RIFLE SHORTAGE ADMITTED.
General Crozier Thinks U. S. May
Adopt British Model,

Washington, May General Croz-
Ter, chief of ordnance of the army, said
today that revelations made in the
house by Representatives Tilson of
Connecticut relating to shortage of
Springfield rifles and the probability
that the government would have to
equip the new army with Enfield rifles
Of British type accurately described
the situation confronting the country.
1T will be impossible to supply the
new army with our standard Spring
field rifles" said General CroZier. be
cause we could not have them manu-
featured in time. The Springfield Arms
Company and the government arsenal
at Rock Island are the only concerns
equipped for making these rifles.
Other con erns. lack the gauges and
| jigs for these guns. Members Of con-
gress ask what has been done with
the 100000 appropriated last August
! to provide these gauges and jigs. The
department has not provided them for
the reason that 100000 would not pur-
chase enough .sspf. them to equip even
one manufacturer to- turn out any ap-
preciahle number OF rifles. We haven't
had money enough from congress to
get ready to manufacture these rifles.
Two hundred thousand dollars is less
than one-ffth Of the amount necessary
to get the gauges to begin on.
1.-THE statement that the government
has manufactured only $4,000 Spring
field rifles SINCE the European war be-
gan is correct The, reason for that is
that congress did not, wake up In time
to the need OF the army for these rifles
There have been only two appropria-
| ions by congress for this purpose since
the war began. One, in March, 1915,
August, 1916, congress appropriated S5,-
100000. @ 4-%
Much Of this has been spent in re-
equipping the arsenals and in manu-
featuring spare parts for Springfield
rifles to conserve the rifles the army has
on hand. These parts, which have not
been assembled. would aggregate. if put
together, a large number Of rifles.
but the war situation, coming on so
quickly, has brought us to the point
where we probably will have to adopt
the British Enfield rifle, which manu-
facturers in this country have been
making and are equipped to turn out in
large quantities. If we are to fight in
France with British rifles along with
the British troops, there are many rea-
sons why it might be wise not to use
ammunition differing from the British
ammunition. If this is determined, the
Springfield rifles would have to be- dis
carded for the European expeditionary
force.
II don't know what will be done;
but, whatever is decided, we will have
plenty of good rifles for whatever force
is sent to Europe" -1

GEM NINE OUTRIVALS IT'S
FORMER RICH RECORD

The New Gem mine, controlled by
II. n. Sheldon, C. T. Smith and
Attorney Hawkins, is producing
some exceedingly rich silver ore.
James Gormly, a veteran of the
mountains, has a lease on the pro-
perty. Recently our mountaineer
friend shipped a car with ore from
the property which netted the leaser
more than $55 a ton. The principal
values are silver. This ore was
extracted from the west vein. Late
ly. while digging out for a base
rent for a Gormly residence close
to the mine, a new rich silver-bear-
ing vein was opened. The new vein
81. exceedingly rich silver ore,
some of it going as high as q
ounces of silver to the ton. The
vein is stronger than the one here
tofore worked. It's strength and
richness increases the value of the
Sheldon Smith Hawkins property
many times over. Engineer Sheldon
Is confident that the new vein, the
richest and strongest discovery on
the property, will increase in size
and richness with depth.-Winne-
niucca Silver State.

7. & G.. RAILROAD
MAKES CHANGE
TRAINS WILL LEAVE EARLIER
AND ARRIVE LATER THAN
AT PRESENT

Commencing on next Sunday, To-
nopah & Goldfield trains will leave
Goldfield at Z a. m. and arrive at
II a. m, trains to arrive at and
leave Reno and San Francisco on
the present schedule, the hour and
a half difference in the running
time being allowed on account of
additional tonnage to be hauled in
will be pulled in and out on the reg
ular passenger train.
This change in the schedule in
wolves no disadvantages to the trav-
cling public or other patrons of the
road, except that outgoing opassen-
gers will have to rise earlier. 1t is
in keeping with a general retrench-
ment policy, and, while it will elimi-
nate the present t~ri-weekly freight
train into Goldfield, it will mean
that freight will enter the town
every day and that perishable ship
ments, instead of being held at
points north waiting to be hauled as
part of the freight train, will nov
enter Goldfield daily on the passen-
ger train.
In pursuance of the policy of the
company in rendering the best pos
sible service to the travelling public,
the Pullman, operated by the road
for some years past at a total loss,
amounting last year to $1,000, will
be retained on the trains.
Incoming trains will be met by an
engine at the main line junction be-
tween Millers and Tonopah, which
will remove the freight cars from
the train and haul them over the
seven-mile cutoff to insolvency
junction, where they will be again
picked up by the passenger after it
leaves TOnopah. At McSweeney the
engine will take the freight cars from
the outgoing train and, on it's re-
turn trip, haul them back to the
main line junction, where they will
be picked upon their way north. In
this way the south-bound passenger
will be relieved of the freight load
ove the 13-mile five per zen grade
into Tonopah, one of the worst be-
tween Reno and Goldfeld.

after one of the nurses had follow

the institution, pleading with him
to reconsider his determination to
