The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1909-03-04

The mass meeting Of last week dem
onstrated one thing to nicety, name
ly, that adverse ideas create nothing
but confusion and that before unity of
action can be had looking towards
sewer and fire fighting facilities in
Fallon, petty, selfish desires must give
way to comprehensive. intelligent
plan which will appeal to every local
citizen with a spark of civic pride in
his breast.
1t was gratifying to note that the
heaviest taxpayers, including w. w.
Williams, l. II. Kent and R. L. Doug
lass favored the adoption of measures
which would alike conform to the ci US
finances and bring remedial results.
They believe that reasonable sum
expended in securing fire protection
and sewer facilities would bring about
a corresponding increase in city proper
ty valuations. Taking all precedents
as an indice from which to judge, one
dollar will bring increased valuation to
the amount of several time the sum,
in addition to providing for crying
need for our community,
Acting upon the declared sentiment,
the city council met Monday evening
and drafted an ordinance providing for
the issuance of bonds to the amount Of
$35, 600 which sum will be sufficient to
install a modern system covering the
town of alon, AS outlined, adequate
pressure will be secured from the top
Of a l50 foot tower TO which the watef
win be pun. ed by gasoline engines
from a number of bored wells. Such
an innovation viii reduce the present
insurance rates thirty per cent. 1t is
pointed out that the bond issue can be
floated readily at rate of interest
commensurate with the times, perhaps
five or six per cent.

Ramsey a Coming Camp.

Mr.. d. J. Kennedy, Churchill Coun-
ty's live mine promoter, returned last
week from Tampa, Florida. bringing
with him NJ. E. Gillett, one of the
most progressive capitalists in the
entire United States.
Mr.. Gillett served for two years as
Mayor of Tampa, and his extensive
business interests caused him to decline
any further public service. At present
he owns the largest citrus nursery in
the world, situated at Tampa. He is
also president of the Gillett Lumber &
Transportation Co., of Cuba, besides
having large interests in sugar refiner-
les. etc. In other words he is, among
the great business interests Of the
country, man among men.
Mr.. Gillett has previously associated
himself with the mining interests of
Nevada, and is treasurer of the Wire
Gold & Milling Co. of Ramsey, besides
being heavy stock holder in the Fair
view Mizpah Mining Co.
Recently D. J. Kennedy decided to
take trip to Tampa in an effort to get
Mr.. Gillett to come out and look over
the Ramsey property with a view TO
putting in a mill. Not being a practi-
cal mining man himself, but becoming
interested in the lease, Mr.. 6illett Sc
cured the services Of one Of the most
renowned mineral experts in the coun-
try, Carl Darnell Of New York. The
two accompanied Mr.. Kennedy direct
to Ramsey. After an extensive OK
animation, upon the return to Reno,
Mr.. Darnell pronounced the Hawk's ;
Nest lease the greatest body of ore
he had ever seen; that Mr. Kennedy
was justified in calling It continue
tion of the famous Comstock lode;
that with proper development the lease
should make so men millionaires.
Such a report as this by his chosen
mining engineer naturally greatly en-
thused Mr.. Mr.. Gillett. In other
words the mill is a sure thing. Mr..
Darnell will soon design the mill which
will cost approximately Slo0,e0o. II
will be a 50-ton affair, on the same
style as the one used by the Goldheld
Consolidated CO., only smaller. 1t will
be perfectly modern, fit to handle any
class of ore that the lease produces.
Mr.. Kenneny, deserves much com
mendation for his successful efforts in
bringing into this district men of such
note, men whose opinion on mineral
district are credited by the public at
large, and which opinion will sooner or
later cause an influx of capital and
business into the district.

New Water Way.

C. w. Verplank has very generously
given the right of way for a water
ditch through his land north of Ghas.
L. Goes residence, to Geo. w. Likes,
who has had force of men at work
for several days. Mr.. Likes has been
at an expenditure of some fifty dollars
In putting in this new waterway.
While he had right of way which
he has used for some years he saw the
advantage of the new route. Many
more citizens can be served from this
latter ditch should the town buy water
from the government. The new ditch
comes into town by AR, Jeffries home,
thence east via Fred Wightman s
place. We are reliably informed that
Mr. Verplank will soon begin to level
all sandhills between his place and town
and seed the ground to alfalfa.
While one of Hub Austin's teams
were working on the ditch the driver
uncovered human skull, undoubtedly
that of an Indian. He left it on the
bank having no immediate use for il
himself.
Todd Wilbur heard of il and went
down after nightfall to cop it but some
one had beat him to it, We understand
that the skull was sold to some curio
lover for the magnificent sum of 81. so.
Think of it, human skull for $3.50

The City Council Has Its Shoulder to
The Wheel of Progress and De-
serve Citizens Aid

! The expenditure during the last year
which to the most corsory observer
demonstrates the urgent need, not on
ly from standpoint of convenience
but an object of economy as well, of
sewer system. However. no definite
plans have been formulated for sewage
disposal, but it is generally conceded
that the construction of system can
not long be delayed.
Fallon occupies an enviable position
in the eyes of the outside world. 1t is
the project town of an irrigation dis
triet, the scope of which is of such
magnitude, that no doubt can be had
of its future. 1t is the distributing
point for large mining territory, and
the seat of government Of a county
rich in undeyeloped resources. As
time goes along it must come more and
more to be city of culture; resi-.
Dental and educational center, and the
action of the City Council spells "cor.

which is being laid to endure through
time and rebound municipal credit.
Surely we have thrown the mantle
of inaction from our shoulders, and are
ready to face the development that
means the New. Fallon.
Senator Williams TO The Front
Senator w. w. Williams attended
the meeting of the Council TucsdSy
evening. He stated that he would
take 500, 600 of the water bond issue.
Furthermore he very generously teh-
dered the town a site for the water
works plaht-a lot 100 by 200 near the
present site of the electric works.
This was very much appreciated BY
the Council and needless to say will be
by the citizens also. =

New Pipe Line at Wonder

We are reliably informed that with.
in thirty days an additional pipe line
will be under construction to supply
water to the Nevada Wonder mill.
The line will be run from Sage Hen
Canyon, a distance of six or seven
miles. This additional water supply
will greatly facilitate the working ca
pacity of the mill. Wonder is looking
good and we believe will yet be great
camp.

j. j. Jarvis is now in charge of the
The Nevada Distillers & Brewers Co..
having disposed of his business inter-
ests at Fairview. Jack Snowden. the
former manager, will probably leave
Falon in few days. He is expecting
his father from the east to visit him
soon, after which Jack will make trip
to Rawhide with view to securing a
mining lease. Jack is good fellow
and we wish him luck.

2. Trade Without Apprentices.

The Waiia Walla Morning Union
makes it known that its neighboring
town Of Kylitsburg, a community of
1900 people, is suffering for want of
cobbler, som times known as a shoe
maker. Although the people of the
place have been holding out all kinds of
inducements for a wielder of the ham
mer on the shoe last, none will stick,
and the city is at the mercy of the ready
made shoe seller, the new shoes costing
SO to S. when an outlay of small sum
would suffice in many instances if
shoe doctor were handy.
The shortage Of a handy man to mend
shoes that are frayed at the points of
resistances, is not confined to the town
of Waitsburg alone, but such a man is
a real necessity whose absence is felt
in numerous villages, town and cities
throughout the country. The cobbler
is conspicuous for his absence, but
whether this is due to economic change
or to aesthetic taste is a question that
is debatabie. Cne thing is sure, it
seems there are as many shoes that
need mcndirG as there used To be, and
there is n9botiy to do the job. What
has become II the race Of Germans
who rs i.te as twensy and thirty years
back came over with a few lasts and
pegs and Avn. ald D strong Determine
ton, and ina few years became prom
inent shoe merchant and an honored
and respected citizen Of the town.

Discovery of the Pole.

The discovery of the north pole has
been the charming endeavor of scient-
lists almost since the discovery that
the earth is round, and it is credit to
America that so many of its men
in high position possessed the daring
and courage to face the hardships that
one must meet and overcome in the
long journey through ice and snow.
The question has often been asked,
what will it profit the world if the pole
is discovered. That question might be
answered by asking another-what has
the world gained from men of inquiring
minds? Gravity always played its part
in the universe, but it was not until
Newton came that its function was
understood. The heavenly bodies moved
in their appointed places for centuries
unknown to man, but astronomy is
studying them now and learning about
them much as one neighbor learns Of
another. The factory hand operates
machines that are the product Of the
inquiring mind. The locomotive, the
electric light, the wireless telegraph
and the aeroplane all bring under con-
tribution forces that have been here
since the world began.
There still remain unexplored fields
and hidden things for geographers.
There still is much to learn of tides,
currents and the ocean. A noted Eng
lish scientist truly says the pole is a
unique spot Oh the globe Cook stand
ing there faced due south. "Whatever
way he looked he was more than twenty
miles nearer the center Of the earth
than If he stood at the equator. His
weight was greater than anywhere else
ON the surface Of the globe. A plumb
line in his hand pointed vertically up
ward to the pile Of heavens around
which all stars reyolye Half of the
stars he could never see; the other half
never went below his horizon and would
have been visible throughout the six
months Of night The famous constel-
lation Orion circlod around and around
bis horizon. The polar star stood d.
rectly over his head "
