NESHOBE CLUB TO
PICNIC SUNDAY

Next Sunday the members of the
Neshobe club will attend a basket
picnic to be held in Water canyon. M
B. johnson, Albert Seeliger and F C
Krenkel, the committee on arrange
ments, are taking list of names OF
those who will attend, and when com
iplete the contract will be let for trans
portation. The start from town will be
made at 7:30 in the morning, and the
return will depend upon the pleasure of
the majority.
Water canyon, or Cross canyon, as
it is frequently called, with its rugged
scenery, shady hooks and eternal
SHOWS, is an ideal picnic ground, and
has been utilized by citizens Of Win
nemucca for that purpose for many
years. The following article, taken
from the Daily Silver State of June
Is, 1876, illustrates the fact that the
place was known to pleasure seekers
"a years ago:
Requisition was made yesterday on
the several livery stables for transpor-
tation to Cross canyon to attend a
picnic gotten up under the auspices of
Mrs. Thomas Mills and Mrs. Walter
Case. All responded nobly, and a
large crowd left the dust and hustle of
the town and proceeded up Cross
creek to a cool retreat, on the banks Of
the babbling brook, in which speckled
trout sport, where the air was fragrant
with the odors of wild flowers and
the ground was shaded with cotton
wood and balm of Gilead trees, in
in which orioles and linnets caroled
joyfully, the party came to a halt, and
spent the day feasting, fishing, hunting
and sleeping, as best suited the tastes
and inclinations of the various indi-
viduals who composed it. Nothing
occurred to mar the pleasure of the
occasion, except the presence of an un-
invited guest in the shape of large
rattlesnake, which stealthily crawled
upon party of men who were enjoying
a smoke on the bank of the creek. It
is difficult to conceive that within a
few miles of the sandy desert which
skirts the Humboldt there are fields of
waving grain, thick groves of cotton.
wood and other trees, ice cold water
trickling from melting snow banks
and as agreeable place to while away
summers day as may be found any
where; but such is the fact. It is sur
prising that there are not more picnics
and more parties in Cross canyon at
this season. It is not much more than
an hours ride from town.

Simon Reinhart Buys Into Mayflower.
Late yesterday a deed was recorded
wherein John Shaw conveyed to Simon

situated adjoining the famous West
Virginia claim of the National Mining
company
R. M. Edmunds, who came in last
evening, reports that he has started
to sink a shaft on the vein on his
lease, at point 100 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel, and brought in
samples of ore that apparently carry
good values in gold and brittle silver.

According to information received
today, no arrests have thus far been
mad in connection with the daring rob-
berry committed at the property of the
National Mining Company of Nevada
at the camp of National late Friday
night, when two masked bandits held
up three miners in a stope above tun-
mel No. 3La and carried off g. oneh hun
ded pound sack of high grade ore,
valued at $4,000. However, several
suspects are being kept under surveil-
lance by the officers of the law and the
citizens, and arrests are likely to be
made at any time.
The mine robbery, closely following
recent petty thefts from tents, has
thoroughly aroused the citizens of the
district. A concerted effort is being
made to learn the identity of all "bad
men, who will soon be given "float-
ers." The citizens are determined
to nip all lawlessness in the bud and
the presence of undesirable characters
will not be tolerated in the least. The
citizens declare that National is not to
be stopping-place for "bad men -
and like characters and the sooner that
class of undesirables realize this fact
the better it will be for them. 1t is
known that the criminal element in
cludes several "bad men," who for
merly operated in Alaska, and who
have been attracted to National
from the fact that large number
of mining men of the Far North have
become identified with the camp, and
through its widespread reputation as a
producer of extremely rich ore.
New Mill for National Mining Co.
An event of great Importance to the
camp was the arrival in Winnemucca
Sunday morning of the new mill for
the property of the National Mining
Company. Within short time af-
ter its arrival. the plant, which is a
Lane Slow Speed mill, was being load
ed on the immense wagons of Frey s
freighting outfit, under the direction of
Foreman Billie Wilson, whose reputa-
tion as a desert freighter corresponds
with the size of the team he drives
The wagons bearing the entire mill
left town yesterday afternoon and will
arrive at the site of the plant on the
famous property by the end of the
week. President John f. Pelton ex-

NEVADA WILL BE WE'LL
REPRESENTED AT CONGRESS
Especial to Silver Stato.l

PUEBLO, Colo, June 14s-Governor
Dickerson, Of Nevada, is one Of the
western governors now giving great
deal of attention to matters pertaining
to the success of the Eighteenth Ma
tional Irrigation congress, Pueblo, Sep
tember 26 to 80.
The headquarters Of the congress has
had extensive correspondence with
Governor Dickerson, as with other
governors, and has recently obtained
from him a lengthy list Of names Of
prominent irrigators, agriculturists and
men interested in development work
from every portion of the state. This
list is very useful to the board Of CON.
troll here in getting into active touch
with these individuals and presenting
to them some of the work that is being
done in the way of preparation for the
largest and most successful OF all the
sessions of the great irrigation con-
gress yet held.
The governor, his secretary, Mr.
Finch, who has also been active IN Ms
and the citizens
throughout the state with whom the
headquarters of the congress has come
in touch, all speak of the great devei-
opment work that is on in Nevada.
Much of this. of course, is directly
traceable to the reclamation act, in the
massage of which a Nevada man,
former president Of the National Irr1-
CATION congress, Senator Francis M.
Newlands, had so much to do. The fact
that this act was fostered and pushed
by the National Irrigation congress un-
til it was finally successful is point
that does not seem to have been over
looked any more in Nevada than else
where in the west. Hence the feeling
toward the Eighteenth National Irriga'
ton congress, from letters received, 10
most gratifying.
Governor Dickerson is the honorary
vice-president of the congress for Ne
vada, and w, c Pitt, Of Lovelock, Is
the member of the executive commit
tee. Secretary Arthur Hooker, OF the
national organization, is in active
touch with these men.
II looks like Nevada would have its
customary good representation at the
congress in Pueblo.

Plan THE
BIGGEST
SKYSCRAPER
To be erected on Greenough
Property on Washing
ton Street.

Although those most interested
do not care to discuss the matter
at present, It has been learned
from perfectly reliable sources that
the biggest skyscraper In the
northwest is being planned for Spo.
kane, to Re erected within the next
year or two.
The probable site Is the Thomas
L. Greenough property, bounded by
Sprague, Washington and First.
Thomas l.. Greenough. the wealthy
mineowner, is the man behind the
deal.
1t was stated that one of the rea-
sons why the Greenough site was
withdrawn from consideration for
the new city hall site was because
citizens thought the skyscraper in
that locality would be of more
value to the city than the munich
pal building. The idea is to erect
q building somewhere between 16
and 20 stories high. occupying half
block. 1t promises to be reality

DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR
FIRST SHAVE? LISTEN TO THIS!

Mr.. Man, do you remember the
first time you got shaved in bar
ber shop? Didn't you feel pretty
chesty when you walked into the
tonisorial parlor the first time and
seating yourself In the chair, said,
with an nonchalent an air as you
could summon and loud enough SO
that everyone present could hear
1t, 'I'll have a shave? OF course
you did.
Two young fellows came into a
downtown shop Saturday evening.
They had to wait for some time. as
the chairs were full, but finally
their turn came, and It happened
that two chairs were available at
about the same time.
"What'll you have?' asked the
BARRIERS AZ soon as the boys were
seated. "A shave" answered both
promptly. Taking look at the
sparse Il crow of down with which
the youthful faces were decorated
the tonsorial artists exchanged
knQYing winks.
Ever shaved before?'' asked one
OF them. NO" answered the boy
as his face began to assume a rosy
hue. How old are your" was the
next question. Sixteen" said the
boy, as his face got still redder.
The BARRIERS said no more, but
proceeded to hone and strop theil
raxors as carefully as though they
