HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
NEVADA MINING MEN
HAVE A HIGH OLD TIME
BY THE EAvEsDRCPPER

A party of mining men from Goldfield,
New, out for the merriest, maddest
time men ever had, arrived at the Alex
andria after a trip that has been one
continuous round of exciting Incidents
They are touring the state in auto
mobiles with no thought in the world
but to have a good time and spend a
little of the surplus gold they have been
acquiring.
The party travelled from San Fran
cisco to Gaviota by automobile, but at
that point they found the bridge had
been washed away and they chartered
q special train to take them into Santa
Barbara, about thirty miles away.
From Santa Barbara they made the
trip by rail to Los Angeles and their
machines are to be shipped here.
In the party are w. E. Hughey, L. A.
Savage, ]. G. Thompson, Dr. o. c. Dun
ham, w. E. Hughey, Mrs. Thompson.
Miss Georgia Savage and Miss Samona
Aquirie.
"We have had a great trip" said Mr..
Hughey last night in the corridor Of
the Alexandria. I'VE left San Fran
cisco in the pouring rain and when we
went up San Juan hill, which is the
steepest climb between here and San
Francisco in a '07 Thompson car with
nine in it, people came out in carriage,
as they said, to watch us get stuck
They said we could not make it, but we
went over the hill without stop"
In Paso Robles, where the party
stopped for five days, they reused the
town as it has not been reused since
the earthquake. In that place Mr..
Hughey bought out the opera house one
night for the pleasure of playing joke
on two members of the party.
DR.. Durham and Mr.. Savage invited
two young women to go with them to
the theater, and when Mr.. Hughey
heard of it he bought all the reserved
seats in the house. The two young men
were not content to be outwitted and
tried to break up the corner by forging
Mr.. Hughey's name to an order for four
seats. They further fortified this move
by breaking open the strong box in
which the would-be ticket king had all
his seat checks, and when Mr.. Hughey
wanted to go to the theater he was
without a seat He declared all the
checks invalid and had new ones issued,
but a compromise was finally effected
and 1t is said the box office attendant is
just recovering from an attack of
nerves brought on in trying to fix
things
Mr. Hughey is one of the wealthy
men of Goldfield and he is. connected
with the Goldfeld Consolidated. Mr.
Savage is interested in the Wonder dis
trict, and other members of the party
are also extensive operators.
Prominent Shriner Arrives
G. C. Knispel, potentate of Osman
temple, st. Paul, Mimi, who is the ad-
vance guard for the delegates from that
place to the Shriners' convention in
May, is at the Alexandria.
Yesterday Mr.. Knispel engaged apart
ments at the Alexandria for his party
and he says they are coming with fly
ing colors to make a strong bid to hold
the next shrine in st. Paul.
I'VE are looking forward to this
meeting in Los Angeles more than any
other ever held" said Mr.. Knispei.
There will be many more delegates than
originally intended coming last year,
and l cannot tell how glad l am that
Los Angeles was the city chosen. If
there is a garden spot on earth this GER
tainly is it. l had not seen the sun for
three weeks until 1 arrived here, and
l never was so glad to see anything. 1t
Is 30 below back where l came from.
and there is nothing / would like better
than the chance to live six months our
of every year in Los Angeles"
Mr.. Knispel is cigar manufacturer
of st. Paul.
