Peculiar Christmas Rite

In the Pacific islands some of the

offer up sacrifices, but in whose honor
they have not the faintest idea. 1t

sionary teaching, as these natives are
still heathen

SMELTER IN PROSPECT
FOR TOWN OF YERINCTON


J. H. Thompson. representing the Me-
vada Smelling Company. has been In
Yerington for several days projecting a
plan to erect smelling plant in that
vicinity, provided he can get the assur-
ance of the mine and prospect owners
to furnish the concern with ore.
Mr.. Thompson is asking owners of
copper prospects to begin work ON their
claims and agree to furnish ore extract
ed to his company for period of two
years. He agrees to work the ore for
$40 per ton and pay the New York mar
ket value of copper on all ores in cash
after sampling same.
Mr.. Thompsons company is now ne
gotiating for the purchase of the old
Boston-Nevada smelter across the river
from Yerington. which would be the
base for a larger and better equipped
plant.
He states that if the mine owners
about Yerington will not agree to l.r-
nish his company with ore that tho
plant will be taken out of that valley
and placed at point on the railroad
near Sodaville.

We found in many sections visited the

Surveyors for Western Pacific
Begin Work at Eugene-May
Connect With n. C. O.

A dispatch from Portland, Oregon.
says Surveyors headed by Engineer
Rankin of San Francisco have arrived
1T Eugene to begin work for the West
ern Pacific. From Eugene surveys have
already been made for an independent
line to Portland.
The present corps of surveyors will
map out a route by way of the Diamond
Peak pass, emerging at Crescent ,ake
from which point free access Ia had to
the Klamath and Lake county field.
Later the line may be changed so as to
strike for Summit. or Diamond lake
and thence by way of Pengra pass.
AS Gould purchased the Nevada-Cali-
fornia-Oregon road recently, which ex-
tends northwest from Keno to Madeline.
Cal, and is projected to Lakeview, II
is surmised that the surveying party is
locating a route through the mountains
southwark from there to Lakeview, so
as to connect with that road, which will
later join the main line of the w estern
Pacific from Salt Lake to San Francisco.

some of it's sister States that have been

gone with everything in sight. 1t is
now nearly time for the scar and yellow

right, all right, and is today If the peo-
pie of the earth knew what a resource
