together in hurry and turned off aft
er the manner Of small autos. But he
soon discovered that the steel would
not be available in the required guam
titles for quick emergency work. So
he substituted wood for steel and SUBJ
mitted his plan to P. A. s. Franklin
and ]. P. Morgan & Co. They both
told him to hurry to Washington and
tell the shipping board about it. He
did that and found that Eustis was
there just ahead of him with the same
idea. Then the two mining engineers
got together, under the supervision of
the shipping board, to perfect the de-
tails Of a project at which marine en-
gineers had scoffed.
Capacity Of, $500 Tons.
The approved outcome is model,
from which the thousand craft will be
built, for steam vessel 200 feet over
all, 46 feet beam and 26 feet depth.
Each vessel will have a cargo capacity
for $500 tons and will draw twelve
feet when light.
The power will be from steam en-
gines with old fashioned water tube
boilers, using crude oil for fuel and
with some burning device for reducing
to minimum the amount of visible
smoke. The ordinary cruising speed
will be ten knots an hour, with an
emergency capacity in a danger zone
Of twelve or thirteen knots. In addi-
ton to her engine for motive power
each boat will be equipped with eight
hosting engines.
Under emergency conditions and un-
der the stress Of great need for sup
plies on the other side each of these
vessels should be able to make ten
round trips year between American
and English or French ports. So at
that rate : the entire feet would be
able to convey to our allies 100000
tons of supplies in a twelvemonth,
which does not suggest victory for
Germany by means Of the starvation
method.
TO that must be added what the mer-
chant ships now afoat can do and the
capacity of the new steel vessels of
moderate size which the shipping
board hopes to turn out at the rate of
10000 tons month as soon as plan,
now under way, of readjusting the
steel supply can be put into effect.
This plan, roughly. is to divert some of

CROSS HAS
MEN IN RUSSIA
HOSPITAL SUPPLIES SENT AND
HEADQUARTERS ARE
ESTABLISHED

A P%etrograd dispatch of the Asso-
ciated Press gives an interesting
account of the American Red Cross
Commissions activities in Russia
and a brief interview with DR..
Frank Billings, head of the Com
mission. The dispatch says of the
Commission
Already they have established a
big working headquarters in the
Hotel D'Europe and a supply house
in Moscow. They also have met
and conferred with heads of the
government, from whom they re-
port most hearty cooperation. For
the technical skill and proficiency
of Russian physicians and surgeons
DR.. Billings expressed great admir-
alton, while the hospitals. he said,
were run as we'll as any in the
world" He especially commended
the inventive genius of the Russian
surgeons. The members of the COM
mission expect to visit Moscow dur
ing the coming week.
The mission has been most cor
daily received by the provisional
government said DR.. Billings. we
now are in active cooperation
with the sanitary department of the
army and with the Russian Red
Cross and r about to get into
touch with the Zemstvos and unions,
those organizations comprising the
three great relief associations of the
Russian people.
"'While these organizations have
exhausted every effort in the manu-
facture of supplies and are doing
excellent work otherwise, we found
the armies in great need of medical
and surgical supplies, which r vi
tally necessary for the are of the
wounded. Tetanus a%ntitoxin, pow
dered opium and many other things
are not to be had in adequate guam
titles in Russia. We are studying
these requirements and with the CO.
operation of the Red Cross at Wash
ington the most vital of these needs
will be met at once"
In response to a recent request
from DR.. Billings, the American Red
Cross is sending a large quantity of
medical and surgical supplies to
meet the urgent needs of the Rus
sian military hospitals. This sup
plements an earlier consignment
which was forwarded for immediate
use when the commission sailed to
investigate the Russian situation.
The commission carried with it
100000 worth of such material, in
Guiding among other supplies more
than SO microscopes and $4,000
slides, 1900 clinical thermometers,
2S8 operating knives. $4,000
lengths of catgut, LOO ice caps,
175,O o morphine sulphate tablets
and 100000 antiseptic tablets.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY
BIG MINERAL
PRODUCER
GROWTH OF INDUSTRY AND PRO-
DUCTION SHOWN IN
FIGURES

With a mineral production for 1916
valued at s1,0OS,792, Humboldt
county maintained it's record of
growth as an important metal-pro-
ducing county, according to advance
figures on gold, silver, copper, lead
and recoverable zinc for this state,
just issued by Victor c. Heikes of
the United States geological survey.
Humboldt county was third in rank
among the silver-producing counties.
Among the important showings of
the new figure is that which credits
this county with the second highest
number of producing mines. While
some of the counties, such as White
Pine and Nye, have been heavy pro-
ducers for years, and have produced
larger amounts than the figures for
this county, the mines here are COM
paratively new, and properties that
in 1915 were mere prospects are now
recorded as producing mines, pre-
pared to greatly increase the mineral
production from Humboldt county
in future years.
Humboldt county's mines in 1916
produced 109,6S3 tons of ore, from
which 19,24.42 ounces of gold, $685.
424 ounces of silver, 135,1S0 pounds
of copper and 1874 pounds of lead
were obtained.
The prices used in obtaining the
value of the products were $2O.671S
per ounce for gold, and .65S per
ounce for silver, .264 for copper,
.069 for lead and .134 per pound for
zinc. With these prices, which were
averages for the year, Nevada's total
production came to $49,946,424
compared with $34,551,436 for the
previous year.
Production of both gold and silver
fell off slightly, there being 42S,-
9O4.21 ounces Of gold and 1887
262 ounces of silver in 1916, as
against 51,6S3.01 ounces of silver
shown for 1915. One of the remark
able increases of production for the
state is that in the amount of copper,
jumping from 6S,636,370 pounds in
1915 to 1O5,116,S13 pounds in 1916,
The increase in lead production, too,
was from 1~6,637,277 to 25,637,72S,
While this particular county is
credited with opening a large num-
Der of producing mines, Nye county
with 100 leading by five, there were
20 less producing mines recorded for
1916 than for the year before, there
being but 779 producing this year..
Esmeralda and Nye counties led In
gold production, while Nye and
Churchill counties were the only two
counties ahead of this county in the
production of silver. Humboldt

State Budget Submitted
In a preliminary estimate of sta

In a preliminary estimate of state
expenditures from Dec. 1, 1917, to
Dec. l, 1918, Governor Boyle has
submitted a budget for considera-
ton the state board of equalization
that calls for $~1,57O,9S9. To meet
this expenditure $1,124,3O2 must
be raised by taxation, the remaind-
err of the sam being madS up from
the following sources: $31 900
balance in the treasury, $178,937
from disbursable educational funds
and $236,750 from ven sour
ces other than taxation. To raise
this sum under the legal tax rate
of the state a valuation of $780,
730,722 must be made, making an
allowance of $5,5O0,0O0 for losses
and delinquency. 1t is considered
probable that the assessed valua-
ton of sheep will be raised to $40
q head.

State Employees Subscribing

A few weeks ago various state
officers constituted themselves a
committee to collect funds for Red
Cross work. They mailed postcards
asking all employees to contribute
one-half of one per cent of their
salaries to the fund and they now
announce that 95 per cent of the
card; have been returned with a
promise to subscribe to the fund.
Similar cards will now be sent to
state firms and corporations asking
that they urge their employees to
contribute. In this way it is hop
ed to systematic the collection of
Red Cross funds and it is believed
that $4,000 per month a be
given for work of the Red Cross in
the state.

SChnitZer Changes Name

Claiming that the name Schnitzer
is originally German and expressing
the wish, since he is an American
born citizen to pear a name that is
American, William H. SchnitZer,
well-known attorney of Reno, has
been granted permission to change
his name to William H.. Sheldon.
His petition to change his name sets
forth that he wishes to throw off
all identification with Germany and
to have his children bear a name
that will not be considered German
in any way. The name Sheldon,
according to the petition, is the
name of an old college professor at
the college of the City of New York
under whom Schmitzer studied.

Report on Automobiles

The report Of the committee on
automobiles made to the state board
of equalization shows that, although
6261 machines have been listed in
Nevada this year, only 4073, or 65
per cent, have been listed on the as
sessment rolls. 1t is estimated that
machines representing a paluation of
$S0S,079 have not been assessed. 1t
bile licenses have been issued since
the assessors completed their reports.

The Nevada Cooperative Mines
company is developing property of
substantial promise in the Gold
Mountain district. about SO miles
south of Goldfield and IL miles
from Hornsilver. Free-milling gold
ore. of good mill grade, has been
blocked out in the property in suf-
ficient quantity to fully justify the
installation of milling equipment
and it is regarded as certain that
this will be done at no distant date.
Another discovery has been made
lately in virgin territory. owned by
