SALE OF TOL|CHA
CLAIMS RESTRAINED
LOCAL MAN ASKS ONE-THIRD
INTEREST IN PRO
CEEDS

On Tuesday Dave Ward, a local
man, through his attorney, M. a.
Diskin. obtained from Judge Walsh
a temporary restraining order to
prevent ]. ]. Jordan and Ed Yeiser,
discoveries of the Tolicha mining
district, from collecting further
money in the sale of the Life Pre-
Life Preserver No. . claims in that
district, which the complaint al
leges the discovers have sold under
an agreement with Zeb Kendall Of
Tonopah.
The court set Oct. 16 as the date
OF which the defendants are to ap-
pear and show cause why the order
should not be made permanent.
Papers in the case were served on
both defendants yesterday at To-
licha. On issuance of the i%njunc-
ton Ward furnished a bond in the
amount of $4,000.
The suit is brought under an
alleged grubstake agreement which
the complaint states was entered in
to between the parties to the suit
on or about Feb. 20, this year. The
action was brought in this county
as the county in which the alleged
agreement is said to have been
made.
NJ. A. Diskin, Wards attorney,
this morning stated that it was not
the intention of his client to in any
way interfere with the operation of
the property, the terms of the al
legged sale being satisfactory to
Ward. He said that an injunction
was asked to restrain the defendants
from disposing of the property so
that his clients alleged share in the
proceeds of the sale might be Sc
cured. Ward claims a one-third in
terest.

wEXTRAvAGANCE IN
RETAIL BUSINESS
NATIONAL COUNCIL OF DE-
TENSE URGING ECONOMIES
IN DELIVERY SERVICE

The recommendations of the Ma
tional Council of Defense in rela-
ton to reductions of cost in the
operation of the retail stores are
c~anceling the privilege of returning
goods, or rather refusing to send
out goods on approval. They are
also reducing their delivery costs
end eliminating delivery service.
This service is discontinued as to
certain classes of packages and pur-
chasers are carrying packages that
they would not have thought of
carrying a year ago.
All this operates to keep down
the cost of doing business, and the
merchant who is honest with his
customers gives them the benefit
of the reduced cost of operation.
Nevada has not been as prompt in
putting these economic suggestions
into effect as some other states, but
they are at last taking root here.
They we're an issue in the recent
labor controversies at Tonopah, and
it was pointed out how the mer-
chants could cut out the cost of
operating about 10 delivery wa
CONS by joining in a consolidated or
common service, the cost to be
borne by all stores in proportion
to the service required by each. 1t
was also reported that the state
council of defense had interviewed
in that instance to bring this about.
Yesterday the Consolidated store in
Goldfield gave notice that beginning
October l, service would be limit
ed to one delivery per day in each
district of the city.
This is a move that affects every
retail merchant throughout the
country and should affect all their
patrons. The cost of this and other
services has 3een one of the chief
auses contributing to the high cCSt
of living, and it is to be hoped that
it will not be lost sight of when
the var is over and normal cond'.
tions are restored. There are mil
lions of instan' es in which this cos;
has exceeded all other costs OIL
bined, including cost of manufac-
ture or production, and the rut-
chaser, when he gets his bill, often
wonders why an article costing five
cents to produce it is sold for 20
cents. even if il cost 80 cents to de-
liver it to him.

NOVEL DRAWING is
DISPLAYED IN CAFE

There is OF display in a local
cafe a drawing, the work of one of
Uncle Sans soldiers, and all who
have seen it have agreed that it is
clever. 1t is a drawing Of Pres
dent Wilson, illuminated with flags
and stars and with the words Our
president" underneath. It's nOvel'y
lies in the fact that it is executed
in pen and ink and with n contin-
uous line started on the otter eds"
and drawn continuously to the cen
ter, the outlines being formed by
shading of the line. The drawins
was sent here by Jack S~tackpoole
and is the work of II of the men
in his regiment.

Monarch Pittsburg
For the past couple of weeks,
the Monarch Pittsburg Mining COM
pany, which, during the absence
of superintendent Branch Smith, is
being directed by w. ]. Douglass,
superintendent of the Midway Con-
solidated, another of the s~O-called
Cal Brougher properties, has been
running a raise from the S00-foot
level, in the western portion
of the P%ittsburg claim, this being
done for exploratory purposes.
Buckeye Belmont
During the week the under
ground work has been suspended
while some repairs were being
made to the headframe and skip.
It was thought best to overhaul the
equipment at this time so as not
to delay the work of driving the
intermediate level for repairs that
might have to be made in the dead
of winter when it would occasion a
longer delay.-Tonopah Miner.

MAKES SALE OF
TOL|CHA GROUP
PROPERTY IN NEW DISTRICT
PURCHASED FOR GOOD
FIGURE

Tolicha is COINS some in a tate
where they do things swiftly and
mining deals are consummated right
off the reel without any long delays.
This morning the Periscope group,
including three claims known as the
Periscope, Periscope No. l and Peri
scope No. 3, located by Paddy Nc
Auliffe. Pat Jordan and Lyn Peter
son. were taken over by f. b. Cald-
well and +. j. Highland and the
first payment was made at the Tono-
pah Banking corporation at 10
represented by John f. Kunz of
Goldfield, and the deeds were placed
in escrow.
McAuliffe and Jordan have been
prospecting for many years and five
years ago were leaders in opening the
camp of Antelope. near the old
jamestown mine. McAuliffe did not
make much out of the deal, but he
has a group of claims which, he
says, will some day become good pro-
ducers. Jordan made the first strike
at Antelope and his success was of
the phenomenal order, shipments be-
ginning at a depth of 60 feet and
continuing at the rate of about So
GOO a month for five months.
McAuliffe continued working in
the Jumbo Ex., always on the alert
for another opportunity to make a
1nantinn Tha nIann -, In1,r -
when, late one night, he received Il
tip on the new camp of Tolicha. He
did not wait for daylight, but hur-
ried out in his trusty flivver and by
noon had monumented the Periscope
group. These claims adioin the orig
inal location, lying due east, and
from the first samples good pam
nings were secured.
McAuliffe, in telling the story of
how he came to make the locations.
said he had been watching the re-
turns from the new camp, but did
not do anything until the night of
the cath of July, when he heard of
the big assay of $172 from the Life
Preserver. One hour later he and
his friends were hitting the pike in
their little old f%livver, although the
roads were washed out and they had
to go it blindly in a general south
erly direction from Goldfield. The
price stipulated for the Periscope
group is $4,000, of which $500
was paid this morning and the bal
ance arranged for in stated pay
ments.
Three days ago another sale OF
equal Importance was closed in Gold
field. This was the Landmark group
located five days after the Periscope
by Ed Yeiser, better known as jun
bo," and Jack Jordan. The price
was 100000, with the first payment
of $500 already in hand. The buy
ers were f. b. Caldwell and X. J..
Highland.
An illustration of the chances of
mining is the fact that the PeriscOpe
group was first located six years
ago by Sorenson and Cole of Tono-
pah, who drove a tunnel in a dis
lance of so feet on the west side of
the hill opposite the new camp.

MINERS WANTED
FOR ARMY DUTY
REGIMENT TO BE FORMED OF
MEN WHO ARE
QUALIFIED

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30. The
United States engineer office of the
war department here, 725 Central
building, has been directed to Sc
cure men for a mining company to
form part of the 23d regiment.
A mining company forms a very
important part of the service, since
modern warfare. requires in many
ase the driving of tunnels or min
ing galleries under the enemy's
works to demolish them by the ex-
plosion of large charges of dyna-
mite. Mining companies will be
called upon to furnish the skilled
men to direct these operations, the
handling and placing of powder,
and so IN.
In addition to the foregoing, it is
probable that it will be necessary to
reopen coal mines which have been
closed down or partially destroyed
by the enemy forces and the special
skill and knowledge of these min
ing companies will be very essen
tisl.
Two quarry companies will also
form a part of the 23d regiment.
They will be used in securing the
necessary material to construct OBJ
servation points, to repair roads,
wharves and buildings, and assist
in constructing the necessary bases
for the giant guns used in batter
ing the enemy.
Skilled workmen such as survey
ors, enginemen, rock-drill men, pit
bosses, miners, electricians, powder
men, mine timbermen, compressor
men; gasoline enginemen, pump
men, masons, stone cutters, team
sters, ETC., are wanted. Every man
must enlist az a private and show
in comparison with others in his
company hat he should be selected
for a higher grade. An equal
chance is given every one, depend
ing on his early enlistment.
Applicants should procure let
tiers of recommendation, preferably
from employers, and submit same
to this office. Should the applicant
live at considerable distance from
Los Angeles, it is suggested that he
consult a physician at his place of
residence to discover whether he
is physically qualified, as no trans
portation can be furnished except
from the enlistment office to the
station of the regiment to which he
is assigned.
Men within draft age must have
a statement signed by the clerk of
their local exemption board, stating
thai they are not in the first call.
In the event an applicant is found
physically qualified by his physi-
clan, he should have the statement
of his local exemption board signed
just before leaving for Los Angeles
in order that the five-day limit may
not expire before he reaches the
recruit depot at San francisco.
Married men desiring to enlist
must submit sworn statement of
the wife before a notary public,
that she is not dependent upon him
for support or, in the event of a
divorce proceeding, a statement
from the judge.
1t is further suggested hat men
desiring to enlist communicate at
their earliest convenience with this
office by letter or wire, stating eX
perience and qualifications, as en-
listments for these companies are
being made throughout the United
States.
