GERMANS HANG ALL
HOPE ON WILSON
FEAR HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
CARRY HIS PROGRAM

Berlin, (Friday)- The summary of
the address delivered by President Viii
son before Congress Monday which
reached here presumably is inada-
quate hence there has been little com
ment in the newspapers.
The large majority of the Germans
believe in Wilson'S good intentions,
and their hopes are all centered in
him, but there is general fear that he
will be unable to force his program
through.

TUNGSTEN PRODUCED
INHUMBOLDT COUNTY

s. H. Crittenden, who returned
from the new tungsten camp about
nine miles northwest Of Mill City
this morning, reports that the camp
is not booming but mining men are
coming In quietly and securing
ground and leases. The best evil
dence of production is ore teams
going out constantly to Mill City.
The Friedman lease, exposing
ere in the north end of the district,
is now producing about a a a
day. Production Is limited only
by capacity of ore bin and abil-
ity to hoist. A new 20-horsepower
hoist is now on the ground, so
that part of the difficulty will soon
be remedied.
1t is reported that the Sutton
property and that Of Tom Durham
Rave been sold at large figures. On
this property, according to n of
the owners ore to the value of a
quarter million dollars has been
blocked out in little more than a
month and $4,000 extracted and
milled.-Silver State.

w. c. Bright reports conditions
most favorable at the Mountain
Top where he and j. A. Egger have
a lease. The Lookout and Annex
which are under lease to Bright,
Egger and Greesman are flourish
ing. Greesman who has the work
in charge and who is noted as one
of the most successful miners in
the camp, has opened up a promis-
ing body of ore.
This is a large, w~ell-defined vein
of mixed lead-zinc ore, which is
being shipped as such. The leasers
are holding about 100 tons of ex.
c~eptionally high-grade zinc until
they can command a better price.
At the New Year, where j.. A.
Fredrickson uncovered about three
feet of mixed lead-zinc ore, they
have already taken out about 25
tons, which will ship to advantage
as mixed ore and the vein is Wild
ening and proving of better grade
every day.
At the Blue Buzzard, Fayle and
Ellis have installed a new hoist
and the situation is unusually en-
couraging.

real value of the mine lies in the
utilization of the enormous reserves
of milling ore which can be treated

CALAvAOA CUTS
vein At DEPTH
GOOD RESULTS REPORTED IN
EXPLORING ON DEEP
LEVELS

O
most interesting piece Of develop
ment in progress at the Calavada
mine at this time is the southeast
drift on the 100O-foot level. which is
showing steady improvement as 1t is
advanced. In addition to the high
grade copper content which distin-
guishes so much of the Calavada
ores, substantial values in gold and
silver are found in this drift.
A picked sample recently assayed
gave returns of 36.6 ounces in silver
and $3.50 gold to the ton. The
sulphides are still leached, with
lunches of ~chalcopyrite scattered
through. There has been no change
in the northwest drift on this same
level, which is following an oxidized
vein between lime and monzonite
and occasionally showing a little
copper carbonate.
The Wine which is being sunk
from the northwest drift reached the
! 12O0-foot point on the first of the
month and has just passed the foot
wall of a large fault zone, on the
side of which is a vein carrying con-
siderable sulphide, some of which is
assayed for other metals and its par
ticular Importance is in indicating
that the zone of permanent sulphide
Is not far below in the ore-channels
which are open and leach more
readily.
The winze is not on an ore-shoot,
though there is an important one
about 100 feet to the north, and the
bottom is in yellowish lime. A
station will be cut on the 1900, after
which sinking will be resumed to
the 1900.
President Todd of the Luning-
Idaho company has just finished his
report for 1917 and printed copies,
together with a map showing the
work on the central portion of the
property, have been sent to all the
stockholders. OF the underground
development work shown on the
map, 1241 feet has been done since
the last report. The Hahn tunnel
has been extended $40 feet and
laterals aggregate over 200 feet.
This tunnel has already been run
200 feet farther than was thought
would be necessary (from surface
indications) to reach contact with
the granite, where a large body of
ore was expected. This work is en-
couraging to the management, as
proving a greater width to the zone
than was figured on originally.
The report further shows that 143
feet of development was done in
Stockham tunnel No. l and laterals,
most of it in oxide ore and in places
showing stringers of rich sulphide
ore where it had been protected from
the teaching process. One of them,
about eight inches wide, assayed
$1.20 in gold, 1918 silver and 21.8
per cent copper, a total value of
$135.06 per ton. Stockham tunnel
No. 2 is now being run to reach this
body of ore at 1872 feet greater
depth, which is expected to be suffi-
GENTLY deep to be below the action
of the elements and teaching.
On the easterly end OF the man
is shown the Jones cut, where high
grade ore was discovered, some of 1t
assaying 582.2 ounces silver, .48
to the ton. This vein is narrow and
very flat and is about 1000 feet east
of the main workings.

A COMMUNICATION
Editor Goldfield Tribune:

EQ1tOr GOlQIlelQ Ir1Dune.
Some weeks ago you carried In
your news columns a brief item
stating the loss in. student registra-
ton It the University of Nevada.
No cause for this was given, but
doubtless most readers c~orrectly
assigned it to war conditions.
The effect of the val on higher
education is a matter that is CIV
ing the educators of the nation
some concern. The editorial in
the December number of the Ex-
pertinent Station Record, of the
States Relations Service, is given
over to the subject. Quoting this
editor:
"The beginning of the new
academic year this fall was
awaited by most institutions
devoted to higher education
with unusual uncertainty and
apprehension. The declara-
ton of a state of war in April
had profoundly effected these
institutions almost Immediate
ly. Attendance, which in most
colleges and universities had
been steadily rising from year
to year, was suddenly depict
ed as the call came for one
form or another of Nation
service, In some places the
campus emptying almost over
night"
The loss of students at the uni
versity of Nevada for the first
semester of the present school year
was about % per cent of the aver
age for the last school year. This
is a condition that Is regretted, but
it is a condition prevailing all over
the country. Regarding such los
ses in registration the editorial
above quoted has this;
THE data available indi-
Gates very clearly that a con-
siderable shrinkage in total stu
dent enrolment in higher edu-
cation occurred quite general
ly throughout the country.
For the Immigrant institu-
tions (such as the University 1
of Nevada) this apparently
averaged slightly over 20 per
cent. . = = Decreases of near
ly SO per cent we're encounter
ed in a large university of the
middle west and a small south
western college. The average
percentage of falling off for
the group, however, was pro-
badly less than for many of
the oldest and best known uni
versities, press reports an
nouncing, for instance, de-
rease of about 40 per cent
for Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton"
The Nation in this time of peril
has drawn heavily on the techni-
cal schools for skilled young men,
and while it is a matter of regret
that the institutions for higher
are so depleted of stu
dents, there is the satisfaction and
gratitude that when the time came
for such service our young men
found ready.

Compulsory military service Is now
among the questions TO be settled in
the near future. We confess TO having
entertained strong feelings in that di-
rection at one time; but We do not feel
so strongly that way now. We feel
that developments have shown that
universal compulsory military service
is unnecessary. What might have hap
pened had we been forced into the war
without the experience, cooperation
and assistance Of England and France.
there is no telling. 1t is quite possible
that we would have been defeated be-
fore we could have commenced to get
ready. But as II was we raised a
mighty army and put it across the seas
and in little more than year, during
which man for man and against heavy
odds our troops proved themselves su-
perior to what were universally con-
ceded 10 be the best troops In the
world. We think 1t Is going to be de-
sirable to maintain a much larger reg
ular army establishment tnan we nave
been maintaining; but we do not think
it is going to be necessary or desirable
to make soldiers Of all Of our young
men. At the same time. however we
are not going to deny the fact that
America has been benefited tremend-
ously through the physical develop
ment OF her young men in connection
with military training.
