She 10 Brave Now.

In the Woman's Home Companion a
writer says:
Most people stand somewhat in awe
of walters, | find. They tip more than
they can afford because they do not
want to seem like IL 'piker' in the wait
er's eyes. Well. | am done worrying
about what walters are thinking about
me. | makei it IA point now to let them
worry about what | think about them.
In the first JOY of finding that could
get my rights by standing up for them

car about the conduct Of a waiter amt
later sent back some unripe fruit with
perfect composure. The captain cor
rected the waiter. The unripe fruit was
removed from my bill. 1t wasn't II
bit of trouble. | didn't even raise my
voice. But there was no mistake about
what | meant.
"Since then walters have had no ter
rorS for me. When | don't get the
treatment i ought to have | call the
captain. or the head waiter. and ask
what is the matter. He does the rest

Present day passion for setting unap
preciated historical characters in n new
light has now reached President Mil
lard Fillmore. A symposium by six
teen American publishers says of him :
He abolished debt Imprisonment and
religious test oaths for witnesses in
court. He fOstered new postage rate:
and induced congress to make an ap'
preparation for testing the electric tel
egraph. He sent Perry on his famous
expedition to Japan, with instructions
for action that won the "open door
and laid the foundation for American
Japanese friendship. In his retirement
as a citizen of Buffalo Fillmore laid
the foundations of most Of its present
cultural institutions. Always he was
an opponent of war and n constructive
statesman. But he lacked those quail
ties as Il MAI and those ambitions n
Il politician which might have made
him popular while he lived and read
about today.

River Refuses To Wait

While waiting for the courts to
decide whether a dan in the
Walker river should remain, the
river suddenly changed it's course
and the suit, which has been fought
through the courts for the past six
years and is now in the supreme
court, is vitality affected. The
dam, known as the Spragg dam,
was built on the river a mile and
one-half north Of Yerington. Suit
was brought by Angus Mcleod,
now dead, against j. Gallagher and
others tt have it removed, contend
ing that their property would be
damaged by deposits of sand &C
cumulating in the river above the
dam.

ESTIMATE OF
GERMAN EfFECT|vES
FIGURES SHOW THAT TEUTONS
STILL HAVE LARGE RE-
SERVE FORCES

A Paris dispatch states that Gen.
eral de la Croix publishes in the
Temps the results of his study,
supposedly from authoritative sour
ces, of the present number of Ger
man reserves. He estimates that
the grand total Of German troops of
all kinds and classes up to June 1
reached 13,13O,OOO, and that this
total was depleted by losses of 3d.
$4,000, 100000 rendered unfit
through wounds, and 100000
resident in foreign countries.
General de la Croix estimates
that of the balance nearly 100000
are employed as first line, ear line
and interior troops, leaving a NOV
able balance of reserves of about
$4,000, of which 100000 are at
tached to front depots, $4,000 to
interior deposit, and 100000 in pro-
will be increased in November by
100000 of the class of 1919. These
troops will not, however, be avail
able before that for any service, any
more than those in formation.
On this basis General de la Croix
figures that Germany has $1,000
reserves with which to cover her
losses until November, Of lis, 200 a
month plus $4,000 monthly of those
who from their wounds, a
.--. A-A- Onn nnn --A1.
The general points out that German
losses in April and May have been
at least 100000 monthly, making
a debit balance which he says has
been met by a shortening of the
German front and fewer attacks.
The absence of reserves has caused
he says. an obvious shift from the
old tactics of the German general
staff.-Journal of Commerce.

Man Sees Things

Ants bear little resemblance to
snakes, but when a man a i'm
bibed too freely be is liable to see
most anything. When millions of
ants that were literally eating him
alive refused to be brushed from
the clothing of a Gardnerville man
he e~ndeavored to uncrate a bath
tub in front of a plumbers shop
so that he might use it in drown
ing the ants. In doing this he
pied" considerable of the plum
ber's goods, poked his fist through
a window and started to make the
town look like a ruined city of
Europe, when officers arrived and
placed the disturber under arrest.

Record Wool Clip

Great quantities of wool are
coming into Winnemucca from the
northern part of Humboldt coun-
ty, long strings of horses hauling
four or five wagons at n time.
Freight platforms are already
piled high with the product. 1t
will be late in the summer before
the entire clip has been hauled.
The unprecedented high price of
wool and large output will bring
an immense amount of money into
Humboldt county from the east.

Floating Islands.

Many floating islands have at various
periods been found voyaging IN the
Atlantic. These islands were original
ly part of the low lying river banks.
which broke away under stress of
storm or food and fioated out to sea.
The Orinoco, the Amazon. the Ia Plata
and other tropical rivers often send
forth such pieces of their shores. Some
of the bits of land are of large size
and carry animals, insects and vegeta-
ton, even ut times including trees, the
roots of which serve to hold the land
intact, while their branches and leaves
serve as sails for the wind. Generally
the waves break up these islands short
ly after they put to sea, but sometimes.
under favorable conditions. they travel
long distances.

OIL BOOM At
MOAPA LIKELY
CONTEMPLATE THOROUGH
SYSTEM OF WORK

Some of our citizens got their
minds off the price of lead and the
H. G. o. (high cost of operation)
this week long enough to listen to
some conversation about oil, and it
proved a very interesting conversa-
ton, too.
About a month or six weeks ago
not a little excitement was caused
by the fact that oil had been found
in the we'll being drilled at Moapa.
although not present in paying
quantities. Tuesday and Wednesday
we had a visitor in camp, E.. D.
White of Omaha, one of the trustees
of the association that is drilling the
well. His mission was frankly to
raise money to carry on the work,
which never gave better promise.
The well is now down 200 feet
and the opinion of experts who
have examined the property and the
country Immediately surrounding is
that there is certainly oil present in
large quantities. The indications so
far are identical with those found
in the California oil fields. They
have found first a conglomerate for
nation, which is the hardest of ony
formation to drill through, then the
brown and blue shales and clays all
in the most approved order.
Mr.. White is connected with the
Union Pacific, being head of the de-
partment of personal injuries and
right of way claims, and is making
a hurried trip west for the purpose
of financing the company so that the
drilling may be continued. The 9TH
YER and w. R. Thomas of Las Vegas,
and these three manage the affairs
of the company without recompense
being confident that they VIII be
we'll repaid for their trouble in the
ultimate development of oil. Every
cent CT money subscribed goes di-
ready into the property and the af-
fairs ale handled in a strictly husi-
ness-liie manner.
Many of the w~ell-known business
mcl Of the county are interested IN
the project, among them being Geo.
A .Fayla, S e. Yount. N. Z. hunter,
Jesse Jones, DR.. r. w. Martin, Judge
Thomas, C Rannow, w. II. Pike, w.
S. Park, P. j. Sullivan, Walter
Bracken and others.
Il consider the Moapa territory
to be one of the biggest prospective
oil fields in the country" said Mr.:
White, land the future of CLARK
county. in case oil is found in the
quantities we anticipate, is hard to
surmise. 1t will mean an abundance
of cheap fuel for mills, sme.ters
and transportation. The Salt lake
road, which is seriously contemplate
ing changing it's oil burning engines
into coal burners on account OF the
scarcity of oil, would in all proba-
bility convert all their engines into
oil burners. The trend on VIM l
we are drilling lies directly alons
the tracks of the Salt Lake b,
for about II miles and is about three
or four miles wide, therefore the
question of water supply and rams
portation is very simple. Good

NINE AT BUCKSKIN SOLD
AND WILL BE WORKED

The Kennedy Consolidated Gold
Mining company's property at Buck
skin, this county, was sold Tuesday
to John F. Conway, prominent min
ing man of Salt Lake. The Ken
nedy property is rich in copper
and was worked to considerable ex-
tent during the boom days of BUCK
skin.
Arrangements are being made for
the purchase of a complete electric
plant for the property and it will
be operated extensively in a few
weeks. The oil flotation process
will be used in treating the ore

ACTIVE MINING
At ROCHESTER
MANY PROPERTIES ARE BEING
DEVELOPED IN THOROUGH
MANNER

The Adams vein on the 500
foot level of the Rochester Mines
property has widened out to four
teen feet with exceptionally rich ore,
many specimens showing native sill
yer and free gold throughout. The
east vein on the same level is
producing the usual amount of good
ore.
The 700 and 9OO-foot levels are
looking good. Indications on the
90O-foot level are that the Adams
vein will be struck within the next
few days.
All other slopes in the mines are
producing the usual amount of ore.
Returns on the last bullion ship
ment received Monday amounts to
$26,943, being a cleanup for the
latter part of May covering about
eighteen days.
Shepherd drift No. 2 is % in
twenty feet on the Rochester Com
bined Mines, all in ore. Raise No.
l has been started from this drift,
the face being in good ore.
The working tunnel is now in $50
feet with good ore in the face. A
raise has been started in the main
drift to connect with the Shepherd
No. 1 tunnel which is 100 feet
directly above the working tunnel.
Machine drills are being operated in
the Bacchus tunnel.
The cross-cut in Link No. 1 tun-
mel and the drift in the Link No. 3
tunnel are in rich ore.
The Maynaugh tunnel had ad-
vanced to date $50 feet. Work for
the past few days has been progress
ing in good ore and we are making
over seven feet per day. Work on
the Happy Jack property is making
good Roadway. The water is flow
ing through the main pipe line at
the rate of sixty gallons a minute
and it is thought that by July 10
the mill grading will be completed.
AS far as can now be ascertained
owe 1000 cubic yards will be taken
out.
The company has 100, 900 feet
of mill timber in the yard at the
mill and about $4,000 feet en-
route from Nenzel station and ap-
proximately 100000 feet still to be
unloaded. In all it will require
100000 feet of lumber for the con-
, struction of the mill and the neces-
sary buildings.
The main drift on the 16OO-foot
level of the Seven TToughs Coali-
ton has advanced another 100 feet
during the past week. The drift is
advancing in a good, well defined
vein.
A cross-cut from the Wine on
the S00-foot level of the Seven
Troughs Mining company's mine has
now advanced a total distance of
n~inety-five feet. The face is ad-
! vancing in a black dyke which looks
encouraging, but no values have
been encountered.
On the 700-foot level the shipping
ore taken out for the past month
will average better than $3.50 per
ton. Considerable mill ore Is being
placed on the dumps daily which
will average better than $25 per
on.-Reno Gazette.

NINE SUPERINTENDENT
is INJURED BY BLAST

j. II. La Foe, superintendent or
the Cracker Jack mine, is now
seer on the streets with his fore
head and temples swathed in band
ages as a result of the premature
explosion of a blasting charge in
the mine. The cause of the eX-
plosion is not known, but had the
rock that peppered La Foes face
hit him a little lower it is believed
that his sight would have been
badly injured or destroyed.

National Forests Merged

On June g., the president signed
an executive order making the
Humboldt, Ruby and Santa Rosa
national forests into n unit to
be known as the Humboldt nation
al forest. To July 1, 1916, the
three forests were administered
as separate units. They were then
combined with administrative
headquarters at Elko, but each
retained it's name.

Jarbidge has been in difficulties
during the past winter and spring.
The mountains and canyons have
been blanketed with great snow

CROSS LOCAL
CHAPTER IS
GROWING
CAMPAIGN FOR MEMBERS RE-
SUITS IN A CONSTANTLY
INCREASING LIST

The membership of the Goldheld
chapter of the Red Cross continues
to increase slowly and the chapter
now has 577 members, with excellent
prospects of still adding a consid-
cradle number.
The organization throughout Ne
vada is still campaigning for an in
creased membership and is now
making final efforts before the &C
tual work, which has been started
by several chapters, becomes general
in the state.
AS the American forces in France
increase in number and enter the
trenches there will be an everlasting
call for surgical supplies and hospi-
tai necessities of all kinds. and the
local organization is now preparing
to do it's share in caring for the sick
md wounded by sending across the
seas the product or the industry of
its members.
1t is planned to DO this work in
the headquarters opened a few
weeks ago. The headquarters room
has been well p~atronized since open
ing and members of the chapter are
always welcome there. 1t will be
open all day tomorrow and resident
members and visitors have been in
vited to use headquarters as a rest
o during the day.
instructions are expected to reach
the local chaDter shortly to
for active work by members in the
making of pajamas, bandages and
other articles for the use of the Red
Cross hospital corps at the front.
In the meantime it is desirable that
members of the Goldfield chapter
make use of the headquarters and
it has been suggested that women
members may hold their card parties
at any time in the quarters, which
are cool and well ventilated and
have all necessary furnishings for
such forms of entertainment.
Applications for membership may
be submitted to w. e. Ioebel, sec
rotary of the local chapter; p. j.
Somers, Jr., secretary of the mem
bership committee; Miss NJ. Otness
at the post office; or any member
of the committee on membership.
The list of members has been in
creased by the following:
