Josephine Deffry Co.
COMMUNICATED

The Josphine Deffry Company closes
its week engagement in Elko tonight.
1t has been pleasant one to the people
OF Elko. The unanimous opinion is it
was by far the best company that has
appeared in Elko. The lesson taught
by the moral plays produced by this
company made those who attended the
theatre better for it, The Individual
work OF the members of this company
was praiseworthy in all respects. Mr..
Hawkins the capable and pleasant man
ager is veteran in the business as was
shown by his quiet, refined comedy
work. Mr.. Alcine, the leading man, in
all his work shows finish and apprecia-
ton in the art of acting. Miss Grace
Hamilton in ingenue work was chic
and charming. The character work of
Miss Ashton in her many different parts
shows that this lady is capable and
suited to this class of work. She was
excellent throughout. Of the star
nothing more can be said than was
stated a few days ago. The tears
brought to the eyes evidence her high
ability in emotional roles. Her acting
goes right to the. heart and makes one
feel better after the tear has fallen.
We said before Josephine Deffry
came here a stranger. She and her
company have won home with the
people of Elko. Her return which we
hope shall be soon will be eagerly
watched for, and she will always be as
sured of welcome from her many
friends who were strangers week
ago.

Nev.d. in 1899 will Break al Record,

People who keep in touch with the
press in all parts of the state cannot
failto note the wave of optimism that
has penetrated to every corner of the
state, says the Austin Reveille. There
Is action all along the line. Mining
activity of the legitimate sort was
never before, in the history of the
state, spread over so great a territory.
Every county has new camps coming to
the front with substantial capitalists
and mining men behind them. The
counties that have hitherto been classed
as largely, if not wholly agricultural,
are proving to have mineral deposits
that rival the boom camps of the boom
days in actual ore showings.
This new and increased activity in
mining in the State! of Nevada is not
confined to new discoveries alone. The
old mines and the old camps are being
sought out by the eastern capitalist.
New methods of ore reduction make
many dump, which was worthless
thirty years ago, u bonanza today.
This section of the state, especially is
furnishing some notable examples of
the revival of old properties and of the
return of old camps to the producing
list. Statistics along this line will form
one of the most interesting chapters in
the story the next census will tell of the
mining industry in this state.
Another distinguishing feature in the
progress of mining in this state next
year will be the tremendous increase
OF reduction plants at the mines. The
immense saving to mine owners and to
stockholders, made possible by this
treatment of Nevada ores at home, will
never be realized until the report of
the government statisticians is in.
Nevada will break all records in 1909

The Days Of so

Col. Hyman is in receipt of letter
from San Francisco that carries him
back to 1862. In that year, he was one
OF the forty charter members of the San
francisco Stock Exchange, all of whom
but the Colonel have passed away.
The letter states thatrall the records
of the exchange were destroyed in the
great fire of 1906 and effort is now
being made to restore them. The list
of charter members of the organization
went up in smoke with the other re-
cords and only thirty-seven of their
names are known to the present officers.
The letter requests Col. Hyman to
furnish the three missing names and to
give all the information he can regard
ing the early history of the Stock
Exchange. ,,r,o
Forty-six years is long time for a
.person to remember events and names
Great things have happened in that
time and one would naturally think
that minor events and the names of
associates of that time would pass from
ones memory, but not SO with Col.
Hyman. The days of 1862 are still
fresh in his memory and he is able to
recall the names of his associates i'm
the organization of San Francisco's first
stock exchange.

sewer sy- tenn, etc
Councilman Gee was instructed
to negotiate for sufficient pipe for

work may not be delayed further.
The sewer system WAS also dis

body that, while the streets are
being torn up for the waterworks,
to also install the sewer system,
which will be done as soon as prac-

BELONGED TO BELL STARR GANG
Identification Of Henry Starr and Pal
Sets Local Tongues WaRfing

The identification of the two
hold-ups who got away with the
swag at Amity, last week. is now
complete, and the episode has lin
bered up the tongues of citizens
who came here when Holl y was a
flag station, but whose identity
mustlnot be disclosed at this time.
To begin. Henry Starr is
nephew of the Belle Star. whose
daring escapades in the Indian ter
ritory, twenty years ago, as train
robber, highway tiend and bank
looter are stranger than fiction, and
is still fresh in the minds of
some Of our people here.
Henry Starr is the same culprit
whom the federal government Of
fered a reward of $1O,OOO about
twelve years ago, six years elapsing
without the sign Of a claimant.
Finally. when enroute to New
Zealand, Starr, accompanied by his
wife and pal, Kid Wilson, stopped
at Colorado Springs, and was spot
ted by U. S. official, who after
ward tossed up the find" to the
local sleuths, who, try as they
would, succeeded only in getting
him four-year sentence by Judge
Parker at Fort Smith, Ark more
of whom later.
