MINING OPERATIONS AT
HOT SPRINGS CLOSE
The mining operations of the Hot
Springs district for the year 1 !* 1S have
been brought to a close, all the oper
ators of that district closing down re
cently, with the exception of Bd Ness,
who is operating on American creek,
sluicing up his dump.
The gold output for this camp was
the smallest in the history of the
camp, about $170,000 being taken from
the ground. Scarcity of labor, an tin
usually dry summer and the high cost
of supplies, all contributed to the re
duction.

MANY SERBS
VOLUNTEERED
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 26. Serbia,
with a well equipped army of 4,000.000
men. expects soon to face Austria and
Oermanv on her line she occupied
in August. 1014. known as the "Sava
Danube line." declared Captain S. .Mil
utinovich. head of a Serbian recruit
ing mission to tin* Cnited States.
Since Serbia became active in re
cruiting her nationals in this country
over 60,000 have left these shores for
tin* Macedonian campaign, the officer
said, adding that fifteen thousand of
these, five hundred of them from Cal
ifornia. participated in the sharp de
risive campaigns in the territory be
hind the Vrania-Nish line, which re
sulted in tile Bulgarian debacle and
the clearing of Albania of Austrian
t roops.
Thousands of Serbian soldiers who
lied to the mountains of the country
when tin* Austro Berman flood poured
over their land, rejoined their fellows
and again took up arms in their coun
try's defense when that flood was
swept back by the Serbo French ad
vance. These half-exiled men lived
primitively in tin* mountain fastnesses,
too few to check tin* invaders, but
hoping and praying for tin* time when
they might again join the army of
their country. They were frenzied
with joy. Captain Milutinovich said,
when they saw tin* armies of Serbia
sweeping through their land.
Since* Bulgaria's plea for peace
Mac edonian reservists forced to servi
in the Bulgarian army find themselves
free to east in their lot with Serbia
and the Jugoslav detachments from
liberated portions of the Adriatic
coast. Captain Milutinovich said. All i
of these men are trained to tin* min I
Utc and arc* adding heavily to tin*
weight of the Slav forces, in his
opinion
Campaign Started
to Kill Insect Pests
by Clearing Weeds
SAN Fit ANCISCO. Oct. 2G. ”Sto]
the heavy drain on food producLioi
due to insect pests preying upon vege
tallies and produce needed provende
for domestic animals at the sarin
time” is the theme of an official ap
peal from the western states head
quarters of the i’nited States sehoo
garden army here today. Insects proli
ably consume lf» per cent of the conn
try's crops, says the appeal, urgiiq
that cities destroy them by eloarinj
weeds and other useless vegetatioi
from vacant ground
"The vacant area problem may wel
concern a city." says the appeal. "Mil
lions of destructive pests hide ov<
winter in weeds, beneath old board
and sticks and under refuse of al
kinds. They come forth in tin* sprinj
a ravenous horde, taking foodstuff:
tin* nation can ill afford to spare."
The bulletin urges that vacant lot:
bo plowed by cities in which they an
and then be sowed to grain. "Tin
j crops will mature with little cultiva I
j tlon and no irrigation," It says. "The j
j labor question Ih nil; one man in aj
(lav could plow many lots.”
