BISHOP CHAMBER
INVITES NEVADA
OPENING OF TOURING SEASON
WILL BE CELEBRATED
APRIL 20

Calling for the cooperation of the
automobile clubs and road organiza-
tions of three states, the Bishop
chamber of commerce On Wednesday
started a movement for a mountain
top celebration of the opening of the
1917 transcontinental touring sea-
son.
Utah and Nevada will be asked to
join with California in an event of
nationwide interest to cross-country
tourists, and which it is believed will
result in greatly increased travel
owe the Midland trail, the main
transcontinental route to California.
1t is proposed to hold the celebra-
ton about the goth of April at a
point in Westgard Pass, where the
first glimpse of the snow-crowned
Sierras and the first real view of
California is obtainable. There, if
the plans now under way are sue
cessfully carried out, will meet rep
resentatives from the different cities
and towns along the Midland trail
from Salt Lake City west. Ely, To-
nopah, Goldfield and both northern
and southern California will be urg-
ed to participate and it is expected
hat Salt Lake City will also send
a delegation.
The Inyo good road club will
work with the chamber of COM
merce in making the celebration a
success and delegations from every
town in the valley will be present.
The program for the affair is to be
worked out by a committee to be
named by President G.. H. Dusenber-
ry of the chamber of commerce.
There is every prospect that trans
continental travel this year will
reach proportions undreamed of a
few years ago. The great prosper
ity in the east and the fact that
European travel is out of the ques-
ton will bring a great horde of tour
lists to California. Many thousands
of these will travel by motor. The
Midland trail, with it's many hun
dreds of miles of improved highway
and it's wonderful scenic attractions,
will no doubt be the most popular
routet-Owens Valley Herald.

Wills Mining Library

Under the provisions of the will
of John Bristol, which was admitted
to probate at Reno, the University
of Nevada school of mines will be-
come possessor of one of the most
extensive and complete Libraries in
America on mining and m~etallurgy.
Bristol was a graduate of the uni
versity school of mines and before
his death came to be recognized as
a leading authority on mining mat
tiers. 1t was in appreciation of the
schooling in his profession received
at the university that he made the
gift to the school of mines.

GROOM NINE PROVES
HEAVY PRODUCER

The Groom mine is shipping
steadily at the rate of about two
carloads of lead-silver r per week.
The weather has interfered with
shipments to some extent the past
two months, there being much snow
on the ground at that altitude.
However, the ore bins and the mine
workings are all full of r wait
ing for transportation and things
will be very active at the mine from
now on. Work on sinking the
shaft to the 800 level is progressing
steadily.-Las Vegas Age.

ment consists of a shaft having a
depth of 100 feet, while an adit
has been extended for rs feet. 1t
is expected that within a short dis
lance the heading of this adit will
undercut the shaft at a substantial
depth. and in the event the re
shoot is found to be persistent
then regular shipments will be in
augurated. Ore has been market
ed from this property at various in
tervals for the last ten years..
Charles Greffell. who has been
developing a group of claims for
quite a period, is also reported as
having an excellent showing. A
shaft has been sunk to a depth of
1875 feet and ore of a commercial
grade is exposed. An adit has al
so been driven rs feet which is
destined to undercut the shaft work
ings to prove the persistency of the
ore shoot.
The Railroad Springs district lies
% miles southwest of Goldfield,
and has been prospected in a de
sultory sort of way for a great
many years. The results that have
been forthcoming during the past
few weeks have been most encour-
aging and there is every reason for
believing that something sensation
al will be reported from that Sec
ton during the coming summer.

THIS FRENCHMAN
PREDICTS TRULY
HAS BEEN RIGHT TWICE AND
NOW MAKES THIRD PRE-
DICTION

That the French and English
possess the initiative on the west
front to the extent of predicting
what thew will do and about when
they will do ii, IS evidenced by a
letter recently received by Marius
Durand, a Goldfield business man,
from his brother-in-law, who is
fighting with the French army on
the Somme.
The letter received by Durand
was dated March 3, approximately
the date on which the "big push"
still going on that front, started.
The writer stated that the weather
was improving and predicted that
the French army on hat front
would soon be heard from. Events
from about the date of the letter
have borne out the prediction, as
both the French and English ar
mics on the Somme front have in
deed been heard from in no uncer-
ain way and their guns have been
heard by the Germans through
many miles Of trenches as they
ment.
The writer of the letter, Francis
Emery, is a member of the 9Th
Chasseurs d'Afrique and although
he has been in the trenches since
the start of the war, is still un-
wounded. That he does not owe
his life to keeping put of action is
evidenced by the fact that he has
been decorated with the coveted
"Croix d'Guerre" (cross of war;,
won when Nivelle demonstrated to
the Germans at Verdun the art of
taking ground in a hurry.
In the letter Emery predicted
with the utmost confidence the vic
tory of the allies in 1917. In a let
ter written Immediately after the
German peace proposal he said to
take no stock in the peace rumors,
as there would be no peace until
his recent letter, in as many words
as he though would pass the CEN
sor, he predicted the German for
ced retirement on the Somme. AS a
prophet he is making good and it
remains to be seen if his prophesy
of an allied victory in 1917 will
be borne out by history now in
the making.
In a letter recently SEN in ms
wer to the one received, Durand
enclosed four American f%lag-pins,
one to be worn by Emery, the re-
mainder to be presented to Ameri-
cans in the French army. Pins
were also enclosed in letters writ
ten to another brother-in-law and
a nephew, both in the army at
Monastir. Durand also told the
young men that after April 2
France would have a new ally.
1t is of interest to know that
checks and money orders cannot be
sent to soldiers in France. 1t is
useless, as their location is al
ways unknown and they have nc
means of ~cashing them.
In each letter sent his relatives,
Durand encloses a five dollar bill.
All three tell him that such pre-
sents are always acceptable, parti-
cularly in view of the fact that
for each bill they receive five dol
lars and sixty cents in French
money, owing to the rate of eX-
change. In normal times before
he war this difference amounted
to about three cents on the dollar.

HE'S GOING TO BE A FIREMAN?

No doubt a heavy load will be
lifted from the many feminine
hearts of Goldfield, when they learn
that w. H. Ayres (married) will
not leave the city as he intended.
He has forsaken the keyboard of
a Mergeuthaler for the firing valves
of a Baldwin and his smiling face
will be seen on the left side of the
engine of the Consolidated ore train,
for he is going to be a fireman.

your business affairs.
STOP WASTE!
Turn Potato Feelings Into
Cannon
And buy Liberty Bonds.
You can buy them on the
partial payment plan
and YOU can save enough
every week. OUT OF
WASTE to pay for them.
The nation needs your aid.
You must do your share
if YOU would have the full
protection Of the nation
for yourself.
And YOU mus t buy
bonds, because, if you
DON'T, YOU may very
possibly not be able to buy
FOOD. If Russia should
make peace with Germany
a million and a half Ger
man prisoners there would
be released, and these,
with the German armies
now employed against
Russia, would be hurled at
France and England. If
the British fleet should be
overcome, we would have
a food blockade Oh our
coasts.
If the $2,000,000,00
Liberty Loan is not taken
by the people, it MUST be
taken by the banks. And
if it is taken by the banks,
how CAN they use that
money to make the loans
to merchants, manufacture
ers and farmers, which
keep business going?
What happened to you
in the panic of 1907 when
business shut down? Did
YOU lose your job? Did you
have your salary cut? Did
YOU have a fine, thriving
business, and 90 bank
rupt?
The entire intent OF the
Treasury Department is
that YOU shall buy these
bonds. That is why they
are issued in units of $50,
800 and $500. That is
why employers have ar
arranged so that you can
buy your share by paying
81 per week.
And at least TWELVE
MILLION men just like
YOU MUST buy. You
must have food-youm must
stop waste so that there
will be food enough to go
around.
You must have money
to. BUY food, and there
must be MONEY enough
to go around. And you
must buy just as many Of
these Liberty Loan bonds
as you can stagger under
to keep business good, to
help the twelve million
men all over the nation
who must help too.
The Golden Rule at Work
Be very sure Of one
thing. AS you feel about
it, 50 will they feel. As
you act, so will they act.
And YOU must do your
part to help them to help
us all, if you want these
twelve million men to do
their part and help you;
help you protect those you
love.
And if you twelve mil
lion men DO buy these
bonds, if you DO aid your
S at Noon Friday. Act at O.

When done the skins can

Some Simple Savings
Make bread pudding

It's good. We LOVED it
twenty years ago. Don't
market by phone, go pick
the foodstuffs out. Don't
run up bills. Pay cash
YOU get more and YOU

cheaper, very nourishing,
and a splendid brain food.
