year, as II does in all other years,
will come to a close with Easter Sun

Excursion
Traffic Big

Beginning on Wednesday last the
first trains carrying exeursionists and
colonists from the east under the
rates effective from March / to May
on the Southern Pacific commenced
rolling through Cobre. The traffic
has so far been above expectations,
the railroad people having been in
clined to belief that even low rates
would not revive the travel which
fell to comparatively nothing with
the big slump in railroad business
following the holidays.
Big trains, however. loaded TO top
capacity, have been pulling through
Cobre the last several days and word
from trains on the way from the east
is to the effect that the traffic Is
showing no signs of decrease. It
means a great deal to Nevada. as
thousands of the colonists are COM
ing TO this state to look about and in
great many cases to locate. Not a
few have come to this district since
the excursion rates went into effect.
Some of them are here to seek en-
ployment and learn the mining camp
way and opportunities, while others
are in merely to look around and to
take advantage now and later of OPP
portunities that may come to their
notice. All of these people are sup
piled with money for their immediate
needs and represent an excellent sort
of gain to population and enterprise

remark was excited by the decided
talent displayed by Master John Put

age, showed a technique and mastery
of the piano which would do credit
to one far beyond his youthful age.
