The editor of the Times attended the
Democratic State Convention at Tonopah
this week and returns somewhat the
worse for wear. Tonopah did itself
proud as convention city and the
courteous treatment received by the
delegates will not soon be forgotten.
The convention itself was one of those
red hot meetings where there is some
thing doing every minute. One of the
interesting scrappy kind that only dem
ocrats can have. All states were melted
and when the smoke cleared away the
following nominations had been made:
United States Senator - Francis G.
Newlands, of Washoe.
Congressman-George A. Bartlett, of
Nye.
Justice of the Supreme Court-George
F. Talbot, of Elko.
Surveyor General-C. L. Deady.
Regents Clong terms Drank Wilt
ans, of Lincoln and F. w. Kettle, of
Churchill.
Regent (short term)-J. ]. Sullivan.
Electors-C. S. Spragg, of Esmeralda;
]. A. Miller, of Lander; L. l.. Hudson.
of Elko.
Chairman State Central Committee
Peter ]. Somers, of Washoe.
Secretary of State Central Committee
A. B. Gray, of Lyon.
Judge, Third District-Peter Breene.
Judge, Fifth District-J. P. O'Brien.

M0RNINCSTAR FOR OIL
The New City Headquarters for the
Boomers Who Are After OIL

And now Morningstar, the growing
town that lies close to the great Ludwig
copper mine in Smith Valley, has be-
come headquarters for the men who are
at work doing holding work on the many
oil placer claims taken up recently in
that vicinity. Beginning about mile
from the town all the ground for several
miles has been located, and some of il
twice. Men and teams can be seen al
work, and 1t begins to look as though
we were to have an oil field in Lyon
county.
The Original discovery of natural gas
was made about three miles from Morn
ingstar. In a little draw is found a
spring and the natural gas coming out
keeps the water constantly bubbling
Light the gas as it escapes from the
earth and it makes fine red flame. II
6. Livingstone, w. r. Good, w. II
Murray and NJ. Feigh Ryan are at work
near the spring. Fifteen feet from the
spring hole six feet long and seven
feet deep has been dug, going through
sand and thin shale, and at the bottom
of this hole the gas escapes in two places
and can be lit at any time. Near the
edge of the old sand lake where the
earth has been scored away by the ele'
ments, the formation shows oil sand
The indications are certainly good
enough to enthuse even a man who has
had experience in oil fields and several
men with money have already become
interested and are making arrangement:
to ship in rigs and start drilling.
Morningstar has established stage
line to Wabuska, the trip being made
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
A trip to Morningstar will surprise
those who have an idea the town is no,
making good. The Rothchild Mercan-
tile company has a stock of general
merchandise that would hardly ever be
found in town with two thousand in.
habitants. Glenn Jackson has just opened
up JOY factory where the weary trav'
eler can get rest, liquid refreshment:
and meal of victuals. Mike Sava has
a thirst parlor. Harris Bros. have charge
OF the townsite and are certainly rustlers.
The event of last week was the wedding
of the Belle of Morningstar, Miss Annie
Svedmark, to Herman Ballerstein. The
celebration, after the wedding, was made
general, and the entire town gave the
couple a reception.
We expect to see several hundred peo-
pie in the vicinity of Morningstar within
six months. Many OF the citizens OF
Yerington have secured interests in the
oil placers and several have purchased
town lots.

Socialist Convention

The county convention of the Socialist
party met at the residence of F. ]. Len
nard, Jr., in Yerington, Saturday even
ing, August 29, and placed in nomina-
ton candidates for the various county
offices.
Both the Yerington and Buckskin To-
Gals were fully represented by regularly
elected delegates. Delegates from the
north end of the county failed to appear.
The convention was regularly organ
lied with w. H. Burton of Buckskin as
chairman, and F. ]. Lennard, Jr., of
Yerington as secretary.
The following names were placed in
nomination for the different Offices:
State Senator, W. H. Burton of Buck
skin; Assemblyman from south end of
county, F. ]. Lennard, Jr., of Yering-
ton; Clerk and Treasurer, l.. H. Wagner
of Yerington; Sheriff and Assessor, B.
G. Smith of Yerington; Auditor and Re-
corder, E. P. McCulla of Yerington;
County Commissioner for Smith Valley
District, Ed Mollart of Buckskin.
On account of the north end of the
county not being represented in the con-
vention, the position of Assemblyman
and County Commissioner for that part
of the county was left vacant to be filled
at later date.
The position of District Attorney was
left vacant, owing to the fact that at the
present time the party cannot boast(?)
of member carrying card in the
''Pettifogers' Union" a qualification,
(according to the working rules of that
Union), necessary in order to be eligible
to that Office.
w. H. Burton of Buckskin was nomi-
mated for State Committeeman for Lyon
county.
F. ]. Lennard, Jr., and L. H. Wagner
of Yerington and w. H. Burton of
Buckskin were nominated for County
Central Committeeman.
According to custom the actions of the
convention will be submitted to refer
endum vote of the party membership for
approval, after which the petition neces-
sary in order to have the county ticket
placed upon the official ballot will be
circulated and filed with proper authori-
ties. f. J. LENNARD, JR.,
Secretary.

MT. GRANT DISTRICT


Munden and others has opened up 10
foot ledge that looks good and runs we'll
in gold and silver. The Copper Farm
group has two ledges, one running north
and south looks we'll; one running east
and west on same ground shows some
good paintings. These claims are stu
ated on Mt. Grant and Cottonwood
Creek and the owners are doing consid-
cradle development work on them.
Mr.. Daniely and Geo. Fowler, form
erly of Berkeley, California, have fine
showing on their claims adjoining the
Champion mine. They have two foot
ledge of gold ore that pans big in free
gold. There is a we'll defined ledge with
good walls of porphyry and diorite. They
are sinking on the ledge and expect to
open up big mine in the near future.
Ed Kriesel of Yerington is here doing
his annual assessment work. He has a
shaft down 20 feet. Every days work
shows an improvement in the ore. He
has also run tunnel about $50 feet and
expects to tap big ledge of $40 ore that
crops out on the surface. Ed is hust-
ler and we all wish him good luck.
There is more development being done
here than there ever has been before,
and we expect to see some good mines
opened up. T. B. Gamble and Alfred
Day have just made good discovery.
They have found 2-foot ledge that as
sayed Sl7l.15 per ton in gold. The ledge
was blind one and it could not be seen
anywhere on the surface.
The prospectors of Mt. Grant have
built horse trail down Cat Creek to
Hawthorne. The trail is a steep one,
but rear one to Hawthorne.
Everybody is busy doing their annual
assessment work with good results. We
expect to see big boom and rush into
this district as there is so many good
showings here. Where is the man who
will build large custom quartz mill on
Cottonwood Creek? Mr.. Stone and
family of Tonopah will move here for a
month or so. Mr.. Stone has some claims
in this district that show up well. Mr..
Stone has many friends in these parts.
and we all wish him good luck.
Mr.. Monroe, who owns the Keystone
mine in Rattlesnake Canyon, is running
a tunnel to tap the ledge at some depth.
He has the tunnel in about 100 feet.
This tunnel is a crosscut tunnel and
will show up the mine in fine shape
as soon as the ledge is struck. The ore
in this mine is of high grade. Ore
taken from the l00-foot level gave an as
say of $500 to the ton in free gold and
no doubt Mr.. Monroe will show up big
mine. At any rate he is a slayer and
deserves success.
AS the weather is so cool and nice
here this season and wood and water so
plentiful, we expect to see quite rush
here in the next thirty days, as it is a
fine place to camp in the shade of the
pines. During the long hot days of the
next two months, Mt. Grant will be-
come known as a summer resort for
those who wish to lie in the shade and
drink ice cold spring water. No ice is
needed here, cool draught from one OF
our springs will make you think of home
and mother.
