RANDOLPH SEES
GOOD Times AHEAD

Secretary Randolph, of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, states that lately
there has been extensive inquiry ~
regards land and mines in and around
Winnemucca. Pithily he says:
"Things are moving. Everything
coming to this Office has q tone Of i'm
provement and betterment Of con-
ditions. It shows revival Of com
plete confidence and is forecast Of
great prosperity. Money for invest
ment is loosening and getting into
circulation. This means good times
for all of US. During the last three
weeks the Chamber has had three
times the inquiries about land and
mines than it had in the previous six
months. Money for mines and set
tiers on land is the sign Of the times
for Winnemucca and Humboldt coun-
ty resources. A good, aggressive
campaign on this line means much for
greater and more prosperous Win
Uemucca.

RICH PLACfRS OF
LEONARD CREEK

Guy Bishop, E. L. Moffat and Geo.
Nj. Rose are IN town from their Leon
ard creek diggings. Their speciality is
placer, and for their confidence and
enthusiasm as to the richness of that
section they are showing an evidence
Of the native gold that convinces even
the practical placer miner that their
diggings are rich and mean, when
properly opened, fortune for the
owners.
Bishop, Rose and Moffat, as repre-
sentatives from that section, are as
sertive in their confidence of the
wealth and opportunities of that sec
tion.
The Guerney Gordon strike is about
three miles west from their workings,
and they confirm the quartz, gold and
silver Importance of the Gordon Sec
tion.
Moffat, who is an old timer at the
mining prospecting game, pronounccs
the Pine Forest section as one of the
best he has ever prospected. On the
placer showings he said:
II consider my prospects the best
ever tackled. Our ground is GER
tainly rich in native gold and when
we get our drain tunnel completed we
can work large area of gravel and
from our test holes this will produce
placer gold in abundance. I am fully
assured of this. Much other ground
in the district prospects well'

BIG REWARDS FOR THE
MODERN INVENTOR

Surely the world must be growing
better when the poor inventor no
longer fights off poverty while rich
men reap millions from the product
OF his brain.
A modest young leather worker in
vented way to write things on a
kodak film at the time the picture is
taken. He has just received check
for 100000 from big camera con-
eern which bought the device out
right. The inventor can, therefore,
say: 81 am Independent, and what is
more, I shall never have to worry for
minute in the future about the
manufacturing problem of that inven-
tion.''
The first draft he will make on his
bank account win be to take his
mother on trip to Europe for the
rest Of the summer. Who says invent
ors are rewarded only in story booksi

ALABAMA MIN
STRELS TONIGHT

The Alabama Minstrels arrived in
town this morning from the east, in
their special cars, attached to No. 8.
The tent is pitched on the vacant lot
between the stores of Cooney & Co.
and the Eagle drug company and is
large enough to seat half the town.
G. L. Erickson, the genial proprietor
OF the show, was about town this af
ternoon, renewing old acquaintance.
During the spring the show travelled
through Minnesota and the Dakotas,
and despite the daily rains which it
encountered, played to fairly good
business. Mr.. Erickson, always on the
alert for new attractions, has with
him this season the PeWees,o in a
famous juggling act. Watts & Ed
wards, favorites of last year, are also
with the company again This year.
This afternoon, at O'Clock, the
company's band of IL pieces, gave a
street parade and concert, which was
greatly enjoyed by the throngs which
lined the streets.
The show is billed for Lovelock
Monday evening, but will probably
leave for that town on No. in the
morning and give an extra perform
ance tomorrow night.

short time, until negotiations have

ly pay to ship. Eric Johnson has
fve-stamp mill that is now located
near Inlay, IL miles from Haystack,
and he has made an offer to haul and
mill the ore for $500 per ton. Par
ties at the camp, however, want the
mill moved to Haystack, to save the
expense of hauling, and negotiations

to be worth from $$35 to $40

THE PREVALENCE
OF TUBERCULOSIS

Nearly everyone is tubercula-. That
is the statement made in LCndOn re-
Gently by Sir William Osirr, former
ly of Johns Hopkins university. We
do not die "because we are not
guinea pigs or rabbits; we have OBJ
tanned certain immunity -
Sir William was addressing the AS
sociation for the Prevention of Con-
sumption. He told his hearers that
the human race may be divided into
three classes with regard to tubercu-
losis. The first elias contain the
germs of the disease in their bodies,
but are in small danger Of succumb-
ing. The second class are those in
whom the disease is active enough to
produce symptoms. Te third class
embraces all in whom the disease has
progressed so far that no salvation
can be promised.
And what shall be done by man
kind to make the world free from
tuberculosiss "The enemy has been
tracked to its very stronghold, said
Sir William. That stronghold is de-
Tended by three allies-poverty, bad
housing and drink. When workers
have living wages, when the house
becomes the home, when the nation
spends on food what it now spends on
drink, then, instead Of hundreds Of
there will be millions in
the first group practically immune
from the disease.
This is not new, but it is import
ant. Abundant food, reasonable leis-
ure, sanitary homes and temperate
living offer the only sure escape for
mankind from the great white plague.
