RAISING MONEY
FOR NEVADA ROADS

! Practically every motorist that
passed over the Foothill boulevard
today was taxed one dollar for which
his machine was decorated with flag
of broad stripes of red, white and
blue, upon which was the slogan: Il
helped to build the road over the Fal-
Ion sink"
1t was impossible to get away from
paying the dollar. Pretty girls by the
score swarmed the road and climbed
on the running boards of the ma
chimes with flags; it was hardly pos
sible that the driver would say mo,
and the only other way to get away
from the girls was to buy flag.
The difficulties of navigating the
Fallon sink were illustrated by a dug
out filled with soft soap and closely
affiliated dirt. An automobile in
which two motorists rode, attempted
to cross this spot and had to call for
help to be extricated from their di-
lemma
This little comedy of Sinking in
the Fallon Sink" was produced by
the Lincoln Highway association for
the purpose of showing every motor
ist that contributed dollar toward
the fund which was being raised to
pave the road over the Fallon sink,
that he was doing a favor to himself
if he ever intended to cross the state
line at that point. There are AS miles
to be made shipshape for motor
travel.
The several dozen girls who
swarmed the road collecting tolls and
giving them a receipt in the shape of
a flag, held up $4,000 machines during
the day, and succeeded in collecting
more than $1,000, which is a little
more than one-fifth of what the Lin
coin Highway association is asking
of the business men of northern Cali
| fornia to contribute toward the build
ing of the road. The state of Nevada
will give $4,000, the Lincoln High
way association a like amount, while
/ the state of California is expected to
/ contribute $4,000.
/ The movement beng made to raise
the $4,000 expected from California
/ is being supported by all of the auto
mobile concerns of northern Califor-

FINE SHOWINCS
AT CAMP WALLACE

The new mining camp discovered
some few weeks ago by Robert Wal
lace and located IL miles from Win
nemucca in the Silver range, is at
tracing mining men from over the
state. Several leases have been let
and work is going ahead in an ear
nest manner. Among the more ad-
vanced is the lease owned by Whit
taker and Newlands, their shaft be-
ing down to depth of 35 feet and
the ore assaying from 500 to 1000
ounces in silver on a 12-inch vein.
L. N. Abel, who owns the adjoining
lease, has picked up the vein which
shows high grade values and has
started to sink shaft.
Albright and Wallace have discov-
cred an 1S-inch vein on their claim
that shows considerable free gold and
also high silver values.
E. D. Rogers, of Sulphur, has taken
a lease and is building good, COM
modious camp and will start work
Immediately.
FLOYD Harman and James Truitt
have opened up two-foot vein on
the surface for 200 feet, which shows
some very high grade samples and
which looks like winner. The for
nation is lime and diabase contacts
and porphyry and diabase contacts
Those who have visited the new
camp say the surface showing" are
the best that have been seen for some
time

PREP airing WINTER
CAMP AT DIVIDE

r. W. Bender, one of the most wide
ly known mining engineers in the
west, spent last night in Elko. says
the Independent. He is preparing for
extensive development work at the
NV camp of Divide, and for the last
two months has been busy shipping
in supplies, lumber, machinery, etc.
Several hundred tons of freight have
already reached the camp and more
is on the way. On account of the bad
road from Tuscarora to the camp. a
distance of about Is miles, it has been
necessary for him to ship by way OF
Red House. He would greatly prefer
to ship by way of Elko were this strip
of road in passable condition.
Mr.. Bender has a force of more
than twenty men at work, and he has
been opening up shaft on the ledge.
Up to the present time his hopes have
been realized, and there is every in
dication that large and valuable
ore body will be developed. He is con-
Quoting work in systematic way,
and intends to fully determine the ex-
tent of the ore body before erecting
reduction works. The company he
represents is strongly capitalized and
different from most of the small con-
Germs, will not depend upon ore ship
ment to prosecute development work.
Three buildings have been COM
pleted and three more are in course
of construction. Engines and air
compressors are on the ground, and
concrete bases are now being laid for
them. The extremely cold weather of
the past week makes this work diff
cult, but good progress is being made.
Three teams and truck are now
on the road. 1t will be necessary to
with distillate and for necessary sup
plies for the camp.
BY way of Red House there is a
strip of exceedingly bad road leading
to the camp in Elko county. Mr.. Ben
der has called the attention of the
county highway board to this. and
has asked that certain repairs be
made. 1t is hoped that the board will
attend to this at once, as the money
! he has spent in Elko county already
| fully entities him to this considera-
/ ton.
| AS soon as spring opens, when
work can be conducted to good ad-
vantage, the road from Tuscarora to
Divide should be opened up. IT will
make the camp tributary to Eiko as
it naturally should be. The amount
necessary to build this road would be
insignificant compared with benefits
we would derive.
When such men as Mr. Bender and
the company he represents interest
themselves in developing camp they
should be given every encouragement
and assistance We trust that the
highway board will assist in making
roads passable so that it will be pos
sible for him to continue work
through the winter.

TRIANGLE FEATURE AT THE
NIXON TOMORROW NIGHT

At the Nixon opera house tomor-
row night Triangle Kay-Bee presents
H. B. Warner, the English actor fa-
nous for her "Alias Jimmy Valen-
tine" in "The Raiders"
Written by ]. G.. Hawks and direct
ed by Charles Swickard, under the
supervision of Thomas H. Ince, the
production is said to be among the
most likable of Ince's stories, and an
especially strong vehicle for the in
PRODUCTION of Warner to the photo
play world.
Warner plays the part of Scott
Wells, a junior clerk in a New York
brokerage firm, whose daring, COM
bined with the deft handling of a CO.
lossal business deal, forms the basis
of the narrative. The role is one that
fits the actors talents admirably.
The scenes are laid in New York
City and the Adirondack mountains,
and the action moves with great
swiftness. Many of the incidents in
the tale occur in the New York stock
exchange, and for the filming of
these an exact reproduction of the
exchange was constructed-on of the
largest and most realistic sets ever
built.
Warmers leading woman is Doro-
thy Dalton, who already has been
seen by Triangle patrons in "The Dis
ciple," with William s. Hart. Her
Interpretation of the part of Dorothy
Haldeman, daughter of railroad
magnate. who figures in the romance
with the clerk, is said to be the best
work of her career. Others in the
cast are Henry Belmer Robert Nc
Kim, George Elwell and J. Barney
Sherry.
There will also be a two-reel Key
stone comedy, featuring Fred Mace
supported by all star Keystone cast
in "An Oily Scoundrel."

CONFESSED H0RSETHIEF GIVEN
AN INDETERMINATR SENTENCE

Arthur Bellamy Winning, having
pleaded guilty in the District Court
Tuesday morning to the charge of
grand larceny, and having waived the
statutory time for passing sentence,
was sentenced the same evening by
Judge Ducker to serve not less than
one year nor more than fourteen
years in the state prison.
In passing sentence Judge Ducker
told the prisoner that he did not look
like a criminal and asked how it hap
pened. Winning told the Court that
he got to drinking and got away and
was caught with the horse, but that
he had no intention of stealing it.
Winning is APPARENTLY about 20
years of age and has none of the out
ward appearances of a thief.

REQUIRE REST FROM LABOR
Men Make Mistake When They Keep
Their "Noses Too Close to
the Grindstona-"

Keeping ones nose close to the
grindstone" is a popular phrase which
describes what a great many people
think is the most efficient way of ac-
complishing any given task. Accord
ing to this idea, the most work can be
done in the quickest time by keeping
everlastingly at it with just as few
Interruptions as possible.
Science now believes that it's all
mistake to keep ones nose too close
to the grindstone Careful studies
made in large number of manufactur-
ing establishments led to the conclu-
sion that the most work is done with
the least risk of accident only when q
man gives his mind and body frequent
opportunities for rest.
Records kept in English factories
where men are engaged in soldering
tins show the amount of work done
during each hour of the day to be as
follows:
In the morning-first hour, ia tins;
second hour, 1877; third hour, 159;
fourth hour, 157; fifth hour, 1873.
III LH6 AOuAt liz .
second hour, 165; third hour, 1853;
fourth hour. 155.
These tables agree with those OF
other factories in giving higher out
put for the second hour than for the
first, this being due to the facility
which comes with practice.
But the chief point which they drive
home, when studied in connection with
the number of accidents is that after
| the second hour of continuous effort
both morning and afternoon, there Is
a continuous and marked decrease in
| the output and corresponding in
| crease in the frequency of accidents
The factory owner who wants to gel
the most out OF his employees will
break up their work day by frequent
periods of rest.
In this investigation 1t was impos
sible to record the cumulative effects
of fatigue from day to day, and from
week to week. but there was evidence
that the physiological products of ia
tigue cannot be got rid of in working
day. This means growing predispo
sition to disease and to the form o
mental excitement which results II
social unrest.
