ORGANIZATION OF
GOOD ROADS CLUB
ESMERALDA JOINS OTHER COUN.
TIES IN WORK FOR BET
TER HIGHWAYS

At the meeting of the Goldfield
Automobile club, the Esmeralda
board of highway commissioners and
the representatives of the Los An
geles chamber of commerce, w. w.
Pedder and D.. K. Parker. in the Of
flee of Chas. G.. Patrick yesterday
afternoon it was urged that an or
g%anization be formed which shall
have for its object the improvement
of roads in Esmeralda county and
in particular the improvement of
that part of the highway between
Los Angeles and Salt Lake which
passes through the county. The
movement is not confined to Esmer-
aida alone, practically all of the
counties between Inyo county, Cali
fornia, and White Pine county, Neva-
da having adopted similar organi-
cations as the result of the efforts
of the Los Angeles boosters who
have travelled by auto from Los
Angeles to Salt Lake in a successful
endeavor to stir up interest in good
roads.
The Esmeralda county good roads
association, the title given to the
local branch of the movement, will
cooperate with other counties along
the Los A~ngeles-Salt Lake route, and
with the object of effecting a more
general and central organization, en-
bracing the entire movement as a
whole, delegates from each of the
various county good roads associa-
tions will hold a convention in To-
nopah or Goldfield at a date in the
near future. One particularly bad
stretch of road between Palmetto
and Oasis was brought to the atten-
tion of the board of highway COM
missioners, and when it was estimat-
ed that only a small amount would
be required to remedy that portion
of the highway the commissioners
readily pledged themselves to do the
work, promising to begin operations
Immediately. After spending the
night in camp the Californians, who
are being accompanied by their
wives on the trip, left this morning
by motor for Bishop, Calf, from
which town they will continue direct
to Los Angeles.

OLD CHERRY CREEK MAY
YIELD WEALTH AGAIN

If there are any pessimists in
Cherry Creek they are in hiding. A
satisfactory outcome of litigation
that has put a damper on the camp
for the last six months was effect
ed last Tuesday, when the Nevada
Star Mines company paid out $l2,-
600 to forty lien claimants and
freed the old-time silver properties
that have produced millions in the
past from legal complications, says
the White Pine News.
Since the principal corporation
hat is operating in the old silver
camp was able to meet it's obliga-
tons the atmosphere seems to be
surcharged with optimism. Every
body in the camp feels like ready
money"
The dominant factors in the Star
company at Leeds, England, have
passed the word across the ocean that
operations will be shortly resLned
on the mineral holdings at Cherry
Creek. Although the suspension Of
operations at the outbreak of the
war in Europe threatened to ~paralyze
the mining industry at Cherry Creek
the outlook for the future promises
to more than Offset any temporary
losses that were incurred.
Since it's discovery in the early
70's Cherry Creeks career has SIM
ply been a tale of one misfortune az
ter another. The downward trend in
the price of silver caused a large por-
ton of the population to seek more
prosperous chimes, but the faithful
one remained, hoping that through
some sort of necromancy the camp
might once more regain its pristine
glory.
The pioneers we're doomed to wait
for more than rs years before out
ploitation of the silver belt. The
Glasgow & Western Exploration
company purchased the Star and
Gray Eagle mines in 1897 and Gre
ated a boom of no small proportions.
Cherry Creek flutterd for a brief
period among the furnishing COM
munities and then lapsed into quie-
tude. The Scotch company did moth
ing for II years except keep the
main shaft free of water. With the
consolidation of the Glasgow & West
ern and the Nevada British COM
panies residents Of the once famous
community realized that the mining
prospects are more encouraging than
at any time since silver was selling
at par.

OPENING UP VEIN ON
FIRST WILLARD FIND

H. E. Downey of Willard, one of
the owner of the original strike on
the Honey Bee group at that camp,
came in last evening and returned
today. Mr.. Downey stated that they
had begun opening up the first vein
on which the first discovery was
made and that yesterday afternoon
they had broken into ore that pans
even better than hat of the vein
which created the excitement. Men
had already filled fifteen sacks be-
fore he left camp.
He said they had been busy in
building a wagon road to the ore and
that they had expected to make a
shipment of five tons in a couple of
days.-LovelOck Review-Miner.

Marriage Performed

1t became necessary for a mar
riage license to be secured by tele-
phone recently before Miss Clarice A.
Boegs of Ludwig, Lyon county, and
Fred L.. Waugh, a mining engineer
of Bingham, Utah, could be married.
The wedding guests had assembled
at Reno, where the nuptials were to
take place, when it was discovered
that a license could not be obtain
ed there because the bride resided
in another county and the groom was
not a resident of Nevada. A license
was secured by telephone from Ly-
on county.

LOCAL MAN is HEIR
TO VALUABLE LEGACY

Remembered by a friend whom he
had attended during a siege of ill
ness, Harold H. Evans of Goldfield
has received notice of a legacy, pro-
vided for in the will of H. H.
Windell of Pomona, Cal, who died at
that town late last week, leaving
Evans a sum of money estimated to
be between $4,000 and 100000. The

constituted a bonus for work actual
ly done by these men and was in
PAYMENT for their services.
Hoyt said that Whittemore sold
this stock OF the open market for &c
cents a share and pointed out that
if the Merger president had pos
sesscd prior knowledge of the rich
ore in the Velvet he would have held
or to the stock when Jumbo shares
Jumped. several months later, to
IA a share.
Sale of Jumbo Stock
In denying the plaintiffs allega-
ton that the 10000 shares of stock
received by the Merger on account
OF the Velvet sale was given away by
one of Wingfield's clerks. Hoyt said
that these holdings were disposed of
on the open market when it APP
reared that instead of going higher,
Jumbo would drop. Hoyt declared
that since the Merger control pass
ed tc the Consolidated. in 1911, the
former company had enjoyed the
benefit Of the latter company's best
engineering advice and skill and that
the Consolidated interest had proved
a noon, instead of a detriment, as
c%ontended. He declared that the
dual control had resulted in econo-
mics for the Merger and that in no
case had unwise or dishonest eX-
renditures been made.
Defendants presented their case on
aff:davits and were expected to close
about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
plaintiff rested late yesterday after
noon with the reading of the law on
