RACE TRACK AND FAIR
Let Us Have Race Track and County
Fair Next Fall.

There are those in Yerington who
remember when there was a fairly
good half-mile race track within what
is now the city limits In fact the
track was located about where Nevada
and California streets now are In
those times there was a whole week
devoted to racing, games. broncho
busting, etc, and there was always a
splendid exhibit Of farm produce. The
occasions were looked forward to
as the event of the year and the lii
tie town was crowded with people
who came from all over the State
The races were good then and the
agricultural display was fine That
being the case in those days why
should Lyon county not have just as
~ood attractions in the way of races
today and much better agricultural
exhibit. and also a mineral exhibit thai
would startle outside visitors?
There Is no good reason. except
that there has been no organization.
with head to it, to promote such
things The people OF Yerington. Ma
son. Ludwig, THOMPSON. Wabuska.
Dayton and Silver City. and the
farmers OF Mason and Smith Valleys
Bhl Wouii no hohDl IlkC 10
have a GOOD county fair agan-there
are indications OF it in this commun-
ity AT any rat. for we know OF sew
eral who will donate Sl00 each at any
moment for the organization OF a club
which will build good half-mile
track and take charge Of the business
OF getting good string OF horses to
come here. and also arrange for an ag-
ricultural display
There is nothing that would do the
county more good than a fair. 1t
would bring thousands of people into
this district. and an agricultural dis
play could be made that would take
the breath away from those who are
skeptical about Nevada being an agri-
cultural State
Then. too, a mineral display could
be made that would show visitors that
we have the best in the world in the
way OF copper mines.
Let's stir this fair and track busi-
ness up in time to get action this fall
Get somebody to take the matter in
hand and keep it moving There viii
be no trouble to get the money. All
II needs is for the project to have a
head that will not let things lag after
the start is made
Let's have that track and fair.

LEACHING PLANT POSSIBLE

DR.. ]. II Banks, of the firm of Rick

metllurgical and chemical experts,

was an arrival in Yerington the first
of the week, accompanied by his wife
The doctor is making special study
of this district and an estimate OF the
possible tonnage, with view OF in
stalling teaching process, possibly,
to extract the values from these low
grade ores He and his associates
have method. we are informed
which will take the values from one
per cent copper ore at profit to the
owners of the ore The doctor is an
eminent minino engineer as well as
being at the head Of his class in metal
lurgy and chemistry 1t is more than
likely that he will find chance to do
business in this district for there Is an
abundance of ore here. both in the
largely developed properties and the
smaller prospects, that could probably
be leached to GREAT advantage. The
smelter at Thompson has been a great
thing in the way of handling ores
from the many prospects in the dis
trict and putting money in the pockets
of the prospector but if a teaching
process can be had which will handle
one per Gene ore prohtably it will be
the greatest boon the district could
have We opine that the district will
greatly benefit. in the near future

NOT FOR HIM TO INTERFERE
Constable Could Not See Breach of
the Peace When Men We're Fight

known as the Free Staters" Turning
a bend in the peaceful road, he came
upon a strange gathering In an ad-

or more natives engaged with sticks,
stones, FISTS and feet in a battle royal,
while Oh the fence hard by sat two
score females cheering them on. The
battle was in earnest; and even while
the traveller, refining up in astonish-
ment, stood fascinated by the sight.
several of the combatants bit the dust.

might explain this fierce war in the
midst Of such peaceful surroundings.
