reports of prominent engineers, is
one of the big things of this section
The vein is a mass of oxidized ore
fully 200 feet between walls, the
values being in copper
Associated with Mr. LeClair in the
corporation is w. c.. Rannells, for
merly mine manager of the Brittania
Copper company on Howe Sound,
British Columbia, the big copper

in 90 days
]. P. Lotus is director of the
new company and was formerly a
heavy mine operator at Goldfeld
He sold to the Goldfield Consolidated
the Combination mine which was a
producer of millions OF dollars in
high grade ore. He was also vice
president of the Round Mountain

$450,000 in dividends and Is still
one of Nevada's great mines.
Albert j. Rigali is secretary-treas-
urer Of the company. He was at the

shortly and shaft sinking continued
to the water level, where sulphides
should be encountered. Further de-
velopment will be carried on with
churn drills and the area of mineral
ization ascertained
The American Eagle mine, situ-
aated about four miles from the LIE
Clair property, has developed a fine
body of sulphides at a depth of 65
feet. Harry LeClair was in charge
of this property and brought it to
the producing stage. Mr.. LeClair
reported that everything at the
properties is progressing nicely and
that he expected the new develop
ments to make big mines of both
properties.

the war department.
If bootleggers cross the ferry at
night 1t appears 1t would be up to
the sheriff's Office to put on a night
shift. If every tourist passing
through Parker is going to be look
ed upon as a suspected bootlegger
the Parker auto route may as we'll

Churn drill operations have been
stopped at the property of the Par

is now making arrangements for
the installation of a core drill The
churn drill did not prove much of a

Growing a Character.

Character is what you are. Repu-
tation is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are so well balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9TH
er, says Grit. But more often the one
is libel on the other. Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends on who re-
ports you. Friends are always chari-
table and interpret our lives to best adj
vantage. Enemies can see no good in
us and report as they see. So repu-
tation may flatter or condemn. Not
so with character This Is something
beyond external observation. II is the
life itself as lived amidst its motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
its real value, for even you do not al
ways know just what you are capable
Of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are In
the face of severe testing is character

INSURANCE POPULAR AT CAMP
Custer Soldiers Take Advantage of
Governments Low Rate.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek.-Sol-
iiers of the National Army at Camp
Custer have been quick to show their
appreciation of the low insurance rate
offered by the government.
The first days subscription totaled
s1,220,000, and this before the officers
had even had a chance TO explain the
proposition to the men.
An enlisted man 80 years of age can
carry the maximum policy of $4,000
for $3.50 a month. Every man, the
war department believes, can afford
such policy.
Entitled to apply for this insurance
are: Commissioned officers, non
commissioned officers, any person
whether male or female, enlisted, en-
rolled or drafted into active service
in the military or naval forces Of the
United States, and any member of the
army nurse corps. Insurance may be
applied for one or more Of the follow
ing persons: Husband or wife, child
grandchild, parents, grandparents,
step-parents and brother or sister.
Insurance will be paid in monthly
installments at the rate of 1915 per
thousand a year, this makes the
monthly premium approximately As
cents a month for each $1,000 insur-
ance taken out.

SHIFT ARTISANS AT CUSTER
Under Government Plan Divisions Will
Ee Equally Balanced.

Camp Custer. Battle Creek-Import-
ant advice3 which have been officially
received from Washington foretell the
reorganization of every one of the II
national army environments in the Uni
ted States.
II has been found that tho IL divi-
sions are not equally balanced in the
point of skilled men of various trades.
and an interchange of men is to be
effected.
The S5th division, for instance, has
probably far more automobile workers
and other mechanics than any other
division in the country, owing to the
fact that so many of its recruits have
been drawn from Detroit. Lansing,
Flint, Pontiac and other cities where
many automobiles arc made. A divl-
sion recruited from southern states,
where there are no automobile factor
ies, would naturally have few such
men.
The plan is to find from the muster
ing Office records of each division, the
total number of men in each trade or
profession, and divide these evenly
among all the divisions.

CALLS BOYS TO THE CoL0RS
President Wilson Asks All Between
Ages of Sixteen and Twenty-one
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men of the country between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon by
President Wilson to serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In Il letter made
public by Secretary Wilson of the la
Dor department, the president says 1t
is the patriotic duty Of these young
men to use their spare time in produc-
tive work and help support the nation
in the present crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me TO express my great APP
probation of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve Of the employment service
Of the department Of labor. To give to
the young men between the ages of six
teen and twenty-one the privilege of
spending their spare time in productive
enterprises without interrupting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the forces
1T lilt lIoLl anu lit maintenance VI
thoes whose services are needed here.
1t is a high privilege, no less than a
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work in
this great crisis.
Let me express the hope that the
young men Of the country not now per-
manently employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve TO fit them
selves by training and study for good
citizenship and productive service In
this way they can show themselves
worthy of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past, sus-
tain their patriotic brothers who are
fighting for it today, and command the
affectionate pride OF the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens
at home"

University Functions.

What is the matter with our univer-
stiles is that all the students are
schOolboys, whereas il is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes George
Bernard Shaw. The function of a uni
Versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramophones. We
go 10 them to be sOcialized to acquire
the hall mark of communal training
TO become citizens of the world in
stead of inmates of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes; TO learn
manners and become interchangeable
ladies and gentlemen. The social pres
sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities of adults
as working members of the general
community, not that of barbarous rab.
bic of half emancipated sehoOlboys anf
unemancipatable pedants.

WORKMEN HOLD UP

PLUMBERS AND STEAMFlTTERS
BLAMED FOR DELAY
AT CUSTER.
MEN PAID 81 CENTS AN HOUR
In Spite of High Wage, Large Num-
Der Refuse to Work-Hinted That
German Money Backs Plot.

Camp Cus,er, Battle Creek.-That a
coterie of plumbers and steamfitters,
working in opposition to union prin-
ciples and apparently actuated by
German dollars and un-American
ethics, are not only responsible for a
three-week delay in completion of
heating units, but for endangering the
health and lives Of soldiers by com.
polling them to sleep in chilly bar
racks, is the belief Of students of the
building situation here.
In an endeavor to complete the
heating plants as soon as possible,
the superintendent and foremen on
the ground have handled the men
tenderly. 1t is said they would
quit singly and in punches at a
suggestion of more speed for the 81
cents an hour that they are receiv-
ing.
Weeks ago it was decided TO give
the pay named, which with Sundays
and overtime enables many to make
nearly $40 a week, in order that
men would be attracted to the job
and the plants gotten in operation
rapidly. But instead of becoming
better. the situation is getting
worse.
1t is known in this connection
that a general investigation is
being made to find the persons re.
sponsible for this and other condi-
tions, many of which are more Sc
rious in the state than in camp.
Reports that men are underfed, not
properly clothed, lack proper med
ical attendance, and that their Off
GERS do not treat them properly are
being traced to their source.
That these reports are without
foundation is apparent to anyone who
desires may readily acquaint them
selves with true facts.
In all likelihood, sensational de-
velopments will come in a short
time.
