COMMISSIONERS
WILL GO TO WASHINGTON

Railroad Commissioners HI. F. Bar
tine and John Shaughnessy will leave
for Washington on or about the 18th
of this month, to be present at the
hearing in the intermountain rate case
that has been reopened, involving the
rates on many commodities, including
canned goods, hardware, iron and steel,
oils, paints, paper and others. The case
has been reopened on petitions receiv-
ed from the Nevada Railroad commits
sion and also the Spokane Merchants
association, and involves a saving Of
many thousands of dollars to the Ne
vada merchants on goods shipped from
eastern points.
Five years ago the merchants of Ne
vada were unable to compete with the
houses of California on account of the
back haul charges, and were thereby
deprived of the business justly theirs.
Since that time the railroad commits
sion has secured a reduction of over 20
per cent on the back haul charges and
as a result the Nevada merchant has
been enabled to more than hold his
own with outside competitors. The OBJ
jeet of the reopening of the rate case
is to attempt to secure additional ben
eft for the Nevada merchants.-Car-

death VALLEY sCoTTY'y
SEEN AT BONNIE CLARE

The eccentric "Scotty," the riddle
from out of Death Valley, was recent
seen by two prospectors who passed
through Goldfeld today from the south,
according to the Goldfield Tribune.
They reported the mysterious one to
have passed through Bonnie Glare with
two companions in an auto, bound for
Scotty's alleged source of great wealth
in the mysterious valley where the
sands of the desert never grow cold.
While it is commonly supposed that
Scotty received more money for doing
publicity turn for railroad company
some years ago than he ever took out
of Death Valley, it may be that he Is
now on his way to the valley with a
duplicate of the wonderful lamp of
Aladdin in his possession and that he
will rub it somewhere in the gloomy
desolate slopes of the Funeral range
and disclose to the startled gaze of his
companions wealth greater than that of
the Incas-and then, he may not.

FLICK INSTITUTES
ACTION FOR DIVORCE

Yesterday Warren J. Flick, propri-
etor of the Big Meadow hotel at Love
lock, brought suit in the Dlstrlct
Court against Dixie Lee Flick for III
voree. In his complaint plaintiff sets
forth the facts of the alleged eonspl-
racv between defendant and }. I.
breckenridge. as mentioned in Satur-
DAVIS Silver State, and further alleges
as a cause of action:
That defendant is woman of un-
governable temper, which is daily
growing worse; that at various times,
at San Francisco, California, in the
presence of other persons, defendant
struck him with her closed fist, stating
that she was sick and tired of the sight
of him and his whole family, and that
all the F1icks were crooks; that again,
during November, 1915, in the Big
Meadow hotel, Lovelock, in the pres
enee of several guests of the hotel, de-
fendant struck him with her closed fist
and called him numskull' and
other like names; that for the past
several years defendant has persisted
in keeping about her J. G. Breeken-
ridge, a notoriously lewd, immoral and
dissolute person, against the expressed
wish of plaintiff; that during plain
tiff's absence from the Big Meadow
hotel, defndant and said J. G. Breek-
enridge were in the habit of paying
frequent nightly visits to each other s
sleeping apartmnts, to the scandal of
the guests of the hotel, and to plain
tiff's great mental anguish and humil-
iation.
Wherefore, plaintiff, who is evident
" a man of wealth and the owner of
a great amount of real estate in va
rious parts of the country, asks for an
absolute divorce from said Dixie Lee
Flick and that he be declared the sole
owner of all theproperty enumerated
in the complaint. r. M. Hardy and
associates for plaintiff, and Salter,
Robins & Frame and L. G. Campbell
for defendant.

BYRNES
Is LAID TO REST
Paradise Valley, April 10.

Paradise Valley, April 10.
Paradise Valley lost one of its fair
est flowers when Estella Mae Byrnes
was taken from us last Friday morning
at ten O'Clock.
She was apparently in good health
on the afternoon of Sunday, April 2,
and as usual in her happy frame of
mind. But at six O'Clock that evening
she became suddenly i'll. DR.. Knorr
was called and later DR.. Mangan of
Winnemucca was called in consulta-
tion. 1t was absolutely impossible to
diagnose the case accurately without
an operation so it was decided to take
her to Reno Thursday. The operation
was performed, but Estella could not
be saved. That dread disease tubereu-
losis had done its worst. She passed
away an hour later.
Estella Mae Byrnes was born in Par
adise Valley September 10, 1900, and
has lived here all her life. She was
graduated from the eighth grade last
spring and was a student in the Para
disc Valley High school this year.
She was beloved by all who knew
her. Her sunny disposition made her
a general favorite among all classes.
She was an ideal little woman in her
home, so handy about the housework,
and a delightful companion to her
mother.
She is survived by her parents, Mr..
and Mrs Jas. p. Byrnes, two brothers,
Enrol and Philip.
The services were held at the home
Sunday April 9 at 2 p. m, Rev. Father
Dermody, of Loveloek, officiating.

RICH SILVER ORE
in old austin Mine

The scriptural saying that the stone
which the builders rejected became the
chief stone of the corner, says the Re-
veille, proved true of the Eclipse first
west extension of the Austin Manhat-
the owners Of that group of mines that
this claim was not so worthy of notice
and that other claims demanded their
first attention, although those who are
at all familiar with the Austin Manhat
tan know that all of their ground is
underlaid with metals.
But Con Cummins, miner, was not
content to let the matter rest. He felt
that somewhere within the limits of
the claim there was a very rich vein.
So Con asked he manager of the Aus
tin-Manhattan for lease, and about q
month ago he went to work running
tunnel on the Eclipse.
His faith ripened into a rich find.
He has encountered a vein which at
first showing was tiny streak Of sill
yer ore only an inch in thickness, but
which has widened until it runs from
10 to IL inches and there seems to be
an abundance of ore.
The strike which Cummins has made
is in the chlorides, and assays of the
best ore from this streak will run about
], 500 ounces to the ton, but the poorest
runs about 300 ounces. The strike was
made in tunnel which had been run
about 200 feet into the face of a hill,
but the vein lies at vertical depth Of
not more than 40 feet from the sur
face.
With the price of silver now flirting
close to the 65 cent mark and the pros
pect that it may run still higher, one
can easily see what this strike may
mean to the Austin district.

ENTER RESIDENCE
OF ELKO ATTORNEY

The residence of Deputy District At
torney Cantwell was broken into and
robbed last Saturday evening, the bur-
glars being frightened away, leaving
part of their spoils on the bed. Mr..
Cantwell and his family had left the
house at 1880 for an auto ride, return
ing at $50. They stood at the gate
talking few minutes and on entering
the house found that a part of the
home had been ransacked and jewelry
to the value of 1925 had been stolen.
It was very evident that the robbers
had been frightened away, as they had
piled up a quantity of jewelry on the
bed which they overlooked in their
rush to get away through the back
door, and a valuable necklace was
found ON the floor where the robbers
had dropped it as they rushed from
the room.

man crawling in and opening the back

curtains on the windows in the bed
room were tied up so as to admit the
light of the electric light from the
street light ON the corner, by which
they worked, and they had but partly
ransacked the drawers in the bureau
when the family returned home. Mr..
Cantwell believes that they watched
them leave the house and Immediately
got to work, as it took them some time
to break in the cellar window. They
first attempted to open the back door
and cut the screen, and the marks can
be seen where they used a Jimmy
Immediately on finding that the rob-
bers had gone, Mr.. Cantwell called up
the officers and all night long the
trains were watched and searched, but
although many suspicious men were
searched, none Of the stolen jewelry
was found, and as the men left no
elew they will probably escape.-Free

RENO GIRLS WIN BAKET-
BALL GAME FROM LOCALS

In a very fast, and intensely inter
esting game at the Nixon opera house
last Saturday evening, the Reno High
school girls, state basketball cham
pions, defeated the Winnemucca Gram
mar school girls, by the score of 80
to H.
The disproportionate score does not
mean that the Winnemucca girls did
not play the game-they were simply
outclassed, and do not feel disgraced
over their defeat. The Reno girls are
older and more experienced and, to an
uninitiated onlooker, appeared to have
a better understanding among them
selves, some of their team work being
very pretty.
Prof. Thomas, of Elko, refereed the
game and gave excellent satisfaction
to both sides.

NIXON TOMORROW

"Sin," the latest William Fox pho
toplay supreme, starring that most re-
markable of all actresses, Theda Bara,
the Vampire Woman, of the Theatre
Antoine, Paris, whi.h will be the feat
ure at the Nixon tomorrow night,
boasts a singularlv strong supporting
cast, even when tie fact that it is a
Fox production is taken into eonsideia-
tion.
Williaf E. Shay, .hs well known dra-
matte star, who has appeared IN such
successes as the "Clemenecar Case,
"Kreutzer Sonata etc, heads the
long list of dramatic persorae as Luigi,
powerful part particularly suited to
Mr.. Shay's talents. Henri Le0ni, a
famous Broadway artist, is Giovanni,
an emotianal character of impressive
strength. Warner GLAND as Pietro,
gives another striking rendition of a
role alive with fire and character, and
Louise Rial is splendidly effective as
Maria. The other roles are filed by
actors and actresses or international
celebrity and unusual talent.
"Sin,' which was written and pro-
duced by Herbert Brenon, is unusually
powerful and convincing work abound
ing in strong dramatic climaxes, grow
ing out of the clash of elemental hu-
man passions.
Theda Bara, the surprising star, is
perhaps one of the most interesting
women on the screen. Writing in the
Chicago Herald Miss Louella Parsons,
the celebrated critic, delves into an
analysis of Miss Bara: "Her hair IS
like the serpent locks of Medusa, her
eyes have the cruel cunning of Lu-
cretia Borgia, till now held up as the
worlds wickedest woman; her mouth
is the mouth of the sinister, scheming
Delilah, and her hands are those of
the blood-bathing Elizabeth Barthory,
who slaughtered young girls that she
might bathe in their life blood and so
retain her beauty.
"Can it be that fate has reincarnat-
ed in Theda Bara the souls of these
monsters of medieval timesf Scientists
have questioned this most extraordina-
ry of women to secure fresh evidence
to support their alfproved laws of
transmigration of souls; but the re-
suit has only been to prove that,
though Miss Bara is the greatest delin-
Gator of evil times on the stage or
screen today, she is in real life a
sweet, wholesome woman who detests

ANOTHER ROMANCE OF
MINING RICHES IN UTAH

Another romance of riches has come
out of Utah, according to Goodwin Is
Weekly, and the story is of such in
terest to any and all who are identified
with mining investments, that it is well
worth reproducing, because it is a
story of the present day, and not an
cient history.
This time it is Joe Pugsley who stood
in the golden place where the lightning
struck.
For years Mr.. Pugsley has gone on
about his business, making a fairly
comfortable living, and saving a little
money. Way back when the Cardiff
was nothing more than a green hill
side he acquired little of the stock,
costing him less than ten cents share,
and some of it taken on trade, cost
ing him nothing. Those who knew he
had it were comparatively few, the
majority of his friends had no idea of
his fortunate possession.
The other day he walked into the
stock exchange and quietly inquired
the price of Cardiff. It is said that
someone asked him what he wanted 60
know for, as he didn t have any, and
he is quoted as replying: "No, I
haven t got much left, only matter
of about thirty-seven thousand
shares"
Now, thirty-seven thousand times SO
is-but what's the usef That's the way
it comes now and then when somebody
feels lucky in the mining game, and
buys a wad of stock for a song and
does his own singing thereafter.
He is being widely congratulated,
which means that he and his will be
in affluent circumstances all their lives.
