''OIAMONDF|ElD JACK"
HAS FOUND A winner
ING GOOD VEIN NEAR
CARSON

"Diamondfield jack Davis and
his associates are developing half a
dozen mining claims beyond Carson
Lake, being some seven or eight
miles south of Allen Springs. 1t is
an entirely new discovery. On one
location an assay of $65 was Sc
cured from a 10-inch vein in a four
foot ledge. The next two feet gave
1884, the remainder of the ledge
running about 81.
In another place on the same
ledge assays across three feet gave
26.4 ounces in silver and $3.50
in gold. At other points ON the
same vein they got as high as
$42.47. This gives the owners as
surance that they are working in
well m~ineralized territory and they
will Immediately sink to so feet.
A good cabin has been erected to
make the men comfortable and the
intention is to prosecute develop
ment work.
Fallon will be the headquarters
for this new camp, which 1t is hop
ed will develop into a good produ-
Ger. The county has been grading
the road south of the Island dis
trict where the road has heretofore
been flooded in the wet season.
This improvement will greatly help
in the traffic between here AMI
Camp Terrell as we'll as for all ter

ginia-Louise Mining company has
succeeded in working out details re-
garding the financing Of the prop
erty, and it is expected that the OPP
Grafton of the mine will be under

heretofore, and when it arrives and is
installed a lively campaign will be
undertaken.
The judge and others interested
in the Virginia-Louise company are
expecting to hear of Judge Averill's
decision in the damage case against
the Prince Consolidated, which was
tried before the Tonopah judge, to
be handed down any day. This
case involved the question of tres
pass and alleged unlawful extraction
of ore from the property of the
Virginia-Louise company.
When asked concerning this case
to be argued before the Nevada rail-
road commission in which the ques-
ton of making a common carrier out
of the Prince Consolidated railroad
is involved. the judge said: This
matter will come up some time in
January. the exact date not yet hav-

Grand Jury Ignored

The Elko county grand jury rec
commended that no liquor licenses be
renewed to saloons on the border
lines of Utah and Idaho, as it was
believed that such places were op-
Grated for the sole purpose of sup
plying with booze residents of those
states. Despite the recommendations
licenses have been renewed by the
county liquor board and what action
the grand jury will take in the mat
ter is a matter of conjecture.

Political Landmark Doomed

One of Reno's notorious land
marks soon is to pass out of existence
through action taken by the city
council in denying an application for
a renewal of the liquor license of
the Arcade saloon on Commercial
Row. Years ago the Arcade was
the main headquarters from which
the political sack" was distributed
in Reno and a place where voters
knew they could always secure
money with the understanding that
they would support certain candi-
dates. On election day a long line
of voters was always to be found in
front of the Arcade.

Washington, June 19.-Atty- Gen.
Gregory has refused to approve the
form of contract between the railroad
administration and the new consoli-
dated express company without some
provision for restration of competi-
tin after the war.
The attorney general, John Barton
Payne. chief counsel for the railroad
administration, and c. A. Prouty, di-
rector of accounts for the railroad ad-
ministration. conferred today in an
effort to agree on a plan which would
not give immunity from prosecution
under the antitrust laws to the express
companies after the wartime emer-
gency is past, and which would be
acceptable to the consolidated cor
poration meanwhile.
The attorney generals attitude is
understood to be that regardless of
the urgency of unifying the express
companies at this time in single
agency of the railroad administration.
the condition after the war might be-
come illegal and the express monopoly
subject to prosecution. Consequently
he suggested clause to be inserted
in the contract to remove any ground
on which the company might claim
government sanction for the combi-
nation in peace times.
Although the express companies
have made no formal announcement.
their officers have indicated that the
consolidation ~ for operating purposes

O'Clock, the seven lieutenants whose
names are given on another page were
elected.
Great spirit was shown by the colored
men who were assembled at the call of
their country. Gen Whitaker impressed
it upon them that they were soldiers
from the present moment forward, and
the efforts of the negroes to be soldierly
were commendable and sometimes hu-
morous. For instance, when a soldiers
name is called in the ranks it is not
usual for him to respond, Comm down,
boss!"
A number of the men were absent
from rollcall at the courthouse and nine
alternates were delegated to go in their
places. This extra list was% Charles
Warren. A. B. Amos, Wills Broyles.
George White, Homer Smith. William
Kinion, Herman Waterhouse, James Lee
and William Brown.
The men who reported before Chairman
Whitaker were an outstanding muscular
bunch. They gathered before the grand
jury room and spent the time waiting
for their chairman in joking with each
other. They seemed in the pink of spir-
its.
All persons desiring to attend the big
parade Wednesday night will take notice
that the train schedule has been moved
up from $3.50 to 8 as the time for en-

not mobilize their men until pm. to-
morrow. At this time Chairman Brown.

chairmen will be to attend a religious
service. The entire body will be directed

ments."
His interests had been centered in
the work connected with the develop
ments of the army and the effort to
maintain it at the level at which II had
been entrusted to him. Now. in time
of war, he could not better celebrate
the day than under the same roof with
the field marshal and his faithful, high
ly gifted generals and general staff.
The emperor continued:
'Tn peace time in the preparation of
my army for war my grandfather's war
comrades gradually passed away and
as the German horizon gradually dark
ened many a German and not the least

would in this danger place the right
man at our side. Our hope has not
been disappointed.
IN your excellency and in you, Gen.
Ludendorff, heaven bestowed upon the
German empire and the German army
and staff, men who are called upon in
these great times to lead the German
people in arms in it's decisive struggle
Tor existence and the right to live. and
with its help to gain victory"
Heaven has given Germany the
right men for the German empire and
the German army to conduct the
struggle for existence the right to live

England meant a world war; meant
a struggle between Germany's liberty
and honor and England's love of

say why we are fighting. Every one

glass I wish prosperity to my great
army chief and to the army. Hur-

Advices received today said that in
honor of the anniversary the German
cruiser Kronprinz would be renamed

Amsterdam, June 1S.-The war is not
matter of strategic campaign, but a
struggle of two world views wrestling
with one another. Emperor William
declared On Saturday at the celebration
of the anniversary of his accession at
German main headquarters.
Either German principles of right,
freedom, honor ard morality must be
upheld" he added "or Anglo Saxon
principles with their idolatry of man.
mon must be victorious"
The Anglo Saxens, he asserted, aim
ed at making the peoples of the world
work as slaves for the Anglo Saxon
ruling race and such a matter should
not be decided in days or weeks or
even in a year.
The emperor emphasized the fact
that from the first he had realized that
the trials of war would be great. The
first outbreak of enthusiasm had not
deceived him. Great Britain's inter-
vention had meant world struggle
whether he desired it or not.
Drinks To His Marshals.
He said he was thankful that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and Gen.
Ludendof11 nau Deen placeu at MS size
as counsellors. Drinking to the health
of the army and its leaders, the en-
peror said:
THE German people and army in
deed, are now one and the same and
look up to you with gratitude. Every
man out there knows what he is fight
ing for, the enemy himself admits that.
and in consequence we shall gain vic
tory of the German standpoint. That
is what is in question"
The emperor referred to the period
of peace which he described as "twen-
ty years of profitable but hard work,
though they could not. always be re-
garded as successful in a political re-
spect andt had brought disappoint-
