The master list for the ~selective
draft arrived in Goldfield on yester-
day mornings train and is now in
the hands of the local exemption
board, but mainly I'm the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Box. who is wrestling
with it to prepare it for checking
by the exemption board, and Box has
a job on his hands that anyone who
has checked previous draft figures
will appreciate.
Heretofore il has been known thai
the lists were not accurate and that
the result of the checking would not
be accurate, but the master list that
Boz has is accurate and ii will be
necessary for him to compile an ac-
curate list for presentation to the
board.
The master list contains every
number drawn, 10,50O. 1t is clearly
printed in black-face type and from
it a list of numbers from one to
375, in the order in which they we're
drawn, must be prepared for this
county.
h first duty is to prepare a list
of the first rs numbers drawn,
which is 200 per cent of Esmeralda
%county's quota. 1t is believed that
this list will be ready and posted to-
morrow.
After posting, the rs numbers will
be divided into three equal parts.
men in the first third will be mott
fled to appear before the exemption
board five days after the list is post
ed, men in the second third, six days
after, and men in last third seven
days after. The posting of the no.
tees on the bulletin board at the
court house door will be deemed suf-
ficient notification, although the
numbers will be published and the
men will be notified by mail to the
addresses on their registration
cards.
1t is thought examinations will be
conducted in the sheriff's office,
where instruments used in the Der
tillon system are available.
Each man will go before the eX-
'mption board for physical examine
ton and on the evening of the sew
enth day, after the entire IS have
been examined, the name of every
person who is physically qualified
and by whom or in behalf of whom
40 claim of exemption has been filed
will be posted and forwarded to the
district exemption board.
There will then remain with the
local board only those cases in
which claims for exemption have
been filed. AS fast as proof, as pre-
scrlbed in the regulations, is filed in
an! case, the board is allowed three
days in which to decide that case.
Provost MaIshal-General Or, WIDER
that the selective machiE-
cry will require at least 10 days to
turn out for military service even
those men who claim exemption, if
absolutely no time is lost by avoid
able delay.
These plans are taken from Of
ficial instructions now in possession
of the local exemption board and
cover the draft as far as Instructions
been received.
1t is not improbable that the
board will require volunteer assist
ance, for instance, the services of a
male stenographer to fill out blanks
as the men are examined would be
a great aid to DR.. j. l.. Mccarthy. on
whom most of the work of the board
will fall.
He estimates that each man can
be examined in less than 10 minutes
and it is believed that this can be
made an average if the services OF
an expert typewriter can be obtained.
The doctor is anticipating three
busy days in the near future, as even
if an average of 10 minutes to The
can te maintained. it would re-
quire -four hours and 20 minutes TO
each third. or 26 men. The
officially corrected lists will be pub
lished in the Tribune when avail
able.
