ELKS' MEMORIAL
HELD SUNDAY
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES ARE
WITNESSED BY MEMBERS
AND THEIR GUESTS

The services at the Elks hall Sun
day evening held in memory of the
departed members of the Goldfield
lodge, proved one of the most sue
cessful events of this kind hat the
lodge has ever held and was largely
attended The services were i'm
pressive from the moment the mem
bers filed into the beautifully deco
rated room until the entire lodge
rose for the final benediction by
Rev. j.. B. Dermody. The service
began promptly at s o'clock and the
two hours of exercises slipped by I'M
noticed, so interesting were the Sc
lections and addresses.
The roll-call of the honored dead
of Elkdom, which followed a selec-
ton by the orchestra and the OPEN
ing ceremonies, was most impressive.
The quality of the music added much
to the solemnity of the occasion and
all the selections were well rem
dered. Miss Muriel Stackpoole, who
had just returned from singing at
the Elks' services at T%onopah, sang
with a clear, sweet voice.
Charles S. Sprague delivered the
Elks' eulogy and dwelt on the vir-
tues of the members of the order
who have passed to the great be-
yond this year. He carried the prin-
ciple of the lodge throughout his
address and impressed on his hear
ers the ideal of Elkdom, that the
virtues of the brothers be written on
tablets of love and memory, but that
their faults be written on the sands.
The principal address of the eve
ming was delivered by Fred Hughes
of the Yonkers, n. Y, lodge, who
handled his material in a forceful
name and whose style of rendition
carried the entire assemblage with
him throughout the evening and left
a deep impression. The great idea
of charity in thought and action was
the KEYNOTE of the address, and IL
Illustrations of how the Elks live up
to their ideals were cleverly worked
into the subject matter by Mr..
Hughes.

TUNGSTEN TRUMP
AMONG MINERALS
GOOD PROMISE OF LARGE OoI-
PUT IN REGION AROUND
SODAVILLE

In the mining game in the vic1n-
ity of Sodaville tungsten is the
trump. other metals are there in
plenty but to C lain the attention OIL
mining men who are congregatins
there the prospector must exhlblt
tungsten ore.
Deposits of the metal have seen
discovered in three different places
G. E. Noble, who made the first dis
overy has been working on MS
property for the last three years. He
recently sold his interests there Z"
a California firm who are at pres
ent working the mines on a large
scale. The principal work is a shaft,
which has reached a depth OF 50
feet. The ledge on the surface is
about IL inches in width and at the
bottom of the shaft it widens out to
nearly two feet. On the surface the
ledge has been exposed for a dis
lance of 800 feet.
Between 80 and 40 men are m
ployed. A road has been built to the
mine and heavy machinery will soon
be installed. At present the ore is
packed on mules for a distance OF
a mile and a half and from there is
hauled by teams to the railroad at
Sodaville.
The old Del Monte mill at Acme
has been purchased by the company
and put in shape to handle the ore.
which in future will be concentrated
there. The output at present is 10
tons per day, which will be increas-
ed now that the mill is in shape to
handle the product. The first car
load was shipped Saturday and the
ore averaged about $500 per tom.
The last discovery was made by
Ward and Noble, within Is minutes
walking distance of the Stewart no.
tel. Here they uncovered an Is
inch ledge of tungsten ore, the same
being exposed by shallow trenches
for a distance of 800 feet.
The entire country in the imme-
date vicinity of the find has been
located. Mining men have examined
the ground and pronounce it good,
but not enough development work
has been done to justify any pur-
chases. Among local people who
have ground here are J. Rudy and
w. Cainhauer of Soda, Jack Ham
mil and P. A. Simon of Nina.
Another tungsten discovery is e
ported from the vicinity of Candel-
aria, S. M. S~ummerfield being the
principal Owner 1t is reported that
the Wingfield people have taken an
option on this ground, the price be-
ing $40, 000.-Hawthorne Bulletin.
