MOTOR CARS AND COUNTRY LIVING

Ten years ago the motor car came in
10 general use IN this country and, since
that tina. another reimbursement in pop
ulatio1 areas has been under way. This
tirle it has been a movement from su-
1urban communities out into the open
country. Families that had learned to
know the charm OF rura; life, through
its pailid approximation in the suburbs,
began to move out into the country on
small places Of an acre or two In ex-
tent. Real rural life, In this way, was
possible even for those who were tied
TO n city desk. But always bear In
mind that such a mingling Of city and
country was made possible purely and
simply Dy the sclf-propelled vehicle.
To-day, the urban worker resident In
the country, II perhaps two miles from
his railway station, can get there In ten
minutes, and with no more effort than
It required to walk a couple of blocks
to the subway. The s~elf-propelled We
hicle has knit the city and country to-
Rether in a way that was undreamed of
fifteen years ago.-Alexander Johnston

JAMES A. DONOVAN IS
HOST At DUCK SUPPER
SEVERAL FRIENDS ENJOY HIS
HOSPITALITY AT DOUBLE
FEAST

James A. Donovan, one Of the
pioneers of southern Nevada, last
night proved his right to the title of
perfect host when he gave a duck
supper to a number of his friends
at his place on Columbia street. The
supper, prepared by Mrs. A. C. Van,
was most excellent all the way from
soup to coffee and cigars, and there
were other features that added to
the general enjoyment. From the
very start the boosting spirit was
uppermost among the guests, and
as most of them have resided in this
camp since the very earliest days,
the "Goldfeld way" was the slogan
the best state in the union and
the best town in the state" as Mr..
Donovan so aptly put it.
The arrival of the L.. V. & T. train
from the south had to be awaited for
the piece de resistance of the ban
quet, and it was 10 o'clock when the
guests were seated. These included
Benjamin Rosenthal. L. l.. Patrick,
M. B. Aston, Frank e. Horton,
Jack MCGEE, l.. ]. Mcintosh and A.
c. White of Goldfield and G. Meow
ern and Abner B. Wallihan of Las
Vegas. In the course of the eve
ming each one present gave a talk on
some feature of the camp, the chief
notes of which were the good old
days and the pleasant outlook for
the future. MI. Donovan also gave
al inspiring recitation and Mr.. Nc
Intosh rendered a couple Of songs
most acceptably. A pleasant fea-
ture of the occasion were the songs
rendered by Miss Brooks, now ap-
pearing at the Exchange theater.
During the evening a telegram was
sent to l.. X. Koontz, whose alb
sence in San Francisco prevented his
being present. He was advised of
what he was missing-a feast of
food and a feast of oratory.

GOOD SPRINGS NOW
A LIVELY DISTRICT

Good Springs, New, correspond
ence in the Las Vegas Age under
date of Jan. 20, says:
There is a lively and increasing
demand for options on close in prop
erty near the famous Boss platinum
discovery. Numerous good payments
are being made cash down. for op
tons on choice ground.
A number of substantial buildings
are projected for Platina townsite,
including. four buildings which are
to be started on the four principal
corners this week.
Excellent values are being encoun-
tered by development work on the
Orc Amigo property one and one
half miles north of the Boss.
All storage space in the Boss mine
is now full of ore an dthe ore bin
and tramway are being overhauled
prepatory to the first shipment by
the new owners. 1t is whispered
among those who have some knowl-
edge that the value of this shipment

1t is stated by parties who, as a
rule, talk very little, that a branch
of the Santa Fee % miles long, ex-
tending from Ivanpan to Platina,
will be built within the next few
months.
Auto stage service has been es-
tablished between Jean on the Salt
Lake railroad and the new Platina
townsite. The fare is $3.50 for the
r%oundtrip.
A new corporation is in process of
incorporation to be known as the
Platinum Extension Mining company.

joining the Boss on the west. This
company intends to at once survey

RAISING MONEY
FOR HOSPITAL
GOLDFIELD WOMEN WILL TAKE
AN ACTIVE PART IN AID
ING SISTERS

A group of representative Gold
field women met in the parlors OF
the Goldfeld hotel yesterday and
took the initiative in a movement to
raise a fund of 100000 for the
erection and equipment of a public
general hospital for this camp. Be-
fore the conference adjourned the
ladies formed an organization, or
rather decided they would enlist a
great many other citizens in an or
g~anization, for the purpose OF con-
Quoting a short and quick campaign
to raise the money.
Not all of the ladies who have
volunteered to do what they can
were present yesterday, but tele-
phones have been busy since the
meeting, and those who are taking
an active part in the work are
Mesdames Sprague, Manning, Fitz-
gerald, Kendall, Howe, Cushion,
Reddington, Tenant, Smith, Simp-
son, Mccarthy, Odds, Turner, Dun
ham, Tucker, Sullivan, Clapp. Ros-
enthal. Hunt, Elliott, Wilson, Gill
fillen, ~Dannenberg. Friedman ard
others.
This paper announced Thursday
that Mother Agnes and the sisters
had purchased a piece of property
Immediately north of and adjoining
the present st. Mary's hospital, and
on this wished to erect a general
hospital. The situation necessitat-
ing this, as most Goldfeld people
long have known, is that the present
St. Mary's hospital must always give
ually demand all of the present
beds. There has been, thus far, no
local provision for general camp
cases other than mine cases. Very
needy cases have often been denied
hospital admission because of the
lack of room.
The necessity of relief from this
condition appeals most strongly to
the women, and with a view to max
ing the proposed new general hospi-
tai an immediate possibility, the wo-
men will organize from sixty to
SSNChty-hNC WolISH AhSo Soh' .
teams and will ask the leading men
of the camp to do the same. After
the committees have been organized
meetings of the committees will be
held daily and luncheons will be
served those engaged in the canvass
ing. At the luncheon meetings re-
ports will be made and progress dis
cussed. 1t is believed that the en-
tire fund will be raised within one
week.
Old Union hall on Main street
will be fitted up and made cozy for
the headquarters and luncheon hall
of the campaign. A caterer will be
placed in charge of the culinary end
of the work and an office corps i'm
media+ely will start the work OF
making the clerical preparation. The
organization of the mems division of
the work will start in a day or two.
