Pierce County

wholesome influence on the entire county,
and the people are making remarkable
social, intellectual and moral progress. 1t
is more difficult to gather together the
evidence of it than II is to set down the
achievements that show material advance
ment. The most significant Of all is that
any trained student Of the people may turn
where he will outside the political rings
and he will find wholesome folks every
where living frankly, working cheerfully,
full of ambition, lifting the level of life
higher. Every generation is in many ways
In advance Of the preceding generation.
The facilities for a high standard Of liv-
ing in Pierce county is second to none in
Nebraska. Reaching out from Pierce City
there are twenty-one telephone lines with
from ten to twenty farmers connected with
each line. In fact the whole county is
one network of telephone wires; and about
So per cent of the rural population are con-
neoted with these lines. This is not only
an educator TO the rural population but 1t
brings the farmer in close touch with the
usine man. In fact, it makes a bust
ness man Of the farmer. Then the county
has its full share of organizations, not the
least Of which is the County Agricultural
society. Every town and city has its clubs
and fraternal orders. In fact, there are
many towns of Nebraska that are over
organized. Especially is this the case with
many Of the county seats.
As most organizations rave the good of
the general community In view, a vast
amount of energy can be saved by uniting.
Here Is a board of trade. and a merchants
association and a woman's club and a re-
tail grocers' association and possibly 9TH
ers-all aiming at the same end-the bet
terment of the community. Let all these
affiliate into a compact organization, pool
the funds and do business In a business
like way. Work up a healthy public SEN
timent for the home town among home
people.
The business men of Pierce nave been
very active and progressive. They have
appreciated from the start the advantages
OF broad, well-kept streets with many
shade trees. And they have taken much
pride and pains with their homes and
lawns. Their public buildings are In ex-
cellent condition and an honor and orna-
ment to any city Of their size. The com
mercial club is devoting some Of their time,
energy and cash In developing a good road
sentiment and making Il easier for the
farmer to get to market. There is one
branch Of this work, however, that the
average commercial club hardly seems to
be in touch with and that is the great BEN
eft to a town by the establishment and
maintenance of a first class hotel. 1t is
one OF the best ads for a town and in
most cases ii can be made a profitable in
Vestment, as the travelling public demand
something good and is willing to pay for Il.

Dr.. Charles Mccormick, the Chicago ply

crouch cannot resist disease like his more
contented brother, referred again to this
assertion at a recent dinner.

They were discussing that old, old accu-

a secret. The late Mary s. Anthony had
listened attentively to the discussion; then
at last she said:
"A woman can keep an important secret

are slight and harmless ones, such as any
man would reveal Where is the woman

The Diamond Queen section of the
Bulifrog district is far from a dead one,
says the Rhyolite Herald. As work pro
crosses on the various leases the show
ing is all that could be desired. On the
Culver lease a drift has been run 100
feet north from the lower tunnel and !,
large body of iron-stained p "a has
been opened up. Assays were sent out
Monday. Returns have ny. been re-
coived, but the ore looks good and
should run between $50 and 800 a ton.
The find is on the contact between the
white and blue lime and about sixty-fve
feet deep vertically, and promises to
eclipse anything yet opened up on the
property. Culver has one man Stopping
ore from the old workings, and some
$50 sacks are ready for shipment, an |
if the new find assays as it looks, a ship
ment will soon be made.
The %company's double-compartment

LARGE REDUCTION PLANT
PLANNED FOR GOLD CENTER

According to a statement made to the
Rhyoiitc Herald by R. p. Respees, of
New York, there is a strong probability
that a large milling and smelling plant
will be established at Gold Center, five
miles from Rhyolitc.
Mr.. Respees came here at the solicita-
tion of w. D.. Lawton, the promoter OF
Gold Center projects, and represents
large capital of New York, Pittsbul &
and Cleveland. His people have hal
the proposed enterprise under consider
alton for some time, and Mr.. Respees
is now in the field to make final advise
ment concerning same.
'sWhen we are satisfied that there is
plenty of ore in sight to do business,
we stand ready to put in a halt million
dollar mill and smelter at Gold Center, =
said Mr.. Respees. eve will supply the
funds as needed and our plan is to build
a 300-ton plant to start with. l have
been investigating conditions at Gold
Center and find everything just as NJ.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-02-20

Lawton represented. The water and
transportation facilities are ideal, and
while / do not care to risk my W judg-
ment entirely, / am of the opinion that
the properties at Gold Center in which
Mr.. Lawton is interested will be able to
keep a fair-sized mill going without
outside help.
81 will spend a few days in the Bull
frog district and at Goldfield, and re-
turn at once to report to my people in
the east. If everything looks good to
them, l am of the opinion that we VIII
start work without further delay. Our
plan is to take over the water rights of
Mr.. Lawton's company and buy an in
terest in the mine. We will install a
sampler, and bid for the ores of Tono-
pah, Goldfcld and all other points.
"There is no question about the
funds added Mr.. Respees. "When
we know that the country will support
a reduction plant we will build it, be-
ginning with a capacity that the avail
able ore justifes.'
