geIes-khartum Temple of
Winnipeg Represented

Fully 300 strong Southern Nevada
Shriners will come riding into Los An
geles the first Of May upon their burros.
Inasmuch as the burro is typical of the
mining country, they have been substi-
tuted for camels
AS advance guard to the burro train
Col. G. G.. Noble, veteran newspaper
man and mining expert Of Goldfield,
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and
secured quarters at the Nadeau.
Col. Noble consulted with Potentate
Motley Flint in regard to details and at
once went to work planning arrange
ments for the Nevada temples.
Col. Noble is not only an enthusiastic
Shriner, but is also a strong booster
for Southern Nevada and Goldfield.
He is one of the owners of the Even
ing Chronicle of Goldheld and knows
the mining district thoroughly. Col.
Noble expects. to uTply all possible in
formation about the Nevada mining
camps to the visiting Shriners, and in
that capacity alone believes his time
will be well spent in Los Angeles.
II expect 300 or more f,outhern Nevada
Shriners will come here" said the col
onel. I'VE will have a special train
with dining cars and all necessary solid
and liquid refreshments. 1 shall re-
main here as a sort of advance agent,
securing rooms and making other ar
rangements for the accommodation of
the Nevada contingent"
GoIdfleId Shriner Center
Col Noble says there are about 1000
Shriners around Goldheld. They come
from all over the country and temples
OF nd h
Wales are represented among the men
who have located in and around Gold
field. AS special souvenirs the Nevad-
ans will distribute about 10000 booklets
descriptive of the mining districts.
A novel badge will be worn with the
patient old burro placed on a pedestal
of fame on a red ribbon. There will be
a tiny pendant from the ribbon, of a
miniature gold pan with few nuggets
clinging to it.
The choice of the burro over the
camel was advisedly and the tribute to
the faithful little burro will be appre-
ciated by all familiar with the mining
region.
Goldfield, Tonopah, Manhattan, Beat
ty and Rhyolite will be represented. The
special train will start May 8 and it's
arrival will be made known in true Ne
vada style.

in Los Angeles Lay 5. 1t is expected
that 400 Shriners will board the Denver
special.
Khartoum temple of Winnipeg, Mani
toba, will send a delegation of mobiles to
the imperial council.
Winnipeg is one Of the most progress
ave cities of Canada, and it's growth
has been remarkable. Many Canadians
winter in Los Angeles, and through the
visit Of the Winnipeg Shriners it is ex-
pected the report Of Los Angeles ad-
vantages will go back to the frozen
north country. William G. Bell is the
potentate OF Khartoum temple and he
will be on hand when the zem zem
water begins to flow.

hotel accommodations will be satisfac-
torily settled.

tel committee, said yesterday that the
work of securing options on rooms was
progressing rapidly. For a time it is
said that the landlords were loath to
make reservations so far in advance.
