DUSTY MARY" is AT
PRESENT BEING REPAIRED

A couple of weeks ago AL Marshall
towed into town a dilapidated look
Schurz. Upon investigation this
junk pile of machinery was found
to be what was left of old Dusty
Mary" a big Thomas that was one
of the special desert machines built
to run from Sodaville to Tonopah
in the early days of those camps,
before the railroad reached them,
later oil between Tonopah and Gold
field, and still later on between
Schurz and Rawhide. The machine
was a big, powerful one, and in her
prime negotiated the desert hills and
sandy plains as no other machine
could, except her mate. 1t is said
that she has travelled over $4,000
miles on the desert highway. She
met with number of accidents. as
all machines do. but it was not
until she tried to jump a washout
about 20 feet deep that she received
injuries that put her out of COM
mission. This accident did not in,
jure any of the passengers she
was carrying, but it broke the frame
of the machine, and it has been
out Of service since. Mr.. Marshall
purchased the wreck for a song and
he now has the old girl almost
ready to go on the road again. Her
engines are the largest of any ma
chine in the state and they are as
fine today as when they We're first
put in the car. When fully repaired
the machine will probably be put on
a run between Wabuska and Yer
ington. -Yerington Times.

WONDER SOON TO
HAVE A DOCTOR
INCREASED POPULATION MAKES
1T IMPERATIVE THAT A ply
SICIAN Is NEEDED.

Wonder hasn't needed a doctor for
several years. During boom days
we had four or five, and by charg-
ing like the devil for their services
they managed to keep up with the
procession. When people began de-
sorting the camp the medicine men
followed until but one remained.
There were but a handful of people
left, and they were so shamefully
healthy that the one faithful pur-
veyor Of bad tasting mixtures had to
give up the struggle and go to a
place where the air is not so pure
and the water not so wholesome
For more than year we have been
doctorless, and didn't mind it a
speck. With the increased popula-
ton consequent upon the resumption
of mining operations the necessity
Tor some one to take our temper
ature and look at our tongues be-
came apparent.
The recent series of minor acct
dents made it more so, and the
matter of capturing live saw
bones became a live topic for dis
cussion. 1t was finally taken IN
by the heads of the mining com
panies operating here, and an effort
Will be made to induce physician
to come in and hang up his single.
With about hundred men work
ing in and about the mines and
mill, and more being added, it will
be miraculous if some one is not
dangerously hurt now and then, and
with the telephone line not work
ing, as sometimes happens, and the
automobiles out of commission. we
might have to stand idly by and
see a man die for want of proper
attention.-W Wonder News.

valve wearing out and requiring con-
slant repairing, but this has been
overcome by substituting a rubber
ball for the steel one, and now
the pump is discharging like fire

The first bullion bars to be run
in the district were made yesterday.
and the size Of the cleanup is most
satisfactory. 1t is too early to get
the return in dollars and cents.
The large amount of solutions nee
essary to supply the mill, all of
which carry gold and silver. which
had to be supplied from the ore,
has reduced the cleanup somewhat,
but now that the solutions are all
imprsgnated, in future the amount,
estimated at something between
100000 and $4,000. will be re-
covered regularly.
This metal in the solutions will
remain in the mill until the final
shutdown, either when the mine is
worked ont or the mill is worn out.
when it will all be recovered. From
all indications it will be many years
before this happens, for the mine is
Just beginning to be developed, and
those acquainted with the property
all agree that it is one of the big
gest mining propositions in America.
