PROSPECTOR FINDS
GOOD ORE DEPOSIT

Andy Ghiggeri, who has been
prospecting in this section for the
past fifteen years, arrived in Ely
yesterday from the Willow Creek
district of Nye county, bringing with
him many samples of picture
rock" which he took from one of
his claims situated about 1000 feet
south of the Willow Creek Mining
company's property, which is now
producing a large amount of very
rich gold ore, Andy reports that
the vein matter is about four feet
in width, the rich ore occurring in
stringers several inches in width
in the vein, which will average
several hundred dollars per ton.
the entire lead is a good milling
proposition. His main shaft is now
down SO feet, besides which he has
other development work. The ore
is somewhat similar to that OF the
Willow Creek company, and is liter
ally full OF free gold.-Ely Record.

STATE WAR STAMP
SALES ARE LARGER
DER NEVADA
QUOTA

Total sales of war savings stamps
in Nevada to Jan. 81 amounted to
$66,2SO, of which Goldfield contri-
buted $~17,22O.75, or about one
fourth.
State sales for January were well
over $4,000, which, although it
is a long way from the state quota
of $4,000 a week, is far better
than December. when only $4,000
worth we're sold. Goldfield prOduc-
ed over one-third of the December
state total. Goldfie d sales in
January amounted to ~$11,927.69.
The largest individual buyer OF
war savings stamps here is John
Avanzini, who purchased $1,000
worth for each of his five children,
one for his wife and n for him
self, making a total of $1,000,
which was largely instrumental in
placing the town in the front rank
in the state and country.
1t is to be regretted that the
Avanzini family numbers but seven.

TYPO SCENE
OF ACTIVITY

The louisiana Consolidated Min
ing company is installing at its Typo
property a Wolf super-heated steam
plant. 1t has a capacity of 100 b. p.
and is operated by crude oil. 1t will
be used to furnish power for the new
mill. A double-drum electric hoist
has been installed In the place of the
old steam hoist. A 20 h. p. electric
hoist has been put on the 400 level
and sinking will be resumed from the
500 to the 600 station. An Aldrich
electric station pump has been in
stalled on the 400 to replace the tur-
bine pumps. These various changes
have been made to secure greater eff
ficiency and economy on power.
, All the mill machinery has been
delivered to the site of the plant.
Construction is progressing rapidly.
Complete equipment has been in
stalled In the machine shop. Drift
ing IN the branch vein is in progress
on the 800 level southwark and or
the 400 level to the north. Stopping
has commenced on the intermediate

James Hughes, charged with the
murder OF John Graf, was completed

were placed on the stand by the de-
Tense.
Charles Goodwin testified yester-
day afternoon to seeing a tall, slim
man running along the alley be-
tween Main and Columbia streets,
going south, a short time before the
holdup. Fred Smith, who was in
the Club saloon before the holdup
and when Graf was there, testified
that Graf had displayed his money in
the presence of Hughes. Nels Thy
lander, bartender in the Club sa-
loon on the morning Of the holdup,
also testified to this and stated that
after Graf and Steiner had left the
saloon, Hughes stood in a corne in
a thoughtful attitude, with his head
down, before leaving and that he
departed suddenly.
Cal Lay, one of the proprietors Of
the "Our Place" saloon, testified

given into his care. He testified that
he returned the gun to Hughes when
the latter called for it.
Lay described the gun that he
gave to Hughes and when the noon
recess was taken District Attorney
Foley was .endeavoring to use the
testimony of Lay to definitely identi-
fly the gun found in a vacant lot near

This afternoon Lay testified that
he thought the gun which was intro
duced in evidence was the one he
had given to Hughes.

ORE SHIPPED
NEAR CARSON

In the hills just west of town
VIII Walker and the Muldoon
brothers r working industriously
getting out another shipment Ga
iron ore. They recently shipped a
sample car to San Francisco and
the returns, though not astounding
ly high, showed substantial profits
and encouraged the boys in going
ON with their work.
They are now extracting about
two tons of ore per day during the
process of sinking, but this amount
will be considerably enlarged when
more depth has been attained and
stopping cropping opened up. The
ore so far extracted and disclosed
runs about so per cent and the
ledge shows increased with as depth
is reached.
The property was visited yester-
day by Manager Ardery of the Vir-
ginia and Truckee, and George d.
Smith of the Industrial Insurance
commission, and after making a
careful inspection of the openings
and surrounding conditions they
pronounced 1t a very promising
prospect.-Carson Appeal.

SUBSTITUTE FOR
PLATINUM FOUND
GOLD ALLOY IN RARE METAL
MAKES VALUABLE
PRODUCT

A substitute for platinum has
been discovered and it is being pro-
duced in Los Angeles, according to
the Mining and Oil Bulletin.
During the past three years this
metal has made a phenomenal rise
from the normal, before-the-war
price of $40 an ounce to the present
wartime price of $105 an ounce.
The chief source of this pi ecious
metal is in the Ural mountains of
Russia, and now the war has se..-
ously hampered the mining and
shipments, and many of the r.iaes
are shut down and the ~transpcrta-
ton conditions are such that none
gets to the outside world.
To find a substitute for planri-
mum has therefore offered a profit
table field for research. C.. A.
Overmire of Los Angeles has the
distinction of being the ~discoverer
Of the only practical substitute thus
far known.
Mr.. Overmire is a specialist in
the rare metals and has been for
several years receiving placer con-
centrates from the west coast of
North and South America.
During his search for this metal
he found a wealth Of platinum and
palladium in the ores of the Boss
mine of Goodsprings, Nevada. The
Boss ores also carry gold and in the
course of his experiments Mr.. Over
mire found that the gold and palla-
oium formed an alloy peculiarly
like platinum. Further experiment.
ing developed a metal consisting Of
gold alleged with palladium in such
proportions as to ecu the best
results in laboratory practice. This
new metal is called "Palau," a
name indicative of the two alleged
metals.
"Palau" ware Is made into labor
atory utensils and has a melting
Ioint of 1870 degrees centrigrade.
and can withstand continuously L.
900 degrees centigrade. The United
States Bureau of Standards has
made a thorough comparative test
and report on the ware.
: A carload of platinum r ship
ped to a munitions plant in New
Jersey recently from Los Angeles
gave a return of exactly $500
gross, and the net returns were ST.
ELS. The ore came from the Boss
mine in Nevada, and was handled
out of Los Angeles. Another car
of platinum ore was sold in Los
Angeles last month for almost $10,-
coo, inclusive of the freight, which
was not over 5000.
In the rapid rise in value of pla-
tinum has come the finding of a
new ore in the Yellow Pine dis
trict in Nevada. 1t is. pallati-
rum. 1t is coming into popular use
in the jewelry trade Of the country
where platinum has long been in
demand. Platinum Is too white for
the setting of diamonds and the
more costly jewels besides, and pal
lantinum is just of the proper yell
low shading. 1t is a blending of
PLATINUM and gold, and takes a
finer polish than platinum does.
One famous jewelry firm in New
York has contracted with the pal
lantinum mine owners in Nevada
for all 1t can turn out during the
next six months. = Clark County

MEN ARE WANTED
TO BUILD SHIPS
DRIVE FOR SKILLED WORK
MEN TO START NEXT
WEEK

-
Mechanics, carpenters and other
skilled men wishing to enroll in
the shipyards volunteers should
seek the enrolment agent in their
community as soon as possible, and
certainly during the week commenc-
ing Monday, Feb. H." says a let
ter from Dean C.. s. knight, state
director of the public service re-
serve; "Out of 3S6 men needed to
fill our quota in Nevada, we esti-
mate over 100 have already APP
piled throughout the state, Gold
field leading with rs applications.
I'm many respects this is the
most important call the government
has made. Lack of ships is not
only responsible for coal shortage
and 'coal-less Mondays, but also
the freight embargo and sugar
shortage. The oil industry is suf-
fering. Pacific tankers have been
cut SO per cent, gulf tankers As
per cent; Great Lakes mercantile
shipping has lost a total of 60
freighters. No laborer can be as
sured of permanent employment IN
less our ships are kept running
against the menace of the Hun
submarine.
There Is only one way to keep
the ships building and moving, and
hat is for every patriotic artisan
to give his most earnest, conscien-
tious labor to his government as a
shipyards volunteer, willing to work
at high wages in building fabricat-
ed steel ships"
Esmeralda county men are asked
to see j. G. Thompson at Goldfield
Immediately. He will be in his
office in the Nixon building all day
Monday to receive applications. He
has all blanks and information, and
will cheerfully answer any ques-
tions.
Most of the positions offered to
reserve members will be we'll com-
pensated. Only occasionally does
some branch of the government
want unpaid helpers.
No obligation exists to respond
to a call when it comes; the reserve
merely presents the opportunity,
trusting to the judgment and pat
riotism of its members to lead them
to accept, If they should accept in
view of all the circumstances and
of their country's need.
Only men who are really ready
and able to respond when al OPP
portunity for service ONE should
enroll. The reserve does not want
to be swamped with records of
men who are merely expressing pat
riotism but who, when it comes
down to business, are not going to
be able to work where they may be
needed.
Men especially needed are me-
chanics, artisans, skilled laborers
of all kinds, men who can work
with tools. There is great need for
such men now. Every available
man of this sort must be enrolled
promptly or war work will be re-
tarded.

May Have Highwayman

1t is believed by Tonopah au-
thorities that in Carl F. Austerman,
arrested for passing forged checks,
they have the man who held up the
Club saloon and obtained 5000 three
weeks ago. Austerman answers the
description Of the holdup in a gen.
eral way, but it is not believed that
his identity will ever be established
positively because the holdup was
masked.
