When Fred Winters departed fol
Cuba with his regiment the know-it
alls in society said there was an en-
gagement between him and Ruth Burt
and that when the war was over and
the lieutenant cane marching back
again there was TO be a wedding.
By and by there came strange ru
mors from the front. In no case could
they be traced to fountain head, but
those who held them in greatest con-
tempt had a haIf-belief just the same.
Some one was giving out and repeat.
ing that Fred Winters had shown COW.
ardice in the face of the enemy. The
newspapers didn't have it. but letters
came back affirming and denying it.
IT'S lie, and know it," exclaimed
Miss Ruth's only brother. who had
reached his sixteenth birthday. Its
the work of some Of his jealous rivals. "
81 do not know a gentleman that
would stoop to anything Of the sort, "
replied the sister.
We'll, some one has been STOPPING.
Have you written to Fred what is be.
ing said about him."
"Of course not. Indeed, I am not
writing to him at ALL"
"Just like girl to condemn q Teller
unheard! Hang 1t. Ill write him my.
self"
You'll do nothing of the kind. / can
manage my own affairs"
Go on. then. but Id give my pony
to find out the liar"
I'VE shall know all about It when
the soldiers return"
Yes. and Ill challenge and fight the
man that first set the rumor afloat!"
And the youth pulled out his chest
and walked to and fro In the long
parlors and tried to look determined
and ferocious.
When Miss Ruth's letters ceased to
put in an appearance. Mr.. Winters was
on his dignity at once. There was some
good reason. but was 1t for him to beg
it? He had written last, and now he
must wait At the front there were no
rumOrs of cOwardice. 1t was the other
way. Lieutenant Winters had received
high praise from his superior officers.

GRAND MASTER
HERMAN DAVIS
Visits Vegas Lodge No. 80 on
Annual Trip of
Inspection

Monday evening January 9Th was the
occasion of very pleasant evtnt be-
ing nothing less than the annual visit
of inspection Of the Worshipful Grand
Master Of Nevada, Herman Davis.
Owing to the short notice received by
the lodge, but little could be done in
the way of entertainment However
at the conclusion of the session light
refreshments were served and a
very pleasant hour spent in social
intercourse and the informal discussion
of matters pertaining to the good of
the order
Grand Master Davis is one of the
best posted Masons in the state and en-
tertained Vegas Lodge with most
forceful and instructive lecture on Ma
sonic life and duties. He is by no
means stranger to this section having
visited Vegas lodge last year in compa-
ny with Grand Master Doty. Mr.. Davis
has many warm friends throughout the
state, in proof of which assertion it is
only necessary to point to his election
to the highest honor in the gift of the
Masonic Order in Nevada

GOODSPRINGS
A RICH FIELD
Interesting Notes About COndi
tiOnS in NeVada'S Great
Zinc District

The Yellow Pine Mining district needs
no advertising because for some years
it has been known as a field rich in
mineral. but it is doubtful if many of
Clark County's citizens have any idea
of its capabilities as "a producer and 4
shipper of metal. From time to time,
facts have been given to the public as
to our resources, and no one seems to
recognize the statements as facts. In
the first week of January, 1912, % ears
of ore were shipped from Jean and
three from Roach. aside from the con
tinual shipments from Arden and other
points.
The writer was asked asked few
days ago by man who had resided in
Las Vegas since last June, if this was
Las Vegas county, and also the name
of the county seat. This may have
been the Jesuit of willful ignorance.
What are the people of Clark County
doing to place before the public inform
alton concerning our natural resources
and the value of the productions from
our mines and farms. Let US wake up
and tell the people who we are and
what we havs.
Late work on the Prairie Flower
shows good ore. The Valentine, owned
by Las Vegas capitalists has been able
to make good record and will soon be
on the shipping list.
The Accident and Bullion are already
contributing their share of ore, as are
also the 80, the Milford and the Add
son. Some one is surely busy when
four cars of ore are being shipped each
day.
The new Shea locomotive for the
Yellow Pine Mining Co. will be in reg
ular service in few days. This ad5i-
tion to the present motive power will
enable the mill to run "a hours daily.
The health of the camp is up to stan
dard and everyone is happy.

volume of smoke was seen issuing from
the chimney at his residence few

The City Commissioners have reciev-
ed word from the firm of Ulen, Suther-

were sold, that the proceedings are, in
all probability, in satisfactory shape
and that the form of contract submitted
by the city is satisfactory. 1t is thought
that this is an indication that the pur-
chasers will take the bonds without
