1t is impossible for any outside au-

dominion, power and control over the

should be. 1t Is perfectly foolish for
people to amass fund Of money al
then vest the control of that money In
some far away power that they have

to appoint and unappoint those who
will be the guardian of that money.

NEW ZINC FIND
At YELLOW PINE
HIGH-GRADE ORE FOUND IN
PROPERTY NEAR MAIN
STRIKE

The work which for months has
been under way in the Prairie
Flower under the direction of Man
ager James Ashbaugh, vas crowded
with success this week when a
strong body of high-grade zinc-lead
ore was encountered in the north
drift from the new shaft OH Il .
200 level.
Believing that the same ore zone
which is being worked with such
success in the Yellow Pine mine
could be cut by careful exploration
on the ground of the Prairie Flower,
Mr.. Ashbaugh began work about
the first of the year on an incline
shaft running toward the north
west at a dip of about So degrees.
Sinking this to a depth of 200 feet
he proceeded to drift in both di-
rections following near the contact
between the lime and prophyry for
nations.
The north drift has reached a
distance of 10 feet from the bot
tom of the shaft and at this point
has cut a strong. we'll defined body
of ore which shows every sign of
being a big one. The ore appears
to be identical in character with the
big ore bodies recently opened on
the 700 foot north drift Of the Yc!-
low Pine and averages 55 ser cent
in two metals, lead and zinc.
The significance of this strike
may be understood when it is said
that the drift in which it was made
is approximately at the same depth
in the formation as the 700 foot
level of the Yellow Pine. The ore
occurs in a we'll defined cross fault
and the whole appearance of the
formation is favorable for a big
ore body. The entire camp is en-
Unused over the strike and further
developments will be watched with
great interest. = Goodsprings Ga.

HAS OPTION ON
CINNABAR MINE
RETORTS ARE RECOVERING
QUICKSILVER ON ELKO
COUNTY CLAIMS


What is said to be the biggest
surface showing of cinnabar ever
found in America has recently been
optioned to wealthy eastern capital
lists who are prominent in the pow
der manufacturing world, and their
representatives will take possession
on the first of the month, according
to T. F. O'Brien, who was formerly
in charge of the property.
The property is in Elko county.
about seventeen miles east of Gold
Circle, and was discovered a year
ago by w. c. Davis, who has a
number of good discoveries to his
credit. There are $50 claims in
the group, with big blowouts of
cinnabar in the rhyolite. The sur
face stuff will average one per cent
in quicksilver. and as the latter is
now quoted at $110 a flask that
grade of ore will pay well-in fact
would pay at before-the-war prices.
Six retorts are now in commission
treating about six tons per day of
the high-grade ore, the product
from this being three TASKS of
quicksilver daily. The new owners
plan to erect a 100 ton furnace, and
the retorts will then be used to
treat the SCOT from the furnace.
Mr.. O'Brien also brings word that
the tin mine north of Battle Noun
tain which was discovered some
months ago and is owned by Messrs.
Russell and Brooks of Elko will be
in active operation before many
days. One of the most prominent
mining men of Salt Lake, who Is
well known in Nevada. has become
interested and it is a certainty that
he will give the ground a thorough
test.
There are over 100 claims in this
group and some of the ground is
said to average SIS a yard in
placer tin. 1t is expected to bring
water from Antelope creek, some 10
miles away and it is probable that
a reduction plant will eventually be
erected on the ground as the cost o.
treatment in the eastern smelters is
very high.-Elko Independent.

MOTOR FLEETS
FOR RED CROSS
FIRST UNITS OF TRUCK TRANS
PORTS GOING FORWARD
TO FRANCE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10
AS a part of the organizations which
the American Red Cross is building
for relief work in France, a fleet
of motor transports is being formed
at the request of Major Grayson
Murphy who is in charge of Red
Cross work in France.
The first unit of trucks is now
being forwarded. 1t is hoped even
tually to organize such an efficient
and we'll equipped transport SER
vice that the Red Cross supplies
may be carried without delay to
any point needed, and without plac-
my any additional burden upon
the already overloaded railroads of
France.
The unit now being forwarded
will be completely equipped and
manned, ready for immediate ser
vice. Fifty experienced men, in
Guiding drivers, mechanics, body
builders, painters and other crafts
n."n will he included in the per-
mel. Practically all of these men
will receive special training in their
respective tasks and will be given
sufficient military instruction to
meet the requirements of service
with the fighting forces in Europe.
The work is being carried out un-
der the personal supervision of an
experienced railroad executive. He
is giving his entire time to the Red
Cross in helping to solve the ire
mendous transportation problems
which have to be faced in furnish
ing tangible assistance to the armies
of the United States and her allies,
as we'll as the stricken civilian
populations of of Europe.

OUTPUT
IS INCREASING
COPPER PRODUCTION REACHES
BIG FIGURE FROM MANY
CLAIMS

With several properties shipping
heavily, a numDe OF rich copper
and silver discoveries recently made.
and new producers on the eve OF
yielding largely, the entire Luning
district is displaying the greatest
activity of its eventful history. The
Pilot Copper company has decided on
the building of a teaching plant, to
treat custom ore in addition to COM
pany product, and shipments from
many properties have been lately in
creased. Recent work on the prin-
cipal producers has demonstrated
that the ore bodies are more extern
sive and deep-seated than generally
supposed, and indications are pro-
nounced excellent by conservative
engineers for Luning becoming II
of the greatest copper producing
fields of the entire west.
At the Luning-Idaho group two
powerful hoists have been installed.
and a large compressor and machine
drills placed in operation. AS soon
rs the Hahn tunnel has been COM
pleted sinking Of a 5O0-foot working
shaft will start. to open to advan-
tage immense deposits of sulphida
ore known to carry excellent values
in copper and silver.
The Hahn tunnel has advanced to
a point 6S5 feet from it's portal and
entered a copper-stained formation.
Within a short time it is expected
to intersect at a depth of 200 feet
the rich orebody exposed near the
surface on the Sophie claim, where
ore ~assaying around SASS per ton
was lately discovered. This pro luct
assays $50 ounces silver and over
six per zen copper, with gold also
slIowing.-Reno Gazette.

RAILROAD MEN WILL
RECEIVE BONUSES

Eighty-siX employees of the Paci-
fic system of the Southern Pacific
company who left the service of
the company to enter the army o r
navy have been made happy by the
announcement that nearly $4,000
in bonuses will be paid them by the
railroad.
BY leaving the employ of the
the sc employees actually
forfeited all claim to the second
half of the 10 per cen bonus. which
was payable June 80 to employees in
active service.
Notice came recently directing
that such break in the service as
was occasioned by enlistment be
waived, and the bonuses paid.
This action is in line with the
Southern Pacific's policy to lend
every possible support to the gov
eminent in the national crisis
