0NIGHTS
PICTURE, "WENT BIG" IN CITY

Charles Ray, who demonstrated he
was no bush Lacquer in "The Pinch
Hitter" has further opportunity to
show his ability in 'The Clodhopper,' .
which is to be exhibited at the Ameri-
can theatre tonight. In this new Tri-
angle play by Monte NJ. Katterjohn. in
which Mr.. Ray is presented as star by
Thomas H. Ince, he shows his versa
tility as a dancer by stepping" his
way to success in a Broadway musical
revue. The scenes of the play are on
a New England farm and in New York
City. Elaborate settings are used to
represent the cabarets and gay restau-
rants that go to make up the New
York night life. Some of the most in
teresting scenes take place in thea
tire where a musical revue is being
produced. Ray, as a country bump
kin. makes the hit of the show. Among
those supporting him in the large cast
are Margery Wilson, Lydia Knott,
Charles French and Thomas Guise.

BONANZA Quartz
IN NATIONAL WORK

National Leasing shares at Satur-
days closing quotation on the New
York curb of eight cents, constitute a
speculation or gamble" of a class
such as seldom offered. The pur-
chaser of National Leasing shares Is
buying a chance to participate In the
development and potential rewards of
what may prove to be gold mine of
sensational proportions. Day by day
the chance looks better, says Rice's
Industrial and Mining Age.
The National Leasing Company is
now drifting on the fifth level of the
National mine toward National Leas-
ing ground. Consulting Engineer Ar
thur Feust telegraphed from the mine
last Saturday as follows: with only
about twenty feet more to drift to
reach the end line of the Charleston
Hill Gold Mining Company's property,
which we have under lease, feel very
optimistic as to the outcome of the
development work which we have un-
dertaken. The highly mineralized
character of the vein and the large
amount OF quartz showing in same
strengthens the belief which I have
previously expressed that somewhere
within the confines of the National
Leasing Company's ground we are
likely to encounter another bonanza
similar to that which m ade the Ma
tional mining district so famous about
eight or ten years ago.
"The character of the quartz is
identical with that in which the high
grade bonanza of the National Mines
Company was encountered. In a con-
versation with r. s. Bolam. former
superintendent CT the National Mines
Company in the bonanza days of the
property. he told me of encountering
pieces of hlgh-grade float about a
thousand feet to the south of our
north end line. Like myself. after
viewing the face which We are now
opening. he is of opinion that our
chances OF encountering high-grade
bonanza are excellent. Mr.. Bolan
pointed out to me the fact that prior
to striking the National bonanza the
vein assayed very few cents to only a
few dollars in gold and silver values.
the same as the values revealed by
the asays recently obtained in our
development work. A further encour-
aging feature is the existence of small
spots of glance, sulphide of silver and
ruby silver, the arsenide and antimo-
nide OF silver While these are not of
commercial importance, still they are
favorable indications in the National
Mining district. The high-grade ore is
always accompanied by the
sulphide of antimony in small quanti-
ties.
beginning with the first of the
month, when the drift on the 500-foot
level reaches our property, develop
ments of a sensational character may
be flashed over the wires at almost
any hour"

I expect to reach by the first of the

over the footwall. which we will strike
about the same time as we hit the line
and then follow. May strike high
grade ore with any round of shots.
Under date of October 26 Superinten-
dent Pfouts reported "The ground in
the face of the drift is highly mineral
lied. The face, on the hanging-wau
side is making water. which | con-
slider a good indication, as the water
follows the ore"
