IA CENTS BEING PAID
FOR WHITE PINE WOOL

The Ely TXpositor says: In spite
of the fact that wool can now he
imported into the United States
free, the prospects are that White
Pine county wool growers will rea-
lie as much or more from their
spring clips as they did last year.
Contracts are now being made with
growers Of this county for their
clips 70 be SHARED this spring at
ID cents a pound, and that was the
best price received by them last
year.
Caster Olsen, the wool grower
and rancher Of Taft, Springs valley,
is acting as purchasing agent fer
an eastern wool dealer and it is re-
ported to have 'contrac.ed practi-
cally all the wool produced in
Spring valley at l3 and IA cents.
Most of the Springs valley sheep
are sheared at Currie where the
Nevada Northern established shear
ig pens several years ago as that
point is the most convenient to
which sheep can be driven.
Though the shearing season in
Nevada does not begin until March
it is customary for many growers
to sell their wool on contract be-
fore shearing unless they look for
an advan e in the price. This
year is said there is less wool in the
eastern warehouse than usual while
the demand seems to be normal
and hettsr prices are expected by
some Of the growers.

MAYER HOTEL OPENING

The formal opening of the new
Hotel Mayer took place Monday
night and was the big event of the
season.. Guests began to arrive
early and by 9 o'clock there was a
complete jam of humanity in the
spacious lobby, parlors, dining and
barrooms. All one could do was to
go with the crowd or find an easy
chair and sit down.
AS the guests arrived each lady
was given a bouquet of violets.
There were three hundred of these
provided, but they were soon given
away. -Four hundred dance pro-
gains were also distributed and fell
far short of supplying the demand.
At 9o'clock dancing began in the
dining room ard was kept up until
4 o'clock this morning. The crowd
wasso dense on the floor that the
dancers could hardly whirl through
the dances.
After dancing awhile Judge
TaGer called the people to order and
introduced Judge Curler who well
coined the people to the opening
and babe all of them to have q good
time as that was the earnest desire
of the hotel management
When Judge Curler concluded,
Hon. George Russell, Sr. was called
on and responded in his usual hap
Ply vein He spoke of the need of
the hotel to the town and the benefit
the travelling public and town
would receive from it. other
sneakers were called for, but they
were too busy having a good time
to respond.
Mr.. G. F.. Mayer closed the
speaking by telling everybody to
enjoy themselves and how glsri he
was to see so many present. 1t
was doubtless happy moment for
Mr.. Mayer as he saw last night
the plans and dreams Of years grow
into a reality.
At II o'clock, refreshments were
ready in the spacious basement and
the people in relays of a hundred
or more were served with the most
elaborate supper ever served in Ell
ko. There were enough roast tur-
key, salad, cake, coffee, etc, to feed
a hungry multitude and it was
served in II way that made the hun
cry more hungry. 1t was truly a
feast fit for a king end reflected
great credit upon Mr. Arnold and
his corps nf assistants.
The number present was var
iously estimated from 500 to 700.
Mr.. Arnold fed $50. AS many did
not go to supper, a good estimate
of the people present is 600. 1t
was a jolly good natured crowd and
all enjoyed a royal evening. All
