Miss Gertrude Macdonald Of the Halo
well school was the next witness.
why didn't you ask for new quarters
last winter instead Of for dance hall?"
asked the Governor.
Miss Macdonald was apparently little
chagrined at this and she answered
warmly that he was misinformed, that
the school had no meeting place. no
place where the girls might gather for
amusements. and that an assembly hall
and gymnasium such as had been asked
for from the last Legislature was great
~ needed. It's the stupidest place on
earth from September 1st to June Isl"

be done to provide wholesome recreation

New Company will
Work SilVGradO Mines

Ely Record: The Silverado Min
ing and Development Company has
filed articles of incorporation with
the Secretary of State, with Anthony
Zurich, Frank Brown and George
Baird as incorporators. The COM
pany is incorporated for 100. 900
shares of a par value of 81 each. 1t
is understood that the company was
organized for the purpose Of taking
over and operating the old Silverado
mine. located near Newark. in White
Pine County. which will be operated
under a bond and lease.
The property is owned by Thomas
F. Haley of Ely and the estate of the
late Governor R. Sadler. The mine
was a somewhat famous producer of
silver ore in former days. but has
been idle for a number Of years. 1t
was last operated under a. leasing
system for several years, and was
left in bad condition, but the work.
ings will be cleaned out and re-tim-
bered by the new company, after
which extensive development work
will be undertaken.

Old TybO Mine Is
Now Under Lease

The Ely Record is informed that
the 2-G mine of Tybo has been taken
over under lease by a strong syndi-
cate of Eastern capitalists, which will
soon resume operations on the prop
erty. The 2-G mine was worked ex-
tensively in former days. and has a
record of production amounting to
several million dollars. For a num-
Der of years past it has been owned
by the Bernheimer estate of New
York.
Before his death Mr.. Bernheimer
spent something like a half million
dollars in new development work.
during which time it is stated that
several hundred thousand tons of ore
of a commercial grade was demon
strated, and had he lived it is prob
able that the property would long
since have been a producer. The
property is located in the eastern
portion of Nye County. about mid
way between Ely and Tonopah, and
can be reached from either place
over good roads, but as the ore is
not of a sufficiently high grade to
stand transportation it is probable
that the new management will erect
a concentrating plant, after which it
will be transported by auto trucks
to either Ely or Tonopah for ship
ment to smelters.

For 8 already stated this offer
could not be considered.

For reason already stated this offer
could not be considered.
The Department has been ready
and willing at any time since the re-
building of the road to establish the
service under the laws and regula-
tions which apply uniformly to all
railroads, but cannot exceed the
amount of compensation allowed by
law. The compensation which MIR.
Sexton states he is prepared to &C
cept for the performance of this SER
vice by his railroad exceeds the maxi
mum paid for railroad service al
lowed by law; therefore the offer
cannot be considered.
Mr.. Sections theory that the De-
partment should pay his railroad as
high a price for service byit as the
Department is obliged to pay for an
inferior service by star route is
wholly untenable. There are few
places where the cost of carrying by
teams across the country would not
be more than the cost of railroad
transportation, but this is no sufi-
cient argument that all railroad rates
should be as high as such other rates.
Congress has properly provided the
maximum rates for railroad mail SER
vice and these are the rates which
Mr.. Sexton is contending we should
disregard.
The department has just received
a further communication from Mr..
Sexton with reference to this SER
vice, in which he indicates his will
ingness to perform the railroad mail
service with a frequency of three
times a week, provided certain agree
ments are made by the Department
in connection Herewith. This offer
is being considered and when a con-
clusion is reached Twill be glad to
advise you of the same.
Yours very truly.
