NET ARTISTS PREPARE
FOR COMING CONTEST
DANCING AND A PRELIMINARY
GAME ARRANGED FOR
FRIDAY

A full squad of net snaps will
be out this evening and for tho
next three days preparing for the
contest on Friday night with the
fast aggregation of basket shooters
from Tonopah. The local team
maintains a good physical trim
throughout the season and is easily
whipped into shape for a game. Tho
squad has played together for the
past five years and the system OF
team work developed mas spelled
defeat for innumerable teams over
the state.
The lads of the high-school AMI
several other basket sharps Will p.?y
a preliminary game to furnish 4
curtain raiser for the final game of
the evening. The two teams will
the league tournament. The boys
practice every evening after school
at the gym. These quintets will
put up a fast game and have devel-
oped considerable speed and abilir.Y
in handling the ball. The teams
will be Independent of the high
school league.
Coach Turner has been expert
menting for some time on the best
means to employ in establishing the
rudiments of the game in the minis
of the school squad and has hit
upon the scheme of giving them
practice games every evening. This
system developes self-reliance in the
new player and forces him to think
for himself and to learn how to
get out of a tight place when he is
cornered. Familiarity with the ball
and with teammates in actual COM
petition does more to develop Il
finished player tta.; all the black
boards and individual practice pos
sible under any system of coaching.
The two games and the dance will
be the amusements offered by the
town team on Friday evening. ut

STRIKE OF IMPORTANCE
HAS BEEN MADE

High grade free milling gold ore
in a territoy where it was y
thought pay rock of such worth
would be encountered, has been
struck in the Sheepherder's Dream
mine at Willard" says l.. . Kali
ser, who has a lease on the proper
ty. He says the crosscut tunnel
in which the unexpected values
were encountered, is nearing the
main vein. This belief is based up
on the fact that the hard formation
is growing softer.
How high in gold the ore found
in the tunnel will run is not
known" he said. 1T is SO rich that
the native gold can be seen with
the naked eye. The tunnel is in
about so feet. 1t is being driven
from the hillside to interesect the
shaft. The latter is down AZ feet
on the vein, with a vertical depth
of AZ feet. The shaft will be sunk
deeper to connect with the tunnel,
which has to be driven 80 feet
further to meet the p%rospected bot
tom of the shaft"
Mr.. Kaiser says the considerable
surface prospecting On his lease
shows the vein system to be of con-
siderable length and very strong.
I'VE feel very much encouraged
by the conditions brought about by
the development work of the last
week or 10 days." he added. THE
bottom of the shaft shows remark
able values in free gold. The dis
covery of rich values in the breast
of the tunnel, where we hardly ax-
pected to encounter such returns,
convinces me that with more devel-

STORMS ARE OF
GREAT BENEFIT
DESERT SIZES HEAVIEST SNOW
OF RECENT YEARS; SLEIGH
ING IN GOLDFTELD

-
Cattle owners of southern Neva-
da. and of this district particularly
are rejoicing owe the heavy snow
fall, which was general throughout
the entire state. The fall OF tf
past week will insure plenty O.
ter for the early spring grass. How
ever, spring rains will be necessary
for the growth of the heavy bunch
grass, which comprises the chief
diet of the range cattle of southern
Nevada.
Jake Humphrey. in a recent in
terview, stated that the last heavy
snowfall as one of the biggest piec-
es of luck that had befallen cattle
men of this vicinity in several years.
He stated that the best of the
bunch-grass left at this late season
was out on the sandy stretches, far
from the regular water courses, ana
that the long distances travelled by
the cattle to and from water
meant a serious loss in weight.
The cattle, he stated, as a result
of the recent heavy snowfall, would
not need to leave the feedine
grounds for water, since the snow
furnished a perfectly good substf-
tute. n many parts of this vicinity
over a foot of snow has fallen and,
unless a warm, dry wind I'M up,
it gives promise of staying for
some time. The decided drop in
temperature which is general
throughout the state. will prevent
an early thaw and the snow will
remain for a much longer time
tina nit ould otherwise.
The desert has been in nee1 of
moisture all fall, and the month Of
December was scarcely better than
the three preceding months, wheI
the official weather man reported
hardly a trace of precipitation. The
recent SHOWS have not been suffi
cient to cause a loss to stock or the
necessity for winter feeding in this
vicinity, as has been the case in
the northern part of the state.
where the SHOWS are so heavy that
range grass has been entirely aoe-
cred by several feet of snow. This
state of affairs is particularly true
in the high valleys in the Sierras,
where a much heavier fall of snow
was reported than on the eastern
the southern deserts.
Sleigh-bells jingled in the air IN
and down Goldfield streets for the
first time in several years last eve
ming. A number of parties were,
out in various improvised cutters
and bob-sleds last evening enjoy
ing the unusual winter sport
sleigh riding on the desert.
sport can be fully enjoyed for som"
time to come, according to the
weather forecast, which states that
cold snaps will ge general through
out the state for the next few days.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. H.
Ex-President Taft in a formal state
ment, makes the point. that the rep
re~sentatives of the business inter-
ests of the country are giving their
support to the proposals of the
league to enforce peace, of which
he is president. Mr.. Taft also COM
mends the idea of a league of
American republics which was put
forth last week at the pan-Ameri-
can congress. as one which looks
toward the creation of a worldwide
league of nations, such as is con
templated By the Taft league.
Mr.. Taft's particular reference is
10 the referendum vote of the cham
Ter Of commerce of the United
States, which was in favor of a
plan for the establishment of a
permanent world peace at the close
Of the present European war. This
plan in it's essential features is
Identical with that of the league to
enforce peace. Mr.. Taft's state
ment in full, follows:
The vote of the chamber of COM
merce of the United States in ia
vor of the proposal to put economic
and milita.y pressure behind inter
rational arbitration treaties, which
has just been announced from
Washington, pledges the hearty
support Of a great body of A,1eri-
can business men to a definite and
rational Man looking toward the
establishment of - Eanent T.rid
peace at the close Of the pr. sent
European war. The 2S2 commercial
bodies, constituent members of the
national chamber, which spoke in
this referendum, represent every
portion Of the United States and
must be taken as expressing the
judgment of the business interests
Of the country.
These business organizations by
their vote declared that they wish
to see an international conference
held for the purpose of defining
and enunciating adequate rules for
the protection of life and property
en- the high seas; that they favor
the establishment of an ~interna-
tional judicial court for the deter
mination of justificiable questions,
and of a council of Cancellation for
non-justiciable questions; that they
wish to have the United States en-
ter into an agreement with other
nations to bring concerted econo-
mic pressure to bear upon any ono
CT their number which might re-
sort to military measures against
another nation without first sub
hitting it's difference to the court
or the council, and if economic
pressure was not sufficient to com-
pei the offending nation to desi5t
from it's attack, to use concerted
military force in compelling it to
desist; and finally, that they want
to see frequent international cou-
%ferences held for the progressive
amendment of international law.
AS these proposals are in sub
stance practically identical with the
pIc torn adopted by tie league ,"
enforce peace, in its conference
held at Philadelphia, in Independ-
ence hall, last June, the officers
of the league are deeply gratified
by the overwhelming endorsement
that has been given to them. The

LEAGUE PROGRAM F.
SET FORTH BY MR.. TAFT

, ais, both of the national chamber
and of the league, is that the
! sanction of the economic pressure
and of military force shall be put
behind an international agreement
for peaceful settlement. The at
tainment of international peace has
been the dream of centuries, but
il can not be more than a dream,
Gniii a way is found OF putting The
collective power of the nations be-
hind an agreement to arbitrate.
The proposals of the league to
enforce peace definitely provide
the necessary sanction. The third
article stipulates in terms that both
economic pressure and military pow
err shall be used by the %signatory
nations against any one of their
number that goes to war or COM
mits acts of hostility against an
other of the signatories before any
question arising shall be submit
ted to the tribunals which are pro-
vided.
This has appealed to the business

means to enforce compliance with
international contracts. 1t is true
that the referendum of the chamber
of commerce provided that these
sanctions should be applied in Sc
quence, in the form of increasing
pressure, first economic pressure
and then military power as the
last resort, and that the league
to enforce peace has provided that
economic pressure and military pow
er shall be applied concurrentI.v.
But the exact way in which this
shall be done is a practical ques-
ton which can be definitely decid-
ed only by a conference OF ma
lions.
The business men represent only
one of many influential bodies Of
opinion to which the league to en-
force peace has made a strong ap-
peal. The recent international peace
congress in San Francisco embodied
the leagues proposals in its plat
form with the same modification
only, which was made by the COM
mittee of the chamber of COM
merce. A plan that can command
hearty support from two groups,
separated as widely as the inter-
national peace congress and the
chamber of commerce of the United
States, must be a plan of unusual
breadth and of strong, ane appeal.
That it is such is also indicated
by the fact that ex-senator Root,
