VIGILANCE CORPS
ORGANIZED HERE
BRANCH OF AMERICAN DEFENSE
SOCIETY HAS 100
MEMBERS

A Goldfield vigilance corps of the
American Defense Society was form
ed last night at a meeting held in
Eagles hall.
The corps was organized on re-
quest of the parent organization in
New York and the constitution and
bylaws of the American Defense So
ciety we're adopted. j. G. Thompson
was elected chairman, c. M. Fagen-
bush, secretary, and Ray Catalan,
treasurer. The corps will be gov
erned by an executive committee,
which will receive information from
a publicity committee. The society
now has over 100 members here.
The national society is incorporat-
ed under the laws of the state of
New York and the board of trustees
includes such well-known men as
Richard M. Hurd, president of the
Lawyers Mortgage company of New
York; Robert Appleton, publisher;
George F. Brownell, vice-president of
the Erie railroad; Bradley A. Fiske,
rear-admiral U. S. NJ, retired; Will
liam ~Guggenheim and many others
equally well known. The publicity
committee includes practically every
widely read author in the country.
Some of the purposes of the society
are: Universal service by citizens,
at the front or at home; universal
military training, adequate military
forces, government cooperation with
business, exposure of German atroci-
ties, the suppression of German-in-
spired peace propaganda, the en-
forcement of the death penalty in
America against spies and traitors
and the defeat of Germany.
Branches of the society in Nevada,
particularly that in Tonopah, have
been active and have done much good
in aiding in the suppression of dis
loyal persons.
The activities of this society, which
numbers among it's members the
most prominent mining and business
men of the town, have been little
known in the past, but much has
been done here and 1t Is believed
that further good can be accomplish
ed by a well-organized body. An ex-
ecutive committee will be elected at
a meeting to be held early next
week.

OJARRIES AT CARRARA
TO AGAIN BE OPERATED

The American Carrara Marble
Co., located at Carara, Nevada, on
the l.. v. & T. r. r., has just COM
pIeted the installation of a duplex
24O h.. p. Western gas engine, from
which a big 6600-volt generator
will be operated, and the manage
ments expects to start the saws
within the coming week.
At present the electrical work
alone is hating the saws. With
the completion of the generator
work the saw plant will be start
ed at once. On the stock pile are
sufficient blocks of marble to run
the plant for from three to four
months without turning a wheel at
the quarries, although the quarries
will be started after preliminary
work and strengthening of the rail-
road grade has been completed. -

BULL HAS
GOOD OUTLOOK
HIGH-GRADE ORE BEING SACK
ED FOR EARLY SHIP
MENT

Operations of the Reorganized
Blue Bull Mining company are re-
sulting in the extraction of high
grade shipping ore, taken from a
rather narrow vein that is being
opened by a Wine from the 100
foot level. Many high assays have
been obtained from this vein, the
latest average assay of Ore being
sacked returning over $500 per ton,
and the general average of ore
sacked from this vein to date being
estimated at over SIS per ton In
gold.
The ore carries free gold only and
is a light, porous quartz, containing
seams Of tale, in which the free
gold is also found. Samples show
many particles of rather fine gold
and the ore is identical in character
with the high-grade material that
was mined in the early days of
the camp on the adjoining Simmer
one property, a short distance
away.
After having cut this ore-shoot
by means of a drift on the 100
foot level, Manager Darcy extend.
ed a short raise and followed the
ore for some distance on an inter
mediate level above and then start
ed a winze which has progressed
for about 40 feet on the ore-shoot,
yielding from IL to 20 inches OF
this material for its entire depth,
The drift on the 25O-foot level will
be extended shortly to pick up the
ore below.

NEVADA RAND'S
OUTPUT GROWS
HIGH-GRADE ORE IS BEING
SHIPPED FROM PROP
ERTY

The Nevada Rand company, oper-
atlng a property in the Rand dis
trict in Mineral county, has just re-
ceived returns from a second car of
high-grade ore shipped to the Hazen
sampler. Secretary-Treasurer w.
Y. Rudderow states that the assay
en- this shipment ran $1O5.44 per
ton, $5S.44 being in silver values
end the balance in gold. This ore
was taken from new work in the
s,ope on the $50 level, where pros
pecting was begun in November on
ore running $50 per ton.
In November the company re-
ported a shipment of SIT ore from
the 150-18O level and the second
car is the result of prospecting at
depth.
Large bodies of good milling ore
ale proven in the mine and the per-
sistent efforts of the management to
develop a real producer are being
rewarded.
The Nevada Rand is closely con
trolled by Philadelphia and local
people and Is located about a mile
and a half east of the Golden Pen
mine, which has been a heavy pro-
Queer of high grade gold ore. 1t is
also about five miles southwesterly
from the Jumbo Copper Mountain
company's properties, which have
lately been proven at depth and are
row shipping a fine grade of cop
per ore.
The Rand district is east of
Nolan station-below Schurz-and
from late developments and activi-
ties promises to be n of Nevada's
heaviest and most substantial pro-
ducers.-Reno Journal.

ROUND MOUNTAIN
MAN MURDERED
JOHN McWILLIAMS SHOT WHILE
AT WORK ON
CLAIMS


John McWilliams, a resident of
Round Mountain for the last four
or five years, was murdered in cold
blood some time Monday afternoon
while at work on his mining pro-
perty three miles above Round
Mountain, near S~hoshone. McWil-
liams was shot through the head
With a discharge from a shotgun,
and his body was left lying in a
tunnel about Is feet from the por-
tai.
H. r. Kruger, a violinist, who
las been residing at Round Noun
tain, is held in the county Jail in
Tonopah, charged with the crime
of murder, although the evidence
against the man is wholly circum-
stantial.
Kruger had been out hunting,
ard 1t is suspected hat robbery
was the motive for the crime be-
oause nothing was found on the
!; erson of the dead man.
The body of McWilliams was dis
covered Monday evening by a Mr..
Schubert, who reported the matter
to Justice Al Morris, who ordered
that the remains be removed to
Round Mountain.
Kruger had carried a shotgun,
and it Is the belief of the officers
that he deliberately shot McWil-
liams in the back of the head and
then rifled his clothing of valuables
that we're in his possession.
McWilliams was between Sc and
so years of age and was highly
respected in Round Mountain,
where he. was formerly engaged in
business for four or five years. He
was separated from his wife Il
number of years ago. the woman
having since remarked. He is said
to have several sons residing at Nj
land, CAL, who have been notified
of the death of their father.
The evidence against Kruger IS
wholly circumstantial, but the au-
thorities believe that they will have
little trouble in securing a convic-
ton.
Little Is known concerning Kru-
ger. He has been living at Round
Mountain for some time, making
his living by working in the mines
at different times. as well as play
ing the violin. He does not bear
a good reputation, according to re-
ports from that town. Tonopah

Wrong Man Punched

F. Miller, a well-known Tonopah
man, recently was taken off a train
at Hazen by a constable, who had
received a t~elegraphed description of
c.. E. Hefner, who is wanted in To-
nopah on a charge of forgery. When
a Tonopah officer arrived in Hazen
he saw that a mistake had been
made, but Miller insisted that he
return with the officer in order
that he might prove that he was not
the man wanted.

G. NJ, bridgeport, Conn.-Little
development work has been done
on the property of the Lone Star
Consolidated company for several
years past and no part of the big
property can be said to have under
gone a thorough system of prospect
ing. Under the former control the
work was never conducted on a
scale calculated to produce the best
results, but arrangements are now
being made to resume operations on
q comprehensive scale and in ter
ritory Of great promise. This Is
in the northwestern part of the
property, where some indications of
good ore were exposed in leasing
operations a little over a year ago.
The company has been literally
financed and the new work will be
under the direction of one of the
most capable mining men in this
region.
b. G.. L., Denver, Colo.-Recent
news from the Pioneer district has
been distinctly encouraging and 1t
appears likely that a number of
companies will be operating in the
district in the near future. The
Mayflower mill is operating and

dated company in making prepare
tions to resume active work and

BEGINS BITTER
ABUSE OF FOCH
Won Ardenne Says Gener-
alissimo Lacks Initiative
As a Leader.
NO PLACE In HISTORY
Huns Campaign Of Public
ity to Set Ally Against
Ally in Rivalry.
NO PLACE In HISTORY

Amsterdam, Aug. 12.-On the eve
of the great Franco-American Of
fensive on the Marne and the
Franco British drive in Picardy, the
German press opened a violent cam
paign against Marshal Foch, pre-
sumably to console and amuse the
German public while 1t awaited the
| great victory" Ludendorff had
promised them.
Gen. Won Ardenne in a three
column article in the Berlin Tage-
| blatt called Gen. Foch in the
Judgment OF his Countrymen and
] Contemporaries" begins by denying
I that Foch is one of the "intellec-
tual giantsY of military history. or
even one Of the dominating char
ters.
He declares English critics have
declared Foch to lack initiative. Then
he asserts that Foch is at the head
OF a coalition army" all the parts
OF which represent separate inter-
| ests, while the English and Ameri-
cans in particular are in constant
rivalry"
After a long passage on the sup
posed using up of the allied reserve
army and an elaborate discussion
of Foch's alleged lack of an or
ganized stan, Gen. Won Ardenne
concludes as follaws:
FINALLY, when one considers that
Gen. Foch tried to give effect to the
so-called unity Of command by mix
ing up the separate contingents, that
he is now reproached-perhaps not en-
tirely without reason-with having too
greatly favored the Italian front and
that fresh regroupings are now in
preparation and partly carried out.
one must admit that Gen. Foch has
not quite corresponded TO the ideal
which the imagination Of the French
and the Italians had made of him.
In any case, the 67-year-old leader
has not got a bed OF roses
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. in an
article headed. More Bloodletting,"
says:
1T is evident from the simultaneous
and similar attacks OF the French on
the Aisne that it was not of their
own initiative that the English on
the Lys engaged in partial attacks.
which were too strong for mere re-
conaissances and too weak for an
offensive, with even the slightest pros
pect OF success. Doubtless both op-
erations were the results of Foch's
deliberations, and 1t would not be sur
prising II the fresh and bloody losses
were to considerably increase the dis
satisfaction about Foch's achieve
ment which can no longer be hushed
up either in Paris or London. 1t Is
true that Foch has a strong support
in Clemenceau. who can hardly drop
the generalissimo without exposing
himself I'd, the reproach OF having in
sisted upon his appointment"

viously inspired by the German gen.

CYCLOPS IS GIVEN UP
OFFICIALLY BY NAVY
Missing Golfers Crew Likely to Be
Struck from Rolls.

Onicial and formal r. !. T. for
the mysteriously missing collier
Cyclops. is about to be written by
the Navy Department. Secretary
Daniels yesterday took under con-
sideration the striking from the
navy rolls OF the men who were
aboard the vessel when she left
Barbados last March.
Heretofore all those entitled to al
lowances from the pay OF the naval
men aboard the Cyclops have re-
ceived their allotments regularly.
These allotments will cease when
the department declares the men Of
ficially lost.
This contemplated action by the
department. if ii should be taken as
is indicated. discredits the theories
advanced by naval officers here that
the Cyclops was captured by a Ger
man submarine. probably by forged
orders. with the conniyance OF
someone aboard the collier. and
taken to a German port. where her
cargo of manganese would be in
valuable.
Secretary Daniels said yesterday
that he had no special theory con-
cerning the Cyclops. "One guess is
as good as another" he said. Many
OF the navy officers incline to the
belief that the Cyclops went down
as the result of a sudden shifting
of her cargo. Others have other
theories"
Immediate and thorough search by
the navy after the Cyclops was
overdue failed to md any trace of
wreckage of her.
