LEASE IS SECURED
ON BULLION MINES
GROUND THAT PRODUCED
RICH ORE
A deal was completed yesterday

A deal was completed yesterday
and $1,000 in cash was paid to
James Burke as the first payment on
a bond and lease on some Bullion
property, and it is said that the
plans of the new people call for the
employment of at least 60 men
within the next few weeks.
The property was taken over by
w. A. SALISBURY and associates, who
have been here from Oakland, Cal,
for more than a week, examining
the property. They have been out
on the grounds and have satisfied
themselves fully on the amount OF
the ore deposits and their payment
of a big cash sum demonstrates
their good intentions.
The ground taken over includes
a number of claims owned by diff
ferent parties, the main property be-
ing owned by James Burke and as
s~ociates, on which is Il tunnel fully
1000 feet long, and which has cut a
number of ore deposits.

81 NEVER SLEEP"
SAYS RECRUITER
MAN IN HURRY TO ENLIST EX-
AHMED AFTER MID
NIGHT

"
A recent statement from the war
department to recruiting officers
says that 100000 men are needed
at once to form the 81 new regi-
ments recently organized and urges
the officers to work all night if
necessary to obtain the men.
George Webb, the local recruit
ing officer. searched all Saturday
without even unearthing a prospect.
A few days ago he announced his
motto as, II Never Sleep" and in
accordance with the motto he de-
cided not to go to sleep until he
found a recruit. Midnight came
and still no recruit, but at Is
minutes past midnight he was re-
warded when Sam J. King, employ
ed a: the Consolidated mill, walk
ed up to him, said he wanted to
join either the engineering corps
or the cavalry and that unless he
could Join either at once and leave
Goldfield on Sunday morning he
would not enlist. He wanted quick
action.
Webb took him at his word, fill
ed out the necessary papers, had
put him to bed at 1:15, enlisted in
the cavalry. Before going to sleep
King made the recruiting officer
solemnly promise that he would
not allow him to oversleep in the
morning and that he would surely
see that he caught the train. This
the officer did and the man who
wanted to enlist in a hurry is now
somewhere in San Francisco"
Examination by Webb disclosed
that King approached physical per-
lection and the officer believes that
when he sees a German soldier the
German had better get him quick,
because the officer found that he
has a mania for doing things in
a hurry.
For the second time Nevada has
filled her monthly quota for the
army and enlisted far more than
requested by the war department.
During May recruiting stations in
this state sent 259 men to the
coast and it is thought that at
least rs Nevada men enlisted at
other stations. Nevada's monthly
quota is 24S men and the heavy
e~nlistments, withdrawing men eli
gible for military service under
selective CONSUMPTION, will, it is
thought, cut down considerably the
number of men conscripted in the
state.

MEN TO
MILL OLD TA|l|NGS
VALUABLE PROPERTY IN
NORTHERN ELKO

C. M. Fagenbush and ]. B. Fan
chini, mining men of Goldfield, ar
rived in town yesterday from the
northern part of the county, where
they have been examining the tail
ings in the Cornucopia district. Last
season this section of the county
was prospected by men from Gold
field, who located the tailings of
the old mills at ~Cornucopia, and
the trip of these two men has been
make to check up the report of
those who have gone before.
In an interview yesterday they
stated that they found conditions
even better than they were led to
believe, and that they will recon-
mill on the ground to treat the old
tailings. They estimate that there
are at least 10000 tons, which will
carry values in silver from IS to
rs per ton, which can De recovered
by The cyanide process, and as soon
IS the material can be shipped from
Son Francisco, work on the mill
will be started.
Their experience in travelling
across the country from Goldfield
to Elko was strenuous to say the
least, as it has been storming on
them practically since they left
Goldfield. One of the drawbacks
of this country, they say, is a lack
Of s%ignboards, and in several in
stances they took the wrong road
and lost much time in retracing
their steps.

we'll marked with signs at every
crCssroad, and suggest that the
commissioners of Elko county would
be doing the travellers a great
favor if they would have a few
signs posted at the important cross
roads.-Elko Free Press.

LUN|NG DISTRICT
HAS NEW STRIKES
BIG CLAIMS ARE MADE FOR
PROPERTY BY ITS
BOOSTERS

Great strikes that promise great
prosperity for the state of Nevada
have been made in the Luning cop
per mining district within the last
few days, according to G.. P. Nc
Colin, vice president of the New
Champion Copper Mining company,
who returned to Reno last night
with Colonel John C. Scuse, chief
engineer of the company, after an
inspection tour of five days in the
district.
More than three millions of dol
lars worth of copper sulphide has
been opened in the Champion mines
and similar developments have been
reported in the Kirchen and other
mines of the district. Luning, in
the opinion of McColm. is destined
to take it's place among the great
copper mining districts of the
country.
High-class bodies of ore have
been struck simultaneously in the
various mines of the district, he re-
ports, during the last few weeks.
The supplies of sulphide of copper
at a 220-foot level, now in sight,
are easily worth more than the or
iginal New Champion mine was ev-
er imagined to be worth. The metal
is of the best grade and in view of
the high prices that 10 prevail for
copper hopes are expressed that Ne
vada, which has long been regard
ed as a foremost gold-producing
state, will come into it's own as a
producer of copper.
Miners and operators in the dis
trict are highly elated over the
turn in events during the last few
days and many look for the Lun-
ing district to become as generally
known as the silver and gold pro-
ducing district in the state.
McColm would not predict nat
the Luning district would be as pro-
ductive as the Butte and Arizona
mines, but said simply that the peo-
pie of the country would hear more
from Luning.-Reno Journal.

Veteran A Poet

The following is poem written by
Joseph Geary, one Of Middletown's vet
eran citizens. He is II years old, hav-
ing been born September 6, 1910. Mr..
Geary is a Civil War veteran and took
part in all the battles of that war.
Many are the thrilling experiences
which he tells.
Mr.. Geary is loyal supporter of Mr.
Wilson The title of his poem is "Pa-
triotism."
Ye German men of Germany,
And your administration, too,
Consider well what you're about,
And what you're going to do.
You gained the day with Belgium,
But I'm sure you'll rule the day
When you meet the sons of American
blood
In battles proud array.
You monkeyed with our commerce,
You say our ships shant trade,
Oh, before we'll suffer such disgrace
from any German minion,
Well join and all united stand and
all as one, say union.
