FORMER GOLDFIELD BOY
Is CITED FOR BRAVERY

George Harris, formerly well
known here and who achieved con-
siderable notoriety for his connec-
ton with events that followed the
Healy divorce case, is now with the
American forces in France. He has
been "over the top" three times, ac-
cording to news received here. and
has been cited for bravery in action.
Harris enlisted in San Francisco
about a year ago and was cited in
orders of the day some time ago, so
it is evident he has been in the thick
of the recent heavy fighting if he
escaped becoming a casualty until
then. Harris is now about 20 years
of age and from a fine physique
that he showed while here is said to
have developed into a powerful mar
who, with his well-known daring
and propensity for hunting trouble,
evidently is making things interest
ing for the Germans.

SHIP. ORE BY
PARCEL POST

Ore from the Jack" Davis lease
on the National Mines company's
property at the camp of National, in
the northern part of this county, is
now being sent here by parcel post.
The ore is being received by c. p.
Hoskins and is being stored at his
warehouse until there is sufficient
for a shipment to a smelter.
Mr.. Davis, who is associated with
a number of Winnemucca people,
has been working this block of
ground for some time. A short
time ago a rich streak of ore was
cut in the workings and since its
disclosure a considerable tonnage of
the ore has been extracted. The
ore is shipped in sacks, each weigh
ing rs pounds, and is hauled here in
the regular automobile stages.
From what can be learned a consid-
cradle number of tons of the ore Is
to be handled this way as the leas-
ers have found out that it is cheap
er to ship this way than by regular
freighting outfit.
Up to a short time ago the lease
was producing silver ore assaying
up to as high as $4,000 to the ton,
and this Is the ore that is being
shipped at present. Recently the
pay streak developed into extremely
rich ore, carrying equal values in
gold and silver, some of which runs
as high as $50 to the pound.
The Davis lease development is
being watched with keen interest by
the mining men of the district, as
the disclosure of the high-grade ore
may mean that another rich shoot
has beeen opened on this famous
property.

MARKET FOR BURROS

K. L.. Pullen of Gerlach, in the
northern part of the state, has tele-
graphed to Sheriff ingalls, asking if
burros a be bought here, how
many there are and how much they
cost. He wants an immediate an
swer. Judging by the noise they
make at night, the burros are count
less. 1t is the general opinion, how
ever, that the market could readily
be cornered by an energetic person
with far less than $1,000,0O0 and
that there is no hurry, for no burro
has ever evinced a desire to leave
Goldfield of it's own free will. What
Pullen intends to do with the bur-
ros is unknown.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 22.-Old-
timers on the Seattle water front
are waiting with interest and fore
boding to see if the intimation given
out by steamship companies is car
ried into effect. This was that the
companies were seriously consider
ing the signing on of women as
mattresses aboard vessels plying
from Seattle to Alaska and in the
California trade. If the plan is
adopted, the women will become
members of the crews and some sort
of uniform will have to be adopted
for them.

SALT LAKE CITY, July %. =
Conditions in Sweden are pictured
as anything but pleasant by "A. p.
Anderson, president of the Nor
mon mission in Sweden, writing to
the Mormon church authorities here
under date of May 81. President
Anderson says that the effects of
the war are being keenly felt in
Sweden and that the people general
ly are existing on the cheapest kinds
of food, which, he adds, is resulting
in considerable sickness.
President Anderson says that in
Malmo a peculiar disease has start
ed which is spreading throughout
the country, causing alterations of
the stomach, brought on, the doc
tors say, by eating u%npalatable food.
The food referred to is the Swedish
sweet turnip.
Eggs, on the date of President
Anderson's letter, were quoted at
IA cents each, and fresh meats at
nearly 50 a pound. A personal &C
%quaintance of President Anderson
had just sold a COW for slaughter, he
writes, for which he received 1900
crowns, or $514. Cheese could not
be bought, and milk, butter, cere-
ais and fruit were also unobtain-
able. Railroad fares were double
their old schedules.

BLOODY RUN FIND
IS REPORTED RICH
TUNGSTEN DISCOVERY SAID TO
BE VALUABLE BY
LOCATORS

The tungsten strike made a short
time ago IA miles north of Win
nemucca has attracted considerable
attention, according to F. r. o'Leary
well-known mining man and civil
engineer, who owns a half interest
in one of the properties, which was
discovered by J. l.. Workman, says
the Reno Gazette.
The ore, which runs s per cent,
has been opened up in a quartz fis-
sure vein on the surface at several
points for over five hundred feet.
S. K. Bradford, formerly of Tono-
pah, where he was engaged in civil
engineering work in the early days
of the camp, has taken n lease en-
part of the claim and several other
leases will probably be let in a few
days.
The tungsten properties at Mill
City are very active, says Mr.
O'Leary and loading platforms from
which leasers can load their ore
into cars are at a premium.
The claims located by Workman
and O'Leary were located several
years ago by Winnemucca men and
prospected for silver and lead to d
certain extent. Little silver was
found and outside of putting up the
monuments the original locators
paid no more attention to the claims

valuable and was needed SO badly

slopes 22,95S tons of ore, dry
weight, which averaged Sc per cent
copper.
During the current year devel-
opment has been extended to lower
levels. A cross-cut was run at the
1100-foot level which has opened up
two shoots, one of them $50 feet
long and from 2 to 20 feet wide, the
other lis feet long and from 5 to
25 feet wide. A cross-cut has also
been run on the 1200-foot level
which has just cut what is doubt
less a continuation of one of these
shoots, and where cut it has a width
of 35 feet. The ore is all oxidized
and averages about s per cent cop
per.
THE vertical distance from the
top to the bottom of the ore which
we have now opened up is about
400 feet. How far it extends be-
yond this can only be determined
by additional development.
The mine has responded to devel-
opment remarkably well, and furth-
er work should be prosecuted vigor-
ously both in the way of following
the vertical continuation of the
known shoots and also exploring the
contact literally for other similar
zones of enriched replacement"
The Boston News bureau, which
is usually pretty good authority on
all mining matters, says:
Eventually the company will
have it's W smelter to handle not
only concentrates, but a constantly
increasing amount of direct smelt-
ing ores, both of which now go to
the Steptoe Valley smelter of the
Nevada Consolidated company.
To-day the company has a 1000
ton mill in operation, but additional
capacity will be needed at some fu-
ture date. The plant will have a
new location, however, as the pres
ent site, selected for experimental
purposes only, is not the best avail
able Ely Record.

LOS ANGELES, July 90. - The
desire to aid the government il it's
new characterization program by
assuming the financial and supervis-
Orial responsibilities of the Los An
geles settlement house, an institu-
ton situated in a district here where
OF the 1000 residents representing
30 na%tionalities, only one is an
American.
Approximately 20 per cent Of the
persons in the district who have re-
ceived moral, social and material
aid through the settlement are Mex
leans. The others principally are
Italians, Syrians, Greeks, Russians
and Hungarians.
The ideals of America and democ-
racy are fostered in these people
through the work of the settlement
along social and educational lines.
Hundreds of these foreign-born resi-
dents have displayed a real patriotic
zeal and have supported the govern
ment Loyalty in the prosecution OF
the war, according to Miss Hoffman.
They have observed strictly the food
conservation measures, planted and
carefully tended val gardens, sup
ported the Liberty Loans and thrift
campaigns and aided the Red Cross,
she said. Many of the boys and
girls have also pledged themselves
voluntarily to love the country of
their adoption and to respect the
flag, she said.
Every effort has been made to in
struct them regarding the laws and
moral standards of America and to
teach them to observe them.

CRIPPLED FLYER
HOPS TO BASE
AVIATOR in PALESTINE LIMPS
TEN MILES OVER ENEMY
GROUND

LONDON, July 90. - A trench
newspaper published by one of the
British divisions in Palestine gives
the following account of an unusual
feat by a British airplane in the
fighting zone:
zone of our aviators was forced
by engine trouble to land ten miles
inside the Turkish lines. His en-
CINE was misfiring, but produced
sufficient power for taking and
short hops, but not for flights. Pre-
sumably the valves of three cylin-
ders had broken or stuck.
But the pilot did not give up
hope, and succeeded in taking the
whole way to the British lines over
the level sand. On the way he
crossed a Turkish encampment, and
his undercarriage brought away a
clothes line and a number of Turk
ish shirts. The pilot was attacked
by several d~etachments armed with
rifles and machine guns, but they
invariably fled when he charged on
them with his gun. Two or three
German airplanes dived and fired
bursts at him, but luckily hit no vi
tai part"

The Record is in receipt of the
annual report of C~oppermines COM
pany for the year ending April 80,
1918, which makes a splendid show
ing, and gives promise for a great
future for the property. The report
also shows that the company is in
strong financial position for its
present needs, although additional
financing may be necessary when
the management undertakes a more
extensive reduction and smelling
plant. In the first five months of
1918 the company turned u about
