Chairman Hunt of the California
state fish commission arr we'd last
Tuesday to inspect the Verdi hatch
cry of the Nevada fish commission,
and in company with Commissioners
Miller, Mills and O'Brien, he was

FORMER DELAMAR
NAN IN ACCIDENT
L. +. Edwards Sustains Injuries
In California Which Termi-
nate Fatally.

The following, from the Tonopah
Times, will be of local interest:
Mrs. T. ]. Lynch yesterday re-
ceived wire from Oakland announc
ing the death of her father, T. E.
Edwards. The deceased, who was
we'll known in Tonopah, received in
juries in a runaway accident near
st. Helena last Sunday that result
ed in his death.
Mr. Edwards, who was about 5S
years of age, was one of the pioneer
merchants of Tonopah. His mining
ventures in southern Nevada had
brought him a fortune, a large part
of which he invested in coast prop
critics. Mrs. Lynch departed for the
California city yesterday"
The deceased formerly resided in
Lincoln county. having conducted a
mercantile business at Delamar for
number OF years. He left Delamar
to go to Tonopah shortly after the
discovery of that camp by Jim But.

YOUTHFUL VANDALS In
1. o. q. +. CEMETERY


Two youthful vandals performed
their work with vengeance down
at the l. o. o. F.. cemetery last
Sunday.
The lads seemed to find a whole
lot of enjoyment in deliberately de-
molishing the ornaments from off a
number of headstones by throwing
rocks at them. AS a result of their
pranks the greater injury was no
doubt done to the Carman and Nes-
ibitt headpieces, one of which had
been in a perfect state of preser-
walton for 81 years.
Such youngsters need severe
chastisement and made to under
stand the first laws of decency and
that the graves of the dead are not
to be desecrated in any such man
ner; that the cemeteries were not
set apart as playground for the
small boy to commit acts of van
dalism of the worst sort at their
will

now commands SO and $50 a pound
An investigation of the high pric-
es for tungsten apparently shows
that once again we are paying the
price of not providing preservation
for our infant industries by a protec-
tive tariff. Prior to the embargo
upon this metal tungsten mining
was not profitable. To contend with
foreign producers, 1t was often nec-
essary to sell the ore as low as S.
so per unit. Before 1913 there was
a slight tariff upon this metal, but
in that year, although Colorado min
ers strived to secure the retention of
the tariff, 1t was discontinued. Con-
sequently the tungsten industry was
in very bad way when war was
declared, and was therefore slower
in responding to the demands upon
it.

yield IL pounds Of tungstic acid per
unit, or 1900 pounds to the ton, ac-
cording to the Denver Mining Rec
ord. If price of $50 per unit is
quoted for so per cent concentrates
and the yield when refined is 70
per cent, the mine receives $50 for
each per cent, or 20 pounds of tung-
site acid in the shipment, or $4,000
for the ton.
Previous to the war so per cent
tungsten concentrates sold below 50

ly since the embargo. prices have
advanced rapidly and fiuctuated con-
siderably. Such concentrates have

DOPE FIENDS ENTER
INTO A SUICIDE PACT

George Ham, a town character
or Tuscarora, recently shot and
killed his wife as the result of a
suicide pact. After shooting his
wife, he placed the muzzle of the
gun to his own head and pulled
the trigger. The gun kicked and
the bullet went through the roof
of the building. His courage then
deserted him and he threw himself
on the bed by the side Of his wife,
and when found was moaning and
crying and had the body in his
arms. Both were drug fiends and
when the present drastic law went
into effect, were unable to obtain
opiates and both have suffered
agonies, the result of which was
the shooting. Ham was arrested
and will have to stand trial.

WILL DRILL FOR WATER
IN WHITE RIVER VALLEY

At the adjourned meeting OF the
Monday last it was decided to con-
tinue drilling for water with the
countys drilling plant at the site Sc
pected by the board year ago, which
is only a few miles distant from the
town of Preston in White River val
ley. The work will be commenced
just as soon as a competent man can
be secured to take charge of the drill
ing plant. The county had pretty bad
luck in it's operations as. year, which
was generally supposed to be due to
the lack of experience on the part of
the operator.-Ely Record.

The Ninth Annual ConvocatiOn of
the Missionary District of Nevada
met in Elko, May IL, l3 and IA. At
the first service the bishop read his
annual address, reviewing the work
of the past year On the whole the
report indicated there had been prog
ress in every direction and there is
the promise of steady advance in
the coming year.
Among his other recommendations
Bishop Hunting said that he thought
the time had come for some definite
step by the christian people of Ne
vada in the direction of a bettering
of moral conditions by regulation OF
the liquor traffic, as well as by a
more carefully drawn divorce statute.
For himself he thought that the
church people of Nevada, especially
the clergy, should put themselves
back of an attempt to place these two
questions before the voters o. Ne
vada at the next general election. by
means of an initiative petition. He
favored statewide prohibition of the
liquor traffic and divorce statute
which will provide for an interlocu.
tory decree.

billing clerks are in pretty much of
rush all the time. San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake, requires quite
"a few strokes of the pen and the
clerks are inclined to take all the
short cuts possible. One Of the best
known short cuts is to use initials
instead of names, as frequently as
possible. s. p, l.. A. & s. L. makes
rather an awkward bunch of letters
to string out with a pen that is work
ing overtime, so the clerks fell into
the habit of eliminating the last
four letters in routing by way of the
Salt Lake Route, leaving just the
initials IS. p" AS a result a great
deal of business Is said to have been
diverted from the Salt Lake Route
to the Southern Pacific.
In other instances the passengers
have gone over one road and the
baggage over the other and trouble
without end resulted BY erasing
the old name from the guides and
stationery and substituting the
name Salt Lake Route" instead,
1t is hoped by the officials of the
road that great deal of the con-
fusion will be eliminated.
After properly heading all the sta
tionery the officers of the company
wish next to have everybody call
the road by the new name.-Trib-

Con. NcV9da-Utah
Mil Gives Good Results

After the breakdown last week,
which necessitated the stopping of
work for four days, the Consolidat-
ed Nevada-Utah mill has been grind
ing away steadily all af this week
and doing better work than at any
time since the plant was placed in
commission. This has been accom-
plished after making some altera-
tions, which is usually the case
when new machinery is being tried
out and properly tuned up.
The mill has been taking care of
from 55 to 60 tons of ore per day;
the grade of zinc concentrate being
turned out is good, carrying silver
values of much better grade
than was anticipated. The iron-lead
concentrate is not so desirable ow-
ing to the presence of considera-
BILE quantity of zinc; but the amount
in the latter is gradually being :e-
duced and made less Objectionable
IL is matter OF only little Wnlle
until metallurgy will solve this prob
;em effectively.
At the present time from 20 to
ch tons per day of ore is goin.. di-
rect from the mine to the mill !;
the balance coming from the
mill. the balance .oming from the
stock pile on the dump which was
ing days. Only one shift of men
is working in the mile now and ev-
cry thing has been bIough. down to
a routine and economical working
basis.

tempted to commit an outrage. In
the scuffle following, the won.an's
clothes were tern into strips by the
fiend, who later wrapped his victim
up in blanket and carried Ter

Railroad Company
Changes Official Name

The San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt Lake railroad Is to be renamed
in honor of one of the two most i'm

management it has been officially des
ignated as the salt Lake Route. /"
For years past the road has been
designated as the salt Lake Route
by the passenger trafiic department.
and it was at the suggestion of T. c.
Peck, general passenger agent, that
the name has been adopted by the
management of the road The old
name is to be dropped entirely and
salt Lake Route" is to appear at
the head of all company stationery.
By many persons, particularly
throughout the east, the road is gen.
orally known as the San Pedro"
Traffic officials argue that San Pedro
is ze of the smaller towns on the
line, therefore, the name, as applied
to the road, is Insignificant, while
Salt Lake is one of the two most
important towns, the eastern termi-
nus of the line. and the town en-
titled to such recognition and the
publicity that naturally would fol-
low. Anyway. salt Lake" is far
more distinctive
