GREAT SURPLUS WILL BE CON.
SERVED BY NEW
RULING

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. Is
The problem of conserving the huge
store of gold accumulated by the
United States since 1914. which has
been vexlng federal reserve board
and treasury officials somewhat of
late, is believed to have been met in
part by the addition of gold, bullion,
currency and evidences of indebted
ness to the list of commodities re-
quiring licenses for export to Euro
pean countries.
Regulations for the licensing will
be promulgated by the secretary of
the treasury, and enforcement prob
ably will be placed in the hands of
treasury employees.
The effect of restriction on gold ex-
ports, it is believed, will be to de-
press still further the value of the
dollar in international exchange, es-
pecially in the neutral countries of
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland.
Spain and Switzerland, where foreign
exchange is against American money.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. rs
That the country youth is not able
to hear SO we'll as his city brother,
and that only about one in five of
the former possess the auricular
acuteness of the city-bred lad is
the opinion of officers at the head
of marine corps recruiting in this
ity. Their deductions are based
on the number of country boys re-
I'd for poor hearing.
Many persons believe that the
continual Earring noises of the city
have a tendency to dull the sem
sitiveness of the nerve centers.
However, this is not borne out by
the figures of the marine corps
officers. who believe that the quiet
life of the county. free form noises

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. rs
The American Red Cross has per-
ted plans to care for Americans
who may be captured and held in
German prison camps. A Prisoners
Relief commission has been organ
lied at Berne, Switzerland, under
the supervision of Ellis l.. Dresel-
of the American legation. Mr.. Dire
sci served from the. outbreak of the
war in 1914 up to our breaking Off
of the American embassy at Berlin.
where his duties included relief
work for men of the entente nation
alities in German prison camps.
Today only about 100 American
prisoners are held in Germany.
Most of these are civilians taken
off American merchantmen that
have been sunk by Teuton submar-
ines. More recent arrivals in the
prison camps had served as gun
crews. since the arming of our
merchant ships.
Speedy provision Tor their rellet
and for those who may be taken
prisoner is necessitated by the Ger
man policy of giving their prison
ers of war food totally inadequate
to keep them in good health. The
extremely high death rate among
Russian, Serbian and Rumanian
prisoners in Germany and Austria

ians) has been largely due to the
inability of Russia and the Balkan
states to organize the rationing of
prisoners of their nationalities
from their home countries.

Paris tells of a French soldier Just
back from a German prison camp
and in the last stage of tuberculosis.

Car Construction at Sparks

1t is rumored that the Sparks
ear shops of the Southern Pacific
have received orders to prepare to
construct 40 box cars. The trucks
and underrigglng will be shipped
from Sacramento for assembling
and the wooden work will also be
done at Sparks. There is a big
shortage of cars to care for the i'm
mense amount of traffic handled by
the road and car foundries are un-
able to turn out the finished pro
ducts fast enough to meet the de-
mands of the situation. Shop work
can be done cheaper at Sparks than
at any other point on the system.

CHAPTERS OF
RED CROSS
TO KNIT
LOCAL WOMEN WILL AID IN
SUPPLYING SOLDIERS
NEEDS

All chapters of the Pacific divi-
sion of the Red Cross have receiv-
ed rush orders for knitted goods
from John l.. Clymer, director of
the Pacific division. These orders
are directed to all chapters and
their branches and au~xiliaries and
emphasize necessity for speed in
filling them.
The assignment for the Goldfield
chapter is 100 sets, each containing
one sleeveless sweater, n pair
socks, one pair wristlets and one
muffler. Instructions received with
the order state than copies of a
new manual for making the articles
will be shipped as soon as received
at Red Cross headquarters in San
Francisco.
Each set will require two pounds
of yarn, ga lb. for the sweater,
Is lb. for the wristlets, 1-2 lb. for
the socks and SIS lib. for the muff-
Ter. The yarn will cost 1920 per
h., or a trifle more, and for NAL
ing 100 sets the expense to the local
chapter, including needles, will BE-
about $3.50.
The national organization hopes
to be able to start delivery of tn"
sets not later than Oct. /, as delay
beyond this date will mean suffering
for many American soldiers anG
those of Americas allies and also
thousands of French and Belgian
refugees who are being returned
to France through Switzerland.
A recent telegram from the di-
rector of the Red Cross commits
sion to France said; Everyone here
looks to America. Begin shipping
at once, 100000 each of warm
knitted wooden articles already re
quested. They must come before
cold weather, and in view of short
age of fuel and other discomforts,
they will be of incredible value il

More than so per cent of the num-
Der are now dead or have been re-
turned to France, via Switzerland, as
incurables.
Malnutrition, no less than unsani-
tary conditions, produces these re-
suits. British, Canadian and Aus
tralian prisoners of wal in Germany
now depend exclusively upon food
shipped to them from London, and
generally give the prison camp ra-
tion to prisoners of other countries,
who are, as a rule, less we'll pro-
vided.
Bread is already being dispatched
from Berne to the Americans in Ger
many. and arrangements have also
been made for transmitting letters
and money from their families and
friends in this country.
Thus far only bread has been sup
piled by the Berne committee of the
American Red Cross. Assorted food
parcels and clothing will also be for
warded soon. In the meantime the
central prisoners of war committee
of London is acting on behalf of
American prisoners in Germany,
sending them such foods, as the COM
mittee regularly dispatches to British
and colonial prisoners.

G|ROUX MAKES
HEAVY OUTPUT
BIG PROPERTY !
LARGE PROFITS FROM -
ITS OPERATIONS

The Giroux, now controlled by
Coppermines company, has had a
long and hard struggle, and to a
great extent was for many years a
disappointment to its large num-
Der of stockholders who are scat
tered throughout the United States.
Those who have held or will yet
be rewarded for their investment,
Nas the property now gives promise
of becoming one of the best in the
western country.
In the early history of the pro-
perty neither Mr.. Giroux or Mr..
Cole laid any particular stress upon
the sulphide deposits, which were
then considered of too low grade
to be worked at a profit without a
large investment in a concentrating
and smelter plants. For this rea-
son they confided their energies to
the development and equipment Of
the high grade ore bodies along
the contact, and it is from these de-
posts that the direct smelling ores
averaging around II per cent are
now coming.
Ores from these deposits were
shipped many years ago, but Don
thereafter came the I've in the
Alpha shaft, rendering 1t unsafe
ever after. 1t was for this reason
that the Giroux compartment
shaft was later sunk in solid lime
rock, which had reached a depth
Of about 1900 feet when it was
practically destroyed by fire, and a
number of lives lost. This shaft
equipped in the state of Nevada,
and now that the old workings have
been opened up, it is realized that
the money was well spent, but for
some time after the fire the man
agement was criticised for the big
expenditure which was then thought
to be worthless.
The body of sulphide ores has
been greatly extended during the
present management by churn drill
ing. These ores are similar to those
of the Nevada Cons, but generally
considered of a little better grade,
and it is from this source that the
500-ton flotation plant has beer
supplied, which will soon be in
creased to double it's present capa-
city.
The present management has
what is considered a most favorable
contract with the Nevada Consoli-
dated for the treatment of its ores,
aside from which the Nevada Con
%solidated is treating all of its direct
smelling ores, which gives quick re-
suits and eliminates the haulage to
the smelters of Salt Lake valley.
where that class of ore was former
ly treated.
The management also some time
ago made a satisfactory contract
with the Minerals Separation COM
pany for the use of it's patented
oil flotation process, which frees it
from the h~arrassing suits which
have befallen many other compan-
les using that or a similar process
of concentration. This process, j,
is claimed, is going to make valuable
a considerable tonnage of ore here
tOfore considered worthless. which
will prOlong the life of the company
as well as increase it's ore reserves.
