WiNNEMuccA BEATS ElKo HI
BY A LARGE SCORE AT THE
BRADLEY OPERA HOUSE
LAST EVENING
GAME WAS A GOOD ONE AND
WAS PRECEDED BY TWO PRE-
LIMlNARiES WHICH WERE
a DELIGHT TO ALL

Elko had the privilege last night
OF seeing n basketball tournament
which. with the exception of the Win
nc'gucca boys hopping up the local
athletes, was q joy 20 the large num-
Der OF spectators prcscht beyond
compare. Three games were put on.
one between two girl teams of the
High School. one between two picked
town tearls and the big noise be-
tween ElkC HI and Winnemucca Ii.
Winnemucca was the victor in the
main bout to the tune of 80 to S.
completely ~outclassinE Captain May
Cr's crew, in passing and general
team wo-E. They showed a know
ledge of the game which was surpris-
ing. Almost the entire game they
had the ball In Elko's territory and
time after time they took the spheriod
from away III in their own territory
TO their goal BY n series of rapid pass.
cs and then Il shot and a goal was
scored. The Elko boys showed flash
cs Of form in the second half when
they scored : points by good shooting.
However they showed a sad dencicn.
cy in team work. The particular
stars of the local team were Captain
Mayer anil Porter. Fernald playing n
good defensive game. while Captain
Ersk.ne starred for Winncmucca.
The linoups OF the two teams were
IS follows:
rs follows:
Elho,-Portcr center: Mayer and
Sutton, forwards; Fernald and Harris
Guards. Winnemucca,-Captain
ErSkine, center; Bell. Callahan and
Cornell, forwards; Muller and Lille.
Guards.
In the first preliminary, the blue
team of the girls was defeated by the
reds by 4 score of 7 to 1. The stars
Of the match were Miss Hanna. for.
ward for the reds and Miss Tyler for
the blues.
The second preliminary between
the whites and greens, two picked
'o"h Teams, vas probably the most
Interesting game of the night. The
boys were in fine condition and went
at the game in a manner which was
Il delight to lovers OF the open game.
In the second half, Capt. Bryant. vino
had been playing a star game at cen.
ter or the whites suffered a sprain.
ed ankle and was forced TO retire
from the game. The melee ended In
favor Of tho whites by the score of

GIVING TO THE NEEDY.

SUGGESTIONS have been made in many quarters that this yea
christmas presents be given merely to children and dependents, an
that the money saved be devoted to helping the needy AMI suffering, eu
er at home or In Europe.
1t Is hardly likely that the customary offerings OF love and int.
macy cHn b % checked even under present circumstances. At the sam
time, this iB a year when embroidered handkerchief holders and plus
photograph albums Will go hard. Also 1t is a time when overcoats n.
as gifts.
There Is always too much swapping and trading at Christmas, ;c
many lavish offerings to people already living in supernuity, too it'll
OF ina thoughtful generosity that seeks out in their isolation, the hungg,
who arc usually too selfrespecting to reveal their own need.

MICROSCOPE
N MINING

The use OF the microscope in min
Ing has increased rapidly in recent
years. This fact has been recog-
nized in laying out courses of study
in the Mackay School of Mines. Thus
the study of microscopic Photography
which was formerly elective, has now
been placed on the list OF required
subjects. and courses are now Offer
ed in the microscopic study of alloys
and of opaque ores.
The first use of the microscope in
the examinations of thin sections
was made by Sorby about fifty years
ago, but 1t was not until to- -~a- Ia
ter, when Ferdinand Zirkel published
his first paper, that the science re-
ceived the great impetus which has
carried it forward 10 its present i'm
portant position. II IS now possible
by the study of u thin section OF =
-~N-@ ~ vi VIC ~ utlNA aAl4lAt
what the contents and history of that
section are aud - IT'S manner OBJ
tam valuable Information concerning
prospecting and developing mines
and milling ores. For eNamIln, IL
the Tonopal district he orc-belring
rock is similar il most respects TO
bat examination with a microscope
- the non-ore-bearing roGis.
Will show very plainly the difference
between the two and thus assist ma
terially in looking for ore.
Ihe thin sections used in this
work are obtained by grinding a
rock down first with emery Oh an
IRON wheel ana ihcn will, rouge on
glass until the sections approximate
thickness OF about one thousaudsth
OF an inch. Not o~'- !ight colored
rocks but also black rocks such as
basalt become translucent when
ground to this degree CT thinncss
and can be examined with the pet
geographic microscope by transmitted
light. All students in the course in
mining engineering at the Mac,.ay
School of Mines learn to prepare
and examine specimens in this man.
ner in the regular course of their
work in geology under Professor
Jones.
For the purpose OF examining opa-
que substances like metals and ores.
It is necessary TO make use of. re-
ilected light. The use OF reflected
light is also due to Sorby but II has
been developed mainly in the field of
metallurgy in the examination Of !r-
ons and s~tecls. and only in recent
years has come to DC used for the
examination of Opaque ores. For the
study OF alloys and ores The Muchay
School OF Mines is equipped with 4
very fine metallographic microscope
OF large size and has recently sccuT.
ed a collection of some hundred mol
ished specimens of iron and steel for
advanced metallographic work which
Assistant Professor Palmer is prcpar.
cd to handle.
The microscopic study of ores is Il
recent development, largely due to
Professor William Campbell OF Col
umbia University, under whom Pro.
lessor Lincoln studied. Professor
Lincoln has since made a special
study of the use of the microscope in
examining opaque minerals and has
now placed mis- large collection Of
polished minerals and ores at the
disposal of advanced students who
wish to take up this work. The me
photographic microscope has become a
most valuable implement for the
study of ore deposits, having greatly
enlarged the field Of the microscope
in mining.

With Apologies to Omar Khayyam.
"And much as wine has played the infdel.
And robbed me of my robe OF honor, well

AS the goods they SELL"
This. from the Rubaiyat, by old Khayyam.
Pictures my image very like 1 am;
But tbs the vOluDtuOus rag with me-sO say time improves
Things that our souls damn.
Omar rhlosopherpoet of ages ago
What pity his poor life was wasted so
With Vine. Why the sensual PLEASURES OF the rag
Make wine both poor and low.
Well 1 know i-both roads I've wandered in.
The cups last dregs 1 have drained of gin,
n II ls insipid. Weakhng sure is he who becomes its victim
And falls to sin. ~
Then, come. let us rag. In the fire of spring.
Your winter garments of repentance fling;
the biri Of time has but a little way to Hutter-
And the bird is on the wing.
Heaven is but. the fulhlment of desire,
And hell the shadow OF pleasure on fire.
Come, in the grapevine let our limbs contact. for soon
The sweet rag music will expire.
The Creator made feet to dance. Then who dare
Blaspheme this twisting. twirling, as a snare.
A blessing, we should use 1t, should We not? And If a curse
Why then, who set 1t there?
Oh, Threats of He'll, and hopes of Paradise
One thing at least is certain-Ths life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is lies; the music of the rag
once blown forever dies.
What though husband anger or wife decline.
On With the good rag-let our limbs entwine.
Ho for dvorce-for q finer love should We not
The old resign.
And though the youth may all OF bright life learn,
Is their flesh not warm? Does their blood not burn?
Lie is to enjoy and we are long dead. What good OF life
Less we get what We yearn?
An. my love, let us, you anu l conspre
To grasp the whole scheme of this life entire:
We will shatter dull gloom to bits and then remould life
Nearer to the hearts desire.

We Will sip of life that Is warm, and lucious sweet.
