TO STOP GERMANS
Washington Opinion Is That
Flanders Drive VIII Soon
Be Halted

Washington, April 12.--Germany will
not push her way through to Calais.
That was the view of military STRAIT
egists today, based on the brief develop
merits of the Flanders drive, coupled
with experience of the past.
While still making progress and in
such tactical position to continue it
for time, the German is meeting more
stubborl resistance than in his pound
ing for Amiens. There are some eviden-
ces, too, that his punch is weakened.
The thought here is that he may run

Planning Water Storage

The long-continued spell of dry
weather is causing speculation
among farmers of the Smith and
Mason valleys regarding the advisa-
bility of water storage, and 1t Is
the general opinion that some action
should be taken. 1t has been sug-
gested that the waters of a few of
the many lakes at the ~headwaters of
both forks of the Walker river be
stored and it is pointed out that If
one lake were to be damned each
a sufficient quantity would soon
be stored to insure against dry sea-
sons such as the present. The cost
of storing 10000 acre feet of water
is estimated at 81 per acre.

Mystery Solved

That Paul A. Pinet, a jeweler, lost
his life in the International hotel fire
in Virginia City on the night Of
Dec. IL, 1914, is believed to have
been established with the finding Of
human bones by lei engaged in
clearing away the ruins. Close to
the bones were found a pair Of
jewelers. pliers, tending to complete
the evidence. A mystery has always
attended the disappearance Of Pinet,
as everyone else In the hotel at the
time of the fire was accounted for
and some persons claimed they saw
him on the street after the fire.
Nothing was ever done toward
clearing away the ruins until a short
time ago, when a San Francisco
firm started to take old iron from
the site. which necessitated the &C.
moval of much of the debris.

PICTURE ORE
At WILLOW CREEK

Information comes from the Will
low Creek District of Nye county,
that Henry Goodman, who has been
at the mines of the Willow Creek
company for the past few weeks, is
greatly enthused at the manner in
which the recently reported strike
Of rich gold ore is developing. The
strike was made several weeks ago,
since which time several hundred
pounds of the best ore, running
several dollars to the pound, has
been shipped. According to the last
report the phenomenal values con-
tinue with development, and the
probabilities are growing stronger
every day that the property will
soon become noted for its high
grade production.
The first class ore is very rich in
free gold, some of it running several
thousand dollars to the ton, while
it is epected that the second grade
Will u close around per
ton. Besides this there is a con-
siderable tonnage of third grade. or
milling ore developed, which would
almost pay to ship by express. The
company recently erected a small
milling plant. which will soon be in
operation.
The property is opened by a shaft
to the depth of $50 feet, with con-
siderable other developments. The
formation is porphyry and lime.
Yesterday John Engelke and
Charles Osterlund, who are inter-
ested in the company with Mr..
Goodman, left for the property

POTASH SALTS ARE Discovered
IN DIXIE VALLEY DRY MARSH

notices of the salt works still exists
and bears the date Of 1884.
The attractive feature of this de-
posit is the fact that 1t is in soluble
form and can be easily leached and
then ev~aporated, thus eliminating the
sand and earth and converting the
potash into a form that a easily be
transported. In its present state the
muck may not be worth more than
$40 per ton, but after going through
the process mentioned above it
would be worth about 5000 per ton.
Potash was only worth about 80
cents a unit three years ago, but the
great war demand, and the impossi-
bility of securing any potash from
Germany, has advanced the price
until it is now quoted at about $3.50
a unit.
The fact that a sample from the
Dixie Valley marsh taken 16 inches
from the surface showed LA per
cent potash. while at a depth Of
four feet 1t made 2.02, naturally ere
ates considerable interest in what
the analysis would be IL deposits
should be found beneath the rock
salt, for that is where the rich de-
posits are supposed to exist. At
Searles Lake It only runs o trifle
over three per cent, while at Beesey
Lake 5.94 per cent is secured, which
is the highest percentage of potash
found in this country. The Solvay
process, discovered comparatively a
few years ago made possible the
working of this character of potash
deposits.-Fallon Eagle.

%CON,-NEvADA MILL
May RESUME WORK
WORK IN NINE HAS BEEN SUS-
PENDED FOR PRES
ENT

That the Consolidated Nevada
Utah mill will be placed in commits
sion a~ain soon is the inference gain
ed from the following statement to
the Record by H. r. Van Wagenen,
president of the Amalgamated Phoebe
company, who has been a visitor In
this city this week.
There is nothing in the zinc mar
ket that is an encouragement to re-
open operations in the lower levels
of No. l shaft. Items of expense,
such as coal, fuel oil, timber, pow
der and freight, have continued to
advance, rather than regress, so that
the margin between the price OF
product and cost of securing 1t has
only diminished Therefore, there is
no hope in the immediate future for
the resumption of company opera
tons.
"The Greenwood lease Is in a very
hopeful state and, If the process for
treating the very complex ore is a
success, there will be a substantial
mining operation at the property for
a long period Of time. Meanwhile.
the mining of the h~igh-grade nav
crack makes things interesting and
is a substantial financial help. !
"A lease on this same Greenwood
fissure, where it crosses into COM
pany ground. is to be given to Tom
McCormac, and we hope he will haze
the same degree of success as at
tended his conscientious efforts when
he was leasing at Groom.
1T is not impossible that the mn'
will be used, or one shift a day to
start with, in the treatment of a GER
lin portion of the ore now developed
the Greenwood lease. This aefiv-
ity may be At no remote date."-Pi-
