DRIVE
NOW ON in
NEVADA
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
TO AID ENLISTING CAM
PAIGN

On juno ) the San Francisco army
recruiting district started a cam
paign for enlistment in all branches
of the service and the drive will be
continued in Nevada until represen-
tatives of the Reno recruiting sta
ton has visited all the principal
communities in the state. The
campaign in Nevada will be under
direction of Sergeant Jeffrey, who
has been in charge of the Reno sta
ton since April L. At a meeting of
the county council of defense last
night this campaign was discussed.
Heretofore, as has been noticed in
Goldfield on numerous occasions,
drafted boys have been given big
send-offs when they left for training
camps and volunteers have received
much smaller demonstrations. This
has been due to the fact that, while
the local exemption board has always
arranged for celebrations in honor
of drafted boys, there has been no
. organization for this purpose inter-
ested in the enlisted men and conse-
quently they have often been slight
ed.
This has all been changed now
and demonstrations for enlisted men
have been placed in the hands of the
various county councils of defense
and in future this deficiency will be
corrected, as it has become one of
the duties of defense councils to
keep posted on the movements of en-
listed men and to provide suitable
farewell demonstrations at the time
of their entrainment.
AS it is also the duty of councils
to assist in recruiting campaigns, a
big demonstration will be arranged
here for the arrival of Sergeant
Jeffrey, who started his campaign in
Carson on June 8 and who will ar
rive here in a short time.

GOLD TOP NINE IN
COPPER DEPOSITS
LANDER COUNTY PROPERTY is
REPORTED IN EXCELLENT
SHAPE

The Gold Top Mining company
is now in readiness to sink its
double compartment shaft. The
purpose is to sink on the vein from
the tunnel level to a depth of from
500 to 1000 feet.
The recently incorporated COM
pany is being financed to a great
extent by local people.
The property, nine miles from
town, has been operated for over
a year under the supervision of j.
G. Graft. Considerable develop
ment work has been done, approxi-
mately 600 feet of tunnel work
with extensive drifting. Numerous
veins have been cut, one, 1870 feet
from the portal, carries good values
in gold and silver and shows copper
in it's native state, assays running
from 2 to Z per cent in copper.
The copper values increasing with
gold as a %by-product as depth is
attained.
At approximately 270 feet from
this vein a body of ore the extent
of which is not known has recently
been encountered. The vein has
been stripped for 20 feet, the ore
is in the sulphides containing sill
yer and gold with a secondary en-
richment of copper.
The mine, originally operated
for gold, has e large ore
bodies on the surface running from
2 to SO dollars in gold with some
silver and showing copper stain
with traces of copper, though not
of a marketable value.
The unexpected break into the
copper-bearing veins on the tunnel
level at a vertical depth of 100 feet
gives promise of putting the Gold
Top in the copper producing class.
The character of the orebodies
discovered show every indication
of being deep seated. The mine
undoubtedly has q great future
because of its big veins instead of
pocket formation. = Battle Noun

One Trip In 81 Years

Billie" Miller, n of the few
old-time freighters and stage driv-
ers remaining in the state, recently
celebrated his S0th birthday at Elko.
Miller came to Nevada in 1867 and
since then has been out of the state
but once, when he made a short trip
to San Francisco. From 1897 until
rheumatism disabled him he drove
stages on the Tuscorora line and
then cared for the stage horses until
hey were replaced by automobiles.

MANGANESE Mines
|NTREASE OUTPUT
PROPERTIES NEAR LAS VEGAS
PREPARE FOR HEAVY
SHIPMENTS .

The Manganese Association, Inc,
which was recently taken over by
the Sterling BOrax company of Cal
ifornia, represented by Thomas
T%horkildsen of Los Angeles, is ar
ranging to double the output of
manganese at this point, says a
Las Vegas report, and before the
middle of the month the tonnage
will show a material increase to
keep pace with the needs of the
steel manufacturers. The mine
was only opened in November, 1917,
but the development has been
rapid.
The Las Vegas manganese mine,
the main portion of which is
known as the Three Kids claim,
was original located b Bob I'd
wards, one of the best known pros
pectors in Southern Nevada. Soon
after the discovery Messrs. Gillice,
Mccoy and Connors, who had been
looking over the surrounding prop
erty, made a lease with Edwards
and associates and started to oper-
ate the mine. During the first
three months of 1918 the mine
produced approximately 5000 tons
of ore and the three operators or
ganized a company with additional
capital to aid in development.
They were considerably handi-
capped on account of road and
hauling conditions and were in
duced to part with their holdings

MODERN AIRPLANE

ATLANTIC
COURAGES IDEA OF JOY
RIDING

LONDON, June 5. - Airplane
trips from England to America are
quite feasible by use of a machine
travelling day and night at the rate
of 100 miles an hour, declared F.
Handley Page, inventor of a type
of machine named for him, in a
recent statement to the represen-
tative of the Daily Express.
81 have received a cablegram
from Canada congratulating me on
the construction of a machine to
travel to and from America" con-
t;nued the inventor, but l have
no such machine on hand.
THE trip would be from Ireland
to New York, via Newfoundland,
being 100 miles. An alternative
journey to America would be via
tile Azores. On the steady 100
miles-an-hour basis you can COM
pute all the long-distance run that
occur to you, including weekend
trips to China and Peru.
For short distances, such as
London to Manchester, l am not in
clined to think that a%irplanes will
take the places of railways unless
in oase of pressing urgency. a
comfortable first-class carriage in
a test train will continue ID tc a.
more usual course of travel. Tie
all rl,ne has a great adyanta &c o.
speed, but it has severe handicaps
in the way of wind and fog and
other adverse climatic conditions.
Il do not think that after the
wal wealthy men will take up pri-
vate motorcars. Few people can
afford private yachts. and "a plea
sure airplane would be as expen-
s.ve as a yacht.
I'm the course of time bigger
machines will be built with more
powerful engines to direct them.
hut l can see no immediate prospect
Of turning put airplanes that will
caYy as many passengers as ocean
liners. We must continue to be-
ware of hot air in airplane prophe-
cies."

SOW TURNIPS
THIS WEEK

Memphis, Tenn, February 25.-
Sow turnips this week for pig feed.
The turnips will save half to three
fourths of the corn that the pigs
will need without them. Sow two
pounds of seed an acre. Sow every
two weeks until April lst. Sow
on new ground or land that is rich.
It is a waste of seed to SOW on poor
land without manuring it well.
Early Milan is the earliest vari-
ETY. and is ready to feed in go days
after seeding The supply of seed
of this sort is short. The Purple
Top Strap Leaf is the standard va
riety. 1t is ready to feed in about
70 days after sowing.
Turnips yield on good soil about
$50 bushels an acre and this guam
tlty has q feed value for pigs equal
to 25 bushels of corn. From these
figures the swine growers can de-
termine how much to SOW. The
turnirs are off the land early
enough to be followed by corn or
any other regular crop.
Turnips should be cooked with
as little water as possible and not
have them burn. When they be-
come thoroughly cooked, let them
become cool enough to eat. Then
mix a little grain with them and
feed warm, but not hot. Do not
cook the grain. Cooking reduces
the food value of grain, but in

railroads the same service for pri-
vate comforts that we did before
our Government became a patron
to the extent of nineteen billion
dollars year.
In a word, none would ever
dream from the habits and de-
meanor of the people that our
country is facing the most serious
crisis in it's history.
1t is time for the people to awake
and realize the war can not be won
merely by soldiers in the field.
Every man, woman and child must
get into the fight. The very first
evidence to be found of the loyalty
of any community in this country
now is the continual demand for
Thrift Stamps.
If the people are saving and buy
ing the stamps, they are helping
the boys whip the Germans. II
they are not, they are leaving the
boys unsupported. If it would be
remembered that every Thrift
Stamp means five more bullets for
the kaiser, probably there would
be more response to the Govern
ment's appeal.
The crisis is facing all the peo-
pie and if the country should fail,
not person could escape part of
the blame.

There is an evil which I have
seen under the sun, and it is COM
mon among men.-Ecclesiastes
vi [.
Indeed did the sacred writer ut
ter a great truth by the above
declaration. There was and is to-
day existing a great evil under the
sun. The great and awful blight
ing evil is spiritual apathy. APP
palling Indifference of manking to
the duty they owe to their Creator.
Appalling neglect as regards those
things which have reference to
their future and eternal state of
existence.
How many people, with no le-
gitimate excuse, idly sat around
home or went visiting to this or
that place last Sunday? What did
God proclaim the sabbath for?
Nothing more nor less than that
man might have a day all to itself
on which to seek spiritual food.
Listen, dear reader, aud let it
burn itself into your brain, these
perilous times have come upon the
world all because of this great evil.
Such large portion of the human
family has been, all down through
the ages, affected with this fearful
evil until that eternal fiat of AL
mighty God, Whatsoever man
soweth that shall he also reap" is
now the bitter experience of COM
paratively all of the human race.
The writer would not like to be
referred to as a religious fanantic.
But there can not be an effect with
out cause. This evil under the
sun produces just such perilous
times as we are now experiencing.
God will not be moked.
Is it not high time we were wax
ing up to the fact that we are
blinded by the god of this world
and being led captive by the devil
at will?

seen under the sun, and it is COM

GREAT CRISIS
is AT HAND


has abandoned her allies, made an
enforced peace with Germany and
Austria and ordered the demobili-
cation of her army. Roumania,
too, by the force of circumstances,
and by reason Of her resulting iso~
)ation, is about to follow the exam
pie of her more powerful ally.
Thus the forces of Democracy
have been decimated by millions
Of people who can not be depended
upon further for aid, not even SYM
pathy and probably not neutrality.
The allies are expecting Russia and
the Ukraine to give Germany right
of way to the great wheat fields and
In the mineral districts, whence i'm
mense supplies of food and raw ma
terials may be available for the
German arms during the year.
Roumania doubtless will be for
ced to extend aid she would never
voluntarily agree to. The fate of
war has run against this heroic
little country. Her people will
bleed with the allies and pray for
their success, but at the same time
her corn and wheat and potatoes
will be commandered by sheer
force of the Germans, even to the
deprivation of the Roumanians
But even more serious as an i'm
mediate menace, Germany will
have millions of men, fit for some
sort of war service, released from
Russian prisons aud from. the Rus
sian front to throw against the
allies in Flanders, Belgium and
France. The report is now that
the great drive that is to come is
to be against the American forces
occupying trenches in the Verdun
sector. Already the Germans have
100000 men on the western front.
A million more will give them a
vast superiority in numbers.
All the German soldiers are well
equipped. They are well fed, too,
even though the civilian population
ls starving. German people have
either voluntarily, or by force of
the kaiser's government, sacrificed
to the limit, eating little, wearing
nothing, so to speak, and surren-
dering all their pleasures.
The German soldiers are fat,
healthy and strong. Those on the
Russian front are seasoned veter-
ans, who will doubtless take the
place Of the youths and men of
more advanced age that have been
conscripted the past winter for SER
vice at the front.
German labor has been forced
to, return to work in the wunition
factories at the point of the bayo-
net. So far as can be seen in the
United States, Germany is ready
for the most vicious and threaten
ing drive of the war. Experts are
expecting it within the next two
weeks. Any days dispatches may
bring the news of thousands of
American boys killed in their
trenches. It is the time when real
fighting is to be done and there
must be some sacrifice of life.
Causality lists will soon appear
daily in the newspapers.
But what are we, the civilian
population of America, doing about
it? That is easy to answer. We
are eating all we want of all the
various kinds of food we choose.
We are wearing the same expen-
sive clothing We have become &C
customed to during years of plenty
and safety.
We are patronizing the shows.

German Prisoner Says
All His Friends Would
Be Glad to Surrender
(By Associated Press. }


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE FRONT. Sept. 10. -
German prisoner captured recently
suggested to his captors that they
send a note from him to German sol
diers by airplane or otherwise, ex-
planning that the report that Ameri-
cans kill German prisoners IS untrue.
He said that many Germans were sick
Of fighting and would surrender If
they were assured that Americans do
not kill their prisoners, as the Ger
mans have been led to believe by their
officers.
An appeal written in English call
ing upon Americans of German ances-
try to join the forces of Gel many has
been dropped behind the American
lines by enemy aviators. It has also
been sent into the American lines by
means of small balloons. This appeal
asserts that in Germany the Ameri-
cans would find greater liberty and
more opportunity for advancement
than in the United States. It attacks
President Wilson and asserted that he
is more English than American. Ger
many is pictured as one poor little ma
tion, defending herself against the
vicious attacks of the armies of the
whole world.
