ROCHESTER HEAVY
CONSUMER OF JUICE
Special to the Silver state)


LOVELOCK, New, July 20.-With
5000 horsepower available, Rochester
is at present the biggest customer of
the Nevada Valleys Power company,
taking total Of 500 out of the 600
horsepower that the company is now
furnishing to Rochester, Lovelock, Ha-
zen and Fallon OF this 500 the mill of
the Rochester Mines company is using
about 215 horsepower, the balance be-
ing consumed by the hoists and COM
pressors on Rochester Hill and the
lighting of the upper and lower towns.
The Nevada Packard Mining COM
pany has contracted for 200 horsepower
for the new mill now under construc-
ton at Packard, and work was started
today on the line by the power com
pany. This branch takes off from the
main line at the substation near the
Rochester mill and runs straight across
the hills three and half miles TO
Packard. Tt is estimated that it Will
take about three weeks to complete
this line.
In addition line has been surveyed
to Willard, according to General Su-
perintendent Joseph Beane. and mate
rial has been ordered that they may be
ready at a days notice to put in \
line to furnish power for the new gold
camp, and for a mill which may soon
be started.
The Nevada Valleys Power company
is one Of this state most recent enter
prises, deriving its power from the La
hontan dam reclamation project On
April Is high-po line SO mile in
length was completed from Lahontan
to Rochester and in addition a 16-mile
line now runs to Fallon. The company
has an effective range of 200 miles, and
it is probable that any mining camps
or other enterprises showing perma-
neney within that radius viii soon be
receiving power from that source. That
Winnemucca should be on this line Is
possibility of the future and the Star
Peak mining district may also come in
for a share of the "iuice.'
With 5000 horsepower available at
sIahontan and more than as much again
capable of development at the compa.
nv's site on the Truckee below Reno,
this company should be able to sup
ply all demands for years to come.

Other winnemucca Mountain Properties

Half way between the Rexall and
Bonanza mines, are situated six claims
owned by the Saunders brothers
Frank. James and George. These bro
theirs also own the Dolcoath group, ly-
ing a short distance to the west of
Rexall Here a large amount of devel-
oDment work has been done, they hav-
ing attained the greatest depth of any
mine on the hill They also have a
thousandfoot tunnel, and now that the
PRELIMINARY work has been completed,
they will commence mining ore.
On this side of the mountain, a short
distance from the Bonanza, J. d. Var
gas and A. L. Wagner own several
promising claims, which are being slow
" developed.
Nearly the entire west half of the
mountain, on this side. is owned by
corporations, for which #. O. Robins is
the resident manager. Some of these
properties have been producing for the
past forty years

MISTAKES WILL OCCUR

A dissertation on errors, tvpograph-
ieal and otherwise, by E. f. Kelley in
the Toronto (Kansas) Republican:
Every week the paper-this paper
or any other paper-has typographical
errors; and there is always someone
ready to laugh mirthlesslv over it and
hold the paper up to scorn and say a
blacksmith could do a better job with
both hands tied, and proceed to bawl
the editor out publicly. And the editor
being meek in spirit and lowly, grins
a sun grin as if he liked it. because he
knows the utter futilitv of explaining
Then he goes back to the shop and
bites a nail in two to relieve his feel
ings; and finally wonders how his tor
mentors would feel should he turn
critic and point out the typographical
errors, so to speak, in the makeup of
the hilarious ones.
"Furrinstance Hon Jehu Junkins
shaves himself, and last Sunday ap-
peared at church with patch of un-
shaven whiskers under the angle of his
Jaw the size of grown man s thumb
Sis Stiggins had her hat on crooked
and the shoestring of her switch show
ed through what little real hair she has
left. The underskirt of the belle of the
village hung on one side full inch
below the bottom of her dress; Amri
Toots, one of our best known city
gents, walked down the aisle with a
long raveling hanging to his coattail /;
old Ebenezer Stone had blacked his
shoes until he could see his reflection
in them, while his shoe heels had not
had treatment since he bought them
last summer. Billy b. Darn, who ordi-
narily doesn' t give three whoops for
anything and doesn t care who knows
it, blushed rosy red when, walking
with his best girl, he produced wash
rag from his pocket instead of hand
kerchief; Miss Peachie Peacherino
who is risin' 80 and nearsighted, watt
ed kiss to travelling man getting
on the train, under the impression that
it was her brother, who departed from
our midst ON the same common carrier.
As the poet remarked, we are all
poor critters and prone to errors of
makeup even as the sparks fly upward
and all good and true editors, instead
of impaling the kit and bundle on his
harpoon to get good and even once for
all, will again next week smile his fee
bic sungrin when he is publicly roast
ed, and let it go at that. An editor
hasn't Z much sense anyway. That s
why he is an editor.

TAKES ANOTHER
Chance AND LOSES

last night the authorities received
talaOraphic instructions to arrest Will
liam Chance. accused of uttering bad
checks in Battle Mountain, and to hold
him until the authorities of that town
could come and get him. McMurtrey
started out to find him, and finally To-
Gated man whom be thought was the
William Chance wanted, at the Mayer
hotel But the man at the Mayer was
reported to be very seriously i'll with
a broken knee cap and had so far es-
capped suspicion by staying in his room
apparently i'll, and by having trained
nurse to attend him and thus giving
out the opinion that he was very seri-
ously i'll.
Chance, suspecting something, made
an attempt TO escape from the hotel
and to get away from the watching
men. IT was funny to see how quickly
the game leg 'eame back Chance
seemed to have forgotten his injuries
IN his haste to get away from the ho-
tel, and had not then officers been on
the alert, the chances are that Chance
would have taken a long chance and
risked bullet, but before he could
get well eharted the officers had him
on the way to the county bastile and
to-day Chance says that his game leg is
"a bad as ever. Probably he wants TO
lie put into the hospital but he will
have to content himself with the Har-
ris hotel where he will be cared for
until the authorities from Battle Noun
tain come and get him.-Elko Free

THE CHRISTENING
OF REBEL CREEK

Virginia Illinois, July Is, 1915.
10 the Silver State:
Winnemueea, Nevada:
You have a place in your county
named "Rebel Creek. - / do not sup
pose there is a person living in Hum
boldt county that knows how the
creek - got its name. ] can tell you.
In about 1864, Billy Westerfeld was
running an express from Star City
via the French Bridge (now Winnie
mucea) to Boise, Idaho He engaged
me, then county surveyor for Hum
boldt county, to go up to point near
the Idaho line, to survey a tract of
land for station and ranch. We fin
ished the survey in the evening and
started on our return home. After trav-
cling about Is miles we went into
camp at a nice little stream of water
that came down from the mountains
living to the eastward. The next morn
ing while boiling our coffee, a lone
horseman came ridinc down from the
north. He informed us he was in pur-
suit of a horsethief who had stolen
several ponies from his ranch in Ida
no. We invited him to share our slim
repast with MS, which he seemed quite
willing to do, after an all-night ride.
During our breakfast an argument con
cerning the merits of the war then m
progress between the states got start
cd Billy was native of Tennessee, and
Jeff Davis Democrat. 7 was a son cf
Illinois and an Abe Lincoln Republi-
can. The argument had not proceeded
far before our guest proved as ardent
secessionist as my friend Billy. The
meal finished, or rather the grub, and
evidently getting the worst of the
argument, got up brushed the sand
from my trousers and remarked, % All
right, boys; I see you are bound to
have II vour wav. and TO commemorate
your liking for Jeff Davis and his
cause we will call this Rebel Creek
They agreed to II with a "Ha, hai'
and Rebel Creek its name has been
ever since
Just at that time Mr. Perkinson, my
partner in business, surveying and en-
gineering, and myself were collecting
aata for a map of Humboldt county.
and which was afterwards published
by Cotton & CO., of New York. On
that map we put down the name,
"Rebel Creek
T think the creek is about 80 miles
north of Winnemucca, on the road to
Boise The ranch ] surveyed for Billy
has since been called Ft. McDermitt.
read in the papers that nice little
town is there now, with a bank and
all the accessories of business pertain
ing to a live, thrifty community, and
NJ "Rebel Creek 7 read there is a
live, up-to-date center Of trade. NV
wish certainly is that both places may
continue to grow and prosper.
You NAV remember few weeks ago
I had the pleasure of meeting the edi
tor and publisher of the Silver State at
the Eldorado in Winnemucca, and I
was pleased to see Winnemueca a
thriving up-to-date little city
believe informed Won that 7 was
the first surveyor that ever stretched
chain on one of its streets. When
there, looked, found the French
Bridge gone. but found a structure in
its place that would be a credit TO an
older and much larger city Nav all
good things in the wav of business and
prosperity come to her.
Yours truly,

CLARK sloan, 81,
DIES LAST NIGHT
Father Of Mrs. A. w.
Troupe Had Lived Here
for More Than Is Years.

Clark Sloan, for the past Is years
a resident of Pine Bluff, died at Cos
O'Clock yesterday evening, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. A, w.
Troupe.
Mr.. Sloan's death was NOT unex-
pected, as he has been in declining
health for year or more past, and
his condition has been considered
critical the past week. The infirmi-
ties of age brought him into his final
sleep, at the age of 81 years.
Mr.. Sloan was native of Lansing,
Mich, where the family had made its
home century or more. He came to
Pine Bluff eighteen years ago, how
ever, and has since made his home
here with his daughters, Mrs. Troupe
and Mrs. w. F. Baume. In addition
to the daughters, he leaves q son,
Curtis Sloan, of Lansing, and a
nephew, Bert Sloan, Of Texarkana,
conductor on the Cotton Belt.
During his residence in Pine Bluff,
Mr.. Sloan became known to many
residents fthis city. and was very
we'll liked and highly respected. Ee
was a member of the Masonic order.
The body was shipped at midnight
last night to Lansing, where the fun
eral services and interment will be
held. Mrs. Troupe accompanied the
body to Michigan.
