BATTLE MOUNTAIN

One year ago in the month of April,
eight carloads of ore was shipped
from Battle Mountain, says the Battle
Mountain Scout
Nobody thought much about II.
That was n beginning.
This 1917 April there were forty.
seven carloads OF ore consigned from
Battle Mountain mines to the smelt-
ers. Nobody seems to care about II.
This Is only a normal growth Each
succeeding month will note an in.
crease I'm the tonnage production OF
the district. The development Of Bat
tie Mountain mine is ut n stage where
the great big mine will soon assert IL.
self and be horalded abroad.
In the absence of actual values, II
is safe to estimate this tonnage as
worth 100000. That is nice little
stipend for a cold spring OF dewdrops.
Thirty days OF work. That's all.

Mrs. E. E. Moberley, Jr., Presi.
dent of the St. Mary Red Cross, re-
ports that the Ladies are collecting
all scrap material and making gun
wipers, of a yard in length, for the
Louisiana Soldiers. The men are
required to keep their equipment in
perfect condition at all times-a
difficult tast, when on a campaign,
because of lack of rags. The men
are sometimes forced to use their
clothing for this purpose; and the
thoughtfulness of the Red Cross
Ladies will be deeply appreciated by
the troopers.
Mrs Moberley has just returned
from the East, where she took a
special Red Cross course; and is now
graduate instructor of one of the
largest Base Hospitals in the United
States.
She will instruct the ladies Of st.
Mary in the intricacies Of the Red
Cross work and will hold an exami-
nation in few weeks to determine
the fitness Of her class to hold Red
Cross Certificates and wear the Red
Cross of the organization upon their
sleeves.

Fall Prices Rule HIGH

The arrival of Fall goods in the
business district the past ten days
has been quite noticeable and indi.
cations point to prosperous season
in this section this year. Notwith-
standing the H. C. of L., merchants
know that goods must be had, and
that people must eat and wear clothes
and while the quantities of goods
purchased from time to time may
not be as large as in normal times,
yet there must be quality, regardless
Of the prevailing high prices of
goods. There does not seem to be
any relief from the prospective high
prices that will prevail this season.
Merchants report, as a general thing,
that the situation remains about the
same, inasmuch as it is not a ques-
ton Of what are the prices of goods,
it is "Can we get the goods" A
National Brand of hats were again
advanced to the trade this week,
which makes about the second or
third advance the past season. This
hat formerly retailed at $3.50, but
the price now ranges from 81 to
$500. Shoes that formerly retail
ed at four dollars are now marked
from $3.50 to $3.50, an! other ar
ticles of wear marked in proportion.
Underwear is reported to have ad-
vanced from 50 to SO so per dozen
garments, due to the price of cotton
being above the 20 cents mark
These advances stand to reason when
it is figured that in 1914 cotton was
selling around ten cents per pound.
Foodstuffs, while having made no
marked advance since the food ad-
bill has passed and is
about to become effective, are new
ertheless practically at the top rung
of the ladder. Flour is said to be
around $3.50 to $3.50 per bar
rel. Potatoes about $1.75 per bu-
shell. With the new crops of rice
and sugar about to appear upon the
markets, an easier feeling in these
lines is anticipated.

He spoke the truth. The figure was

them grinring human face, made of

It was the first sign Of conscious

some devil craftsman had contrived

The mound beneath the figure con-
sisted Of innumerable bones. a sort Of

Davies picked up one Of the bones
and looked at it intently.

on the floor against the mound. seemed
on the point Of falling asleep from
