AMBULANCE men
WELL EQUIPPED
FURNISHED WARM GARMENTS
BY NAVY LEAGUE COM
FORTS COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, ID. g., Sept. 25.-
Clad in new uniforms and equipped
with sweaters and helmets furnished
by the navy league comforts commit
tee, 1000 men from the Allentown
ambulance camp nave sailed for
service at the front in France.
With their gray knitted helmets
snugly fitting over their heads and
around their necks the 1000 bright
fellows who have gone to alleviate
suffering in the trenches looked like
so many water %aviators" as they
hung over the deck rails of the
transatlantic steamer which was to
carry them into service abroad.
The comforts committe of the
navy league, knowing that these men
would be exposed night and day to
the hardships of a bleak, cold win
ter in northern France, made three
shipments of warm wooden garments
to the commander of the Allentown
camp.
Sweaters, helmets, mufflers and
wristlets, made by the loving hands
of mothers, sisters and sweethearts
left behind, we're included for the
boys who volunteered to labor for
the suffering.
That the ambulance drivers appre-
ciate the patriotic labor of the
American women who unselfishly
gave time and money to provide
them with necessary warm clothing
is demonstrated by a letter which
has been received by an official Of
the navy league by Commander j.
r. Devereaux of the ambulance
corps going to France.

sweaters, helmets, etc." wrote Col

"In this connection l desire to
thank you sincerely for your per-

time, and officially to thank the
league for their generosity towards
this corps. I do not believe that a
man who has received these is not
appreciative of the gift"

ASSAULT CASE
is DISMISSED BY COURT

On motion of District Attorney
Roger Foley, District Judge Walsh
this morning dismissed the case
against Joe Martin of Ida, charg-
ed with assault with intent to kill
Roy White, driver of the Ida
stage. Martin was tried a short
time ago and the jury disagreed. In
asking for a dismissal the district
attorney stated that as White was
soon to leave for a national army
training camp it would be impos-
sible to present at a second trial as
strong a cas- as was presented at
the first trial. He said he believed
the jury that tried Martin was as
good as could have been obtained
and that he did not ARE to spend
any further county money in pro-
scouting the case.

That important ore development is
now being made in the Union Con.
mine at the north end of the Com
stock is shown by the following Of

This new development is being
made on a new vein in the main
Comstock country, and in a large ex-
tent of virgin territory, and the out
lock for an extensive Orebody is ex-
ceptionally promising. The ore TAX
en- out to late indicates a different
character of ore than hitherto en-
countered in recent years, it contain
ing very little lead and zinc sui
phides, being of a pure silver sui
phide, with some gold.
The values run from 55 to 90
per cent in silver, which is the pro-
portion that has prevailed in the
large ~orebodies of this camp, which
is a most encouraging feature of
the new strike, and would strongly
indicate permanency and large di-
mansions. Samples of ore ire rich
in sulphides and of clean-cut appear
ance, and the formation in which
the ore iC exposed g ample cause
for confidence in the future of the
find.
There is said to be ample room
in the present section OF the mine
for a great orebody, and it is a fact
shown by the history of the lode that
ore of this richness quickly yields
millions of dollars, which means
dividends for stockholders. The
company has the property in excel
lent condition; the ore can be mined

STRIKE IMPROVING
ON THE ORC AMIGO

The strike of new ore made last
week on the Orc Amigo is reported
to be looking very good. The work
of developing this portion of the
mine is progressing and, while the
amount of ore opened here is not
to date large enough to be of great
importance, the character of the
ground is such al to encourage the
Lelief that the work may lead into
az other large ore body. However,
it will take time to demonstrate the
real value of the new strike.-Good-

Butter AviateS

At Gardnerville butter toOk a
sharp advance a few days ago, ad-
vancing to $1.10 for a t~wO-pOund
roll. This is believed to be the
highest retail figure that has been
reached in 20 years or more and it
is also believed that it will remain
at about that figue as long as hay
prices remain as high as they are
at present. Local mills are paying
$50 a ton for wheat and even this
price is not tempting enough to in
duce farmers to dispose of their
crops.

That a great revival in mining is
intended for Ormsby county is be-
coming more apparent every day, n
that operations in that line will be-
gin within a very short time a
been assured by the announcement
the past week that two enterprises of
more than ordinary Importance will
begin active work in the Brunswick
section inside of the next 80 or 40
days.
First will be the operation of the
Bessemer Consolidated Mining COM
pany, of a large estate in
Brunswick canyon, about four miles
southeast of the station of that name
on the Virginia and Truckee rail-
way, and nine miles east of Carson.
Second will be the activities of the
Univeda Gold Dredging company,
which has leased for a term of years
the Brunswick and Merrimac prop
erty, consisting of about 48O acres
and situated in the Carson river at
Brunswick, six miles from this city.
The Bessemer Consolidated, in
which the Yerington family of this
city is interested to a large extent,
has at divers times in the past years
done considerable work in thai vi
entity, which is known as the Della
ware mining district, and has opened
up on several of it's claims what
promises to become one of the great
est iron deposits in the west.
Through the section, on the sur
face, the deposit has been traced for
a distance of 1000 feet by huge
bikes protruding in instances 20 and
80 feet above the surface and indi-
eating by the high content of iron
which they contain what may he ex-
pected when underground operations
on a large scale have been consum-
mated. Fifty feet below one of
these bikes, which on the surface
shows a width of Is feet, an adit
has been run and when 40 or so
feet in penetrated II feet of solid
ore, and continuing it's course for
200 feet has cross-cut our parallel
veins.
One hundred and fifty feet below
the above mentioned workings, an
other tunnel, now in 500 feet, has
been run, and from this a raise is
being pushed upward to connect
with the ledge and a chute is being
constructed to drop the ore.
From this lower tunnel cross-cuts
are now being projected and but lit
tie more work is necessary to cut
the vein at this depth, giving in all
EOS feet of backs. This tunnel site
is but little above the country level
and only a short distance from the
main wagon road, making the
handling of the product both easy
and economical.
When the company begins active
work, which will be within 80 days,
a five-ton electric auto truck will be
placed in commission and transport
the ore to the railroad station. 1t is
estimated that for the present Is
tons a day or 100 ton a week will
be shipped. the objective point being
San Francisco, where the ore has
been contracted for and will be re-
duced to pigs.
A carload of the ore was recently
