II is a pleasure to state that the
Gypsum Mining and Milling company,
operating to the south of Las Vegas,
has determined TO erect it's milling
plant at Las Vegas instead of at San
Pedro. California. II will be of 80
tons capacity.
This announcement is made upon
the authority of the president and the
general manager.
The company is opening up one OF
the greatest OF chemically pure gyp-
sum and alabaster deposits In the
world some eight miles southeast of
Las Vegas. Within the past week 1t
has been increasing it's force of work
ers to uncover and open this vast de-
posit of sulphate of lime. of a pure
white color.
II is of much import that these rep
resentatives have determined not only
to mine their ores. but also to manu-
faeture the marketable product at Las
Vegas. In this sphere they will aid
materially In the upbuilding OF this
valley and deserve every possible aid
and assistance that the public can be-
stow in facilitating this great enter
prise. The mine and mill when in full
operation will mean at least $50 wage
workers at good wage. This life blood
injected into the channels of trade
means much for the business futuri-
ty of southern Nevada.
The same parties will, in the near
future, commence a 300-foot shaft on
their gold property about one-fourth
of mile distant from the gypsum
mine. The quartz lead shows values
In gold of from sic to $40 per ton and
is traceable for more than 10000 feet.
1t Is worthy to say that the parties
managing these properties desire no
personal notoriety in connection with
their enterprise, for. as they say, We
have no stock for sale. do not seek any
promotion, for we know what we have,
and have ample means to develop our
product for the markets and are not
seeking general investment. But, be-
ing interested in the development of
the general prosperity OF the COM
nHnity and enrichment of the Vegas
valley. we make the announcement We
do about concentrating our manufac-
turing and milling plants at Las
Vegas"

Therefore. be 1t resolved, that we

AN APPROPRIATE SELECTION.

ty Constable or vegas, GOOD Np-
pointment.
The appointment Of Sam S. Gay as
deputy constable for the saloon dis
trict is wise and judicious selection.
The citizens who bestowed this au-
thority upon this reputable and ex-
perienced citizen deserve the credit
that is usually bestowed upon fore
sight and wisdom.
Sam Gay is one of the best-known
individuals Of Las Vegas. His expert.
ence. temperament and gentlemanly
levelheaded qualities peculiarly ut
him for this position. Even tempered
aud just. he wifi not use the power
and authority vested in him by the
law to punish or pursue any individ-
ual against whom he may fancy a
grievance.
His is good selection and we
doubly compliment the partieipators
In the selection for their discernment.
Even some say Sam has all the quail
ties that would make the leading peace
officer in Lincoln county.
