PHANTOM SHIPPERS
WORK IS ARTISTIC
BRITISH MARKSMEN FINALLY
PUT END TO GERMAN
SHARPSHOOTER

All sorts of things are happening
in the great war, not only in con-
nection with the actual fighting
over the details of which, of course,
a veil must often be cast-but on
the human side. In the Wide World,
under the title Of "Strange Stories
of the War" appears a selection
of some of these little incidents
contributed by readers in connec-
ton with a competition which is
interesting every Britisher now
fighting in the trenches. Here is
one out of the half-dozen published.
AT a certain place on the British
front a solitary German sniper
caused scores Of casualties among
our men, says the writer, and try
as they would our scouts failed to
locate him. Once three men of the
Worcesters vent out one night to
seek him; they never returned.
Later, three men of the Manches-
ters departed on the same errand;
they We're also reported missing"
Another battalion commander, at
the mans earnest request, allowed
his best scout to go out single
handed, but nothing more was heard
of him.
At last. when the phantom sni-
per" had become quite famous, a
keen-eyed sentry reported that he
thought he had an idea where Mr..
Boche was lurking, and permission
was sought for a party to go out
and bag him.
No" said the C. 0. We've
lost quite enough good men on that
game; we'll make a proper job of
him this time"
The rifle-flashes that the obser-
want sentry had detected were
watched for, the position surveyed
by the airmen, and other measures
taken hat need not be described.
Then, at an agreed-upon hour. a
gun of a British battery fired one
shell, and n only. Later on. Is
nothing had been heard Of Mr..
SHIPPER in the interval, a reconnoit-
ering party went over to investi-
gate.
They found that the solitary shell
had registered a magnificent bull
right in the center of the sniper's
little eyrie, dug in the side of a
shell-crater in mo Mans Land"
and most cunningly concealed. Mr..
Sniper al blown to pieces, but
they discovered his rifle and his
store of food and ammunition. Some
distance off they also located the
bodies of the three Worcesters, the
Tins of the concealed marksman's
skill.

TOM ROBINSON HAS
MINE NEAR EUREKA
FORMER GOLDFIELD MAN Sc
CURES OPTION ON GOOD
LOOKING GROUND

Thomas Robinson, a former Eu-
reka resident, now president of the
San Francisco Mining Exchange,
was an arrival in Eureka by Tues
days train. Mr.. Robinson and asso-
ciates recently took a bond on the
Holly group of mines on Adams
Hill, and his present visit here was
to commence active development
work on the properties. This proper
ty is fully equipped with machinery,
buildings, etc, to start work at once.
but it was found that owing to the
inability of obtaining a supply of
distillate in Eureka at this time
the commencement of work would
have to be postponed.
Mr.. Robinson stated that it had
been planned to sink from the pre-
sem workings on the 400 level an
additional 100 feet and to commence
other development work in the
mine. Arrangements for securing
next week have been about COM
pleted. and it is now thought the
new work of development on the
Holly properties can be started in
about 10 days.
Mr.. Robinson was accompanied
to Eureka by Knight S. Jordan, a
mining engineer Of Salt Lake con-
nected with the Knight mining in
terests of Utah, who during his
several days visit here has been
looking owe the district with a
view of interesting his company in
some of the mineral showings and
possibilities of the camp.-Eureka

Graphite as a Lubricant.

can. IL not II lubricant, but al aid to

ties of the shaft and bearing and pro

get this result only a very small guam
tity of graphite Is necessary, and IL
too much is applied it simply collects

to use graphite successfully Is To mix

not to apply 1t continuously. for when
the above mentioned polished surface

before requiring renewal.

LARGER FORCE
At ROCHESTER
MANY PROPERTIES ARE BEING
THOROUGHLY EXPLORED
IN DISTRICT

The north drift on the Adams
vein on the SOO-foot level of tho
Rochester mine has been advancing
in a high grade of ore during the
past week. On the same level the
drift on the East vein is also de-
veloping a fine body of ore. These
two veins are rapidly adding to the
reserve of available ore.
The Adams vein was recently
opened up in the west cross-cut on
drift shows five feet Of good ore.
Stopping is in progress on the $50.
500 and 1OO-foot levels. The 900
foot level is contributing its share
as the drift advances north and
values are increasing as work pro-
crosses.
The water from the springs for
the new mill of the Rochester Com
bined Mines company is now at the
mill site flowing through the pipes.
Foundations for the mill will be
started Immediately.
The shaft timbering on the Happy
Jack property is now completed and
the shaft is in full operation.
A second drift on the Shepherd
No. l Tunnel South was begun dur
ing the week, the face of the drift
assaying sixteen ounces across the
entire distance. This drift Is 305
feet further south than the first
drift which was started some months
ago.
The Maynaugh Tunnel is now In
335 feet and expects to hit the big
dyke in another so feet. The last
assays obtained were fourteen oun-
ces which is very encouraging It
this point.
A new tunnel was started on the
Bacchus claim the fore part of this
week and expects to hit the ore
within the next thirty feet. All
other working places are looking
exceptionally good.
The main drift on the 16OO-foot
level of the Seven Troughs Coali-
ton was advanced a distance of 100
feet during the past week and is
nov advancing at the rate of 16
feet a day. This drift is on a
strong vein which so far carries no
values but indications are most
favorable. Ore on this vein will
probably be opened within $50 or
800 feet.
The usual amount of good ore
was taken out on the 700-foot level
of the Seven Trough Mining COM
pany during the week. The drift
on the bottom of the winze at the
S0O-foot level has encountered a
black dyke which has always been
found on the hanging wall on the
upper levels, and no doubt will be
able to report a finding of an
ore-shoot next week.-Reno Gazette.

Eat Less; Do More.

A fat nation is no good. Lean ma
lions accomplish things. We should
eat less and think more. have smaller
girth and larger chests, less on the hip
and more on the thorax. have fewer
potatoes at dinner and more books
after dinner, more exercise and less
chewing. A strong person can subsist
on a little oatmeal and philosophy and
outwalk. outtalk. outthink, and In ev-
cry way Guido the person who travels
the long route from soup to nuts and
goes to sleep afterward as an anaconda
full of sheep or monkeys might. Life
Is a lean affair Of hungry appetites and
ambitions. Then they stimulate to
earnest performance. The regeneration
of the American nation begins at the
dinner table. We need stoutness In
soul not soutness In fat. Eat less and
do more. Grow more above the neck
and less below the stomach.-Chicago

Heather Shrines.

After months spent in idolatrous
lands l have been unable to see much
real worship in heather shrines. The
educated worship with their tongues
In their cheeks and the ignorant with

amount of real worship thai exists in
heather temples is very small.

old man or woman, almost blind, will
enter the temple and rub the eyes of
a wooden god and then rub his wv in
the hope that eternal darkness may
not close IN on his affrighted soul. In
some places Buddhist services are AS
digniied, as well attended and as help

will be too late.
Its the personal appeal after
all, that counts. If your boy was
wounded every dollar you have in

him in Red Cross hands. Ten mil

Der some kinsman or some close
friend will undoubtedly be summon
ed to the colors. Who can a
when in the next year or two, these
kinsmen or close friends will have
dire need for Red Cross aid?
To make the Red Cross effective
and ready for any emergency it is
imperative that the nation rally
Immediately to this appeal for the
Red Cross fund. And it should be
a sincere response-not apologize
not perfunctory. Every loyal
citizen should give and give 'thtil
it hurts

fighting boys is now-not when 1t

that we can spare-and some that
we cannot spare-to the lads who
are going across the water to do
