Elko Has Fire

Last night about 7:40 the slaugter
house OF the Elko Mercantile COM
pany was discovered to be on fire, and
a passing engine gave the alarm,
which rapidly spread throughout the
town. The fire apparatus was drag
ged out there but the fire was too far
from the nearest hydrant and connec-
tons were not attempted. The fire
ragged unchecked, but as the wind was
light it did not spread, although it
looked for a time as though the
storage tanks of the Standard Oil
company might be in danger. The
sheds and corrals were destroyed,
part of the Tense being saved by tear
ing it down. The origin of the fire
is unknown. 1t is not unusual for
tramps to build a bonfire and cook 4
'mulligan" out there, and probably
the fire might have started from this
source. The loss was not covered
by insurance of any kind whatever.

Got $1,000 Bar
for Their Labor

Messrs Bvrne & Lichenstein, who
are operating a lease on the old Sill
yer City mine at Silver City, came IN
from that camp this morning with the
proceeds OF the last months run,
which after being run into a bar at
Woodbury's assay office turned the
scales at approximately $1,000. This
product was from a mill run on about
100 tons of ore.
Mr.. Byrne states that he and his
partner have just installed pumps and
a compressor plant at their leasehold
and with these additions they will
now be able to get out a sufficient
amount of ore to keep a fifteen
stamp mill going continuously. They
have 1,5OO tons of ore practically
blocked out and this will be attacked
at once.
Mining is picking up in the district,
said Mr.. Bryne, and from Us to $50
men are employed in the several
mines, leases and mills.

Refused to Be
Handed Anything

A tourist party from Los Angeles,
consisting Of Otto Weld and wife and
Leland S. Bower, al attorney of lbs
Angeles, arrived in Carson late Sat
urday evening, having come across
the mountains by way of the Tioga
pass. They had with them a thermos
bottle full of snow which they mad
gathered on the high mountains.
Their storage battery needed pure
water and the snow was taken to fill
the open space, for its purity.
Mr.. Weld is evidently a sceptical
man, for when Carson's official guide
approached him and offered |, fur
nish MIN information, guide maps,
and so forth, and to pilot him in the
direction he wanted to go, he was
very positive that he knew all ne
wanted to know. He said he did not
need any gold bricks, cared not ~
look over any good things in the way
OF land and did not want to see any
specimens of gold ore. He had no
money to invest and otherwise was
shy about making acquaintance.
When assured that nothing was
wanted, and that it was the purpose
to make it pleasant and agreeable for
him and his party he refused to be-
lieve it. He was from Los Angles
and evidently they never do anything
for nothing down there. The strang-
er within the gates is looked after,
but it is with the idea of milking
him. Such is not the case in Carson,
however, as the traveller later dis
covered before he left for Reno.

Ranch Foreman Suicides

d. III. Crawfield, foreman of Miller
& Lux's Alder Creek ranch in Hum
boldt county, killed himself at thai
place on Monday about noon. The
body was found lying on the floor
of the clubhouse by a young Basque
servant. Beside the body was a short
barrelel shotgun. 1t is believed that
Crawfield, sitting on the floor, plac-
ed the muzzle of the weapon against
his forehead and pulled the trigger.
The whole top of his head was blown
away. No reason for the rash act
is known, though Crawfield had com
planned that morning that he was not

Stabbed by Persons Unknown

The coroner's jury sitting in the
case of John Hogan, better known as
"One-Round' Hogan, brought in a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death as the result of being stabbed
by a person or person unknown.
There were no witnesses to tile mur-
der, which occurred last Tuesday at
Whiterock, in the northern part of
Elko county. Hogan and one Michel
son had quarreled and were ordered
out of a saloon. Several hours late
the body OF Hogan was found lying
in a pool of blood. Nicholson is in

for one hundred citizens, which under

stand and state that the pavement was
benefit to the whole village. The
smallest possible fee for each witness
would be 1920 A small calculation
would show what it would cost them
providing they lost. and if they win,
and the council should carry the case to
the supreme court, they would have to
follow it up or else pay the costs and
/ drop out 1t looks to me that each of
them would have to take money out of
one pocket to prosecute the suit and
out of the other to defend it, and force
the rest of the taxpayers of the village
to spend their good money which they
need for other use.
After doing all this, what has been
gained? The only contention in their
bill of complaint that is of any conse-
quence at all is that which prohibits
the council from paying the Saginaw
Paving Brick Co. for the balance due
on the brick. would like to ask the
| judgment of any citizen if it is not
right that this company should get
their money, and, also, if it would not
be easier to pay it and have it over
with than to have string of legal
entanglements attached to it that will
cost from $1,000 to $500 and have to
pay for the brick in the end If the
council raises this year just one-half as
much on $1,000 that they did last
year, it would be enough to pay up all
the indebtedness of the village and
there would be enough left for running
expenses providing this legal trouble
could be settled. If it is not settled.
would like to issue a warning to all tax
payers to prepare for the limit again

Speak Highly of w. Becker

Probably no better recommend could
be given a candidate in the race for his
second term nomination. than that
given to our present county road COM
missioner, Will Becker. The state
ments were made in casual way and
by men employed on the county good
roads.
One of these men was a good road
foreman under Mr.. Becker last season
and man who speaks just exactly as
he thinks. He stated he never worked
for more exacting, painstaking and
careful official, and that Mr.. Becker
was as careful of the public funds as
he would have beenof his own. Every
man received the wages he earned and
no more and that he was one of the
most economical managers he had ever
met. There was no doubt in the minds
of either of the speakers as to Mr..
Becker's ability as road commissioner
and that it would take a new man on
the job fully three years to acquire
the experience necessary to fill the
position satisfactorily to the county.
Another workman ventured the state
ment voluntarily that Mr.. Becker had
been on the job both early and late
many times to his own inconvenience,
which showed plainly in the minds of
those in his employment that the work
or good road making was the upper
most factor in his mind. AS public
official and faithful servant, Mr.. Beck
er's services have been invaluable to
the county and as the time for the pri-
mary election draws near his worth is
being emphasized more and more. Mr..
Becker is Fenton resident and has
looked after the work in the same de-
gree of precision outside of his home
township. 1t is up to the voters of
Genesee county to roll up splendid
vote for Mr.. Becker on March 3rd, and
we believe they are not going to turn
down man, who has the best interests
of his county at heart. Mr.. Becker's
many friends in this locality are using
every effort, to land him the second
term to which he is justly entitled -
