 CAMP

MCCARTHY, Oct. 13-A building boom has struck this camp and new buildings are springing up in every direction.
 The Kennecott mine is running full blast and is sending out 100000 tons of ore per month under the sup .ervision of Supt Stannard.
 The Ladysmith Smelling Company has purchased the Westover property, which is one of the best developed copper properties in this district, and is ready to ship ore to the shelter.
 The people of this vicinity have raised sufficient vegetables this year for their own use and to spare. In the course of a year or so they will be shipping to other less fortunate points on the railroad.
 Frank Ivanson had 15 acres of oats this year which would have yielded 100 bushels to the acre if allowed to mature. Sufficient hay is being raised for stock, and while her people make no claims to be other than mining camp, Mccarthy is making quite a showing in the agricultural line.
 Otto Luby, who planted several acres to spuds this year recently sold eight tons of potatoes from his ranch.
 Frank Herman, who is operating the Young and Chittitu rivers arrived in town with a good cleanup for his summers work.

MILLER NOT CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR

Regarding the possible candidacy
of John II. Miller for Governor on
the Republican ticket the Tonopah
Times is authority for the following.
Much has been said and published
during recent weeks to the effect
that John II. Miller well known mer-
chant of Hawthorne. and who is al
SO heavily intel ested in mining af-
fairs at Manhattan, would be a
candidate for Governor at the cleo
tion to be held in November, 1918.
The Times has been privileged by
Mr.. Miller to make the first denial
that he will be candidate for Gov
ernor.
There is absolutely no truth in
the rumor," stated Mr.. Miller, "and
the thought is fartherost from my
mind" | never authorized anybody
to groom me for the office, and as
conditions now exist it would be i'm
possible for me to even consider the
matter"

ENCOURAGING LETTER
FROM FRANK CLINTON

Harry Clinton is in receipt of a
letter from his son Francis W, now
in San Antonio, Texas. Frank has
made splendid progress, is now in
the Aviation corps, and as part of
the military training, is in the mess
quarters where he has graduated
from assistant to Chief Chef. In
army circles we believe this position
is designated as cook and judging
from Franks report this is what he
is. There is a company of 900 men
to cook for and as an introduction
to the day Frank bakes for these
comrades, for a portion of their
breakfast, 1900 biscuits and the i'm
preston gathered from the letter
was that they were all eaten but
whether in compliment to his pro-
ficiency as cook or the degree of
hunger reached by the boys in Kahki
Frank did not state. And then con-
slider 40 square feet of cake, not for
covering for a tent floor but to be
eaten by these ravenous youths.

REPORTED BURGLARY
OF PLUMBERS SHOP

The Office of Sheriff Wildes was
the scene of excitement last week
when a frantic call was sent in from
]. P Doyle, the plumber. Upon
Fastening to the shop the officers
were informed that a burglary had
been committed, the loot secured
consisting of an adding machine.
Investigation disclosed that nothing
else had been taken although there
was a large stock of bath tubs in
plain sight. Suspicion was at once
directed to the Mexicans because of
these being undisturbed it being as
sumed that they were in ignorance of
their uses. As the news of the
search for the culprit percolated
through the town it brought to light
the fact that David Erkid, electrician,
who holds key to the shop with the
privilege of entering at any time,
had borrowed the adder the night
previous and had left a neatly word
ed announcement to that effect on
the desk of Mr.. Doyle. Apologies
were made after which Mr.. Doyle
sought the seclusion of the shade
trees, there to ponder upon the
wisdom embraced in the philosophy
of Davy Crockett. BE sure you are
right and then go to it."

RECEPTION RENDERED TO
MRS. J. c. TERRELL

An invitational affair was held at
the home of Mrs. /. b. Marsh last
Wednesday evening. 1t is not ad-
mitted whether designedly or
through accident that this year was
mistaken for Leap Year but the fact
remains that the invitations were
bestowed on the young men by the
young ladies in charge. 1t has been
intimated that the dearth of avail
able youths nowadays prompted the
keen mind of a certain young lady
in this venture and in the nature of
preparedness adopted the above
plan. There were in spite of the
absence of many of our youths from
town some anxious faces among the
younger set until their names were
called, and the opinion was voiced
that the custom should be followed
in the future. The gathering was in
honor of Mrs. DR.. Ferrell who is on
a brief visit from her new home in
strumental added to the enjoyment
of the evening and later refresh
ments were served.
The young ladies who were spon-
sors for the affair were: Miss Mat
tie and Evelyn Steinbrook, and the
Misses Grace Latta, La Retta and

IMPORTANT RULING FOR
THE WAR DEPENDENTS
Monthly Pay Thirty Dollars May
Arrange to Allot Amy Portion
To Members of Family

/. The following telegram from
the Provost Marshal General is here
by published for the information and
guidance of all concerned:
"Please call attention of Local
Boards to the fact that soldiers
pay is not less than thirty dollars a
month and that all clothing, sub
isstence, medical treatment and
housing are furnished him. Under
the law he may allot any portion of
his pay to dependent. Many soldiers
receiving thirty dollars a month are
easily able to allot twenty-five dol
lars monthly to the support of de-
pendents. In case of death in line
of duty the Government will pay to
the beneficiary designated by the
soldier six months pay. Section
of the Selective Service Act provides
that those in status with a respect
to persons dependent upon them for
support which renders their exclu-
sion or discharge advisable may be
discharged, but it does not require
that they shall be discharged in all
such cases. The discretion of Local
Boards is invoked by this provision
and such Boards may well take the
facts recited above into consideration
in dacidiup claims for dispbarpp due
to dependency with view to de-
termining whether, as a matter OF
fact, the person claiming such dis
charge will not be in as good or bet
ter position to support his depend
ents after selection for military SER
vice than he was before. If such is
the case, of course, discharge should
not be granted"

REAVIS HOUSE PARTY
FOR MALE FRIENDS

To relieve the gloom that has
settled upon him sinre the departure
for California of Mrs. Reavis and
his interesting Riddles" w. II,
Reavis invited a number of friends
last week to his home to participate
in that mysterious function known
as a Stag party. In the plans for
the event Billie was Allotted by Paul
Brandon and how complete these
we're is evidenced by the expression
of several of those in attendance,
"theer was nothing lacking either
in pleasure or novelty" OF stories
there were many and by an arbitrary
rule of the evening only those of new
born quality were allowed a hearing.
The music was of the high standard
to be expected from such artists in
their line as Messrs G. F. Foote,
Johnston Price. Glen F. Engle and
l.. II. Brigham whose quartette num-
bers were splendidly rendered. Other
musical features were a trio by
Messrs. Engle, Foote and Brigham
which was accompanied by mando-
lin and guitar. So successful was
the entire affair that several of the
Benedicts present declared their in
tention of encouraging their wives
to take a much needed rest in the
country. The courage of the party
was shown in the list of invited
guests these numbering thirteen, a
defiance to all the superstitions at
tached to that despised numeral.

u. OF n. FACULTY IS NOW
TWO MEMBERS SHORT
Regents Meet Friday and May Select
President; Dean System May
BE Abolished

Two positions on the faculty at
the university are still vacant and
no applications have yet been filed
for the two positions, which include
teacher of chemistry and an in
structor in the department of civil
engineering.
Some eastern teachers were rec
commended for the positions by
Chairman Abel of the board of re-
gents but as yet none have accepted.
The demand for chemists in the in
dustrial field is so great now that it
is thought this position at the uni
yersity will be hard to fill.
The board of regents will meet
Friday to conclude the faculty ap-
pointments if possible and may also
select q president. The members of
the board have been making pri-
vate Investigations regarding seven
men recommended by Chairman Abel
and the board has decided on asking
one of them to come to Reno to view
the field.
The position of dean of the col
lege of engineering, held formerly
by Prof. j. G. Serugham, and that
of dean of the college of arts and
sciences, which was vacated by the
resignation of Prof. J. c. Watson,
will not be filled until a new presi-
dent is elected.
Some members of the board of re-
gents are in favor of abolishing the
dean system altogether and going
back to the system in vogue prior
to the presidency of A. w. Hendrick,
but it is understood that this will
not be done until the views of the
new president are considered.
As far as the freshman class is
concerned, the advance applications
indicate that it will be as large in
September as in past years, but the
most of the men students from the
upper classes have either enlisted or
have been drafted, and it is expected
that there will be large decrease in
the total registration.-Gaze
