STORIES OF THE. YULETIDE

The tide of Christmas preparation has
reached its crest The Yuletide spirit has
attained its climax. Only two days-and
then Christmas. Only one short day for
final preparation. Thousands of persons
yesterday rejoiced that they had taken
the advice given from every side to
shop early Thousands of others re-
GREETED that they had failed to take the
wise counsel.
The rain descended steadily all day, but
It did not dampen the YuIetide spirit to
an appreCiable extent. The throngs turn
ed out just the same as if there had been
no precipitation of the elements. With
arms loaded with bundles, men and wom-
en-, young and old, passed along the
streets of the down town section, utterly
oblivious of the fact that it was raining.
The Christmas spirit had too firm grip
upon them for any complaints or utter
ances against the clouds for their copiOus
downpour.
On any other day there would have
been many oaths muttered; the faces OF
pedestrians would have been sour; the
city would would have been pervaded by
an atmosphere of dullness and gloom.
But yesterday, to the contrary, mlrth
was on every hand. There was the light
of happiness on almost every face. They
all realized that Christmas was at hand.
Big Rush To-day.
To-day the big rush will come. The
stores will be open until midnight in
many instances. Throngs will crowd the
streets, regardless of slush, sleet, or sun
shine. The big rush will be evident on
all sides.
The post-office will face the biggest
rush of the year. Thousands of letters,
postal cards, and packages poured into
the office during the night. To-day the
problem will be TO distribute that mail.
Letter carriers will work overtime. En-
plOyes will toll al the pOst-office stations
well into the night. All the mail wagons
and automobiles available will he press

NeVada'S Possibilities

The clerks in the State Engineers
Department are being taxed to their
utmos to keep up with the vast amount
of work that is daily coming into that
office, which is evidence sufficient that
the people Of the country at large are
becoming very much interested in the
agricultural possibilities of Nevada.
This is the last State in the Union
that land investors can look to for large
returns for their investment. A few
years ago the same conditions existed in
Colorado, Idaho. Montana and a number
Of the other Western States. but all the
available lands in those sections have
been taken mp, and SO those looking for
quick aud large returns on their money
have come to Nevada, where the oppor-
t~unities are even more favorable than
they were in the States named.-Car.

GOLD MUD MILL
At WINNEMUCCA
Small Plant Has Been Installed
for Treatment of High
Grade Gold Ores

Winnemucca has installed a small
mill for treating the high-grade ores
from the surrounding mills, Barratt
Springs, the Adamson-T Turner district
and from the other nearby camps which
have been making strikes during the
Winter and Spring. Ore running less
than 81 a pound is said to be too low
grade for this little mill. Along this
line the Nevada Humboldt Star says;
The h~igh-grade mill for the reduction
of the rich ore that is being extracted
at the Adamson-T Turner property has
been installed at the Winnemucca as.
say Office under the supervision of the
metallurgist and manager. L. D. Hub
bard.
The mill is of the pan-arrastra ty pc
and nothing but the very high grade
ore from the property will be handled
BY this plant. The ore is first put
through two small crushers prior to be-
ing run through the pan arrastra.
where the amalgamation takes place.
After this process the anialgam Is re.
torted and reduced to bullion. The
crushing, milling and referring is all
done in a separate air-tight room and
isolated from the regular assaying de.
partment. and none Of the machinery
used in the mill is used in the assay Of.
fee for any other purpose.
The mill was started this afternoon
on the first lot of ore from the won.
derful property on Winnemu,ca noun.
tain. This ore is an exceptional sight.
for the rock 10 fairly alive with gold.
This lot of ore Is perhaps the richest
yet brought to town, and is a beautiful
sight to behold. as many places show
streaks Of almost solid gold from an
inch to three inches in thickness.
With this ore there is a so-called mud
that is SO impregnated with the yellow
metal that q handful of it feels as
heavy as a chunk Of lead. This char
acter Of ore is being taken but each
day at this wonderful property, to-
gether with a large tonnage Of lower
grade ore that will be milled later.
The little mill just now operating at
the assay Office will handle no ore that
assays less than a dollar to the pound.
However, in this first lot that is being
put through to-day there is ore that ia
worth over $500 a pound.
