SAYS GREAT NEED
IS MORE MINERS

The greatest need of the mining in
duTtry in Nevada as well as other
mining states, is miners. according to
Colonel W a. Root of San Francisco.
one OF the best known pioneer miners
of the West. Colonel Root arrived in
Rea0 Yesterday on business for the
Mining and Scientific Press. He has
just completed a trip beginning at
Portland and extending through Ore
gon. Washington. Idaho. Montana,
Utah and Nevada. where he visited
the various mining centess
1.-THE most noticeable feature of
mining in this state. IS the coll
onel, "is he great number of new
mineral ZONES being prospected. This
is mostly silent mining. Few hear
Of the prospects until development
has progressed. But I find that in
dozens CT localities prospectors are
working in lodges showing excellent
indications of silver and lead. ! am
convinced that within the next few
years there will be ndmsrous mining
zones opened in Nevada that will
equal any as PRODUCER"
The colonel was one of the first
men 10 begin mining in Leadyille'
Colorado, and was the first justice Of
the peace in Aspen. He worked as a
journalist in Colorado in the early
'7O's and is familiar with the history
Of men and events there from the
first days of mining.
II found the country around Ely,
MoGill and those communities need
ing only labor to become producine
centers." he said. Il was amazed e.
the prospects in Arrowhead and I ar
certain Nevada has just begln dc
velopment of its vast resources i
metals"
Colonel Root will remain in Reno

gallons OF moonshine whiskey and
various paraphernalia used in the IL
lict tralnc. says the Ely Times. r.

county Jail.
The still was running full blast
when Sheriff EnsIow entered the
place. lie waited outside for some
time to see what was going on be-
fore entering and watched the kegs
of fermented corn being loaded into a
truck to be taken to the garbage pile.
He said this corn could be smelied
for 200 feet. While he was watching
he said several people passed in and
out of the cabin, which indicated that
the place was doing a good business.
The still was located in the back
room and going in through the front
room, Enslow entered the place with
out any one seeing him. He said he
stood il the doorway and watched
Myers working at the still, with his
fire going. the brew sizzling, and all

small gas heater, a large milk can of
fifteen or twenty gallons capacity and
a spiral siphon. The moonshine,
when tested. proved to be the genu-
inc stuff. A little of it was tested by
burning and showed that it had a
large percentage Of alcohol. All it
lacked was the eoloring. which Is at
tanned by several different methods

RICE SAW MILLIONS
IN TONOPAH DIVIDE

George Graham Rice. after a two
day stay in Tonopah has left for the
Broken Hills, accompanied by Arthur
Perry Thompson, the far-famed geo
logist. says the Times, Mr.. Thomp-
son will return { o Tonopah within a
fortnight, and with Tonopah as his
headquarters. will make extensive
geological examinations of the new
bonanza camps of Silverton ard
Tolicha.
Silverton is the new rich silver
camp, 100 miles northeast Of Tono-
pah on the road to Ely. Tolicha is
situated sixty-ive miles southeast of
Goldfeld. Rice made it plain that
big interests with which he is as
sociated will, in the immediate flu
ture. take up the cudgels of both Sill
verton and Tolieha and see to it that
the investment world. east and west
north and south. learn all about the
merits of both. A rush has already
begun to both districts.
Rice was the guest of the manage
ment of the Tonopah Divide Mining
company during his visit in Tono-
pah. After q four-hour visit under
ground in the Dive mine. Rice said
II saw $4,000, 900 worth of ore in
the Tonopah Divide mine. if | saw
any. There is a lean streak on the
5S5-foot level, but the idea in some
peoples minds. and in mine previous
to my visit, that the mine has been
bottomed at the 5S5-foot level. is the
purest kind of fiction.
Since Engineer Julian's report
was written, from which the impress
sion was gathered that the mine was
bare of ore at the 5S5-foot level, the
deepest level, two big blocks of high
grade ore. one Of which is FULLY
twelve feet wide and s%eventy-two fee
long, have been opened up in the
main vein on the 585.
Every bonanza mine has its lear
streaks. In fact. the bigger the mine
the bigger the lean streaks when they
are met with. It would be a miracle

showing on the 5S5 is no indication
that both the 500 and 1000 will no
prove as rich as the 3S5, where the
showing is Sc big that even ones
imagination is staggered. I expec'
that the mine will give It's best ac
count at depth.

a little more publicity given to the
fact that the mine is by no means

FOREIGNERS LEAVE
FOR OLD COUNTRY

An exodus of Italians and French
from Nevada back to Europe is re-
parted by the internal revenue Office
in Reno, where all must come to OBJ
tain sailing permits. From FIVE to ten
are leaving this state daily and re-
turning to their former homes in
Italy or France, according to Frank
w. Conehay. chief deputy, says the
Reno Gazette.
Most Of those leaving are Italians
and while many assert they intend to
return to America it is expected they
will settle in Europe, buying homes
with money earned in this country.
1t is necessary for resident aliens
to obtain a clearance from the in
ternal revenue department showing
that all income taxes have been paid
before a ticket can be obtained from
a steamship company. This clear
ance is obtained from the nearest in
ternal revenue Office and is issued
upon sworn statements Of employers
regarding wages for the year.
Several hundred have complied
with the regulations this year, ac-
cording to department records. All
have saved sufficient money to per-
nit their trip abroad whether they
intend returning to America or set
ting at the old home in Europe.

AMERICA FACING
 BIG FOOD CRISIS
 ASSERTS HOOVER

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25.- In letter addressed to Representa- tive Riddick, of Montana, former Federal Food Administrator Herbert Hoover declares that the decrease Tn agricultural production in this country may result in the United States becoming dependent, to a certain extent, upon the food sup plies of European countries.
 He suggests the creation of a commission composed of highly trained farmers, skilled economists and financial experts to consider the cause of decreased production and suggest remedies.
 The defiation of prices, Hoover points out, must not begin on the farmers of the country. The burden of taxation, he says further, is wrongfully distributed, and the mar keting system now existing is waste full. These are evils, he believes, that can and should be corrected by such a commission as he suggests. Immediate action is urged.

NATIVE |S INJURED
 BY SHOT FROM GUN

Charley Albert, native belong ing to the village, was severely in jured in the thigh at an early hour this morning as the result of the accidental discharge of his gun while he was on a hunting expedition in the vicinity of Julius creek. He is now a patient at the Government hospital, having been brought to town as soon as possible after the accident had been made known to the authorities.
 The injured man, it appears, was crossing bridge south of town, carrying his gun much after the fashion of a walking-sti with the butt down. At one place on the bridge the logs were not close to- gether, and in dropping the gun down the butt passed between the logs, and in the process of raising it again the hammer came in con tact with one of the logs and the gun was discharged, the shot enter ing the feshy part of the thigh, causing a painful but not particu- larly serious injury.
