LIGHTNING HITS
POWER CO.. POLES
TOWN WITHOUT LIGHT FROM
: u. NJ. UNTIL MID
NIGHT

1t is generally agreed that last
night was one of the darkest nights
ever experienced in Goldfield, the
sky being starless and there being
no lights from Z o'clock until mid
night.
The lack of light and power was
caused by two poles of the Nevada"
California Power company beng
struck by lightning between Gold
field and Alkali. Before the poles
were struck there had been trouble
on main lines at other places, but
the burning of the poles left the
town without light and power. The
branch line into Goldfield was the
only line that the storm of last
night damaged to any extent and it
was the first time in five wears that
this stretch of line has been dam
aged by storms.

CONSOLIDATED Mine
Opening Big TONNAGE Of ORE
(By James F. O'Brien)

Walter f.. Trent, president, and
DR.. l.. A. Dessar of New York. sec
retary-treasurer of the Louisiana
Consolidated Mining company, are in
Reno after their return from Typo,
where they inspected the famous old
mine being operated by their COM
pany. They also visited the Pearl
and Zenda mines in Kern county,
Cal, which have recently been pur-
chased by the Louisiana company
Both are highly enthusiastic over
late developments at the Typo mine,
most recent purchases.
Steady shipments are being main
tanned from IN orebody on the 800
foot level of the Typo mine, which IS
eight feet in width and averages 20
per cent lead, so ounces in silver and
81 in gold to the ton. This figures
better than SIS per ton and nets the
company a very substantial profit
after all expenses have been de-
Quoted.
The ore now being shipped is COM
ing from the foot-wall vein and from
this one opening alone 20 tons a day
of high-grade ore is being taken out.
AS this vein has not been stopped at
any other point between the 200 and
the 400-foot levels present indica-
tions are hat the amount of ship
ping ore heretofore counted on will
be doubled.
The main production of the mine
up to this date has come from the
hanging wall of the vein. but a cross
cut through the andesite dixie at the
400-foot level reached a four-foot
body of ore on the foot-wall which
averages SLY to the ton. a raise
was put up on this ore to the 800
foot level. the oreoody maintaining
the average width of -four feet for
the entire distance. However. de-
velopment work at the 800 was I'M
der way but a short time when the
ore widened to eight feet with 10
diminution in the values.
The hanging-wall vein, as devel-
oped between the 800 and 4O0-foot
levels, gives about $4,000 tons of
ore having an average value of $50
to the ton. The width of the ship
ping ore is from three to foul feet,
with three feet of milling ore along
side. The foot-wall vein appears
now to be richer and larger than
that on the hanging wall side and
greatly adds to the actual and pros
pective value of the mine.
At the present writing five trucks
with trailsrs attached, are hauling
out ore. and five more are being
sent from Reno. The Louisiana COM
pany expects to ship $4,000 worth
of ore this month, 20 increase to
500, 900 in September, and to
maintain this latter production i'll

CHANGE is SHOWN IN
RECRUITING METHODS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IA
A letter dated in 1893 from the
premier marine corps recruiting Of
ficer to then commandant of tina.
corps, setting forth some of the re-
cruiting methods of that time, was
made public at marine corps head
quarters. Comparison of present
day recruiting activities with those
of the 18th century is interesting.
Lieut.. Halls letter reads: Il pur-
pose this week to open ~rendevouz

and make frolic to draw the peo-
pie together which l think will have
a good effect. There are some in

Present day recruiting officers
require declarations from accepted
men that they have never been con-
victed of any crime.

program the effectiveness of the
United States in the European war
will be largely reduced. Germany is
counting implicitly on destroying
more ships than are built to prevent
America from participating extern
sively in the war. The submarine
program is making more rapid prog
ress than the s%hipbuilding program.
For these reasons the federal gov
eminent is putting the building of
ships as the primary patriotic duty
of the people of the country, and
urging every person who can aid in
the work to take it up with as much
reverence and as much sense of duty
as if they we're enlisting in the army.
Americas food, munitions, arms
and men cannot reach Europe with
out an adequate supply of ships.
Best authorities declare these should
be built of steel and wood as rapidly
as the forces of the country can be
marshalled for the work.
In the emergency every man who
has any mechanical or artisan skill
whatever is being adapted to some
part of ship construction, wherever
he desires to work. 1t has been nee
essary to teach labor to do classes
of work it has never undertaken be-
fore. All the facilities for such in
struction are being provided by the
shin Yards. the government and the
state, and men are having an oppor-
tunity to take up lines of employ
ment never presented before at the
best wages that have been known in
the Pacific northwest and perhaps
the country.

MINT AT CARSON
TO BUY SILVER
BELIEVED PRIVILEGE OF COIN
ING MONEY Is FORTH
COMING

A telegram has been received in
Carson from Senator Pittman stat
ing that the director of the mint has
issued an order that the Carson
mint purchase bullion when one
fifth is gold. This will permit the
purchase of bullion from practical
ly all the mines of the state.
Heretofore the mine, which has
been operated as an assay office,
has been handicapped by the fact
that it could only purchase gold
bullion that assayed better than $40
an ounce.
1t is thought hat this concession
on the part of the government can
be used as a lever to gain coinage
privileges for the mint.

WORK OUTLINED
FOR RED CROSS
SANITARY UNITS TO FIGHT IN
VICINITY OF
CAMPS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10
Following it's policy of caring for
the health not only of the soldiers
and sailors of the United States, but
as well that of the civil population,
the American Red Cross has estab-
lished a bureau of sanitary service
which will supplement and assist
federal, state and local health au-
thorities in meeting sanitary emer-
gencies created by the war. The
Aprk of the bureau will center in the
william areas surrounding army can
fonments.
While sanitary control of national
army cantonments, national guard
camps and naval bases will be exer-
cised by the military authorities, the
districts Immediately adjoining these
camps will be under no such juris-
diction. Yet the assembling of large
bodies of troops will create new
sanitary conditions. These must be
met to safeguard the health of civ
ilians as we'll as of soldiers.
The problem of milk supply, for
example, will be greatly enlarged.
The supply itself must be doubled
and sometimes trebled, and this
means increased forces for inspec-
ton. In the southern states, where
malaria is a danger, the Red Cross
- -1rooJ- lnrta l. ON nffnrfc Look
ing toward the determination of mos
uuitoes. They must be eliminated
not only in the camps proper, but In
the surrounding country. Cleaning
up pools and other breeding places
within a mile radius of camps will
mean covering from Is to 60 square
miles.
When local health authorities are
insufficiently equipped to meet these
added problems, the Red Cross Will
offer the assistance of it's bureau of
sanitary service. 1t will take the
lead only upon invitation of the local
organization in charge of sanitation.
The public health service will act
as the advance agent, deciding in
conjunction with the local authori-
ties what measures are necessary and
how much equipment it will take to
meet adequately the new conditions.
Whenever requested by state au-
thorities, coupled with a recommen-
dation of the public health service,
the Red Cross will furnish any i'm
portant military area with a SAM
tary unit. This will consist of the
required number of psychologists,
supervising and subordinate sanitary
inspectors. public health nurses and
assistants. The Red Cross Will be
prepared to furnish this unit with
equipment and maintenance, lnclud-
ing laboratory equipment, transpor-
tation and such supplies as disinfect-
ants and screening to enable the
poor TO carry out the requisite sani-
tary precautions in their homes.

PETERSON LESSEES
GETTING GOOD ORE

Clyde TilfOrd, who is associated
in a lease on the Peterson property
at Hamilton with Charles Osterlund
and A. J.. Cartwright, came owe
from camp during the week to
look after some business affairs.
He reports that for some time past
he has been taking out ore worth
about 1925 per ton. Ten tons of
ore was taken out last week and
sacked for shipment, but it seems
almost impossible to secure trans
portation from the mines to the
railroad.-Ely Record.

present terminus of the Nevada
California Power company's line, to
Typo, and a mill will be built to
concentrate the low-grade ores and
make a separation of the zinc and
lead The mill is now being designed
and will be erected on the site of
the 20-stamp mill which vas built
by former owners.
The company will sort the ore as
it is mined, maintaining an average
of 500 per ton for the shipping
producer. The balance of the ore will
be concentrated and it is figured that
the concentrates will run about $3.50
per ton. Transportation is the lin
iting feature of the operations and
the ore must be graded as high as
possible to take full advantage of
the transportation tonnage afforded
by 10 trucks and trailers.
The Louisiana company has acquir-
ed the property of the Typo Lead
company. which adjoins the main
Typo mine, and a shaft will be sunk
at once on this property, which has
the west extension of the Typo vein.
1t is anticipated that this section
of the vein will be just as produc-
tive as the main property.
Sinking of the main Typo shaft
from the 400 level will commence
during the month and will be on
tinued until the 500 level is reached.
The management predicts a produc-
ton of $4,000 900 for every 100
feet below the 400 level. Inspection
of the mine is open to all visitors,
and engineers from Tonopah, Gold
field and Manhattan are constantly
arriving in Typo to note lev devel-
opments.
The Louisiana Consolidated has
purchased the Pearl and Zenda
mines in Kern county, Cal, and act
i've operations under Louisiana man
agement will commence there during
the month. This property is a large
low-grade silver-gold deposit which
is worked on the open-cut system.
The company estimates that there
is 800 900 tons of ore in sight hav-
ing a value of $3.50 to the ton, and
also estimates that reasonable ex-
penditure and development will
prove 1000, 900 tons of ore. The
present mill will be enlarged to "A
daily capacity of 100 tons. and will
afterward be gradually enlarged to
a capacity of $50 tons a day as de-
velopment proceeds. The manage
ment figures that the total costs of
mining and milling at this property
will not exceed SO per ton.
Julius Siegbort of New York, vice
president and director of the Louis
lana company, is expected here this
month to make an inspection of the
Typo and Zenda mines. Leslie Nc
Curdy and Thomas Roberts, both
important stockholders in the COM
pany, are also en- route from their
New York homes on the same mis-
sion.

nerville. which was stopped last
spring by high water, is again un-
der way. The water is now low and
a cofferdam is being built in front
of the main structure to permit the
concrete work to be finished. The
entire face of the dam is to be bulk
headed with rock. while on both
sides of the river the banks will be
concerted. The dam will be COM
pleted within a short time and the

was notified that beavers in a creek
near Metropolis had damned
streams and caused the water to be
diverted over the county roads.
Permission was asked to kill the
