WINGFiElD SPENDS
MONEY IN NEVADA

George Wingfield made million
in Nevada. particularly in Tonapah
and Goldfield. He is investing his
millions here instead of building
palaces abroad and backing foreign
corporations. No one knows even
approximately the amount Of money
he has invested in mines, banks, rail-
roads, lands. livestock and other lines
within the state, but 1t is safe to say
that it exceeds the investment of any
other person in Nevada. Now he pro
poses to take over the Nevada Sugar
Company. an institution representing
hundreds Of thousands of dollars in
initial cost and which, when operat.
ing, affords a market for many till

ONE ON BABBLER
At THE THEATER

How often Is the pleasure at the
theater, concert or movies spoiled
because somebody beside, behind or
near by has come to hear himself in
stead of the performance.
Have you noticed the increasing
number of people that think it smart
to show their detachment by talking
when others are listening.
Have you noticed that the man who
had heard the piece before"goes to
the theater more than ever in order
to repeat the lines or hum the tune
for the torment of those in his vicin.
ity?
Have you noticed that stealthy con-
tinued whispering in a theater Is as
bad or worse than talking aloud
that it blrs your understanding, OF
the actors in exactly the same way
that some one beside you waving a
white handkerchief would distract you
to madness II you were trying to
look at picture?
Some people talk at the theater
from vanity. Others when forced
to sit quiet must rattle their tongues
to relieve the echoing emptiness of
their heads. Still others talk simp-
ly because they are too selfish to
consider the feelings of people
around them.
For whatever reason they do it, all
those who habitually disturb their
neighbors with talk during play or
music are pests-Public pests OF
the worst sort
Some wag sent the above article
which was clipped from an exchange
through the mails to a certain loca
citizen recently. The idea. The i'm
port of the article could not possibly

SANTA DlckLE WILL
NOT APPEAR IN PlOCHE

Christmas will not seem what 1t
used to be in Phoebe this year. The
reason for this belief is that f. w.
Dickle, who has played the roll Of
Santa for many years has forsaken
us. His Christmas tree will become
conspicuous because of its absence.
At Bristol, however, he will light
en- the hearts of the young and old.
There he will bedeck his counte-
nance with the regulation Santa whis-
kers and preside at the biggest
Christmas tree ever seen in the camp
of Bristol. Many Phoebe kids will
miss him SUI enough.

early days Of the district. There is
a big ore body exposed in these
new workings which averages $40 to
the company after deducting freight

continuing on down and carries con-
