SIREN SOUNDS TO
CALL BOY SCOUTS

At a meeting last evening the
scoutmasters decided to keep the
activities OF the Boy Scouts up to
normal during the summer months.
Some plan Of mobilization for the
Scout all over the city will be ar
ranged. W F. Bacon suggested that
a certain siren be blown. distIn-
GuisHed from other ones and known
to All the Scouts as their call
When sounded the Scouts will as
semble from all parts OF the city
AT central meeting place. This
IS the plan which probably will be
adopted.
The troops were assigned to cover
certain districts in search Of bar
berry bushes and black walnut
trees. Many Of the trees have al
ready been located, but the need Of
W0od is immediate and they must
be reported at once

SAYS COAL WILL WIN THE WAR
Outlines How Germany First Made
Sure of Supply For Flu
tuTe Use.

Approximately 50.000.OO0 tons of
Goa. must be saved by hOuSehOlders
and others throughout the nation
during the present year. This is
the statement made by Professor H
Fl Stocks, chairman OF the cOnser-
walton committee of the fuel admin
istration of Illinois, at a meeting Of
the Business Mems association held
al the Rock Island club last night.
Mr.. Stocks sad that Is per cent
more coal is required, and only s
per cent can be increased over the
production of last year, leaving Z
per cent TO be made up through the
saving campaign.
The speaker claimed that the
United States will be practically I'M
able to send coal to Europe except
ing for the use of the American eX-
pediriOnary forces The shortage
is attributed to the large amount
of coal consumed in the munition
plants, for the propulsion of naval
boats and for that used in other
war work
The speaker outlined conditions
n Germany with reference to the
large Krupp works at Essen, sit
uated as they are in the center Of
the coal and steel industry, and
told how the Germans took practic-
ally all the mines of Belgium and
three-fOurths of the coal mines of
France. Paris. he stated. was pri-
marily the secondary objective of
the first months of the war
The speaker claimed that victory
will be largely due to the coal sup
ply available He stated that the
victor must have a sufficient amount
to keep the war Industries running
at full blast.

TOnOpah Divide Mine Inspected
By Prominent Mining Operators

tinuance indefinitely with further
drifting.
Mr.. Knox, who Is one of the fore
most Nevada mining operators, was
particularly pleased with the present
conditions and future possibilities of
the new discovery, and expressed
himself briefly as follows:
You may say that while 1 have
heard most favorable reports regard
ing the Divide showing, l had no
idea that they had opened such an
enormous body of excellent ore as I
saw on this visit. 1t is most remark
able, with the large amount of min
ing that has been done in the i'm
mediate vicinity, and considering the
fact that so many of the most expert
mining engineers and operators of
America have passed within a few
feet of the property on their trips
between Goldfield and Tonopah, that
the discovery was not made many
years ago.
81 feel very certain that the Divide
discovery will develop into one of
the largest and richest deposits Of
gold and silver that has been devel-
oped in Nevada since the big mines
of Tonopah and Goldfield were
opened up, and it is especially inter-
esting to speculate on the POSSIBLE
ties of the high percentage of molyb-
denum that the ore carries.
This is not only further evidence
of the almost infinite variety of min
erals to be found in Nevada mines,
but Is highly important at this time
when the government, requiring
molybdenum as a war necessity, Is
doing everything it can to encourage
it's production.
81 was also much impressed with
the possibilities of nearby proper
ties, particularly the Gold Zone COM
pany, which enjoys an excellent loca-
ton and on which a shaft has al
ready been sunk to a depth of 800
feet, within a short distance of the
Divide shaft, with an excellent
chance of encountering the CONT
ton of the Divide vein."
Mr.. Pittman of the Tonopah Min
err, as we'll as the other members of
the party, shared the views of Mr..
Knox, and all felt convinced after
their visit that the camp of Divide
is destined to a career Of great ac-
tivity and big observation-disclosures

NICK ABLEMAN AND
PARTNER SELL CLAIMS

j. C. Mckay and Nick Ableman,
Who have owned the Gun Metal
group of four claims at Mckay City,
for about two years, have just dis
posed of their holdings to Alaska
parties. The first payment of ST.
600 has been made and the new
owners now have a force of men
at work developing the ground.
Over 100 tons of scheelite ore are
now on the dump, and samples
made of the same show that it will
average about 6 per cent. The
property is said to contain a large
deposit of the ore and gives promise
of becoming a steady producer.
Mckay City is located SO miles
north of Tonopah and Is miles east
of Nina.
The new work now under way in
the district is causing others hold
ing ground there to make plans for
work this summer.-Tonopah Times.

JARBIDGE DISTRICT TO
HAVE ELECTRIC POWER

J. L.. Eberle, of Boise, Idaho, was
in Carson yesterday for the purpose
of filing schedules of rates to be
charged by the Nevada Power COM
rany for electric current furnish
ed to consumers in the Jarbidge
mine workings. The Nevada Power
company is an extension of the
Idaho Power company, which has
now practically constructed an so
mile line from an Idaho point into
Jarbidge and will be ready to de-
liver current about April 1st. The
line was designed primarily to serve
the Elkoro mines, but the COM
pany has been requested to serve
several other companies and will do
so. Mr.. Eberle Is secretary of the
company just starting in this state.

ELKORO MILL NOW
RUNNING FULL TIME

March first the big mill of the
Elkoro Mines company was started
up and has been running very salts
factorily since then. This mill has
a nominal capacity of 100 tons every
"a hours, and has already shown
that 1t can handle more ore. The
company has purchased all the sur
face rights along the bottom on the
east side of the river, opposite the
town for dumping and retaining of
the tailings. Much of the sand and
gravel from this bottom land was
used for the retaining walls and
foundation about the mill. How
ever, the mill grinds the rock SO
line that it seems difficult to set
tie it and there is already a lot Of
fine mud observable in the river
below town and for several miles
down the river.-Elko Independent.

AMAIHiAMATED MILL
TO START UP SOON

About the most cheering bit of
news that has come Phoebe way for
some time was the announcement
that the Combined Metals flotatiOn
mill in the south part of town
would start up al once.
The mill is owned by the Anal
Gamated Phoebe Mines and Shelters
Corporation and Is under lease to
the Combined Metals.
E. H. Snyder, head of the Com
bined Metals, was here from Salt
Lake City this week making ar
rangements for starting the mill.
One of the direct benefits to be
derived at once will be the addition
of at least twenty men to the local
pay roll.
AS was stated in the Record a
short time ago, the Combined Metals
recently opened up a new strike.
This property is at this time at
tracing a great deal of attention in
mining circles.
Mr.. Snyder left Wednesday for
Salt Lake City.
Full details as to how many
shifts will be worked have not been
determined. 1t is possible that two
or three shifts will be put on
Phoebe Record.

NJ. ", st. Paul, MINI. - From
the interest that is now being mani
tested in the Tonopah Gold Noun
tain district, also called the Divide
district, 1t would seem safe to pre-
dict a large amount of activity there
in future. The district is only six
miles from Tonopah and Is travers-
ed by the main auto road from Gold
ED to Tonopah. The Tonopah Dr.
vide property is said by expert au-
thorities to give promise of making
one of the great mines of Nevada
and is being developed on a broad
scale by its owners, the men in con-
troll being George Wingfield and
H. c. Brougher. Other properties
in the same vicinity will be opened
at depth and preparations are being
made to install powerful mining
equipment on several of these. The
Tonopah Dividend, H~asbrouck, Di-
vide Extension, Gold Zone and
Brougher Divide are among other
properties that are highly appraised.

k@
tative party Of mining men from
Tonopah and Goldfield visited the
big showing in the Tonopah Divide
property and made a thorough inves-
tigation not only of the Divide prop
erty but of several of the adjoining
new enterprises as well. The party
consisted of Charles E. Knox, presi-
dent of the Montana-Tonopah Mines
company; Vail M. Pittman, business
manager of the Tonopah Miner; A.
l. darcy, the well-known goldfield
geologist and engineer, On whose ex-
animation and technical study of the
Divide mine the recent heavy pur-
chase of George Wingfield was
based; Frank Pittman, one Of the
attorneys in the recent apex suit be-
tween the Morning Glory and White
Caps companies, and George H. Gar
ry, g~eologist and consulting engi-
neer of the Belmont Mining COM
pany.
All of the members of the party,
particularly those who had not en-
joyed the privilege of a previous
visit, expressed themselves with
great enthusiasm regarding the re-
markable new discovery. Both Mr..
Darcy and Mr.. Garry had given con-
siderable study to the geological and
other technical features of the prop
erty on former occasions, and were
able to furnish to the others a very
intelligent and interesting account
of actual conditions.
The cross-cut which was run from
the shaft on the 160-foot level in
tersected the vein at a distance of
40 feet. The discovery was mex
, pected, the cross-cut having been
run primarily for the purpose of cut
ting the veins known to exist in the
old workings of the property some
distance farther to the south.
At the point Of intersection, the
vein was cross-cut for a distance of
over 40 feet, yer half of which, or
to be exact, 20 feet, from the most
careful sampling returned values of
$50 in gold and silver and carried
molybdenum to the extent of IL per
cent, which means an additional val
ue of approximately $50 per ton.
These conclusions are the result of
Mr.. D'Arcy's private sampling, in
which he was engaged for some time
as the personal representative of
George Wingfield, previous to the
purchase by the latter of the large
interest which he now owns.
The party also visited the 27O-
foot level, and were geratly amazed
to find that conditions at this depth
show a great improvement yer those
existing on the level above. The
vein on the 27O-foot. level Is consid-
erably wider, with no diminution in
values.
The drift which has been extended
in the vein to the east had reached
a distance of nearly 100 feet, the
face still showing the same excellent
conditions. A cross-cut at a point
so feet east of the shaft was run rs
feet each way from the drift, and
demonstrated the orebody to have a
width of over SO feet, with excellent
values in gold, silver and molybde-
mum clear across.
Drifting operations had also been
! prosecuted for some distance to the
west, the face Of the drift in this
direction carrying excellent values
and giving every indication Of con
