MAY SAVE HALF OF
CYANIDE NOW USED

ToN0PAH. - Experiments that
have been conducted at the Tonopah
Extension mill by Arthur L. Halver-
son, a chemist and metallurgist
from Perth Ambroy, N. j., are said
to have resulted in evolving a pro-
cess whereby SO per cent of cyanide
in pregnant solution formerly lost
in precipitation is recovered. The
process was examined lately by a
representative of the United States
Smelling Co. and may be introduced
in that company's 5000 ton mill
at Pachuca. Mexico.
The mine operators Of Tonopah
acting in conjunction last year
bought 100000 pounds Of cyanide
to meet their requirements for
1922. This was said to be IS per
cent Of all the cyanide used in the
United States in metallurgical work.
The saving of one-half this con-
sumption would amount to approx
mately $250,000.

MINING OF EARTH
VERY PROMISING
Diatomaeeous Earth to Furnish New
Source Of Revenue from Mining
Activity in Nevada, There
Being Many Large Beds

The mining of diatomaceous earth
upon commercial basis is crafty
ing news to Nevada people, for
there are many large beds of this
earth throughout the state. Few
people realize the part that diato-
maceous earth plays in their every
day life. In fact, many have never
heard Of it. Yet your sugar was
filtered through it, as also your
syrups, fruit jucies, vinegar, and oil
of all kinds. Much Of your baking

to equal it. Insulation depends

GOVERNMENT MEN FIND 81 900
NEW CROPS FOR AMERICA

AVOCADO, cnayOCe, OdSneen, peJiDaycs
and telfaeria are words that mean
nothing to most Of the people in
the United States. They are, how
ever, worth knowing about and may
become familiar ones in the market
place. They are new fruits and
vegetables that have been introduced
into the United States by a group
of agricultural explorers employed
by the government to search the
world over for new farm and
garden products for America.
Among other advantages possessed
by the United States is the remark
able one that somewhere within
its borders are conditions of climate
and soil in which any plant which
grows anywhere in one world may
be grown. This presents unlimited
possibilities, which the government
has recognized in sending out ex-
plorers all over the world. from
South America and Asia to dark
es. Africa. In the last 25 years
they have introduced into the United
States more than $1,000 new grains,
fruits, forage crops. vegetables, and
other plants.
Among the most valuable have
been durum wheat from Russia
navel oranges from Brazil, rice from
Japan, sorghum from the Sudan,
and cotton from Egypt. These and
others have added much wealth to
the agricultural resources, and in
some cases have provided a cror
for land which could not other
wise be used.

EIGHT THOUSAND
MARKS TO DOLLAR

Marriage customs Of Germany, as
they existed before the war are
threatened with extinction, accord
ing to letter received by w. w.
Manning, Southern Pacific agent in
Elko, from Mathilde Keuser, a
sixteen-year old German girl. Man
ming, while in the army of occupa-
ton, was billeted at the girls home,
and has kept up correspondence
with the family.
The girl, in her letter, says that
it is impossible at present for young
women to acquire husbands, as the
parents Of the girls cannot afford
to dowry. She said that furniture
prices are exorbitant, a bed room
set costing an even million marks
and a dresser costing from eight
to ten thousand marks.
She quoted other prices that are
interesting.
For instance, a loaf of bread
costs 500 marks, a pound of meat
400 marks, butter, $50 marks, su.
gar, a pound, $50 marks, stockings
1900 marks, a dress, $4,000 marks
and shoes, 10000 marks.
The Keuser family lives near Cob
lenz. Mathilde says that at the
time her letter was written (Dec
15) that an American dollar wal
worth 5000 marks.
She said in her missive that sis
ter recently married, had beer
given household furniture by hel
father and that he would have t.

AN OPEN SEASON

The cowardly murder of Prohi-
bition Officer Carter, which occur
red near Palisade last week by a
prominent rancher who was engaged
in the illicit distilling Of moonshine,
draws attention to the fact that
1875 prohibition officers have been
killed and $500 wounded since the
federal government declared war on
rum-runners and distillers, while the
fatality among the bootleggers has
amounted to less than SO. This
would seem to indicate that the
federal officers have been to lenient
with the bootleggers, or that the
men engaged in the bootlegging
business are a hardened lot, who
prefer to kill an officer with the hope
Of making their escape rather than
to plead guilty in court and pay
small fine for their offense against
the law. The effect of this whole
sale assassination of federal officials
has aroused the administration to
more drastic action in suppressine
the illicit traffic in moonshine. II
is probable that the prohibition
forces will be greately increased and
it is also probable that federal
judges will resort to heavier SEN
fences in all cases Of conviction
which come before them.-Ely Re-

CAN you DEFINE TIT

The Tribune still insists that the
bootlegger who fred the shot that
killed Atha Carter was as much an
enemy of this country as the Hun
who shot Maury Baer in France.
And that Hun was a soldier in
the uniform of an enemy country;
the bootlegger was an enemy in
the ranks Of our own citizenship,
and therefore has the status Of both
traitor and murderer. Will some
body please define the distinction,
in morals and patriotism, between
those who gave "aid and encourage
ment" to the enemy in time of war
and those who give "aid and en-
enlargement" to those who shot
Atha Carter and Richard Nash?

difference and define it.-Goldfeld

Nevada, like her sister states,
went through the real period of
readjustments in 1922, and it speaks
well for the stability of her people
and her industries that she passed
through with only a handful of
business failures. Every report of
the federal reserve banking system
showed that this state, in the sound
ness of her industries and institu-
tions, led all other states in the
twelfth federal reserve system, a
position that she has occupied con-
tinuously for the past twenty-four
months, and which she still holds.
