OPEN RICH ORE
IN WHITE CAPS
IN OPENING DEEPER
LEVELS

The outstanding feature of news
from the White Caps mine for the
past week is in relation to the re-
markable developments on the So
foot level, where a short time ago
the big east ore-shoot developed on
the 435-foot level was encountered
on its downward extension. When
the full significance of this sensa-
tional discovery is fully understood
by the public it is only reasonable
to expect a tremendous new impulse
to general activities in the whole
camp of Manhattan.
1t is now demonstrated beyond the
slightest doubt that the ore measures
of the Manhattan district come from
great depth, and untold possibilities
in the development of numerous big
mines await only the patience, skill,
confidence and courage that have
characterized the work of the White
Caps management.
The cross-cut on the 55O-foot
level, which entered the ore some
two weeks ago, has been prosecuted
with amazing results since the ore
was first encountered. The ore,
as has been previously explained,
was cut from the west side at a point
approximately in the middle of the
ore-shoot. over Is feet from the
foot wall side.
While 1t was known the richest
ore in the level above was found
on the foot wall side, the manage
mkent saw fit to continue the work
straight ahead for SO or so feet,
preparatory to prosecuting both
ways to foot and hanging walls. The
work of drifting in the ore-shoot
has now been prosecuted for a dis
lance of about 60 feet. and only re-
Gently the drift was turned in the
direction of the foot wall.
The assays from the point where
the ore was first encountered have
not only maintained a very high gen.
eral average. but have increased
gradually from about $24 per ton
across the full face of the drift
where the ore was first cut to about
$35 per ton for the same width over
GO feet distant from the point of dis
covery.-Tonopah Miner.

LAST GROUP TO
ENTRA|N NOV. 6
EIGHT MEN WILL BE SENT TO
COMPLETE COUNTY'S
QUOTA

The exemption board has receiv-
ed notice from the adjutant general
to send to American Lake on Nov.
6 enough men to complete the
county quota of 80. In addition to
this, official notice was received
tnat three men of those already sent
have been rejected at the canton
ment. The names of the men re-
jected were not stated.
Thirty-three have already been
cent and Scratching will leave Mon
day morning, making "a who will
have been sent on the quota of 80.
This would leave five to be SEN on
Nov. g., but the three reflections will
make necessary the sending of eight
to complete the quota. The exemp-
ton board has not yet announced
the anne of these eight, as some of
them are not here now and one has
left without leaving an address.
Although this man will become a
deserter If he fails to appear after
his name has been posted at the
court house, an effort will be made
to reach him with a letter. He is
not we'll known here and left some
time ago, according to information
in the hands of the board.
1t is not believed that more than
four men will leave Goldfield on
Nov. G., the remainder of the con-
tlngent leaving from other places.
The federal district exemption
board, to which all appeals are sub
mitted, has been in session at Reno
and 1t is expected that the greater
part of its work will be completed
next week. Washoe and Humboldt
counties have been late in securing
their quotas and have caused de-
lay in making up the final draft
totals. 1t is known, however, that
Nevada now has several hundred
g ready to answer the call to
the colors, in excess of the states
assigned quota.

ANOTHER SOLDIER
IS SENT INTO
NEW ARMY
COUNTl'S ONLY COLORED BOY
IN DRAFT LEAVES FOR
CAMP

Goldfield crowds have seer de-
parting soldiers leave in numerous
different manners, some solemn.
some joyous, some over-anxious to
go into the army and others not so
anxious, and the crowd hat was at
the depot this morning when Ed
Schutching, the county's only col
ored boy to enter the national army,
left saw the departure of one of the
happiest and most demonstrative of
all.
Before Ed went on the train he
sang THE Star Spangled Banner"
to the accompaniment of the band
and, taking the folds of the French
flag in his arms, he kissed it and
answered the congratulations of the
French residents by shouting to
them viva la France" He prom
ised to bring them back a spiked
helmet, STIMULATING that 1t be spiked
because only the higher-ups in the
German army wear that kind.
He took with him about $50 in
cash. the result of a collection taken
at the depot, and everything that is
usually given the boys when they
leave, including the customary
lunch from Mrs. Corning, containing
among all the other good things
plenty of chicken.
Last night he was entertained at
a big banquet given in his honor by
colored residents and many of them
went with him to the depot this
morning to see him off, including his
trainers, who have worked with him
for two weeks. fitting him for serv-
ice. This morning he said he was in
the best condition of his life as a re-
suit of this training which he said
had been so strenuous that military
training would be play for him.
The turnout of citizens was con-
sidered large in view of the fact that
the morning was cold and also that
only one boy was leaving. Many
women went to the depot and there
was a long line of automobiles which
was short one Ford owing to the fact
that it's owner worked over Lizzie"
from 6 o'clock until 7 endeavoring
to get her into line, but failed to
get the old girl warmed up suffi-
GENTLY to leave the garage under her
own steam. The owners wife con
soled him by telling him that he
meant we'll. He said, 81 was never
so mad in all my life" This same
man is always making life miserable
for his friends by extolling the vir-
tues of a Ford.

SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE HURT
SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AUTO
MOBILE ACCIDENT NEAR
MINDEN

Judge J.. A. Saunders, associate
Justice of the Nevada supreme
court, was seriously injured in an
automobile accident Tuesday night
on the road between Genoa and Min
den. Others who were with him
escaped serious injury, although
they were pinned under the heavy
car in which they we're driving. The
party was on the return trip after
a Liberty loan meeting at Genoa,
to which the members had been
called as speakers.
Federal Judge e. S. Harrington
drove the machine, and beside Judge
Saunders, had as passengers Fred
Knoblock. former sheriff of Ormsby
county, and Walter Brockliss, dis
tlict attorney of Douglas county.
The accident occurred on a soft
sandy stretch of road near Genoa,
the car going over the edge OF the
road at a short turn, and landing
with -four wheels in the air.
All four members of the party
we're pinned underneath the heavy
machine and it was only with con
siderable difficulty that they were
able to gain their liberty.
Judge Saunders, who was the only
ore injured beyond bad bruises, sus-
tanned a broken right shoulder, a
broken right arm, a badly wrenched
left arm, and possible internal in
juIies. His condition is reported
quite serious. This morning two
Reno physicians we're summoned to
has aid.-Reno Gazette.

YELLOW PINE HAS
PASSED DIVIDEND
DIRECTORS TAKE ACTION
THROUGH FEAR OF
HIGH TAXES

In common with many of the big
mining companies of the country, the
Yellow Pine directors have decided
to postpone the further payment of
dividends until December. This ac-
the GunGs of the compan and main
tain the reserve fund Of $150,O00
unimpaired until such time as the
uncertainty regarding the war ex-
cess profits tax has been cleared up.
Under the bill as finally uassed.
the amount required from the Vel
lev Pine * e ~rArently considerably
in excess Of al former estimates.
There is great uncertainty as to
what the requirement will finally be.
The application of the law to mining
companies is m~anifestly unfair and
so burdensome that it will have the
result probably of greatly reducing
the output of the metal mines if it
remains in it's present form. 1t is
believed that when congress recon-
venes in December the act will be
amended in important features re-
speeding mining companies.
However this may be, the Yellow
Pine directors, in pursuance of the
conservative policy which they have
always maintained, are determined
to keep the company in a safe fl
nancial condition, rather than on
tinue to pay the regular dividends
when confronted with an uncertain
future such as now appears in view.
The production OF the Yellow
Pine for October is keeping pace
with former months. The develop
ments in all portions of the mine
are most satisfactory. On the 900
north drift there are indications
that they are approaching a new
mineralized zone not before opened
in any part of the mine. On the
700 level additional ore is being
constantly opened, and it may be
c~onservatively stated that the ore
are greater than at any
previous time in the history of the
Yellow Pine.-Goodsprings Gazette.

Work of harvesting a four-acre
match of beets at the Reno race
track has been started and despite
high rent, big salaries and eXpen-
SEES which the ordinary farmer would
not have to meet. the Reno CONNER
cial club, under whose direction
the crop was planted, will market
the beets at a profit. The plot was
rented at from $35 to $40 an acre
and SO tons have been produced,
which will be shipped to the factory
at Fallen. The beet tops will be
bought by the state university for
silage. 1t is believed h expert
ment has demonstrated that beets

budget of last spring, which
amounted to $445,06O. This
amount was raised by a rate OF ST.

Recently the city of Elko reduced
its rate from $1.25 to so cents. This
and the general reduction of the
state and county rate will bring the
general tax rate for the city down

CYANIDE SUPPLY
WILL Be AMPLE
VELOPING SUPPLY In
UNITED STATES

BY January / the newly developed
cyanide u of this country
will have attained their full develop
ment and any serious shortage of
that commodity is unlikely accord
ing to the reports which have just
come in to the Nevada Mine Opera
tors Association, which has made
strenuous efforts to secure a cyanide
supply since the former source was
cut off by the war with Germany.
Factories and new sources which
we're started on the first of July
have been pushed towards a rapid
completion, with the result that the
announcement now that they
will be in full operation, turning
out great quantities of the chemical
by the beginning of the new year.
According to the estimates made
by the local office of the association,
Nevada used annually 3,400, 900
pounds of cyanide in the operations
Of the milling plants, and would
have been very seriously handicap
ped had 1t been impossible to de-
velop other sources of supply.
Under direction of the association
experiments are being conducted to
determine sources of cyanide in the
western states. No definite infor-
nation as to the location of these
sources or the state of the expert
ments could be given out by the
Observation-Disclosures.

Reports from the mines this week
continue of a most encouraging
character, with interest centering at
the Union Con. mine, where an ex-
cellent grade of milling ore is being
extracted in the course OF develop
ment work. A south drift has been
started on two feet of quartz on the
$500 level and favorable assays are
teing secured in the advance. This
is a new piece of worK and OF I'M
usual Importance. On the 24Oo
level of the mine, three faces OF
ore are being advanced on a good
srade of milling ore, north n
south from the northeast cross
cut. Some ore has also been ex-
tracted from development work on
the $500 level. Regular shipments
are being maintained to the Next
