flom L.. c.. Willard, a former in
structor in the Goldfield high-schOol
and who is now in training at Camp
LAWS, Wash, expressing his APP
probation and the thanks of the
Esmeralda county contingent for the
send-off given them upon their de-
parture and particularly for the gift
OF a housewife" to each of the

gifts which, the writer says, are
among the most useful things a
SOLDIER can have in his pack.

is not in the same company as the
rest of the Goldfield boys but he
sees them often and all retain a
warm spot in their hearts for their
home town. All the boys are be

S. l.. BRADY WE'D
WHILE IN EAST

S. H. Brady, prominent mine oper-
ator and member of the silver COM
mittee that is comforting with gov
eminent officials relative to fixing
the price of the white metal, had
very important business in the east
in addition to his official duties.
He was married in Greensboro, N.
c.. Thursday, according to advices
received by friends here, and he and
his bride, who was formerly Mrs.
Elizabeth Gold. are now in Washing
ton. Mrs. Gold resided in Reno for
some time and has a large. circle of
friends here.
Mr.. Brady met his wife last sum-
mer and it vas not generally known
among his trends that he was going
to return from the silver conference
with a bride, although several. sus-
pected it.-Reno Gazette.

DRESS At
BIG ELK EVENT
l CBLIC SENTIMENT PUTS LID
ON USUAL FANCY
RAIMENT

1t has been decided by the Elks
that as in recent months the heavy
sword of Mars has struck heavily at
the finances of Goldfield residents
and is bound to strike heavily many
more times in months to come, the
annual charity ball of 1917, in all
past years the occasion for the out
burst of much feminine splendor,
will be Hooverized to the extent
that even a person who has given
his or her coin to the support OF
the war to the extent that only two
dollars, the admission price, remains
III the treasury, may attend with
safety.
In other words, the ball commit
tee has clamped the lid on expense,
it having been found that public
sentiment is against an affair on the
usual elaborate scale, and against
the purchase of expensive finery,
while money, it is the general opin-
ion, as we'll as the opinion of the
LIks, is none too plentiful here
now, owing to the recent Liberty
Loan, Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and
other drives that have left the sides
of many a Goldfield pocketbook
touching in a good cause.
And while the ball itself will be
On a less elaborate scale than in
former years, an extensive entertain
ment has been planned for the pub
lie and as big a time will be fur
nished as on previous occasions
when those who attended had little
interest in many of the features ar
ranged at big expense. 1t is only
these expensive features and side
issues that will be eliminated, with
expensive dress. The cabaret, with
entertainers, a popular part of the
ball in years past, will be retained.
The ball committee went to Tono-
rah a few days ago and secured the
cooperation of the Elks there and
made certain that a big crowd Will
be here from the silver camp. On
this visit four entertainers in a
Toaopah cabaret, guaranteed by the
committee to be high-class, were
secured for the night of the four

SUIT ON OVER
ALUN|TE MINE
PROPERTY IN HUMBOLDT COUN-
TY Is BASIS FOR CON-
TENTION

Legal war is on over the posses
sion of the alunite property at Sui
phur, in the western part of the
county, which has been under de-
velopment for some time by Salt
Lake people.
The buyers on Saturday obtained
a temporary restraining order in the
district court against j. G. Clark, j.
d. Knox and James H. Mays, the
sellers, enjoining them from entering
upon the property. In the COM
plant the plaintiff, Frank B. Stew
ems, alleges that Clark, Knox and
Mays have threatened to Dust him
from possession by force and that
such action would result in riot and
possibly bloodshed. The defendants
are notified in the restraining order
to appear in court on December Z
and show cause why they should not
be permanently enjoined from enter
ing upon the property.
Deputy Sheriff Muller went to
Sulphur yesterday and served the or
der on Knox and Clark. Both sides
had men on the disputed ground,
but no trouble had occurred. Knox
and Clark, it is said, claim that the
Salt Lake people have not fulfilled
their contract for the purchase of
the ground and have forfeited their
right to possession.
The alunite property comprises
% claims, most of which cover the
ground owned by the Nevada Sui
phur company, which has been work
ing it's mines and refinery in that
district for many years. The sui
phur ground is located as placer
and has never been patented, while
the alunite claims are lode locations.
There Is said to be a possibility that
the sulphur company will contest
the validity of the alunite locations,
whatever the outcome of the dis
pute over the ownership of the lat
ter property.
e. B. Critchlow of Salt Lake and
Warren & Hawkins are the attorneys
in the case against Clark, Knox and

ST. II
NINE OPENS

w. H. Shewan, formerly superin-
tendent of operations at Toy and
Tanning, near Lovelock in Church
i'll county, for the Atolia Mining
company, arrived in Lovelock last
week with the announcement that
he would reopen the tungsten prop
erty, operating under a lease from
the owning corporation. A crew of
80 men has been organized and put
to work.
The property, known in Nevada as
the st. Anthony Mines, was closed
down during the early part of the
present year. Reports had it that
the owners had stored up ore from
their California properties to such
an extent that they did not care to
continue operations in Churchill
county, where the ore was of lower
grade.
The St. Anthony mines are re-
ported to have made huge fortunes
for their owners, who had a mill
equipped and concentrating scheelite

Gus prices, many times the present

LITTLE FEAR Of
COAL SHORTAGE
STATE INSPECTOR SAYS CONDI-
TIONS ARE SATISFACTORY
IN CAMP

II. S. Greathouse, district traffic
Inspector for the United States fuel
administration, with headquarters at
Reno, has been in Goldfield in pur-
suance of his official duties, consist
ing chiefly in tracing coal shipments
and securing information on the To-
cation and movement of cars. He
left today for Las Vegas and returns
here next week. His jurisdiction
embraces the entire state of Nevada.
Referring to the present fuel sit
had found the car movement gener-
ally satisfactory and that it was par
ticularly good in this immediate sec
ton. A coal shortage exists at
some points, but there is no serious
threat of a fuel famine and cOndi-
lions are as good in Goldfield as
elsewhere.
There is an ample supply of coal
on hand in Goldfield for immediate
needs, according to the information
obtained by the inspector, and a con-
siderable quantity will reach here by
the time the present supply Is ex-
hausted. Three carloads of coal
vert through here yesterday for
Tonopah. The matter of price regu-
lation will be taken up at once
throughout the state by federal Off
Gals who have arrived at Reno for
that purpose.

FINE PROSPECT
At SPRUCE MT.
PROPERTIES ARE NOW SHIP
PING To SHELTERS IN
UTAH

]. G.. Davis. of Wells, who is in
terested in the Black Forest mine
at Spruce mountain. returned from
the camp Tuesday night. From
Mr.. Davis we learned hat the
BLACK Forest mine has produced
seven car loads of h~igh-grade sill
ver-lead ore during the past six
months, six carloads of which have
been shipped from Jasper siding
over the Western Pacific railroad
to the American Smelling & Refin-
ing company at Murray, Utah. The
Black Forest mine has always been
a valuable property, and has pro-
duced as much. if not more high
grade silver-lead ore as any other
property in the camp.
Edward Bradish, another Wells
lite, has taken a lease on the Key
stone mine, and this week shipped
a carload of ore to the smelter. The
Keystone is another old-time pro
Queer. This property was owned,
and operated for many years by
the late Abner Wiseman.
Adjoining the Keystone property,
on the north, is the Contact mine,
from which thousands of tons OF
copper ore we're mined and shipped
by Messrs. Dunn & Hand about
twelve years ago. This property
was leased to James Byron and
Robert Hartley, Jr., early in the
spring, and the boys have made
good. They shipped two carloads
OF thirty-five to forty per cent cop
per ore. ca. rying silver and other
metals, to the smelter a couple Of
weeks ago. Mr.. Hartley has pur-
chased Mr.. Byron's interest in the
lease, and will operate the mine all
winter.
The Banner Hill claims are still
in the producing class, two carloads
of s~ilver-cOpper ore having been
sent to the smelter during the past

ley, who, since the death of his
brother, Charles, last spring, has

G. M. Spence, the Oldest pioneer
of the camp, who came to Spruce
mountain in the early SOS, is still
in the game and rs active as any
OF the newcomers. During the sum
mer months he operated one of his
claims through the old Latham
shaft, and, so we are informed,
shipped five carloads of ore to the
Utah smelters. Mr.. Spence has
lone more development work in the
mines of the district than any ten
men or companies interested there.
and he has made good financially.
At present he has a number of men
employed and hopes to strike pay
ore in sufficient quantities to keep
the deep shaft mine in operation
all winter.
The X. c.. O'Neil group of claims
was leased to a couple of miners
early last summer. The lessons
have shipped one carload of high
grade copper-silver ore via. TObar
to the Murray smelter. and they
have another carload of the same
kind or ore ready to ship.
1t is reported in Spruce hat
George Allen has purchased the
Black Eagle mining claim and m
tends working the property on Il
large scale next spring. The Black
Eagle was formerly owned by the
late Joe Scott and the late Allen
Fisher, and while no shipment of
ore has ever been made from this
mine, the workings show silver-lead
and silver-copper ores as rich as
any yet found in the entire district.

SPEAKERS START
new CAMPAIGN
sFOUR-MINUTE' INFORMATION
MAY NOW BE READ BY
PUBLIC

-
j. NJ. Fenwick delivered a four
minute speech Saturday night at the
Exchange theater on Carrying the
Message" devoted to a new angle
of four-minute work started recent
ly. which gives speakers a wide lati-
tude in addressing audiences.
This latest subject is an effort by
the four-minute men to induce the
public to read and think intelligent
iy on subjects relating to the war
and in this way counteract German
propaganda dangerous to the well
fare of the nation in the conduct of
the war.
The organization of four-minute
men now consists of $4,000 speak
ers and is growing at a rate of 1000
each month, the speakers reaching
great numbers in all parts of the
country and translating the govern
ment's message into simple terms
for the people. The new campaign
is " iuuuCS luO pCopiO hot why "
listen, but to read, and now anyone
can secure pamphlets issued by the
department of public information by
simply sending his name on a pos
tai addressed to "Four-Minute Man,
Goldfield, New" In this way every
n can be a four-minute man and
A. -,tl
clad in armor that no anti-Ameri-
caI can pierce.
In speaking on this subject, Mr..
Fenwick said, I'VE have been TAX
ins things 90 easy in this country.
We have had so much liberty and
freedom and independence and pros
rerity that it is difficult to grasp
tie extent of the German system of
Notwithstanding propaganda

are we going to allow them to put
it over us here? Not ever, for if
there are those among us who are
enemies of our country, they are
oar enemies too and if we have to,
We will go right over the top after
them and put them where they be-
long"
The new campaign is, from these
remarks, evidently an attempt by
the government, through the four
minute men, to warn the s%preaders
Of German propaganda that the lid
is on.
F. M. Stoller spoke o the same
subject Sunday night at the Lyric
theater and in the course of his ad-
dr ess read a recent letter from Pre-
si0ent Wilson to the four-minute
men, in which he thanked them for
their services and told them that
Men and nations are at their worst
or at their best in any great strug-
gle. The spoken word may light
the fires of passion and unreason
or it may inspire to highest action
and noblest sacrifice a nation of
freedom.
Upon you FOur-Minute Men, who
are charged with a special duty and
enjoy a special privilege in the com
mand of your audiences, will rest
in a considerable degree the task of
arousing and informing the great
body of our people so that when
the record of these days is complete
we shall read page for page with
the deeds of army and navy the
story of the unity, the spirit of sac
rifice, the unceasing labors, the high
courage of the men and women at
home who held unbroken the inner
lines"

of the hop has been disposed of to
