RUSHING TO GREENwATER
Population of New Copper Camp In
InyO County Is 1000


To depict the rush of men and
money into the new copper district at
Greenwater would be to describe
stampede. Since the sudden realiZa-
tion of the tremendous strike on this
bleak crest of the Funeral Range.
trumpeted to the world less than
fortnight ago, the trails across Death
Valley and the Amargosa Desert have
day by day become almost congested.
Automobiles, stages. burros. mules.
wagons and bronzed men plodding
afoot haze defined the winding high
ways in thick clouds from dawn to
twilight. Kings OF the mining world
have lived on bread and water and
slept on barren lodges ten miles to
the east and west of Greenwater for
the sake of missing nothing their
money could buy. The plutocrats Gre
ated by the dozen in Goldfield's great
boom have grabbed their profits and
raced to the latest copper bonanza to
double their wealth. From every
camp throughout Nevada Greenwater
has drawn brains, Drawn and gold
a magnet draws a needle. And the end
is not yet.
The Greenwater of a month ago was
a camp Of a dozen tents. Today 1t is
thriving town. New buildings are GO
ing up as fast as lumber can be deliv-
cred. A census taken on October 20
would have totaled the population of
GreenWater at 20. Yesterday the total
reached 1000 Not less than hundred
permanent residents pour in every
twenty-four hours. The 500 expert
enced miners now on the ground
went to work on the Clark or Schwab
properties an hour after their arrival
The demand for labor far exceeds the
present supply. Far down all the
trails leading to the camp pickets are
posted by the mine superintendents
for first call on the services of in
coming workers.-Tonopah Miner.

amples of carelessness and stupfdlty

tho Registrar of Voters. The entire
vote, numbering 33l in the SeVenIn
Precinct of the Thirty-third Assembly

lon F. Bailey. and Clerks w. Read and
John NJ Griffin, contain no ngures
whatever Every space is blank The

sealed return. The courts alone have
power to fill in the blanks
Yesterday afternoon the Commission
ers found that Carroll Cook was ac-
credited with 199 votes on the official
sheet and only SO on the semi-official
sheet of the Seventh Precinct of the
Thfrty-fifth Assembly District It was
obvious at q glance that the fgures
80 were correct. AS the total vote In
the precinct was only S14. allowing
Cook 19s, the vote cast for Cook and
his competitors footed up 392 Under
the ruling established by the board
Cook must be credited with the num-
Der of votes certified to in the sealed
returns. The Commissioners hold that
there is no remedy outside of the
courts. The election officers of the
precinct have been summoned to ap-
pear before the Board of Commission
ers.
The official count shows that John
McKeon ID and I. L.) was elected to
the Assembly in the Thirty-fourth Dis
trict by a majority of 80 over Eugene
Berri (R and u L.. The semi official
returns gave McKeon only twenty
eight votes in a precinct, when he re-
ceived, according to the sealed re-
turns, sixty eight votes. Before this
error was revealed Berri had ma
jority of eight votes.
In the Thirteenth Precinct OF the
Thirty-fourth District the machine OF
the clerks counted se7 votes for E. F.
Colgan for Controller, but the total

fifth District Judge Graham was cred
tied with 245 votes in three places and
with only 1s9 in the fourth The board
gave him the highest number-245.

Little Biographies
of the Poets.
A SKETCH OF THE BOYHOOD OF
JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

John Greenleaf whittier, the great
American poet. was born December I,
1907, In the Valley of the Merrimac. few
miles from Hayerhill. Essex county, Mas
sachusetts.
The little town had been settled IN the
year 1910 by II men from Newbury and
Ipswich The country surrounding the
old Whittier home Is bleak, and reminds
one of some Of the scenes In Scotland
near the old haunts of Robert Burns.
But the Immediate vicinity OF the old
Whittier homestead is. far from forbid
ding, for the house nestles In a secluded
spot between the green-clad hills that cut
off all view of nelghboring habitation,
thus promising that sweet security from
the outside world so dear to the heart OF
the dreamer and poet. Between the house
and the road runs q little brook whose
music played many n lively tune In the
Imagination of the poetic boy who loved
it as one of the family.

indeed, the home was particularly
happy one.
AS boy Whittier was happy. healthy

a task was assigned him. and playing
with all his heart when time for recrea-
ton was his. He began going to tie dis
trict school when seven years of age,
but the advantages of education were
meayer for the school term consisted of
only three months during the winter OF
each year.
There was little chance of reading In
the country homes of those times, the
family library usually consisting of
mere handful of volumes and the Bible,
so we do not wonder at the following
quotst tons from Whitfier's own pen:
when l was II years old my first
schoolmaster, Joshua Coffin, brought with
him TO our house Il volume OF Burns
poems, from which he read. greatly to
my delight. l begged him to leave the
book with me, and | set myself at once
to the task OF mastering the glossary of
the Scottish dialect at Its close. This
was about the first poetry had ever
read, with the exception of the Bible tof
which l had been a close studenu, and

gan to make rhymes myself. and to i'm
