D. A.. TURNER
CALLED To
COLORS "
PHYSICIAN FOR NINE OPERA
TORS SUMMONED TO RE-
PORT FOR SERVICE

A meeting of the Goldfield Mine
Operators Association was held on
Tuesday evening to take action in
connection with the departure of
DR.. d. A. Turner, official surgeon
for the association, who has volun-
teered his services to the govern
ment and who has been notified
by Surgeon General Gorgas of the
United States army to report at
Fort Riley, Kan, on July Is.
Resolutions we're adopted unani-
mously by the members of the as
ISOLATION present, granting to DR..
Turner an indefinite leave of alb
sence, with authority to appoint an
assistant to act in his place, and
expressing the fullest recognition
of DR.. Turner's services to the
association and to the town gener-
ally. 1t was pointed out that DR..
Turner was leaving a well-estab-
lished practice and a lucrative
position to accept that of a subal-
tern officer, with small pay, as an
at VI pdIilOtIC uuty dhu Nv huOIh
bers, by resolution, expressed the
highest appreciation of his action.
AS his assistant, and to act as
his substitute during his absence,
DR.. Turner has appointed DR..
Robert r. Craig, who has arrived
in Goldfield to assume his duties
and who will occupy DR.. Turner's
offices in the NJ. & M. building.
DR.. Craig, who has had wide exper-
fence in emergency surgery and in
the conduct of mine hospitals, is
we'll known in Nevada and has
occupied for a considerable period
the position of mine surgeon at
Aurora, thus being directly in line
for the appointment to relieve DR..
Turner.
DR.. Turner enters the United
States army with the rank of first
lieutenant, having passed the ex-
animation for that rank some time
ago, and will be stationed for the
present at Fort Riley, Kan, where
troops are being prepared for early
transport to the front in France.
No intimation has been given DR..
Turner as to how soon he will be
sent to the front, but it is known
that the war department is pi
pairing to send a large number
physicians in the near future. Fort
Riley is a regular army post and
one of the principal cavalry head
quarters of the country.
DR.. Turner was born at Phoebe.
Nevada, and came to Goldfield in
June, 1904, and has practiced his
profession here since that time.
His early training in the cattle
country will stand him in good
stead in the cavalry service, as the
sage brush is short in France.

LA GRAVE LOSES IN RENO

The Pat Bradley-Antone La

night was stopped in the tenth and
last round by Referee Spider Kelly
to save La Grave from further
punishment. The contest was even
at the end of the ninth, La Grave
having done well in infighting, but
in the tenth he made the mistake
of attempting to fight at long

ALL FAR WEST
IS PROSPEROUS
RESERVE BANK STATEMENT
SHOWS ALL LINES OF
BUSINESS GOOD

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 8.
According to the monthly bull
letin, to be issued tomorrow by
eral reserve bank of San Francisco.
trade conditions in the twelfth fed
eral reserve district are active and
increases r shown generally in
bank deposits, clearing and build
ing permits. The report reads as
follows.
Maximum production and mini
mum necessary consumption of
food-stuffs Is a sound war princi-
pie. At least in production this
district is putting forth a splendid
effort. The fall and winter were
unfavorable for grain, and the
spring was colo and backward, but,
in spite of this and because of the
spurs Of patriotism the acreage of
spring planting, amounted to 80
per cent more than last year in
Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
The government report. June 1, in
dicates a yield in this district of
wheat, barley and oats in excess of
that of last year.
In California the deficiency in
precipitation has been offset by
cool weather during early sum-
mer which has been ideal for many
crops. Hay, which was generally
short last year, will show a greater
tonnage this year. Alfalfa will
exceed 100000 tons against s.
100000 last year.
Growers of d%eciduous fruits have
been greatly relieved by the an
nouncement that such fruits will
be classed as necessary food and
not as a luxury, assuring greater
demand, better prices and more
cars for moving the crops. A gen.
orally larger yield is indicated.
The crop of navel oranges, dur
ing the season just closed, has been
one of the best in years, aggre-
eating 27,153 cars as compared
with 22,235 cars last year. Ship
ments of Valencia oranges are just
beginning and likewise promise to
be larger.
Shipbuilding is probably the
most active industry on this coast.
Seattle shipyards have $4,000, 900
of contracts while those of Port
land and Tacoma have as much
more. The contracts of the Puget
Sound district are believed to ex-
coed those of the San Francisco
district.
In California during May, petro-
leum production averaged 1,OO4
barrels per day and shipments
305,5OO barrels, resulting in a re-
duction of stored stocks of 1925
318 barrels. The increasing
shortage Of crude oil is rapidly
creating a critical fuel situation
on this coast. 1t is reported that
the Southern Pacific railroad, US
ing crude oil as fuel for it's loco
motives, is unable to supply it's
requirements and that by Septem-
Der 20 per cent of it's motive
power will be out of commission
unless new supplies of crude oil
become available.
Not in 10 years has the Pacific
northwest lumber market been so
active and remunerative as at the
present time. Demand has been
such that many large producers
are now absolutely out of the mar
ket. Lumber production is near
the maximum possible.
Food production in this district
promises to be Unexpectedly large
and materially greater than SEEM
ed probable a month ago, although
not of record volume.
Trade is active. Bank deposits.
clearings and building permits all
show increases.
