dusky maiden. Lillian Thomas by name,
applied at the clerks office Saturday
for license to wed the object of his

her to change her tepee, which will be
done this week.
This is the first instance ia this coun-
ty of Piute applying for regulation

Work Progresses on Nevada Hills
Mill.

The Nevada Hills mill is coming
along nicely. The steel frame for the
building is now completed except on
the lower bench or level. The con-
crete work is practically completed,
and the machinery is being put in place
in the finished parts of the building.
The riveting together of the great
steel beams is being done with the aid
of compressed air hammers, which
derive their supply of power from the
big air compressor at the mine.
The new shaft has reached depth
of 275 feet, and work is being pushed
steadily. Two shifts of five men each
are employed. A station is to be cut
when the shaft reaches the 800 level.
At the old workings they are
breaking down ore on the 300 and 700
levels. None of this rock is being
hoisted out, it being stored in the
mine, ready to be hoisted out when the
mill is finished. Machine drills are
used on both levels.
The substation for the electric power
line is rapidly nearing completion.

THE BIG F. 0. E. BARBECUE
Everything Is Now Complete
For Fallon's Biggest Gala
Day.

Unless all signs fail, next Saturday
Will be the biggest gala day in the his
tory of Fallon. People will be here
from everywhere and the citizens of
this town will be called upon to act as
hosts to throng that will be COM
bining pleasure with prospective busi-
ness, people who will come hither to
view the towns widely heralded de-
velopment, while still others will come
In great numbers to be feted and enjoy
the hospitality of the local lodge of
Eagles, to whose public spirit and
ability to do things we are indebted for
the celebration. The day will be one
big gala period; chock full of action
from sun to sun and when Saturday
night supereedes the day the good cheer
and hospitality will continue undated
until tired legs and sleepy eyes drive
the threng homeward.
Various members Of the Eagles COM
mittees, in charge of the event, return
ing from Reno say that interest in the
barbecue is widespread in the state
metropolis and that a record break ing
crowd will be in attendance from that
point. Many are coming from other
parts of the state, and Fallon's hotel
accommodation will doubtless be taxed
to their greatest capacity next Satur-
day. Any who may have rooms avsila-
bic for rent Saturday and Sunday should
communicate with George Sherman, at
the Overland hotel.

papers to take fall out of the Publici-
ty Commission which goes out of ex-
istance on June 1st. abolished by the
last Legislature. We have been par
ticularly unfortunate in having the
general antagonism of high state
officials who seem to fear that we
might, if permitted, make success
out of it.
Although the law is very plain that
the state should furnish US with certain
supplies designated in the bill, and for
which special appropriation was made,
we have been obliged to buy our own
furniture and supplies and part of the
time we paid for our postage stamps,
printing and stationery.
III closing | will call attention to
another trip | made east in the interest
of the state. 1t came about through
correspondence l had with the Diamond
Company, of Akron, Ohio. At the
present time the worlds rubber supply
is growing short and the price of rub
ber has materially advanced during the
last few years. Rubber manufacturers
are securing the world for plants other
than the rabber tree of South America.
| was asked to search Nevada for such
a plant. l was able to locate it with
out the aid of an auto, mainly through
the assistance of Mr.. Otto Werner.
Last month sent consignment of the
roots of the plant to the Diamond Rub
Der Company at Akron, Ohio, and few
days ago received their report that the
same contained 55qt rubber.
This plant grows in great abundance
throughout Nevada and | can safely
say from experiments made by Mr..
Werner, Paris Ellis and myself that
about 35 pounds of crude rubber can be
gathered from an acre of ground. At
the present price of rubber one can
easily say that this will appreciate the
value of Nevada land several millions
of dollars. My trip to Akron, last
spring, in connection with this matter,
did not cost the state dollar.
| desire with this communication to
state that l do not agree with you on
your criticism of the present Publicity
Commission. The purchase of an auto
mobile to gather information regarding
the resources of Nevada is wise and
economic move. Many parts of the
state will have to be visited which are
beyond the reach of railroad. The
auto will save great deal of money to
the state and enable the Commission to
cover territory not easily reached with
out one.
If we are to have Publicity Com
mission, make it up to date like other
states and give it plenty of money to
advertise Nevada. The more money it
has the better it can do its work, and
the returns will fully justify it.
The old Publicity Commission made
very poor showing because it had no
tools or money to work with. Still, l
feel justified in saying that we sue
ceeded in bringing over four million
dollars capital into Nevada, and | be-
lieve that had we been allowed proper
aid from the state we would have made
better showing. Back up the new
commission and don't fight it and it will
do even better than this; but whatever
you do give it chance.
Respectfully,
SAM DAVIS
Chairman.

Well Known Nevadan Passes Away.

Thos. w. Norcross, one of the early
pioneers of the Pacific coast and of Ne
vada, died early Sunday morning at
Carson, at the home of his sons, Judge
Frank H. Norcross, of the supreme
court, and Commissioner G. A. Nor
cross, at the adv anced age of S3 years.
Mr.. Norcross was born near Bangor,
Me-, Oct. 10, 1873. In July, 1850, he
landed in San Francisco, via the 18TH
mus of Panama, and for time he en-
gagged in mining with varying success,
but after two years in the placer dig
gings returned to the business of lunl-
bering.
Until 1861 he ran sawmils at Sacra-
mento, Coos Bay and San Francisco,
then came to Nevada and for time
ran sawmill at Galena, in Washoe
county, and later with C. H. Eastman
built a sawmill at Glendale, the logs
for which were driven down the Truck
ee river.
Between 1868 and 1880 he engaged in
ranching on the Truckee meadows, was
at one time president of the State Ag-
ricultural society, and organized far
mers' cooperative store, situated in
the building now occupied by the Gold
en- jewelry store in Reno.
Most of the last thirty years has been
spent by him IN Oregon and Idaho with
his eldest son. Four years ago he re-
turned to Nevada and has since resided
with one or the other of his two sons in
Carson. He was married twice, his
first wife dying in Sacramento in 1852.
By her he had two sons and two daugh-
ters, three of whom are still living. In
1865 he married Mrs. Caroline Peckham,
by whom be had the two sons now liv-
ing in this state.
Interment was made at the Masonic
cemetery in Reno yesterday.

The constitutionality of the banking
law passed by the last legislature was
under fire yesterday in the Supreme
Court. The matter being heard was
the mandamus proceedings of the Bank
Examiner against Frank Wildes as re-
ceiver of the State Bank. The matter
was argued by Attorneys Mack and
Green for the Receiver and the Attor-
ney-General and his deputy, Attorney
Judge. The matter took up the greater
part of the day and was thoroughly
gone into in every phase. 1t is not
probable that decision will be handed
down in the matter for at least month
as it will necessitate large amount of
study and the looking up of countless
authorities by the members of the Su-
preme Court.-Carson News of May IL.
