GRAVE HUNTERS STILL BUSY
Gangs Of Searchers Wander About in
Quest Of Overlooked Bodies of
Fallen Heroes.

Ypres Is today as she was In 1918
To the east, south and north stretches
an ugly, shell-chopped lifeless terrain,
where gangs of body snatchers' (the
Tommys' name for grave hunters) are
still wandering. Now and then, in
some out-of-the-way, grass-stuffed
crater they still find a weather-soaked
uniform, gray or khaki. with a human
skeleton inside II. They gather the
bones together in a sack and carry
them back to headquarters.
Or, they find a forgotten grave, prob
ably marked by a little rain-blackened

ted with these erosses-the only cpl

dig up the bodies. put them In sacks,
too, and bring them away for reburial.
Wrecked tanks, wagons, trucks, am
munition dumps, pill boxes are scat
tered up to the horizon. Four miles
down the Menin road from Ypres many
British tanks lie In one field, called the

The Oversight Mining Company,

Shortage of American Leather.

There is much complaint on the part
of Belgian shoe manufacturers because
Of the recent heavy purchases from
abroad. At the same time local manu-
facturers are greatly handicapped be
cause of a shortage of all materials,
particularly of American leather. With
a view of ameliorating the situation
the Syndicate of Shoe Manufacturers
of Belgium has taken up with the gov
eminent the question of producing o
national standard shoe at a standard
price. 1t is thought that in this way
the home manufacturer may be able
TO produce an article to sell at not
more than 80 francs, thus fulfilling an
urgent public denand and at the same
time stimulating and protecting the ma
honal industry.

OVERSIGHT MINE At
TON0PAH DEVELOPED

TONOPAH, New, Feb. 27-In speak
ing of new mining fields in Nevada it
has been common to say, why, the
state hasn't been really scratched
yet That, of course, is an exaggera-
ton, even when considered in a
figurative sense-it takes consider
able scratching to produce 81, 500. 000,-
900 worth of metals-but it is amaZ-
ing to recall the number of rich mines
with surface groupings telling the
story of mineral wealth below, that
have been found in Nevada after hav-
ing been overlooked by thousands of
good miners, biologists and en-
gineers, who have almost daily, for
years, labored within a stones throw,
even if they did not actually walk
on the groupings. In a number of
instances these groupings have been
so rich in gold and silver it would
seem impossible that a keen prospec-
tor or mining engineer could have
passed over them without realizing
their value, but such is the case.
The pest miners and the best en-
cheering geological talent have been
engaged in taking over 500, 000, 900 in
silver and gold from the mines of
Tonopah in the last twenty years,
and yet in all that time there has
been but little development in the
vicinity of one of the best looking
quartz groupings in the district. These
groupings, covering an aera 200x100
feet, are a scant three miles west of
where the Tonopah Mining Company
has taken out over $685. 00, 900 and
paid over SIS, 900, 900 in dividends, and
is less than two miles west of where
the West End Company is mining the
biggest and richest ore body in Tono-
pah at this time.
What is being called the Oversight
section of the Tonopah district is on
the direct strike of the main east
west vein systems of the Tonopah
Mining, Tonopah Extension and West
End. and the proven ore zone is al
ready a mile west of what was sup
posed to be the limit in that direc-
ton in the early days. When Tom
Lockhart put up a location monument
on the sand and sagebrush west of
Mount eddie, and started to dig a
shaft, it was thought that he was
crazy-but his judgment. or intuition
made himself and others rich.
When the bold groupings in the
Oversight section are the extension
of one or more of the vein systems of
the bigger Tonopah mines as many
good mining men now believe-or be-
long to an entirely different system
time alone can tell. But it is certain
that the showing warrants the COM
plete development it is now about to
receive, with strong basis for the be-
lief that one or more good mines will
be added to the long list of Nevada
producers.

LOCAL BOYS ARE
PLEASED WITH THE
n. N. NJ. |. LIFE

Unanimous in declaring that the
New Mexico Military institute IS just
as fine as it is described in the cata-
place than claimed for by its en-
thusiastic friends, ten or more Albu-
querque boys have returned to Ros-
well during the last two days to re-
sumo their studies at the institute as
cadets after spending the holidays
with their parents here.
This is my second year at the in
stitute and | like II just fine" said
Austin Cushman, son of c. o. Cush-
man, clothing merchant. 81 spent one
term at culver and the least l can say
is that the New Mexico Military in
sttute does not suffer by comparison.
All the Albuquerque boys are strong
for N. M. M. /. and glad that we are
there"
Paul Horgan, son of f. D. Morgan,
vice president of the Coal supply COM
pany, was enthusiastic in his praise
for the institute. Paul gained some
sixteen pounds and grew few
inches in height since entering the
school last September.
Put me down as one of the en-
thusiastic supporters of the institute.
l
a hard grind of studies. but stand it
we'll because we have plenty of recre-
alton in the open air and all the good,
substantial food that we can eat"
Cadet George Stevens. son of S. ID.
Stevens, proprietor of the Sturges
hotel one of the veterans at the in
stitute, said that he had enjoyed his
visit here but was glad to get back to
his studies. Cadet stevens is conceded
to be one of the juvenile military eX
perts at the institute.
Other boys who left recently for the
institute, glad to return, were George
Smithers. son of j, II. Smithers, man
ager of the Alvarado hotel, and Rich
ard Angle, son of DR.. G. X, Angle.
That the institute is very popular
with the Albuquerque boys who have
been here spending the Christmas va
cation, is indicated by the fact that
two other local lads are to attend the
school for the term from January TO
June, They are Louis Connell son
of Walter M. Cornell of the Bond
Connell Sheep and Wool company,
and chairman of the city commission
of Albuquerque, and Joseph Wood,
son of Attorney Francis =. Wood.
Both lads are attracted to the insti-
tute because of the bunch of like
able boys already enrolled there. and
because of the excellent facilities for
study and athletics. Young Wood
has one brother, Otis. who is lieu
tenant at West Point, making special
studies, and another brother. Robert,
Il midshipman at Annapolis.
