Considerable interest is being taken
in the project for a rev bridge across
the canal in this village In order to
carry the new feed pipe for the Madi-
son water supply from Hancock pond
special truss will have to be erected
II new bridge is not erected. The
Great Northern Paper Co. have long
desired to widen the canal at this
point to the full wiGth as it would
prove very advantageous in piling logs.
The company has offered to put in the
abutment on the east shore If this is
done. 1t is also pointed out that the
present bridge is just what would be
needed to put across the mill stream
at East Madison. If a new bridge is
put in tt will be about 25 feet longer
and wider than the present bridge.
Engineers are investigating the mat
ter, which will be threshed out at a
special town meeting next month.

tice his profession eight years ago. He
quickly worked up large practice
and was. we'll known throughout the
county. Two years ago he was united
in marriage with Miss Clara White
more, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
II. Whittemore, who with a baby boy
survives him. He is also survived by

The work of compiling the answer
sets of the Picture Puzzle Pastime is
now we'll under way. A great diversi-
ty of answers Is shown in the compila-
tions so far and while progress must
necessarily be slow. the result will
justify this method ;of selecting the
answers. AS an instance Of the work
this method entails it is shown that
some of the possible answers to a par
ticular picturerun as high as 40.
The editor would again ask the con-
testants to be patient. There will be
no undue delay: every effort will be
made to facilitate matters in order
that the judges may make an early
decision.
A little delay has been occasioned in
the selection Of Judges. owing to the
fact that some of those chosen were,
for one reason or another, unable to
serve. However, the full committee
will be announced this week, possibly
by Tuesday or Wednesday.

SHALE PLANT WILL
PRODUCE GASOLINE

Robert Catlin, who has been ex-
.perimenting with the shale from
the extensive beds south of Elko,
has departed for the east after a
visit here of a number of days. He
stated that he would commence
operating with his plant, which is
now practically completed, early in
the spring.
Mr.. Catlin had with him here T.
J.. Hoover, an expert chemist, who
will conduct a series of experiments.
Mr.. Hoover departed for San Fran
cisco with a quantity of shale for
sampling purposes.
AS the water level has been reach
ed in the shaft, Mr.. Catlin does not
intend to sink further at present.
but will cross-cut on the 100-foot
level. The shale one the lowest level
is said to be the richest in paraffin.

SHELTER TO TREAT
ORE FROM DELAMAR PROPERTY

chutes. An air compressor is be-
ing installed and machine drills
will be employed in mining opera
tions.
Later on we may construct a
concentrating plant OF some sort to
treat the low grade Ores" said Mr.
Kaeding, "but for the present we
will devote u energies to the ex-
traction of ore for the smelter, in
order to take advantage of the high
prices now prevailing for copper.
We have made tests and find that
our sulphide ores, with the addition
of some other %sulphides, flux nicely
v it'll the carbonate and oxidized
ores from the Mason Valley COM
pany's mines.
"The Mason Valley Mines com.
pany, l am informed, has about
100000 tons of ore developed in
it's own mines and plans to supply
the smelter with 800 tons per day.
The present capacity of the two
furnaces, / believe, is about 1909
tons per day. We expect to have
our construction work all completed
by the last of February and to be
ready then to deliver the ore"
Mr.. Kaeding has spent much OF
his time in Porcupine, where Capt.
Delamar is heavily interested in
the Dome gold mine. He says hat
Canadians expect the war to last
two years longer, and he believes
that the great demand Of the war
ring nations for copper will keep
the price up above 80 cents for at
least two years.
He spent the last three weeks in
Boston and New York and says,
the metal selling agencies are now
contracting copper at 80 cents for
delivery during the last quarter OF
1917. He expects 1918 to be a
good year for the metal. Reno

SHIPMENT MADE BY
NINE AT EAGLEVli.IJl

The third good shipment OF
gold ore has been recently made
from the mine at Eagleville oper-
ated by Scott McCracKen, Bill
Woodruff and Tom Kenyon and the
see the tide reversed and the gold
en- sheckles rolling in istead of out.
The last oshipment was about
IS tons and was sold to the Western
Ore Purchasing company of Reno
The gold content averaged $19.4o
per ton and a trifle in silver. The
gold was settled for on a basis or
$40 per ounce and II 7-8 was allow
ed for the silver. The net returns
amounted to $~2,513.17, which is
a tidy little sum for a short run.
1t is expected that similar shipments
will be regular and frequent from
now on.-Fallon Standard.

BIG DREDCER
IS FINISHED

With all machinery installed and
all preliminary work completed the
big dredger of the Rea Consolidated
company at Dayton will begin opera
ton Monday according to Judge
]. H.. Rae who was in Reno this
morning on business.
The dredger was supposed to start
operation the first of this week
but two of the big S0-foot poles
that hold the cables were found to
be too weak to stand the strain and
it vas necessary to have an 50
foot tower built in Reno. This
will be built in sections here and
shipped to Dayton this week.
The dredger is capable OF moving
10000 to $4,000 cubic feet of earth
daily and will be worked to capa-
city. The whole plant cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 and it is ex-
pected that the returns from the
extensive placer mining that it will
make possible will pay for the u
fit in a few months.-Gazette.

BISHOP TEAM IS
VICTOR IN GAME
GOLDFIELD LOSES AFTER fhAh-
ING EXCELLENT GAME
AGAINST BISHOP

After holding their heavier OPP
ponents scoreless until the final
few minutes of the game with Bishop
high-school on Saturday, the line CT
the Goldfield h~igh-school for a mo-
ment wavered at a critical period
and gave the Bishop team the OPP
portunity from which developed the
lone score of the game. Bishop did
not kick the goal and the game end
with the score Bishop, 6; Goldfield,
O..
With the prospects good for hold
ing their opponents scoreless, a fake
forward pass in which the Bishop
quarter carried the ball through the
line for a 1O-yard gain, put the ball
on Goldfeld's three-yard line, from
where it was forced over in the next
scrimmage.
During the first half the ball was
near the center of the field most
of the time. Once during the first
half Bishop tried for a field goal,
which was blocked, and again, in
the third quarter, missed scoring
with a field goal by a narrow mar
gin. During the second half both
goals were in danger several times.
Both teams used the forward pass,
the ball and fumbles were frequent.
The Goldfield line showed improve
n,ent, held better than in previous
games and opened holes in the OPP
POSITIONS defense through which
most of Goldfeld's gains were made.
Both teams used the Harvard pass,
the Bishop team frequently, most
of their gains being made by the
aerial route.
A big, cheering crowd was in at
tendance at the game.

QUARRIES At CARRARA
PRODUCE HIGH-CLASS MATERIAL

During the week a considerable
number of samples were turned out
from the finishing plant of the
American Carrara Marble company.
This is the first finished product
that has ever icome from Carrara
and it is interesting to trace the
stone from it's bed to the completed
sample, highly polished and straight
edged.
The stone is pulled from tho
company's No. 2 quarry by the
electric dump for inspection. IL
it is passed. it is then loaded upon
the all-steel cars, which are used for
the transportation of the blocks,
and carried down the hill on the
three-mile electric gravity cable
line railroad. At the nd of the
cable, the STORAGE battery electric
Jeffrey locomotive couples onto the
car and pulls it into the finishing
plant, where an electrically operated
derrick loads the marble onto the
sang cars for saving.
These cars carry the block under
meath the gang saws, where the
block is cut into slabs. The first
hand operation comes at this stage,
when the slabs are removed to the
rubbing bed for smoothing and rub
hing, then they go to the copper
where, by means of ~carborundum
wheels, they are edged and SHAPED
to size.
The polishing machine furnishes
the last stage of the operation, and
the marble is then finished.
The announcement made this
week that the company can nov
turn out finished marble is, in the
life of C~arrara, epochal, for it lmean'
that the company a now entel

SHELTER FOR
ELKO MINES

T. M. Moe has been in Elko for a
number of days, experimenting h
shipment of a smelter to Bullion,
the big copper camp twenty-eight
miles south of this place. All OF
the machinery and other necessary
materials have arrived, and part OF
if has been hauled to the camp.
Mr.. Moe says that when completed
the smelter will have a capacity or
$50 tons. Coke and crude oil will
be used as fuel.
The camp is greatly in need OF
a smelter, and it is sure to prove
a profitable investment. Nine leas-
ers are now shipping ore from the
camp, and development work which
has been in progress for some time
has revealed large bodies OF ore.
The permanency Of the camp is as
sured. There are also thousands OF
tons of ore on the dumps which Will
pay to smelt, but which is hardly
rich enough to ship. Mr.. Moe has
secured a number of these dumps
and proposes to work them.
Mr.. Moe says that he expects to
have the smelter in operation before

AND TAX|CAB
MEET AT CROSSING
TAXI TURNS TURTLE WHILE
FORD KEEPS AN EVEN
KEEL

The crossing at Main and Crook
was the scene of an automobile COLI
sion this afternoon about three
o'clock that brought as large a
crowd as the rock drilling contests
so familiar to that location. In
fact If advance notice had been
gwen Of this afternoons event the
rock-drilling crowd would have been
eclipsed. Mrs. Fred Remick, OF
Beatty, vas running west on Crook
and was on the down grade, driv-
ing a Ford. A taxi belonging to
Guenett and Martin and driven by
o young man named Cronan, was
coming at a pretty fair clip south
on Main. The taxi caught the Ford
in spite of the efforts of both driv-
ers to avert it, and damaged the
steering gear and the forward spring.
The taxi blew up one of it's ear
tires and turned over. That vas
the sum of the damage. Nobody
was hurt. Mrs. Remick, who was
driving her W car, was the least
excited of anybody who witnessed
the collision.
