GREAT FUTURE FOR MINING

One thing, among many others that
the war has done is to give the east
better understanding as to the needs
and value of the miEes of the west.
When the war came on, and with Its
tremendous demand for metals, the
mines at once assumed an Importance
they had never held before. 10 en-
able the nation to win the war, the
mines had to produce a liberal out
put under most adverse conditions
and this they accomplished to an eN-
tent beyond criticism.
Many old mines and numerous pros
poets are held idle at the present
time, the owners only awaiting the
advent of more propitious times to
start development operations. Pres
ent governing facts can only mean
that when better national conditions
materialize there will be record re-
vival in mining. more substantial than
a boom and of continued duration.
All the mining industry needs is
encouragement in the way of fair leg
islation and taxation and if prices
must be regulated let them be high e.
nough to assure good returns to the
men risking their capital in develop
ment enterprises and good wages to
the workmen.

FARM LABOR TO BE
ENROLLED.

Coincident with the announcement
by Provost Marshall General Crow
der that all men within draft ages
must either work at necessary indust-
ry or enlist at once. comes the an
nouncement that Nevadans willing
andl capable of working on farms dur
ing the summer months arc asked to
enroll IS Emergency Farm Laborers,
in the Public Service Reserve, ac-
cording to Dean c. S. Knight, State
Director in the work.
"Ther. are three important factors
behind this campaign" said Dean
Knight in Reno yesterday, first, to
encourage the farmer by making him
understand that the government is
squarely behind him in his labor prob
lens: second, to induce farm-trained
men to go back to the soil, at least
temporarily; third, to show the cities
and towns that their food supply de-
ponds upon the labor they help to
furnish.
The whole idea is this-it is fool
ish to ask the former to plant, unless
we guarantee him help in harvesting.
There is available host of men who
will be able and glad to devote part
or all of their time to farm work if
rhe country needs them-and it *
goiEg to need them.
Complete and cordial cooperation
exists between the County Council
of Defense, the Public Service Re-
serve and tho farmers OF the state.
Anyone wishing to enroll for emer-
gency employment is urged to see my
enrolment agent in his town at once.

NEVADA-DOUGLAS.
Negotiating To Sell Copper and
Finance Railroad Debt.

Henry I. Moore, director of the
Nevada Douglas Consolidated who
has had its copper marketing in charge
states that the company now has on
hand 2,2S0,0O0 pounds of the red met
al not yet sold. Some advances have
been made on this output, but not
enough to pay the cost of its mining.
Hence the net profits from it are
still unrealized.
1t is officially expected to sell this
copper within the next 80 days or as
soon as the new price is fixed.
Efforts are being made to finance
the floating Debt of the Copper Belt
abroad, amounting to about 100000.
About $4,000 OF this floating debt
is due to Nevada Douglas itself. for
money advanced to the railroad. of

pany owns IS per cent.

The case of Mrs. Anna Geer, an
action for divorce, was turned down
cold by Judge Hart on Wednesday.
1t seems that the plaintiff had not
made her residence in Lyon County
for the required time, and that she
was suing on grounds of non-support
after her own desertion of her hus-
band She had come to town shortly
before the trial and had registered
from Fallon, where she testified she
had been staying for nearly three
months. The Judge surely was just
flied in feeling that the facts did not
show either good faith or good
cause of action and he is to be COM
mended for saving the reputation OF
our town and of the District Court.

MILITARY TRAINING AT
N. NJ. UNIVERSITY

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Aug. Am
oouncement of the establishment OF
.he department OF military training
At the University Of New Mexico has
aroused general interest throughout
the state, and has brought an imme-
date response from young men be-
tween the ages Of eighteen and twen-
ty-One who are anxious to prepare
themselves for the maximum Of serv-
&c to the country when they are
called.
Under the regulations governing
the new department, which will be
directed by regularly detailed army
fhcer, students must enlist for the
period Of the war, agreeing to take
The military training given in con-
Hection with regular college work.
They have the status Of regularly en-
lsted soldiers in deferred classiiica-
ion, and win not be called into serv-
e until they reach draft age, or un-
I'll the government needs them.
Emphasizing the Importance which
.ae government places upon the cam
aaign to enlist young men under the
raft age in combined college and
Military training, the national educa-
onal council has appointed Presi-
lent David R. Boyd Of the university,
tate chairman for New Mexico in
the nationwide campaign now being
arried out with q view to develop
ing for the government a class OF
College trained men who also have the
necessary military training.
There is a triple economy, a triple
aspect TO this saving Of wheat. 1t
saved wheat for our army and the
rmies of our allies; it saved money
70 the American people, and for the
most part this money went for the
urchaSe Of government war securi-
ties.
The work of the new department
the university does not conflict
,th the New Mexico Military lnsti-
ute, or any other college giving mill
{ ny training. At the same time it
ilarges the states facilities for
lsaining boys, and greatly enlarges
the capacity of the university for
statewide service.
Responses are now coming from
II parts of the state, and il is ex-
,eted that the minimum enlistment
the new university department OF
& have been completed
tsin two weeks. II is now the hope
the university authorities that the
5tal enrolment in this class may
zach 200 by the opening Of the fall
,srm on October 1st.
