large number Of contestants from which
they had to pick and the wide variety and
scope of the characters represented, the
Judging was matter of considerable difii-
Guilty. Had there been second choices for
the best dressed lady characters they
would probably have selected Miss Eva
Tyler, as Swastica; Mrs. George Sims, as
Pocahontas; Miss O'Neai, Butterfly ;
Mrs. Parks, as the Flower Girl, or Miss
Anker as Good Luck. All these ladies
were gowned in a most pleasing and at
tractive manner. E. L. Stiff, as Sunny
dim, would probably have come in for q
prize.
To decide upon the best gent and lady
waItzer was the most difficult of all, and
of the fifteen couples selected from all the
dancers 1t was hard to pick one as better
than the other, Afte- weighing all the
points the COMMITTEES decided on the
merits of one couple. and their decision,
while it met with some adverse comment,
which is natural in all instances Of this
kind, can be faid to have met with the
approval Of the majority.

PROMINENT MEN IN PECT
TRINITY PR PER lES

C. w. Gilman, the well known mining
man, who has been interested for some
time in pr perties near Lovelock, arrived
the fore rart of the week from Los
Angeles, accompanied by ]. Wells Smith,
an eminent authority ON rines and
mining.
The two gentlemen made trip to the
Trinity mining district, about twelve
miles northeast of Lovelock, Wednesday
and whils there looked over the property
of the Nevada California Mining Com
pany, situated in Trinity Gulch in
Trinity Mountain. This property, one
of the original staked claims of the
Trinity distric-, and the first to rave
any considerable amount of development
work performed on it, consists of well
defined silver beari-g ledge, which has
given substantial values in the white
metal. After careful inspection of the
property the gentlemen returned to
Lovelock last evening.
I, Seen at the Franklin Hotel, where he
is stopping, Mr.. Gilman last evening
gave out the following to a representa-
tive of the Lovelock Tribune:
I'VE are not in position to give out
any information for publication at this
time. Our visit to the mining properties
was of short duration, but everything
appeare satisfactory to lis. The show
ings in the Trinity district generally are
exc nent and our properties sre we'll
located. The plans as outlined by our
company and which will probably be
adopted will result in large amount OF
development work being prosecuted, but
am not in position to give any more
definite Information at this time.''
Messrs. Smith and Gilman will remrin
in Lovelock for few days before re-
turning to Los Angeles.

Three shifts of men are vigorously

mill, the new Seven Troughs plant, that
will be used for the treatment of Gus
tom ore.
The contract for the furnishing of
the lumber, lime and cement, has been
placed with the Tonopah Lumber Co.
A. l.. Bachrodt, the Lovelock manager
for the company, stated to Tribune
reporter, in reply to query as to
whether the contract for the furnishing
of the material had been let to his
company, that it had, and that tho
company would soon begin to deliver
material. "We expect to have another
l4-animal team plying between Lovo-
lock and the district in short time
and have already sent to Fallon for tn.
team.
Mr.. Bachrodt also stated that in his
opinion, the building of the new mill
meant more for the district than wus
ordinarily understood. Not only in tho
big force of men that it will keep en-
ployed, but also in the fact that prop
critics, not now having ores treated, and
that have been lying idle, as well as
ore from leasers, can find ready
market.

DRAGGED BY STIRRUP
BUT SAVES HIMSELF

T. W. MacMickel, while riding horse
back from Reno to Chafey, week ago,
to look after some mining properties at
that camp, met with an accident near
Rye Patch, of which he came near being
killed. His horse stepped into deep
badger hole. MacMickel was pitched
forward over the horses head, his foot
holding in the st.rrup. The horse arose
and started to run, dragging the man
for distance of $50 yards, when by
rare chance he caught the bride reins
that were dragging along on the ground
and stopped the horse, thereby saving
his own life. MacMickel made his way
to Ry' Patch, thence to Chafey, where
he spent week recuperating.

Howard N. Riddle, the we'll known
newspaper man, and at present editor Of
the Seven Troughs District News, pub
lished at Mazuma, Nevada, in the Seven
Troughs district, arrived in Lovelock last
evening, on short business trip.
''Seven Troughs is feeling the impetus
of new blood and new life since the last
election states Mr.. Riddle. "It is now
advancing by leaps and bounds to the
foremost Of the producing camps in
Nevada. Most all of the locaters are
performing their annual assessment
work, and in nearly every instance finds
have been made in doing the develop
ment work required by law. The
Harris Demarest mill is nearing COM
pletion. The excavations have been
completed and part of the machinery
is OF the road. The mill, it is steted,
will be ready to receive custom ore by
the 18th of January. The Hunting mill
for the Badger Hill property is on the
ground, aid this mill will be eady for
operation by the 10Th of January. A
strike was made recen ly in the Hayes
Monette lease, and Mr.. Hayes, who is
not now in the district, has been tele-
graphed for, end no definite information
has been given out regarding the strike.
The district never looked better. All it
needs is development and as fast as it
receives that development it makes good
with remarkable results"

The dog poisoner has descended
like a scourge upon Lovelock, and has
left the carcasses Of at least two-score
of the dogs of the village behind him.
This much he has done, and it seems he
is still at work, for every hour brings
fresh reports of some other canine
that has gone to dog heaven via the
strychnine route.
Many of the dogs that have died
were well rid of, and there are many
yet which it would be benefit to be
rid Of. The many starved, lame and
homeless ours seen daily ON the street
are an eyesore and a nuisance, and
that other class of Objectionable dogs,
which more fortunate than the home
less ours, yet have careless masters
which permit them to run and bark at
passing horsemen, vehicles and auto
mobiles, is even greater nuisance.
There are no tears to shed when such
dogs as these cease to evist, although

to the dog poisoner because his victims

with an affectionate nature. The big

poisoner
The dog poisoner is thief, for he
steals the value of the animal to his
master. He is coward, for he works
on the sly, and in the dark. He is at
heart murderer, for some dogs are
cherished almost as much as human.
The dog poisoner is the most despised
of all arrant persons, and he well de-
serves the feeling of adherence with
which he is considered.

MAZUMA HILLS MILL
CLOSES WITH COLD SNAP

The extreme cold of the early part
of the week was responsible for the
closing down of the Mazuma Hills
mill for few days because of the
freezing of some water pipes connect
cd with the mill. The broken parts
have been repaired and the mill start
ed up again on ore from the Buckhorn
property. 1t is the intention of the
mill management to hereafter drain
the pipe subject to freezing ana thus
prevent similar shut-downs in the
future.

The Buckhorn at Seven Troughs ha
been the scene of another strike. At the

averaging 900 to the ton. They have
besides three feet of milling ore, and on
the hanging wall there are nine feet of
ore which will go from So to $40 per ton.
They have sunk to depth of 26O feet,
and the indications are that they are
going to find similar condition in the
