DR.. TURNER SOON
TO SEE FRANCE
Is NOW WITH SEVENTH ENGI-
NEERS AT FORT LEAV-
ENWORTH

DIR. ID. A. Turner. former physi-
clan for the Goldfield Mine Opera
tors association, who was among the
first Nevada physicians to enter the
medical reserve corps and the main
factor in the formation of the Gold
field chapter of the Red Cross, is
now in the post hospital at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, having been
transferred there from Fort Riley,
the big Kansas cavalry training
school where he received his pre-
liminary training as an officer in the
medical reserve.
He is now assigned to the Seventh
regiment of engineers and states in
recent letters received here that he
believes he will soon be on his way
to France and he a y which gives
us great joy" He says that garri-
o life, although one of ease, be-
m monotonous.
1t is commonly believed that when
physicians enter the medical reserve
corps that they have nothing to do
but tend the sick and injured from
the start and that they do not par
ticipate in the stiff preliminary train
ing that the ordinary recruit has to
go through, but this is an error, as
1t is necessary, regardless of the
capacity in which anyone enters the
United States army, that all persons
take this training and particularly
if the service is entered as an Off
Ger, as 1t is essential, before taking
, up his duties as an officer, that he
know the duties Of a private, and DR..
Turner has been and still is going
through this hard grind that entails
II and IA hours of hard drilling,
marching and study.
He says he is we'll pleased with
life at Fort Leavenworth, more SO
than at Fort Riley, which is not as
we'll equipped for the housing of
large bodies of men as Leaven-
worth. His regiment contains 1247
men. who are cared for by himself
and two other physicians. so it is
evident that time does not hang
heavily on his shoulders.
He says Uncle Sam has done much
for him and that he is getting along
exceptionally we'll and is more than
pleased with his experience in the
service.

GERMAN DEStRTtRS
LEAVING COUNTRY
TINE LIMIT HAS EXPIRED IN
WHICH CLEMENCY
POSSIBLE

ROTTERDAM, July 20. = The
period of grace for German desert
ers has just expired. All such who
had fled to Holland and other neu
trail countries, and who returned
during the stipulated period, were
by proclamation assured of Glenn
ency.
Instead of the extreme penalty
prescribed by the v German
military code, they were promised
a chance to wipe out their offence
by service at the front. All who
had not returned by July i5 for
felt their German citizenship, and,
according to the army order, may
never return to their fatherland
or hope for pardon.
There is no evidence that any
substantial number of the many
hundreds, probably thousands of
deserters in Holland returned to
martial life. On the other hand,
the latest news from the frontier
says the continued stream of deser-
ters and escaped prisoners-of-war in
the reverse direction has led to the
reinforcement of the German SEN
tries. At night a sentry is now
posted almost every hundred yards
along the border.
Clemency was not extended to
men guilty of deserving to the
enemy in the period of grace just
closed. The latest measure testi-
fies to the strenuous endeavors be-
ing made in Germany to round up
every available man to fill the gaps
rifle and bayonet in east and west.

FISH LAKE VALLEY ON
THAT DATE

All southern Nevada Elks and
members from many or the lodges
across the line in California will at
tend the big barbecue to be held
on Sept 9 at the Patterson ranch
in Fish Lake valley.

hundreds of Elks and their friends,
as each member will be permitted
to invite two guests.
The program has been arranged
as a general reunion of Elks from
southern Nevada, Bishop, Big Pine
and all of Inyo county. 1t will also
be in the nature of a camping trip,
as there will not be Facilities at the
ranch to house even a small proper
ton of the visitors, who have been
requested to take bedding with
them.
1t is believed that almost every
automobile in Goldfield will leave
with a load of passengers for the
ranch and local Elks are today Sc
curing the signatures of car own
ers who will make the trip. Fiji
ty-one car owners have already
signed in T%onOpah.

SERBIAN GIRLS
ARE KIDNAPPED
THOUSANDS ARE TAKEN AWAY
BY TURKS AND bull
GARIANS

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Ten thou
sand Serbian girls form 10 to Ia
years old have been kidnapped and
deported from Serbia to the har-
ems of Constantinople, to Bulgaria
and Asia Minor, say advises re-
ceived by M. Pasitch, the Serbian
premier, who is now in London.
These deportations," said NJ.
Pasitch, have been going on since
February, 1916, but the number
was very limited until a few weeks
ago. Now it has been systematized
under Bulgarian controllers, and it
is impossible to predict how far
it will go.
Eight thousand girls have been
sent to ConstantinOple, and 1000
more to Bulgaria and Asia Minor.
Prisoners whom we have taken on
the Saloniki front tell us hat the
traffic in our girlhood has grown
to be a byword in Bulgaria and
Turkey.
THE girls are kidnapped and
taken away secretely. particularly
from the smaller villages, until at
present dozens of small towns have
been quite denuded of the young
female population.
Il do not think that the Turks
are the actual instigatOrs of this
gross violation of the rules OF
civilized warfare. All our informa-
ton indicates that the Bulgarians
are the prime movers and the Turks
only incidental beneficiaries of the
traffic.
The girls are too young to be
of any use for labOring purposes,
besides, neither Turkey nor Bull
garia is seriously handicapped for
labor, and in Turkey the use of
young m for outdoor work is
practically unknown.
ut is very difficult for us to do
anything to help these unfortunate
victims. Our affairs in CONSTANT
nople and Sofia are now in the
hands of the Dutch government,
est possible protests through that
government. But you know how
difficult it is to get action from
Turkey. We have suggested, for
instance, that some scheme of re-
patriation be put into effect i'm
mediately, that the girls should be
sent back to some place beyond the
wal zone But I fear it Is too late
to save them, and that we can only
wait in patience until peace comes"

PAY ORE COMING
FROM GOLD REEF
BETWEEN TONOPAH AND
GOLDFTELD

Since the previous report was
made on the claims owned by
Charles Kielhofer and Claude Mar
win, situated in the Gold Reef min
ing district, a few miles south of
Tonopah, the force of men has been
engaged in sinking the shaft. The
bottom of the shaft is now IS feet
from the surface, and within the
last 20 feet a change of formation
has been encountered. Quite a bit
of quartz is now showing in the
rock, and the first assays taken
from the shaft went $6.SS per ton.
Some high-grade rock was
brought in from the property dur
ing the early part of the week by
Mr.. Kielhofer and Walter Vickers.
who is also interested in the pro-
perty. Free gold is discernable
pah, but the assays have not yet
been given out. At odd times, some
minor prospecting has been done
on the other claims in the ground.
The confidence held by the own
ers in the property is reflected in
the energetic with which
they are prosecuting development
work on the property, and the un-
covering of better values across the
width of the vein, which at the sur
face was about IA feet wide. will
demonstrate that the district is en-
titled to more consideration than it
has received up to the present time.

LIBERTY BONDS
SUPPLY MONEY
STATEMENT SHOWS HOW FUNDS
ARE USED FOR THE
WAR

Subscribers to the recent $2,000,-
OOO, 900 issue of Liberty bonds and
intending subscribers to the second
Liberty Loan are interested in know
ing just how the money obtained is
used. A large amount of money is
necessary to maintain the navy,
which has been called upon to defend
our coast and our m from
attack.
To put the navy on a war basis,
every ship in reserve had to be fully
manned and commissioned. Many
auxiliary vessels also had to be
added.
On April 6 there were 64,6S0 en-
listed men; now there are more than
10000. In addition, we have en-
listed more than $4,000 reserves and
there are 10000 national naval vol
unteers in service.
Contracts have been placed for
every destroyer and submarine chas-
er hat the shipyards of the country
can build, and new records are ex-
pected in construction. All this is in
addition to the 32,O00-ton battle
ships; the five battle cruisers of 3d.
900 tons each, the largest and swift
est war vessels ever built; the six
scout cruisers and many auxiliary
craft for which we have made con-
tracts. These will be built as early
as possible, but the right of way in
construction is being given to de-
stroyers and small craft.
Since the day war was declared
the navy has %patrolled u own
coasts. For coast defenses scores of
vessels have been secured-yachts,
fishing vessels, fast motor boats and
other minor craft, and others are be-
ing added to this force as rapidly as
possible.
The navy has sent to France a
corps of aviators, who arrived on
June 8, the first contingent of the
regular armed forces of the United
States to land on French soil. The
aeronautic corps has been greatly
enlarged, aviation bases established
along the coast, and officers and men
trained in the operation of sea
planes, dirigible balloons and other
types of aircraft. An additional ap-
preparation of $45, 900, 900 has been
asked for aviation.
About $4,000, 900 is involved in
the entire building program in Il
navy yards, training stations, subma-
rine and aviation bases, the big stor-
age warehouses we are building for
munitions and supplies, the new
shops, foundries, shipways, the huge
drydocks, and the various structures
under way or provided for.
The marine corps has more than
doubled in enlisted strength since
the war began. On April 6 there
were in the corps 426 commissioned
officers and 1926 enlisted men. 1t

Woman Assessor In Clark

Clark county can boast of a wo-

Carthy will act as deputy during
her husbands absence in the second

"HORNSILVER MILL
WILL SOON Be
OPERATING
SILVERMINES COMPANY Il
NEARING BASIS OF BIG
PRODUCTION

BY the first of October the stock
holders of the Southwestern Mines
company, successor to the Great
Western company of ilornsilver,
will begin to receive returns on
their investment unless all fore
casts go wrong. By that time the
new 200-ton mill will be in active
operation under the management
of S. H. Brady, president of the
Silvermines. corporation of Reno.
The mill has a crushing capacity of
200 tons and a c%yaniding capacity
of $50 tons, which can easily be
increased as circumstances war
rant.
The main shaft is down to a
depth of 500 feet and sinking
rapidly to the water level which may
be encountered anywhere below the
600 level. The shaft is now in
the leached zone. This is now an
incline established by connecting
the raises from the third to the
second and from the second to the
first and then to the surface, which
will be sunk continuously on the
vein to the water level. The man
agement will keep going to the
water level to reach the second
enrichment.
At present the workings are get
showing. The old shaft of the
Great Western was vertical and
sunk on the footwall, necesitating
costly drifting.
The company has several thou
sand tons which at present prices is
worth $12 per ton on the surface
awaiting the starting of the mill.
On the basis of SO cent silver, at
which the last estimate was made
the average of the mine will be SIS
as the ore carries 2S ounces of sill
yer and $3.50 in gold, making the
present value better than $25 a
ton. The company is working 40
men in the mine and on construc-
ton and boasts of one of the best
appointed properties in the state.
From the old Homestake mine at
Rhyolite the company procured the
steel hopper bins. One of these,
with a capacity of $50 tons, is To-
Gated at the shaft and, below that,
is a '10x2O Wheeling four-speed
crusher connected with a belt con-
veyor so feet in length tC the mill
where there is another 160-ton
steel hopper tank delivering into
a 6x4-foot Chalmer & Williams
ball mill, supplemented by two
4x16-foot tube mills with Door

The company owns $50 acres of
claims and tho townsite, which is
proving a valuable asset. The

GREAT ACTIVITY IN CALIPATRIA
FARM LANDS.
Farmers SeS. Wonderful Possibility
in the Construction of the New
Railroad.

Real estate is selling faster today
than it has sold in years and the "back
to the land" cry is greater than ever
now because people are realizing that
with a small farm they can be abso-
lutely independent.
Wars may come and wars may go,
business conditions may be bad or
GOOD. but the farmer is always sure
of mighty good living and with
staple crops can be assured that
there will always be a demand for
them.
Calipatria Farm Lands are the
cheapest and best to be had. Here
YOU have an assurance of an abundant
water supply at all times. You have
the best soil in the wolrd; the best
farming climate in the world; the
cheapest transportation and by buy
ing now you can take advantage OF
the present exceedingly low prices.
A man with little money can take
forty or eighty acres here and by our
plan of selling on easy terms put 1T
in crop and make the land pay for
itself. This land will never be cheap
er. It is bound to advance in value
as land everywhere is worth what it
will net per acre.
Buy that Farm now. Go to Clai-
patria at once and let Mr.. H. H. Clark,
the agent for these Calipatria Farms,
show you what others are doing and
what you yourself can do-Ad12-13-l4
