Nixon opera house, May Robson win
be seen in her great success, "The Re-
juvenation of Aunt Mary" Miss
Robson has played this delightful
comedy for the past two seasons from
coast to coast. In this quaint role
of Aunt Mary Miss Robson has a part
that is fitted to her like q glove, Her
expressions of the yearning tenderness
of the childless old lady rise at times
to height that is almost tragic. The
play is full of bright comedy lines,
novel situations and that wholesome
sweetness that appeals to everyone.
"The Regeneration Of Aunt Mary"
tells the story Of rich old maiden who
had love story of her own, but whose
heart is bound up in nephew in col
lege, who is little wild, but not more
so than the average young man. He
is unfortunate enough, however, to get
involved in a number of scrapes. one
of which is breach of promise case,
in which the nephew is really not to
blame. The exposure causes the aunt
to disinherit him. and he hurries of
to New York, where he falls in love
with beautiful girl. and where final.
ly the aunt follows him. She is treat
ed to dinner by the nephew's college
ehums, and whirled about town in an
automobile and introduced to the roof
gardens and other popular places. The
sport completely wins her from her
country life, and reconciles her to the
marriage of her nephew to his sweet
heart. The piece is elaborately and
artistically staged.

r. R. BONDS TO
BE HELD in TRUST

1t is reported that the Paradise Val
ley railroad is being backed by large
banking concern in Salt Lake City,
which is to act as trustee for the
bonds, also that big construction COM
pany will handle the entire line as soon
as the required amount of subscriptions
have been subscribed from the citizens
of Paradise Valley. This main con
struction company will sublet a great
deal of the line to smaller contractors
and this will allow many of the small
farmers in the valley to pay for their
bonds by doing grading.
The Silver State wishes to say that
this line, when built, will be one of
the best feeders for the two railroads
here at Winnemucca that can be found
along the entire route of the Southern
and Western Pacific railroads.
Much credit is due to Messrs. r. f.
Tilden and j. G. Jacobs for the great
interest they have taken in working
uP thc puiiuihS VI tIiS iluc, do tHcy
have been busy ever since Mr.. Tilden
arrived in the town of Winnemucca.
1t is also understood that large beet
sugar factory is to be built in the
Quinn river valley, and the residents
of that section want the railroad and
are willing to come forward and help
the enterprise, and it is now up to the
people of Paradise Valley to do their
share, as from the tonnage this road
will get after the first two years il
should make one of the best paying en-.
terprises in the state in the way OF
railroads.
The camp of National is rapidly com
u ing to the front, and this camp as well
as the large valleys adjoining the
Quinn river valley will all afford a
great tonnage to be hauled, as it will
be the nearest railroad to haul to.
This road will undoubtedly be of
great help to the building up of this
town, as all the trade for hundreds of
miles north of here will be brought
Winnemucca, and this road will be the
making Of the Paradise and Quinn riv
er valleys.

PROMINENT men
VISIT NATIONAL

John e. Pelton, president and gener-
al manager Of the National Mining
Company of Nevada, returned from
National Thursday evening, accom-
panied by Mrs. Pelton, and left the
same evening for Reno. The visit to
the camp was cut short by the illness
of Mrs. Pelton, who was taken down
with lagrippe, which necessitated the
return to Reno.
Mr.. Pelton returned to Winnemucca
this morning on No. 4, and was met
here by 8. c. Scotten and J. d. Sny-
dacker, Of Chicago, directors Of the Ma
tional company, who arrived from the
east during the night. As there were
more passengers for National that the
company's auto could accommodate,
Ed Smith, who had made an early
start for the camp, was intercepted at
Toulouse by telephone, and returned
and took out L. G. Campbell, vice.
president of The company, and G. w.
Buckley, a prominent Chicago stock
broker, who recently, it is understood,
became a heavy stockholder in the
company. Later in the morning
Messrs. Pelton. Scotten and Snydacker
left for camp in the company's auto.

LARGE GATHERING
AT MAYDAY FETE

The Mayday fete Of Thursday after
noon takes one back to the school days
when the "Little Red Schoolhouse
was the great temple of learning and
we danced around the Maypole with
the prettiest and happiest girls in the
world. How many pleasant recollec-
tions it brings to mind, away back in
the sunshining days of life, and how
different we found life as we came to it
from what so many of us anticipated.
But with its ups and downs and many
disappointments, we look back and see
more plainly the bright spots than we
do the dark ones and the songs and
games of our childhood days are men,
ories that never leave us. When we
meet from time to time,a as we slip along
from one of life's mileposts to another,
on the great highway of huraan events,
some. of our old boy and girl acquaint-
ances and talk over old times, the con-
versation is sure to drift to "Remem-
ber when we took so and so to singin
school," or "when we slid down hill
in the old Morris lot, or "when you
kissed Kitty Jones the night we went
home from the party or "our part
ners at the Plating of the May
pole, as our English cousins have it,
and among whom the custom origi-
mated.
The principal feature of the occas
ion was the crowning of the May
Queen. Miss Jessie Nickerson was
Queen of the May and received the
homage from the participants in the
festivities due one of her exalted rank.
At the close of the several games by
the different grades, there was char
lot race, the teams being flower-be-
decked little girls, driven by little
boys. As the children grow older they
will no doubt find that the game has
been reversed. and that the young
ladies will act in the capacity of
drivers.
The winding of the Maypole was ac-
complished in graceful manner by the
girls of the grammar grades.
The weather was ideal and the ex-
ercises were witnessed by large
gathering, who expressed their appre-
citation by frequent and generous ap-
plause.

|ALL EYES NOW C[NTFRFD
ON CAMP Of RED BUTTE
Opening Of Season Marked by Great AtiNtyMdy Promising
Properties Bonded by Outside Capitalists

Fifty miles west Of Winnemucca, in
the Jackson range, is located Red
Butte, a prosperous mining camp, COM
posed of earnest, enterprising men and
women of high character and ability
who are laying the foundation for
future development work on a scale
that will soon command interest and
attention. Red Butte is only IL miles
from the Western Pacific at Antelope,
with grade requiring neither cuts or
fills to lay the rails from Antelops to
the base of the mountain.
National is a high grade gold camp
and is unique for it's great amount of
very high grade ore. Red Butte is
unique in possessing several of the
highest commercial ores in great guam
titles, carrying values far above the
average-gold carrying FIVE and six
ounces to the ton; copper of four to
fifteen per cent; silver carrying 500
ounces and 80 per cent lead antimony
so rich that one is green with envy un-
til he gets an option on it. These
figures are not "hand samples" but
there is ore of the same kind by the
carloads and thousands of tons. One
thousand tons of these mixed ores per
day could be supplied to smelter at
once, without the least effort, and for
months no ore less than $40 in value
need be sent to the smelter.
Two representatives of one of the
largest mining trusts in the world were
in the camp ten days ago securing op-
tions. They were enthusiastic over
what they saw and declared that for
real values and great quantity Red
Butte is the richest camp in all Neva-
da, and their opinion was backed by
taking options on some of the best
claims in the camp.
Red Butte will ship but little if any
ore. They want a smelter and they
will get it very soon. Refined bull
lion is the only thing to ship from such
a camp. That means that the fortunate
owners of Red Butte will enjoy some
of the net profits of their camp. They
will retain some of the millions that 90
to enrich the outsider. It means that
more money will remain and be spent
at home in place of being drained out
of Nevada for the enrichment of few
and the glory of supporting tottering
halls of the ancient nobility of Europe
A. ID. Ramel, one of the pioneers of
Red Butte, is the owner of many valu
able properties. Last week he gave c.
A. Green, of the Bloody Canyon Anti
mony company, an option on two fine
claims of antimony. He also gave Ely
parties an option on his gold mines
some of which pan at the rate of 81
ounces free gold per ton.

DAVID Payne is in receipt of adviees
to the effect that y. ]. Ogden, presi-
dent Of the Northrn Copper company
whose extensive properties are located
in Sonoma canyon. died last week while
en- route from Philadelphia to Winnie

pose of raising money with which to
develop the mines, on which errand he
was entirely successful but his death
