HALLOWEEN PARTY AT
PARADISE VALLEY

Last Thursday evening a goodly
number of the young people commemo-
rated Halloween by party at the
ranch of Mrs. James Byrnes. Parlor
games of all kinds marked the early
part of the evenings entertainment
Singing, dancing and everything else
that goes to make up a good time
made the hours speed swiftly by. A
dainty luncheon was served at mid
night, and by unique device of heart
shaped cards one found his partner.
Mrs. Byrnes and her daughters evi
denced their ability as clever hostess
es from the happy time spent by all
those present.

EXTENSIVE USE OF
CEMENT
TWO CONCRETE BUILDINGS
COMPLETED. ANOTHER BEGUN
Winnemucca Has Natural Advantages
for This Glass Of Building, with
Gravel and Sand at Our Door

Cement is being extensively used
in the building boom which the town
of Winnemucca is enjoying at the
present time. The reasons for this
are quite apparent when it is known
that the two main factors in this class
of construction work are very easily
obtainable. Gravel and sand lie in
immense quantities and near at hand.
In the hills across the Humboldt river
there is gravel pit where enough
gravel can be obtained for concrete
work to build city the size of San
Francisco. Likewise III the broad
bottoms of the river, adjacent to the
city of Winnemucca, there are many
acres piled deep of the finest quality
Of sand for concrete work. The pres
ent building boom marks an era in
Winnemucca building and from hence
forth the vast majority of construc
tion work in this town win be of con-
crete.
The concrete work on the Warren
building has been completed and car
penters are now busily engaged in
putting on the roof and fittings
With the completion of this con-
crete work, the concrete mixer has
been moved to the site of the Blume
hotel, where work is started in build
ing the walls of that proposed struc-
ture Mr.. Blume announces that not
more than one story will be completed
before the winter season, but that in
the spring time the work will be re-
sumed and the walls continued up to
the originally intended three story
height.
With the finishing of the concrete
work on the Staunton building, the
adaptability of cement blocks has
been demonstrated. For these blocks
are Of fine quality, and the building
presents an artistic appearance.
The United States America Oon-
structon company Will soon begn the
making of thousands of cement blocks,
for they already have several con
tracts for buildings, which are soon
to be erected. The company has es-
tablished an Office in Winnemucca ad-
joining the Silver State News office,
and there have on display samples of
the cement blocks with which their
construction work will be done.

The smelter situation is the most
aggravating feature at present and
threatens to seriously stiae the min
ing industry. The smelter trust is be-
lieved to be perfectly solvent, but un-
able to realize on its enormous assets
Even the gold is tied up, from the
fact that the ores are smelted with
copper, silver and lead ores. and until
the bullion is refined and the precious
metals separated from the base the
gold is not in shape to present at the
mine. With all its assets, the smelter
combine is hard up for ready cash
and finds itself unable to borrow. So
far as Goldfield is concerned, the ore
in transit has nearly all reached the
smelters and been settled for, and it
is probable that $150,000 will cover
the value of the ore for which the
smelters owe. In order to get the
gold contents in shape to command
ready money the Consolidated com
pany is endeavoring to arrange for
the use of mills, reducing the bulk of
che metallic contents to bullion.
The mines and leases of the district
arc capable of producing about ST.
100000 month, which, if it could
readily be turned into minted coin.
would go far toward relieving the
situation.
The present panicky condition ia
believed to be traeeable, to a great
extent, to warning factions in the
copper market. The Guggenheims
have invaded the field of copper and
angered the Standard Oil crowd. II
is freely predicted that when the
smoke of battle clears away the
standard Oil and Amalgamated will

LABORERS HAVE TROUBLE
GETTING CHECKS CASHED

From the Reno Gazette.
AS a result of the banks in Reno
and San Francisco refusing to pay
the time checks of the Utah Construc.
tion company, nearly all work on the
Western Pacific at Chilcoot and at
other poa,t along the line of the West.
ern Pacific in Nevada has been stop
ped and may not be resumed again
Immediately.
This as~ the statement made by J.
E. Gilnaush, who has a store at Chill
coot, and who does banking business
in that town.
Mr.. Gilnaugh arrived in Reno from
Chlcoot on the MOO about s o'clock
last night and intends to stay here
as he declares there will be nothing
doing at Chilcoot until the Utah Con4
struction company makes some othen
arrangements for paying the labor
ers
- have been accepting and pay4
ing time checks given to the laborers
at Chilcoot, - said Mr.. Gilnaugh!
"and they have always been cashed
by the banks in San Francisco and
Reno, but l had some difficulty secur-
ing payment for them last week, and
this week l came to Reno with more
than $1,000 worth of time checks in
my possession. / went to the Washoe
County bank, where / had usually
cashed these checks in Reno and pre-
sented them for payment. The bank
then notified me that the San Francis
co bank had refused to recognize the
checks and therefore the Washoe
County bank would not pay them.
f'There is now much trouble at
Chilcoot as a result OF the Utah Con-
struction company not paying its
men with money instead of time
checks, which are not recognized by
the banks, and most of the men have
quit. Once before the Utah Con-
struction company had the same
trouble with the men, but managed
to settle up. This time the trouble IS
more serious and it may pe weeks be-
fore work is resumed.
"Chilcoot is not the only place
where the Utah Construction company
is having trouble with its laborers.
l am told that the company is having
the same trouble wherever it has a
camp
Assistant Cashier Fred Stadtmuller
of the Washoe County bank stated
this afternoon that the bank did not
honor the time checks because the
bank would have to wait 80 days for
its money and that the money would
earn more interest in other ways than
it would if given to Gilnaugh for that
time. He states that the checks are
all right, but that to cash them would
be the same thing as loaning money
to Gilnaugh, and that at present the
bank is not cashing time checks of
that nature.

JUST A PIUTE KID

The Overland Limited train stopped
for few minutes at Humboldt House,
the oasis in the great central Nevada
desert.
Passengers piled from the coaches
to enjoy short breathing spell while
the train stopped. Sitting on one of
the benches in front of the station
was Piute girl, holding her baby,
wrapped tightly in it's coverings =.
buckskin. And over it's face fell a
red shawl. The women from the train
spying the Indian woman, stopped and
asked to see the babe. Much coaxing
was necessary before the woman
would uncover her child s face. FL
nally she did so, and there was a
chorus of 'ahs!" and "ohs!o from
the women. "Oh, the little dearD
exclaimed one woman, and another
replied "Isn't it the cutest thing. -
The Indian kid, with puckered face
and pouting lips, was unmoved by the
compliments. Finally several men at
the station-men whose corduroy
breeches and high-laced boots pro-
claimed them sons of the desert
came up, attracted by the eager, at
tentive attitude of the women from
the train. Seeing that only a plain
Indian kid was causing all the excite
ment, they turned with looks and ex-
pressions of disgust. just then the
train bell rang, and as the dark
skinned woman let fall the red shawl
covering, again hiding the infant s
face, her pale-faced sisters focked
back to the train.
The u. S. A. Construction com
pany, the company recently incorpo-
rated by Postmaster Anderson and
associates. lost no time in getting
down to business, having already re-
ceived carload OIL cement. and a lot
of maple flooring.
