YER|NGTON NTH.
OPENS Up ORE
PRODUCT WITH HIGH COPPER
CONTENT Is NOW BEING
EXTRACTED

A most creditable production is
being made from the mines of the
Yerington Mountain Copper COM
pany, with prospects bright Tor the
output being augmented froi1
month to month until the holdilss
will be developed into n nf the
heaviest shippers to be found in
this section of the state.
John G. Kirchen, general mar
ager of the company, stated yester-
day that the shaft had been IN.
watered down to the 165-foot level
and that drifting was being prose-
cuted to the south with highly sat
isfactory results.
Efforts are being centerei IN
lifting the water in the shaft be-
low the 165 level, and it is expect
ed that the 200 level will be reach
ed within a comparatively short
time. At that time the scope of
operations will be enlarged with a
view of increasing the production.
The shaft of the Yerington
Mountain copper mines has \ lorth
of 300 feet, and as soon as he
point it is quite probable that sink
ing will be started, in addition to
extending the drifts from the two
upper levels. There is a vast area
e highly mineralized terri o"y 20
BE- tt'.ored ard to that chi the
IL ,i.agement of the coma;ny is
ben'irg it's energies with a vicv f
developing a property that tili
maintain a steady and heals pro-
duction for a long term of years.
On the 165-foot level, where a
production averaging around 500
tons of copper ore is maintained
monthly, veins of ore are exposed
II at have a width in places of so
feet. The ore appears in bedding
planes of lime, and the showing
now being made on the level in
question carries values of Z per
cent in copper, while the average
values received from the market
ing of the product from the various
workings bring returns averaging
5 per cent.
The physical condition of the
property is all that could be ask
ed. With comparatively little de-
velopment the mines have develop
ed into substantial producers, but
the next few months promise to
witness the workings being placed
in condition whereby the output
will be substantially increased, all
of which is bound to result in the
treasury of the company being
greatly enhanced.-Tonopah Times.

FLAG is TORN DOWN

Some time during last night the
flag that has been hanging over the
sidewalk in front of Mrs. G.. n.
Bevan's store on Columbia street
was torn down. The flag was rip
ped from it's ~fastenings and carried
away. 1t was evidently not taken
by anyone wanting the flag as the
bunting was torn along the canvas
edge, which was left hanging from
the wooden awning to which the
flag had been attached. 1t is evil
dent that the act was done with
malicious intent and iIrs. Bevan
has offered a reward of $50 for
information that will lead to the
arrest of the guilty person.

satisfactory results. Raise No. |.
which was started from "P" stope
has encountered the faulted se"-
ment of the vein for which it was
prospecting, and has during the
week developed it to a width Of 6

medium grade. Success was also
achieved in running the intarme-
diate east drift from "A" stope,
though not in so great q mea sura

The last shipment from the
West End Consolidated mill has
been we'll up to the average OF the
past few months. when the button

averaged around $4,000. The

bars, weighing 55,S51 ounces, were
shipped to the smelters. At the
prevailing prices for silver. the
shipment is worth in the neighbor-
hood of $5O.265.9O.
Mining operations at he Rescue
are being carried on in the usual
efficient manner. and about $50
tons of exceptionally good ore are
being sent to the mill each week.
The winze that is being sunk from
the ~1050-foot level is down 90 feet
and is descending on 6 feet of good
ore. The vein at this point is very
flat, being only about so degrees

OPEN CAMPAIGN
FOR RED CROSS
TO RAISE BIG FUND FOR
SOCIETY

Red Cross Week, from June /"
tc IS, has been set aside by Pres'-
dent Wilson in formal proclamation
as the period in which the nation
will devote itself to raising $780,
OOO, 900 for the comfort and RELIEF
of the country's fighting men, tie
sick and wounded, as well as de-
pendent families of enlisted mon
ard destitute non-combatants.
Despite the many calls upon the
patriotic for financial assistan; -
this campaign for the Red Cross Is
already assured the magnificent
support it will need to carry. Brisk
preliminary work on the part of
the western campaign committee
has enlisted the most powerful and
influential men in all the large
centers. Secretary Joseph Tumulty
in behalf of President Wilson, has
wired to hundreds of prominent
men throughout the west and has
received from them enthusiastic as
surances of support.

ready in San Francisco, Los An
geles and Portland, and Denver and
Wichita will be visited and organic
ed before the trip ends. John b.
Miller, of a Los Angeles gas cor
poration, is chairman of the west
ern committee, and, working with
him r such representative men as
William H. Crocker, of San Fran
cisco; Lawrence C. Phipps, Sr., of
Denver; Henry L.. Corbett, of Port
land; Charles E. Peabody, of Seat
tie; George c.. Taliferro, of San
Antonio and Ford Harvey, of Kan
sas City. The western headquar-
ters are at the Palace Hotel in
San Francisco, with Lyman L..
Pierce, executive secretary and
Richard r. Perkins, associate sec
rotary.
Military and civilian relief at
home and abroad" is the slogan
of the campaigners for this i'm
mense sum of money. 1t means
that the appeal will be to all citi-
zens because all citizens, either di-
recently or indirectly, will be vitality
affected.
THE best way in which to i'm
part the greatest efficiency and
energy to the relief work, which
this war will entail" says President
Wilson. in discussing his creation
of the Red Cross war council, will
be to concentrate it in the hands
of a single, experienced organiza-
ton as the public instrumentality
for such purposes. =
Indeed, such a concentration of
administrative action in this matter
seems to me absolutely necessary.
and l hereby earnestly call upon
all who can contribute either great
sums or small to the alienation of
the suffering and distress which
must inevitably arise out of this
fight for humanity and democracy.
to contribute to the Red Cross.
1T will bc one of the first and
most necessary tasks of the new
war council of the Red Cross to

support of the work to be done

hope that the response to their eff
forts will be a demonstration of
the generosity of America and the
power of genuine practical sympa-
thy among u people that will
command the admiration of the
whole world"
Inspired by the appeal of the ma
tons chief executive and head of
the national Red Cross. workers in
every city in the union are being
organized to make the campaign
week an effective money-raising
event. Teams are being trained to
handle the details of this stupen-
dous for the hundred mil
lion. West of the Mississippi, it is
expected to raise at least 15,OOO,-
900 and already signatures have
been secured to substantial checks
which will give the campaign a
powerful stimulus when it opens
on June IS.

patience of a Job and the diplomacy

maker is indeed a hard one and
there is always a bomb under his

the atmosphere about Jack MCGEE
became blue.
According to MCGEE, when a
fight between Meehan and Dempsey
was about to be arranged for June
Is. Harry Grier came over from
Tonopah with tickets for the Sal
vatore-Mathews contest. MCGEE
states that in a conversation be-
tween himself and Grier the latter
at that time agreed that if McGee
would abandon his plans for a
Meehan-Dempsey fight to conflict
with the Mathews-Salvatore late
he would give to McGee his choice
of dates on or about July 4. Nc
Gee says that in a conversation he

PREPAREDNESS VERY
 IMPORTANT THING IN
 PLEASURE MOTORING

Preparedness in all things has be- come more or less of a by-word, but the motorist who enjoys his Sunday tour or occasional vacation trip which takes him away from his home garage and the automobile supply houses where he is known, always finds it eXpedient to go prepared to make a few simple repairs on his tires should emergency call for his services. In order to be ready for anything the thoughtful motorist is bound to pro- vide himself with a well equipped kit of sundries and repair material. This kit should include such articles as emergency patches for casing and tube, valve insides, cement and tape.
 Such kit is never expensive and many motorists say they are well re paid for their investment by the as surance and peace of mind which they derive from the knowledge that they are ready for anything.
 An official of the Fisk Rubber Com pany advises every motorist to carry a sundry kit in his car at all times. In recommending this he suggests a situation which is likely to occur with any motorist even though he is one who carries a spare tire mounted and ready for instant use. Supposing a car picks up a nail and the driver is obliged to call his spare into action, it is quite possible that there might be another nail somewhere further along the road, and if he should be so unfortunate as to pick up the second nail also, he would find himself with one tire flat and no additional spa ? available.
 In such a case there would be noth- ing for him to do except roll up his sleeves and change his tire right there on the roadside. With no additional tube available, his only recourse would be to make temporary repairs on one
 of the punctured tubes. Right there is where the sundry kit proves its value. An emergency tube patch costing only a cent or two would en- able him to repair the injury tempor- arily and continue on his journey after only a slight delay. The moral is, provide your car with an adequate sundry kit and you will always be equipped to enjoy motoring to the full.

MOVING TROOPS ID
 BE GIGANTIC TASK

Plans for the movement of over a million men, the largest troop move ment in thehistory of the country, are now being perfected by the American Railway association at the request of the United States government. AL together, 6S7,000 men will have to be transported to the various canton ments now building to house the new national army, and 350,0OO national guardsmen are even now being as- sembled at their camps.
 This was the announcement made by c. J. Mcdonald, who, as general agent of the western department headquarters of the association, is perfecting the details.
 "The movement will start Septem- Der B." said Mcdonald. Between that date and September 9, the roads will complete the entrainment of 20O,- 900 men,, or about thirty percent of the total to be moved to the camps.
 "It is expected that a second move ment of another 100000 will begin on September 19, continuing for four days thereafter; and a third move ment of the same size will start on October2.
 "An idea of the task in making out schedules that will guarantee the safe and prompt transportation of these armies may be gleaned from the fact that, to move merely one field army of 8O,O00 takes 6,229 cars, made up into 366 trains, with as many loco motives and crews. And there are over twelve times as many men con- cerned in the plans we are now work ing out.
 "We have also asked for transpor- tation to carry the 350,O00 members of the national guard to their train ing camps. The national guard move ment has already started and will continue in increasing volume until all have been moved.
 Shippers and receivers of freight have been appealed to by the car ser vice commissions, and can greatly help if they will cooperate with re- spect to commercial freight, keeping

URGES ALL ID PAY HOMAGE n,
 WORTHY SONS OF TOIL SEPT. 3

Pointing out that the United States Is involved in the most titanic strug- gle of all ages and emphasizing the need for united action of everybody in America, Gov. Thomas E. Camp bell has issued a proclamation setting aside next Monday, Sept. 8, as Labor day. He urges all to join in paying homage to the worthy sons of toll.
 The proclamation is as follows:
 Following the custom which sets aside the first Monday of each Sep tember, as a day upon which Labor may be commemorated by means of parades, meetings, festivals and other manifestations of respect and honor to its dignity and accomplishments for the benefit and advancement of man kind:
 I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, under the authority in me thus reposed, do hereby declare and proclaim as legal holiday, Monday, September the third, nineteen seven teen, to be duly celebrated as afore- time.
 In this most critical hour in the history of the United States and the civilized world, the hopes and fears of humanity center inevitably upon the attitude of the forces of Labor toward the achievement of that high est standard of efficiency, without which Victory is impossible.
 Therefore, this Day affords a most fitting and timely opportunity to take stoc kof the resources of brain and hand, to consider unselfishly how best we can substantially evidence our unfailing support to those who will, at that very time, be mobilized to do battle for those principles of Liberty, equality and fraternity which have blessed American Labor and borne 1t upward to it's present mighty status.
 Arizona's responsibility to dc her part in the present exigency lies equally upon every member of our citizenship. Shall we not bury such differences as molest our present in dustrial progress, upon which so wit ally depends success of the conflict, straining our every nerve and sinew, without thought of self, profit or pro
