CAPACITY HOUSE
CREETS MINISTRIES

A record breaking house greeted the
Riverside minstrels at their last
nights performance at the Nixon.
Practically the entire population of
the town was there, and all consider
ed that they got run for their
money. Many of the well-known
characters about town occupied front
seats, perhaps as a fancied protec-
tion against the shafts of wit direct
ed from the stage but their position
availed them nothing, as they all got
what was coming to them.
Tie olio was particularly well re-
ceived by the large audience, and the
artistic manner in which the songs
were rendered was a revelation to the
hearers, the greater part of whom had
no intimation that the boys could
sing.
The jokes were good, on the whole,
and while some of them were not ex-
actly new, none were of the post
mortem variety. As the two end
men started to rag, they were prompt
" stopped by the interlocutor, with
the admonition "There may be
Ladies of the Maccabees present. -
This was perhaps the hit of the ev
ening, although Mistah Campbell's s
definition of "political economy" as
the securing of the most votes with
the least money drew generous ap-
plause.
The show was a treat to old-timers,
who prefer the good old fashioned
minstrels of 20 years ago, with inter
locutor, bones and tambourine to the
more modern affairs.
A most appreciated favor was a
bunch of celery from the "bunch to
the bunch" It was presented by
the High school girls, and this orna-
mental and useful edible will be dis
cussed at a formal banquet later.

REMNANT OF "TOGGtRY'
ST0(K SHIPPED TO COAST

What was left of "The Toggery'
stock OF goods will~he shipped to San
Francisco tomorrow night. 1t win be
accompanied by H. l.. Pasch, man
ager of the San Francisco Sales com
aany, which recently purchased the
stock, and George Woods After the
business has been closed up, Mr..
Woods will return and locate here.
In the spring Of 1910 NJ Reinhart
bought out the stock of goods Of the
NJ. +. Staunton company, one of the
pioneer firms of the county, securing
4 long lease on the building. The in
terror of the building was remodeled,
the improvements including a steam
ieating plant, and a high-elass stock
6f ladies' and gents clothing and
furnishing was purchased. After the
first rush Of trade had subsided, it
was found that the volume of bust
ness in a town the size Of Winnemuc-
ea was too limited to support an es-
tablishment of this kind, hut the
business was continued until a few
weeks ago when it was sold to San
Francisco parties.
When asked this morning what
would be done with the building. NJ
keinhart stated that ii would not be
allowed TO stay closed for great
while and intimated that it might be
used for one of the departments of
the +. Reinhart company, thus reliev-
ing the congestion in the main store.

pen against Lee +. Culpen. The lat

TREE CULTURE LAST YEAR
ON NATIONAL FORESTS

During 1913 tree seed was sewn
on ten of the thirty-three national
forests of district 4, (southern Idsho,
Utah, Nevada, southwest Wyomi q &
and northwest Arizona) covering an
area of 1922 acres, trees were pie NJ
ed on twenty forests on an area Of

any forest was. $50 acres sown, and
2s6 acres planted. All of the sowing
and 81 per cent of the planting vas
done in the fall The cost per acre
for sowing was $469, and for plaut-
ing $l243, using $50 trees to 4 Z
acre. An increase of SO cents L.
acre for planting over that of 1912
is due to the use OF older stock. OF
TIE trees planted 50.7 per cent Were

last DAYS POM
PF||" FOR ONE NIGHT

There are so many ideally beauti-
full scenes in George Klein's photo
drama production, "The Last Days of
Pompeii,' - that is is difficult to find
any to praise more than the others.
Among the unusual episodes, how
ever, that are particularly pleasing to
the discriminating artistic spectat
ors are those showing Glaucus and
lone floating down the Bay of
Naples in their beautiful barge, at
tended only by their slaves and slow
ly developing that glorious, stead
fast love that sustained them later
in the terrible ordeals that befell
them-and the scene showing lone at
her bath, receiving the message from
Arbaces to come to the Temple This
is one of the most beautiful pictures
of the group and gives an excellent
idea of the luxurious manner in which
the wealthy ancients performed these
functions. Both the homes Of Glaucus
and lone are gorgeous specimens of
ancient beauty and luxury, denoting
the artistic quality of the people of
those times. The scene showing lone
and Glaucus feeding the fish and
doves is exquisite in its 1aintmess.
"The Last DAYS of Pompeii' is a
photo-dramatization of Lord Bulwer
Lytton s widely read romantic novel
and is announced for the Nixon opera
house for one night, Wednesday, Feb
ruary 4.

BUCkSkIN MARY
PROMISING MINE

Although Buckskin mountain is
covered with many feet of snow,
which makes it impossible TO reach
the mines with provisions or supplies,
there is considerable of a movement
in stocks of mines in that poeality in
the local market.
There has been a demand during
the week for Buckskin Mary stock
which has been selling around ten
cents. The FIVE claims of this com
pany adioin the Buckskn National,
popularity known as the "Senator
Bell property" on the east, and the
vein on which the sensational high
grade strike was made on the Bell
property runs through the Buckskin
Mary. In fact there are two parallel
veins on the property, about 600 feet
apart, both of which are considered
very promising n the lower one six
inches of ore has been struck, which
runs $50 per ton in gold and silver
with Is inches of a lower grade. The
ore is of an exact character to that
found at National at an equal depth
and there is good prospect of the
Buckskin Mary developing into a
high grade mine.
