.ELKO TEAM LOSES
TO MONTELLO
(By the sporting Editor)

(By tne sporting EultOr)
A wandering tribe of players pre-
scented the Shakespeare classic, The
Comedy of Errors in sand swept field
nj Montelio yesterday afternoon. And
be IL said to their credit that they
were stars in every particular. For
sooth 1t was not ball game we speak
OF, but rather n case of nerves over
worked. To get to the point Montello
won a ball game, and Elko watched
them win it, They were mighty good
watchers at that and when the shade
OF twilight was lowering around the
Montello round house the local boys
had gathered one run which wasn't
enough, and far from it. Montello had
eleven which by all the laws of arith.
mcthic is a ten run lead.
There was one ball player on the Ell
His name was Schildman, a new COM
er. This boy Schildman stood on the
mound and held the hard hitting Mon
tcllo boys to two measly hits, and
measly is the term to use. He famed
eleven men, and to round up a good
days work hit in the only run for the
locals.
Tracy was the stumbling block for
the locals. Whether or not he is a
relative OF Harry Tracy or not, we can
not state, nevertheless, he was some
robber. He helped materially to make
Elko look sick, by sending sixteen
men back to the bench. Tracy had
everything Sunday, and his "knuckle"
ball was working in good shape. When
Ellio hit the ball 1t was at the wrong
time, and after the first inning II was
MontGllo all the way.
The Summary.
First inning-Montello, one hit, five
Elko errors, four runs. Elko-Noth-
ing doing. Second and third innings
Schildman famed six Montello boys.
Strike outs to the seventh inning, with
Il few hits by Elko. Montello scored
seven runs in one inning on about
six or ten errors and one hit. The
names OF those making errors would
look like a list in the city directory.
they came here is to kidnap Tracy.
1t will help lot. Elko had to use
an outGelder for a catcher as the local
baCkstops had TO remain in town.

LARGE AMOUNT OF FISH

Seventy applications for distribu-

the state game and fish commission.
Distribution of fry will be started
about July l. Spawn taking was fin
ished two weeks ago in the Truckee
river and at Mar1ette lake. Commits
sioner Mills says spawn is becoming
very scarce. The commission now
has on hand for distribution 100000
black spotted trout spawn and fry,
10000 rainbow, one million eastern
brook and 100000 silver salmon. The
silver salmon fry is for distribution
in the lakes of the state but some

GOLD FROM THE
LYNN DISTRICT

w. E. Barney is up from Carlin on
business trip. He is still working
steadily on his placer property at Gold
vile, in the Lynn district, and he has
with him a sack of gold dust which
weighs about two hundred and fifty
dollars, the fruits of his last clean
up. Mr.. Barney says that on account
of lack of water 1t has been necessary
for him to do most of his work this
year with the dry method.
Goldville has been given about as
little publicity as any mining camp
in the state, but it is there with the
goods. Every few weeks Mr.. Barney
comes to Elko with his pockets bulg
ing with fine yellow metal which he
exchanges for coin of the realm, but
he Is one of those quiet sort of fellows
who never lets his right hand know
what his left Is doing, and only few
suspect that he generally comes with
a well filled pouch OF gold. If one
OF the camps of the state were produc.
Ing the gold that Goldville yearly pro-
duces the fact would be heralded in
ever paper in the west. The miners
Of that place are satisfied, however,
