Dear Will and Olive:
Just line this afternoon to tell
you that | have just received the
Christmas box that you sent me,
and | wish to thank you ever so
much for it | am sure. The tobacco
was just what | was wishing for as
it is awfully hard to get over here,
or rather it is hard to get good
tobacco, and Edgeworth is just the
kind | like. | am getting rather
short of cigarettes, and it is i'm
possible for me to get any here of
any kind, but have a good supply
of Bull Durham and plenty of spipe
tobacco So guess will get along
pretty well. l sure would like Z
204 cigar once more, but | suppose
that is too much of luxury to ex-
cept in war times.
Wish you might have been here
last night to see the fun, we had a
very nice little air-battle, AFRAID,
it was quite exciting,
Hello, there is another air-battle
right over me now, | wish you could
see it, there are two Boshe and
three French planes engaged-Now
they are using their machine guns,
and there is some noise, somebody
is hit, it is the Boshe, oh, there he
comes, his machine is in three pieces
gee that seems like hard luck but he
will do no more damage.
This is just a sample of what we
see here all the time, can you i'm
agine it? wouldn't miss it for any,
thing and if | could transfer into
that branch of the service and hold
my present rank would do it in a
minute, for | think that ! would
just love it.
There is place near here they
train aviators and | am going over
some day and see if they will not
take me up, for it must be a great
sensation.
Say Will, do you ever go looking
for "beet-greens" now? | wish that |
could do that once more. but it seem
almost like an unfair game for a
man has all of the advantage, while
at this the other fellow has an
even chance. There is not so much
excitement in deer hunting, but |
am inclined to believe that / would
be satisfied with little less than
there is here at present, just the
same.
have just got back from the Re-
treat Formation and had an inspec-
tion of rifles tonight, the first one
that | have had since | took this

Government 70 Control Wool

Mondays Reno Gazette: Accord
ing to information received to-day
by Nevada wool growers. all wool
dealers are to cease contracting wool
at once and the Government has
made provision to take charge of the
wool clip of the United States.
At a meeting of the Boston wool
buyers on Friday the quartermaster
department of the army asked that
the wool trade submit all the woods
they own, whether secured or in
grease. in transit or spot to the Gov
eminent at prices based on Fridays
valuations, these valuations to be de-
termined by a committee of apprais-
r appointed by the wool traders.
The traders unanimously agreed to
abide by this request.
As interpreted by wool dealers
here the order means that a fixed
price 0 r'wool will go into effect as
soon as the appraisement board has
finished its work and that dealers
cannot pay nor for wool than the
fixed price. According to reports
reaching here from Boston the Gov
eminent has taken over several large
mills and lie preparing to take over
more to operate on Government con-
tracts.

London. April 9.-All London was
talking to-day about the latest war
rumor-the landing in England last
night of an American airplane after
a nonstop flight from New York
with IL passengers. The authorities
declared there was no basis for the
story but this denial served merely
to give it additional currency.
According to the popular version
this was the big SURPRISE which
Premier Lloyd George said last

UNION MINES STRIKE
LARGE ORE BODY

Elko Free Press April 9: Senator
Thatcher. manager of the Union
Mines Company. located in Eureka
County, south of Palisade. has just
returned from the mine and tells US
that they have opened up an immense
body Of ore at the 7O0-foot level.
He has had a force of men at work
all Winter sinking the shaft. and in a
crosscut at the 70O-foot level run
into the main vein, and although
they have pushed the drift so feet
into the ore body there Is. as yet. no
indication of the footwall.
There is every indication that they
have opened up an immense body of
low grade ore, which will require a
concentrating plant. and the company
has planned to install a $500, 600
plant just as soon az the conditions
of the country will allow them to Sc
cure the necessary machinery. AT
the present time it is utterly impos-
sible to secure mining machinery of
any sort. as the mills and foundries
are working day and night on wal
orders.
The Union mines have been de-
veloped to such an extent that it is
now one of the greatest ~silver-lead
properties in this section of the State.
They have already shipped $4,000
tons of high-grade ore. and have
more than that amount of tonnage
blocked out and ready for shipment
On the 18th of the month they intend
to start their four big motor trucks
hauling the r to the railroad for
shipment to the smelter, and will
continue the development of the
mine.

10000 MEN CALLED FOR
In First Quota of Second Draft
Nevada ia Asked for 179 Men
Eureka County For
Two Men

Washington, April 8.-Approxi-
mately $50, 900 men will be sent to
training camps during the five-day
period beginning April 26. under or
ders sent to State Governors Satur-
day by Provost Marshal General
Crowder. for mobilization of the
April call of the second draft. This
is three times the number it was
originally planned to call and is near
ly twice the monthly quota as based
on the calling of SOC, 900 men yer a
period of nine months.
Calling out of the increased num-
Der was made necessary by the de-
cision of President Wilson to respond
without delay to the need of France
and Great Britain for reinforcements
in the great battle in Picardy. Va
~cancies in National army divisions,
resulting from the withdrawal of
men to complete National guard and
regular army units and for the for
nation of special technical units
asked by General Pershing, will be
made good by the April draft. These
division farthest advanced in training
are to receive first attention in order
that the maximum number of COM
plete units may be sent abroad soon.
Failure of Congress to pass the
amendment to the selective service
Act which would permit quotas ac-
cording to population. necessitated
necessary adhesion to the old system.
Local draft boards have been official
ly advised. however. that they are to
ignore quotas for the time being
and to simply continue calling up
men until they have obtained the
number they have been instructed to
forward. When a basis for establish
ing State quotas has been found,
credit will be given for those already
called.
Nevada's portion of the 1901 0C
men called for April 26 has been an.
nounced as ITO men.
The Eureka County Board has
been notified by Adjutant General
Sullivan that two men will be called
from Eureka County to complete her
quota. but the order for these men
has not been received here yet.
