SAYS NEVADA WILSON MAY
Make ANOTHER TONOPAh

Marie Woodson, who returned
Wednesday from an examination of
the Neyada-Wilson property near
Eastgate. is enthusiastic over this
new strike. He is of the opinion
that it will be second Tonopah.
Mining men have always agreed"
said Mr.. Woodson, that the Nevada
Wilson has all the earmarks of
great mine. But the former ore
showings have not been at sufficient
depth to fully prove the extent of
the mine However, the recent un-
covering of a six foot ledge of high
grade milling ore at good depth
leads me to believe that this mine is
sow certain TO be big one. The
edge shows six feet of ore which
.veraged ninety dollars and the
ianging wall is not yet uncovered.
Manager Wilson and his men arc
working rapidly and | am confident
hat another ten days will open VI
IRE bodies which will show this to

NEW DRAFT TAKES OLDER
MEN INTO THE SERVICE

Adjutant-General Sullivan is in
receipt of telegraphic word from the
war department which will work a
draft order for men physically unfit
for direct war purposes.
The telegram briefly outlines 2
plan whereby men who are rejected
by the local examining board for
slight physical defects can be put to
use In the business that is bound TO
accumulate In army matters.
The telegram advises that men sc
drafted will be paid according to
rank. A man drafted for work OF
the war boards with the rank OF
private will be paid on that basis
lie will be supplied with uniform
and rations the same as any Other
soldier. Should the man so drafted
go up in rank he will be paid in &C
cordance with his rank.
The plans, from the limited tele
graphic advice, seem to be to suppl.
those soldier men to the local draf
,r enlistment boards. while undoubt
IDLY the adjutant-general will be
supplied by such help. II will be
necessary to select from the rejected
men those 1T to fill clerical position
from experience and educationa
standpoint.
The men thus selected are as es
sential as the men sent to the front
IS the work of preparing through
the Offices and boards is taxing the
capacity of the men so engaged.
During the next year approximate
ly 100000 men will have to be ex
amined. In each case it is almost a
trial as aside from the questionaires
there is a physical examination. II
is in order to relieve the local board
and furnish the necessary clerica
help that the war department haf
decided to take men who have the
necessary qualifications.

STRONG FLOW OF BRINE
STRUCK IN POTASH WELL
Big Drill in Dixie Valley Encounters
Flow Which Rises 90 Feet in
the Casing

Considerable jubliation was caus-
ed among the local stock holders of
the Dixie Valley Potash Company
when the news reached town, last
Sunday morning that the big drill
had tapped what seems to be the
much sought after brine pool.
The big drill has been churning
its way down for some time and the
men in charge of the work have
bsen confident that the brine pool
was near. On Saturday the drill
passed through twenty-eight feet OF
a formation made up of salts of var.
ious minerals and Immediately be-
meath it strong flow of brine was
struck. The brine was in such vol
ume that it rose sixty feet in the
casing.
Samples of the brine and salts
were at once hurried to San Francis
co for complete analysis and com
pany officials and stockholders are
fguratively holding their breath un-
til the result is known. If the brine
is as rich in potash as it appears to
be. the Dixie Valley field will be one
of the richest yet discovered

MILITARY AVIATORS CANNOT
COME TO NEVADA STATE FAIR

DR.. c. A. Hascall is in receipt of
the following telegram from Senator
Chas. B. Henderson in reply to his
recent request to have Fallon inelud
ed in itinerary of rumored fight of
military aviators over the Sierras:
II regret to advise you that army
officials here have concluded that
the air flight to Fallon is too hazard
Gus with the training planes now at
their disposal on account of the
long distance, limited full capacity
for high attitudes and the lack of
known intermediate landing places.
The shipment of the planes by rail
would seriously interfere with the
training arrangements of the pilots
for overseas duty and would mean
the temporary loss of the services of
flying instructor and several ma
chanics''

reception. Mr.. Kent called atten

vailed In the past of removing Tho

day OF the Fair, but out of deferenc,
to our guests arrangements woul6
be made to hold them over for on

SHERIFF C. N. WAY TELLS
VOTERS WHERE HE STANDS

In the belief that the voters have
a right to know in advance the
views of candidate upon certain
questions of public policy In which
they are interested and which would
come within the scope of his. duties
as public official, l take this meth
cd of informing the public that If
elected Sheriff of Churchill county |
will enforce the law to the best of
my knowledge and ability both in
the letter and in the spirit.
With reference to the pending
referendum on the abolition of the
sale of alcoholic liquors in the State
of Nevada. shall not only vote for
its adoption, but if ii becomes a
law, as l hope and believe it will, as
Sheriff l would deem it my sworn
duty to suppress the Illicit sale of
liquors and would use the full pow
ers of the office to this end.
In view of the immense amount of
clerical and other work in the COM
bined Offices of Sheriff and Assessor,
to which are added the duties and
responsibilities attendant on the po-
sition of Chairman of the Local
Draft Board, 1t will be impossible
for me to make a personal canvass
of the county in the interest of my
candidacy.
Therefore, with this brief state
ment, will leave the subject of my
fitness for the position of Sheriff to
the voters of Churchill county.
