JOHN Cl|NGAN
RETURNS HERE
HAD NECK BROKEN EIGHT
MONTHS AGO IN NINE
ACCIDENT

A man in whose case many Gold
field people have been interested in
past months returned here this
morning in the person of John Clin-
gan, who on the night Of April Z,
this year, had his neck broken in
a fall of ground in a local mine.
After lying almost immovable in
st. Mary's hospital from the date of
his injury to June l, Clingan was
taken to San Francisco by DR.. Tur-
ner and placed in ST. Francis hospi-
tai, where he has been until three
days ago. He has been able to walk
since August l., but his recovery
ard return here have been greatly
delayed owing to the fact that on
two occasions he vas stricken with
a severe cast of malaria, keeping
him in bed on n occasion for six
weeks and again for eve weeks.
This condition was supposed to
have been caused by stomach trou-
BILE and during the second illness
his weight dropped to 100 pounds
and for a time his life was despair
ed of, 60 grains of Quinine being
administered on some days in his
treatment.
Clingan now weighs 1913 pounds,
about 40 under normal, but states
that is TO be expected and that his
condition in other respects is salts
factory to physicians. He does not
wear supports of any description
ana except that he is thinner and
uses a cane in walking, there is lit
tie difference in his appearance now
and before the accident eight
months ago
His right side is still partly par
alyzed and he had not regained
complete S of his neck. The
papers which he has from the in
dustrial insurance commission, sign
ed by San Francisco physicians,
state that he is suffering from a
broken neck, that he will recover
after a long time and that his
total disability. which is described
as being temporary, may end Jan
l, 1918. While in ST. Francis hos
pital he states that he was visited
by a representative of the Nevada
industrial insurance commission.
Clingan has high praise for DR..
Tuner, and DR.. Crane of St. Francis
hospital. in whose care he was while

LITTLE TIME IS
LEFT TO ENLIST
LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR EN-
LISTMENT OF MEN IN
draft

Revolving a former order to the
effect that no recruits would be re-
ceived after Dec. Is, recent orders
from army headquarters in San
Francisco will lead to recruiting
stations in this state closing at
earlier dates. Dec. 10 will be the
last day on which men in the draft
will be able to enlist at Reno and
the Tonopah station will close on
Dec. 8. 1t is supposed that the
Reno station will remain open for
men not of draft age, but this is
not known definitely. However, the
Tonopah station will be abandoned
on Dec. s..
The order has been issued so that
all recruits may reach San Fran
cisco by Dec. IS, be sent to the re-
cruit depot and their enlistment
completed by Dec. Is.
1t will be the last opportunity for
registered men to volunteer for the
army and choose the branch of the
service in which they desire to
serve. All branches have been
opened for enlistment and there is
a big demand for men skilled in var
ious trades.

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. "a pretty
girl used to bring John w. Dolan
and his partner, Dan Zimmerman,
their dinners in a tin pail when
tney were working on a claim
during the Goldfield gold rush. The
giri was Carrie Zimmerman, Dan
TiIlmerman's wife.
The partners drifted apart. Dolan
grew rich. Recently he advertised
for a cook. A oma answered.
She was a widow, she said.
But aren't you Dan thinner

TOBACCO FUND
STILL GROWING
MAJOR-GENERAL BLISS SAYS,
"IT is A GOOD
THING"

High ranking officers of the army
the men who know the business
of making war from the ground up
and who will direct from this end
the operations of the American
troops in France-heartily indorse
efforts to raise funds for the pur-
chase of tobacco for the American
Toys at the front.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, Chief of
Staff is a grizzled old soldier with a
fighting face" but he snapped
forth ready approval.
Its a good thing he said.
Every officer should give it his sup
port. It's not merely on account of
the value of the gift itself, but on
account of the fine spirit behind it
that it merits encouragement. 1t is
going to be a big thing for the boys
and a thing they'll appreciate"
Brighten. Henry p. Mccain, Ad-
jutant-General of the army, was
equally quick to commend the fund.
Bully" he said. Anything that
adds to the comfort and pleasure of
the soldiers in the trenches in the
terrible strain they will be under is
worthy of all the support hat the
stay at home public can offer.
II know of few things that will
take the raw edges off mems nerves
quicker than a smoke, and when a
man is facing death and shells are
bursting all around him as he stands
there and waits a puff on a cigarette
or a pull at a pipe must be a God
send to him."
For the same purpose which these
two army men so highly commend
the people of Goldfield have con
tIibuted a total of $117.05 to date,
500 of which has been forwarded
for the purchase of tobacco and Gig
arettes and $17.05 of which is being
held pending the contribution of the
fifth $25.

XMAS DRIVE TO
AID RED CROSS
FIFTEEN MILLION MEMBERS is
GOAL SET BY Or
GANIZATION

A nation wide Christmas mem
bership drive has been planned by
the Red Cross war council. The
building up of Red Cross member
ship to 15,OO0,O 900 in the United
States is the goal of the campaign.
This means an addition of approx
mately 100000 names to present
muster roll.
The drive is to start Dec. II and
continue increasingly to Christmas
eve. The general features of the
membership campaign were worked
out and approved at a conference at
national headquarters of Red Cross
in which representatives of each
Red Cross division of continental
United States participated.
A national Christmas membership
drive committee has been appointed
by the war council to have general
charge of planning and later con-
Quoting the whole campaign. Thee.
n. Vail, president of the American
Telegraph and Telephone company,
has accepted the craftsmanship and
DR.. H. N. MacCracken, president of
Vassar college, will be executive sec
rotary.
Other members of the committee
are: His Eminence, James Cardinal
Gibbons; Bishop William Lawrence,
Boston; DR.. Henry Van Dyke, for
mer minister to the Netherlands,
Princeton, N. j.: John A. Britton,
San Francisco; Benjamin Gratz, St.
Louis; Ban Johnson, Chicago; Her.
vey Lindley, Seattle; John Mitchell,
New York City.
Make it a Red Cross Christ
mass" it to be the recruiting slo-
gan. Everyone taking out a mem
bership in the Red Cross during the
drive period is known as a Christ
mas Member and efforts practically
will be limited to securing annual
members paying annual dues or 81,
or 81 in case of subscribing for
magazine members.
During Red Cross week in June
the $10O, 0OO, 900 mark set by the
war council was oversubscribad and
gave assurance of a national interest
in Red Cross work. which should
make the Christmas membership
drive fully as successful.
1t is felt that people will be
thinking of service rather than fes-
tivities and that minds generally
will be turned to the battle fields of
Europe and especially to our own
soldiers and sailors. 1t is believed
therefore that the country will be
in a frame of mind at Christmas
time to give expression to all it's
anxiety and hope by showing and
renewing evidence of it's support

TUNGSTEN MINE
TO Be WORKED
NEW OWNERS OF NEVADA
SCHEELITE PLAN STEADY
OPERATIONS

A sale involving the holdings OF
the Nevada Scheelite company, oper-
ating tungsten property in the old
Minerva district, five miles southeast
of the Swallow ranch at S~hoshone,
was recently closed in Salt Lake City.
For the past week it has been cur
rently reported in Ely that such a
deal had taken place, but the Rec
ord was unable to verify the report
without consulting W. ]. Stewart, the
Superintendent, who informed us
Yesterday that such was the case.
Ever since the spring of 1916 the
Nevada Scheelite company has been
prosecuting development work on a
group of II tungsten bearing claims
in the Minerva district, with much
better success than a majority OF
the tungsten properties IN that sec
ton.
During the summer of 1916, when
ton was in the market for custom
ores to be delivered at their milling
plants at Tungsten, the Nevada
Scheelite company sold to them 225
tons of ore averaging five Per cent
tungstic acid and five tons of con-
c~entrates carrying better than 60
per ZEN tungstic acid, which at their
schedule price then prevailing
amounted to approximately $4,000.
With the withdrawal from the To-
cal market of the United States
Tungsten corporation, and the sub
sequent closing down of their min
ing operations, the Nevada Scheelite
company also ceased active opera
lions. But for the past year the lat
ter company has been continuing the
development of their property along
systematic lines with a result that
they now have mined and blocked
out, according to reliable reports,
several thousand tons of scheelite ore
carrying from one to three and one
half per cent tungstic acid.
The fact that a new crowd has
entered into the management and
control of the property augurs well
for the showing of tungsten ore in
sight.
With the retirement of the old
Nevada Scheelite company, who we
are informed have entirely disposed
Of all their stock interest and as
signed their option and bond on the
claims, Messrs. Oscar Werner and
C. B.. Van Wrinkle, prominent Los
Angeles, California operators, came
into possession of the same by turn
ing over a good substantial cash
payment.
1t is the intention of the present
owners to continue development
work during the present winter and
otherwise place the mine end in
readiness for active production
early in the spring, at which time
g. milling plant will be erected on
the ground for the treatment of the
ore. Water for the operation of
such a plant has been secured from
the Swallow ranch.-Ely Record.
