local MAN ERECTED NOTED
STATUE IN NEW YORK HARBOR

When the imagination of Grant
Miller ran riot in the Exchange thea
ter Wednesday night to the extent
that his fancy conceived the statue
of Liberty somewhere in the dim
of the rear of the house, 1t
recalled that Tom Rea, a mining
men we'll known here, superintendent
the erection of the statue on Bed
loe's island in New York harbor
Rea was at that time employed by
the construction company that Sc
cured a contract for the erection OF
the statute. That Tom made a good
Job is evidenced by the fact that the
famous work of the French sculptor
Bartholdi has for 33 years with
stood the harbor storms that sweep
the statue in the winter time and
the hordes Of Jersey shelters that
bite it in the summer time.

PLANT
AGAIN WORKING
MILL is EXPECTED TO TREAT
THIRTY THOUSAND
TONS

The Giroux plant at Kimberly,
which has been shut down for sew
eral weeks, started operations
again Friday. During the present
month the mill will handle from
$1,000 to 10000 tons of ore daily.
which is about one-half capacity.
Ii is expected that by April the
Plant will be operated to its full
capacity of from 10000 to $4,000
IONS daily. With the resumption
of work the working force will be
increased 20 $50 men, including the
50 employed in the mill.
The starting again of work at the
Giroux has necessitated putting on
the night shift train leaving East
Ely at 1O:45 o'clock, which made
its first trip to the mines Friday
night, after a period of annull-
ment covering the time the Giroux
works have been down. According
to present plans this train will be
run for the next three months, by
which time it is expected the com-
pany will have provided sufficient
dwelling accommodations at Kim

at Ely and East Ely, and going to
and from their work by train.

NEVADA At TOP
IN ENL|STMfNTS
HEADS STATES in PERCENTAGE
OF VOLUNTEERS FOR
ARMY

CARSON CITY, New, March 16.-
Figures received by Adjutant Maui
rice ]. Sullivan from the adjutant
general of the army, Washington, D.
c., show that Nevada's patriotism,
as reflected by volunteer enlistments
for the regular army, is the highest
of any state in the Union. Nevada
has gone lover the top" 900 per
ZEN in the quota of enlistments
called for, her volunteers from April
1, 1917, to Feb. &c, 1918, reaching
a total of 1447, as against a re-
quired total of 1872.
Western states make a much bet
ter showing than any other section
of the country, with Nevada stand
ing at the head of the list, giving
to the nation nine times the number
of volunteers called for by the gov
eminent as her proportion for the
regular army, and followed in Sc
quence by Montana at 1878 per
cent, Utah at $1,000, Oregon at
472.10, Wyoming at 432.41, Idaho
at 36O.92, Washington at $3.50 and
California at 337.57.
Nevada's record in volunteers is
in keeping with her performance in
every other call upon her patriotism
and in the present world
crisis, as it was her proud distinc-
ton to be the first state to over
subscribe it's quota on the first Lib
erty Loan, narrowly missing making
the same record or the second loan,
and in Red Cross and in other &C
~tivities pertaining to the war Nevada
Loyalty and zealously bears her ban
ner of the "Battle-Born State" at
the very head of the procession of
patriotic commonwealths.
The average percentage of the vol
unteer enlistments compared to the
special quota for each state, based
upon the official figures received by
Adjutant General Sullivan, is 207.16
per cent. Nevada, therefore, head
ing the list at 1921 per cent, is
696.05 per cent above the average
for all of the states.
The following list shows the
standing of the various states in RI
ito of enlistments to the quota called
for as volunteers for the regular
army:

CALAvADA MINE
IS DEVELOPING
xEINs ARE BEING EXPLORED
AT DEPTH MAR
LUNING

LUNING, New, Mar. 15.-With-
out in any way interfering with the
extent of the operations on the 1000
and 12OO-foot levels of the Gala
vada mine at Luning, the manage
ment has decided to do some more
exploratory work on the Chief claim
where there is a very good show
ing. Work has been resumed on
the east drift which, at a depth of
so feet, is advancing along an oxi-
cized vein entirely in garnetite. This
vein has about six inches of oxidized
ore on the hanging wall.
At the main workings the cutting
of the station on the 12OO-foot
level-in the Wine being sunk from
the northwest drift at the 1000
foot level-has been finished and
sinking has been resumed. The
bottom of the Wine is now in pink
colored lime.
The northwest drift on the 1000
is advancing between a leached iron
gossan and lime-mostly in lime to
save timbering, with the thickness
of the gossan unknown as yet. A
cross break in the lime has just
revealed some high-grade copper
carbonate.
The usual progress was also made
during the week OF the southeast
drift on the 100-foot level, which
is advancing between garnetite and
lime along a vein of leached iron
sulphide for the most part, with
lunches of chalcopyrite scattered
through it, the latter having es-
capped the teaching process.

ATHLETIC MEET
IS ABANDONED
ANNUAL EVENTS AT RENO AND
EXCLAMATION CONTEST
CALLED OFF

The board of control of the Ne
vada in~terscholastic league has aban-
doned plans for the annual field
and track meet and declamatory
contest at Reno, owing to the recent
government order Withdrawing spec
ial railroad rates to high-schOol and
college students. Plans for the an
nual events were being arranged
when the order vent into effect.
1t is now proposed to hold track
meets in different parts of the state
on the same date, with tennis and
the defamation contest eliminated.
1t is proposed that the meet in
this district, for entrants from To-
nopah, Goldfield and Manhattan, be
held in Tonopah, the meet to be in
representative, sem to Tonopah at
the expense of the university, but
it is not believed anything regard
ing this can be done in Goldfield,
where the schools suffer from a lack
of suitable material at the present
time.
Athletic contests for children OF
the Sundog school are planned for
the early part of May and it is be-
lieved this will be the only activity
in athletics in the local schools this
year.

BIG CROWD SEES.
RED CROSS SHOW
DICT ON BENEFIT PER-
TORRANCE

All the local Alan Dales report
that the school show last night at
the Exchange theater for the benefit
of the Junior Red Cross met with
their entire approval and that in
several Of the numbers are skill was
displayed by the juvenile vaudeville
performers.
Despite the strict school rule that
there were to be no encores. the big
crowd that filled the house to over
flowing insisted and then demanded
and finally secured an encore from
Ellen Dcugherty in her dancing and
called for more for several minutes
in other high-class numbers on the
program. The act of Miss Dough
erty will be repeated at the Junior
Red Cross show to be given in the
Exchange theater next Tuesday
night.
An unusual and gratifying feature
of the show was the fact that there
was not a number on the program
that was not high-class and that was
not fully appreciated by the audi
ence. The show house proved too
small for the crowd and many were
turned away, standing room being at
a premium long before the beginning
of the performance.

MANY THOUSANDS APPLY FOfy
CLERICAL WORK in
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 10
That American men and women are
eager to accept every opportunity
to help in the nations greatest I'M
dertaking is evidenced by the re-
Spouse received to the announce
ment of the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission of the need for
general clerks. The commission sent
cut a call for clerks to be employed
in the departments in Washington
and Jan. s, Feb. 9, and March .
we're set as examination dates.
About $4,000 persons applied for
admission to these examinations. A
large percentage of the applications
came from persons whose sole pur-
lose in seeking government employ
ment was to help keep the wal ma
chine moving. This prompt and
heavy response has made it un-
necessary to hold further examina-
tons for general clerks in the near
future. Examinations 1or sIeno-
graphers and typewriters and for
clerks trained in certain special or
technical lines r still being held.
The most pressing need OF the
government service in Washington
right now is for a large number OF
we'll qualified ste%nographers. The
Civil Service Commission urges
persons who are equipped to pass
the stenography part of the examin-
alton to apply at once.
Examinations are held at least
once a week in $50 of the princi-
pal cities. Definite information and
application blanks may be obtained
from representatives of the Civil
Service Commission at post OFFICES.

Elko Again Over Top

Again northern counties have
gone over the top in a war drive.
The last of the four taxes on
liquors imposed by the government
last fall are being collected and in
the district comprising Humboldt,
Lander, Eureka, Elko and White
Pine counties the collections amount
de to the staggering sum of $780,
600. This tax is in addition to the
regular internal event tax. The
result of the collections shows the
counties to have the honor of con-
tanning the heaviest drinkers in the
western part of the United States.
The amount is more than that COL
lected in the district that contains

BOYS RESERVE
TO Be TRAINED
SHORT COURSE TO BE GIVEN AT
UNIVERSITY OF
NEVADA

All Nevada boys between the ages
of 16 and 81 are to be given an op-
portunity to help in val work, with
government recognition, at the same
time earning excellent pay and
learning useful trades, according to
plans just formulated by the Boys
Working Reserve of the Department
of Labor, of which Rev. Brewster
Adams of Reno is federal state d.
rector for Nevada.
"All high-school principals and
enrolment agents Of the public
service reserve have been enlisted as
enrolment officers in this fine
movement" said Mr.. Adams in Reno
today, Sin an attempt to reach every
patriotic boy in the state. One
months intensive course in agricul-
ture, gas engines and tractor opera
ton will be given at the university
of Nevada, commencing April l and
running until July 1, so boys being
handled each month. For this
course there is no expense whatever
other than board and room at Lin
coin hall, for which a special rate
of s25 for the month has been ar
ranged.
These boys will be doing real
war work, just as surely as their big
brothers in the trenches. Victory
for our allies depends not on arms
alone, but equally on the products
of our farms. Members of the Boys
Working Reserve receive full gov
eminent recognition, in the form OF
certificates and badges or enrolment,
with service bars added on compile
ton OF teamwork through special
periods.
1.-THE movement opens very aus
piciously. The state board of edu-
cation has instructed each principal
that full credit shall be allowed the
boys while they are at the univer-
sity. Closest cooperation exists be-
tween the reserve and the state
council of defense and the public
service reserve.
Parents of Nevada boys, you
must do this little added bit.
You must find this $25 to send your
boys to the university of Nevada,
where they will receive in one month
a course more valuable perhaps
than a year of schooling and where
they may serve their country in its
grave need. Their moral welfare
will be looked after as carefully as
at home.
Nevada boys, enroll - it makes
no difference whether you r a
high-school student or not. This
opportunity is offered to all, and
the appeal comes direct from your
government"

slide on the Southern Pacific at
Bonner lake is how eight men of a
working crew were able to escape.
They had no time to run to safety
when they heard the lookout call
that the slide vas coming and had
to let themselves go with it. They
we're caught in soft snow and rode
with it in safety through a mass of

shed was ripped out for 100 feet
and timbers were carried to the

This more than one-half of all their

amount to nearly $4,000 100000.

II is seen, therefore, that farm mort

Is the highest rate of increase in any
section Of the country. The South
Atlantic shows an increase of $780,.

that while the largest amounts of

has been greatest south of the Poto-

THE nineteen states having the
great bulk of life insurance farm

cording to the Agricultural Year
Book, these nineteen states produce

quarters of the bulk of the country's
