A PROTEST

When church opens its doors to
a political mountebank, it cannot
complain If it gets roasted to a
nice brown. To assail a church in
its own sanctuary, is abhorrent to
all lovers of fair play and public
decency. A church house is a
place dedicated to the worship of
the Almighty and It is very much
out of place to permit a buffoon
to occupy the pulpit. The pulpit
is one place where political
heresies should not be heard. In
fact, politicians should hire hall
and not impose on a confiding
public by preaching obnoxious
political doctrines in a place dedi-
Gated for public worship. The next
time an Elko church opens it's
doors to any political party it is to
be hoped that it will get all that is
coming to it and that should be
good and plenty.

A test case was brought against
two motorists of Douai, who enliv-

tion of the word "horn," which
had hitherto been rather widely in

"The latter" said the Judge,

why NOT KEEP THIS
$4,000 At HOME
An Enterprise Being Overlooked

An Enterprise Being Overlooked
W. L Barclay left yesterday for
Lamoille to meet some farmers
who are agitating the building of
flour mill In Lamoille Valley. If
"a good mill were in operation,
with the growing of the splendid
hard winter milling wheat, there
is no reason why a single sack of
-four should be shipped into Elko
County, or into any of the adjacent
counties. That such grade of
wheat can be successfully grown in
this county, has been amply demon
strated for the past three years.
1t is estimated that SO cars of
flour are being shipped annually
into Elko alcne. Each car is worth
$1,000. That makes $4,000. We
rise to inquire-"Why not keep
this $4,000 at home?"

THE TALE THE BOTTLE TOLD
Yellow, Glitterins, Cleaning Gold
on Exhibition Today at a
Local Store.

Ye scribe was seeking a story
"a really true story" and some-
thing "new under the sun" for
folks in ElKo like the ancient
Athenians "long to see and hear
some new things" Just then thu
wireless reached US and,-
And--in Seymour Jacobs hand
was a bottle containing more than
our weeks salary-a bottle of free
gold-worth Sl7O. This little
bottle promised a tale and we now
set it down. not BY request, but be-
cause of its interest and truth, for
it is only in dynasty or two, one
can see such sight.
After long anxious look at this
bottle Of gold, look like a woman
has when she sees her skirt is un-
fastened at the back, or like a boy
gazing at his first stem winder, or
like Esau felt when he swapped his
copyright for a mess of porridge,
we put certain hypothetical ques-
tions. This is the result.
The gold came from the Stockton
Ridge Mining Con. Co.'S mine at
Mokelumne Hill Calaveras Co, Cal.
This company, of which Theodore
Fershtand, San Francisco,i is the pres
ident, owns 335 acres of patented
ground, which is worked by the
drifting process through a tunnel
reaching a channel at dis
tance of 230O feet. This property
has been shut down for number
of years through lack of capital. 1t
was reopened on March 90. 1912,
and Immediately the outlook with
the rltramarine edges disappeared.
At present this mine is equipped
with rotary mill of $50 tons daily
capacity, which is made especially
for gravel by the VIC Price Pumping
and Engineering Co., of San Fran
cisco. The mine is showing some very
coarse gold samples, part of which
have been suld by President Fersh-
tand, who owns the controlling in
terest. We whisper softly that
Seymour Jacobs, and several promi-
nent Elko men are also interested
in this mine. This is told to dis
sipate any fog Of bewilderment, for
these gentlemen have discovered
that their investments are realizing
far above their expectations.
The bottle, at Mr.. Jacobs store,
contains specimens of free gold
from the first milling, and reveals
the quality and grade of gold pro-
duced by the ancient river chan
nels. The mill is run by water pow
er; the water comes from ditch
above, at height of $50 feet. A
6-8-l0 inch pipe carries the water
to the mill, and supplies the power.
The pipe line from the ditch to the
mill is about 1000 feet. 1t requires
about 20 II. P. to run the mill and
wash the gravel. Is not this
cheap operation?
So endetb "the tale the bottle
told" which was written to be read
by men so often tired of metals,
meals, miles and martyrdoms.
Mark it down in the scroll of your
