DeaT MOTIFS.
Your letter dated July 23rd received
today. Boy, you cannot imagine how
good it made me feel to receive it. 1t
was interesting from beginning to
end appreciated more than can say.
You say | never mentioned anything
about receiving letters from you. Your
letter of July 23rd is the third re-
ceived from you to date. If | failed
to mention it before it was because OF
an oversight. Will be more careful
next time.
Looked through the records todav
trying to locate a record Of Harry
Riffs arrival. Was unsuccessful
Think it because of the short time
he has been here. Will make another
effort soon. In the meantime will
write to the address given me. Gee!
but it would be great 90 see the old
boy once more. 1t would act like a
strong stmulant. Would imagine N.Y.
self back in the States do that very
! often anyway, but when | awake and
find that it was all dream, | take a
deep sigh, stretch myself, and go to
work with determination stronger
than ever The resolve and thought
that some day conditions will be more
prospective holsters me up, and
strengthens my resolution to buckle
down and see it through.
You say Bennie has entered a
clerks school. That's fine. Maybe
eventually he will be sent to The Cen
trail Records Office. Wouldn't that
be great? I would be willing to stay
here for life if he was sent here. The
boucoup good times we would have
together would make the her fellows
blue with envy. Suppose ben, Harry
and were all together. Oh, Boy. but
wouldn't that be the stuff? Guess !
had better ring off of that, am get
ting delirous.
Morris your spirit Of backing the
boys to the limit is splendid. AS long
as the folks back home are behind
us, no obstacles are too great to over
come. We're in this to see it through
and by all that's good and holy there's
no sinking on the part of the bows
over here. At times it seems hard,
and is hard but with the thought ever
present that some day we will reap 4
Just reward, we grind day in and day
out with never a murlnur of dissent.
VI course, there is little growing
and grumbling among ourselves at
times, but it is only natural among a
crowd of stays. All want the war
over with but not until we are assured
OF a just and durable peace. That bar
barlan among nations must not AGAIN
be permitted to roam at large ana
cause suffering and agony to fail up-
on more civilized and humane nations
Guess you folks are reading with
PRIDE of what the American bows are
accomplishing on the battlefield. AL
though we boys behind the lines do
not share the glory Of the BOYS at
the front, we are none the less proud
OF what they are doing, and our chest
bulges out when we thing of that
great country from which we came.
Never was | more proud to be an
American citizen than am TODAY.
Old Scout, l've seen only two, yet
firmly believe we are citizens of IN.

added:
1.-The more we speak of peace the
means of success have plunged him
into kind of warlikc folly which
makes conciliation impossible. y Sc %'
We must therefore hold out. We can
trust the army and the high command,
but popular confidence is tottering.
Why? Because Germany having no
enemy in the Fatherland, becomes too
oblivious Of the risks incidental to
war.

forth all our strength into the war and
forget our differences. Then we may

MEN TO Be CALLED
first FOR SERVICE
CrOwder Issues Statement for New
Registrants

Washington, Sept 10.-Youths of
10 and 20 years and men between the
ages Of 32 and SO, inclusive, who reg
ister Thursday will first b, called to
the colors. Provost Marshal Gecnral
Crowder announced today and until
the supply of available fighting ma
tcrial in their ranks has been ex-
hausted older men will not be induct
ed into service.
Questionnaires will go out first to
registrants of those ages adm local
boards have been ordered to proceed
with their speedy classification so that
some of them may be called in Octo-
Der.
CrOwder Asks Help
Pointing out that in classifying men
above the ages of 81 the army draft
would be attacking the country's
economic life and entering an uncx-
plored field" General Crowder in a
public statement to all employers and
industrial representatives basought
their aid in applying the plans of in
dustrial deferments SO that the "main-
tenance of the military establishment
of the national interest during the
emergency" may not be interfcrcd
with.
Before issuing his appeal, General
Crowder had again pointed out that
in estimates of experts the war de-
paFtment could expect to draw from
the classes above 81 only 6O1 900 men
physically fit for military service and
not entitled to deferred classification
on the grounds Of dependency or oc-
cupation. He also said that men Of
10 and 20 called were entitled to ad-
mission to the students training corps
at the 400 secondary schools with
which the war departments had made
contracts, but added that this corps
would number 10000 men, while
over 100000 youths below 81 will
register Thursday. Methods of select
ing those to be inducted into military
service, and educational training
corps, he said, were the concern of
other branches of the administration.

SEE GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR BULLION MINE
PROPERTY IN YELLOW PINE
DISTRICT is OPEN
ING ORE

During the past few months some
very interesting development work
has been going on at the Bullion
Mine. Some months ago the main
crebodies were cut by a fault, and
since then the management has been
working with the object of locating
the continuation of the o~rebodies. 1t
is thought by Consulting Engineer
e. l.. Talbot of Salt Lake City, who
is on the ground that the mystery
has been solved.
Mr.. Talbot, like most mining en-
gineers, dislikes any undue publ
city until all his statements can be
substantiated, but is prepared to
say that the present outlook of the
Bullion Mine is very encouraging.
The new orebodies, which are in
reality a continuation of the old,
have not been penetrated sufficiently
as yet to determine their extent.
Some distance to the southwest
o: the present workings there is a
generous outcroping which looks en-
couraging enough to warrant some
development.
There are lei men at the mine
with Supt. ]. B. Phelps in charge,
Mr.. Talbot states that his impress
sion of the Yellow Pine district is
most favorable so. far, although he
las not had the opportunity fol-
very close inspection. 1t is his opin-
len that future development of this
district will prove most gratifying

PRO-GERMANs IN JAIL
ENGAGE IN CONTEST

William Ditmyre and Robert Mar
tin, now in the county jail for
alleged pro-German activities, re-
Gently engaged in a boxing contest
in the Jail corridor. The contest
arose from Ditmyre's objections to
the grub. The contest vas staged
under London prize ring rules, with
Frank Bergen, another alleged pro-
German, as referee. A number OF
prisoners, including other alleged
pro-Germans, acted as towel swing
ers and seconds. The affair was not
witnessed by anyone but the prison
ers, but, according to the report
furnished Tailor Bogard, Ditmyre
took the first round and Martin
furnished Ditmyre a black eye in
the second, ending the contest. Mar
lin was awarded the decision.

'UR| CURTIS HEARS
INTERESTING CASE
HAPPENS TO VISIT SUPREME
COURT ON NOTABLE
OCCASION

The Jim Butler West End Apex
case was argued in the United States
supreme court at Washington on
March 81 last. AS Is we'll known,
the case involves a determination Of
the mining rights of the Curtis and
Eureka claims, on side. The
Curtis claims were located in 1901
by Uri B. Curtis, one of the pio-
neers of the district. He located
for himself and certain associates.
They subsequently conveyed the
property to the Tonopah Fraction
Mining company, and the latter was,
in turn, absorbed by the Jim But
Ter Tonopah Mining company.
Uri Curtis left Tonopah about ten
years ago. He is now a resident of
Toledo, Ohio, and is engaged in the
automobile business. Recently he
was in Washington on a sightseeing
trip. On March 81 he casually
stepped into the chamber of the SUI
preme court to see what that great
tribunal looks like in action. He
was surprised beyond measure to
find that the court was then and
there engaged in a consideration of
the mineral rights of the property
he had located and owned SO many
years ago.-Tonopah Bonanza.

SODA INDUSTRY
NOW IMPORTANT
REGION Is GROWING
RAPIDLY

Owens Lake is to have another
soda plant. Manifesting the same
desire as has been shown previous
ly by each plant outdoing the one
which went before, the latest VEN
ture is to be the largest in it's first
inception of all.
Mr.. Watson, formerly superin-
tendent of the California Alkali COM
pany, is chief engineer of the new
corporation and with his experience
in the alkali business and the wa
tiers of Owens Lake, the success of
the new plant should depend only
upon the ability to get machinery
and equipment necessary.
The location will probably be the
southern shore of the lake where
the clay land for watts can be found.
About four miles of railroad will be
necessary from Olancha east. Five
hundred thousand dollars will be ex-
rended during the present year..
The price of alkalies has risen so
rapidly during the past few years
that Owens Lake has become a very
attractive proposition. This will
make the fifth plant on the shores
of the lake, being the third to be
started in a little over a year.
At Searles Lake potash is the prin-
cipal product. Owens Lake also con-
tains potash in commercial quanti-
ties and it is only a question of time
until the extraction of this valuable
salt, formerly a German monopoly,
will be a daily process in Inyo
county.
Operators at Searles Lake have
cast a curious eye Inyoward and it is
not at all beyond the range of posi-
bility that still other investors will
become financially interested liz the
cpunty which contains tie naticr's
greatest natural deposits of alkaline
salts.--Owens Valley Herald

GOlOF|ElO NURSE
is SUMMONED
TO COLORS
MISS MARY CURLEY no JOIN
DENVER HOSPITAL
UNIT

Miss Mary E. Curley, for the past
three years a nurse In the county
hospital, will leave Thursday morn
ing for Camp Grant, Rockford, ILL.,,
to become a member of base hosp:-
tai unit No. 20, recently organized
at Denver under direction of the
Denver chapter of the Red Cross.
Miss Curley has been a member
of the Red Cross since last July,
when she offered her services to the
government, and yesterday received
4 call for active duty.
The unit she will join has been
outfitted by the Denver chapter at
a cost of $4,000. 1t contains
over rs nurses and as a complete
base hospital unit will have about
$50 members, including ambulance
drivers, mechanics, stenographers,
physicians and others necessary for
the formation of a complete unit
for foreign service.
The members will be trained for
wal work through service in Amer
lean army environments before be-
ing sent abroad, but it is believed
it will be but a short time before
Miss Curley is in France, in view
of the constantly mounting casual
ty lists of the American forces and
the big demand for trained nurses
at the present time.
Miss Curley has been considered
by local physicians one of the most
competent nurses ever, employed In
Coldfield hospitals and her addi-
ton to the forces of Uncle Sam will
be a valuable one. Miss Curley was
trained in St. Joseph's hospital in
Denver and graduated from there
three and a half years ago. She is
a daughter of Pat Curley of Gold
field and a sister of Miss Katherine
Curley, employed in the office of j.
e. Humphrey here. Her brother,
John Curley, is now in the aviation
corps, stationed in New York.
Miss Curley was the first Gold
field woman to volunteer her SER
vices to the government for active
wal work and the first to be called
to the colors and as a testimonial
to her spirit the G0ldfield chapter
of the Red Cross will tomorrow
evening, in Elks' hall, give a dance
at which the people of the town
will have an opportunity to bid
farewell to her.
