NEW MODEL CHEVROLETS
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

New model Chevrolet touring
cars and runabouts have been re-
ceived by C. E. Haviland, local sales
agent, and judging from the at
tractive appearances of the cars, as
well as their mechanical perform
ance and moderate price, Mr.. Havi-
land should experience no difficulty
in placing number of this type of
car in his territory. The Chevrolet
roadster is car of particular
beauty in its class and is a revela-
ton in what may be expected in
lower priced cars this year.

RICH ORE FOUND IN BLACK
CAPS EAST OF CODLFIELD

Last week there was a real gold
rush out of Goldfield to the vicinity
of Black Cap mountain, six to seven
miles east. The find was made by
Thomas Keane, discoyerer of the
keane Wonder mine in Death val
ley, who has been Prospecting for
more than a year.
Goldfield men who returned from
the strike said Keane had sunk
about 10 feet and the bottom of the
shaft was in material giving fair
gold paintings and estimated by
them to assay SO to SIS for a
width of four feet.
Keane is working to the left of
the Antelope road, in Nye county.
There is a great deal of patened
ground in this section and practi-

CORDEz CON. To
START 100 TON
MILL on JUNE |

The Cordez Consolidated Mines
Company at the old camp of Cor
DEE, announce that on June |, their
new 100-ton mill will commence
operations, thus reviving another
property and camp long dormant.
The history of the Cordez is
practically the same as many of
the camp of the state, countless
thousands of dollars being taken
from the ground at that place in
high grade ore, at a time when it
was impossible TO handle anything
under $40 a ton. This camp was
discovered some fifty years ago,
and was worked more or less until
about seventeen years ago. when
the price of silver dropped to a
point which would not allow
profit on the lower grade workings.
However work is progressing at
the present time, on the new mill
which will open up great possibili-
ties in that district. Mining engi-
neers who have visited the place
recently have estimated that there
is enough ore on the dumps, of the
low grade variety, to keep the mill
going for three years, without dig
ging out ton from the shafts of
the mine.
The mill which is being con-
structed is of the notation cyanide
type, and is designed in such
manner that low grade ore can be
handled at neat profit. The mill
is being erected by the Cordcz
Cons )l.Gatcd Mines Company. wno
also owns the mine, and handles
the gold, silver and lead Ores

SECOND ATTEMPT
WAS BAD FAILURE

1t was full eight years that the
Garfield Smelling Company laid for
James Mccoy before it finally
sprang trap to land him for what
appears to be his second and this
time futile attempt to salt" the
assay samples of a two-carload ship
ment of ore by which Sailing" he
would have been enriched by some
$4,000, more or less, if successful,
says the White Pine News. The
other time he was not trapped and
according to information long held
under cover he got away with it
secured $4,000 for few carloads
of country rock taken out of a
shaft of a good mine in Cherry
Creek. The name of the mine will
be withheld. 1t is known to every
body at Cherry Creek and many
others, but to publish it would give
the camp and the district wholly
undeserved black eye.

THE BOIL WEEVIL WAR

England is interested in cotton hardly less than
America because Of the Importance Of the cotton spin
ming industry over there Lately that interest has IN
creased from seeing the cotton films made by our De-
partn1ent of Agriculture. In Manchester and Liver
pool the pictures drew great crowds On occasion
they almost put the Manchester cotton exchange out of
business by drawing away 1900 members during the
trading hours -
The British observers especially interested in
the boil weev problem and they hope for the eradica
tion of this pest almost fervently as Americans
M ost of the press comment American
methods of cotton production complimentary. One
newspaper says, however:
4 'What seems remarkable is that the American
government has not yet learned its own lesson 1t was
quite obvious 1from the ms) that field treated with
calcium arsenate would yield immensely greater
weight of cotton than not treated At the same
time every nducement seemed to be offered for the
boil weev to fly away to the nearest untreated planta
tion and produce its species for the next season.
Surely it should not be difficult for the govern
ent to take entire control and compel if necessary at
the expense of the state treatment not only of the
cotton plantations but also all adjoining vegetation
which may harbor the insects"
method similar to the suggested has been
used against the cattle tick many states, for several
wears with excellent results. 1t does seem strange
when you think of it, that such destructive enemy
the boil weey which costs this country hundreds of
millions year, is not attacked by the power of the
government as foreign, human enemy would be, es-
pecally when the means of conquest are we'll known

"I'm getting them for Uncle Wig

"Oh. of course he won IT," agreed
Aunt Lettie.
By this time Billie had pulled his
stills out from under pile of other
playthings and was skipping off
down the path with the long pieces
of wood over his shoulder.
I suppose you all know what
stills are, so / don t need to tell
you. 1 might mention chat they
are long sticks of wood, with little
shelves where you can put your

Billie hurried over to the hollow
stump bungalow before going to
school.

HOW MONEY rs MADE

When iron is melted there is blown from the
furnace fine sand-like substance known furnace
dust In the past it has been unusually regarded as
worthless waste. ~.s ~
For three years the Ford furnaces at River Rouge,
Mich have been saving that dust until there is small
mountain of it, containing $4,000 tons Now the COM
panN has started to work reclaimng It. A modern
sintering plant" feeds it into big hot pan along with
iron borngs from the various Ford factories, and will
get out of that pile Of dust enough iron for 100000
cylinder castings
Here may be seen how money is made in modern
industry. 1t is largely in matters of efficiency
thought of in the old days only rendered possible
of late by inventions and processes Such methods
explain how Henry Ford able to undersel his rivals
and accumulate the biggest fortune in the world.
Meat packers fortunes made in much the same
way, by standardizing machinery and processes and
avoiding waste The successful manufacturer today,
more than ever before earns his profits because he
makes them by more efficient production instead OF
high prices and shows other manufacturers how to do
it.
Consumers, however, are strangely slow to apply
such lessons to their profit If all consumed as
thrftiy the best producers produce there would be
little want.

A RADIO LANGUAGE

The recent exchange of radio broadcasting be-
tween America and Europe has called attention, more
than anything else did, to the need OF an nterna
tiona language. The experiments so far have been
confined nany to the United States and England and
these countries get along well enough with their
own language But obviously the time is rapidly
ing when amateur talk and nterchanges of broadcast
ing programs among nations of many tongues will be
a common thing.
That will create more clamorous demand for
common speech than has been created by the
quirements of diplomacy and travel. Every hour of
every day people speaking English, Spanish French,
German Russian, Polish, Italian, Greek and other
languages will want to speak to each other for busi
ness social or scientific purposes in connection,
with the broadcastng of entertainment programs.
1t was found necessary, when wireless telegraphy
taken up generally, tc adopt international code
of dots and dashes for that purpose instead of the
Morse code, used chiefly in America. 1t will seem
more necessary to adopt international language
code.
What shall it be? A sort of occidental "pidgin
English might be worked out to the purpose.
