BOY SCOUTS TO
SOLICIT MONEY
OUT FOR WAR
SAVINGS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 81
The $4,000 Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca have been asked by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to enlist ar
army of wal savers throughout the
country. The scouts have instruc-
lions from their national headquar-
ters to ring every doorbell in the
land. deliver a short talk on the
necessity of saving, and take orders
for government war-saving securi-
tiss-the 25-cent and IS thrift
stamps.
President Wilson will write a
personal letter of thanks to the
scout in each state who has the
highest record of sales during the
year, and the wives of the cabinet
members have offered to give a VIC
tory flag in each state to the troop
standing at the top at the end of
the year.
Secretary McAdoo, in his appeal
to the scouts, says:
your splendid work in the
Liberty Loan campaigns proved that
the government can count on you
and your organization. knowing
that you are always ready to serve
your country, and realizing how
widely ~war-saving stamps may be
sold through your efforts, l take
pleasure in presenting you another
opportunity"
Five million red post cards have
been printed by the government for
the special use of the scouts. These
are orders for the local postmaster
to deliver savings stamps. The boys
will take the orders for stamps from
house to house, drop the signed
cards in the mail box and the post
office will do the rest.
James E. West, chief scout execu-
tive, has sent this message to each
of the $4,000 troops over the
country:
at is the duty and privilege of
every loyal citizen to help the ma
ton in it's hour of need, and every
dollar saved helps win the a
"War-savings stamps are issued
by the government to induce saving,
discourage waste and inculcate hab-
it's of thrift throughout the country. 4
Scouts are expected to work for thn
war-savings campaign every day in
the year and to sell ~war-savings
stamps to all who will save and lend
their savings to the government"
An ace medal, similar to the avi-
ators' decoration, will be awarded
scouts taking orders for $3.50, and
palms will be given for each addi-
tional 500.
War savings are now coming into
the treasury at the rate of nearly
2 1000, 900 a day, or at a rate equal
to the entire receipts of the govern
ment a few years ago.

Sunday and the shipment of bullion
resulting therefrom was made on
the following day. The consign-
mcnt was composed of 20 bars of
bullion, which weighed 55,942
ounces, and it's value is estimated
tc be $~5S,739.10.
Mining operations at the three
different sections of the mine
progressed in. the usual favorable
manner during the week. In the
slopes on the End, 3rd, 4th and
West End territory proper, all the
usual quantities of ore of a good
average grade were produced for
the mill.
In the disputed section, the regu-
lar stopping operations were carried
on at the 900 level, as well as at
the intermediate levels from the
wines, while production work was
started from COL Wine.
Halifax-T OnOpah
The drift on the 1OO0-foot level
of the Halifax Tonopah Mining
company, which has been following
a stringer of high grade ore for
some time, continued it's advance
ct the usual rate of speed, without
much change either in values or
width. The crosscut, No. 1918, was
also extended the regular distance.
with conditions identically similar
to those reported heretofore.
On the 12O0-foot level, cross-cut
1856 accomplished the usual foot
age, and no change is reported at
its heading.
The work of cleaning up the
debris on the 1700-foot level, con-
sequent to the recent rush of water
and mud from a water course which
was encountered, is proceeding very
slowly, on account of the high tenn
perature and also because a stream
OF hot water is flowing out of the
drift. 1t Is stated, however, that
very good progress is being made
at this time, considering the diff
culties which have been encount-
cred.
MacNamara Nj. 4 Nj. Co.
The weekly report received from
the MacNamara evidences the fact
that the same intensive develop
ment work that has characterized
the mining operation in this prop
erty ever since the resumption of
work some months ago, is being
continued, and that weekly ship
ments of ore are being sem to the
mill regularly for treatment. On
the 18th the company shipped 8
bars of bullion weighing S697
ounces, which is estimated at a
value of $1.10 per ounce. making
the shipment worth ~$9.566.7O. All
the working faces in ore have pro-
duced the usual satisfactory tom
nages, and 53S tons we're treated
