CIVILIANS WARNED TO
KEEP OFF THE RIFLE
RANGE AT ALL HOURS

Major e. P. Pierson. chief of stan at
Camp Hancock, has requested that civil
ians be warned against trespassing on the
rifle range. Practice firing with small
arms has already begun and the heavy
guns will be brought into play later.
1t is stated that quite a few people
have been going out on the range to view
the ruins of an old building that was de-
stroyed by the Pennsylvania artillery in
a practice barrage laid down several
weeks ago. This is dangerous, officers
state, and should be discontinued. One of
the officers made the remark today that
he had seen negro driving a wagon
across the range late yesterday and al
there is likely to be firing at that time
of the day and it is considered dangerous
to cross the range at any time.

FRENCH OFFICERS AT
CAMP WEAR KHAKI

Members of the French Military Mission
at Camp Hancock are now working in
the garb Of the American soldier. Most
of the uniform which they now wear is
American khaki, although they wear hats
and other symbolic parts of the French
uniform.
The change from the spectacular uni
forms of their own army to the durable
and comfortable American khaki is
brought about principally by the fact that
the khaki is much cooler than their na-
tional uniform

MILITARY NEWS IN
WORLD AT LARGE:
BY Frederick 8. Heitkamp.

1t is expected that the new German
drive has commenced For the past
three weeks there has been distri-
button of the German forces along the
entire line and the past few days have
seen an intensifying of the artillery
and gas attacks
The blow which has just been struck
followed but two brief artillery pre-
parations and was launched most
forcibly on two sectors. One was on
the line from Vooremeele to Locre
and the other on thirty -five-mile
front from Pinon north of Scissors to
Rheims, which is known as the Aisne
sector.
Reports tell Of Slight advances into
the allied lines obtained by reckless
repeated massing of infantry. The
artillery and aeroplane activities have
been extremely Yenturesome. The
fighting on the Aisne front is similar
to that of last summer along the Che
min des DANES where for weeks the
German crown prince hurled his men
against the French positions only to
see them crushed and beaten The
number of divisions engaged in the
present drive can not be estimated.
Last year there were seventy five of
them along this line alone.
1t is very probable that the Ameri-
cans are engaged in this new drive
for it had been reported that our men
had been moved up into these sectors.
The Germans realize the great i'm
portance of striking now before the
new ally can send her troops to the
front and so is forcing upon this sec
ond and new drive with great energy.
In the Italian theater we see that
the Italians have taken the offensive
and have launched an attack at the
Austrians. Reports have been coming
to us of a pending offensive by the
Austrians themselves but Italy has
stolen a march on her and taken the
battle to Austria.
Secretary Baker recently announced
that our troops would be sent to Italy
in the near future as we'll as to the
French line. Then we shall have on
the Italian front what we have on the
western front--an allied army COM
posed of civilized nations of the world,
fighting together with a community of
interested, in order that hey may Sc
cure common victory for the benefit
of all mankind.
Japan and China have come to an
agreement with regard to a joint mill
itary campaign in Siberia There are
many conflicting interests of the two
nations and it is hoped that all may be
as satisfactorily arranged as they
have been during the past year
Costa Rica is the latest nation to
declare war on Germany, thus making
the total twenty-one. 1t is interesting
to remember that the government Of
this country has never been recognized
by the United States because it had it's
origin and derived its power from rev.
olution.
Turkey is having trouble with troops
in Asia Minor and reports tell of re-
peated mutiny.

RED CROSS DRIVE

Washington.-With many eleventh

the great outpouring of American dol

midnight. Officials today haZarded
predictions that the total might ap-
proach the $150,000,0 900 mark.
The oversubscription. much larger
than that of the first 100000 900 fund
last year was taken as an answer to
the resumption of the German often

division is within 100000 of it's ST.

co., HlTTEMORE is
INJURED BY FALL
COUNCIL FOR SALT LAKE ROAD
SUFFERS PAINTING
SPELL

Charles o. Wittemore, millionaire
railroad builder and attorney, and
promoter of several of the VESTS
big mining and oil corporations, is
at the st. Francis hospital, San
Francisco, in a critical condition as
tie result of a fall in his room
at the Hotel st. Francis late Satur-
day night, when a fainting spell
overlook him at the telephone.
Hospital authorities say his con
dition may become dangerous If
complications set in. Three long
gashes were cut at the base of his
skull where his head hit the door
jam Of his bathroom. An X-ray ex-
animation failed to disclose a frac-
ture or the presence of any undue
pressure ON the brain, but the case
is being watched constantly to fore
stall unfavorable developments.
Whittemore fell as he took the
telephone receiver from the hook.
Being more than six feet tall, he
fell with great force. His plight
was discovered about 10 minutes
later, when a bellboy opened the
room after the telephone operator
failed to receive an answer to her
queries, although the telephone re-
ceiver still was off the hook.
After several years as city and
county attorney of Salt Lake City,
Utah, Whittemore was the prime
mover in the organization of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
railroad. Latter he became associat-
ed with the Las Vegas and Tonopah
railroad, of which he is now vice
president and general counsel. He
is also president of the Goldfield
Merger Mines company, a $4,000
600 corporation; vice-president of
the Goldfield Deep Mines company,
and presiden. Of the Las Vegas
Land and Water company. =

zone of quartz that lies between the
latte and shale and that marks the
extension along the shale's surface
of the west vein.
Throughout the length of the
cross-cut the shale has exhibited in
dications of the influence OF the
everything quartz zone. as it appears
to have been greatly broken and re-
cemented, is highly silicified and
carries quantities of iron-copper sui
phide. In the opinion of experts
every condition is present to war
rant the belief that at this depth in
the main vein a zone of secondary
enrichment will be found, holding
in concentrated deposits the metals
that have been leached from the
vein above. Interest in this work
has reached a high point in mining
circles and with a continuance OF
the present rapid rate of progress
something in the way of definite re-
suits may be expected within the
next week or two.

that later a .winze will be sunk from
the main drift to explore the point
where the lower segment of the con-
tact channel, at the west, reaches
the shale; probably at no great dis
lance below the drift.
This ore-channel may be penetra
ted at any time, but there is good
reason to expect results of great i'm
p~ortance from this work within the
next 80 days, and the further open
ing of the territory already partly
explored in this northern area will
be carried forward and will be
watched with the greatest interest
as already high-grade ore has been
exposed in commercial quantity al
a number of points. Good venti-
lation will now permit OF the
thorough exploration of this highly
promising territory, which many ex'
perts regard as holding the greatest
possibilities of any in the district
for the opening of deposits of aigh-
grade ore.

WELL-KNOWN WOMAN
LEAVES GOLDFIELD

Mrs. James G.. Cushing left Gold
leld yesterday morning with her
two little daughters, to join her hus-
band at Aurora, where Mr.. Cushing
is superintendent of mines for the
Aurora Consolidated. There were
few people in Goldfield who had
more friends than Mrs. Cushing or
whose departure has caused more
sincere regret. There was never
during her residence here-and she
was among the first in Goldfield-
a public charity or community move
ment that did not have her enthusi-
astic and effective support. And in
such matters she was always effect
i've. And nobody will ever know
how many hundreds of cases of want,
privation or other suffering which
Mrs. Cushing quietly and without
publicity found means and ways to
relieve. There may be another or
others to take Mrs. Cushing's place
in Goldfield. but they are not nu-
merous.

Visitors to the district express
wonder that its merit was not re-
cognized long ago, as the veins crop
boldly at many points near the main
road between Goldfield and Tono-
pah, about six miles south of the
latter town. A considerable amount
of prospecting has been done in the
district and lessees have operated
at intervals on the Tonopah Divide
property for a number of years
past, but the most important de-
yelopments were confined to the
hasbrouck property until the COM
paratively recent discovery of large
deposits of high-grade ore on the
16O-foot level of the Tonopah Di-
vide mine. The district now seems
destined to become one of the most
active and populous in southern Ne

MEXICAN MILL TO
INCREASE CAPACITY
PLANT AT VIRGINIA CITY Is
NOW HAULING LARGE
TONNAGE

Plans are under consideration to
increase the capacity of the Mexi-
can mill. The plant is crushing ap-
rroximately $50 tons of ore week
ly. of which 451 tons is from the
Union Consolidated, the remainder
coming from the Consolidated Viz
ginia. With the outlook favorable
for a heavier output from both
mines, and a steady yield antici-
rated from the Ophir, Mexican and
Sierra Nevada in a few weeks, the
management intends to have the
mill in condition to meet all de-
mands likely to develop.
Ore assaying SIS to ST. per ton
is being mined at two points on the
cOOO-foot level of the Consolidated
Virginia, and all ore from this point
will soon go direct to the Union
shaft by way of the new connecting
drift, rapidly nearing completion.
On the 21OO level a fan has been
installed and a west cross-cut start
ed to intersect the orebody under
development at the 1000 point
Drifting is also proceeding yigor-
ously from the 200 foot level. The
property is producing 1875 IONS OF
ore weekly sampling a little over
$13 per ton.
C~ross-cutting to the east is ad-
yancing rapidly from the 26OO-foot
level of the Union Consolidated for
the purpose of ~intersecting the ex-
tension of the main orebody. On
the $500 level this vein continues
10 yield a good tonnage of quartz
assaying $50 to $34 per ton. The
hulk of ore going to the Mexican
mill is being drawn from this level.
Several slopes on the $500 and 240O
levels are also yielding we'll. Last
week the company produced 451
tons assaying better than SIT per
ton, although necessity of timber
ing heavy ground hampered pro-
duction.
A hosting plant is under installa-
ton at the Andes, and construction Of
buildings proceeding. The ventilat-
ing system on the 25O0-foot level
of the Sierra Nevada has been i'm
proved and drifting along the shoot
of good ore lately encountered is
recording good progress. New
work has also begun in the 1000

YOUR COUNTRY'S
APPEAL TO YOU
WHAT THE WOMEN OF FRANCE
ARE DOING TO WIN
WAR

The women of France are plough
in the fields that the men of their
army may be fed. Will not the
women of America lend money to
their country that their own fight

The women of England, from the
Highest to the humblest, are toll
ing in munition factories to make
guns and shells for their soldiers.
Will not the ONE of America do
that far easier thing of merely lend
ing the money to buy the guns for
equipping the American men?
The safety for which these wo-
men of other lands m striving
was won for American women long
aso by the swords of American
men. To preserve this safety for
YOU and your children American
men are now marching to battle
even as their forefathers marched.
Will American women stand shoul-
der to shoulder with them? They
are offering their lives as a gift.
will you offer your dollars as a
loan?
To ave your home from the
flames destroying France, your
babies from the sword that muir
dered infants in Poland, your daugh-
tiers from the hordes that ravished
belgian ONE even as they fled
through the streets, American men
are making the supreme sacrifice.
What sacrifice will you make to
help equip these defenders of your
country? What will you give up
that you may help finance the
struggle to save American freedom?
Not a gift. but a loan is asked of
y,u. Not a free loan, but a loan
ut interest. Will you withhold your
money while men offer their blood?
Buy a Liberty Bond for your oun
try's sake. Put it in your name.
Bny one for the daughter it may
save. Buy one for the boy too
small to fight.
