TOMMY
LIKES PHOTOS
SOLDIERS SEND MANY OF THEIR
PICTURES TO
FRIENDS

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Jan. a. = One of the
flourishing trades in the little
towns and villages behind the line
in France is the photographers.
The soldier has a universal fond
hess for having his picture taken.
With the British Tommy, the
visit to the village camera man is
a regular event of the greatest i'm
portance, and requires great pre-
p%arations. He borrows the best
pair of puttees in his section, or
better still, a pair of field-service
boots, brushes his clothes with
great care, cleans his belt and ban
dolier, and polishes his buttons.
If he belong to a mounted corps,
his spurs and cutting whip will
make a great display, for although
everybody agrees hat in this war
the infantry is the most important
branch, there is still a glamor at
taching to the mounted man, even
if his mount be only a cart horse
or a mule. Equestrian portraits are
much in demand, it is said, by the
girls at home.
AS often as not, Tommy gets
photographed in a group with -four
or five men from his section. For
one thing, this is cheaper. For
another, it supplies a testimonial to
the good company he keeps, and of
the fine fellows that his section
always the finest in the army
is composed Of.
Thousands of these photographs
are sent every day from rance to
England. The officers whose bust
ness it is to censor Private Atkins
correspondence gets very tired OF
seeing that noble hero's counter
ance enclosed in every letter he
sends for weeks after the event, and
the number of feminine admirers
entitled to copies of the p%hotogra-
phic artists production seems to
be unlimited.
The prevalence of the group
photograph leads to many romantic
developments. Some girl friend
of the recipient admires 1.-The good
looking lance corporal next to you,
Tom." and a new correspondence
starts up under the fatherly eye OF
the censorship officer.

GREEK WRESTLER HURLS
CHALLENGES BROADCAST

Crith Theophulus, a Greek 1885,
pound wrestler, arrived here yester-
day from Fresno, Cal, and is seek
ing a match. He offers 500 to
anyone who will stay one hour with
him and offers to take on Ajax and
Berne, who recently threw the
Masked Marvel, on the same night.
He claims Berne refused to meet
him three years ago in Los Angeles.
He wants to wrestle on any terms.
but states that he prefers to meet
an opponent on a winner-take-all
basis. Theophulus left this morning
for Tonopah to talk with Harry
Grier. matchmaker for the Tonopah
Business Mems association, and
stated that he would return here in
a few days.

ARE
BEING RETURNED SLOWLY

With January z the last day for
of questionnaires the board reports
that little more than half of them
have yet been returned. This is
number of registrants who have left
here since the last draft and it Is
believed that the missionaries will
of the registrants now in this coun-
ty have made return. Regulations
for the return of the missionaries
specify "seven days, plus a reason
able allowance for communication
by mail"

Burglar Returns Valuables

To have his house robbed and
have the stolen articles returned
within SO hours by the person who
stole them was the experience OF
John McGrath of Virginia City. Nc
Grath's house was entered while
the family was absent and jewelry
and other articles were stolen.
Thirty-six hours later they were
found in the case in which they
were stolen, lying in the back yard.
1t is believed that the thief, know
ing that Warden Henrichs of the
state prison and a finger print ex-
pert has been over the premises,
became scared and returned the
loot.

satisfactory, especially in the inter-
mediate drift from the 100O-foot
hanging wall raise, where there is
about Y feet of exceptionally good
ore disclosed. The general appear
ances are considered good.
The new vein on the 100O-foot
intermediate is also looking good,
according to the management, and
the vein gives every evidence of
strength.
A carload of ore was shipped
from the mine to the West End mill
this morning, and it is reported as
says we'll up to the average of the
North Star mine, which has always
been above the regular grade of the
Tonopah mills.-Tonopah Miner.

MORE MILLS
IN SOUTHERN
NEVADA {
COMPANIES REPORTED TO BE
PREPARING FOR EARLY
BUILDING

The era of mill building has in
vaded Southern Nevada and 1t is
merely a question of securing ma
terials and machinery to fix sew
eral mines that are just passing the
stage and entering the
class of shippers, says a letter from
Prominent among these Is the
Bellehelen Mines company of Den
YER, operating at the old camp OF
Bellehelen, owned and conducted by
Thomas Cornforth and j. j. Sweet.
This company has been having its
ore treated at the West End mill
in Tonopah with which it has a very
satisfactory contract and no fault TO
find but the cost of transportation
great concern. The ore is a free
milling gold ore that would readily
milling gold ore hat would readily
yield to amalgamation and the cost
of construction would not be a very
serious item when the saving is con-
sidered. The haulage charge on
ore already during the past season
has aggregated $4,000 and the man
agement believes this would go a
long way toward paying for a mill
OF 25 to SO tons capacity daily. Mr..
Sweet is in Tonopah advising with
engineers about details of construc-
ton and will decide soon what &C
ton to take. The company is a
close corporation and one that never
offered a share for sale as it was
financed from the beginning so well
that development proceeded and
nothing was said until the mine was
on a shipping basis. Then the COM
pany quietly proceeded to convert
its ore into bullion.
The old Clifford mine of Silver
Bow has come back with it's maiden
shipment of gold and silver ore
which arrived at the West End mill
in Tonopah late Saturday evening.
This property is now under lease to
Joe St~enson, Jim Clifford and asso-
ciates, who took hold of it about
six weeks ago with the result that
they have made a mine of what has
been regarded as one of the most
promising prospects in Nye county
but which lanQuished for years owl
ing to the illness of the elder ClF
ford. -
The shipment will run in the
neighborhood of $3.50 to $500 a ton
with the percentages of gold and
silver about the same ratio as the
Tonopah ores or one in 20 with
silver predominating. The mine is
opened by a shaft sunk to a depth
Of 100 feet where the ledge was
cut showing a width of from Is to
"a inches. A tunnel has been start
ed from the side of the hill and
run only about Is feet. This was
extended IS feet further, where it
entered the bottom of the shaft.
A contract has been let for a
three-ton truck to operate between
here and the mine and the ship
ments are expected to average Is
tons a week. The road is as smooth
as a boulevard. A compressor suit
able to run a couple of drills has
been secured and, when this is in
stalled in the course of the next 80
days, the tonnage will be increased
to double the present shipments.
After the mine is more fully de-
veloped a mill will be erected

Crowder Praises Nevada

That Nevada has the cleanest rec
ord of any state in the draft was
the statement made to Governor
Boyle by Provost Marshal-General

vada handled the work and of tn
fact that it was done without eX-
pense to the federal government.

N. c. Buck of Randolph arrived in the
city this morning from Randolph, max
ing the trip overland in his automobile.
He reported the roads in bad condition
as the result of yesterdays shower and
heavy rains during the night. A motor
party of Patriarch Militant who set
out from st. Johnsbury early this morn
ing arrived in the city just before noon.
Their journey was somewhat delayed by
the hard going encountered. Other re-
ports tended to confirm the feeling that
muddy highways deferred many from
attending to-day's sessions of the Odd
Fellows convention.
First steps toward improving the sur
! face of Washington street have been
taken by the city street department, al
though much remains to be done before
the road becomes fairly passabe. A top
dressing has been laid over the highway
near Academy street and the base of the
hill, and this application is to be contin-
ued faEher up the hill The city coun-
ell, by reason of the low ebb at which
funds are flowing does not plan to do
great deal of permanent work this year.
Street oil cannot be procured in large
quantities, and because of the shortage
water will be about the only medium Of
allaying the dust this season.
Local merchants to-day were calling at
tention to the fact that tomorrow is
straw hat day, but number of familiar
figures, to say nothing of natty young
"drummers," etc, have anticipated the
mercantile bulletins by DOMINIC their
straw lids before May 10. 1t is to be
noticed that the war is not without its
effect on head gear, for good many OF
the straw lids thus far uncovered this |
season are OF the class known as repeat |
ers. Old hats that have been listed in |
the family wardrobe appendix as repeat
ers are now doing daily duty. Some OF |
them have passed into the sere and vel.
low stage, but their owners contend that
the wearing them is like displaying
badge of patriotism.
Returns for the week ending May IL
have not been completely tabulated at
the Barre postoffice, but the work thus
far gives promise of showing consid-
cradle increase over the thrift stamp
totals reported by the city and rural
carriers week ago. Rural carriers are
now reporting interesting experiences
with travellers who hold them up on the
highway. 1t is the kind OF hold up
they enjoy, for invariably their confer
snce with the man who shares the road
with them ends in a sale of thrift ]
stamps. School children have acquired J
he habit, and the steady growth of sales !
Lmong the students who attend the dis
riot schools is one of the most encour-
ging signs of the campaign.

the amount of the damage was very
slight. Beginning with the third

favorable for farm operations and the
growth Of crops Temperatures stead
lily increased and the amount of sun
shine was considerably above normal.
The ground was soon dry enough to
work and much in the way of pillow =
