PROsPECTOns COMMG
WITH SPRING WEATHER
Reports Indicate Many Outsid-
ers Are Headed For Eureka
to Locate Wealthy Mines

Scores OF prospsetors, who have
been alternating In almost every town
and community in Nevada, are only
waiting until the Spring weather be-
gins functioning. when they win start
on pilgrimages to Eureka. according
to various informante who have come
here from the outside. Even the most
conservative predict that when Spring
really gains headway, the mountains
and hills around Eureka will resound
with the clinking and thwacking Of
hundreds of picks ALL shovels.
Vanguards of the Invaders have a.
ready arrived and are still coming.
Most of them have been Willing away
the days in town impatientiy waiting
until the weather Will permit them to
get In the hills, taking advantage Of
their enforced idieness In the mean
time by mapping out . campaign for
the coming Summer and Spring.
In fact, during the last few months
q gradual change has been taking
place in Eureka. OF late many Of the
old-timers have declared that they do
not know one-half the people In town
That speaks for itself. The half that
they do not know II comprised Of
strangers who have come to the camp
to claim their share Of the prosperity
now headed this way. Some Of them
are laboring men, but most Of them
are prospectors and mining men who
are looking for property.
One recent arrival declared that
there are over hundred prospectors
In Tonopah now. Who are going to
rush to Eureka al 6lon a. the roads
get in better shape for travelling.
This is reported as being the case In
the other sections Of the State.
This mining district has crying
need for prospectors. Let them come
in and start digging. With almost
every foot of ground mineralized,
they cannot help from striking worth
while discoveries. It Is here, and all
that is needed is pick and shovel work
to prove 1t. Not all who come will
nnd a mine. but putting together all
the opinions of numerous mining ex-
perts who know this district, probab-
ly not another camp In the State can
offer the prospector such possibiii-
ties as can Eureka.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Seniors have made an offer Of
o free ticket to the Senior Dance ON
April 9Th to every student who aids
them by selling ten tickets for the
affair. Get busy every one and try
your luck.
The great number OF class meet
ings that have been held during the
past week is simply amazing. They
are an indication Of the social reviv-
al In our school life and for which we
have been working and planning all
year.
Last Fridays parliamentary drill
proved to be great, but sad to say,
the Senior and Junior girls did not
enjoy 1t as much as one might ex-
pect. They were the ones that at
forded the amusement for the rest Of
the school. and proved the fact that
girls are just as much interested in
politics as boys are supposed to be.

RUBY HILL TRACK COMPLETED

The laying OF the Ruby Hill spur
railroad track was completed this
week, according to o. l. Dasptt OF the
Ruby Hill Development Company.
The road bed is being ballasted as
fast as the condition of the weather
permits.
AS soon az the road Is ready for
traffic 1t Is planned to ship the ore

was never shipped by the company
that previously operated the mine on
account of the railway washout sew

MAJOR HENRY CATl|N
COMES TO EUREKA
Declares Past Winter in New
York and East Most Rigid
Ever Experienced

Major Henry @. Catlin, who arrived
home In New York. said that the past
Winter has been one of the most rig
Id seasons ever known in the East.
The Shrewsbury river. by which Ma
jor Catlin's estate is located. about
so miles south of New York City.
froze over on December 4 and broke
March IS, the longest period that the
surface has ever been known to be
frozen before. 4
Robert M. Catlin. brother of Ma
jor Catlin, owns one Of the two shale
plants at Elko being established to
extract OIL from the shale In Elko
County. my brothers venture is an
experiment" Major Catlin said. HE
Is trying various machinery and test
ing different methods Of treating the
shale. The great problem in the ex-
tracing of oil from shale in this coun-
try is one of quantity production. So
far success has only been attained by
using less than one-ton capacity re-
torts for heating the shale. This is
necessary because shale Is a poor con-
ductor of heat, and large quantities
cannot be treated In single rstort.
Oil can be extracted from shale In
profitable quantities in this country
only when a process is perfected
whereby the shale can be fed into the
retorts in vast amounts and the oil
drawn out. Ordinarily shale-oil can
not compete with natural oil on the
markets, because Of the expense Of
reduction.
THE fires under the retorts In heat
ing the shale volatilizes the oil. con-
verting II into gas. A certain amount
of this gas can be transformed into
gasoline or fuel oil, but some of II
cannot. and this is used as fuel to
heat the retorts. In Scotland shale
with quantities Of oil as low as IL to
20 gallons Is treated. but this Is only
to be done profitably In country
where there Is no natural oil produc-
tion.
"The shale around Elko contains
oils with a paraffin base. Such oils
make much better lubricants than oils
having an asphalt base. and darethere-
fore to an advantage in that respect,
High attitudes seem to produce par
affin oils, and generally hydrocarbons
are never found unless connected In
some way with salt. Usually the
water struck In sinking an oil well Is
salty.
There are some valuable by-pro-
ducts obtained from the shale treated
for oil. The ash. for instance. Is used
In making certain kinds of bricks, In
cement, etc. But after all the sue
cess of treating shale for oil depends
upon the market and the scale of pro-
duction."
Major Catlin has been familiar
with Eureka for many years, and is
confident that this mining district Is
going to experience a revival of pros
perity. His last visit here was last
July. He does not know definitely
how long he will remain here on his
present visit. but will stay long
enough to inspect the property of the
Eureka Croesus Mining Co. of which
he Is originator.

AMERICAN NEWS-PRINT
 CONSUMPTION STATISTICS

According to the summary of the Federal Trade Commission, issued January 1, consumption of news-print in the United States during 1919, as compared with a similar period of 1918, shows an increase of fl per cent.
 During the fourth quarter of 1919 news-p print consumption was running up, according to the Commission, and the increase over q similar period in 1918 would be 25 or 30 per cent. De- cember figures have not yet been tabulated.
 In November, 1919, the 727 pub fishers reporting to the Commission used 161. .6O2 tons of news-print, as compared with 123,874 tons in No- vember. 1918.
 The average cost of news-prtnt at the mills at the beginning of Decem- Der. 1919, was $3.9O per ton as
 against $3.75 a, year ago. The price ! in 1916 was $1.Ss. i News-print production in 1919 ex- l ceeded that of 1918 by a little more l than 8 per cent and that of 1917 less 1 than 1 per cent, according to tenta- 1 tive statistics prepared by the Federal l Trade Commission for the past three years

ITALIANS PLAN FOR WONDERFUL
 VICTORY FETE
Troops Will March Along Historic Highways Used
 By Roman Conquerors.

Rome, Jan. 15.-Italy has not yet had it's victory celebration. The cer- emonies which were to have taken place early this month had to be postponed because of the D'Annunzio incident, and when the palms of vic tory are handed to the heroes of the great war early next spring it will be a celebration not excelled since the most glorious days of the Roman Empire.
 Workmen are now engaged in nak- ing highways by which the troops may pass along exactly the route followed by the forces of Titus and Constantine when they returned to Rome along the Apptan Way and made their way through the Roman Forum to the capitol. The victori- ous army will march under the fa-
 nous arch of Constantine, through the arch of Titus, past the ruins of the Coliseum, which Titus built af- ter his conquest of Jerusalem through the historic ruins of the Roman For um, past what remains of the Temple of the Vesta1 Virgins up the Capitol inc Hill to the Altar of the Father and, the monument greeted to the H. lustrious Victor Emanuel II.
 Since the days of the Empire the center of Rome has undergone many changes and it will require much temporary reconstruction to make ii possible for troops to follow the an- cient highway leading from the Ro- man Forum to the capitol. Conse- quently it will be necessary to build wooden roads over these to accom- modate the cavalry and artillery Part of this road has already been constructed and rises generally from the ruins of the tribune where Marc Antony delivered the funeral ora ton over Julius Caesar to the 1eve of the approaches leading to the cap ito1 steps.
 Cannon and ammunition carts anc motor 1orries will replace the char, | iots and mortars dragged up the fla nous Capitoline Hill centuries ago There will be no elephants and cam 1 els, no prisoners in chains. But air. craft will hover over the ceremony | and attest modern mans conquest ot the air, even though he has never | been able to equal the art achieve ments of pagan Rome when it was the capitol of the entire known world and all discovered portions of Europe
 Asia and Africa were ruled from the very spot where Italian soldiers vii
 receive their palms.

WHEN CANNON WAS MODEST

Joseph G. Cannon, famous ex- Speaker of the House of Representa- tives, was dining at the National Press Club - his favorite place for dining-in Washington. At nearby table, a correspondent had his seven year-oEd boy with him for dinner
 Children are not so self conscious as they used to be- said Uncle Joe,'' noticing that the child was not in the least embarrassed. q guess it is be- cause they get around and see more.
 When I was a child it was an event to go where there was a. crowd or to public affair-and often 8 painful event to me, for I was ter ribly self conscious

BIRTH RATE TRADITIONS
 FALLACIES

Paris, Jan. 15-Traditions that the birth rate of a country always in creases after a war have been proved fa11acies in this city at least, statistics of the prefecture of police showing the rate is still sinking. The num- Der of births in this city in recent months has been higher than ever. but this is said to be due to the fact that the population of Paris has been augmented by 50O,000 persons dur ing the last year. The percentage of births per thousand of population is held to be the vital test, and it is declared to be lower at present than it was before the outbr eak of the war in 1914.
 Poorer quarters of the city show a higher percentage of births than sec tions containing the home of the wealthier citizens.

 SEASON FOR
 LAKE CARRIERS
Almost All Elements An
 tagonistic To Favorable Operations Met.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 15.---A series of adverse circumstances contributed to 8 generally unsatisfactory season for the fleet of 3s5 ships of the Lake Car riers' Associa ton during 1919, accord ing to the annual report submitted to the association's convention here to- day.
 Beginning with the uncertainty in the steel trade las tspring, the report said, almost all known elements an- tagonistic to favorable operations were encountered. The strike of ore and coal handlers occurring simulta- neously with the railroad shopmen's strike, followed by the stee; workers and miners walkouts, served to check the movement of coal and ore during the greater part of the season; the Ilongshoremen's strike which choked export elevators reflected upon the fall grain movement, and as a climax the final month of navigation wal \ marked by a severity of weather un. precedented in score of years, the report stated.
 1 The total net tonnage for the sea- son was given as 91, 500, ,O00 agains1 114 600 600 during 1918. Ore, shipment: showed a decline from 1918 of approx imately 14, ooo, 900 tons with a total O.

HORROR TRAINS
 OPERATING ON
 SIBERIAN ROADS

Tokio, Jan. 15.-The death trains constitute a fearful feature of the Si- berian railroad, says Colonel R. B. Teusler, American Red Cross com missioner to Siberia. Into these trains are packed at the front. say, 500 re- fugees most of them suffering from typhus or some other disease and fn- fested with vermin.
 The trains are sent eastward from Vladivostock. None of the towns along the way want the refugees to be added to their own troubles so the trains are passed along, the refu- gees dying on the way. By the time the train reaches Vladitostock ire quently more than half the sufferers have died. As the bodies are re- fresh passengers are likely to be thrust fin their places
 Another feature of the suffering o1 the inhabitants, according to Colonel Teusler, is the towns composed of dugouts which are to be found in many places. They consist of hun dreds of holes dug in the ground 1n which the inhabitants are herded Smallpox is frequently among them.
 Colonel Teusler said that under wear is one of the greatest needs o1 the Serbian people. Many girls o1 people who were formerly welI-to-dc are now clothed in rags. If they could have ribbons and simple faces he said, 1t would help to support the morale of the people.
