Had Noah been in Goldfield short
w after 6 O'Clock Monday evening he
and his animals would have made
long strides for the malapai and
started shipbuilding at a gait that
would have made Hog island envi-
Gus. for at 6:15 it looked as if a
second deluge were on. The rain
fell in torrents for 80 minutes, the
streets were turned into rivers and,
to make matters worse, a cloudburst
struck, supposedly on the Goldfield
summit on the Ida road, and sent
big bodies of water through the
east and west sides of town, in the
path of the former cloudburst.
No damage was done except to
the streets. Sundog avenue was
washed out at Miner street and there
the water, falling into a gully on
the west side of the street, rapidly
washed away the embankment.
Continuing to Fifth avenue, the
torrent covered the street with mud
and debris, but the water, c%ontinu-
ing in the deep gullies left by the
cloudburst of September, 1913, was
carried west without doing damage.
According to the report of the
u,ootbor c~tatiOu seven-tenthS of an
inch of rain fell there, but the sta
ton did not receive the full force
of the storm and the fall was much
heavier in Goldfield.
1t was reported Tuesday morning
that the incoming T. & G.
train would leave Nina at noon and

WHITE %CAPS-CONS.
MERGER PROPOSED
HEADS OF TWO COMPANIES
NEGOTIATE OVER A CON-
SOLDATION

The departure of John H. Miller
and F. H. Murray on the same train
and bound for the same destination
yesterday morning awakened gossip
that has been brewing for some
weeks to the effect that an effort
is being made to secure the fusion
of White Caps and Manhattan Con-
solidated. The stockholders in the
Manhattan Con. are said to be will
ing to let go at most any price
trusting that a consolidation of the
two companies may end the eternal
bickering that has hindered devel-
opment.
McMurray has the confidence of
the Kirchen people and is said to
be vested with authority to close a
deal with Miller if the. latter can
be induced to shade his demands a
trifle for the benefit of the White
Caps.
Some weeks ago the Consolidated
shipped a carload of ore to the
Goldfield Consolidated mill for the
of finding which was bet
ter adapted to give the best extrac-
ton. These experiments have not
vet been completed and, when a
final report is made, the results will
go largely towards determining
what the two companies shall do to
get Observation-Disclosures

Miner Killed In Tonopah

James Domenici, an Italian miner,
was instantly killed when he fell
go feet into a chute on the 600
foot level of the Tonopah Exten-
sion mine at Tonopah. The acct
dent occurred a few minutes after
the electric power had gone of. 1t
is believed the man fell into the
chute in the darkness while at
tempting to reach the station to Sc
cure a lamp. Domenici was @

HORNED TOADS TO
SUPPLY new
INDUSTRY
RAILROAD MAN RECOMMENDS
FARMING OF VARMINTS
AT GOLDFIELD

Few people W. ate whale steaks
or bread without wheat flour before
the war, but they do now. No one
has ever adopted a diet of horned
toad on toast, but they will, accord
ing to J.. P. Thomas, general freight
agent for the Salt Lake route in
Los Angeles, who, in a letter to
T. e.. Maddox of the local office of
the Las Vegas and Tonopah road,
says:
81 believe we will be able to start
you in an entirely new line which
| understand the government is
now contemplating, and hat is the
farming of horned toads.
ut has been ascertained by the
pure food department that a GER
tain chemical treatment will make
these animals harmless and they
can be used for human consump-
ton. l believe Goldfield would be
an ideal location for a farm of this
character"
In discussing the proposition, Mr..
Maddox said, "Goldfield would have
many advantages over other dis
tricts for this enterprise, including
the essential holes for the toads,
which, l understand, is n of the
most important features of the
early development of the farms.
ut is necessary that, when mar
keted, the toads be fat, just as
mutton or beef, and in digging holes
for themselves, they necessarily
lose much weight, thereby lengthen-
ing the period between the time
when they attain their full growth
and the time when they can be mar
keted.
Il understand that in experiment
ing the government has kept the
toads confined, but this would not
be done here, as the desert pro-
Nlu0S a udIuidA AOOAAh6 oAoAAN
them and the numerous prospect
holes in this vicinity would provide
excellent places for their intensive
breeding. For a small sum guards
could be secured to patrol the holes
to prevent theft and at marketing
time they would be rounded up the
same as in the cattle industry.
THE yearly horned-toad round
up would be a big event that would
draw people from miles around this
region. l believe the tieing of a
bell on the neck of each toad would
simplify the roundup, but this
would meet difficulty in that each
new batch of toads would have no
bells, but they would at least lead
us to the holes.
Il believe the scheme is entirely
feasible and expect it to be in &C
tive operation here in a short time"

The French carried out raids on the
front between Montidier and Noyon
and eastward OF Reims, In which pris-
oners were taken. German aiders
were driven of by the French fire
near Belloy and in upper Alsace. The
statementsreads:
ITO the west of Chateau Thierry a
local operation, carried out In con-
junction with the Americans, enabled
the French to improve their positions
on the front OF Vaux-Hin 204. The
village of Vaux and the heights to the
west. of the village were captured by
American troops. The number of
prisoners taken during this action ex.
ceeds 800, including FIVE officers.
'Raiding operations carried out be.
tween Montdidier and Noyon and to
the east of Reims resulted in the tax.
ing of few prisoners.
Attempted German raids near Bel

the French fire."

HALT HOSPITAL SHIP
Latest Hun Atrocity Delays Sail
ing of the Comfort.
Plan to Send Vessel Without Convoy
Affected by Fate of British Craft
No More Survivors.

Washington, July 3.-Plans for the
sailing OF the American hospital ship
Comfort, which it was proposed to
send through the submarine zone with
out convoy, have been delayed by the
ruthless destruction of the Canadian
hospital ship Llandovery Castle. 1t is
not yet decided whether the original
plans will be changed.
A thorough search of the waters in
the vicinity of the spot where the
Llandovery Castle was sunk by Ger
man submarine has resulted in no
further survivors being found.
An official statement issued by the
admiralty says it may be assumed that
only "A out of the 258 persons on board
were saved.
The statement says:
"The area between the spot where
the Llandovery Castle was sunk and
the southwest Irish coast has been
thoroughly searched by two groups of
his majesty's ships in addition to the
DESTROYER Lysander. Only a little
wreck;,ge and one empty boat were
found"
Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of
the excheQuer, speaking in the house
Of commons, said one wohld have
thought that nothing new as regards
German brutality could have hap
pened, but the sinking of the Cana
dian hospital ship Llandovery Castle
was an unspeakable outrage.
Nothing could be gained, he added,
by talkiny about this last example of
frightfulness. He said:
The wild beast is at large. There
Is no use arguing or reasoning about
1t. The only thing to do Is to destroy
1t, That is the duty, and 1t Is UP to
all the allies to set their teeth until
that end is achieved"

ORDER HITS ONLY SELECTS
Provost Marshal General Crowuer Ex-
plains Work or Fight Edict-

Washington, July Accommodating
or the new work or fight regulations
which are in effect, Provost Marshal
General Crowder emphasized that the
order does not affect men outside OF
draft ages. Several communities ap.
parently have confused 1t with anti
loafer laws In some states.
General Crowder explained that the
work or fight order is purely military
step and that regulations regarding
employment or military service for IN
registered men are not embraced in his
functions. The only effect the order
has upon persons not subject to draft
is that it offers them more opportunl-
ties Of employment. Places vacated
by men liable to draft necessarily are
left open for men outside Of the draft,
he explained.
