EARLY-DAY BONANZA IN HUM
BOLDT COUNTY HAS
> RESUMED

F.. H. Vahrenkamp, president of

erty in the Humboldt range, was an
arrival yesterday from Inlay and
leaves today for Reno and Lake

He stated that the company is

ore shipping from the Inlay mine
will start the first of next week.
He said that there were large
bodies of shipping ore opened in
both properties.
At the Rye Patch, which is M

mense amount of bullion in the
early days, the work is again in

MASON VALLEY
MINES WORKING
LARGE PRODUCTION OF COPPER
AND CONCENTRATES BEING
MADE

Copper mining has made con
siderable progress in the Mason Val
ley district during the past II
months. Living conditions are ex-
cellent, and the mines are within a
few miles of Y%erington and Mason!
The former town is the seat of
Lyon county and a center for the
agricultural interests in the fertile
Mason valley. Skilled labor and
miners are in demand.
The Bluestone Mining & Smelt-
ing company, at Mason, is shipping
a considerable quantity of oxidized
D d ore to the Thompson smell
ter; in addition to this it is now
regularly shipping ~flotation concen-
trate to Utah smelters. The prop
erty of this company, formerly own
ed by j. d. De Lamar, has recently
changed hands at the reported fl
cure of $1,500,00O, but this has
not been officially confirmed.
The new owner is the Dominion
Reduction company, with h%eadquar-
tiers at Montreal and New York.
Maurice w. Summerhayes, late of
the Porcupine-Crown at P%orcupine,
Ontario, has taken over the man
agement at Mason. A new 4OO-ton
flotation mill has recently been
completed, and started dressing sui
phide ore, which carries an aver
age of 2% copper. Plans provide
for duplication of this plant, and
it is intended to proceed with this
new work almost Immediately.
Copper production of the Mason
Valley Mines company for May was
1~,759,72S pounds, against 1,05S,4OO,
1,455,2OO, 1,243, 600 and 1,536,60O

LOSE TRADE IN
SOUTH AMERICA
GERMANS HAVE NOT UaiNED
COMMERCIAL HOLD THEY
CLAIM

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July g.
Persistent stories of Germanys
commercial achievements in South
and Central America and the gen.
orally accepted boast that German
goods had completely captured
those markets fade under the in
tense light of careful investigation
into merely German propaganda,
circulated with the idea of soaring
all other competitors out of the
field.
William c.. Wells, chief statistican
for the Pan-American Union is
authority for the statement that
for several years before the war
Germany actually was losing ground
in South and Central America and
that the greatest gains were made
by the United States.
Just prior to the European
war;" says Mr.. Wells, German
trade in most of Latin America was
in danger of immediate dissolution.
For 80. years, it is true, German
trade showed a large and progress
sive growth-but this was almost
entirely at the expense of France.
In 1911, German trade reached it's
apex. In Argentina was centered
the German efforts to capture Latin
American trade.
"In fourteen of the Latin-Ameri-
can countries, Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts made by Germany
to acquire or to preserve the trade,
the result had been practically
failure. The imports from Ger
many in these countries was only
slightly over IL per cent of the
whole and less than one fourth Of
the imports from the United States.
Wonderful stories have been
told and are yet being told of Ger
man commercial success in Latin
America. The spreading of sucE
stories is and always has been part
of the German program. It creates
an atmosphere which is supposed to
have a depressing effect upon rivals.
The English, French, Italian, or
American exporter is apt to be
reticent about what he is doing in
foreign countries. Not so the Ger
nan. He claims everything and
then some"

COMO CON-. Is
ACTIVE MINE

Quincy Gordon some three weeks
ago took charge of the property of
the Como Consolidated Mines COM
pany at Como, New. Charles La
Camp is in charge of the mine as
foreman and the mine is being
opened up with a full force of min
ers of two shifts of eight hours
each.
Extensive repairs have been made
and the mill is running full capacity
each "a hours.
The property is advantageously
located, being IL miles from Day
ton. An electric power line runs
across the property, which is con-
nected by telephone with Reno, Car
son and Dayton.
Recent developments have shown
up ore conditions previously unsus-
pected and the future prospects for
the property are, indeed. most pro-
missing, the output being limited
only by the scarcity of good miners.

To Cultivate More Land

A plan to put under cultivation
1000 acres of waste land in the Fall
Ion district is under consideration
by the government, with the CO.
operation of the Nevada college of
agriculture. While on a recent trip
to Washington, Dean Knight of the
college of agriculture conferred with
A.. r. Davis, head of the reclama-
ton service and submitted to him
"a proposition for using government
tractors to reclaim marshy and
sagebrush-covered waste lands.
Davis approved the plan and pro-
missed aid SO that at least 1000
acres now idle can be put under
cultivation next year.
Eut We all must keep a plugging
That, some day, we may come
home.
So now, once again I'll tell you
Mothers, sisters. s~weethearts all,
Cheerful letters make us feel new,
Better fixed to meet each squall.
Cheer up, people, and We'll get them
If it take us years to come,
For you know We'll only stop when
There's a finish to the Hun.
SO I'll close this little lecture,
And l know you'll do your best.
Get the Kaiser?" we'll you bet'cher
Till that time there1l be no rest.
And now, don't forget those letters
Bout the sad, sad things at home.
Cause you know we'd fell much
better
If you'd leave sad things alone.
So goodbye now, and God bless you
For the good you've done so far.
Help us, people, and Well help you
To retain this land of ours.

SHOCK TROOPS
HELP HARVEST
LEAVING CITIES TO AID FARM
ERS IN SHOCKING THEIR
WHEAT

WASHINGTON, d. c., July s.
"Shock troops are busy in Ameri-
can wheat fields, as we'll as on the
western battle front. When the
German war lords command an ad-
vance at any cost, shock troops are
sem forward to buy yards of ground
with thousands of lives, but the
American agricultural shock
troops" advance in a different man
ner. They are town men who have
volunteered to help farmers cut
and shock their wheat, and thus
are doing their part in making the
battle line firm.
Here are two instances, reported
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, of how towns and cities
are helping to meet the need for
harvest workers on American farms:
A South Dakota county has or
ganized all it's towns. When labor
is needed all business places close
early and the TOWN. HeH ~ III
automobiles to every quarter OF
the county. When they come to
fields cut but not shocked, they
get out and shock, and then pro-
ceed to other fields needing them.
They don't talk about pay or who
is doing the work. If the farmer
wants to donate the money which
he would spend for labor to the
Red Cross that is his business,
says a letter from South Dakota,
and | think that is where most of
the money will 60"
Shock troops" are cutting and
shocking wheat in Warrick county,
Ind, also. Volunteer business men,
clerks and laborers in the towns
finish their town work and then
are taken in automobiles to help the
farmers. In one evening 40 men
shocked more than so acres of
wheat.
These forces have been organized
through cooperation of farm help
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, county
agents, county councils of defense
and other bodies.

Posse Captures Man

A man known as The Kaiser
who last Tuesday night attacked
the matron of the county hospital
at Battle Mountain, has been capur-
ed at Nelson, a siding on the West
ern Pacific railroad, and is now in
Jail at Battle Mountain. He was
waiting at the siding to catch a
freight train when the posse found
him. There was some disposition
to hang him, but cooler heads in
the posse saved him from quick exc
cution and he was returned to Bat
tie Mountain. The Kaiser" is a
blacksmith by trade and was run
u of town for forcing his atten-
tions on the nurse. Returning, he
gained admission to the hospital
and hid in a room, attacking the
nurse when she entered. The nurse
is still suffering from shock and
wounds and has not been able to
speak since the attack.
