yesterday morning to the returning
girls basketball team of the Tonopah
high school from its trip to the north

One would surely have imagined
that they had brought back with them
the spoils of victory, Judging from the
enthusiasm, but they did better than
that. They returned the best team
but admittedly refereed out of the
decision, and yet they were smiling
at that and confident of success next
year.
1t was a merry automobile parade
that wended its way up town. In the
lead was the Tonopah Military band
discoursing triumphant music. Their

by boys carrying a big banner emilia

Chief of Police Evans chairman, the
latter introducing Professor Cross, the
coach, who told how the championship
game had been lost, or rather strayed
possibly stolen Chief Evans address
was one of royal welcome.
There were several more selections
by the band, together with high schoo
yells by the boys and girls and most
hearty applause for the plucky team
that represented the Tonopah high
school in the concluding contest OF
the tournament.

TONOPAHN GETS IN

PERlENCE ON THE GREAT
AMERICAN DESERT

One of the most promising gold dis
coveries made in years is said to be
in the strike made by A. A. Turner and
associates twenty-seven miles north
OF Barstow and, of course, a Tonopahn
had to be one of the first to get in. c..
w. Taylor is the lucky man. He and
Senator Arnold set out for the strike,
having been told of it by the original
locator Mr.. Turner, by the war, is an
old Nye countian, having for several
years been justice Of the peace at
Beatty.
Mr.. Taylor drove his car to Silver
Lake and there received misleading
directions. After travelling forty or
fifty miles over a cattle trail, they
found further progress impossible. For
three days they were lost on the des-
ert, being six miles from the right
road. Mr.. Taylor says that the heat
was terrific and the country alive with
side winders, scorpions and chuck
wallas. They had finally to depend on
the supply in the radiator for drink
ing water.
