A rush of business compels us to print
six pages this week and yet we are un-
able to give the usual amount of mining
news,
Next week will be the hottest and
quietest of the year. A good week to
keep in the shade and plan your fall
work. Get ready to begin.
George Pringle of the Commercial ho-
tel took might off, Monday and ac-
companied the Chicago mining men,
who purchased the Rockfand, to Wa
buska.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. Hironymous returned
Tuesday evening from trip to Reno
and Lake Tohoe. They report very
pleasant time with very hot drive from
Dayton.
Leon Willis and o. /. Bibb were over
from Mountain View Monday to bring
news of another strike on the Mountain
View property and to get supplies for
the camp.
Messrs. Patterson and Kane of Salt
Lake City, interested in the Yerington
Copper company and part owners of the
Wheeler gold mine, spent Monday last
in this city.
NJ. N. Johnson, of the Western Ne
vada Mining Company, was here on
trip to inspect the development work
being done at the company's property.
He left Tuesday.
Those who failed to go to the Owl
hail last night missed a musical treat.
We trust Miss Wilson and the Misses
Drysdale will entertain again when so
many music lovers are not out of town.
Postmaster Littell has decided to build
roller skating rink, in fact he made
the decision sometime ago and a part of
the lumber needed is already at Wabuska.
A good rink will be good investment
]. II. Cook and wife of Sold6eld were
registered at the Yerington hotel the
first of the week. Mr.. Cook is an in
surance man, but like many others, has
become interested in mining and could
not resist the temptation to visit the best
district in the State.
Mason Mcleod, Harry Holland, Frank
Estes and George Daudel have gone on
two weeks camping trip. We would
advise the trout in the streams and all
game to avoid their camp, as all four
have good appetites and do not intend
to eat beefsteak on this trip.
We understand that Adaline Drysdale,
who is visiting Queen Wilson, is writing
story for the next issue of the Times
entitled The Lost Wardrobe, or How
to Sing Without Music" We shall look
with pleasure for the story and trust
there will be no disappointment.
John w. Owens of Racine, Wisconsin.
spent the greater part of this week look
ing over this district. Mr. Owens owns

for himself as to the future prospects of
the district. 1t is needless to say that
after thorough investigation he went
home satisfied.
Fred B. Magaw, of the Goldfeld Syn
dicate Mining company, which has pur-
chased the Rockland mine, left Monday
evening for Chicago. The new owners
of the Rockland will test their ores
thoroughly, and as soon as they are con-
vinced what process is cheapest and best,
will proceed to build their mill
Our list of those who have remained
at home during this hot weather, with
their reasons for staying, could not be
published this week as several prom
inent citizens and good paid up subscrib-
ers begged us to wait one more week
and promised faithfully to go somewhere
in the meantime.
Mrs. M. Mingle of Granite was in the
city Monday completing the purchase of
an interest in lease on the Big 20.
Mrs. Mingle is very enthusiastic over
the prospects of Granite, and says she
will ride out of that camp in one of the
best automobiles made and that it will
be her property. We trust that her faith
will be rewarded handsomely and that
she will be able to afford several autos.
