This, then, Is our conception OF the
great struggle in which we are en-

every scene and every act OF the su-

peoples actually engaged, but many
others also who suffer under mastery
but cannot act; peoples or many races
and I'm every part OF the world-the
people Of stricken Russia still. among

posed to them, masters OF many arm

of governments who speak no common
purpose but only selfish ambitions or
their own by which none can pront
but themselves, and whose peoples
are fuel in their hands: governments
which fear their people and yet are
for the time their sovereign lords, max

hay crop is further advanced this
year than it has been for several
years and cutting will start early"
said Leidy. practically every
ranch will have a big crop and in

5. CAREFUL
TO GUARD
TROOPS
SURROUNDED WITH GREAT
SECRECY

LONDON, June 17.-No greater
care and secrecy could attend the
shipment of royal jewels than is
observed in shipping American
troops to France. To safeguard his
boys Uncle Sam takes every pos
sible precaution, from the time they
embark until the transport has
reached its destination. He leaves
no loophole for the Vaccinations
of enemy agents.
Usually, as a result of this elabo-
rate protective system, the trip
from "An Atlantic Port" to the
French or English port, as the case
may be, is remarkably uneventful.
All elements of danger have been
so carefully anticipated hat the
risk is reduced % the lowest mini
mum.
Until the troops and civilian pas
sengers have reached the pier they
do not know the name of their
SHIP. IL Is OHly d HuulDeI " tuciu.
On the regular troopships it is
difficult for a civilian, unless he is
engaged in war work, to secure a
passage. Those who manage to do
so are subjected to close scrutiny,
and their credentials and luggage
are thoroughly examined.
Embarkation often begins several
days before the transport sails. All
good-byes have been said before the
troops start for the ship. No rela-
tive or friends may accompany
them to the pier. This rule applies
to the officers as we'll as to the
men.
No restriction is placed on writ
ing, and bags are kept open for
soldiers mail up to almost the
hour of sailing. This privilege
gives many a chance to get off ne
elected letters and postcards. al
though these, as a matter of pre-
caution, are not put into the mails
until the ship has passed through
the submarine ION

WAR GRENADE
IS EXHIBITED

There is now on display in a To-
cal saloon a Mills grenade, the first
ever seen here. This grenade is the
weapon generally adopted by the
armies of the United States and the
allies for making good Germans.
1t is small enough to fit convenient
ly into the hand and evidently would
be a terrible weapon when hurled by
a person accustomed to throwing a
baseball, for, while the motion used
in throwing in grenade practice is
different from that used in baseball.
the grenade could be placed with
great accuracy by a ball player. The
grenade on display here is not load
ed. but the firing mechanism and
safety pin are interesting. 1t was
brought to Goldfield from a Chica-
go factory.

JEFFERSON CANYON.
MINES PROSPECTING
KANROHAT PROPERTY BEING
OPERATED ON PROFIT
ABLE SCALE

A Round Mountain mining man,
who is in Tonopah as a witness in
the Kruger case, stated yesterday,
in speaking of operations in the
northern camp, that the Round
Mountain Mining company is hav-
ing a very poor veal for placer
work. He said last winter being
mild and the spring cold, caused
what snow there was in the hills
to melt so slowly that the water
sank into the sand before reaching
the creeks.
There are about 80 leasers busy
at Round Mountain, and several of
them are making good cleanups.
The Fairview mine and the Daisy
mill are working to full capacity.
Tests have recently been made
in connection with the proposed
dams in Jefferson canyon, which the
Round Mountain Mining company
plans to build. Five or six drill
holes were put down, ranging from
ID to 45 feet, but in n OF two
places bedrock vas not reached.
Jefferson canyon is looking good
as far as quantities of mill ore
is concerned, and there seems to be
no question about the value of the
ore or the amount in sight to make
a good producing mine of the
Kanrohat, being operated by the
Brady company.
New concentrating plates have
just been installed in the mill and
these will aid much in extracting
the values from the ore.
The Sewers property in Jeffer-
son canyon was recently sampled
by the Kirchen interests, and there
appears to be a good chance of that
property being taken over, as the
values. are considered very o
aging, and it is said there is a large
tonnage of mill ore available. -
A good showing of copper has
been found on the Cash Rock group
of claims, which are 10 being de-
veloped in an effort to ascertain the
extent and value of the lode. =

Is

The Bullshead Mining company.
which recently purchased the old
Jasper Harrell property in the
Spruce Mountain district, is now
shipping ore regularly to the Utah
smelters. The old workings are
being opened up and a large guam
tity of rich silver ore has been
found that apparently vas left
by the Harrell people to be worked
at their convenience. A remark
able thing about the property is
that it was we'll prospected and the
orebodies proven by the Harrell
people and then closed by them be-
fore the largest part of the ore was
taken out.
In one tunnel a large amount of
manganese-silver ore has been
found. Assays have shown that
there is manganese present in ex-
cess of 40 per cent. The manage
ment is now looking for a suitable
market for this ore.
The company is employing more
men as the workings are cleaned
cut and will probably have a large
force working by next summer

To Rebuild Burned Hotel

The Eldorado hotel at Winnie
mucca, which was destroyed by fire
early in March, will be rebuilt, &C
cording to an announcement by
George Wingfield, president of the
First National bank of Winnemuc-
ca. The hotel is to be rebuilt by
Wingfield, the other stockholders
being a number of prominent bust
ness men of Humboldt county.
During the next three months con-
struction will be started on a four
story building containing 103 rooms,
with a well-equipped office, lobby,
bar and dining room. 1t is planned
to make the building one of the
finest in the state.

STILL PRODUCE
At G@00DSPR|NGS
SUBSTANTIAL OUTPUT FROM
MINES DESPITE PARTIAL
EMBARGO

While the shipments of ore for
May were smaller than usual be-
cause of the embargo, they are large
enough to give the outsider the in
formation that there is a fair
amount of activity in operation,
despite the depression which the
mining industry all over the coun-
try is undergoing.
Outside of the Yellow Pine Min
ing company, the biggest shipments
were made by AREN'T and Perkins
who shipped five cars of mixed
ore. The .Goodsprings-Anchor ship
ped two cars, n of zinc and one
lead and the Sultan also shipped
two cars, IL cars of lead concen-
trates and half a car of zinc con-
centrates. Two cars of copper were
shipped by the Boss Gold Mining
company. One car each was the
shipment made by each of the fol-
lowing: Bullion Mining company,
Bright & Egger, Walter Darlington,
G~oodsprings Mining company, Har-
rington & Cox, w. o. McCuen; and
R. B. Saunders, Ewing & Ewing
and Robinson & Downing made
half car shipments.
The principal object in the lead
zinc camps at this time is to keep
the home fires burning" f~igurative-
ly speaking, until a depleted reserve
of the metals or increased demand
results in a price which will be an
incentive to further production. -

P|OCHE COMPANY IS
USING BIG TRACTOR
HEAVIEST MACHINE OF KIND In
NEVADA NOW AT
WORK

The new big caterpillar tractor
recently purchased in the east by
w. H. Russell arrived in Eureka
by Mondays train and shortly after
was in working condition and was
run up town. On Tuesday it was
given a tryout around town with
two big ore wagons as trailers.
Just to demonstrate it's power
and climbing abilities, Mr.. Russell
piled the wagons as full of men
and boys as would ride and took
the party for a joyride up and over
the steep hill west of town on
which the fire water tank stands.
This is a 33 1-3 per cent grade, but
the tractor took it in second gear
without hesitating or a stop.
Mr.. Russell and Joe Minoletti
left with the tractor and three big
trail wagons for Hamilton Wednes-
day morning and plan to bring
back about 16 ons of ore on the
first trip, and this tonnage Will be
gradually increased to % tons as
the tractor limbers up and the
roads become in better condition
for tractor travel.
This is said to be the heaN lest
tractor SO far brought into Nevada
and weighs 10000 pounds. 1t is
equipped with electric lights, but
is not a self-starter, and it takes a
pretty husky mar to crank it. This
tractor is built on entirely new
lines from other caterpillar types
in that its tread and rollers run
without oil and escape collecting
sand and the quick cutting out and
renewing of these parts.
The tractor looks and acts as
il it would stand up and do the
work, and it's steady operation on
the haul between Hamilton and
Eureka will be watched with inter-
est by all who have outside trans
portation problems Ito solve. -

PLATINUM IS MOST
VALUABLE OF
METALS
ALL BELLIGERENT NATIONS
SEEKING TO PROCURE
RARE METAL

WASHINGTON, d. c., June IS
New chapters in the of
platinum, once thrown away as
waste but now the most sought
after metal in the world, have
been written since the a began.
Nations are fighting for it. Adven-
turers are risking their lives to
obtain it. Women spies and diplo-
matte agents are playing the game
of international intrigue to control
even an ounce of the noble metal"
as it is known to biologists, so
valuable has it become and so
necessary to the prosecution of the
world war.
The United States government
recently took a hand in the game
by communicating all unworked
platinum in this country. setting
therefore a price of $105 an ounce,
as compared with $22.S5 ten years
ago. Even this action, however,
has not obtained sufficient of the
metal for war purposes.
Officials who failed to heed the
warnings of platinum experts at
the beginning of the war are Won
dering how they can retrieve their
error in not vigorously meeting
the national necessity by using
every legitimate meal to obtain
platinum. For, the total amount
of known platinum throughout the
world is only 1000. 600 ounces, of
which about one-forth is in the
United States. Much of hat is
virtually irreclaimable through use
in dental work and personal jewelry,
and the output, since h Russian
debacle, has fallen to a fraction of
what it was in time of peace.
1t is the last reason which is
giving officials SO much concern.
Russia has been the source of
most Of the worlds platinum and,
in 1913, was credited with a pro-
QuctlOn OF z0U,UUU Troy ouHCeS,

Wales and Tasmania 1,275, United
States (Californa and Oregon be-
ing almost the only producing
states) only 4S3, Borneo and SUI
martra 200 and Canada 80.
The German invasion of Russia
gave the enemy the opportunity of
replenishing his stocks of platinum,
to the detriment of the allies. Min
ing in Russia virtually has ceased
row, even if the metal could be
shipped out of the country, and
the world looks to Colombia for
platinum Suggestions for a gov
eminent monopoly of platinum have
been advanced in the Colombian
congress. Whatever action is TAX
