GOOD SHALE SHOWING

Harry J. McSherry, who has been
in Elko for number of days looking
over the shale proposition, departed
for his home in Reno on No. 10 today.
He is very enthusiastic over what he
saw and believes that Elko has a
very brilliant future.
While here Mr.. McSherry secured a
section OF ground with very promising
prospects adjoining the section owned
by Middleton. Bruce Brothers, ct al.
He has large groupings of shale in a
number of places varying from ten to
thirty feet thick. and tests show a
high oil content. lie is also reported
TO have secured several claims near
Palisadc.
Mr.. McShcrry is a well known min.
ing man and was here in the interest
OF Reno capital. lie says that the
shalc proposition here is far beyond

isfcd with the results of his visit. II,

KILL { D IN
TRAIN WRECK
Passenger Crashes Into Ac-
commodation Train in Ken
lucky Causing Many Deaths
and Injuries

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky, Dec. 2l.-
The death toll taken last night when
the Louisville & Nashville Passenger
train No. I from Cincinnati TO New
Orleans crashed into the rear of the
Louisville Beardstown accommodation
train, reached &c this morning. The
blame for the wreck seems to hinge
on whether or not the fast train was
given clear block.
From other sources it was learned
that the accommodation had left the
station after making a stop, when the
fast train came in sight running at n
high rate of speed, and plunged into
the rear end OF the train ahead. The
TWO wooden coaches and the baggage
car making up the lighter train were
splintered.
About twenty passengers who had
been discharged by the accommoda.
ton were still on the station platform
and were eye witnesses to the tragedy
they had so narrowly escaped. Several
women among them tainted and had
to be cared for.

NO NEED FOR
LOCAL CONSCRIPTE0M

Concluding his report Secretary
Wilson, speaking generally Of the
labor situation. says in part:
The department is. of course, aware
OF proposals, more popular earlier in
the war, than now, to settle labor dis
putcs by cocrCing the wage carncrs.
But these proposals are both unfair
and impractical.
There Is no reason for apprchcnd-
ing q necessity for any kind OF labor
Conscription in order to settle or pre-.
vent disputes between employer and
employees which may interfere with a
vigorous prosecution of the war.
"Our greatest need is the spirit of
self.sacrifice for the common good
sacrifice OF our pride, sacrifice OF oul
prcjudiCes. sacrifice Of our suspicious
against each other. sacrifice of ou
| lives. if need bc-to carry on un

holes, formerly regarded as of little
