Gold Circle Is. Great District

That Gold Circle is going to be one of
the greatest camps in the state is the
opinion expressed by james Boyle and
Patrick Ryan, who are spending few
days in Winnemucca Mr.. Boyle is
one of the lucky owners of the Boyle
Weston lease on the Esmeralda prop
erty, while Mr.. Ryan has been making
an examination of the properties in
the district for Goldield capitalists.
The latter was greatly impressed with
the showings on the properties upon
which development work has been done
and declares that Gold Circle is in line
for the production of an immense
tonnage of free milling ore, aside from
the high-grade shoots which have been
opened up in number of the prop
critics.
Mr.. Boyle is well known in Winnie
mucca and his friends will be glad to
known that he has fortune i'll sight in
the lease in which he is interested. The
lease has eleven months to run and is
developed by two tunnels, one 240 and
the other go feet in length. The
owners have already shipped two car
loads of ore, netting them 5000 and
another shipment is ready to be sent
out. This ore will run from 800 to
81, 800 per ton. Besides this they have
on the dumps 300 tons of ore which was
closely sampled and gave returns of $A
per ton. This is the banner lease of the
district, but there are a number of
others which have fine showings, Il
mill being the only thing needed to
make them producers.
\ new townsite named Esmeralda
has been laid out where the leasers on
the Esmcralda group are working. 1t
is situated about three miles from
Midas, the central and principal town
of the district.
Gold Circle district now has Il popu-
lation of about 500. New discoveries
are being constantly made and the
large amount of work going on and the
successful development already accom-
plished give assurance that it will be a
district of permanence and great produc-
ton Humboldt Star.

Courthouse Bonds Sold

Saturday afternoon after the bids for
the courthouse bonds were opened. the
commissioners wrestled with the ques-
ton of which was the highest and best
bid until o'clock and then adjourned
until 8 o'clock this morning
The full board met at 8 o'clock this
morning to resume consideration of the
bids. The proposition had narrowed
down to bids submitted by E. H. Rollins
& Son of San Francisco, which was for
$l06. 500, and she bid of the Henderson
Banking Company of Elko for $1O4, ESQ.
All the bids, except that of the
Henderson Banking Company, con-
tained the provision that the legality of
the bonds must be passed upon by their
attorneys before the bonds would be
accepted by the bidders. That is, if the
attorney held the bonds valid the bidder
would take them, but if the attorney
held the bonds invalid the bidder, of
course, would not take them. The bid
of the Henderson Banking Company was
for legal bonds. This left the question
of the bonds, if such q question arises.
to be determined by the courts, instead
of by an attorney.
This condition weighed with the
commissioners and they unanimously
voted to reject all bids that were sub
ject to the approval of the attorneys
for the bidders. This left the bid of
the Henderson Banking Company tho
only bid before the board and the bonds
were unanimously awarded to it.
When the award was made, Mr..
Spaulding, the representative of Z. h.
Rollins & Son, stated that Elko county
| would lose 1920 by the award. This
| brought John Henderson to his feet
with the statement that Elko county
would not lose cent. That when the
bonds were delivered the Henderson
Banking Company would pay to
the treasure of Elko county
$2220, the difference between the bid of
the bank and that of E. H. Rollins &;
Son, to be placed to the credit of the
courthouse bond fund or the general
fund of the county as the commissioners
might direct. This offer was entered
upon the records of the board.
The commissioners had no inkling
that such an offer would be made when
they accepted the bid of the Henderson
Bank 1t had no influence in the
acceptance of the bid, but it places the
commissioners in n much better light
before the people of the county than
they would have been if the offer had
not been made. They cannot now be
charged with Juggling the county out
of $222O.

His Whole DnfY

1t is not often that one man is called
upon to assume the duties Of an army.
Such case is on record, however. and
is cited in Benjamin Willey's History
of the White Mountains" At the first
legal meeting of the citizens of the lit
tie town of Albany, New Hampshire,
every soldier in the place WAS sum
moned to assemble.
Tho officers were duly chosen, but it
turned out that there was only one pri-
vate. Looking wistfully ut his superb
ors standing in array before him, the
solitary representative of tho ranks
said:
Gentlemen. have only one request
to make; that is. as am the only SOL

YOUNG LAD REscUEs
 GIRLS FROM DEATH

Atlanta. Ga. Dec. 1.-The bravery and presence of mind of 12-year-old Johnnie Green. who. regardless of his own safety. leaped in front of a rap idly moving automobile here yesterday and dragged two little girls almost from under the very wheels of the car. saved them from serious injury If not from death.
 The little girls. about seven years of age. were playing in front of the residence of Mrs. Leila Elder. their mother, when the machine turned in from. side street and rapidly bore down upon them. The driver was ap- parently unable to stop the car and In a few moments more would have struck the children. when the boy. without Q moments hesitation. sprang in front of the machine and seizing one of the little girls under each arm. leaped with them out of the way of danger.
