BRIDEGROOM FOUND
DEAD IN THE WOODS
Mansfield Has It's Eye On
Auto Factory-News Of
The Neighborhood

Lancaster, Jan. 6-Mrs. May White
Steele of this city has received a
cablegram from London, England,
from her son, Clement Beecher
Steele, who is now enjoying a fur
Tough from war service on behalf of
England in the Canadian army. Young
Steele has recently been promoted
from first lieutenant of the 32nd bat
terry, field artillery, to the office of ad-
jutant. He is a graduate Of the Roy
al School of Arms of Kingston, Ont,
and has been engaged in getting out
a book, treating on all ammunitions
and explosives used by the allies and
his furlough at this time was grant
ed him in order to afford opportunity
to complete this work which will be
of great present and historic value to
the world, and especially to the Eng
lish war Office.
When young Steele volunteered for
service in the Canadian army for Eng
land, he was offered a good position
on the staff Of the brigadier general,
but declined, preferring the office of
the first lieutenant so he could go to
the front.
Reports of practice shooting at
3,400 yards show that he made the
splendid record of five hits out of
eight shots.
He is the only son of Thomas
Steele and May White Steele and
made his home with his father in
Ontario and is the only Lancaster
boy now engaged in the greatest war
the world has ever seen or will ever
see again, no doubt, and is regarded
by his relatives and friends as real
hero. He is a brother of Miss Mar
gretta Steele, who is a few years
younger than he.
After leaving Canada, his battery
was stationed for time in the train
ing camp at Branshott. Some months
after, his battery was sent to the war
zone and is now stationed near the
Belgian line. The young man has
seen all kinds of service and his re-
cent promotion as brigade adjutant is
well deserved.

GOLOFIELD WILL
GIVE REGIMENT
TROOPS FOR KAISER,S DOOM
ARE NOW BEING
RAISED

While in Goldfield, Sergeant
Henderson, head of army recruiting
in the district of which Ne
vada is a part, stated that a
short time ago he received a tele-
gram from the postmaster at West
wood, Cal, asking that a recruit
ing officer be sent there. West
wood is a small place. The officer
was sent and returned to Reno
with 16 recruits. A few days later
he received a second call from the
Westwood postmaster, saying that
Westwood again, he could have the
o.her half of the town.
Sergeant Henderson said that, al
though Goldfield is not at the bot
tom of the list of towns furnishing
recruit, he thought it was second
from the bottom.
But Goldfield is to be heard
from, for Milton Detch is raising
a regiment.
He proceeds in this way: What
is YOUR name?" "Where do you
live?" What is your age?" Ans
wers to the questions he writes on
a paper that he carries with him
and then explains to the person,
who frequently until then thinks he
is being pinched for jury duty,
why he asked the questions. In this
way he is doing we'll and it can
be seen readily that he will raise
a full regiment.

OIL EXCITEMENT IN
SECTION NEAR MOAPA

The announcement of the dis
covery of oil heal Moapa the latter
part of last week created consider
able excitement. The find was made
in the we'll being drilled by a num-
Der of the citizens of the county
who have believed for some time
that there was oil in that vicinity,
and occurs al a depth of two thou
sand feet. The Grill has been pass
ing throug oi'-strata for some time
and recently gas explosions have
been frequent, indicating the pre-
sence of oil, but the real article
was not discovered until Saturday,
when about a barrelful of the
precious liquid was secured.
While the showing is not large
the mere presence of oil indicates
that the drillers are on the right
track and should encourage more
drilling in that neighborhood. Clark
county may yet be noted as a pro-
Queer of oil as we'll as mining and
agricultural area. - Goodsprings

Mines MAINTAINING
GOOD RESULTS IN Deep WORK

The mining situation at the North
end Of the Comstock remains I'M
changed this week, but with condi-
tions maintaining the same favor
able outlook that has prevailed for
the past several weeks. In the Con-
s%olidated Virginia mine, the south
west drift has been advanced along
the hanging wall of the vein, and
the face is being broken to about
the same width of ore as last week
and the values are maintaining the
same good average milling grade.
The width of quartz still contin-
ues On the west side to an undeter-
mined distance, and the vein is ap-
parently as strong as ever There
have been many visitors to the
mine during the week and all have
been impressed by the splendid ore
showing as exposed on all sides.
The company has started work on
the $500 level, putting the east
winze in shape, which is to be ulti-
liZed in working on the 270O level
farther to the south from the pre-
sen exploration drift, and a cross
cut will be run to the vein from
this winze.
Elsewhere at the northend opera
lions are being carried forward at
practically the same points as last
week. The Union Con. at the 200
station of the shaft is cleaning out
and repairing preparatory to install
ling pumps at this point. With the

is following the vein, continues to

KANROHAT CLAIMS

gum for a consideration of over

The group consists of 16 claims
embracing $50 acres with the water
rights and mill sites and is better
known as the Kanrohat property.
The group was optioned to the
Sprague company last year but the
option was not exercised and ex-
pired by limitation on the first of
April. The deal was effected with
Charles J. K%anrohat, locator of the

will begin extending the No. 4 tun-
mel on the Sierra Nevada claim from
it's present terminus of $50 feet to
a point 100 feet farther where it
is supposed the famous Sierra Ne
vada vein will be cut at a depth
of 1000 feet. The old Jefferson
mine, which was operated in 1874
adjoins the Kanrohat on the west.
That company is credited with an
extraction of ove $5,0OO,0O0 and
ceased work when the ore shoot
was lost. Subsequently it was dis
covered that the shoot raked off
easterly into the Sierra Nevada
claim of the Kanrohat group.

ment and repair work continues at
various points. The Sierra Nevada
is advancing the work on the same
levels as last week, and continues to
secure about the same grade of
ore from the 2450-foot level.
On the $500 level work is being
carried on in the northwest drift
from the stope. The Ophir contin-
ues to reopen the main lateral drift
on the 1900 level, and on the 270O
level, there is no change in the
formation in the east cross-cut from
the main north drift.
The Andes company is extracting
about the same tonnage of ore from
the 350-foot level, and carrying on
development work.
At the Combination shaft, the ar
rival of electric cable is awaited
before starting the pumps in opera
ton, but preliminary work contin-
ues, and repairs made where neces-
sary.
The Comstock Leasing company
was fortunate in the fire at it's cya-
hide plant last Saturday, and no
interruption has been caused in the
operation of the plant. The chief
loss was in the supplies in the store
room, but these are readily obtain
able. The company continues its
successful operations, shipping over
seventy tons per day from the Chol-
