OFFICERS ELECTED At
ANNUAL MEETING
OF Big 20

The stockholders of the Big 20'
Mining company of Mountain View dis
trict held their annual meeting last
Wednesday evening at the Lyon County
Batk and elected the following new
board of directors: Senator ]. w. Viii
son, president; J. J. Beatty, ,ice-presi-
dent: Geo. F. Willis. secretary and
treasurer; l.. III. Bartholomew and w.
l.. Lanikin, directors.
At this meeting J. ]. Beatty presented
to the stockholders two certificates OF
assay from San Francisco which greatly
stimulated those inters ted in this prop
erty, the returns being $l3S and $64 in
gold to the ton. AS result of this en-
couraging news Mr.. Beatty, L. II. Bar
tholomew and w. l.. Lamkin were de-
tailed to visit the company's ground,
thoroughly sample the entire property
and ascertain the best place to begin OPP
erations. If the result of their exaniina-
ton proves satisfactory, Which is highly
probable, operations on an extensive
scale will be commenced at an early
date, either by the company individually
or by responsible ieasers, or both, as the
judgment of these gentlemen may adj
wise.
In any event 1t is safe to say the prop
erty will be extensively developed, as it
is one of the most PROMISING properties
in the celebrated lerington district, the
surface showings Being nothing short of
phenomSnal.
Many encouraging repo. IS are received
from the Mouf&ala View district from
different companisS VITO have holdings
there, and that particular section will
be the scene of much activity ia the
next few months. The district is de-
serving of boom.

GREAT FAITH IN RAWHIDE

Attorney E. II. Evans, formerly of
this place but who recently cast his lot
with the promising new camp of Raw
hide, spent this week in Yerington, ard
of this latest addition to Nevada's S list of
fortune making camps, has the following
to say:
Il believe, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, Rawhide will prove one of Neva-
da's greatest bonanza camps. There are
seven or eight leasers taking out rock
which sparkles with gold, and almost
any piece of it would be priced as 'speci-
men ore.' You may stand on Main
street and in several different places see
them sacking the high grade right from
the grass roots that will run from
$40 to $40 to the pound
You would be surprised to see the
number of people in this camp at the
present time and the substantial frame
buildings that are erected and in the
course of construction. The population
now numbers, believe am safe in say
ing, over 1000, while each of the six or
eight stages and autos that connect the
camp with the outside world are loaded
to their utmost capacity each day with
capitalists and business men looking for
investments.
The recent financial furry, it is true,
has injured the camp to great extent
and but for this one thing am sure
Rawhide would now be camp OF from
1000 to 5000 souls. with several deals
running up into the hundreds OF thous-
ands to its credit. AS soon as money
matters become easier you will see a
boom at Rawhide that will have seldom
been equalled in Nevada"
Mr.. Evans is enjoying good practice
III Rawhide and will return the first OF
nest week. Several Yerington people,
he says, are interested i'll this new camp
and all are enthusiastic over their pros
poets.

BUCKsKIN SHOWS STRONG

f. ]. Lennard, Jr., of Buckskin was
in Yerington few hours Thanksgiving
day, and in conversation with Times
representative, said the depression in
the money market had been felt iii
Buckskin to some little extent, but the
different properties that were closed
down owing 70 .heir funds having been
tied up in outside banks, were now about
to resume again, having made satisfac-
tory settlements of their financial affairs.
The Honest Endeavor will resume
work with full complement of men on
the first of the coming month and the
Union Blue will start up about the 18th
of December. Mr.. Lcnnard is connected
with both these properties.
Richards & Grant have taken over the
famous Champagne lease on the Kennedy
Consolidated ground and are rushing
work to the full capacity of facilities.
In the drift OH the 100-foot level large
body OF high grade ore has been blocked
out and is being sacked and piled OIL the
dump ready for shipment.
Buckskin, in Mr.. Lennard's opinion,
Is one of Nevada's most substantial
camps, and the next few months will
witness great strides in mining way in
the territory tributary to that thriving
town.

ticket purchasers to enjoy your hospit-
able treatment, why not make boule-

gestions, Ed, which are called to your

Local Capitalists
Secure Bond On
Good Property

A deal of vast importance to Rawhide
was consummated this week in Yering-
ton. The bond held by Ira Wagner of
this city on the Mascot group of claims
was transferred to f. II. Whitacre and
associates. While the amount involved
was not made public it is known to rep
resent large sum.
The Mascot group consists of six
claims, being among the first locations
in the Rawhide district, located by
Messrs. Mcleod and Wadge. 1t takes
in nearly all of Mascot hill in the very
heart of the Rawlide pay belt.
Mr.. Whitacre and those associated
with him will at once inaugurate an ac-
tive and thorough campaign of develop
ment. Their advent into the Rawhide
district at this time means much for the
new camp. They have plenty of cash to
thoroughly open up the estate, which
will prove the existence of ore at depth
and the continuity of the rich vein sys-
tenn which show SO remarkably well on
the surface.
The gentlemen who have taken over
the bond are confident that the Mascot
will prove a winner. The surface show
ing is good and the location unexcelled
in that section. Rawhide is to be con-
graduated upon the gentlemen having
become identified with its development.

Vim. c. Ish, one of the best known
mining operators in the west, who is
heavily interested in the Yerington dis.
trict, spent Sunday last here on import
ant business by which much was done to
his entire satisfaction.
Mr. Ish secured an extension of time
for his payments to be made on the Gal
lagher mine and other properties here.
Shortly after his arrival he was seen
by Times representative concerning
his views on the financial situation. He
stated as his opinion that money would
loosen up before great while and that
Nevada would come out of the scrim-
mage with flying colors.

to a question concerning the effect of
the stringency upon him, but by no
means are we down and out.
Our deposits represent large sums,
yet we, i'll common with hundreds of
others, are at the mercy of the bank
situation. However. we have every con-
fdence that all will end we'll and SO far
as we are personally concerned are not
giving the matter much worry.
Those with whom we have been do
ing business in Yerington have treated
us most kindly.
II still cling to my belief that Yer
ington is to be one of the best camps in
the west. AS soon as it is possible we
will begin the development of our var
ious holdings, which we believe are
among the best in this section
Mr.. Ish and his associates have al
ready spent enormous sums in Yering-
ton and vicinity. The district is to be
complimented that they are SO con-
scientiously among its strongest admir-
ers and staunchest supporters.

Saving Waste Vegetables.

On most farms there is enough In
the way of small and unstable veg
etables that go to waste each fall to
carry a good-sized flock of poultry
through the winter IN the matter Of
that very essential part OF their ra-
ton, green food. Take the cabbages
which are too small to cut, the small
potatoes which are unstable and the
other small root crops; gather them
ell and store them away in pits out
Of doors, bringing them in to feed
during the early days OF winter at
the time when the poultry sadly miss
the green food. It is not hard to save
the cabbages for a long time in the
winter. In preparing the vegetables
for the table during the winter, save
the refuse portion for the fowls in
stead of sending it to the swine; true,
hogs thrive on this sort of stuff, but
l. will pay a larger profit If fed to
the poultry. It doesn't make mucn
difference what this is, carrot or po-
tato Feelings, cabbage leaves, apple
skins, almost anything that Is green
will do a world of good to the poul-
try.-John A. Murktn, Jr., In the

An officer. seized the assassin's re-

. General Launitz was formerly
Governor OF Tambon, where he dealt
severely with the reyolutionaires. It
is believed the assassin came from
Tambof.
Won der Launitz as project nj ro-

authority. of which he made full use.

nearly 600 persons charged with un-
Que activity in revolutionary matters

COTTON EXCHANGE UNDER FIRE
Fraud Accusation Made by R~epresen-
tatiYe Livingstone.

Washington, D. appeal was
made to the Postofice Department
for a fraud order against the New
York Cotton Exchange. The applica-
ton was made by Representative L.
F. gstone, of Atlanta, and Lar
vie Jordan, president of the SouthS-7
Cotton Growers Association. They
allege that the rules Of the New York
Cotton Exchange permit the filling Of
contracts with unspinnnable and
worthless cotton. and that on this &C
count the price in New York is 'cept
down and creates a bearish effect on
the price ot eottoni in legitimate cotton
trade in the South, aud thereby de-
prives the country of vast sums of
money it would otherwise gain from
the sale of the commodity in foreign
markets.
Mr.. Jordan was told that a Post
Office Inspector would be sent to New
York to investigate the matter COM
planned of. The department will pro-
coed slowly, with due regard to the
law.
