ARO-CONTESTEO
DRAFT CASE ENDS
PRESIDENT DENIES APPEAL OF
WILLIAM LAMPE OF
DOUGLAS COUNTY

The records of seven cases in
which the Nevada district exemp-
ton board denied claims for exemp-
ton and held men for military SER
vice under the provisions of the
.selective service laws and in which
appeals we're taken to the president
have been returned to the adjutant
general with notice that the deci-
sion of the district board has been
affirmed in each case.
One of the men who failed to Sc
cure exemption was William Henry
Lampe, a Douglas county registrant
whose case attracted statewide at
tention at the time it was before
the district board. The records in
the case consist of 50 documents,
most of them affidavits in favor of
or or against granting exemption.
One of the affidavits in support of
the exemption claim was by Rev.
Mr.. Menzel, pastor of the Lutheran
church, at Gardnerville. with which
the Lampe family is affiliated.

WORK PROGRESSING
IN COPPER BASIN
LANDER COUNTY PROPERTY Is
NOW BEING WELL PROS
PECTED

Systematic and progressive devel-
opment and exploration work is be-
ing carried on under the manage
ment of F. c. Handy on the Western
Mines company's property in Copper
Basin,
The property, better known as the
Buckingham group, just beyond the
famous Copper Queen, one of the
Basins productive mines, was taken
over by l.. c. McMurtry and F. c.
Handy, last February. Weather
conditions did not permit the plan
of the new company to mature until
last spring. The work in the nature
of exploration has been carried Of
since that time.

drift, now approximately 14O feet,
is in good ore. A contract to u
100 feet to further develop the vein
has been let. Should the explora-
ton work now going on show up as

ADVOCATE WORK
FOR PRISONERS
FARM LABOR COMMITTEE IN
FAVOR OF IMPORTING
CHINESE

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, Dec 20
prisoners of var would be "valu-
able additions to the supply of farm
labor; Chinese labor should be i'm
ported for the duration of the con-
flict; wages should be standardized
and the whole situation should be
surveyed in advance of the 1918
crops, the state committee on farm
labor announced here through it's
chairman, A. l.. Wisker.
War prisoners, the report points
out, have to be held in idleness
with food shipped from here, where
as if put to work on this side of
the Atlantic they might become good
citizens at the termination of the
struggle.
1T is recommended that compe-
tent authority make a careful study
of the question:" the report says,
land determine if it is practical and
desirable to bring such prisoners
of war to America for employment
in agricultural industries, thus les
sening the drain upon the nations
exports and at the same time bring
ing in men who would be valuable
additions to the supply of farm
labor during the continuance of the
war and who would be eligible and
desirable as permanent additions to
our population at it's close"
Farmers are found to be ''as bit
terly opposed as any other class to
the introduction of laborers, re-
CARELESS of nationality, who cannot
by assimilation become part Of the
good c~itizenery of the nation" pro-
vided such Introduction means per-
manent residence at a sacrifice of
American standards of living, but
in the present crisis 1.-The importa-
ton of labor of Oriental or other
is demanded, and the
Chinese are pronounced the best fit
ted for the work to be done.
They should be deported at the
close of the war, and their labor
while here should be so supervised
as not to reduce below a fair and
reasonable point wages paid Amer
labor, giving due ~considera-
ion to the maintenance OF the
American standard of living"

SPEAKERS TELL
OF "SlACKERS"
FOUR-MINUTE MEN TAKE HARD
KNOCK AT
THEM

J.. M. Fenwick spoke last night
at the Lyric theater on "Slackers"
and J.. G. Thompson spoke Saturday
night at the Exchange theater on
the same subject, both being -four
minute" speeches.
Fenwick told of the manner in
which American soldiers in France
were digging into their pockets to
buy toys and clothing for the chill
dren over there and that Americans
should be proud OF them, particular
ly their wives, mothers and sweet
hearts.
"And," he said, would you feel
proud If your boy were a Stacker?
And yet, there are still some slack
ers among us. The United States
still numbers among her citizens
some who are not yet Americans at
heart"
But l am sure We are beginning
to realize that those ranks are be-
ing decimated every day by the re-
sistless power of sentiment. On
the firing line of decent American
citizenship, we are steadily hurting
at their hearts great facts and are
making good, clean hits"
"Kaiseritis, with all it's attending
coplications of treachery and trea-
son and horror, is rapidly yielding
to American treatment"
J.. G. Thompson classified the
slickers and treated them in turn,
taking first the Conscientious OBJ
jector, who he styled "a real Ger
man atrocity, a fellow who said he
did not start the wal and let it go
at that, and who wished he could
do something to die for his con-
science" The speaker said he hop
ed the objector would have his
wish.
The socialist he described as "a
professional bad sport, a man who
thought that everybody with over
50 should be in Jail, who looked as
though he needed to be busted and
have his hair cut"
Other brands Of slackers were
discussed by the speaker and it Is
said that the material for his speech
was gained through local observa-
ton and through serving on the
legal advisory board.

ROCHESTER HAS
ONE LESS CAT
COMBINED co. SUSPENDS WORK
AFTER MUCH LOUD
BOOSTING

The Rochester Combined Mines
company, at Packard, has closed
down after a short but spectacular
existence, says the Mining and FL
nancial Press. Last December the
company bought and optioned about
80 claims lying between Packard
and Rochester, upon which practi-
cally no development work had been
done, and Immediately began the
erection of a 35O-ton mill.
The mill Is now nearly completed
at a cost of over 100000, but prac-
tically no ore has been developed
in the mine. M. r. Thurston, 10Y
in charge of the Kanrohat mine near
Round Mountain, recently took
charge of the Combined company,
but resigned as soon as he recog-
nized the true conditions. The
crew of 100 men was discharged
and the mill left in charge of a
Waterman.
There Is little chance of the mill
ever being completed. Some ore han
been opened on the extension of the
Packard orebody, near the Happy
Jack shaft, and intelligent work
might develop enough to justify a
50-ton mill. The company also
located a townsite, selling lots to
its employees and to business men,
many Of whom erected substantial
cottages in the belief that the town
would be a permanent one.
The stock was floated by Louis
A. Friedman, president of the Ro-
chester Mines company. The latter
company continues to produce about
200 IONS per day, most of which
comes from the 500 and 9OO-foot
levels. Excellent ore is reported to
have been developed by a winze
sunk to the 1100-foot level.
The Nevada Packard mill IS hand
ling slightly more than 100 tons
daily Of ore running about SIS per
ton. Grading for the mill addition
is nearly completed and erection of
vats will start within a few days.
On the surface ore, where the sill
yer was contained in syrargyrite,
the mill made the remarkable eX-
traction of "a to 95 per cent, but
when the milling of sulphide ore
began the extraction dropped to
S7.5 per cent. Tests have shown
that the reduced extraction was due
to the period of agitation being too
short.

SAY MANGANESE
DEPOSIT LARGE
OF EXCELLENT
GRADE

AS the development work pro-
crosses in u%ncovering the mammoth
manganese field which was recently
discovered Is miles east of this city,
now under a three years lease to
Gillice, Mccoy and Connors, promi-
tent mining men, many of whom ex-
amined the property in the last two
weeks, agree that it is undoubtedly
one Of the largest deposits of its
kind anywhere in the west.
Assurances of the high grade of
the ore were received Saturday,
when returns from the first carload
shipped to the Miami Products COM
pany at Chicago placed it's contents
at Al per cent metallic manganese,
with but II per CEN of silica, which,
according to mining authorities, is a
high return for manganese ore. The
ore was sampled by the Salt Lake
sampler, and returns are made on
those figures. Three additional cars
were shipped this week to Pennsyl-
vania shelters, making four in all.
That the deposit is practically un-
limited is borne out by an estimate
made by Fred A. Hale, well-known
mining man of Goodsprings, who
made an examination of the deposits
this week. With but preliminary
work Of u%ncovering the bed well
under way, he estimated there were
$4,000 tons of ore in sight. No
depth figure has yet been found.
Twenty men are now at work on
the property and a has been
busy making a suitable road for the
ore teams, which are now hauling
the ore.-Clark County Review.

Warden COnfiscates Ducks

Some days ago, while c.. w.
Grover, state fish and game warden
was on a train at Franktown, two
men boarded it, each carrying Is
ducks. One of them had what ap-
peared to be a roll of bedding,
which was checked as baggage. The
warden later found that this con
tanned 81 ducks and that a suit
case the men had contained 20
more. One of the men, Fred Sci
fert, a former game warden, plead
ed guilty to having the ducks and
was fined $50. The ducks are in
cold storage at Reno and will be
distributed among the poor.

CHAPTER DANCE
TO Be HUMMER
EXPECTED TO OUTSHINE EVERY
THING OF KIND PREVI-
OUSLY HELD

The committee now arranging
for the big Red Cross benefit dance
to be given on New Years eve
met yesterday afternoon and the
most interesting feature of the ses-
sion was that the committee decided
enough support vas being given at
this early date to justify a much
more elaborate affair than was at
first planned. Members stated that
fraternal orders were supporting
the dance to the limit and this was
bound to lead to an attendance be-
yond first expectations. ~warranting
as extensive a program in connection
with the dance as would be possible
to arrange.
This was decided and it was
agreed hat it would be necessary to
arrange to have the entire Elks'
building turned over to the chapter
in order to provide enough features
to entertain the great crowd that is
now assured.
1t was decided to incorporate in
the plans a cabaret on the main
floor, with entertainers and other
features on a big scale and it is be-
lieved that this, with other plans of
the committee, will assure the crowd
the most extensive entertainment
ever arranged for the Elks' build
ing.
Having finances satisfactorily ar
ranged for, the committee has decid-
ed to spare little expense in efforts
to make the dance n that will
go down in Goldfield social-life his
tory. as we'll as result in a large sum
being raised for the local chapter.
