H|GHGRADERS HAVE
REDUCTION PLANT
STOLEN ORE is RECOVERED BY
NATIONAL NINE MAN
AGER

There have been many umo of
high-grading operations carried on
at National since the National Mines
company closed down its property a
few months ago, but little attention
was given the reports as they did
not seem to have come from a re-
liable sOurce.
However, it now seems probable
that high-grading has been going on,
as a seizure of ore valued at about
$500 was made here by the authori-
ties last Monday. The r was
turned over to r. S. Bolan superin-
tendent of the National Mines COM
pany. No complaint has Deen made
and it is not probable that there will
be any arrests, as there does not
seem to be a disposition to prose-
cute.
From What can be ascertained the
high-grade rock was brought in
from National last week by three
men and turned over to two others,
and by them taken to a cabin a few
miles from town. A leak" occurred
and the cabin was raided Monday,
the two men being caught in the act
of reducing the high-grade into bull
lion. They acknowledged that the
rock came from the National Mine
company's old workings and Super
iatendent Bolan took charge of the
stolen ore.
In the cabin was found a small
pan-arrastra mill, engine, c%rucibles,
in fact, a complete plant for turning
high-grade ore into bullion.
The amount of ore seized was
about 70 pounds and is said to be
worth better than $40 per pound

Man Caught i'm F1ywheel

G.. H. Hyatt, son of c. w. Hyatt,
a Fallon rancher, was caught in the
flywheel of an engine used in baling
hay and was whirled around for 30
seconds, his body striking the ground
with terrific force with each revolu-
ton. He lost his coat and 1t re-
quired 81 stitches to repair the dam
age to his body, but he will be as
good as ever after his injuries lave
healed. Workmen threw their arms
around the engine belt after the
power had been shut off and quickly
stopped it, all that saved Hyatt's
life.

MASON VALLEY Mines WORKED
ACTIVELY DURING PAST YEAR

it is rumored that negotiations for
the sale of the property have been
completed and that it will change
hands in the near future.
Leasers have been working all
year 1T the Montna-Yerington
group of mines from time to time
and have made several shipments
of ore. The property is in the hands
of the leasers.
Leasers have also been working
on the Moore group of claims, owned
by the Nevada-Douglas Consolidated
Copper company on the east side of
the valley, and several shipments of
high-grade ore have been made by
them during the year.
The Thompson Smelter
The Mason Valley Mines COM
pany's smelter at Thompson was
blown in in February. The manage
ment has had considerable difficulty
in securing an adequate supply of
coke, and due to this lack of fuel
have never been able to operate
more than one furnace. The diff
Guilty in obtaining coke is not due
to the scarcity of that article, but
mainly to lack of cars for its trans
portation.
The one furnace operating is
treating between 900 and 1000 tons
of ore per day, which gives the plant
an output of between 100000 and
10000 pounds of blister copper
per month. Should the difficulty of
securing coke be overcome, and it
appears that it will very shortly, the
smelter is ready to blow in another
furnace. This second furnace will
greatly increase the tonnage of ore
treated and will correspondingly in
crease the mining activity through
out the entire district.
The Kennedy Consolidated at
Buckskin, after being idle for sew
eral years, was unwatered late in
the summer by ]. +. Cowan of Salt
Lake and he has been getting the
property shaped f r extensive devel-
opment for the past several months.
An air compressor and electric hoist
ing equipment have replaced the
former steam power plant and the
power extended to the property.
The entire district has been active
and prosperous. Each and every
property in the district has unavoid-
ably been limited in its production
because of the shortage of coke,
since the only available plant for
treating the pres is the smelter at
Thompson. The smelter manage
ment has made every effort to re-
lieve the situation, and at present 1t
seems it Is about to succeed. The
shortage of labor has become quite
noticeable of late, but as yet has not
seriously hampered operations and
an even greater activity than has
been enjoyed during the past will
doubtless be in evidence through
put the coming year.

Attorney General Thatcher has
decided that Nevada will be entitled
to an inheritance tax from the ei-
tate of the late Senator Francis G..
Newlands. No petition for admins

state. Whether the state will be en-
TITLED to an Inheritance tax on che

that it is believed the Courts will be
called on to decide. The attorney

military age with the idea of inspir-
ing them to volunteer and do their
plain duty to their country.
Owing to the fact that tanks are
built to operate in mud and not on
frozen ground, the Britannia will
first visit the large centers Of popu-
lation in the south-Richmond, At
lanta, Augusta, Birmingham, Mobile,
New Orleans (at Mardi Gras) and

six machine guns and weighs thirty

PROVEN SWAMP ROOT
AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms Of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DIR. kilmer's Swamp Root which, so
many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is a splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound has a gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who may
be in need of it. Better get bottle from
your nearest drug store, and start treat
ment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

TERMS OF TEUT0NS
REJECTED BY RUSS
BOLSHEVIKl LEADER DENoUNCES
HYPOCRlTICAL PROPOSALS
MADE BY GERMANS.
Resumption of Fighting Now Being
Discussed by Russians in Case
Counter Proposals Fail to
Bring Settlement.

Petrograd.-The peace terms pro
posed by the Germans have apparent.
ly been rejected by the Bolsheviki fac
ton. The Bolsheviki foreign minister,
Leon Trotsky, declared Thursday that
the government of the Russian work
ers would not consent to the German
peace proposals.
Nj. Trotsky's declaration was made
before the central committee of the
council of soldiers and workmen's del
egates, during an address in which
he denounced in scathing terms Ger
many's hypocritical peace proposal
Asserting the government of Russian
workers would not consent to such con-
ditions, he said that If the central
powers did not agree TO free disposal
of the destiny of the Polish and Let
fish nations it would be urgently nee
esSary to defend the Russian revolu-
ton. He said the needs at the front
would be satisfied, whatever efforts
might be necessary.
Representatives from all the fronts
who attended the meeting declared
the troops would defend the revolution,
but said bread and boots were nee
esHry.
Ii is reported that the Russians now
have made counter proposals to the
Teutonic allies which are under con
sideration and will be discussed at the
next meeting of the peace delegations
at Brest-Litovsk
The proposals embody the immedi
ate evacuation of occupied territory
pending referendum, the evacuated
districts to be governed by locally
elected representatives of the T eople
who are to be assisted by tie local
militia.

FATE Of RAILWAYS
LIES IN CONGRESS
PORTATION TO CONTINUE
DURING PERIOD OF WAR.
Administration Measure Guarantees
Government Will Compensate Pri-
vate Owners and Keep Roads
in Good Condition.

Washington.-Th American rail-
roads are not to be turned back to
their private owners until congress de-
crees, under the terms of the admin
istration's railroad bill introduced
January 4.
The measure, introduced in the
house after the president made his
special address to congress, carries be-
hind the full weight and influence of
the chief executive.
Section Ii of the measure reads
"The federal control of transportation
systems herein and heretofore pro-
vided for shall continue for and dur
ing the war and until congress shall
thereafter order otherwise
The bill was introduced by Chair
man Sims of the house interstate COM
mittee, who will handle the legislation
in the lower branch. The measure is
understood to have been prepared
after consultation with Director Cen
eral McAdoo.
1t carries with it guarantees that
the government will compensate the
private owners on the basis of the
met railway operating income for the
tnree years ending June 30, 1917, slip
unlates that the government shall
maintain the roads in as good condi-
ton as they have been in under pri-
vate control; and authorizes the use
of government funds up to $oOO,OOO,-
600.
Prompt action will be taken by con
gress in the passage of the measure
though there are objections to the bill
from the more radical elements
Among these the contention is that the
rate of compensation is too liberal
There is also demand for outright
government ownership. For this Sen
ator Hiram Johnson of California has
fatty declared. He holds that the state
of affairs which made necessary gov
eminent operation of the roads proved
the inability of the private managers
to meet an emergency.

TEUTONS REJECT I
RUSS DEMANDS
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS TEMPO
RARiLY SUSPENDED BY
THE GERMANS.
Demand Of Russians That the Confer.
ence Be Resumed at Stockholm the
Rock Upon Which a Continual
ton of Pourparlers Split.

Washington.-The peace negotla-
tons between the central powers and
the Bolsheviki government in Russia
have been temporarily suspended" by
the Germans.
From the meager advices received,
1t appears the rock upon which con-
tinuation of the pourparlers split was
the demand of the Russians that the
conference be resumed at Stockholm
instead of at Brest-Litovsk. Dissatis-
fled with the proposals for peace made
by the Teutonic allies before the re-
cess of the Brest-Iitovsk conference,
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, had been insistent on the de-
liberations being held OH neutral soil
instead of at the German eastern head
quarters.
Germans Equally Firm.
The Germans, however, had been
equally as firm in their determination
not to treat with the Russians at any
other place than Brest-Litovsk.
German advices Saturday We're TO
the effect that the Bolsheviki dele
SoltSs Oli liltlllS illtil liit representa-
tives of Teutonic allies W Pre- at Brest-
Litovsk awaiting them, had started for
this town, but nothing has come
through to show that these had any
foundation, in fact. The decision of
the Germans to discontinue the sit
tings was arrived at during crown
council held in Berlin Saturday, which
was attended by Field Marshal Won
Hinderburg and General Won Luden-
dorff, first quartermaster general.
Reason for Refusal.
A belated dispatch from Berlin gives
as the reason for the refusal of the
Germans to consider Stockholm Il
place where peace might be advanta-
geously discussed, the fear that Brit
ish, French and American diplomats in
the Swedish capital would, by in
trigue, render all endeavors futile.
Dispatches from Berlin Indicate that
although the reichstag parties in the
main are supporting the government,
considerable political unrest is preva-
lent, ap1 that strong efforts are being
made % hole the Socialists in line.
The Socialist organ in Berlin charac-
terizes the situation as extraordinarily
serious.

YOUNG AMERICANS
TO FILL UP RANKS
WAR ARMIES WILL BE RAISED
FROM CLASS ONE UNDER NEW
SELECTIVE PLAN.
All Youths Who Have Reached the
Age of Fl Since June 5, 1917, to Be
Required to Register, Adding
100000 Men a Year.

Washington.-All men for the war
armies still to be raised by the United
States will come from class one under
the new selective service plan. That
means the nations fighting is to be
done by young men without families
dependent upon their labor for sup
port and unskilled in necessary indus
trial or agricultural work
Provost Marshal General Crowder
annouA ,ed the new policy in a report
on the operation of the selective draft
law submitted Thursday to Secretary
Baker and sent 10 congress. He says
class one should provide men for all
Rmilitary needs of the country and to
accomplish that object he urges amend
ment of the draft law so as to provide
that all men who have reached their
twenty-first birthday since June 5,
1917, shall be required to register for
classification.
Fair Distribution.
Also in the interest of fair distribu-
ton of the military burden, he pro-
poses that the quotas of states or dis
tricts be determined hereafter on the
basis of the number of men in class
one and not upon population.
Available figures indicate, the re-
port says, that there are 100000 quail
flied men under the present registra-
ton who will be found in class one
when all questionnaires have been re-
turned tiu the classification period
ends February Is. To this the extern
sion of registration to men turning 81
since June 8 of last year and there
after will add 100000 men year.
Class One EIigibIes.
Glass one comprises Single men
without dependent relatives, married
men who have habitually failed to sup
port their families, who are dependent
upon wives for support or not usefully
engaged, and whose families are sup
ported by incomes Independent of
their labor; unskilled farm laborers
unskilled industrial laborers, regis
trants by or in respect of whom no de-
ferred classification is claimed OF
made, registrants> who fail to submit
missionaries and in respect of whom
no deferred classified ton is claimed OF
made, and all registrants not included
in any division of the schedule.
The plan places upon unattached
single men and married men with in
dependent incomes most of the weight
of military duty, for the number OF
men in the other divisions of class one
is very small.
First Draft a Success.
General Crowder finds that the first
draft surpassed the highest eXpecta
tons and pays high tribute to the
thousands of civilians whose service
made the plan success.
