GOLDEN EAGLE NINE
Prospects of that Property
Changing Hands Soon

Peter Henry, mining man from the
Central mining district, reports that
the district Is looking good and he has
great faith in it's future.
There is at present 100000 worth of
ore on the dump Of the Golden Eagle.
and 100000 more in sight. We are
now engaged in putting in a stope. 1t
is slow work, but bound to produce the
best results. A lack of money is the
cause of the present owners releasing
the property to the gentlemen from
Golconda who were looking the work
over last week. as mentioned In the
Silver State Mr. Henry Is confident
the transfer will be made, and is also
positive that it will be a dividend pro-
ducer within a short time. Money is
all that Is needed. and Stallman and
Farren have the necessary wherewith-
all to do the work. and will certainly
make this mine one OF the most pro-
ductive in the state. A mill is needed
and will be erected as soon as poss:-
ble."
The mine mentioned has been for a
long time considered a very valuable
property, and now that money will be
put into the proposition 1t will prove
great unit in the industries of this
pa;t of the state and should help to ad-
vertise our possibilities to the world.

A Pleasant Wedding

The wedding of George Gingery to
Miss Sophia Coleman Rutherford took
place last night at the residence OF the
brides parents on Bridge st eet. Judge
S. j. Bonnifield performed the cere-
mony in the presence of numerous
friends and relatives. Mrs. Gingery Is
the daughter of Mrs. G. w. Rutherford
and is we'll known throughout the
state. She was born at Unionvile. Ne
vada, but has spent most Of her life
In Winnemucca among the friends she
has the happy faculty Of making and
retaining. The groom holds RESPONSE
BILE position with the railroad COM
ana, but came west a number of years
ago and entered the employ of the rail-
road company at this place. He is a
capable and trusted employe. of ex-
emplaYy habits and strong regard for
duty. At about s o'clock last night
Judge Bonnifield pronounced the words
that made the happy two, one, who
henceforth will travel over the roads
of life in a chariot of bliss. if the wish
es of friends can bring about that re-
suit.
That the happy couple have hosts of
I ends could MT be doubted by any
person living within a radius of two
miles from the family residence. After
the ceremony was concluded and word
was passed outside that the important
step had been taken, a terrible din
arose from the throats, tin cans. musi-
cal instruments and in fact anything
from which sound could be produced
by the crowd OF friends of both con-
tracing parties assembled to do honor
to their beloved friends and to assist
in starting them upon the road to hap
piness and prosperity. After making
all the noise possible the ladies, girls,
men and boys comprising the crowd
started down the street. headed ty a
brass band playing music more siren
uous than tuneful. Fireworks played
conspicuous part in the celebration
and added to the demonst. .ations of
friendship. Happiness through life Is
the wish of friends and the Silver State
join them.
