Winnemucca is now having a sub.
stantial business boom, which evil
dences the general prosperity of the
town, and speaks of the confidence
of all concerned in the future welfare
of this town.
As enumerated above, there are n
dozen structures, either completed or
in course of construction in Winnie
mucea at the present time. More
buildings are contemplated and by
the first of the year there will be
plenty of evidence of the fact that
the town of Winnemucea is reaching
ont for the name and title of the
''Queen City of Eastern Nevada
The buildings being constructed are
for the most part substantial and at
tractive architecturalIy. The new
Episcopal church, just now receiving
the finishing touches in interior deco
rations, is very pretty structure.
Situated just across the street from
the schoolhouse, il materially adds to
the appearance of this section of
the town.
The residence completed by J. a.
Robinson, the pioneer citizen and bus
mess man of Winnemucca, is a very
attractively designed brick cottage.
This building was erectea for renting
purposes, and before the construction
had begun, the contract for leasing
was closed for a lengthy period.
The Nixon theater, it was some time
ago announced, would be completed
by the first of January, but it is not
probable that the building win be
ready for occupancy by that time.
Some delay is now being caused by
the inability to secure masons and
brick layers.

Ia. s.. . ka hnir ~

a. extending around the rear and

Frank Garties of the Silver State
saloon will have completely new
building when he has finished the i'm
provements he has under way. Orig
nally il was the intention of Mr.. Gar
ties to remodel only thu front of the
building, but he has now removed
three walls of the structure and is re-
placing them, so that the building will
be practically 4 new one.
The residence being built by J. A.
Nelson is going ahead rapidly. This
structure will be built of concrete
block, as will also tlat being built
Just across the street by =. J. An0ei-
son.
The county's new buildings are net
yet in course of construction. The
specifications for the county hospital
have been accepted, and the commits
sioncrs are now advertising fc~ bids
for its construction.
