The Teuton artillery is outranged by

BRITISH MONITORS AID ITALY,
London, Nov. 19.-British monitors
are in action against the Austro-Ger-
man troops in the Neechia region, striv-
ing to hold back the Teuton invaders
from Venice. This is the first an
nouncement Of British cooperation
made from Rome. Rome dispatches
contain the encouraging news that the
Italian lines everywhere are holding
strongly. Fierce artillery duels are in
progress along the whole 50-mile front
Of the Piave.
In the mountain lands the Italians are
holding on desperately to their posi-
tons. A Rome dispatch today report
ed this army is literally battling inch by
inch against the Austrians and holding
them sufficiently to give evidence of the
defeat of the enemy's plan to turn the
| Piave river line.
Here in London it is declared that if
the front is maintained for a few more
days the worst danger will be past. By
that time 1T is estimated here that
British and French troops will be at
the front making their strength felt.

EYES OF ENTIRE COUNTRY
FOCUSED ON WOMEN JURORS

People who live thousands of miles
from Nevada will, for the next few
months, keep a weather eye on the
thriving little city of Reno, to watch
the results which the present grand
jury, three of the members of which
are women. will achieve. These three
women, from all accounts, stand high
in the community. They are women
who know what conditions are in
their home city, and, ii seems, brave
enough to seak their convictions. If
there are social conditions there, as
in most cities, which need more thor
ough investigation and more light
than they have received at the hands
of the men, these will argue strongly
for universal suffrage and for better
government, if the tacit policy of con-
doning those things which we refuse
to see is forgotten.-[Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

FAMOUS
HUMBOLDT MINE

Gently been taken over by the Sheba
Mining Company, an organization
composed in part of Reno residents,
and plans are now under way to build
a mill at the mine and operate the
property on a big scale.
The old Humboldt mine flourished
in the early sixties and the town of
Humboldt sprang up near it. This
town was a lively mining camp and
the old buildings, many of which are
still standing, give ample evidence of
the prosperity of the place.
An old Arastra is still there. and
old-timers tell of the high-grade
rock which was treated by it and the
fortunes taken out in free gold, while
handled by the crude processes of
those days. was shipped by pack train
to San Francisco and thence around
the Horn to Swansea, Wales, at a
handsome profit.
There were several owners of the
property in the pioneer days and,
according to the old-timers, disagree
ments were numerous and eventually
became disastrous to the property.
which has only been worked at in
tervals for several years.
The property has been opened up
r. I'll,
are in good shape, and it is expected
that a small amount of work will
place it again in the list of pro-
ducers.
At the present time three men are
at work driving the lower tunrel
through to cut the vein at depth of
1000 feet from the surface.
The Sheba Mining Company is in
corporated under the laws of Nevada
and is capitalized for 100000, with
its principal Office in Reno. The Off
GERS are: Lem Broughton, president

All of the stock is owned by the
officers of the company and none Of
it is for sale, as the company has
