AUTO PARTY PLEASED WITH

Ogden, who are on their way to Globe,

the good roads question They say
that the roads from Mount Ella to To
nopah cannot be excelled. They are
in splendid condition and there is no
reason on earth why the people of
Nevada do not boost their highways
instead of permitting few to knock
and drag their reputation down.
Middleliss started from Ogden
about two weeks ago and ever since
he left, although the machine has a
very heavy load, they have been max
ing an average of twelve miles on a
gallon of gasoline. They have had no
punctures or blowouts since they de
parted on their adventurous journey.
The only thing worthy of note was
the breaking of all the bolts on the
transmission gear twenty miles the
other side of Curry They had a
steel clothesline with them, so they
fastened the gear as best they could
until they reached Ely, twenty-five
miles farther on, where they had the
necessary repairs made. Ever since
they have been in good luck and moth
ing hindered them in their progress.

TONOPAH
KLONDYKE THROvE
DISCOVERY MADE SEVEN
TEEN YEARS AGO
SENATOR BELL STILL RETAINS
HIS HOLDINGS NEAR
THIS CITY

Seventeen years ago last March the
surrounding country near Tonopail
was placed on the map of the United
States to stay for some time to come
one of the richest strikes that were
made in that year occurred at klon-
dyke, founded by 7. ]. Bell and J. G.
Court. two prospectors who had been
searching the desert in quest oil
wealth for many years.
The ore for the first three years
ran about $500 ton. From that time
It gradually decreased in value ami
today il is as low as $40; but with
very bright prospects OF increasing
in the near future. The mines in that
district has been run almost continn-
ously since the discovery. After five
wears of operation by the owners they
were leased and since that time many
trubuters have made considerable
money. The mines are now operated
by Senator Bell and Mrs. Court, her
husband having died year ago last
fall Gold, silver, lead and a small
l trace of copper have been found Ia
the ores. They are producing mostly
silver now, but due to the low prici
of the white metal, it is rather har,
to keep paying expenses.
Senator Bell came to Nevada abou
fifty-five years ago and has rename
near here ever since He knows tn
country like book and there ism
a water hole or trail that remains
mystery to him. In the early day
he had camp some sixty odd mile
from Alkali springs and since tier
was no other indication of water nea
there they had to haul their wate
and supplies that distance. The
would just about run out of hay an
supplies after returning to their cam
in the hills, when they had to retrac
their steps and get the necessary al
ticles.
To make better arrangement the
conceived the idea OF signaling frol
the top Of neighboring hill. by mr.
TO their trusty indian. who RENAME
al the springs. to bring the horse
and supplies. In those days the coui
try was overcrowded with antelop
and mustangs. Game was plentifI
and the meat supply was an eas
proposition.

Five seconds later, the doors of the
institution were overwhelmed with
visitors. On examining the damage
il was found that something with a
terrific momentum had hurled itself
through the glass and not wishing to
stop there, it sped still farther on un-

examining the inside of the office he
discovered a small steel blade, one
sixteenth of an inch thick, two inches
wide by four long, imbedded in the
woodwork. The small engine of de-
struction was extracted from its new
home and on holding a careful con
sultation, the sleuths agreed that il
belonged to motor car. The next
thing was to find the car.
Two gentlemen in dazed frame OF
mind, who had been sitting directly
under the pierced window, collected
themselves and told the detectives
that white machine backed up the
street about the same time that the
incident occurred. They also sug
gested that an investigation should
be made of the machine and ascertain
