C. n. Newman Thinks WaterwOrIs

"El Paso should organize a park i'm
provement club" says Charles n
Newman This would have for its
purpose the selection and development
of park sites Ehile the city is young.
In travelling about the country I have
been impressed with the difficulties
larger cities meet when they find a
need for parks and have to 60 to great
expense to get them

Francisco. where a beautiful park has
been made in place where there was
once nothing but sand dunes, demon
strates what might be done here. Now
is the time for the city to develop the

markedly well without water.
IF this land were to be developed.
the Fairgrounds problem would be
partially solved It is only one mile
from the end Of the FIT Bliss car line
TO the WaterwOrks and probably the
car line would be extended if a park
were established there.
we are in need Of more parks right
now We have not a sufficient num-
Der and we should get more before we
lind ourselves in the same predicament
as other larger cities that have had
to tear away buildings to build breath

ELKO ROMANcING

The romancer is abroad in the land. His
habitat is the wide world and his name is
legion. However, he seems to have an in
Vulnerable progeny in Elko. One of his
breed imposed on this paper by giving
false and misleading information concern
ing the subdivision of the II ranch. He
told the Independent man that the owners
of this ranch had been offered more money
for the property en-block, than they were
willing to take for it in small parcels, to
actual home builders That kind of loyal
ty to the best interests of the county of
Elko and the state at large, appealed to us
so strongly, that feature article was
written and given prominence in these col
umns which was widely copied by the
state press.
The Independent, here and now, makes
an abject apology to the state press for
giving publicity, to what appears to have
been scheme to dispose of very
valuable property without the usual adver-
Using expenses. The owners do not appear
to have been wise to the scheme and knew
nothing about the tactics adopted by one
of the agents, having charge of the sale of
the ranch, but this paper was imposed
upon nevertheless. The land was not sub
divided and sold in small holdings, as we
were told would be done, but one tract of
$4,000 acres was sold in a body and therein
praise of loyalty to Elko county falls fiat.
There is nothing to it. Water and oil won't
mix. The next irresponsible fellow, max
ing wild and improbable statements, will
have hard job getting his statement pub
hshed in these columns as news item.

THE BUcKH0RN MINES co.

Another fake news item was given this
paper, in reference to the Buckhom Mines
Co., by professional man of Elko, who
vouched for the truth of the statements, is
so distorted and exaggerated as to bear little
semblance to the truth. Mr.. Wingfeld
himself is authority for the statement that
Mr.. Frick is neither an officer, director nor
stakeholder in the Buckhorn Mines Com
pany. The capacity of the new mill at
Buckhorn will not exceed 800 or $50 tons
per day. The amount of ore blocked out
IS not $di .ooo, 900 or anything likeit. How
ever, there Is enough ore in sight to pay
for the mills and plant at Buckhorn and
Beowawe and give the stockholders nice
profit on the investment. This paper will
mott knowingly, disseminate any false or
misleading statements. The truth is good
enough about Buckhorn and it is splen-
did property, worthy of most favorable
mention. Mr.. Wingfeld needs no boost
ing and the fact that he is the leading spirit
at Buckhorn may have had something to
do with our informant drawing the long
bow, In telling his story to the independent
man. There is no stock for sale in The
Buckhorn Mines Co., and our informant
probably acted in good faith, but his de-
sire TO BOOST a good thing was much
greater than bis knowledge of mining at
Buckhorn. The Independent desires to tell
all the truth, all the time, and is gladto corr
rect all misstatement of facts whenever it
has knowledge of inaccuracies, which may
happen to creep into these columns. The
whole truth, exact and even banded justice,
and fair treatment will be our watchword
