Gee. Reading has Narrow Escape

While returning home from a visit
to Nina last Monday night Geo.
Reading received an injury which
was very nearly fatal.
While crossing the Garfield fiat, or
dry lake he asked Slim Roberts, who
was driving the ear, to stop, as he
wanted to get out. Slim shut off the
engine and applied the brakes. The
dry lake is as smooth and level as q
floor, and the absence of vibration
caused Mr.. Reading to think that the
car had stopped, when it was still
running 20 miles an hour. He got
off and was thrown on his head, re.
ceiving serious scalp injuries and
losing consciousness, which he did
not regain for several hours. He
has now completely recovered from
his injuries.

From the Bridgeport Chroniclel
We learn that George B. Burris,
the all round p"ospector and min NJ
expert, accompanied by other min
ing men, has lately visited Masonic
mining district and each and all
speak very highly of the values in
several claims examined, their con-
sensus of opinion being that during
the coming Summer several mines
will be further developed and much
rich ore extracted.
The Stall Bros have lately opened
up some rich ledges on the Serita
and other properties which are to be
worked in the near future.
C. C. and j. H. Hayes have bond
ed the Success No. | aud 2 and the
Bell mine to Burris and other parties
for 800 each, they taking the
bonds after exploiting the property
and obtaining ore going over Sl2 per
ton.
1t is well known fact that Ma

cerning the values of ores in the Ma

good values are being developed.

RUSH TO NEW GOLD
STRIKE NEAR LUNING

The Fairplay Distsiet, Nye County,
"a miles east of Luning, which is
the nearest railway point, is the
scene of one of the richest discoveries
of gold ore ever made in the state,
according to Mr.. C. e. Watson of

elements. The vicinity is pretty
well covered by old locations and
probably no ground is to be had ex-
cept by purchase.
Mr. Sullivan gave all visitors a
piece of the rich ore and without any
eXaggeratiop parted with oyer $3.50
worth Of jewelry rock in this way.
The showing is between porphyry
and limestone and superficial ex-
animation seemed to indicate that a
number OF these rich stringers could
be opened up, all approximately par
allel to each other. The mineralized
area probably exceeds twenty five
feet in width.
1t is not a true ledge or vein, at
least as far as development shows
up to this time. However, the ore is
probably half gold.

SAM HAS WORLDS
GREATEST SECRET SERVICE
(By United Press)


WASHINGTON, July 20. = Uncle
sam doesn't make as much noise
about his secret police agents as kMs-
er Bill does about his Wilhelmstrasse
out the Star Spangled Banner sleuth
gets there just the same.
The United States has one of the
biggest secret police systems in the
world.
1t centers in Washington. 1t is COM
posed of:
THE Bureau Of Investigation,
department of Justice, headed by
6ruce Lielaski. In peace times this
organization hunted white slavers, an
eI-drug law violaters, and other Of
lenders, Now it hunts German spies
md pro-kaiserites.
The Secret Service, headed by
s''iNf Flynn. Its main duties are to
4 counterfeiters for the Treasury
department. and furnish the Presi-
ient a secret service squad.
3.-Secret police systems of other
government departments such as
postoiiice inspectors to nab mail law
breakers.
The army and navy have their own
means of getting information Of mill
.ary value.
The biggest job right now is war
york. The Secret Service throws its
in every direction feeling
ior plotters against the President. Tho
bureau of Investigation muses. dis
.oyalist schemes. The army and navy
sleuths dig into enemy war plans.
In their hunt for anti-Americm agi-
tators, Uncle Sans secret police min
gle with crowds, participate in mass
meetings, use the telephone. If mob
the chances are quiet gem
tleman with a little badge in his poe
&et is among those present. They in
cline an ear to the rawlings Of pro-
Germans and by mysterious methods
oecome aware Of what Americas
.oes are doing in Berlin as well as in
New York.
Thru channels Sherlock Holmes
could never discover reports come reg
dlarly into Washington, and orders
go out. Many Kaiser boosters, al
though they remain blissfully igno-
rant of it, are watched by the gov
ernment as a cat watches a mouse.
Their doings are systematically chron-
icled and filed away for reference in
Washington.
Detailed reports come in, dealing
with actions Of persons thousands OF
miles away in alien lands, and right
mere at home in Chicago, New Orleans
or Los Angeles. If the kaiser says
anything worth while ia his sleep,
Washington has a good chance of
hearing It.

WITH THE AMERICAN DE-
STROYER FLOTILLA IN BRITISH
WATERS, July 10. = (By Mail)-
Fake off the lid and show the peo-
pie back home what fierce fight
we're up against"
Thus highly-placed American ma
val officer attached to the command
of this destroyer squadron, endeavor-
ed to say something about a grave
situation. without being able to say
anything definite. The officers tell
plenty-in confidence. The CORE
5pondents attached to the American
destroyers know that ships have been
destroyed by the U-boats in far great
er tonnage than at present they can
re produced. They know also, some
ching of the methods by which our
destroyers are fighting the unseen
menace and of the handicaps which
are hampering the fight-handicap
which give the Germans the advant-
age and which the Americans back
nome could remove in a few months.
But the naval officer couldn't tell

should tell our people all they ought
% know" the naval expert continued.
a frank statement of the whole
submarine situation, with its bearing
on the land campaigns, might be of
considerable practical value to him.
Perhaps it would also stimulate his
sinking morale for time-that de
pends on whether he is expecting u
great deal or little from his su5na-
rine fight.
But l seriously question whether
it would not eventually help us to
win this fight. If the people could
only know, they wouldn't for min
ute hold back the support we need"
Though the censorship, with its
evil tendency to shut the peoples
eyes to the peril, be maintained, the
officer said ours need not become a
losing fight. Under present condi-
tions, he advised, the people back
home can give best aid by backing
the war program of the army and
navy departments without question,
however grotesque they may seem.
Gust now there are a hundred i'm
portant facts which would illuminate
the public mind" he concluded. "As
long as civilians can't know these
things the best they can do is to trust
the departments that really do know
to make the right decisions"
