Balloon hunting has been one of the
favorite amusements in Vegas the past
week, and according to reports, has been
attended with much success.
Evening is the best time to pursue
the festive ships of the air, as they be-
tray their presence in different portions
of the starlit sky by displaying lights
Of various colors.
The necessary ammunition for the
sport consists of a vivid Imagination and
an easy credulity. With good supply
of these, single individual has been
able to spot Is balloons in one eve
ming. Some of the more eager and am
bilious hunters have even been able to
hear the voices of the aeronauts COM
ing down from the heavens.
As near as may be estimated from the
published reports, 1892 balloons were
sighted above the Southern California,
Arizona and Nevada deserts on Monday
and Tuesday evenings.
The fact that neither of the balloons
which ascended from Los Angeles sue
ceeded in getting more than few miles
from that city, has served to dampen
the enthusiasm of the desert huntsmen
to some extent. We understand, how
ever, that the sport is still popular with
the young people of Vegas.

ROSSELL SURPRISE.

Last Saturday evening large party
of friends of Mr. and Mrs. E. j. Ros-

surprise at their home on Main street.
Games, dancing and music combined to
make the occasion very jolly one.
While refreshments were being served
Mr.. Rossell was presented with beauti-
ful gold mounted meerschaum pipe, by
the men who have been so long in his en-
ploy at the ice plant. Mrs. Rossell was
the recipient of handsome gift of sill
verware.
Much regret is felt at the departure
from Las Vegas of the Rossell family.
They have been residents of this city
since the townsite was opened, and have
gained strong hold on the regards OF
all The very best wishes of our citi-
zens 90 with them.

BIG STRIKE
AT CAL|ENTE
RiYeS Brothers Srike II Rich
on Old "Caliente Gold
Mining Property

Conductor r. T. Rives, of the s. p.
L. A. & S. L. r. r. and his brother G..
f. Rives have opened up body of ore
on their property at Caliente which is
creating considerable excitement in
that section Within 600 feet of the
railroad, opposite the depot, they have
at last succeeded in locating the ledge
which has been the object of search by
several years.
The development work done by Geo.
Fetterman in 1905 was quite extensive
and included running a tunnel into the
mountain for 80 feet in the expectation
of cutting the vein. 1t now appears
that for almost the entire distance the
tunnel was running PARALLEL with the
vein and only 80 or 40 feet from it.
In prospecting the surface the present
owners, Rives Bros. discovered the
ledge and are now sinking shaft which
has reached depth of 80 feet. The
pay streak is Is inches wide and ASSAYS
from 1929 to $500 per ton, much of the
ore containing free gold plainly visible
without the aid of glass. Considerable
rich ore has been sacked and has to be
guarded against the depredations OF
ore thieves who have already robbed
the mine of considerable values.
One significant feature of the prop
erty is the fact that the ore appears to
be in "alunite" and is very similar to
that found in Goldield, Cripple Creek
and the rich Railroad Pass district near
Vegas, now known as Alunite. When
ever found in quantities, alunite has
always proven an index to ore bodies
of wonderful richness.
Rives Bros. have many warm friends
in Las Vegas and vicinity who rejoice
with them in the good fortune which
has attended their persistent efforts.

LEAP YEAR DANCE.

The young ladies of Vegas have poven
beyond doubt that they are not pikers.
The energetic manner in which they
corralled all the eligable young men of
the town and did the h0nors at the
Leap Year Ball, Thursday evening was
a lesson on the fine points of social eti-
quette by which the coy lads may well
profit. 1t is well to notice in this con-
nection that any breach of etiquette on
the part of the expectant young
men seated about the ball room was
Immediately followed by financial loss,
the fines imposed by the business like
lady managers being rigidly enforced.
Miss Grace Ferris acted as Master of
ceremonies and under her skillful guild
ance the guests entered into the enjoy
ment of the evening with enthusiasm.
The "moonlight" dances were especially
popular with all.
The affair was a thorough success from
beginning to end and the only regret
Expressed by the mem is that it will
be tour years before leap year dances
will again be in order

Governor DiCkerSOn Issues
Thanksgiving Proclamation

"The time hallowed custom of setting
apart one day of the three hundred and
sixty-five for the offering up, by CRATE
full people, OF thanks to Almighty God
for blessings received in the past and
PRAYERS for the continuation of those
blessings, has become an unwritten law
of our land and each succeeding year
finds the custom more deeply, more
reverently intrenched in the hearts and
minds of our people. The time is again
at hand for the observance of such day.
"The year now drawing to close has
been marked by storm as well as by sun
shine. A disastrous financial panic,
Nation wide, seriously affected for a
time the prosperity of our State. The
untimely death, last May, of our honor
ed Govorner, John Sparks, cast a pail
over our Commonwealth that has not
We, lifted.
"Yet we have enjoyed many great bless
ings for which devout thanks should be
returned to the Giver OF all Good. The
bitter industrial strife which, at the
beginning of the year, threatened, for a
time, the peace and tranquility OF our
State has given place to mutual under
standing and harmony of action between
the contending forces. Industrial peace
now regns within our borders. Abund-
ant crops have rewarded the toll of our
farmers. Our mines have poured forth
a steady stream of the precious metals
for the enrichment of our people and
the blessing of mankind. Our State is
constantly and rapidly growing in popu-
lation and wealth, and we have within
our boundaries less of extreme poverty
than any other State in the American
Union.
"Now, therefore, l, D. S. Dickerson,
Lieutenant and Acting Governor OF the
State of Nevada, in conformity with the
proclamation of the President OF the
United States, do hereby designate as a
day of general thanksgiving Thursday,
the twenty sixth of the present Novem-
ber, and do urge and recommend that
throughout the State the people cease
from their wonted occupations, and at
their several homes and places OF wor-
ship reverently thank God for the mani
fold blessings He has bestowed"
Given under my hand and

of Nevada, at the Capitol
in Carson City, this the
18th day of November, in

characters of Southern California. He
