PLAZA

ssThe House of a Thousand Candles from the famous novel of the same name is proving one of the most de- Iightful screen plays the Plaza has yet had to offer. It is in five parts, featuring Harry Mestayer, the noted star of the 1cgdttate stage, and is teen1ing with lively situations and fsroeful ciirnaxes rFHe story is odd. dealing with love and hate, with ad- venture, mystery and the quest of hidden gold. and it holds the inter est of the spectator until the final scenes.
 Probably no act of the present vaqd deyi4le season has been received with acgreaher 1dtsplay of enthusiasm -admfrarfon rnan Irving Cooper s sBoardfng School Girls with Miss Tommy Allen and an all star cast, and patrons of the Plaza, especially those who find musical comedy the most pleasing Of variety entertainments, are expressing their appreciation at every performance. This act is a novelty with chorus of attractive show girls. with beautiful voices and a repertoire of the very 1atestN song hits that shows them to advantage.
 The remainder of the Vaudeville is composed of Kane & Herman, two two clever young chaps who also ssc1ean up' on the applause end at every performance; Alice and. Dick Morse in 3. nifty singing and talking arrangement and Harry Davis the funny JuggIer with the "educated'' hat.
 His Jungle sweeth cart and They Loved Him So' were shown on the movie program in conjunction with the big picture.

HUGE MOUNTAIN LION
KILLED IN NYE COUNTY

Frank jenkins, of Pine Creek, came
to town yesterday with the pelt of a
mountain lion of unusual size, which
he killed three days ago in the noun
tains back of the ranch, says the To
nopah Bonanza.
In company with Joe Nay he was
working a few lingering cattle down
out of the hills for the winter, when
he came upon the carcass of six-point
buck which had been freshly killed.
All the signs pointed to lion, and Mr..
Jenkins, riding close to the kill, caught
glimpse of tawny red in the brush
nearby. He swung his horse to within
80 feet and began shooting at the van
ishing target. The first shot went wild
and so did the second, but with the
third he had his quarry more definitely
in view but still made a clean miss.
The fourth ball from his 80 found lodg-
ment in the lion. The big brute dis
appeared at a bound, but Jenkins
knew he had made hit and pressed on
in pursuit The brush was very thick
with no red visible. 1t was bad going
in the saddle. Joe Nay had come up
by this time and Frank said he would
follow in on foot.
''Better not" said Nay, "you don It
know what you are going up against. -
But Frank kept on for a matter of
800 yards. There was a dog trailing,
but Frank drove him back.
Presently he saw the swish of a
tail. 1t was a weak and final move
ment and little closer he saw the big
brute stretched out at full length and
ali in.
The hide of the lion proved fine
trophy. When spread out it measured
s inches less than 8 feet. The carcass
was more than Jenkins and Ney could
lift clear of the ground-400 pounds
they guessed it.
Frank brought the pelt to town with
him, but will not dispose of it. He
will have it cured to hang on the wall
and to pin fine story to.
There is complaint among stoekmen
in the summer ranges that mountain
lion are more plentiful and bolder than
they have been known for years. The
complaints of their ravages have ben
SO insistent, particularly from out
about Jack Longstreet's place, that
the county commissioners have added
a special bounty of $25, in addition to
the regular one of $5 for scalps.
Deer and young colts are the espe-
eial prey of lions, with calves and
sheep in smaller numbers.
Frank Jenkins is now torn by con-
fiieting desires about that trophy
whether to give up the scalp and get
the $50 bounty or keep the whole thing
to hang on the wall and pin a good
story to.

DAY CURRENT
FOR WINNEMUCCA

It seems probable that Winnemueea
will have a continuous electric service
within the next six weeks. The Win
nemueca Mountain Mining company
has entered into a contract with the
Water & Light company for service
fol two years, with the privilege of re-
newing for an equal term. This no
doubt means that the town will have
the day "juiee" indefinitely, for by
the time this contract has expired
there will be enough customers to war
rant continuance of the service.
The occasion for this contract is the
erection of a fifty-ton mill on Win
nemucea mountain, to handle the ores
of the Rexall and Bonanza mines, en-
bracing % claims. For several years
development work has been going on
a. these properties, with the result
tnat enough ore has been blocked out
to keep this mill running at full ca
paeity for several years.
The mill when completed will be ca
pable Of handling fifty tons of ore a
day, with 100 tons crushing capacity
II is what is known as the Dorr coun-
ter current decantation cyanide pro
cess, together with crushing and grind
ile machinery consisting of ore crush
er bah mill and tube mill, and is all
of the latest type of reduction machin-
cry. The plant is being installed at a
point just below the main working
shaft on what was formerly the Bo-
nanza or Shively property and so stu.
ated that the ears hoisted from the
mine can be run directly to the erusher.
The mill building will be of structural
steel and iron throughout
The water to be used at the mill will
be pumped from a well now being
drilled at a distance of 1850 feet
easterly from the reduction plant The
pipe for this water system is now over
half laid and the work of laying the
balance is being pushed as the water
is needed for the mixing of concrete
to be used in the foundation work of
tho mill.
The officers of the Winnemucea
Mountain Mining company are: II. A.
Swanson, PRESIDENT; W. G. Adamson,
general manager, secretary and treas.
urer; John r. Turner, vice-president
and superintendent of the mill and
mining operations.

DISCOVERIES IN
THE VICINITY OF SODAVILLE

Owing to the strong demand for
tungstic acid, which is used in harden
ing steel and for other purposes, the
search for the ores of tungsten is be
coming active. Two deposits have re-
Gently been opened in this region, says
the Tonopah Bonanza. One is ten miles
west of Sodaville in the Excelsior
range. The mineral comes in the form
cf scheelite, resembling spar quartz.
Already the property has forwarded
so tons of the ore. The price of the
metal has quadrupled since the war
began, owing to its use in the manu-
faeture of cannon and projectiles.
Another deposit of tungsten ore has
been discovered one mile west of So
daville. 1t is on the Bob Stewart
ranch. c. e. Noble owns a third in
terest in the property. Assays show
that it is very rich. A bond has been
given on the property. Mr.. Noble has
method of testing tungsten ores
which it would be well for all pros
pectors to know, as the ores are very
deeeiving in appearance.
His method is to crush the sample
and place it in a saucer, covering it
with hydroehloric acid. Then he adds
little tin, seraped from a can and if
the solution turns blue it is certain
that it is a tungsten ore.

ANTIMONY CHIEFLY
VALUABLE AS ALLOY

Pure antimony is a brilliant silver
White metal 1t is brittle, and soft,
being slightly harder than copper. Com
I4ercial antimony is generally contain
mated with small amounts of sulphur,
arsenic, lead, copper and iron and these
impurities give it a blush tinge.
The main use of antimony is in the
form of alloys, of which there are four
principal ones together with several
others of minor Importance. The
principal alloys of antimony are:
pewter, anti-friction metal, type
metal and hard lead. Of these alloys
the most interesting at the present
time is the hard lead, since the use of
this is in the form of bullets in shrap-
mel shells, has occasioned the great
rise in the price of antimony.
The price of Cookson's brand,
which is the purest brand of antimony,
from 1908 to 1913 varied very little
from S1a cents per pound, while the
present price of this brand is 81 cents
per pound. The average price of Chi
nese brands in ordinary times is 11l
cents less than Cookson IS, but present
prices are not available. Before the
beginning of the great war, English
companies controlled the market, but
since then the Wah Chang Antimony
company, of China, has opened up an
agency in New York, and numerous
small smelling plants have started in
America to take advantage of the SEN
sational rise in the price of the metal.
There are certain peculiaritise in
the nomenclature of antimony products
which are liable to cause confusion to
those familiar with copper and lead.
Thus, the name for artificial antimony
suiphide is "crude antimony.' After
this has been reduced to metal, the
metal is called "regulus, which, in
the case of other metals, is a term
synonymous with matte.
The principal ore of antimony is the
sulphide stibnite, which contains, when
pure, TIA per cent antimony Stibnite
is lead gray metallic mineral with a
high lustre, commonly occurring in ag-
gregates of columnar or bladed crys-
tails and radiating groups, and more
rarely in massive granular form. It
may be distinguished from galena,
which it resembles in color and hard
ness, by the fact that galena always
fas cubieal cleavage. Moreover, when
stibnite is melted before the blow-pipe,
it fuses easily, gives off copious white
fumes and produces a brittle button,
where galena gives scanty fumes and
malleable button. In this respect IT
resembles arsenopyrite, but the latter
mineral not only gives off heavy white
fumes, but also a strong garlic odor.
Near the surface, stibnite is fire.
quently oxidized to form kermesite,
which has deep cherry red color and
occurs in groups of radiating needles,
valentite and senormontite, which are
white when pure, or cervantite, which
has slight yellowish tinge, from
which it gets the common name, can
tImony ochre. Kermesite contains 1873
per cent antimony when pure, valentite
and senormontite each contain S3.S
per cent, and cervantite 1912 per cent
antimony.
