MILO WEATHER
HELPS MINING
LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK IN
PROGRESS AT COPPER
FIELD

COPPERFIELD, New, March 30
With the warm spring days Of the
past week the snow has largely dis
appeared from the hills in the vicini-
ty of Copperfield and surface work
has been resumed in that section of
the camp which lies to the south
east of the main workings of the
Nixon-Nevada mine. where a number
of important finds were made before,
the storms interfered with outdoor
operations.
Not only were the several veins
uncovered in this neighborhood of
unusual width, but so much copper
glance was visible in ore found near
the surface that it's richness was be-
yond question. A new road is being
graded to the point from which OPP
e~rations at this point will be direct
ed, and grading is also under way
for the buildings to house the COM
pressor. blacksmith shop, ETC., nee
essary for the new work contem-
plated.
The ground in the face of the
cross-cut in the main workings of
the Nixon-Nevada has been growing
softer for the past few days and bet
ter progress is being made. The
sinking Of the two-compartment
winze from the north drift on the
No. 1 vein at the 30O-foot level, at a
point 125 feet from the bottom of
the shaft, Is also proceeding stead

the old State Line mine, where he
has opened up the extension of the
Nixon-Nevada's No. 4 vein, Is con-
tinuing the drift from the level of
the tunnel in which he made the
strike. Though the values have
been leached from the biggest por-
ton of the vein, he still finds suffi-
cient high-grade ore that was en-
cased in material which the leach
ing solutions did not penetrate to
convince him that with further de-
velopment he will make a good-pay-
ing mine.

German Helmets Reach Reno

Three German helmets, taken
from dead German SOLDIERS in Bel
GUM on Dec. II, reached Reno a
few days ago. They we're sent by

The helmets are of steel and, al
though rusty, are in good condition.
Two of them still contain the sirst-
aid kits with which the German
soldiers r provided. The helmets
were turned over to Sergeant Kes-
ter, a marine corps recruiting Off
Ger, and will be used in a window

ACHIEVEMENTS OF
ENGINEER ARMY
IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE OF ITS
RECENT WORK In FRENCH
PORT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 30
The secretary of war has just review
ed with commentator the great
work that has been done by the
United States engineering army at
the entrance port in France for our
expeditionary forces. In the last six
months these troops have transform
ed what was then an Insignificant
shipping point with facilities for
only a half dozen vessels into a har-
Dor that rivals the greatest Ameri-
can port.
Forty millions of dollars worth of
machinery and materials were placed
In the hands of the American engi-
neers. They dredged the shallow
channel and made a deep waterway.
The dredgings filled in the marshes.
These were covered with miles
of piers and warehouses. Now sixty
steamers can load and discharge
their cargoes simultaneously. The
eastern end of General Pershing's
bridge Of ships Is built.
The largest railroad yard in all
France has made the war o n tribu-
tary to this port. Miles of switch
es and hundreds of train crews are
busy handling the food and supplies
for the boys at the front. Shops and
r~oundhouses are ready to keep the
rolling stock in good repair.
Many b~attalions of engineers were
required to build this distributing
center in so short a time. Carpen-
tiers, bridge builders. pile drivers,
dredgers, dock helpers, structural
steel workers, riggers, surveyors,
machinists, concrete workers, rail-
road operators, trackmen, cooks and
general utility men all helped to
complete this military task.
This new harbor was planned and
the improvements were all made by
engineering soldiers. The engineers
are the pioneers of the army. They
make the way possible for the ad-
vance of the infantry and artillery.
They are the skilled workmen Of the
army. The first replacement regi-
ments Of engineers, stationed at
Washington barracks, D. c., trains
men for the different organizations
of the ITnited States engineers.
The personnel of units in the en-
cheering army is similar to that of
an industrial organization. Each
man in the army applies his techni-
cal knowledge to solving military
military problems. A soldier can
follow his chosen profession in the
army as well as the men in the in
dustrial world.

HEARING PROPOSED
ON WATER SCHEDULE
GOLDFIELD RATE CASE TO BE
HEARD AT CARSON
APRIL -

The public service commission has
fixed Monday, April %, as the date
for a hearing on the question of a
proposed change in the water rates
in Goldfield.
The Goldfield Consolidated Water
company recently asked for a re-
hearing in the action which a year
ago resulted in a reduction in the
rates, and it is understood that as a
result of the conference that fol-
lowed the company filed a new
schedule of rates. which was, except
as to sewer charges, practically the
rate charged prior to the reduction.

Rehearing Asked in Gay Case

A petition asking for a rehearing
In the Sam Gay case was filed with
the clerk of the supreme court a
few days ago. The court recently
handed down an opinion in which 1t
was held that the proceedings under
which Gay was removed from the
office of sheriff of Clark county
were regular and that the law pro-
viding for such removal was consti-
tutional.

INDIAN BREAKS LEG
IN FALL FROM HORSE

Saturday A. @. Diffenbaugh, while
on his way to mining claims south
of here. found an Indian lying near
the road with a broken leg, believed
10 have resulted from a fall from a
horse. The Indian had crawled for
several hundred yards to within
hailing distance of the road and at
tracted the attention Of Diffen-
baugh, who notified G. X. Collins,
l. cattleman of the Ida district.

Fined for Breaking Food Law

Pete Vassilou was arrested in an
Ely restaurant a few days ago and
fined 500 for an alleged violation
of the food laws. He is said to
have ordered a meal and, being dis
satisfied with the bread ration, to
have gone to a bakery and pur-
chased a half dozen rolls, which he
attempted to eat in the restaurant.
Vassilou, who is a Greek, is known
in Ely as being patriotic and his &C
ton in the restaurant is believed to
have been due to pro-German in
fluence that was brought to bear on
him.

SILVER KING MINE
WORKS At BEOWAWE
SALT LAKE OPERATORS AC.
QUIRE EARLY-DAY SILVER
PRODUCER

j. b. Lamb, who had charge oil
the George Oliver properties in Lee
Canyon last year, left here this
morning for Beowawe to take
charge of the old Silver King grour
in the Bullion district in Lander
county. He states that a bond and
lease has been taken on the ole
mine and that active work will i'm.
mediately start cleaning out ole
shafts and tunnels and sacking the
ore for shipment.
This old mine has shipped much
ore in the days gone by and a re-
cent examination has disclosed the
continuation of the ore vein, which
carries lead and silver in values OF
$3.50 per ton. The property has been
taken over by Salt Lake people
who have shipped to Beowawe a
25-horsepower hoist, together with
other necessary machinery, which
will be taken out to the mine as
soon as the roads will permit.
Mr.. Lamb is confident that suffi-
cient shipping ore a be taken out
curing the development work to pay
all expenses, and that with depth
new bodies of ore will be found
and the old silver property be put
in the dividend class.-Elko Free

Little specks stop Trial

After a jury of IL women, good
and true, had been sworn to try
Charles Horton of Bishop for the
theft of cattle, little specks stepped
in and put an abrupt end to the
proceedings. During the night,
following the selection Of the jury,
little specks asserted themselves on
the defendants face, making it look
like a birds y view of "no-man's
land" and the doctor pronounced
him to be suffering from measles,
which put an end to the court pro-
ceedings.

Austrian laborers in the lime
quarry at Sloan, in Clark county,
recently struck and the sheriff and
under sheriff were called to quiet
the trouble that followed. Henry
Schneider, obviously not an Aus
trian, posed as a leader of the work
men at the quarry and, according to
the officers, engineered a general
strike when trouble arose over the
supply of water to the men while at
wark. AS a result of the trouble
rs of the men quit their jobs.

Sheepmen Not Selling 1ocks

That considerable anxiety exists
among sheepmen as to whether the
government intends fixing prices for
lambs and wool is the statement
made by w. Davis, an Idaho sheep
and wool buyer, who is travelling
through Nevada to sign contracts for
this seasons sales. Davis says that
despite the uncertainty sheepmen are
refusing to contract for the sale of
sheep or wool, while at this time last
year contracts had been signed for
nearly all on hand.
