PARIS. July %. The growing
ineffectiveness of the submarine
warfare is indicated by official fig
Tres just published by the French
government, relating to the French
traffic in the Mediterranean.
According to these figures, no
less than 1000 vessels, chiefly mer-
chantmen, with a total tonnage OF
$780, 900, crossed the Mediterran-
can between Feb. "a and April /,
under escort. The average number
of ships under way, coming to or
going away from France, was 240.
The submarine attacks neverthe-
less had so diminished in force that
only one in four resulted in dam
ages to the ships. The result has
been that the water traffic has
steadily increased.

W|NNEMUCCA AGAIN
STRICKEN BY FIRE
HUMBOLDT COUNTY COURT
HOUSE BURNED WITH
LOSS OF $780, 900

At 6 o'clock Saturday evening the
court house in Winnemucca was dis
covered on fire. In spite of every
effort the building was practically
destroyed and will be a total loss.
The building, which was erected at
a lost of 100000 was considered
as near fire proof as possible. The
conditions of the records cannot be
told until the pile coOls off. I'm
doubtedly many valuable records
have been destroyed. Many of the
records are in safes, but the inten-
sity of the fire may have ruined the
documents. At the time of the
court house fire it a discovered
that an attempt had been made to
set fire to the power house. This
has caused a general uprising in
Winnemucca.
Two suspects have been placed in
safe. keeping pending investigation.
A round up of suspects is being
made in the effort to locate the
incendiary. That the fire was in
cendiary in origin is the belief of
the officers.-Carson News.

Labor Trouble at Ely

Fully $500 men in the Ely dis
trict are out of work as a result of
a strike of 200 shopmen in the
shops Of the Nevada Northern rail-
road. The shopmen are asking for
a 2O-per cent increase in wages and
all traffic on the railroad, with the
exception of one passenger and mail
train, has been discontinued. This
resulted in the mill and mines clos
ing, but the fires in the smelter are
being kept burning and some re-
pair work is being done. The Ne
vada Northern operates the road
running between McGill and Ruth
through Ely. 1t is said the men
will return to work pending inves-
tigatoin by an arbitration hoard.

field Consolidated Mines company
and now general manager for the
Red Hill Florence and Wall Street
mining companies, and Marvin Ar
mold, justice of the peace of Gold
field township, have filed nomina-

county commissioners. Arnold is a
democrat, now holding the office of
justice of the peace.
1t had been reported during the
past few days that in conversation
with persons interested in her can
didacy, Mrs. Rose G. Malone, candi-
date for the democratic nomination
for recorder and auditor, has stated
that if elected she would run the
office without the assistance of a
deputy. When asked regarding the
rumor this morning by a Tribune

the rumor and said this is her inten-
ton and hat if elected she will do
so.

START OPERATIONS ON
BIG POTASH PROPERTY

Operations were begun this week
on the big potash property at the
mouth of Coal Canyon, a few miles
northeast of Lovelock, and the first
carload of the rock will be sent for
ward to a reduction works in a very
short time, according to a state
ment by H. H. Hunter, Jr., who
has been handling the property,
says the Lovelock Review-Miner.
c. E. Fitch, representing the Dia-
mond Potash company, which has
purchased the claims, arrived from
the east this week and already has
put men to work making camp. The
haul to the Kodak siding from the
mine is very short and down hill.
The original discovery. was made
about a year ago by j. c. Smith,
Herman Marker, Karl Offers and
Ed Hunter, after many mining mel
had tried the big reef for all kinds
of mineral and turned it down, not
s~uspecting it's potash content.

Two Drowned in Walker Lake

Jack Downey and Joe Strang,
ranch hands, were drowned a few
days ago in Walker lake, at a point
near Dutch creek. Downey threw
a stick of powder into the lake to
kill fish and, seeing several on the
surface after the explosion, he wad-
ed out to get them. The waves
were running high and Downey
was in distress in deep water.
Strang went to the aid of Downey
an d getting into deep water and be-
ing unable to swim he also went
under. Mrs. G. L.. Spencer, who
with her husband witnessed the &C
cident, narrowly escaped being
drowned when she attempted to save
the two men by wading into deep
water with a long pole. Her hus-
band rushed in and grabbed her.
Johnny Miller and Joe Laiolo of
Hawthorne later recovered the bod
les by diving for them.

Moapa Valley Raising Wheat

Of following advice of the food ad-
ministration was remarkable, as the

wheat. The most astonishing thing
is the heavy yields from some fields,
one 100-acre field yielding 70 bush

INJURED IN
ACTION
WILLIAM IT. CUNNINGHAM WAS
SEVERELY WOUNDED
JULY 2

William T. Cunningham, son OF
w. w. Cunningham and brother of
Mrs. j. l.. Woodward of Goldfisld,
was seriously injured in action with
the American forces in France on
July 2, according to a telegram re-
ceived here last night from the war
department. July 1 and 2 were the
dates on which American forces
stormed and captured the village of
Vaux west of Chateau Thierry and
took 500 prisoners
The telegram was received by
Marius Durand, in the absence OF
Cunningham's father on a ranch
near Ida. 1t said: Deeply re-
greet t. inform o that it is ofi-
cially reported that Private William
T. Cunningham was severely wound
ed in action July g."
Cunningham is the first Esmer-
aida county casualty in the war. He
left here Sept. % with a draft con-
tingent for Camp Lewis, after hav-
ing asked to go with the first con-
tingent and having been refused be-
cause of lack of previous military
training.
Vido Kuliachi, a former Goldfield
boy, news of whose death in action
was received here yesterday, was
killed July 1 and it is supposed both
he and Cunningham fell in the fight
ing for Vaux on the night of July
/ and the morning of July 2.
The last news from Cunningham
was received here a short time g
in a letter dated June 20. The let
ter was from C. ]. Ferretti, corporal
in a casualty depot detachment,
whom Cunningham had requested to
write to his father before he left
for the trenches. The letter says in
part:
81 always thought a lot of Billy
from the first time l saw him. He
was always in the best of spirits n
usually had the bunch splitting
their sides laughing at some of the
things he used to tell about"

The official mining reports for
last week show a maintenance of
normal ore shipments to the Next
can mill and the entire situation in
the mines is one of consistent adj
vance, giving most substantial re-
suits. The Union shipped 141 tons
averaging s25.S1 to the mill, and
also milled 1877 tons of wedge rock
averaging $3.50 to the ton. Devel-
opment work shows a south drift
started on the 1000 level, and on
the $500 level the south drift con-
tinues all in quartz giving low as
says. Ore extraction was from the
1900, 24OO and $500 levels, and
values ran from $24 to s29 to the
ton, a good average grade.
Of interest in the Mexican re-
port is the starting of development
work in the ore at a point 46 feet
down the winze sunk on rich ore
from the 1902 level, the advance
showing face all in quartz of good
milling grade, with high grade ore
exposed on the hanging wall. This
work gave a yield of Is tons of ore
sampling $42.95 per ton.
. Con. Virginia continued stopping
in the vein on the 1000 level, and
car samples ran from $1,000 to
s25.O6 per ton. Nos. l and 2 west
cross-cuts on the 210O level are in
porphyry and s%tringers of quartz.
On the 1900 level the ore extracted
sampled $11.99 per ton. Shipments
to the mill consisted of 259 tons
sampling $17.23 per ton.
Ophir on the 2100 level from the
south drift from No. 1 west cross

SANDBAGS ARE USEFUL
IN TRENCH WARFARE

LONDON, July 20. - British
sandbags, as we'll as British soldiers,
have played an important part in
the recent fighting in Italy. Since
last fall more than three million
sandbags have been sent to Italy
from this country. Parts of the
Italian line, owing to the nature of
the soil, had to be above ground,
and were built up completely of
sandbags, the reason being that near
the river trenches and dugouts could
not be constructed, as the water lay
within a foot of the ground level.

NEvAOA-W|lSON
MINE A WINNER
GREAT PREDICTIONS ARE MADE
FOR NEW SILVER PROP
ERTY

1t has been several years since
this section of Nevada had a real
mining boom such as now appears
probable and due to the recent gold
and silver strike made by Frank
Wilson on his property near East
gate.
Old-time miners predict it will
equal if not surpass the famous To-
nopah strike and which yielded over
"a hundred million dollars in gold
and silver. Competent miners and
mining engineers who have examin-
ed the property r all agreed that
it is equal to any of the big Nevada
mines at the same stage of develop
ment.
The property was located about
three years ago by Mr.. Wilson and
is, therefore, not exactly a new dis
covery, but it is only recently that
Mr.. Wilson uncovered a ledge of
high-grade ore and it is this that has
created the present stir and interest.
"A number of Fallon business men
have taken over the property and
organized the Nevada-Wilson Min
ing company for the purpose of de-
velOping the mine and later INSTALL
ing a mill. Fred Wightman is pres
ident of the new company. T. H.
Depp is vice president, A. l.. Haight,
secretary. and C. e. Bingham, treas
urer.
Several leasers are already work
ing on the property which consists
of several claims, about $50 acres
in all. The Nevada Wilson mine
has been developed by two tunnels
about 800 feet each and about ten
open cuts and shafts where the ore
shoot has shown up for a distance
of 1900 feet. George A. Foster, a
mining engineer of 25 years practi-
cal experience and C. E. Bingham
examined the mine and thoroughly
sampled same.
From n ledge Is feet wide they
report an average of SAT a ton, gold
and silver; from picked ore from
same ledge they got $17O a ton,
gold and silver: from a ledge two
feet wide an average of 1927 a ton,
gold and silver. Since MI. Foster
examined the mine the leasers have
uncovered still richer ore, some of it
running high in ruby silver and
free gold.
There are thousands of tons of
high-grade mill ore already on the
top of the ground in boulders, rang
ing in weight from a few hundred
pounds to several tons. Mr.. Wilson
estimates that there is at least $780,
600 worth of ore already blocked
and not including the high grade
recently uncovered.
There is abundant water and tim
Der close at hand, making the in
~stallation and operation of a mill
inexpensive in comparison to other
Nevada mines. = Churchill County
Standard.
