IS GREAT GAMBLE
AT6 Cents SHARE

National leasing stock at its current
quotation of six cents a share is with
out any doubt at all truly remark
able speculation, says Rice's Indus
trial and Mining Age. AS a mining
gamble ii towers high above other
stocks selling at similar low levels in
the cents-per-share division. The COM
pany is steadily at work, employing a
large number OF miners, drifting on
the National vein in ground which it
holds under five-year lease adjoining
the National mine, at National, Nevada,
which has a record production OF
$7,000,0 900 from what was probably the
highest grade gold ore known to min
ing history. Success may be chroni-
cled any hour, in which case an ad-
vance of 1000 per cent and upward is
probable in the market quotation of
these shares.
The goal of the National Leasing
management is the revelation of such
sensationally rich ore as attracted the
attention of the mining world to the
National Leasing Company's famous
neighbor few years ago. So remark
able was the output of picture ore
by the National mine that the United
States Geological Survey sent repre-
sentatives there to make an investi-
cation of the district The opinion of
these government biologists, formed
of the camp in general and the Ma
tional mine in particular, has been
made a matter of official record, being
issued as a bulletin by the department
named. The bulletin says in part
THE one real important develop
ment in the camp is the gold shoot of
the National mine. Encountered forty
feet below the surface in the Stall
shaft, il has been followed on the dip
of the vein a distance of about 800
feet, the stope's length reaching $50
feet Within this distance the vein
carries much coarse electrum (silver-
gold alloy. mostly on the footwall
side, and much of the ore is extremely
rich. averaging $40 to $50 to the pound.
This high-grade ore is so irregularly
distributed that entirely barren quartz
may adjoin streaks of rich quartz a
foot or two in width"
This official data warrants the ex-
pectations of the National Leasing
management that similar high-grade
ore is possible of disclosure at any
moment in National Leasing territory.
1t will be noted that the bulletin de-
scribes in connection with the finding
of rich ore in the National mine con
ditions similar TO those which are at
present prevailing in the drift follow
ing the same vein in National Leasing
ground.

FREIGHT MOVING IS
URGED THIS WEEK

CARSON CITY, January 14.-W. G.
McAdoo, director general of railroads,
has designated the week January IA
to 21 inclusive as "Freight-moving
Week" and asks that the whole ma
tion unite in a supreme effort to clear
up the congestion in freight traffic
now existing in many sections of the
country. The movement of food, fuel
and other vital necessities is being
seriously hampered by this congestion
and unless freight is promptly re-
moved by consignees from freight
cars it will be impossible to relieve
the present situation. Railroad cars
cannot be used for warehouse pur-
poses without grave injury to the
American people. 1t is the imperative
duty of the hour for every citizen to
do his utmost to move freight from
cars and from railroad stations i'm
mediately upon its arrival.
The direetor-general' letter in part
reads:
IL wish to appeal to the people of
the United States to observe the week
beginning January IA and ending jan
uary 21 as "Freight-moving Week"
and | earnestly request the Governors
of the various states, the public utili-
ties commissioners, the mayors of
cities and towns, the state councils of
national defense, the federal and state
food and fuel administrators, the
chambers of commerce, and other
business organizations, business men
and shippers generally, trucking com
panies and all railroad employees, %
organize locally and to make a SUI
preme effort during this week to un-
load freight cars, to remove freight
from railroad stations. and to clear
the decks for a more efficient opera
ton of the railroads of the country.
An earnest and united pull all
along the line will achieve wonders
In this direction. We can help our
selves and relieve an immense amount
of suffering if we attack the problem
vigorously and in the true spirit OF
cooperation"
1t is our earnest request that Ne
gada again show her patriotism by
cooperating TO the fullest possible
extent with Mr. McAdoos appeal.

COME TO END OF
A MEATLESS DAY
Food Administration,
Washington, DC,
January II. 1918.

JdHudIy IL, 1910.
Hoyt, Food Administrator,
Reno, Nevada:
In view of animal situation in Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, California,
Nevada and Arizona, due principally
to transportation, as discussed in de-
tail at recent conference administra-
tors here, we have reached decision
that states mentioned may remove re-
striction until March 18th on eating
beef, mutton, lamb and veal on meat
less days and meatless meals. New
conservation program designates
Meatless Tuesdays and Porkless Tues
days and Saturdays; also one meat
less meal each day.
Definition of meatless for state s
mentioned permits, until March 18th,
the eating of beef, mutton, lamb and
veal. In other words, no pork, bacon.
ham or lard should be eaten on meat
less days or meatless meals, thus max
ing porkless days and meals for states
mentioned, which we wish adhered to
closely
You may give proper publicity to
make above effective throughout your
State.
Please emphasize that this is local
to far-Western states, for transporta-
ton reasons.

WHERE HINDUS ARE SUPREME
Have No Equals In Balancing, Rope
Dancing and Other Performances
OF Like Nature.

IT have seen many balancing, rope
dancing and tumbllng performances In
circuses and theaters. but they are not
equal to those of the Hindus In India"
says a traveller. ut Is not unusual In
India to see girls In their teens bal.
ancing themselves on their heads
with their heels In the air. or walking
ON their hands and their feet with
their bodies bent In curious pastures.
I once saw a performer In India
place her head In a hole 20 inches
deep and emerge with a bracelet that
vas concealed in the sand.
"One Of the most interesting per-
formances Is that of women who dance
on ropes. One plays a musical In
strument. while the other goes through
gyratlons, holding a number Of ar
ticles In her hands and taking care
not to drop them. The Hindus exe-
cute any number Of sword-balancing
feats. The most difficult perhaps Is
that In which the point Of a sword
is placed on the chin Of the per-
former"
