Gift Delights Mr. Requa
One act Of the committee having the
celebration in charge pleased Mr.
Requa as much or more than the many
glowing tributes paid to his success by
the speakers. The copper spike, the
first piece Of Ely copper ever to be
shapened for human use, was drawn
from the tie into which it had been
driven by Mr. Keqaa, and eneased in
block Of polished Nevada mahogany.
AS Mr. Requa had withdrawn because
of the receipt Of a message announcing
the death Of his father-in-law, Mr.
Allen c. Bragg was asked to represent
Mr.. Reoua when the presentation was
made by Mr.. w. n. McGil.

but syrnbolizing Sc much of human eff
fort and human achievement.
Mr.. Bragg, in accepting the copper

"Mr. McGill. Mr. Chairman. Ladies'

county,, and the copper from which The
spike was fashioned was taken from
White Pines mines the mahogany was
shaped and polished by one Of White
Pines pioneer citizens; the copper was
mined by White Pine labor and the
spike made by Mr. Perkins in Robinson
canyon. While perhaps somewhat
crude, they represent much in White
Pines wonderful possibilities.

and the copper spike occupy niche in
the general office Of the Nevada North
