MAN
DENIES RUMOR
SAYS COVERT AND McGILL HAVE
NOT DESERTED FROM
ARMY

A rumor has been in circulation
in Goldfield recently to the effect
that Leonard Covert and a boy
named McGill, who entered the
aviation corps of the army some
time ago, had deserted.
Both Covert and McGill were
Goldfield boys and the m is
said to have originated with friends
here who claimed to have heard
from them. 1t has also been said
that their pictures were seen post
ed in the local postoffice as desert
ers.
Jack Smith, the recruiting officer
now in Goldfield, has heard the
rumors since coming here and this
morning denied that there was any
truth in them.
Their pictures were seen
posted anywhere, for even had they
deserted, the government does not
have posted the pictures of desert
ers from the army.
The Tonopah recruiting office has
recent letters from both boys.
They are now at the recruiting
depot at Fort Mcdowell in San
Francisco bay and in the letters
sent to Tonopah they both express
themselves as being we'll pleased
with the army and go into consider
able detail in telling of their work
and the excellent treatment they are
receiving.
To date the Tonopah office has
SEN 80 men to the main office in
San Francisco for final examination.
Five of the 80 failed to pass the
examination and the remainder
have entered the service. All have
written to the Tonopah office and
to friends in Tonopah. In no in
stance has a letter contained a
word of complaint. All expressed
the greatest satisfaction.
Yesterday the recruiting officer
examined a number of applicants
for enlistment, but none could pass
the physical examination.

CHARLES SE|Tz
JOINS U.S.. ARMY
TWO OTHER YOUNG MEN SIGNI-
Fly INTENTION OF
JOINING

The latest Goldfield man to enter
the service of his country since the
call for recruits was made. is
Charles Seitz, an employee of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany framing mill, and well known
a few years ago as a ball player,
and for his interest in athletics.
Seitz is a graduate of George
town university and in his prime
was classed as one of the fastest
sprinters in the country. In his col
lege days he gained considerable
fame throughout the United States
for mis- ability as a short distance
runner.
For several years he was a valu-
able acquisition to athletic coaches
OF the Goldfield high school.
Seitz has been accepted for en-
listment through the Tonopah office
and will leave tomorrow morning
for Fort Mcdowell at San Francisco,
where he will receive preliminary
instruction before leaving for the
aviation training camp at San Diego.
Seitz chose what is at the present
time the most popular branch of
the army, the aviation corps.
Two other Goldfield young men,
Barton Kaufman and John Bracco,
have signified to Jack Smith, the
/ recruiting officer now in Goldfield,
their intention of joining the army.
Kaufman says that he intends to
enlist on May II in the aviation
corps and Bracco states that he
will enter the cavalry some time
next month.
Kaufman is a step-son of H.. M.
Barber and is employed as a hoist
man on the Kewanas mine. Brac-
co is employed at the Consolidated
Mines company assay office.
The recruiting officer states that
all three men are perfect physically
and will have no difficulty in pass
ing the final examinations at Fort
Mcdowell.
The recruiting officer will leave
tomorrow morning for Tonopah and
will return on Saturday to be pre-
sent at the loyalty demonstration.
In his absence men wanting to join
the army may do so through the
local post office or through the To-
nopah recruiting office.

J.. S. OFFICER
AFTER RECRUITS
WILL DISPLAY FLAGS AND
MAKE HEADQUARTERS IN
POSTOFFICE

Jack Smith, United States army
recruiting officer from the Tonopah
station, arrived in Goldfield today
and will remain for II week re-
cruiting for the army. He will dis
play flags and establish his head
quarters in the postoffice.
The San Francisco army head
quarters has expressed itself as well
pleased with the work of postmas-
ters and army recruiting Officers
in Nevada and of late recruiting Off
Gals in this state have been more
active and have produced better re-
suits in proportion to the popula-
ton than those of California.
Thus far in April, the San Fran
cisco district, of which Nevada is a
part, has averaged more than so
men a day and Nevada is doing all
that is expected of it.
The recruiting officer is anxious
to meet all Goldfield men who
want to join the army. He is
thoroughly familiar with all bran
ches of the service and is well equip
ped with information for prospec-
tive recruits.
1t is the present policy of the
war department to discharge from
service at the termination of the
war all men who have enlisted in
the regular army since the declara-
ton of war and who enlist now.
The requirements of maximum
age and educational qualifications
do not apply to enlistments for the
regular army in time of war. Re-
cruiting officers are authorized to
accept for the regular army appli-
cants under 40 years of age and to
accept applicants whom they deem
fit for military service without re-
gard to minor physical defects.
The army of the United States is
the pest fed, best paid and best kept
army in the world. The soldiers

cally, pleasure, or the accumulation

MARYSv|LlE NINE
HAS RICH MINERAL
CONSOLIDATED COMPANY UN-
COVERS VEIN OF ORE
HAVING WIDTH

What appears to be one of the
richest strikes made in the Marys-
Vile district for several years has
just been opened up by Robert
Kirk and associates on the Marys-
vile Consolidated, adjoining the
famous producer of high-grade ore,
owned by the Cattanhorn estate.
A new vein, fully five feet wide,
showing a solid face of ore carry
ing high values in silver and gold
has been discovered through de-
velopment in virgin ground and pre-
sent indications point to it as a
bonanza. Sinking and drifting
along and across the vein to the
wall disclosed high silver values and
it is believed further development
will show the ore shoot to be much
larger than now opened. Some of
the ore encountered is a high-grade
chloride and black iron sulphuret.
The rich vein was the first dis
covered last fall when Neikirk and
Scott, associates in the lease with
Mr.. Kirk, found the vein in a cross
cut tunnel driven to intersect a
porphyry dixie carrying high values
in gold.
Development was taken up in
in silver, by sinking a shaft fifty
feet in depth disclosing ore through
the entire depth. Another opening,
200 feet further west, a tunnel driv-
en- on the same vein, also exposed
the same grade of ore as that in
the shaft.
Extensive preparations are now
being made to extract a large and
steady tonnage from the prospects
and as soon as the now is off and
roads in condition, hauling, with
several teams to Battle Mountain
will be begun.
This remarkable strike will make
this district a future center of pro-
sumption of operations on other
properties.
The Milwaukee Nevada, another
property adjoining, is developing the
extension and indications show the
continuity of ore to extend into
their holdings and to be of the
same grade and quantity as that of
the Marysville Consolidated. Clark
and Storer, lesses on Block 2, have
opened up the same vein and devel-
opments have uncovered deposits of
ore similar to the original strike and
this encouragement has caused them
to increase their force of miners.
Thousands of tons of ore have been
extracted from this section, but
there still remains an area
unexplored and opportunities Tor
VOW discoveries are promising. TT

WANTED TO KNOW
AND He FOUND OUT
DISCOVERED THAT ARMY MAN
WOULD FIGHT FOR
FLAG

Jack Smith, recruiting officer
who is now in Goldfield, since COM
ing here has removed from one OF
his fingers a bandage. Connected
with the injured finger there is a
story that was widely published in
the papers of the state some weeks
ago and which at that time was
mentioned in the Tribune.
The injured hand came through
a difference OF opinion between the
recruiting officer and a Tonopah
a of a type that infests every
community regarding the flag that
hangs over the Tonopah recruiting
office.
The man scornfully pointed to the
flag and asked Smith if he would
fight for that" The nan entire
ly overlooked the fact that Smiths
occupation was fighting for the flag
when he was called upon to do SO
and his observation-disclosures brought
him to grief as the fighting blood
of the recruiting officer was arous-
ed and he proceeded to administer
a severe beating to the man who
would revile the flag.
After the smoke of battle had
cleared away a badly onesided vic
tory was revealed for the army a
He addressed his victim and point
ing to the flag, said, You can say
anything you like about me, but if
YOU say anything about the flag it
has to be something good"

Hw|GH-GRADE ORE
IN BOSS MINE
PLATINUM ORE RETURNS VAL
UES OF SEVEN DOLLARS
A POUND

The Boss mine madc shipment
of platinum ore this yeek in res
ponse to the demand for platinum
by a Los Angeles company. Eight
hundred pounds of the ore was sent
by express Thursday night and the
amount received by the company in
payment for the same was $500,
being at the rate of 81 per pound.
The shipment was accompanied by
Manager o. j. Fisk. The ore in
the shipment was the high-grade
platinum-gold ore in it's crude
state just as taken from the mine.
The new Boss mill is now run
ming steadily on the low-grade pla-
tinum-gold-copper ores and is prov
ing entirely successful, saving a
til the mill has been thoroughly
tested on the lower grades of ore,
it is not considered advisable to
run through any of the high-grade,
carrying platinum and gold in
value from $4,000 to $4,000 per
ton. There is a considerable amount
of this high-grade ore sacked and
safely under lock and key in one
of the drifts of the mine, and when
the time m to put it through
the mill the return will reach an
astonishing figure.
The Boss mine is a matter of in
terest and pride to every citizen Of
Clark county, being the only mine
known producing platinum from
ore in lode form. However, there
are several other properties near the
Boss which possess ore carrying
slight values in platinum and which
it is considered very probably, by
those best posted, will open high
grade Observation-Disclosures ores
of the same character as those Of
the Boss, when depth has been
reached.-Las Vegas Age.

at San Francisco.
