AWAKENING DISTRICT
is BEING AWAKENED

B.. f. Barbour of Birmingham,
Ala, and DR.. N. r. Shackelford Of
Nashville, Tenn, have been in Win
nemucca several days. They and
other capitalists of the southern
cities have acquired the interest Of
the Awakening Mining and Milling
company in what is generally
known as the Scott and Vaughan
mining property in Awakening dis
trict, 25 miles northwest of Win
nemucca. Following an examination
of the property by Charles Lane,
a well-known geOlogist and metal
lurgist, the new wne have de-
cided to do further development
work, which will be started at
once. A shaft which the former
wner sunk on the ledge to a
depth of 200 feet is to be sent down
another 100 feet and if vein and
values continue as in the upper
workings a mill is to be installed.
This is a gold property, the orig
inal discovery in the district. 1t
is in close proximity to the d. & c..
Mining company's property, which
is equipped with a mill.-Humboldt

NEW STRIKE MADE IN
THE SURPRISE AT JARBTDGE

A new strike has been made on
the Surprise group of claims, which
are located near the top of Bon
anza ridge and not far from rha
Ajax claim on which Hedges and
Donaghue opened a two-foot vein
last year, says the Elko Free Press.
The Surprise claims are owned by
J. G. Dufner, who made the discov-
cry about two weeks ago on what
appears to be the apex of an ore
chute. Dufner has u in a cut
or the vein and has a depth Of
about Is feet in the face and the
vein has widened out in the bot
tom to three feet wide of good
ore with some .h~igh-grade spots
which show the free gold very
plainly. An assay of some of this
high-grade ore gave returns of over
$4,000 per ton. An assay of a
sample across three feet gave re-
turns of $2.20 silver and $148.54
gold per ton.

ClOudburst Near GOOdSprinoS

Last Thursday G~oodsprings wit
messed a mighty cloudburst which
SEN a huge wall of water rolling
down from Potosi mountain, passing
around the town to the east. Had
the. flood taken a slightly different
course and struck the town, there
would have been nothing left of
it. The wagon and auto roads out
of Goodsprings are almost totally
destroyed, auto travel being impos-
sible. The Yellow Pine narrow
gauge railroad is washed out in
half a dozen places. The disaster
will be a severe blow to the min
ing town, it's prosperity depending
entirely on the shipping of ore.

PROGRAM
BEING ARRANGED
MATHEWS ENTERS PROMOTION
BUSINESS AND WILL HIM
SELF FIGHT la GRAVE

A fight program, to be staged on
the night of August IL, is now De-
ing arranged by Danny Mathews,
who will combine fighting and fight
promoting on that night as he will
individually promote the card and
himself enter the ring for a 10
round contest with Antoine La
Grave.
1t is not generally known that
Mathews and Rainier were part
ners in the promotion of all the
fights recently held under the aus
pices of the "Goldfeld Athletic
Club, but such was the case and
the pair have now split and
Mathews has entered the business
alone.
AS the main event of his first
venture he will have himself and
Antoine La Grave appear for 10
rounds. Mathews has heretofore
refused to fight La Grave over four
rounds, but he now states that as
he wants to make his initial entry
into the promoting game a success,
he will take on La Grave over the
longest route the law allows.
In addition to the 10-round main
event, he will have four Around
preliminaries. making 26 rounds for
the entire program.
The first preliminary will be be-
tween Kid Carter, a 215-pound
cClOred porter at a local hotel. and
Soldier Bell, a 200 pound man from
the Chicago stockyards.
Dick Trounce and Red Howard,
Johnny Morrison and Curley Bax-
ter of Ely and Battling Dupont and
Joe Mcdonald, who fought Frank
Barney some months ago, will make
up the balance of the show.

NEVADA UNIVERSITY
STARTS FREE MARKET
ROYS AND GIRLS GIVEN BUSi-
NESS OPPORTUNITY AT
YERINGTON

AS a direct result of THE Agri-
cultural Extension work of the Uni
v~ersity of Nevada, boys and girls en-
rolled in the course, have estab-
lished at ~Yerington. a free market.
Aided by the civic department OF
the Women's club, twelve stands
have been erected and a free
market is conducted every Satur-
day morning 10 to II.
Parker house rolls, bread, cot
tage cheese are offered for sale, ard
sold, by the Home Economics girls,
while the boys and girls of the
Animal Husbandry and Gardening
clubs find a ready market for their
lettuce, onions, radishes, rhubarb,
and other products of the farm and
garden.
That the free market is not an
experiment is shown by the fact
that one child in one day totalled
$500 from the sale of pansies
and cheese.
Mrs. r. l.. Waggoner, chairman
of the work, in her report to the
club states, THE Junior free market
promises to be of lasting benefit
to the young people of our COM
munity, and much credit is due the
university for the work being done
by them.
