ALIENS ARE HARD
HIT BY NEW ORDER

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Six hun
dred thousand alien enemies of the
United States have been driven from
the barred zone thruout the country
up to midnight last night.

water front where 5OO-ton vessel
may anchor.
2-On board any ship at sea with
in three miles of land.
3-In the Panama canal zone.

fore a foreign-born person is safe.
There will be no exceptions to this
ultimate enforcement Of the regula-
tions which now are being drawn up
by Attorney General Gregory. Even
alien enemy clerks, experts,
skilled architects, draughtsmen or
what not, working in the United
States government offices, will be al
lowed to remain.
There is only one semblance to
exception. That refers to the Dis
trict of Columbia. Many cases were
submitted to the department of JUS
tiec today of persons who had lived
here for twenty and thirty years and
had been in the employment of the
government, but who had not taken
out their citizenship papers. They
appealed to stay. The answer was a
refusal. However, they will be al
lowed until December Is to make
their change. They then cannot
enter the restricted area.

MRS. H.. F. BRUCE
DIES At HOME
BODY TAKEN TO ALAMO THIS
MORNING FOR
BURIAL

Mrs. H. F. Bruce, wife of the
superintendent of the Spearhead
mine, died at the family residence.
12O North Franklin street, yester-
day morning after an illness of
about 10 days following the birth of
q baby girl. Death was from ure-
mia and was fastened by the birth
of the child.
Mrs. Bruce's father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Riggs, were here last
week but the father was unable to
remain with his daughter until
death and, although fearing that
death was near, was compelled to
leave Friday morning for his home
at Alamo, in the ~Pahranegat valley.
Mr.. Bruce, Mrs. Riggs and the
children left this morning for Ala
mo, where the funeral will be held.
Mrs. Bruce was married in Gold
field and had been a resident for
many years, being well known to
many people. She was 50 years of
age and was born in Arizona. Ner
death is particularly regretted in
view of the fact that she was the
mother of four children, all girls,
the oldest about 10 years of age.

changes having occurred since the
last report was issued.

port of the Rescue Eula Mining
company for the past week:
NO. 3 raise, is being driven from
the Wine drift, at a point towards
the west, to nne with the 1850
foot level. Up to date, the raise has
reached a height of Al feet above
the drift level, and it's face is in
3 feet of high grade ore, thus
blocking out good tOnnages Of ex-
cellent material. A drift has been
started to the east on the 1850
foot level, and in its face there is
shown about 2 feet of good milling
grade ore.

The North Star
The usual progress was made in
the cross-cut going towards the Bel
mont line in the North Star pro-
perty, and there have been inter
sected some small veins which al
together make a pretty fair show
ing, though as yet they do not
make commercial quantities of ore.
The cross-cut is now approaching
the Mizpah fault.
The east and west drifts. driven
fl ON the 1000 raise, are both show
ing good faces of quartz. containing
lew values, and the main raise from
the 1010-foOt level during the week
has disclosed a small streak of high
grade ore which is very promising,
In the event that the ore would
open out wider, the company would
make a handsome profit from the
mining of this high grade ore.
Some minor prospecting is being
done on different levels, which is
progressing satisfactorily.-Tonopah

THE idea thai the submarine

civilian obtains on this subject, the
more convinced he is that the sub

naval authorities have frankly stat
ed their admiration of the degree
OF perfection of American designs.
I'm regard to the protection of
ships against torpedo attacks, the I'M
deniable evidence of recent months
strated hat the immunity of a YES
sci depends very largely on it's speed
and maneuvering ability. There IS a
possibility thai some artificial means
of protecting cargo-carrying vessels
may be found practicable. In no
other field have so many suggestions
or so many duplicate inventions been
presented to the board"
All of the 10000 suggestions sub
mitted have had careful consider
aation, Mr.. Daniels said. and much
valuable aid has been given to vari-
Gus branches of the war service.
Many proposals, however, have been
found to be impracticable, largely
due to the failure of inventors prop
erly to inform themselves of certain
fundamental principles.
The naval consulting board and
the navy department have prepared
and are giving free distribution to
pamphlets which give general infor-
nation to inventors that they may
avoid acting upon misconceptions as
to fundamental principles with conse-
quent waste of effort.

POTASH WORKED
NEAR COALDALE
TO BE OPENING UP
GROUND

Developments at Columbus Marsh
were scheduled to begin Thursday
o this week. according to advices
from the headquarters of the Du
Point De Nemours Powder company,
which had so instructed it's repre-
sentatives at Coaldale. The pow
der company is in quest of potash
according to information which
leaked out. The first work will be
to sink four wells to a depth of
1000 feet each. 1t appears that the
marsh, which had been withdrawn
from entry, was thrown open Oct.
2 and on the same day, Du Pont
agents we're busy surveying the
ground. So successful we're they in
eluding inquiry that they located
5000 acres before any one knew of
the plans.
Preliminary drillings on the
marsh gave brines carrying three
and one-half per cent soluble pot
ash, a realization, which it is hoped
t. increase by tapping the bottom
OF the prehistoric lake at a depth
OF 1000 feet.
Among the prominent men who
have visited Columbus Marsh dur
ing the past month and who are
said to be directly interested in the
development re: S. II. Brown, di-
rector of the Californian Hawaiian
Sugar company and a member of
the firm of Medium 4 Dresser, Sac
ramento: j. w. Horstman, of the
Pacific Coast Guano and Fertilizer
company; Frank Sharp and Walter
C Williams. surveyors of Los An
geles.
The operations of the Du Point
company will not employ more than
40 men as the soluble salts will be
evaporated at the marsh and the
salts shipped to the coast for treat
ment. The company plans to build
six miles of narrow guage railroad
tn the site of the old borax refinery,
built by "Borax" Smith in the infan-
cv of the industry.
Joe Ensenberger, of Berkeley,
Cal, who represents still another
group of investors is on the ground
with a five-ton motor truck, which
he brought up from Oakland, busy
hauling lumber and supplies to his
alum mine. He has six carpenters
building houses to winter his men.
He is putting in accommodations
for 20, but this number may be in
creased. He has a carload of alum
ready for shipment.-RenO Gazette.

military service relative to all not
permanently exempted or discharg-
ed. The effect of class n is to
render every man so classified pre-
sently liable for military service in
the order determined IN the national
drawing"
The second class is granted a
temporary discharge from military
duty until class one has been eX-
hausted and the various classes are
called in this manner until class
five has been reached. 1t will be
seen that the effect of this class,
containing persons already in the
military or naval service, alien enc
mics, persons physically, mentally
or morally unfit to be soldiers, and
high government and state officials,
is to exempt them from service in
either the army or navy.
Among the common questions
asked in the QUESTIONABLE are the
employer of the registrant, his oc-
cupation, his occupations for the
10 years, how many hours per
week he has worked since May Is.
1917, in what occupation he con-
siders himself most proficient, If
he is willing to attend free even
ing school instruction to fit himself
for some army occupation before he
is called to camp, how many years
he spent in school, the course pur-
sued, the languages he speaks n
particularly if he speaks well Eng
lish, French or German.
There are numerous questions re-
garding physical fitness, including
height and weight stripped.
While at first sight the question
naire appears complicated, it is not,
as while it is lengthy, most of the
questions do not apply to all or
binary registrants who will use 1t.
For instance, many pages are de-
voted to divinity students, ministers
OF religion, citizenship, federal en-
ployes, pilots and mariners. reli-
gious conviction against war and
industrial and agricultural occupa-
tions under which exemption might
be claimed.
In these cases 1t is only neces-
sary for the registrant to answer
the first question. For instance,
if in answer to series nine, regard
ing religious conviction against war
and in which the registrant is asked
ii he has such convictions he ans
wers mo" to the first question,
then it becomes unnecessary to ans
wer any of the following ones.
In connection with the filling out
of the missionaries legal assistance
will be furnished by a board of
three attorneys in each district, who
will volunteer their services, and
every assistance in general will be
offered registrants without cost, &C
cording to present plans of the war
department.

Dooley, it's superintendent, reports
that the raise on the footwall side
Of the vein has been completed, and
everything is in readiness on this
side of the winze to m ac-
tive stopping operations on the vein.
This development work, together
with that on the other side of the
winze, which consists of the extern
sion of the drift on the hanging
wall of the vein, this drift having
been extended the usual distance
during the week, has resulted in the
continuous flow of water from the

Keswick, via the Hazen sampler,
under the new arrangements con-
srmmated by Secretary Mead re-
Gently.
Inasmuch as reports state that
the Cash Boy company is under
contract to ship a definite amount
of ore each week to the copper

regular production work from now
on.
