DRAFT
CALL is ISSUED
NEVADA To FURNISH 179 MEN
IN FIVE-DAY
PERIOD

Adjutant General Maurice Sulli-
van was yesterday given notice by
Provost MARSHALL General Crowder
that Nevada will be called upon to
entrain 179 men for Camp Lewis, over
a five-day period beginning Friday,
April &c. This number represents
12h per cent of the states original
quota of 1875. The manner of APP
p%ortioning the 179 men among the
various counties of the state is left
solely to Mr.. Sullivan's judgment and
discretion.
When asked last evening whether
or not he would call upon each coun-
ty for 12k per cent of its original
gross quota as Crowder has done in
the case of the state, Mr.. Sullivan
answered that he was not yet pre-
pared to say what plan or basis will
be followed.
The fact that in some Of the small
counties the number of Class / men
available for call on the draft are
very small and will have to be CIV
en- consideration, MI. Sullivan said.
He does not wish to have local
boards draft men in the second
class.-Carson News.

BOOM COMING IN
DIVIDE DISTRICT
ACTIVITY AT GOLD MOUNTAIN
PRESAGES OPENING OF
MINES

If present indications are m sort
of a criterion, the Gold Mountain
district will, in the very ear flu
ture, experience a healthy boom.
With several companies already
operating and others planning to
start development work, there is
sure to be a settlement established,
which may grow into a substantial
camp.
At the Tonopah Divide, Gold
Zone, Divide Extension, Brougher
Divide, and Hasbrouck properties,
great activity was in evidence, ar
renters rushing back and forth, con
crete mixers busy, and excavations
being made for buildings.
On the Gold Zone, a boarding and
bunk-house is being constructed, or
rather, put together, Is the struc-
lure contains four rooms and was
purchased from Gavin Johnson, who
had it on a mining property be-
tween Gold Mountain and Tonopah.
1t is being moved in sections to
Gold Mountain.
An engine-house and blacksmith
shop are being erected by Louis
Gebhardt, the local builder, who be-
fore his work is done, will also have
erected a large gallows frame for
the company. The big gas engine
and hoist have reached Tonopah and
will be taken to the Gold Zone next
week.
New buildings r going up on
the Divide property, where Is
miners are employed. Yesterday
being an exceptionally fine day, a
large number of visitors yer at
the mine, to see for themselves how
things are shaping up there.
Work is being done on the Divide
Extension and Hasbrouck proper
ties, and the Brougher Divide has
a campaign of development map
Jed out that will be N of the most
COMPREHENSIVE ctOI dtICLlPSOu tAOAO'
The distance from Tonopah to
Gold Mountain, the scene of the
new discoveries, is about six miles,
and the road is in good condition.
Autos are making the trip in 10
minutes.
The country for several miles
around Gold Mountain has been To-
gated. and prospectOrs may be seen
almost every direction. Some
are at work, while others are look
ing things over" hoping to figure
out a fraction here and there.
One prospector who spent nearly
all of yesterday in the Gold Noun
tain neighborhood, declared that the
new locations in places are five
and six Deep" and predicted thai
there would be some real trouble

found.-Times.

SHIPS RYE PATCH ORE
DUMPS TO SHELTER

Actual shipments of ore from the
dumps of the famous old Rye Patch
mine, about twenty miles northeast
Of Lovelock, were begun wednes-
day and 1t Is expected that regular
shipments will go forward from nov
on until the dumps are cleaned up,
says the Review-Miner.
In the early days when the mine
"a at the height of its production,
any ore that was below SIS to 800
value was thrown on the dump, as
the pan amalgamation system of
milling was incapable of taking the
value out of poorer ore. Mining
men who have sampled these dumps
within the past two years have
stated positively that the dump as
sayed sufficiently high to warrant
shipping to smelter.
F. H. Vahrenkamp, manager OF
the property, recently closed a deal
with the U. s. Smelling, Refining
and Mining company to handle this
Gre at the Kennett plant.

Water Wanted For Wheat

A committee appointed by ran
cheers of the Lovelock valley is con
ferring with Winnemucca ranchers
regarding the disposition of water
of the Humboldt river. The com
mittee is asking that the gates OF
the different dams along the river
be left open for 20 days so as to
permit a continuous flow to reach
the Lovelock valley and that water
be not used for this period to flood
meadow land. There is now a great
shortage of water in the Humboldt
and the Lovelock ranchers have
sown big crops of grains for which
the water is needed. 1t is said
that 10000 acres of grain have
been sown in the vicinity of Love-
lock in accordance with the govern
ment request for the planting OF
large grain crops.

cess and turn out potash almost

AT last they pulled the plugs in

Liquid sank, barring the sides. The
crowd pushed closer; held its
breath. An inch was exposed. 1t
glistened white. Another inch. The

grew steadily as the liquid receded.
The bottom itself was covered with
a two-inch layer of really truly

whirred and the boilers have hum

cessation, stopping only when 1t was
necessary to clean up or make re-
placements. With potash at 5000
t. $3.50 a ton according to grade,
time was money. Every hour that
the plant stood still meant a loss OF
nearly $1,000 or SIS the minute.
Four additional units are being de-
signed by Grimwood along new
lines, based on his experience with
the present plant.
when these units are completed
the capacity will have been increas-
ed to perhaps 1000 tons a day, 3OO,-
coo tons a year not counting the by
products of borax and soda. Even
at the pre-war price of $40 a ton,
this potential potash output will re-
present a value of $4,000 600 per
annum, a sum far greater than the
yield of all the mines during the
height of the silver boom in Hell's
ante-room."
Within the next couple Of weeks
an eminent engineer is to visit Dixie
Valley and make an exhaustive re-
port. He comes in the interest of
eastern capitalists and by the time
he arrives it is expected the deep
layer of rock salt will have been
penetrated and samples of the lower
brines made available. Fallon

COURT GIVES DECISION
AFFECTING MINING CLAIM
DECISION RENDERED IN ACTION
TO RECOVER ON
NOTE

Judge NJ. R. Averill recently gave
a decision in the Ease of G. w.
Thompson against M. w. Mitchell,
a case of interest to many people
because it involved the Helen claim
in the H~ornsilver district. The
plaintiff was awarded $566.66, or
one-third of the amount sued for.
The action in which the decision
was rendered has indirectly tied up
since 1910 the Helen claim, a frac-
ton adjoining the Silver King
group at Hornsilver. 1t was brought
10 recover on a promissory note for
$500 made June /, 1911 by M.
w. Mitchell, G. E. Shannon and A.
r. Carton, former Goldfield men,
for attorney fees in litigation be-
tween the makers of the note and
H. E. Clark and E. l.. Stingley. A
mortgage on the Helen claim was
given with the note and the Gold
field law firm of Thompson and
Thompson assigned the note to G.
-, Thompson.
AS far as known half of the title
10 the claim is now owned by G.. w.
Thompson, while H. E. Clark, F.
]. Hangs. Floyd Cable and Augustus
Tilden are believed to own a SO
per cent interest, although the last
named is said to have disposed OF
his interest.

Potash las been creating no
small wave of excitement in this
community the past few weeks, but
!. new feature was added last We'd
nesday when R. H. Young of Love
lock took over 80 sections of land
located for potash in the Dixie Val
lev, representing over 10000 acres.
1t is understood that Mr.. Young
had something to do with the potash
enterprise of the now famous Scar
les Lake in San Bernardino county.
California.
Last week over 80 applications
we're made for potash permits In
the vicinity of Salt Wells, between
Fallon and Wonder, and as each
permit may be made for four sec
lions, it will be seen that quite a
scope of country was covered.
However, the real interest centers
in the Dixie Valley salt marsh where
excellent results have been received
from the analysis made for potash
from samples near the surface. Work
is now being carried on to drill
through the rock salt in order to
test the brine beneath, for this is
where the real values are supposed
to be deposited.
In view of the interest that is
being manifested locally in potash,
the article in the current number OF
Sunset Magazine, from the pen of
Victor Willard, has been read with
intense interest.
Mr.. Willard says:
ut was an exciting day when the
p ugs were to be pulled. the tanks
emptied of the Brine and the con-
iants-or the lack of them reveal

ing suspense out of every pore,

Mining Company Taxes Increase

Mining Company Taxes Increased
Information has been received by
the state tax commission that all
tie mining companies of the state
subject to a federal tax have accept
ed Attorney General Thatcher's
construction of the law, which is
that federal taxes cannot be includ-
ed in operating expenses when ar
irving al the amour to be paid in

commission met several months ago
it was learned that mining compan-
les had included the federal tax IN
their expenses of operation. The
commission then asked the attorney
