Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Gruber were in
troduced and soon they were being
whirled up town. The autos all passed
the high school grounds and later left
the gentlemen at different houses. These
were not mining experts, capitalists,
farmers nor merchants, yet their coming
means much to our city. They came
from all the important towns i'll Nevada
and Eastern California. To these towns
they will return and many questions will
be asked them concerning Mason Valley

ministers receive many letters of inquiry
concerning the cities and country in
which they are located. Their replies
have weight not given others, because
they are not supposed to have personal
or financial interests to bias their Judg-
ment. Hence, the business appearance
and cleanliness of our streets we're not
