RENO TO HAVE
IRON SMELTER
COLORADO PROMOTER SAYS HE
WILL BUILD A BIG
PLANT

Assured of 100, 900. 900 tons of
h~igh-grade iron ore in Churchill
canyon, near Wabuska, President
Otto Taubert of the Minnesota-Ne-
vada Mines company, announced
yesterday hat within a week the
company will begin construction of
a 1000. 900 electric plant for the
manufacture of pig iron in guam
titles of 1000 IONS a day. He has
an option on 10 acres of land along
the banks of the Truckee river, he
said yesterday, one mile west of
Reno on the site of the gypsum
mill as a location for his furnaces.
Taubert said he has a 600-acre
mining claim IL miles from Wa
buska. 16 miles from Yerington
and seven miles from the main line
of the Southern Pacific in the
northeastern point of Douglas coun-
ty. He has given accounts of one
hill in which a vein is exposed mea-
surfing 1900 feet wide and 1000
feet high, and all of solid iron.
Four tunnels have been driven into
this hill. 800 feet from the summit.
a distance of from 800 to 500 feet;
at all times revealing nothing but
iron. he said.
For the development of this mine
Taubert that he is pre-
pared to spend an additional So
100000.
Other metals in large quaint
ties are said to be in one the claim.
These metals include gold, silver.
copper, lime and semi-precious
stones.
With iron ore averaging So a
OF the valuation of the ore in sight
would, according to Taubert's fig
ures, reach the sum of $500, OOO,-
600.
Within the next few days Iaubart
will leave for San Francisco to OBJ
tain a water turbine to be used in
the generation of electricity for the
reducing plant. 1t is his intention
to begin work on the blast furnaces
very soon and to begin manufactur-
ing pig iron or the outskirts of
Reno within 80 days. This supply,
he asserts, can be disposed of easily
in San Francisco, where foundries
are greatly handicapped by lack of
workable metal. The grade of iron,
he said, is especially suitable for
the manufacture of tool and gun
steel, a high grade of steel.
Taubert expressed the opinion
that if the expectations materialize
in a fractional degree. the results
will prove of vast value to the west.

Bible of the SUP ne Court.

In the United State supreme court
instead of many Bibles we find but one
small volume. now celebrated as the
Justices Bible, used continuously dur
ing all the years since 1900 for the in

and the pledGing of allegiance of all
the attorneys who have practiced be-
fore that court. No wonder that on an
average for about every de d of this
period IA new or extra outside cover OF
black leather has been required to keep
the red morocco binding of the little
book in such freshness as it still pos
sesses. This Bible is five and ii ball
inches long and three and Il half inches
wide, and tradition says that it formed
one of 10000 which congress imported
in the early days of the republic to re-
lieve the S%criptural dearth of the coun-

TUNGSTEN EXPOSED
IN GEM FIVE MINE
HIGH GRADE MATERIAL IL
FOUND IN HUMBOLDT
COUNTY

From present indications. an i'm
portant tungsten strike has been
made on the property of the Gem
Five Mines company. 20 miles south
of here, in the Sunshine district. II.
H. Sheldon. manager of the proper
ty, was in town Saturday and exhi-
bited a number of samples of ore
which, he stated. carried over Go
per ZEN tungstic acid.
The Gem Five has been under
development for some time and a
number of shipments have been
made. both by the company and
leasers, the returns giving high
values in gold and silver. Lately
it was noticed that the rock was
extremely heavy and Mr.. Sheldon
had tests made proving the pre-
sence of tungsten with the gold and
silver values.
Mr.. Sheldon states that he be-
lieves the deposit to be quite ex-
tensive and that there is consider
able ore mixed in the different
dumps.
At the present time a gasoline
hosting plant is being erected on
the property and it is the intention
of the management to send the
working shaft down to considerable
depth and prove the value of their

MOLYBOENUM FOUND
IN HUMBOLDT MINE
RARE METAL SAID TO BE PIKE
SENT IN GOOD
VOLUME

Samples of ore containing a high
percentage OF molybdenum, a rare
and valuaDIe metal, were brought
to Winnemucca yesterday by w. S.
O'Brien and j. w. Planck, mining
men from Stone House.
The ore Is from a discovery made
by O'Brien in the southeastern part
of this county about a month ago.
He is not yet ready to give out the
exact location of his strike.
O'Brien says the ledge from
which the molybdenum specimens
come is four feet wide and has
been traced on the surface for near
ly 5000 feet. The ledge is a con-
tact, he says. between granite and
lime. Specimens of the ore shown
here were nearly pure molybdenum
and he says that in sinking ten
feet on the ledge, he took out about
$3.50 worth of the ore. He sys
that about 20 inches of the ledge
matter can be sorted to a 40 per
cent molybdenum product. He be-
lieves he has the biggest and rich
est deposit of this ore ever found
in the state.
Molybdenum is used in steel
manufacture for hardening pur-
poses and commands a high market
price. The metal, 80 per cent pure,
is worth about 81 per pound. -

ALLIES AHEAD
At END Of
: 3 YEARS
Position of Entente Powers In War
Regarded As Greatly
Improved
TERRITORY In FRANCE Is
EVACUATED BY TEUTONS
Political Situation In Europe Has
Been Altered During the
Past Year

PARIS, July 2S.-The military
situation of the entente armies on
the western front at the end of the
third veal of the war is regarded
by competent authorities as actually
better than q year ago and possess
ed of enormously better prospects,
by reason of Americas Intervention.
A big change in the relative posi-
ton of the allies has been brought
about by the evacuation of a part
of France by the Germans.
On the western front the TeutOns
find themselves on the defensive at
the advent of the fourth year. They
fight on lines newly-established
after forced retirement from ter
rain which they had won in earlier
days at a tremendous sacrifice.
Meanwhile new enemy powers,
notably the United States, have
been drawn in by the central en-
pires and progress toward h
achievement of the ultimate aim
of the entente and it's allies has
been furthered by political distur-
bsnce which will remain memorable
in the history of all times.
Chief among these are the fall
of two crowned heads-Nicholas of
Russia and Contantine of Greece
In Russia autocracy has given way
to a republic. In Greece a kingdom
remains, but not a p~rO-Teutonic one.
entente pressure having won supre-
macy in this part of the Balkans.
Portugal and Rumania threw in
their fortunes with the entente
shortly after the third year began.
The United States entered in April,
followed by Cuba and Liberia. Pa
mama pledged the United States her
aid in defending the Panama canal.
Costa RIGA put her naval bases at
our disposal. China, Bolivia, Qua
temala and Brazil severed diploma
tic relations with Germany. Uru-
sSuay expressed her sympathy for the
= united States. Late in July, Siam
Inferred the war against the CEN
xral powers.
Three new nations were born dur
ing the year. Poland was created
a kingdom under German and Aus
trian direction. In Mecca the Ara
bians overthrow Turkish rule and
declared independence. In the Bal
kans, liberty was restored to AL
bania. which was established as a
republic under Italian political pro-
lection and with French military
aid.
sAn estimate made two months be-
fore the end of the third year -
voiced by Arthur Henderson, of the
British War Council - placed the
number of men killed at 1000, 600
since August, 1914. French general
headquarters recently estimated L.
10000 Germans has been killed up
to March l.. Mr.. Henderson esti-
than 5000, 10000.
The first and second American
contingents of troops landed in
France on June 26 and 81, and the
third on July 20.
Except for submarine operations,
naval writer's have found little to
engage their attention during the
past year. Germany continued to
rely on U-boats. This policy led
to unrestricted warfare which drew
the United States into the conflict.
U-boats destroyed an estimated
gross tonnage of more than 4,0O0.-
600 during the year. This included
10000 flying the British flag
sunk from Feb. % to July |.
