THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the fourth Liberty loan
will begin on September 18th and close on
October 18th.
The result of the loan will be watched with
keen interest in Europe, not only by our allies
in the war against the Teutonic powers, but
by our enemies as well. It's result will be re-
garded by them as a measure of the American
peoples support of the war.
The Germans know full well the tremendous
weight and significance of popular support of
the war, of the people at home backing up the
army in the field.
row; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every
dollar subscribed will help and encourage the
American soldiers and hurt and depress the
enemies of America.
The loan will be a test of the loyalty and will
llngness OF the people of the United States to
make sacrifices compared with the WILLINGNESS
of our soldiers to do their part.
There must be-and there will be-no fail
ure by the people to measure up to the courage
and devotion OF our boys in Europe. Many of
them have already given up their lives; shall
we at home withhold our money? Shall we
spare our dollars while they spare not their
very lives? /,
The Treasury Departments bureau of publ
city has issued an announcement concerning
disabled soldiers that it is to be hoped is not
complete. The Government is going to fit these
Anen ior uSeIul or galnful occupations, it says,
and then lis going to take an active interest
IN securing them work" The latter remark
may be merely a careless expression, the result
OF a habit OF thought created by a bad econom-
&c system. AS stated it implies that conditions
after the war will still be such that men fitted
tor useful work will be unable to secure Jobs
without outside aid. The men are entitled to
more than this. They are entitled to an econ
omlc system under which the job will seek them
regardless OF whether the administration takes
an interest in the matter. In a country endowed
with natural resources that could support the
population OF the world there is no reason whv
men mt TOR work should need help in finding
opportunities, unless the Government continues
the injustice OF permitting spectators to with
mold natural resources from use. Has the
treasury department no word of hope to offer
That workers after the war may not be depend

The long established custom Of opening both

A new industry is open to women
in Nevada. 1t may not appeal to
the average woman. who is willing
to collect fares on a street a or
work in railroad shops. but from the
present outlook members of the fair
sex may be given an opportunity to
try their hands at the new work
herding sheep. The draft has thinned
the ranks of sheep herders in the
State and during lambing time it is
feared there will be agreat shortage
of labor. To take care of this short
age big sheep companies are now
considering opening a training course
for women in this work and may en-
ploy a large number in the Spring
during the lambing season.

Mrs. Sarah Murphy, a pioneer resi-
dent of RUBY Hill who lived alone at
her home there, was found dead
Thursday morning. To a member of
the Kitchen family, who were her
nearest neighbors and had looked af-
ter her wants the previous evening,
she had remarked that she was not
feeling just herself, and during the
night the final summons came. She
was a woman 81 years of age and for
several years had been a sufferer
from the infirmities of age.
The county officials were notified
of her death and Justice of the Peace
j. ]. Lucey went up to the Hill and
viewed the remains. He decided
that her death being due to natural
causes, the holding of an inquest was
not necessary.

of Ruby Hill for the past 40 years,
coming here with her husband from
Treasure Hill. White Pine County.
When her husband died about &c
years ago she was left in comfortable
circumstances and at her death is said
to leave several thousand dollars in
good securities. She is not known
to have left any blood relations in
this country. but is said to have a
married brother living in Ireland.
The funeral lie being held this af-
ternoon from hr late home on Ruby
Hill.

SMALL SNOWFALL IN THE SOUTH
Bands of Sheep Reported Coming North
on Account Of Lack of Moisture


Bands of Sheep Reported Coming North
on Account Of Lack Of Moisture
Reports from Duckwater, Currant
Creek and the southern portion of
Nye County are to the effect that the
recent.fall of snow throughout this
section was very light in the south,
and the little that fell in the valleys
has now all disappeared. This infor-
nation was learned from A. C. Florio,
who came into Eureka last night
from his ranch at Duckwater.
Mr.. Florio states that the snowfall
in the hills was heavier and there is
probably enough to carry the sheep
in that section about ten days if the
weather remains cold and there is no
thaw. He said that most of the
bands of sheep were coming back
north; that the Bidart & Florio sheep
were all being watered at his Duck
water ranch, as were also the bands
of Charley Mitchell. Two bands of
Handley Bros. sheep r now being
fed some hay at Currant Creek,
where they are being held for water.

Notes Of Former Eurekans

n. r. Mayberry Goes to Mexico
A Eureka, Utah, correspondent of
the Salt Lake Tribune, writing under
date of Jan. 5. says:
Superintendent Andrew P. May
berry of the Centennial Eureka mine
left to-day for the big silver proper
ty of the United States Mining Com
pany, located at Pachuca. Hidalgo.
Mexico. He will be engaged in spe-
cial work for the company and prob
ably will not return to Tintic for
three or four months. During his
absence Foreman John Enlund will
be in charge of the Centennial Eu-
reka.
The Mexican property of the Uni
ted States Mining Company is said to
be the largest silver mine in the
world. Before the internecine war;
fare in that country, the mill. which
was operated in connection with the
mine. was turning out about three
and one-half tons of bullion per day,
and at this time the plant is said to
be treating almost as large a tonnage
of ore. When the American Com
pany purchased this Mexican proper
ty a few years ago it paid something
over six millions for it. and was not
long in getting back the purchase
price.
To Control Nations Oil Industry
Washington, Jan. 10.-Mark L.
Requa of Piedmont, CAL, was to-day
appointed head of the newly formed
oil division of the fuel administra-
ton which will hsLiie Government
control of oil. The first work will
be an investigation of the enti~e Pc
troleum situation.
The fuel ADMINISTRATION. it is un-
derstood. has not decided yet, how
far it will go in controlling the oil.
The food control bill. although it
does not give authority to fix oil
prices outright as in the case of coal
and coke. empowers the Government
to institute a licensing system.
1t is probable that the subject of
how far control will be exercised will
be left largely in the hands Of Re-
qua. who is a mining engineer and
oil expert.
Mr.. Requa was formerly President
of the Eureka & Palisade Railroad,
and was n of the principal own
r of the Jackson mining property
on Ruby Hill.

HIGH PRAISE FOR US.
TROOPS FROM GERMANS

With the British Army in France.
Oct. 20-(By the Associated Press
Just what the Germans think of
American soldiers with a few side re-
marks regarding the St. Mihiel oper-
atoms is disclosed in a confidential
document signed by the chief intel
ligence officer of the 19Sth German
army which has been captured by
Americans fighting on the British
front.
The document prefaces a discus
sion of the ST. Mihiel attack by ad-
hitting that the number of Ameri-
cans in reserve on that occasion was
unknown.
A little further on the order. which
was distributed generally throughout
the German army and was consid-
cred of n confidential nature, had
this to say of the American soldiers.
He obviously is very much afraid of
being taken prisoner. He defends
himself violently to the last against
this danger and does not surrender.
This seems to be the result of propa-
ganda picturing cruel treatment If
he falls into German hands.
The American is expert in handling
guns, firm on the defensive and de-
velops a strong power of resistance
from his very numerous machine
guns. "Liaaon between the infantry.
and artillery was perfect. When in
fantry ran into machine gun nests
it fell back and new artillery prep
aration from ACCOMPANYING batteries
followed very promptly"
