ELKO'S FIRST SMOKER"

In response to invitations, fifty
or more of the citizens of Elko
gathered at Leonard Hall Satur.
day night to meet Bishop Henry
d. Robinson. The evening was
pleasantly spent in listening "a
brief addresses, svcial conversa-
ton and slowing away the excellent
refreshments furni.hed by the
ladies of the Guild.
Attorney Charles B. Hend
made a brief address of welcome
to which Bishop Robinson replied
in happy vein. In the course of
the Bishops remarks he told of
the influence for good a gathering
of that kind would have on this
community, if it met at stated
intervals and discussed matters of
interest to the people. At such
gatherings. misunderstanding be-
tween citiz ems on public questions
could be cleared away and petty
jealousies dissipated.
His remarks on this point struck
q responsive chord among those
present and it is more than
probable that such an organization
will be formed here after the hot
season is over.
At the conclusion of the Bishops
remarks, Rev. H. E. enrioues
spoke briefly, after which all got
busy with the refreshments.
The gathering was called a
Smoker" and from the number
of cigars that turned into smoke
we think it was rightly named.
About IL o'clock, those present
retired to their homes we'll pleased
with the first Smoker ever held
in Klko.

-FOUR HUNDRED LIVES LOST
DAILY FOR -FOUR YEARS

In his introduction to Campfire
and Battlefield" Rossiter johnson
wrote this opening paragraph
which tells wildly the terrible tale
of slaughter and disease in the
civil war:
If any reader taking up his
morning newspaper. should learn
that on the preceding day some
where in our country a great
calamity had destroyed 400 lives
the news would sadden him all
day. And if tile next day he
should read a repetition of the
story, with some change of
locality, and the next, and the
next. he would surely wish to be
told the cause of al. that destruc-
tlon of life, who was responsible
for it and to what result it was
tending. In the great civil war of
1865 the average destruction of
life was 400 day for the four
years that the contest lasted.
More than 100000. men were
called to the field. The thsater of
conflict covered nearly ZOO, 900,
square miles, and there were 2,4OO
engagements of sufficient import
an"e to have a place in history.

SKELETONS FOUND
THOSE OF INDIANS

No little excitment was caused
the first of this week whom the
report that two skeletons had been
found buried some twelve miles
southwest of town. and from the
fact that about eight years ago a
young man and his wife had
mysteriously disappeared, it was
at first believed that the mystery
had at last been solved.
District Attorney J. A. Callahan
was notified and Wednesday even
ing he came down from Winnie
mucca and in company with
Justice of the Peace B. L. Hood of
Lovelock. left for the scene of the
CHASTITY find yesterday morning.
They returned yesterday afternoon
and reported that they found the
skeletons of two persons, but the
evidence showed that they had
been buried for at least fifty
years. The bones were badly de-
composed and there was neither
hair nor flesh to- determine
whether they were Indians or
white persons. After a careful
examination the conclusion was
arrived at that the skeletons were
those of Indians.
The discovery was made by G..
H. Cunningham of the St. George
Placer Mining company. 1t was
while he was developing his
phosphate mine that the bones
were discovered. On coming to
town Mr.. Cunningham spoke of
the matterin the pr essence of John
T. Ried. Recalling the disappear
ance of the two persons some,
eight years ago, the matter was
taken before the officials and the
investigation followed. The bones
we're found at the foot of high
cliff and they were buried under
at least hve feet of dirt. There
were many tules and pieces of
mating and burlap found in the
grave, and as there are no tules
within several miles of tie spot
where the bodies were found the
belief is further strengthened that
the bodies were those of Indians
as it was the custom of the tribes
in this section at that time to cover
the bodies of those they buried
with the tules.-Lovelock Review

FIGURES GIVEN ON
CARSON RIVER DAM

patch says: The Reclamation
Service gives out the dimensions
and various kindred figures
regarding the Lahontan Dam on
the Carson River just below the
outlet of the main Truckee Canal.
This dam is expected to be one of
the important engineering works
of the west. The engineers have
been engaged in preparing the
plans for several months. A camp
has already been established to
provide for the army of men, and
this camp will be connected with
the Southern Pacific railroad at
Lahontan Station. Several loco
motives are now on the ground to
move freight.
The big dam, says the Reclams-
tion Service Bulletin, will consist
of an earth embankment having
length of 1850 feet, a maximum
height of 1875 feet and a volume
Of about 100000 cubic yards. 1t
will form storage reservoir
having an area Of IL 900 acres and
capacity of 100000 acre-feet.
The embsnkment is to pe 2O-feet
wide on top, With an upstream
slope OF 3 to l. protected by 2
feet of riprap, and a downstream
slope of 2 to l, protected by IL
inches If riprap.
Near the upstream top of the
dam there is cutoff trench Is
feet in depth, having a concrete
wall 2 to feet in thickness
ex tending to an additional depth
of 30 feet. Two concrete spillways
are to be constructed one at each
end OF the emban kment. having
the crest Of IL feet below the top
of the dam. The length of each
spill way is $50 feet and the water
flows down over concrete steps to
a circular pool near the toe of the
dam. This will serve to retard
the velocity Of the water suffici-
nelly to allow its discharge into
the old river bed without danger
of er Jding the soil.
THE outlet work consists of
twin concrete conduits of horse
shoe shape, approximately 8 feet in
diameter. The gates are to be
operated from gate tower at the
upper end of the conduit. The
estimated cost of the dam is ST.
$4,000 and the estimated
quantities are as follows:
Excavation 100000 cubic
yards; embankment and back
filling 7l.300 cubic yards; con.
crete, 60.375 cubic yards; paving
and riprap $4,000 cubic yards
steel 100000 pounds.
