ANTI-SuB FLOTILLA NOW
ON MISSISSIPPI RIVE


The aHti-sHbmarine flotilla which
the navy department assembled for
a visit to the Mississippi river and
its tributaries, is now on the river.
It includes the U. S. N. submarine
K-5, the destroyer Isabel, the sub
marine chasers and the flying boats,
all of which, with majority Of their
officers, have seen active service in
the war zone. They completely IL
lustrate the types of ships, guns and
equipment which were used in fight
ing the "U-boats." The flotilla was
sent to the Mississippi to give the
people of this section every opportu-
nifty of seeing these ships, and Of
making a close inspection Of them.
Preceded by several days start by
one Of the chasers, the flotilla is
passing up the river to ST. Louis.
This port will be made the northern
base, and on the trip down a visit
will be made to all Of the principal
ports on either side of the river. In
event of several towns being grouped,
or accessible to a landing, the flotilla
will call at the nearest landing. The
itinerary is now being completed and
every town to be visited will be no
titled in ample time Of the coming
of the navy fleet. A scout chaser will
leave st. Louis in advance Of the flo
tilla to call at all towns to complete
arrangements.
1t is also planned to have ships Of
the flotilla call at the principal ports
on the Ohio above Cairo, the Missis-
sippi above st. Louis, and the Illinois
river. The exact dates Of the timer
airy will be announced.
The flotilla carries a navy band, a
glee club of bluejackets and a base
ball team. A display will be made
at each port Of motion pictures Of
navy life and training.

Shoe factories IA Sweden have
closed, dealers being unwilling to bus

present prices
We think this splendid time to
buy dry goods, shoes and clothing.
Manufacturers, iobbers and whole
salers are advancing their prices ev-
cry day, and we look for higher pric-
es in the near future than we have
ever seen. High cotton, high labor,
high foodstuff, high freight rates
and scarcity Of merchandise will

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Has More Than Doubled Member
 ship Since February I5.

Secretarr Gil Rankin of the NogaleS Chamber of Commerce. has sent the following letter to the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Washington, D. O.:
 It may be of interest to you to know that, without any ad vertising and without any par ticular campaign, this organiza- tiou has more than doubled it's membership since February 15, following the adoption of a. Bud get Plan of financing the Cham Der and changing method of col 1ecting dues from monthly to quarterly.
 Due to the immense amount of war work which fell upon the Chamber and upon it's secretary, the membership had not kept pace with the growth of the community in population and prosperity. Upon completing g the urgent war work. former secretary, J. B. Bristol, secured an assistant, ulniShed him with a list showing the Budget Com mittee's assessment of every business house and business man in Nogales, and sent him out to collect. Within six weeks the membership had been increased from 70 to 12O, and since the present secretary's election April 1-there has been an in- crease of 23 members.
 Population, about 6.OOO.
 Each quarter new Budget Committee of three directors re- views the finances of the prev ious quarter, approXimates eX- penditures for the forthcoming quarter, and bases it's assess ments against the business es- tabliShmentS upon the amount required for the quarter. How ever, every business establish ment, including non- members, is apportioned an assess ment and invited to take membership. Failure to become members any particular quarter means simply that assessment will be an nounced and another invitation issued the following quarter.
 Under the Budget Plan,. ex- penses are divided into classes telegraph, office rent, salaries, printing, etc-and the amount allotted for any particular class of expense cannot be exceeded except by special permission from the Budget Committees; and money allotted for one class of expense cannot be spent for any other purpose without per mission"

Improved Road
West Necessary

The recent large deal whereby the
Roadside mine. located in the Frei-
berg district, changed hands for
consideration of $4,000 emphasizes
the admitted fact that, If Phoebe is
to hold the vast trade that Is to come
from the western part of Lincoln
county, something must be done to-
ward improving the road to that To-
cality. Ii the mine owners and
stockraisers of that district find ii
necessary to construct their own
roads they will undoubtedly select
routes connecting with improved
roads to cities in neighboring coun-
ties, as this would entail a far less
outlay of cash. Good roads to both
Ely and Tonopah are not far dstan,
from this district, and this trade is
/ sure to flow the route of least resist
ance. AS the distance is shorter tC
Pioche this community is sure to
reap the benefits of improved trans
portation facilities.

Phoebe Editor
Boosts the South

A A. Sherman, editor of the Pi-
oche Record, arrived in Reno this
morning to attend the melting of the
Nevada editors, says the Reno Ga
zette. This Is my first visit to Reno
and am much impressed with the
substantial character of the business
houses and neat and clean condition
of the city," he said.
Above all things the Southern
editor is strong booster for his
home community. In an interview
with the Gazette, he said.
las you know, our chief industry
in Lincoln county is mining. Great
opportunities await any man there
with little money and brains.
Everything in the camp is looking
fine and we anticipate much new de-
velopment this summer Recent
strikes of large bodies of high grade
silver ore prove absolutely that the
early pioneers in the mining industry
found but a small portion Of the min
eral wealth that abOunds' IN the
mountains in all directions from
Phoebe. The strikes of the present
| day are not confined to the small
section lying within mile or two
of Piocne, as were the early-day &C
tivities, but high grade ore is being
found practically on the surface
within a radius Of fifty miles OF the
town.
Much ground in the old workings
is being worked by leasers, who ar'
realizing far better than wages ant
also laying a foundation for futur'
wealth. New leases are being sign
ed nearly every day. The mail
value to community of this metho,
of mining lies In the fact that, wit
the exception of transportation an
treatment, all the money stays a
home.
Our great need Is milling facill
ties for the concentration and treat
ment of the large amount OF low
, grade ores that are uncovered In ou
, quest for the higher values. On
! small mill Is now in successful opel
alton and we have hopes that will
a in a short. time local company vi
h succeed in establishing another,
: a short time we could supply
v thousand tons of milling ore da
: il there were facilities for handlin
that amount.

By virtue of assisting in tire dis

Dorothy and Jennie.
Word was whispered around Pi-
oche last Wednesday that Grove
would like to connect with a piece
Of change for his interest in the
claims that he might be sure of a
competency in his old age, This
news reached the ear of AL Carman
who decided to start out bright anu
early Thursday morning for the rich
diggings Of the Comet and close a
deal before other possible buyers
could arrive on the ground.
After closing hour Wednesday

Sheriff ROeder
Hard of Hearing

Last week Bill Powell of Caliente
hied himself to Phoebe to serve his
country as juryman in the district
court. The routine proceedings in
an attempted murder case was be-
ginning to have its effect on all pres
ent, and chair warmer in the au-
dience imposed upon the dignity OF
the court so far as to go to sleep,
The noise from that direction was
becoming more audible with each in
halation of the breath. Judge Walsh
enjoyed the concert as long as possi-
BILE. and finally said to Jack Roeder
Sheriff. please awaken that Jew.
Sheriff Roeder, who had been OBJ
serving the sandman at work in the
jury box, misunderstood the wore
Jew" for Juror" and thereupol
approached Juror Bill Powell of Cal
iente, who appeared to the officer
least able to keep his eyes open, ant
gave him good shaking.
After the audience had regainet

Amalgamated Mill
May Be Operated

The movement which has been on
foot for some time past to lease and
operate the Amalgamated mill cul
minated last Tuesday evening in a
meeting in the Office of Attorney A.
l.. Scott of mining men and others
interested in the upbuilding Of Pi
oche. The meeting was called for
the purpose Of considering PROPOSE
tion from the Amalgama.ed corpora
tion to lease the mill to local COM
pany to be formed for that pur-
pose.
The entire proposition was dis
cussed and considered from every
point of view. While the conditions
imposed by the Amalgamated cor.
poration were not considered in q
favorable light, it was the opinion
of nearly every one that if these con
ditions were modified in several par
ticulars 1t would be good business tt
run so Or 100 tons of selected ore
| through in order to make practica
! test.
John r. Cook was empowered t
| select practical committee of thre,
| to consider the practicability o
slightly remodeling the mill to max
it avaoilable for handling the afffer
ent low grade ores of the district
! This committee will probably repor
to another meeting next week.
