WOUNDED RECEIVE
GOOD CARE IN
ENGLAND
ALL COMFORTS IN
HOSPITALS

LONDON, July 20.-The Ameri-
can soldiers who have arrived at
London hospitals in the last few
days are a cheerful and optimistic
lot. They are grouped mostly in
four or five metropolitan hospitals
and as far as possible have been
put together in wards where they
can provide plenty of companionship
for one another.
The Americans include both sick
and wounded. The wounded ere
largely from the Fourth of July
SHOW" by the Americans and Aus
tralians south of the Somme.
THE Yanks and the Aussies get
along fine together" said Sergeant
Torrey of Orlean, N. Y, to the Asso-
ciated Press, "and the combination
is too much for Mr.. Hun. The Ger
mans are forced to admit that it is
all up when they see the Americans
and Australians coming after them"
The ward in which Sergeant Tor
rey and a dozen other Americans
we're being treated also contains 10
Australians. Most of these men al
ready are convalescent and spent
the day swapping yarns on the sun
lit porch.
American women visit the hospi-
tails daily and distribute American
newspapers and magazines, cigaret-
ties, chocolates and other delicacies
from the stores of the American Red
Cross. Every American m WISH
tor at the hospitals Wednesday car
ried a supply of American flags, and
before the day was over every bed
occupied by an American soldier
had a silk flag floating proudly
over it.
Virtually all the Americans in
London hospitals are being cared
for by American doctors.

TEUTON UNIFORM is
EMPLOYED IN SWINDLE

AMSTERDAM, July 20.-An ok
traordinary instance of Teutonic
servility where uniforms are O n
cerned has occurred at Essen. A
party of three armed individuals,
two in soldiers and one in a police
mans uniform, made a round of all
the schools of the town, represent
ing themselves to be authorized to
collect the children's satchels. They
paid a trifle in each case for the
leather straps attached to them, and
carried away their booty. After a
few days, the whole affair was dis
covered to be a swindle.
How it is possible that this could
have been carried on for days with
out any one having the courage to
challenge their authority remains
one of the mysteries of this war;"
says the Rhenish Westphalian Ga
zette.

OPENING COPPER NINE
SOUTH OF GOLCONDA

w. T. Roberts, who was in town
Monday from the Golconda district,
stated that he is opening what has
all the appearance of a big copper
mine, about seven miles south OF
the Adelaide property and near what
is known as Gregg's canyon. He
has been at work on his claim for a
number of months and in the differ
emit workings a good grade of ore is
exposed.
From all indications the vein is a
big one and extends along its strike
for a considerable distance.
Dad Roberts, as he is more
Familiarity known among his many
friends, is a persistent prospector
and knows ore when he sees 1t. In
speaking of his property, he said
that cit has the earmarks of a big

YOUNG Miner
SERIOUSLY
INJURED
ARTHUR O'DONNELL VICTIM OF
ACCIDENT IN SPEARHEAD
NINE

Arthur O'Donnell, 10 years of age.
employed in the Spearhead mine,
was caught between the shaft tim
bers and the cage floor at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon as he was go
ing off shift and seriously injured.
He was taken to the Mine Opera
tors hospital, where this morning
DR.. Craig said his condition was con
siderably improved, although still
serious. Five weeks ago young
O'Donnell was married to Miss Neva
Bradley.
O'Donnell was the last one to APP
proach the cage and gave the sig
nal to hoist. After he had given the
signal he stepped back and pulled
out the switch for the lights. AS
he pulled the switch the cage start
ed and in his hurry, he fell onto it
when it was at the height of his
waist. Lying on his face and at
tempting to get aboard, with his
legs hanging, he was smashed
against the timbers with the full
force of a 6O-horsepower hoist after
the cage had gained momentum for
10 feet. That he was ever taken
from the mine alive is considered re-
markable.
O'Donnell's head was not injured.
but he sustained serious injuries to
his spine and to internal organs of
the chest and abdomen. His parents
are expected to arrive here tomor-
row morning from Oakland, Cal. His
wife is now in Goldfield.
This was the first serious accident
to occur in the Spearhead mine and,
according to men who were on the
cage, it happened so quickly that
nothing could be done to prevent
1t.

RESCUE DRIVING
IN PAY DEPOSITS
DEEP WORKINGS AT TONOPAH
OPENING GOOD MILL
PRODUCT

The annual meeting of the Res
cue-Eula was held in San Francisco
last Monday and while details con-
corning it are meager, it is under
stood from authentic sources that
there was little, If any, change in
the personnel of the directorate of
of the company, except that J. w.
Dorsey, attorney for the company,
was made one of the directors. Mr.
Dorsey is we'll known in Nevada,
having lived in Elko a number of
years and was associated with Sem
ator Chas. B. Henderson in the
practice of law.
The detailed report of mining OPP
erations for the week indicates that
all the working faces have been car
ried ahead at a good rate of speed,
and that some have reached their
detectives.
On the 970-foot level the drift
continues to make excellent head
way against a five-foot face of good
mill ore. While the values are
rather spotted and irregular, and a
great variance shown in the sam
pies taken each day, the average of
all the ore broken down in this
face is very good indeed.
The developments on the 1850
level are most gratifying, and the
downward extension of the vein on
the S70-foot level, which was inter-
sected about a week ago by the foot
wall cross-cut, is showing up splen-
didly as the drift on the 1850 pro-
ceeds against a face of ore four feet
in width and carrying values consid-
erably higher than those contained
in the ore on the level above. A
winze is being sunk from the 1850
to the 1100-foot level, and as it
goes down it carries with it a two
foot face of ore of good milling
grade. This winze is being sunk on
the footwall side of the vein.
On the 1100-foot level a connec-
ton has been effected with the
winze that was put down from the
500 to the 1100-foot level some
years ago. At the anne time the
winze was sunk a drift vas run
from the bottom Of it, and now that
the connection has been made and
the ventilation much improved,
raises will be put up from this drift
to tap the ore on the 1850 and $40
levels, which will be hoisted through
the winze, thereby eliminating the
long tramming necessary before the
junction was made with the Wine.

TO
MEXICAN LABOR
OR REGISTRATION Is
REQUIRED

Ell PASO, Tex, July 23.-Mexican
laborers crossing from. Mexico at
this port are being notified that they
are not required to register If they
come to the United States to work
on farms, in mines or other useful
occupations. The registration law
has kept hundreds of Mexicans from
coming to the United States to seek
work as they believe the act of regis
tering drafted them into the army.
When the selective draft call was
made for young men who had ac-
Quired majority since the registra-
ton of 1917, many Mexicans fled
to Mexico. No explanation was
made on the posters in Spanish or
dering all young men to register.
stating that aliens would not be re-
quired to serve in the army. An
effort Is now being made to have
the aliens passports accepted as
evidence that they are not required
to register. Once this is explained
to the Mexicans, immigration will
be stimulated as the head tax and
literacy tests have already been re-
moved to encourage immigration of
this class of labor.

Army requirements Changed

A change has been made in height
and weight regulations for draft
mum of SO inches has been lowered
registrants. The former height mini
to 60 inches and a drop of from
116 to 10 pounds has been made in
weight regulations. 1t is believed
by army officials that this change
will bring into the army many men
who are physically qualified except
as to height and weight and who
will make good soldiers.

Big Shovel Dumps On Auto

The Minden-Bridgeport automobile
stage a few days ago came rear be-
ing demolished with a loss of life
when a steam shovel working on a
ditch line in Hoye canyon dumped
a ton of boulders down a hillside
as the car was passing. The ava
lanche hit the front part of the car,
ripped off the radiator and put the
engine out of commission. Had the
a been a few feet farther along
the road the result would have been
serious. The driver of the stage
was given the signal that the road
was clear, but through a misunder-
standing, the shovel IA dumped
when the auto was in the path of
the rocks.

OPAL MINING
Is A SUCCESS

A new company, known as the
Rainbow Ridge Mining company, has
taken over a number of opal claims
near Thousand creek, in the north
western part of the county, and is
working the same for the valuable
stones. 1t is said that a number of
men are working the property and
that beautiful gems are being ex-
traced.
The Thousand creek field has
long been noted for the exquisite
opals found there, some of which,
it is said are equal to the famous
Hungarian opals. The stones are of
all colors and hues, ranging from the
milk and water white opals to the
beautiful green, blue. red, yellow
and the ~variegated varieties all
showing exquisite colors and fire.
In fact, some of the varieties show
red, green and yellow fire. Opals
as black as coal with most beauti-
full scintillating fire are found.
The opals are extracted in a
crude way from the matrix and
shipped to New York, where they
are cut into valuable gems.-Hum-

OIL CAMOUFLAGE
FOR DIVER BOATS
NEW TRICK OF HUN PIRATE Is
TURNED AGAINST
HIM

LONDON, July 23.-Tricky Ger
man U-boat commanders have con-
ceived a new plan designed to de-
ceive crews of the allied submarine
destroyers in the game of hide and
seek in European waters. When a
depth bomb is discharged and does
not cripple or destroy the German
under-sea boat, as some times hap
pens, a quantity of oil is released
by some device of the submarine
and quickly rises to the waters
surface.
The hope of the German U-boat
captain is that the commander of the
destroyer will see the oil, believe
that the submarine has been wreck
ed and drop no more depth charges.
Meantime, the German is endeavor-
ing to escape.
American and British commanders
of d%estroyers and submarine chasers
discovered the scheme of the Ger
mans some time ago and since then
have been dropping depth bombs in
greater numbers than previously,
using the oil as a guide to the gen.
eral location of their target.
"Oil camouflage'' the American
and British navy men call this latest
German submarine trick.

PRODUCED BY
SHALE PLANT
At RENO
SUCCESS OF NEW PRO-
CESS

Oil from Nevada shale is being
produced today by the Crane-Boyle
shale oil process at the university.
The plant, which has been under
construction for several months, was
turned over for the first time last
Wednesday and the first shale was
run through the machine on Satur-
day.
With no changing whatever it pro-
duced oil from the shale and &C
cording to Alex M. Boyle, the engi-
neer who took the Crane shale oil
process and developed the mechan-
ical features of it, the plant is
tirely successful.
The Crane Shale Oil company, or
ganized in Reno nearly a veal ago
took over the Crane process and
employed Mr.. Boyle to build a ma
chine to treat the shale. He began
work last November and after maxi
ing his plans had them patented in
Washington for the Crane company.
The machine is a radical departure
from anything ever attempted in the
way of taking oil from shale and
combines many patented features
that are said by Boyle and others
interested to be of extreme value in
making the process more rapid than
any devised.
In the old Scotch process heat was
applied directly to the shale and
the oil was driven off in the form
of gas and then condensed under
water.
In the Crane process the shale is
first placed in an upright cylinder
in which a big screw, nearly the
size of the cylinder, operates on a
perpendicular shaft. Superheated
steam is injected into the p%ulveriz-
ed shale through holes in the CYL
inder in the shaft of the screw and
the shale is kept moving up and
down in this cylinder for some time
and much of the oil, in the form of
gas, driven off into a water con-
denser.
From this cylinder the shale is
then dropped down into a horizontal
cylinder, where another screw is OPP
Grating, and 1t is baked here for
some time with superheated steam.
When all the oil is driven off the
rotation OF the screws is reversed
and the residue cleared out of the
cylinders.
In a commercial plant a number
of units will be placed in series and
the shale will be moved from N
to another, making the process
continuous.
Though only an experimental
plant, the machine at the university
is said to be producing a good
grade of oil and extracting the
greater part of the oil from the
shale. 1t will be a few days before
the actual test will show how eff
GENTLY the plant is working.
The controlling interest in the
Crane ShaIe Oil company was pur-
chased a few months g by H. G..
Humphrey, Jay H. Clemens and
Charles Stevenson.
The company has some extensive
shale land holdings at Watson,
Utah, and under present plans ex-
poets to erect a big plant at Wat
son to produce oil. The plant at the
university will be maintained as an
experimental and testing plant for
the testing of Nevada shale.-Ga-
