APEX rights ARE
UPHELD BY court

The right of a hold of silver claim
to follow indefinitely in opposite di-
rections a vein where the crest or
apex of the anticline is within that
claim, was sustained by the United
States Supreme court yesterday, says
the Reno Gazette.
The court decided proceedings
brought by the Jim Butler Tonopah
Mining Company to recover the value
of ore extracted from beneath the sur
face of their claims by the West End
Consolidated Mining Company, a Ne
vada corporation, the properties in
question being located in Tonopah.
In bringing the suit the Jim Butler
Company denied the apex existed, but
eontended the vein was in the form of
a roll. The lower courts. in part,
sustained this contention, but ruled
that the crest of this roll constituted
an apex and that the West End Com
pany had the right to operate the vein
in opposite directions on both sides
Of that point.
According to information received
in Reno by mining men, the decision
of the Supreme court was made in the
apex suit of the Jim Butler Mining
Company against the West End, a suit
that has been in the court for sew
eral years.
"If this decision was made in the
Jim Butler-West End case, and appar-
emily it was, it appears that the West
End wins the suit. as this was our
contention" said Judge S. S. Downer,
who was one of the counsel for the
West End. 81 would not like to make
statement directly on this without
seeing the opinion, however"
The West End stock broke from
s1.07 to 80 cents yesterday morning,
and then went back to $1.17. The
first reports coming in were to the
effect that the Jim Butler had won
the case.

GOLCONDANS TO
GIVE Big DINNER

Mrs. George Brady of Golconda
telephoned The Silver State in a hurry
this morning, asking that we an
nounce that the ladies of the Red
Cross would give swell dinner at
Bains hall on Sunday afternoon for
the benefit of the Junior Red Cross
chapter which is being organized in
that town. Parties who spend Sun
day in Golconda will make no mis-
take in patronizing this spread, given
for most worthy cause. Besides. the
committee is composed of some of the
finest cooks in the state, and all sorts
of good things will be served. If
there is no room in the car of a
friend, Southern Pacific No. 6, leav-
ing at 3 pm, will get you there. 1t
sounds good to hear about a dinner
beginning with cold chicken, roast
pork, all kinds of salads, relishes,
cakes, etc, and winding up with ice
cream.

MAN KILLED THIS MORNING
GETTING ON NO. l AT INLAY

When Southern Pacific train No.
started away from Inlay after taking
water this morning, William Allison,
who said that his home was any
where" fell under the wheels and suf-
fered the loss of one leg and other
injuries which caused his death at
10:30 O'Clock this morning. A physi-
clan of Inlay brought him to the
county hospital here Immediately
after the accident, but he never re-
covered from the shock. He was Sc
years of age and has a father living
in Walhalla, North Dakota, who has
been notified of his death. Pending
instructions from the father the body
is in charge of John Gulling of the
Ayers undertaking parlors. Coroner

NURSES SLOW IN ENROLLING
FOR RED CROSS SERVICE

The Pacific division of the American
Red Cross has extended its drive for
nurses to continue throughout the
week, according to the announcement
made by Miss Lillian L. White, direc-
tor of the bureau of nursing for the
division
Originally the drive, which started
June 3, was to have continued for a
period of ten days, but it is evident
that that time will not be sufficient to
enroll the quota of 610 nurses al
lotted the division.
Miss White figures that at least 500
applications must be on file to assure
the requisite nubmer of 610 enroll
ments. From all accounts there have
not yet been 500 applicants. In fact,
n is doubtful if over the 610 allotment
have been covered even by applica-
tions.
There seems to be a question on the
part of many nurses as to whether
they will have the same standing by
enrolling through the Red Cross as
they would have if they enrolled di-
rectly with the army and navy.
Surgeons General Gorgas of the
army and Braisted of the navy have
asked the Red Cross to enroll these
nurses. They will be part OF the
army and navy forces and come under
army and navy regulations. The en-
rollment was put into the hands OF
the American Red Cross because il
was thought that organization was
better equipped to get the desired re-
suits in the shortest possible time.
If the Pacific division is to go over
the top, as it has done on every oc-
casion in the past, it will be necessary
for nurses to file their enrolment ap-
plications before next Saturday.

Six men, returning from the state
convention of the Eagles held In Ely,
bound for Tonopah, suffered serious
injuries when their auto turned over
near Warm Springs, pinning the pas
sengers beneath. The most danger
ously hurt were Ben ID. Luce, candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for governor. and Charles l.. Richards,
attorney and secretary of the Tonopah
aerie. The other passengers were
n. w. Mccormick, Pete Beko. Alfred
Simard and Jess Coburn. Some of
the men managed to extricate them
selves and brought assistance from a
nearby mine. Luce was burned about
the back and arms from acid escaping
from the batteries. Richards was
bruised about the legs. Mccormick
sustained injuries to his ribs. Beko's
shoulder was dislocated and Simard
escaped with sprains. All will re-
cover.

CAT SAVES REST OF
CITY FROM FLAMES

A fire broke out at 2:15 o'clock this
morning which but for the wailine
and crying of a small kitten might
have resulted in another and perhaps
more serious fire In Winnemucca.
Yesterday afternoon a member of
the Ructeschler family had some
pressing to do and did same with the
aid of an electric flatiron, but after
finishing forgot to turn the electricity
OFF. This was in rear room of the
Ructeschler grocery store, on Bridge
street near second.
Last night the small kitten was
locked up In the store and the family
retired in their quarters upstairs.
About 2 o'clock this morning, Miss
Margaret Ructeschler was awakened
by the sound of the cats cries and
went out on the back porch to see if
she could find out the cause. The
first thing she noted when getting on
the porch were clouds of smoke COM
ing out of the building on the floor
below.
Miss Ructeschler Immediately
aroused the other members of the
family and collectively, with one fire
extinguisher and many kettles and
pals. they finally extinguished the
flames. There was no time to turn
in fire alarm.
But for a steel ceiling in the room
in which the fire occurred the fire
would undoubtedly have eaten its way
into the upper rooms. AS it was, a
hole was burnt in the floor, a piano,
a phonograph and numerous articles
of furniture were badly burned. Fire
insurance carried will probably offset
the loss sustained-about $500.
This is the second fire started by
an electric iron which has been fought
by the Rueteschler family. About a
year ago the same member of the
family had some ironing to do and at
that time forgot TO turn of the cleo
tricity, with similar results, the
former fire being started in a pantry.
but was soon discovered and extin-
guished

NEVADA CROPS IN FAIR
CONDITION, SAYS REPORT

Nevada crops made fair progress
in May. Winter wheat maintained
the condition figure of 81 per cent sci
last month. Reports from Lyon
county are very promising This is
the first time considerable acreage
of winter wheat has been tried in the
locality.
Spring wheat acreage shows little
change. The western counties in.
creased the acreage, but in the ter.
ritory watered by the Humboldt
smaller sowfngs were made. Condi
tion is only fair.
Oats and barley show a slight de
crease in acreage and the latter al
unusually low condition. With favor
able weather crops larger than last
years are still possible.
All hay and alfalfa have both been
unfavorably affected by the cool
weather and drought. Their condi-
tions are S5 and SO per cent respec-
lively.
Pasture condition is low because
the showers the last week in May
were so limited in their extent. Cool
weather has retarded growth on the
higher ranges.
Truck crops show about the usual
promise. The cantaloupe and melon
acreage in Clarke county has been
practically cut to half that of last
year. Peaches show remarkably
high condition. Apples are better
than average,

VERNON ROBINS
WRITES TO DAD
Somewhere In France,

May B, 1918.
Dear Father: Am going to write
you a letter while / have time, as I
know owe you one. Have received
one letter and couple of home
papers since being over here, as well
as about a dozen letters from the
girls. However, when things get
little settled and our mail gets to COM
ing more regularly, it will be much
better.
Have been getting along very good
over here. France is a very pretty
country, although the last five or six
weeks it has rained almost continu-
ally and in some places it is very
muddy. However, we sort of get used
to it, like We do anything else.
The home papers received were
the ones with the account of the fire
at the Ell Dorado and was very sorry
about it, as well as surprised. 1t is
certainly big loss to Winnemucca, as
well as to Phil Blume. Please tell
Phil l was very sorry to hear of 1t and
hope he will come back stronger than
ever. Also express my sympathy to
Mr.. and Mrs. Wuertele, as well as
any one else who was injured by 1t.
Notice where Tick" Poulin cabled
his folks of his safe arrival in France.
Am glad to hear of it and only hope
| shall get to see him. Have only
seen one fellow 1 know before / en-
listed since being over here, and he
was young fellow who worked at
Rochester. He is in the --th
infantry. However, no doubt 1 will
probably run into lot of them before
we get through with this job.
Think that when the Americans get
enough over here and all ready they
will show the Boche something. They
have already given a very good ac-
count of themselves in what mix-ups
they have been in.
The French people like the Ameri-
cans very much and we get along fine
with them. They look forward to the
Americans to finish up the job in good
style when they are ready.
We were all very glad to hear about
the oversubscription to the third Lib
erty loan and it looks good to see the
people behind the war. However.
from what / have heard they are get
ting more that way every day. At
that, most of the men over here are
putting their money in Liberty bonds.
besides what else they are going
through over here. So the people
home should stand behind anything
like that.
1T is rather hard to write a letter
over here, as we cannot say a great
deal. At that, you folks in the States
probably get more news about what Is |
going on over here than we do, as the |
newspapers get lot of stun we don't. |
How is everything in Nevada?
From the papers 1 saw the mines
seem to be pretty good, as well as
everything else.
Well, am running out of something
to write, so will have to bring this to
close. Wish you would still con-
tinue to send the papers, as / appre-
ciate them great deal.
