MINE
HAS RICH ORE

According to reports there has
been another important gold strike
made In the mountains adjacent to
Paradise valley. From what can
be learned the discovery was made
by George Reed and Arthur Lille
in the Santa Rosa range and not
far from the Dooley ranch. The ore
is an oxidized quartz and samples
brought to Winnemucca assayed as
high as $50 in gold to the ton.
1t is said that the ledge from
which the samples were taken is
from six to seven feet wide. A
number of parties from here were
at the strike yesterday and all re-
port that the showing there is very
good. The ore is free milling and
shows a long string of colors in the
pan. A number of locations have
been made in the vicinity of the
strike.
With the gold discovery made a
short time ago near Spring City, a
little farther north in the same
range, 1t now looks as If the people
Of Paradise Wiley would again wit
ness another mining boom, such as
occurred when the old Paradise
mines were among the big produ-
GERS in the state.-Humboldt Star.

MASON VALLEY PLANT
TREATING 1000 TONS

With the smelter capacity doubled
the Mason Valley district is in high
~ prosperous condition, according
to word brought from the camp yes
ierday by Manager Grant Snyder of
the Malachite. The smelter is hand
ling 1000 tons of ore a day since
tine new stack was placed in oper-
alton. The Mason Valley mine is
supplying about 500 tons a day, the
Bluestone about the same, the Me-
vada-D Douglas about 200 tons, and
the Malachite is contributing its
share.
Mr.. Snyder reports that the ne's
f,otation mill Of the Bluestone is
practically completed and soon will
bein operation. The mill will have
a capacity of between 100 and 100
tons a day.-Yerington Times.

BELlEHtlEM MINE
PROVING VALUABLE
RICH ORE is EXPOSED BY OWN
ERS IN DRIVING
ADIT

The Bellehelen Mining company,
at the camp of the same name in
the eatern part of Nye county, Is
preparing for a campaign with the
idea of developing large ore reserves
before entering into a contract for
the construction of a mill. The
company, which had been composed
chiefly of Messrs. Cornforth and
Sweet of Denver, has expanded by
taking in Nevada capital represent
ed by j. B. Wainwright, an auto man
of Reno. and Henry Schmidt of To-
nopah, who invested after making
a careful survey of the situation.
The surrounding country is report
ed in good shape, and 1t is the con
viction of prospectors that other
pay properties will be uncovered
there before another winter closes in.
About a half mile from the Belle
helen mine a couple of old timers
located a group of claims last fall,
and when they found the SHOWS too
deep for sinking a shaft they be-
gan driving a tunnel from a distance
down the hillside. This tunnel was
driven by hand power and not much
Roadway was made, but the fortu-
nate owners were treated to a sur
prise last week when they encoun-
tered a vein that gave good returns,
Arrangements were closed for
getting put a small shipment, as the
locators are in need of the money,
and it is related that several miners
from here have been taken in on a
leasing basis. If this strike should
prove permanent it will furnish q
strong incentive for others to stake
out claims in that section, which
has not been prospected to any ex-
tent.-Gazette.

No Market for Spuds

There are three cellars in the
Eagle valley. in Lincoln county, that
contain 20 tons of fine potatoes.
This represents only a part of the
leftover crop of this district. The
owners of the potatoes say they
would be glad to take rs cents per
hundred for all they have on hand
and that in a few days they will start
feeding them to stock. 1t is said
that what is true of the Eagle val
ley in this respect is also true of
other parts of Lincoln county and
that there are a half million pounds
of potatoes in the county for which
no market can be found.

DOUGLAS
EARNINGS BIC

The Nevada-Douglas statement
for the month Of February shows
net operating profits of $19,935.
This, together with the railroad
earnings of $4,000 gives a total
of about $4,000, which, allowing
tor the short month, compares
favorably with the earnings for
January. This shows a net earn
ing in excess of 10 per cent inter-
est on $3.50 a share for the out
standing Nevada-Douglas stock.
The showing is a good one when
You consider that smelter charges
cost of powder and all kinds of
supplies for mining and labor have
been increased. The earnings show
a very large profit on the present
selling price of the stock, and we
have reason to believe that these
earnings will increase as the season
advances.

1. W. w. Escorted From Sparks

Given his choice between kissing
the flag or decorating the end of
a rope attached to the limb of a
tree at the Nevada-California state
tine, W. Merriman, an alleged L. w.
w. agitator who is said to have
poured seditious talk into the ears
of several audiences at Sparks dur

former and was then told to con-
tinue his journey into California.
Merriman had been working as an
extra brakeman for the Southern
Pacific. Mystery surrounds the
identity of the little party Of men
that took him in charge, but 1t be-
lieved there would have been a
silent warning among the pines had
he refused to do homage to the

them in a more secure position than the one previously occupied. The fact that south of Peronne the Ger mans went back to the Canal du Nord and the Somme may indicate that they will retire to the same canal north of Peronne, where it runs to- ward Cambrai
 British pressure on the north and the French position along the Disc do not make the Canal du Nord a very strong line, because it can be out flanked from the north and from the south. The French, at the juncture of the Disc and the Ailette, could cut in behind the canal and, at least, are so placed as to impede and seriously harass any hurried withdrawal from the region about Ham and Noyon.
 German resistance is reported tc have increased as the British and French have moved eastward south of the Somme. This may indicate that the enemy intends to make an. other temporary stand at the Somme and the Canal du Nord. Meanwhile the British south of the Scarpe are eating into the old German defense: with success. The fate of the Hin | denburg line depends on the situation : (Continued on page 2.)

While the enforced retirement of the enemy from the Roye-Chaulnes line adds to the difficulties of the German troops north of the Somme, French and American troops under Gen. Mangin have struck at the vital salient north of Soissons. An ad- vance of nearly one mile has been made in the Chavigny region. The Allies here are driving toward the heights at the western end of the Chemin des Danes, imperilling the German lines both to the east and the west. To the east, along the Vesle, the Germans have reacted violently against the Americans at Ffsmette and had regained that village last night in heavy fighting. The enemy, however, did not succeed in crossing the Vesle, which evidently was his intention
 Berlin says 250 Americans were made prisoner here and in Bazoches several miles to the west. At Bazoches the Americans gained a strong fOothold in the village in stubborn fighting.
