WIRELESS FOR MINING CAMPS

A. G. Raycraft, president of the
Dexter company, arrived in camp
on Wednesday and is stopping at
his quarters in the Dexter building.
While in Manhattan this time Mr..
Raycraft will perfect the install
lation of the apparatusfor his wire
less telegraph station, and it is
likely that in a very short time
messages will be flashing between
here and the station at Tonopah.
At the latter camp the instruments
have been installed and the staff
erected, and messages sent out with
the hope of getting in communica-
tion with some of the wireless
stations on the coast. At Tonopah
Mr.. Raycraft encountered con-
siderable trouble with an arc at
the sub-station of the power COM
pany, near his home, and it is
believed that the dispatches we're
arrested there. After an investi-
CATION is made and this proves to
be the case, the Tonopah station will
be removed to some remote part of
the town. In Manhattan the ap-
paratus and staff have been in
place for several months, but no
messages were dispatched, as the
station at Tonopah was not in
readiness to receive messages.
Mr.. Raycraft believes that his
instruments are capable of trans
mitting messages to the coast, a
distance of 500 miles, and states
that messages sent from the coast
can be picked up here. The local
Office of the wireless is in the
Dexter building on the second floor.
Mr.. Raycraft is an old-time
telegrapher and is quite handy with
the kys. Manhattan Mail.

ELKO kept THE BACON

The third game of baseball be-
tween the Ely and Elko high school
teams was the closest and best of
the series. They ran neck and
neck up to the last inning when the
Elko boys forged ahead and won by
the score Of 10 to 13.
The Ely boys made a rough
house at the Commercial hotel

behind them with the hotel people.
Their conduct is said to have been

WARMEST DAY
SINCE LAST ONE

Last Monday and Tuesday, May
80 and 81, came within one degree
of being among the hottest days
ever recorded by the government
thermometer in Las Vegas at any
time of the year. The maximum
temperat ure on both days was ia
degrees, Is degrees higher than on
the same days of last year, accord
ing to Agent j. M. Heaton, official
score keeper. The highest tempera-
ture recorded here since the govern
ment thermometer was installed is
lis degrees; which has been
reached several times in mid
summer.
From Reno comes the news that
Monday was the hottest day ex-
perienced in that vicinity in eleven
years. The heat wave seemed to
spread over most of Nevada, but
on the coast and to the east, the
temperature appears to have re-
manned normal.

AUTOMOBILE DRIVE FINED

Friday night D. C. Cadagan was
taking a ride with "Frenchy" in
the red autimobilel. He relieved
"Frenchy" at the wheel and drove
he machine at a furious rate up
and down Third street, barely mis-
ing one of Mr.. Higginbotham's
children. He paid no attention
to Mr.. Higginbotham's protest and
continued his wild driving. The
result was Constable Oudrekirk was
put on the trail of the two men and
Cadagan was arrested for violating
the speed limit of the ordinance.
A complaint was sworn to by Mr..
Higginb otham and Judge Morgan
fixed Cadag gan's bail at $1,000. He
thought from this that the judge
meant business and concluded to
plead guilty. He wanted to know If
the sentence could not be suspended
during good behavior and Judge
Morgan informed him that he
would suspend sentence just long
enough for him to dig up the fine.
After some consultation Cadagan
plead guilty and was fined $50,
which he paid. If he violates the
ordinance again, he should get the
limit, $3.50
The sooner automobile drivers
learn that the public has rights they
must not trample on the less fines
they will have to pay. The ordi.
nance was passed for the protection
of the public and we hope it will be
strictly enforced.

SCHOOL CONVENTION

Elko is to have the next annual
state Sunday-scool convention which
meets in April. 1911. At the meet
ing of the Executive Committee,
held in Reno, on Monday evening it

school convention has been held in
the eastern part of the state.
Ralph w. Nelson, State SUNDAY
school secretary. writes the follow
ing: We feel sure that this con-
vention is going to be a great sue
cess, and can assure you of the
help and cooperation of all the
officers of the Association. The
executive committee feels that on
effort ought to be spared to make
this the best convention that has
vever been held in the state.
Rev. p. S. Smith was appointed
a committee of one to confer with
Sundray-schol workers in the west
ern part of the state. as to the best
time of holding the convention, and
he will meet with all who can come
in Elko, on Wednesday evening,
June 8. We hope that as many as
possible vii be able to meet him on
that day.

BANK RECEIVER Is
SUING DIRECTORS

The trial of one of the most
interesting and important law suits
in the history of the state was
begun this in the district court at
Carson City before Judge Langan.
The action was brought by Frank
Wildes, receiver of the State Bank
and Trust company. against the
directors of the defunct institution.
Messrs. T. B. Hickey, C. T. Bender,
George Mapes, j. P. Woodbury.,
George Meyers, DIR. S. L. Lee, p.
H. Peterson and Wilson Brougher.
Receiver Wildes asked for an &C.
counting for about $1,000, 900 of
the assets of the bank, the loss of
which is alleged to have caused the
suspension of the institution.
The complaint filed by Receiver
Wildes charges the directors with
both misfeasance and malfeasance
in office, charging specifically
violations of the bylaws of the
corporation and of the banking laws
of the state, also trading in accounts
an irregular transfers of securities,
making loans in careless and un
business like fashion and the erection
of 100000 banking building in
