Owing to the fact that the entertainments given
by the Library Board for the present have not
been financial success the Library Board has pro-
cured an extra number to be given the evening OF
February 22nd hoping that the proceeds derived from
same will in great measure assist them IN making up
the present deficit Montavile Flowers is the attrac-
ton procured for this purpose ana the Lecture Bureau
has the following to say in regard to Mr.. Flowers:
Gin the career of every who wins
public recognition, there comes time when
general interest and value attaches to his
work. MontavIle Flowers has reached that
point. He is no longer experiment. lie
is one of the finest products of the Lyceum,
and destined to remain OF its prominent
figures. The solid, worthy foundation upon
which his success is built is broadly ac=
knowedged as that success itself, which is
universal MontaviIIe Flowers is engaged in
portraying the great drama of human life, as
embodied by the finest geniuses OF the race
in novels and plays. II may be said nothing
trivial enters into his work. and yet every line
of it is of popular interest. All who have
heard him exclaim that the man and the occu"
patton are an exact fit. You would not call
his work lecture, yet you get all the critic
csrn and elucidation of lecture out OF 1t;
nor reading, though you hear the exact
words of the author greatly read; nor is it
acting alone, though the characters live and
move before you, while you forget the man
himself. But it is all these arts made into
new art and brought into perfection. Each
program is as distinct and individual as the
original master made it, and each recital
masterpiece"
The price Of admission will be 35c for reserved
seats and Csc for general admission, and the Library
Board trusts that the people of Ladysmlth Will assist
them in making this entertainment success.
Seats will be on sale at Dmock's Drug Store on
Monday morning February 2lst, at o'clock.

On his property at Gold Basin,
Mr.. Kolb reports that he has had
assays from SIS to $50 and on the
prophyry which can be found in

DOUBLE TRACKING S. P.
WEST slope OF SIERRAS

An interesting piece of work is
being pushed by the Southern
Pacific on the western slope of the
Sierra Nevada range, where the
line drops down to the valley of
the Sacramento. This is the build
ing of a second track from Rocklin
to Colfax, distance of thirty-two
miles. The second track will have
a maximum grade of IL per cent,
as against grade of 2.2 per cent
on the old line. The new track
therefore, will be used for east
bound trains and while serving in
the usual manner of double track,
the grade: for the pull up the hill
from the valley will be consider
ably reduced. The old line will be
changed somewhat where the
second grade interferes with it.,
and while the work is going reduc-
tons in curvature will be made in
the. old line so that the whole will
mean vast improvement for that
section of the country.

BANK PAYS IN FULL

The bank of Manhattan closed
its doors the first of the week and
Cashier Van Harrington has about
got the affairs of the institution
settled up. The bank, which was
one of chain of: banks controlled
by the Smiths, closed voluntarily
and paid up dollar for dollar, the
reason for closing being given as
lack of patronage. During the
financial panic of 19O7-19O8 the
Bank of Manhattan gained distinc-
ton as one of the few that re-
manned open in the state. 1t is

Pacific from Ogden through Ne
vada, covering several hundred
miles of work and involving a
heavy outlay on the part of the
Hartman road. The work was
started the first part of tie week
and will not be finished for several
months. This is virtually the first
move in the double tracking of the

later will be merged into one

JARBlDGE TO Be
CENTER OF BIG
MINING BOOM

| ''J SSoAo SAperlSHce III SOutn
Africa and Granda, Spain, where
he was representative of Baron
Krupp, of Essen, came to Reno
Wednesday to confer with H. H.
Hunter of this city, concerning
mining properties in the Jarbidge
and Gold Basin district.
Mr.. Kolb reports that in his
opinion the camp will prove fully
equal to Glodfeld when developed
and by August he expects the dis
trict to be the center of mining
activity not seen for years in this
state.
He gave interesting. details con-
cerning--the facilities for entering
the district .and states that the
Elko route is the best of all means
of approach.
Contrary to a report recently
circulated, he states that travel to
the district is increasing and that
an average of 40 outfits a day are
moving into camp.
Mr. Kolb recently QUILTED with
$1,000 worth of provisions and min
ing needs at Elko and made the
trip with a four-horse team to
his claims in Gold Basin, and states
that the road is in fairly good con-
dition and will be excellent for
travel by June. when some of the
muddy places dry up around Sun
flower fiat.
THE best way to go is from
Elko,' said Mr.. Kolb. 1.-THE roads
are better and the accommodations
are far superior. In Elko provi-
sions may be had to equal advant-
age with any other place in the
state or in Sacramento, and on the
way out, nearly every 20 miles
there are places to rest and sleep
and the meals are good at a very
moderate price. Meals are so
cents and feed and care for a team
costs only SO cents night.
Zone travels from Elko to North
Fork and there to Gold Creek by
easy stages. At Gold Creek there
is hotel as large as the McKissick
here, which cost $8O,OOO,. and
offers the best accommodations at
a reasonable price. A townsite
has been laid out there and good
city will undoubtedly spring up.
From Gold Creek it is % miles
to Rowland ellis. where there is
considerable snow on the trail.
Thence to Jarbidge it is 8 miles
and the snow and water makes the
trail pretty difficult.
Travel up to date has been
mostly from the north from Idaho.
l estimated that three come from
Idaho to one from Nevada. The
road from the north is not as good
as from Elko and the cost of ac-
commodations is far greater. /

WILL ERECT MONUMENT
TO MEMORY OF
BONNER PARTY

bers of the Native Sons of the
Golden West will meet at Truckee
and Lake Tahoe and remain in ses-
sion for four days. .. 49,
The occasion will be the grand
parlor of the state, which was Sc
cured by the Bonner Parlor No.
1872 of Truckee, in spite of OPP
position from nearly every point
in California.
On June 9Th and 7th the con-
vention will visit Lake Tahoe. June
8, 9, and 10 the party will return to
Trukee to complete the session and
participate in the dedication of a
statue commemorative of the i'll
fated Bonner party. The statue
will be dedicated on June 10th.
The story of the Bonner party,
whose name has been given to Don
ner Lake, near Truckee, has been
told in history of Nevada and is
known to most of the older inhabit-
ants of the state.
1t was recently recalled by
Robert j. Fulton in an article con-
corning some historic winters in
the west. The details are again
printed:
The great tragedy of the Sierra
was the loss in 1916 and AT, by
starvation of 81 persons, members
of the Bonner party, which had
bad luck from the start.
Taking new cutoff in what is
now Wyoming they struck so hard
a country that they had to retrace
their steps to Salt Lake and were
delayed the whole month of
August. Before they reached the
head of the Humboldt they had lost
many cattle and some of their
number had died.
The Indians stole FL head of the
cattle at the head of Humboldt
lake, and their suffering was so
great that two of the weakest of
the party were left to die on the
road while the rest hurried on in
the hope of finding relief.
At Truckee Meadows, near Glen
dale, stop of four days to rest the
animals turned bad luck into dis
aster. About the middle of Octo-
Der, 1916, the hungry little army
started up the Truckee River,
every day the weather becoming
more threatening. On the 26th it
began to storm and on the 18th
they were at Alder Creek in eight
inches of sonw. The party divided
here, part of them crossing the
ridge and reaching "Turckee
Lake." as it was then called, and
later changed to Bonner Lake, al
though neither George nor Jim
Bonner ever got so far alive.
EFor some time the snow fell deep
and the cold became in .ense.
Everything capable of being soft
ened by fire and water was turned
into food, after the supplies ran
out, and shoes, dry hides and
finally the flesh of those who first
succumbed, went to save from
absolute starvation, AZ of the 81.
