makes his report, army men declared
last night, the most dramatic story OF
army aviation history will remain ,un-

AS far as is known, Robertson has
so far refused to divulge the purpose
OF the flight into Mexico that ended
so disastrously. As soon as Bishop

be launched.
War Department officials here said
the question of a probe is UP to the

be shown that the department OF the
West was negligent or exceeded their
powers in the alleged permission for

WELTON, Ariz.. Jan. 21.-A weary
party Of rescuers is carrying Lieutenant
Colonel Bishop, army aviator. across a
muddy desert on a stretcher. They are
expected to reach here some time today.
Army medical authorities believe be-
cause of the slow progress being made
Bishops weakness must be extreme.
W. F. Gamble. a member Of the ex-
pedition that found Bishop lying prone
on the sands. arrived in Welton last
night. He said he met the ambulance

their way to the rescue. Because Of

P|OCHE DISTRICT
IS MORE ACTIVE
PRINCE CONSOLIDATED LEADS
IN SCOPE OF ITS
WORK

Lively interest is being centered
over the Princess Consolidated side
of the district.
While the Prince Consolidated is
maintaining it's usual aggressive pol
icy, and is shipping ore at the rate
of 40 IONS per day, the management
of the Virginia-Louise Mining COM
pany is shaping its plans for the in
auguration of a campaign of inten-
sive production.
In line with this program, the big
hosting engine formerly in use at
moved to the property to replace the
small plant which has done service
at the Virginia-Louise during the
development stages. A new gallows
frame. much larger than the present
one, and intended for a long era of
service, is to be erected also.
The Virginia-Louise company has
purchased the large bunk house
and other buildings at the Boston
and Phoebe property. These struc-
lures have been torn down and the
material is being moved over to the
Virginia-Louise, where they are to be
made into comfortable quarters for
employees of the company.
All this activity indicates hat the
Virginia-Louise people are losing no
time in getting ready for action at
the earliest possible moment.
Neighbor to the Prince Con. and
Virginia-Louise is the Division pat
ented lode claim, which is also the
scene of a vigorous development
campaign at the present time under
the direction of the management of
the Davidson Mining company.
The stock of the corporation is
owned by the Prince Consolidated,
and this title is vested in a three
fourths interest in the claim. The
remaining on~e-fourth is owned by
lDF. II. u. f1Gll u DdiStOW' ,oi,
which is not included in the David
son corporation.
The Davidson corporation has
been carrying on a quiet but vigor-
Gus development campaign for sew
eral months, and according to most
reliable information has opened up
some very extensive bodies of COM
mercial ore. An incline shaft has
been sunk 416 feet. is well timbered
and bears every evidence of being
intended for extensive and perma-
nent service.
A vertical shaft has also been
put down $50 feet. which is we'll con-
structed. Cross-cuts have been run
off from both these new shafts and

have a width of at least 20 feet. the

at other points in the mine.
Instersecting developments are also
being made in the Ophir mine,
where work is being carried on to

To Repair TOnOpah-Ely Road

At a recent meeting of the Tono-
pah good roads boosters with state
and national highway engineers it
was agreed that the road between
Tonopah and Ely should be repair
ed and during the coming year
the sum of $4,000 will be expend-
ed, Nye county performing the work
to the White Pine county line. A
seven-cent tax has been provided in
Nye county for road building, which
will provide about $1,000. For every
dollar expended by the county the
states will furnish an equal amount,
while the federal government will
provide a sum equaling the state and
county sums. Thus with the $1,000
that will be available in the county
from taxes, $4,000 will be spent
on the road next year.

AMERICANS FIND
TIME FOR PLAY
MEN OF FIOTILLA ENTERTAIN
ED AT SAILORS CLUB
HOUSE

BASE AMERICAN FLOTlLLA
IN BRITISH WATERS, Oct. 21.-
The smallest American sailor in the
whole European flotilla has the
, place of honor in the orchestra at
the Sailors Club House here, and
plays the biggest bass viol that has
ever been seen in Ireland. He
! comes from Chicago, and his instru-
ment overtops him by a clean two
feet when they are standing side
by side. When he is seated, he is
completely hidden beyond the in
strument.
There are 50 pieces in the Ameri-
can orchestra, and by special ar
rangement with publishers in
America, they receive proof sheets
of all the latest American music
and are playing it in their hut on
the shores of Ireland almost before
it has appeared in New York.
The orchestra leader is a pay
clerk on the flagship of the flotilla
who devotes several hours each day
to practicing new music with his
ambitious musicians. They must
learn a new set of music each week
to go with the ever-changing bill of
entertainment provided for the sail
ors. The leader is an organizer
who has by sheer perseverance
whipped into shape an orchestra
that delights the men of the flo
tilla. British and American naval
and British military officers of
high rank are among the most APP
preciative in the audiences of every
Friday and Saturday night.
Moving pictures are always a
part of these shows. the comics be-
ing especially welcomed by the
sailors. whose loud outlaws are in
themselves enough to produce a
laugh. The newest feature. sug-
gested by the orchestra leader. is
the singing by the entire audience
Of the latest American songs. The
words are thrown on a large screen
and are sung with a will by the
sailors.
In these audiences of between
500 and 600 there always is a gen.
erous sprinkling of British sailors
and soldiers who are urged to avail
themselves of all the privileges of
the clubhouse. They.can even sleep
there overnight in large dormitories
provided for all men in either
branch of service who may have
overnight liberty from ship or bar
racks. For a clean, comfortable
bed and a shower bath the nominal
charge of a shilling is made. The
best food ashore is cooked on the
premises and served at cost price.
The only discordant note in con-
nection with the club m from
the native population because they
are not permitted to view its VOL
ders. They must be content to
stand outside and listen to the
music and laughter of the happy
men in uniform. 1t was explained
tc them that their own town

behest of the proprietors Of the

Encouraging reports continue to
come from the northend of the Com
stock, especially at the Union Con.
mine, where further important de-
velopments have been made the past
few days which add greatly to the
potentialities of the property. On
the $500 level, from the north drift
an east cross-cut beng extended in
the direction of the hanging wall of
the vein has broken into good ore,
and the last car samples show aver
age values of about $25 to the ton.
The roof and south side appear to
be a better grade of ore and a width
of about nine feet is exposed on the
south side. There is also an i'm
provement working south from the
where the last 16 cars of ore taken
out in the advance gave an average
of $3.50 per ton. Three feet in the
face have given samples of $11O
to the ton, and three feet next
to it $40. The course of the vein is
changing it's direction and values
are about one-half in silver. COndi-

cidedly better.

Citizens Turn Out With Band to
Bid Farewell t. Soldier
Boys

Esmeralda county's last group of
men to leave for American Lake un-
der the present draft left here this
morning amid the cheering OF
hundreds of people who gathered al
the depot to bid them goodbye.
Several hundred school children
marched in the procession to the de-
pot, where the ~high-school pupils
gave the school yell in honor o.
Leslie Willard. former instructor ir
commercial subjects, and Ralph
Witt, a graduate of the school. Witt
William M. Sara of Hornsilver II
George L. Barnett, were the frs
and only married boys to leave here
in the draft and owing to numerous
unusual circumstances connected
with Wits case, which has bee
watched with interest for some
months. whether he will be accept
ed for service is a problem.
He was at first accepted by tho
local board and later, on his case
being reopened by permission of tn
attorney general, the local boart
reversed its decision and rejected
him. The district board then r
versed the latter ruling of the
board. Many here believe he vii

to defective eyesight.
The men who left here thi
morning were William NJ. Sara
Ralph d. Witt, Roy White, Peter
Sentenciah, Gordon Kibby and Les
lie Willard. Although the last two
were not members of this %county's
quota, they both had lived here for
some time and were we'll known
Willard, in particular, having made
many friends since coming here tC
accept a position in the high-school.
The county quota of 80 was COM
pleted by George |. Barnett, Bert E.
Carley, Richard |. Corum and David
F.. Alvord. The last is now in the
officers training camp at the Presi-
do and the others left from Cali
fornia cities.
The local contingent VIII be Joined
at Tonopah by only two men on
this occasion, instead of a large con
tingent as formerly. Nye county re
quired IS to complete its quota. in
Guiding two reflections. Nine of the
10 are men who have enlisted IL
the army since their names We're
posted and who have been ordere
to report at Camp Lewis and two
will leave for the training camp
from places outside Tonopah.
This morning was the first oC
casion on which poor weather greet
ed a departing contingent. but das
pite the threatening clouds which
resulted in rain before the parade
reached the depot, the turnout o
citizens was large and the boys
were given a big send-Off.
AS the train was about to pul
out the rain became heavy an
during the playing of The Star
Spangled Banner by the band tn
big crowd stood with barred heads
in a heavy %downpour.
Mother Corning again came
foreward with n of her most de
licious lunches for her departine
brood of 'Sammies-to-be'. and it
is needless to say what the boys
will do to such a lunch ere they are
long on their way.
