MANY REJECTED
FROM MARINES
HIGH STANDARD OF MEN RE-
CURED FOR SOLDIERS
OF THE SEA

INDIANAPOLIS, July ,6.why
so many men are rejected for mill
tary service is partly explained by
the weekly report of recruiting
officer Sergeant G.. G. Wright, COM
piled after the recent drive for
recruits in the United States ma
rine corps.
Out of 1872 applications for en-
listment during the week only "a
were accepted. Others were re-
jected for the following causes:
under age 81; underweight 80;
defective vision 20; defective hear
ing 4; flat feet 16. Sixty-one
others were rejected as "undesir-
able" through failure to meet the
exacting mental, moral and ply
steal requirements.
The standard Of the soldiers of
the sea- is very high, though GER
tain notifications may be put into
effect later, should it be necessary
to follow the precedent of the
countries that have been draining
their man power for three years.

LIME ROCK SHIPMENTS
FROM SLOAN INCREASE

With a regular monthly output
of $50 tons of burnt lime rock now
being shipped by the Nevada Lime
& Plaster company at Sloan to
the northern Nevada smelters, a
contract has just been closed by
the company with two California
steel mills, calling for 400 tons of
lime rock per month. George
Ehret, head of the company, ar
rived from Los Angeles Friday and
is arranging for the immediate
shipment of the first consignment.
A new 550-foot spur has been
completed by the Salt Lake Route
at Sloan to accommodate the in
creased shipping. The activity in
the coast steel industry is attri-
buted to the placing of large ship
contracts with coast concerns, who
will secure much of their steel
and iron from the Torrance fur
naces.
The lime rock il used as flux
and will be shipped to Torrance.

ROCKIES

SAN FRANCISCO, July z. =
Drug stores in the vicinity of the
reserve officers training camp here
are doing what is Familiarity term
ed a land office business.
The period of short, sharp
marches is on, and there are many
and severe inspections of feet.
Yards of adhesive tape are disap-
pearing with amazing speed from
the drug store shelves while tai
cum powder is being sold pound
after pound. The feet of every
man are examined before the
march, and the tapping and powder
ing process begins at that time.
If there is any indication of wear
at the end of the march the pedal
extremities of the rockies are given
another plaster of tape and shower
of talcum powder.

The officers have no desire to make
a mans feet Sc soft by treatment
that he will be unable to stand up
under a sustained march. On the
other hand the slightest bruise or
scratch is given close attention, and
properly reinforced with tape and
powder.
The inspection of feet is one of
the amusing features of camp life,
but the rockies realize the serious

marching at the camp, are won by

MINING PROSPECTS
IMPROVE At RAND
SEVERAL PROPERTIES IN LARGE
DISTRICT ARE NEAR PRO-
DUCING STAGE

Late developments above the
25O-foot level of the Nevada Ran,
property have proved so satisfsc-
tory that the management is consid-
ering early shipments or h~igh-grade
ore to custom plants. A large ton
mage Of shipping ore is exposed,
running about two-tnlrds silver and
one-third gold in values. The me-
dium-grade material will be stored
for the milling plant which it is
planned to erect in the immediate
future.
The Conner stope from the .
level has exposed much ore and
drifting is advancing rapidly to pic
up the extension of the rich shoot
developed at the 1S0-foot point. Oh
he 450-foot level the cross-cut has
penetrated the fault and entered
hard andesite. Indications are ia
vorable for intersection or the main
ledge a short distance beyond the
present working face.
Preparations have been made by
the Queen Regent Merger company
for more comprehensive work. AT
present developments are conferred

tention of starting heavy shipments.

plant is working satisfactorily and
good progress is being made in the

Three shafts are in ore at the
Copper Mountain group, which ship

has been increased and all money
derived from leasing operations is
to apply on the purchase price.
That the deal will be eliminated for
the sale of the property to the jun.

now seems certain.
Engineers representing strong in
terests have been in the district in

IMPORTANT STRIKE
MADE At NATIONAL
RICH HUMBOLDT COUNTY CAMP
REPORTS ANOTHER DO
MANIA FIND

A report has reached here that an
important strike has been made on
the Radiator property in the camp
of National, in the northern part of
the county. The Radiator is located
to the east of the road just below
town. This property is now under
lease to a new company, headed by
N. P. R. Hatch, the pioneer mining
man of the district.
The Radiator has always been an
attractive piece of ground, and dur
ing the earlier days of the camp a
tunnel was run for some distance
on the vein, but the ore found at
that time carried mostly anthony.
A short time ago Mr.. Hatch and as
sociates acquired a lease on the
property and started a new tunnel
70 feet below the old workings and
it is in this bore that the strike
was made.
Parties from National state that
the ore shows considerable ruby sill
yer and from appearances is of the
~high-grade variety. Seemingly the
old tunnel was started a little too
far east to catch the top of the ore
body being opened by the new leas-
ing company.
The fact that anthony shows
along the outcrop of the vein is a
good Indication, for it will be re-
membered that anthony was found
in the workings of the property of
the National Mines company on
Charleston Hill, which has produc-
ed millions and is still being work
ed. The same can be said of the
Buckskin National, which also show
ed anthony or the surface, but
with development work proved to
be a rich mine with the values III

COPPER IS PRODUCED
FROM ELDER CREEK

The Elder Creek copper property,
about eight miles west of Battle
Mountain, is beginning to show up
to the entire satisfaction of the own
ers. The property is an old n and
years ago had produced considerable
copper, but had been abandoned un-
til two months ago when the de-
mand for copper and the nigh price
paid for the metal caused Charles
Woods, Frank George and Ed Lar
son to take it up and commence
opening up. The boys have done
about $1,000 worth of work in a
short time
They are now drifting in ore
along the surface and have an in
cline shaft about thirty feet in
depth in which they are developing
a strong vein. They have just re-
ceived the returns from a a load
of ore shipped to the Garfield smelt-
err, which gave them s 1-2 per cent
copper.
Those connected with the prop
erty are thoroughly satisfied, be-
cause the ore was shipped without
testing.

property to date.-Scout.

k|zPAH DISTRICT
NOW HAS BOOSTER
CLAIMS OWNED BY IRISH ARE
SAID TO BE OF
VALUE

There is nothing to dim the
happiness of David Irish. a Mizpah
mine operator who is spending a
few days in Ely. His cup of joy
seems rather sweet, since he en-
countered a deposit of metallic bis
muth in one of his working shafts
at a depth of 60 feet. The impor-
lance of the discovery cannot be
ignored, as the price of that me-
tai is quoted in reputable mining
journals at SO a pound.
The mineral tract controlled by
Irish was subjected to a rigid
examination by the late William
Parish, a mining engineer known
from Alaska to Mexico. Parish de-
clared in his report hat at the
price of copper 10 years ago, the
property now controlled by Irish
was worth several million dollars.
He said that hazard of loss in
the development of ore values is
reduced to a minimum, and should
not cost to exceed $4,000 if the
money for development purposes
is properly directed and ecOnomi-
cally used.
While the properties were mere
prospects when Parish gave them
the up and down, his conclusion
at that time was that there was
not one chance in a hundred for
thaN, ~ coiI e. not An1u nnoHn a
big mine but a great one. He
recommended sinking upon the
four different large veins to a
depth between 200 and 800 feet.
Parish intimated that the veins
will be barren SO far as mineral
is concerned until water level is
reached, at which point rich and
permanent copper ore should be
encountered.
1T has been 10 years since l
first cast my lot with Mizpah,"
said Mr.. Irish, land | still retain
the same confidence in the future
of the camp. Mizpah needs only
a limited amount of capital to
bring that section out of it's leth-
argy. | have encountered sulphi-
DIES in three different working
shafts from 20 to 60 feet from the
surface. Wherever there is an out
crop, they show ores containing
gold and copper. Mizpah is only
five miles from the main line of
the Nevada Northern, and | believe
it will not be long before that
camp gets the recognition 10 which
it is entitled Pine News.
