FRANCE PAYING
FOR WAR WASTE
GOVERNMENT Is HELD UP IN
SECURING MANY
ARTICLES

PARIS, Nov. discussion of
extravaganza and wastage in war
expenditures, during the recent de-
bate on the appropriations for the
fourth quarter of this year in the
chamber of deputies developed the
fact that France is paying the equi-
valent of s10O, 10000 a year for
gasoline. The up-keep of cars plac-
ed at the disposition of the military
authorities outside the war zone
amounted to about 100000 a
month during the year 1916.
Emmanuel Brousse, who is some
times called the watchdog of the
treasury remarked that part of this
waste was due to the fact that motor
lorries intended to carry loads of
from three to five tons were used
to transport single cases weighing
no more than 100 pounds.
Another speaker declared that
discarded stations belonging to the
state we're sold by the Agricultural
department at the equivalent of $40
to private individuals who subse-
quently sold them to the war de-
partment for the equivalent of $500.
1t also was asserted that in pur-
chasing 10000 horses in America
the government lost about $5,500,-
900. 1t was claimed that these
horses were bought in the United
States at $50 to SIS a head and
cost $40 to $3.50 when the freight
and feeding were paid, but that the
French government paid $500 each
for them.
Another deputy pointed out how
some of the measures adopted with
a view to economizing food products
had involved extravaganza. The APP
pointment of millers in each de-
partment to supervise the distribu-
ton of the cereals allotted by the
government, with a compensation OF
four cents a hundred-weight for
their services, it was calculated,
would cost from $4,000 to nearly
100000 in each department, and
there are 81 department in France.
Thus a simple service of supervision
had the plan been carried out,
would have made ei~ghty-odd for
tunes for as many millers.
In spite of these isolated cases OF
persistent waste, it was declared on
the other hand that the government
has in most departments connected
with the war efforts realized econo-
mics running into hundreds of mil
lions of francs a year.

Rates Reduced

The Nevada industrial commission
has announced changes of premium
rates for industrial insurance to be-
come effective Jan. /. By these
changes it is believed the burden
OF compensation cost will be more
evenly divided among the indus
tries. The most important changes
follow, per 500 of the old payroll,
the old rate being first, followed
by the new one: Mining, $3.50,
1925; smelling, $50, 50; water
works. So, 81; gas works. SO, 81;
railroad shops, 50, 81; numbering

SLAYER
STILL At LARGE
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN SEEN
NEAR BONNIE
CLARE

1t is now believed that the Mexi-
can who is supposed to have shot
and killed Bodie George, a local In
dian, is on his way south, follow
ing the l.. V. & T. road, as 1t is re-
ported that a fireman on the train
that arrived here last night saw a
Mexican hurrying south on h
tracks and this is believed to have
been the man the authorities are
hunting.
The man was seen in the vicinity
of Bonnie Glare and points south OF
there have been notified to watch
for him. Two Mexicans who are be-
lieved to know something about the
shooting are being held in jail, but
no important information has been
obtained from either.
An inquest is being held this
afternoon before Justice OF the
Peace French at Columbia.
The victim of the shooting Will
be buried tomorrow, the funeral
expenses being borne by the n
pah and Goldfield Meat company,
for which he worked at the local
slaughter house.

CAPS IN
GREAT OREB0Oy
NEW WORKINGS AT DEPTH
HAVE MADE EXCELLENT
SHOWING

John G.. Kirchen, accompanied by
E. H. McMurray, who returned
from New York during the week;
Joseph Murphy, a prominent eastern
financier, and Walter c. Lamb,
president of the Tonopah Miner
Publishing company, visited the
White Caps mine on Wednesday,,
and all members of the party, in
Guiding Mr.. Kirchen himself, we're
agreeably surprised at the wonder
full new development that has been
made in the east orebody on the
435-foot level.
This orebody has been explored
for a distance of 1875 feet OIL the
strike of the ore, and it had been
supposed that the eastern limit of
the ore zone had narrowed down to
a width of only a few feet. Recent
mining operations at this point, how
ever, have resulted in a great sur-
prise to the management of the COM
pany, when cross-cuts, which were
run both ways from the drift at
the extreme eastern limit of the ore
body, have now opened it for a dis
lance of over 80 feet, with about 10
feet Of ore on both the foot and
h~anging-wall sides of the orebody.
The average grade of this ore, as
proven by samples taken from cars
of ore extracted from the cross-cut,
and by muck pile samples, ran
$2S.2O across the whole mass. Very
little sorting is required, and it is
necessary, in order to keep the mill
grade down to $40, to mix lower
grade ore from the upper levels
with the material yielded by the
development operations. - Tonopah

WASH|NGTON-NEv.
GETS EQUIPMENT
LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK Is
PLANNED BY COM
PANY

o. H. Dubois, manager of the
Washington and Nevada Develop
ment company's property, stated
yesterday that all preliminary ar
rangements had been completed to
active development at the
mine, which is located about 10
miles to the north of Carson City.
The new hoist is installed and the
boarding house will amply accom-
modate the men who will be put to
work there within the next week or
10 days.
1t is the intention of the directors
of the to continue the new
vertical accompaniment shaft for
another 100 feet and then drift to-
ward the ledge. The shaft is now
down 100 feet. The vein they in
tend cutting is the same one that was
followed for $50 feet in the old in
cline, where the values across four
feet are better than $50.
All efforts of the company for the
next several months will be directed
toward development of the mine and
opening up the big orebody, and in
the spring the work of putting in
shape the mill that is on the proper
ty will be taken up.-Carson News.

ALASKANS PREPARE
FOR LONG WINTER
YUKON RIVER NOW FROZEN
OVER AND TRAVELLING
DIFFICULT

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. =. -
Alaska's great waterway. the Yu-
kon River, is being sealed up for
the long northern winter, accord
ing to reports reaching here from
Dawson, Ruby, Tanana and other
points along the stream.
Ice began appearing on the Yu-
kon's tributaries some time & and
in a short time the surface of the
big river itself will be converted in
to a jagged, uneven ribbon of ice
stretched 81 hundred miles acros
the heart of the northern territory
ard it's neighbor state, the Yukon
Territory.
This year the river is closing later
than usual. 1t will be sealed until
late in the spring when the sun re-
turns to the north and the big ice
pack loosens and jams its way sea
ward.
The little flat bottomed steam
boats of the summer river fleets
have been pulled up on the ban
for the winter and the residents Of
Dawson, Fairbanks, Circle City,
Ruby, Fort Yukon and other points
along the Yukon and it's tributaries
are ready for the long twilie
During the winter, trails afford the
only passage in and out of the in
terror of Alaska.

BANKER TALKS
ON SILVER USE
CIRCULATION OF WHITE
METAL

Interpreting the significance of a
dispatch from New York today which
says that silver has become a current
unit of exchange in London, Frank
NJ. Lee. vice president of the Reno
National bank and an authority on
banking and financial matters, said
that such acceptance would very
greatly enlarge silver as a medium
of exchange in the worlds commerce.
Nevada, as the great producer of
silver. he said. would undoubtedly
benefit very materially.
Already what is regarded in the
east as the first effect of the chang
ed attitude of London. the worlds
great silver market. has TRANSFERRED.
and silver has jumped nearly six
cents.
England and this country, both
important factors In the worlds reg
u%lation of commerce. have steadily
refused to accept silver as the me-
dunn of exchange, and have made
gold the standard by which all com-
mercial values are measured. OF
course it is too early to take ali
accurate measure of just what i'm
portance attaches to London's new
attitude. I think 1t would be per-
fectly safe to say that 1t will be a
great factor in enlarging the use of
silver as a money metal" said Mr..
Lee.
London is a very important fl
nancial center. 1t is quite probable
that her acceptance of silver as a
unit of putting silver on a basis of
recognized exchange will do a great
the worlds commerce. Just how i'm
portant this news is cannot be cor
rectly estimated until more is heard
from London.
1T is not improbable that further
steps in London will follow which
will tend to definitely establish sill
yer with a place as a money metal,
in which case Nevada and the sill
yer producing districts will have
great cause for rejoicing"
Silver has been subject to fevcrish
fluctuations in recent months, rising
from IS cents to $1.0Sk. From
that level it broke steadily in the
last few weeks to around SO cents.
The phenomenal rise of August and
September was attributed to heavy
demands from foreign interests, in
the relatively small supply available.

COPPER SHOWN
IN M0NzON|TE
PROPERTY IN LUNING DISTRICT
CONTRACTS FOR BIG
OUTPUT

LUNING, New, Nov. 3. - A most
interesting development has taken
place during the week at the st.
Patrick mine of the Kirchen Mines
corporation in the Luning district,
which shows the intense action of
the copper-bearing solutions which
formed the orebodies in that mineral
belt. About Is feet back of the
face in the main working tunnel a
stope was started on the hanging
wall of the vein.
Before starting the stope a short
cross-cut was run into the foot-wall
and this shows the monZonite wall
rock to be heavily i~mpregnated with
copper, assaying from two to foul
per cent in the red metal. This
alone would pay well if treated in a
reduction plant at the mine, blu
when mixed with the higher grade
ore of the vein proper, it makes an
excellent product.
The face of this working tunnel is
being steadily advanced in shipping
ore and, according to surveys re-
Gently made, an advance of another
ten feet will intersect the main ore
shoot that has been such a prolific
producer of high-grade ore on the
levels above. Regular shipments
continue from this development, as
well as from the Slopes on the upper
levels.
Good progress is being made at
the Wedge Copper company, both in
the work being prosecuted by the
and in the lease in No. l
tunnel. where excellent ore was re-
Gently encountered. 1t is rumored
that a big acreage adjoining the
Wedge Copper, on which there are
splendid ore showings, will be TAX
en- into a consolidation in the near
future. In connection with this deal
it is also planned to erect a large
ore reduction plant which will treat
the ores at low cost.
The first carload of shipping ore
on the new contact which the Pilot
company has made with the Western
Ore Purchasing company left Lun-
ing last Monday. This is a special
contract made with Manager Man
son and gives the mine an oppor-
.tunity of shipping a lower grade of
Ore than ever before.
The privilege is given to ship up
to 100 tons a day. 1t is one OF the
most liberal contracts granted by
the s~felters in recent years and is
the shelters in recent years and is
ment of the Pilot company. Special
effort is being made to get suffl-
cient men and teams to take full
advantage of the bigger tonnage
which it is now possible to handle at
a profit, even before the company
builds it's own mill.
Information from the su%perintend-
ent of the Congress Copper COM
pany, which is under the same gen.
eral management as the Pilot Cop
per. shows no special change in work
ing conditions, but development work
is proceeding with the same good
results.
