MARY PICKF0RD IN
LATEST AIRCRAFT PICTURE

At the American theatre tonight
Mary Pickford in her latest Aircraft
picture, "Amarilly of Clothes Line Al
ley" will be shown. II is the most
humorous picture in which she has
ever appeared. Clothes Line Alley ia
typical of the tenement district of a
great metropolis. and the characters,
from the star down, are all indigenous
to the precincts that form so large
and picturesque portions of the city.
Mary Pickford, of course, is Amar-
lily. daughter of a tender-hearted
Irish washerwoman, and mother of a
large family, the boys of which are
messengers and newsboys. Amarilly
makes her living as "a scrub girl in "a
theatre. while her fance. Terry Nc
Gowan, the pride of the Alley, is d
bartender in the Midway saloon.
Aside from the fact that he holds the
heart of Amarilly, he is celebrated as
the inventor of the famous Hickey
Boola cocktail, though he himself
never INDUCES in liquor.

WHAT THE LABOR DAY
MONEY WILL BE USED FOR

1t has been brought to our atten-
ton, through the remarks made to us
by different citizens, that there is
some misunderstanding concerning the
use of the funds that we hope to de-
rive from our celebration on Labor
Day.
Some people are under the impress
sion that any revenues we take in are
to be used to purchase fire fighting
equipment, but this is entirely wrong,
as we are endeavorlng to create a
fund upon which we can draw for the
purpose of giving any fireman proper
medical attention in case he is in
jured while in the execution of his
duties at q fire.
This fund is necessary for the rea-
son that we can not take out state in
dustrial insurance, as this is not q
paid department; nor can we take W,
take out individual accident policies
that will cover this hazard.
Trusting the above explanation will
clear any doubts in the minds of those
who had heretofore misunderstood oul
motives, we are, yours very truly,

BIGGEST CLOTHING SHOPS IN
THE WORLD MAKING L. =. SUITS

No matter how fast the national
army grows there will be uniforms
enough for all This is already shown
in the U. S. official war film, Perish
ing's Crusaders" presented by the
committee on public information, at
the American theatre next Tuesday.
August 27. Uncle Sans clothing
shops are shown in action An cleo
tric knife cuts sixty thicknesses of
cloth at once, which means sixty uni
forms ready for the sewing machines.
The cloth when cut is passed on to
hundreds of women operators of sew
ing machines, and the garments are
turned out with rapidity that is sur.
prising. The films show in interest
ing detail how the soldiers clothing
is cut and made up ready for delivery
this part of the film alone giving a
clear insight into the thoroughness
and speed with which America is pre-
pairing for participation in the war.
1t is stated that every woman work
er in the clothing shops has one or
more relatives at the front or in the
cantonments on this side preparing
for service.
There is no question that Uncle
Sam is seeing to the important matter
of properly clothing his fighters The
uniforms are being turned out with
such speed that every recruit arriv-
ing at a cantonment will have his full
outfit of clothing awaiting him

MUST PAY IN
ADVANCE, is LATEST RULING

All subscribers who are receiving
The Silver State through the mail are
requested to pay up at once. The
government requires that we shalt
collect in advance after the first of
October and in the meantime those
in arrears must remit Immediately or
we shall be obliged to discontinue the
paper. The order from Uncle Sam Is
very explicit and the penalty far
reaching for the publisher who disre-
CARDS the mandate.
To refuse to take the paper from
the postofiice does not help the sub
scriber unless he pays up as we'll
We have been sending many copies
of The Silver State to our boys in the
training camps, but this must also
cease unless they are paid subscrip-
tions. There is no free list, exchanges
are taboo and where the publisher
will land no one seems to know.
Let us hope that many of, our town
subscribers who get their papers
through the postoffice instead of by
carrier will look up their last receipt
or drop in the office and we will in
form them how much they owe. The
American people are reputed to be
the most forgetful in the world and
we sometimes believe the accusation
to be true when we count up the
numerous bills sent out during the
past year and the lack of spontaneous
response.
Let us hear from you.

report by United States geological
survey; about $50 tons a month arc
now being shipped from the Ely and
Nevada districts

OF most promising prospects opened in
past months.

being hauled from manganese deposit

5000 ounces and 80 tons concentrates
Manhattan mines all showing good de-
velopment work.
Goldfeld-Mines in Hornsilver dis
triet producing 100 tons per day.
Biggs-Manganese mine at Owls
Hole, one of richest in country, re-
opened. Basalt schist, which will re-
duce weight of stone ships about so
per cent, has been discovered in Death
Valley.
Rich vanadium ore being shipped
now from Goodsprings.
Reno-Movement on to secure for
Nevada a hospital for conyalescent
soldiers.
Nevada supplies U. S. with talcum;
nine-tenths of the product used in this
country comes from Death Valley.
Nevadas mineral output is growing,
official report of IT, S. geological sur
vey shows gains made; copper the
leader; high price of silver stimulates
producers of the white metal
anhattan-Mining operations in
are at normal, with the White Caps.
Consolidated, Union, Big Pine and
others in operation
Nevada's newest camp, Divide, doing
permanent work.
Ray-Excellent progress being made
ir both development and equipment
of the property of Muncy Mining Com
pany, operating extensive holdings 29
miles from here.
Estimates now on Nevada are that
the 1918 production of metal may not
be far from the S53,000,O00 total of
1917. While the copper outupt will be
higher. the gold. lead and zinc will
likely be less. The output at Gold
field is decreasing. The Tonopah
mines show an increase this year over
1917. The copper production in 1917
was 110,000,000 opunds and will prob
ably exceed that figure in 1918. The
Goodsprings district is now producing
about 2400 tons of ore month, COM
pared with 1000 last year.
Since shortly after the first of the
month there has been interest in Gold
field mining circles in a discovery of
Manganese by local men. This ground
seven miles south of Goldfield, on the
Ida road, is at the roadside where
men had passed it for years, with the
surface groupings in plain sight As
says of from 40 to 65 per cent are
said to have been obtained at the sur
face and in doing location work the
discoverers have saved from seven to
eight tons of ore of this character.
