U.S.WANTS MINING
MEN FOR NEW
REGIMENT
MINERS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO
ARMY ENGINEER SER
VICE

The engineer corps of the United
States army has been authorized to
raise, by voluntary enlistment, a
special mining regiment to consist
of six companies of $50 men each
and to be known as the 9th En-
gineers, National Army. This regi-
ment is now being recruited. The
first company has been formed and
is in training at Camp Meade, Md.
This regiment is to be made up
entirely of picked men from the
various mining sections of the coun-
try. All trades and occupations in
and around a mine will be repre-
sented and each company will have
a sufficient number of men skilled
in each trade to enable it tt oper-
ate as a unit.
The work to be done is purely
military in character and what is
known as first line work. 1t
consists Of the preparation of I'M
Z 8 Ouhu oIlCitOio " Nv li6litlh6
troops and the placing of explosive
mines. This work requires a high
degree of skill in rapid tunneling
construction and involves the hand
ling of all sorts of material from
clay and chalk to hard rock. In
addition to the regular engineer
equipment, each company will be
provided with special tools such as
%tunneling and boring machines.
drills, compressors, hoists, lighting
sets, etc.
While most of the work of the
9th Engineers will be underground
mining, the regiment will be trained
to fight as well as to mine. The
commanding officers of the regi-
ment being largely drawn from the
mining engineers who have volunt-
eered their services and who have
been given the necessary training
at the officers training camps.
All men who volunteer for this
service will be enlisted as privateS,
but those who show themselves
qualified will be raised to the grade
Of non-commissioned officer. Any
recruiting officer will enlist men for
this regiment, but each mar must
show proper qualifications by way
OF experience and pass the usual
physical examination.
All men between the e OF Is
ard Al are eligible for enlistment,
if not actually drawn on the draft.
The 9th Engineers offers a great
opportunity for the miners of this
country to show their skill and
courage. Any experienced mining
man who wants first line service in
France is urged to enlist at once.

LIBRARY FUND
STARTED HERE
MONEY ASKED no PROVIDE LIZ
BRARIES AT CANTON
MENTS

At the request of the government
the American Library association has
undertaken to provide libraries for
the soldiers now in the various an
tonments. The cantonments are to
a great extent isolated and in most
every instance they are far remov-
ed from the home states of the
troops assembled in them. AS fast
as possible the government is seeing
that nothing is lacking in equip
ment and material to make the new
soldiers efficient fighting men, but
all their time will not be required
for training and drill and some pro-
vision must be made for their hours
of leisure.
that the library association is en-
deavoring to provide through the
raising of a $1,000, 900 fund, known
as the 81 100000 Library Wa
Fund. The raising of this fund is
under the authority of the govern
ment, as the following letter to the
association indicates:
War Department, Aug. %, 1917.
l understand that the American
Library association has generously
assumed the responsibility, under
the direction of your commission,
for providing reading material in
our training camps, and that the
plans which they have formulated
to carry put this design are most
comprehensive.
1t is my understanding that the
library war council will assist in
connection with the campaign to
provide the libraries and books, and
l trust hat this activity, which will
mean so much for the men, will meet
with every success. Cordially yours,
NEWTON d. BAKER,
Secretary of War.
The raising of money for the fund
in this state is under the direction
of the state librarian and contribu-
tions here may be left with Postmas-
ter Helen Rosenthal. The following

DA AMONG IRISH IN
UNITED STATES

AMSTERDAM, Nov. "a. - The
first number of a new German re-
view, the Irische Batter (Irish
Leaves) has just made its appear
ance in Berlin. 1t is published by
the German-Irish Society, which Is
under the presidency of Matthias
Erzburger, assisted by Count West
arp and Baron Won Richthoven.
The editor of the journal is George
Chatterton Hill, while st. John CAT
fney, former American consul-gen-
eral at Munich is one of its direc-
tors.
The first number contains letters
of congratulation and good wishes
from General Ludendorff and For
rler Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
These are followed by the "Inaugur-
al Address" of the German-Irish So
Ciety, which says in part.
The war has proved that Ger
many has very few friends. But the
Irish have acted as friends at home
as well as in the United States, and
Germany must not underestimate
the value of Irish friendship. From
the beginning of the war the Amer
lean Irish adopted the German
cause with enthusiasm, and, in alli-
ance with the German-Americans,
conducted a courageous fight for
true neutrality.
THE formation of this society is
to supply visible proof to the Irish
in Ireland as we'll as in America of
German gratitude and German SYM
pathy. The heroic rebellion of
1916 still lives in the memory of all
of us. The uprising in Dublin, dur
ing which 1000 armed Irish defied
q British force many times their
superior, evoked lively interest in
Germany for the Emerald Isle and
all it's inhabitants.
THE German-Irish Society will
devote it's energies to r%eopening Ire
land to the world, and especially to
Germany. 1t will in every way fur
ther the progressive development of
the Emerald Isle in the interest of
the German as well as the Irish
1keople,"

COYOTE MAKES
SPEEDY RAID
AT LEAST SEVEN DOGS BITTEN
IN EARLY MORN
ING

If only one coyote was in town this
morning, as some say, it was a lively,
fast-traveling one, as it is known to
have bitten at least seven dogs in
widely separated parts of the town.
The animal first appeared about
6:30 and apparently went through
from north to south, going as far
west as Sixth street and east to
Bellevue in it's travels. 1t is be-
lieved that all the dogs that were
bitten have been killed.
The biting career of the coyote
was stopped by r. L.. Foster, a wa
ter vendor residing on South Column
bia street. who shot it in the barn
of Mrs. Johnson ON the same street
after it had bitten her dog and at
tempted to bite a burro, which kept
the coyote away with its heels. The
head will be sent to Reno tomorrow
morning for examination in the uni
versity laboratories. Nothing un-
usual was noted in the appearance
of the animal.
Mrs. Johnson says she saw two
coyotes and it is believed possible
that there were more than one. Dep
uty Sheriff Box saw the one that ap-
~parently was the most active as it
went south through the west side
and he says it paid little attention to
him, even though he had q gun in
hand. inc continued on it's way
without hurrying. He was cfraid to
fire toward the town at the coyote
and it continued south.
In months past coyotes nave en-
tered Goldfield. but the N of this
morning was the most daring that
showed more fight. Travelled faster
and did more damage than any of
the previous ones.

WEDGE COMPANY
TO BUILD MILL
OTHER MINES OF LUNING DIS
TRICT MAKING GOOD
RECORDS

LUNING, New, Nov. 81. The
last three samples of ore from the
bottom of the Siri shaft of the
Wedge Copper company on which
assay returns were received gave
values of $17.37, $3.50 and s14.-
81 per ton respectively, which
makes a good average product for
a copper mine, especially when the
ore is treated in a mill on the
ground. The plans for the erec-
ton of such a mill on the Wedge
ground have progressed to the
point where the eastern associates
OF President Mark Walser are to
soon have a meeting in New York
to devise ways and means for the
project.
The Wedge has one of the most
complete mining equipments in the
Luning district, including 40 h. p.
Fairbanks-Morse engine, four-drill
air compressor, fine assay Office,
clubhouse, boarding house and a
number of smaller houses for the
married men.
A number of applications for
leases on the st. Patrick mine of
the Kirchen Mines corporation have
been made and the management has
taken under advisement the matter
o. giving these miners a lease on
some of the ground which the COM
pany is not now developing.
Near the surface of the st. Pat
rick there is a large body of iron
ore carrying a lesser percentage of
copper than ore on the lower
levels from which large shipments
we're made last spring, but which
we're discontinued on account of a
shortage of coke at the Thompson
smelter. Now, with IN increased
supply of coke, it is expected that
the smelter will again seek these
ores.
The second carload of silver ore
went out from the R. B.. Todd mine
last week which is expected to run
equally as good a. the first. On
the top of Todd mountain is a vein,
5 to 6 feet wide, that will run about
SIP in gold and silver. No more
development will be done on this
vein until there is a mill on the
ground to treat the ore.
The development of the Luning-
Idaho group is proceeding with good
results and another carload of cop
per ore will go to the smelter next
week. This property has very en-
couraging showings at widely separ-
ated points on it's ground.
On the Anderson group of the Pi-
lot Copper company's property they
are taking out IS tons a day of ore
that will average 5 per cent copper.
This is from a vein that was open
ed up in a cross-cut from the 13O-
foot point in the shaft. The cross
cut was driven straight ahead in
the vein for Ia feet, then drifts at
right angles were run each way for
II feet, and the other wall is not
yet in sight.
The veins on this group, unlike
others of the Pilot company's, were
small on the surface but widen
rapidly as depth is gained. The
other workings on the Pilot ground
are looking unusually we'll but
shipments have been delayed some

Restrictive Measures OF Greatest Benefit
to Soldiers.
Harper's Magazine: 1t may be said
that alcoholic insanity, which is some
thing quite different from intemperance
and totally disabling affair, becomes
especially conspicuous under war con-
ditions, asserts a well known medical
authority. according to Pearce Bailey.
NJ. ID. In the Russo-Japanese war. one
third of the Russian officers who be-
came insane became so by reason of
alcohol.
Alcohol has always fiayed armies In
addition to the inefficiency and disease
which it causes during the soldiers ser

practically all habits are formed. Army
organization might be an efficient aid
in the campaign against alcoholism. II
does what IL can. II excludes alcohol
from it's barracks and camps, but it
meets with very little cooperation on
the part OF the civil community, as is
shown by the drinking resorts which
collect in the neighborhood of military
posts.
Drinking should be made impossible
near large points of concentration. For
tunately for the troops stationed last
summer along the Mexican border. Tex
as had a local restriction regarding
alcohol which forbade the sale after 3

great benefit and resulted in there being

TRAINS NEED WIRELESS.
Fine for Use in Case OF Wrecks aud
HoItlups

Electrical Experimenter: "A number
of American railroads have experiment.
ed with wireless installations on moving
trains and exceptional results have been
obtained In many instances, the mes
sages having been transmitted over
distances of rs to 100 miles from the

George Wall, to suggest that all trains

such as the prairies of the west and
southwest be provided with wireless ap-
paratus particularly for use in summon

up by train robbers.
Albeit, this Is not such a far-fetched
idea, at that. as we read quite often
of train being held up. even in this
latter age of enlightenment and civiii-
zation. AZ the unsettled regions of the
country are becoming rapidly populated,
at least to a fair extent, and as mount
ell police are to be found at relatively
short distances in practically every part
of the United States, the suggestion
seems very logical. and undoubtedly
when the present war situation has
passed away the leading railroads win
foresee the distinct advantages and ia
cilities provided by installing radio-tele-
graphic sets on all trains passing
through unsettled parts of the country.
Not only will the radio prove excep-
tionally valuable in many such instanc-
