MAKE PROFIT
IN

During the past week w. N.
Hamilton and Geo. M. Rea of Los
Angeles, who are interested in the
rlines of Tungstonia with A. R.
Shepherd spent a few days in the
city on their return from the mines,
and expressed themselves as well
pleased with the enterprise, notwith-
standing the low price for tungsten.
The mill is running steadily and
treating an average of 80 IONS of
ore per day, in addition to which
considerable development is being
carried on in the mines.
The management has been fortu-
rate in securing a property with a
large tonnage of milling ore on the
surface of the ground, hence it can
continue operations for many years
without going to the expense of deep
mining and a heavy investment in
equipment. The price of tungsten
now ranges from SIS to $40 per
unit, which still leaves a small
margin of profit where the plants
can be run economically.-Ely Rec

Nomination Fought

The state supreme court has been
called upon to determine the power
of a county central committee to
make nominations for places on
tickets left vacant by county con
vcntions. The suit heard was
brought by Attorney A. l.. Haight
of Churchill county. In that cour-
ty the democratic convention did
hot nominate a candidate for clerk
and treasurer. Neither did it dele
gate power to the county central
committee to do so. The executive
committee of the county committee
net and named Mrs. Hattie E. Fer
guson for the place. Haight asked
for a writ of mandamus to prevent
the county clerk from placing her
name on the ballot. Nominations
by central committees in several
other counties are effected by the
decision. The supreme court has
decided that in the absence of reso-
buttons passed by a convention
authorizing it to act, a county
central committee has no power TO
fill a vacancy left by a convention.

Supporters of Pittman and Game,

wOman's party banner that had
been hung across the main street

tc have torn the banner from its

Crowd HOOtS Mabel Vernon

Efforts to break up woman's party
meetings eliminated in what was
practically a riot in Reno, where
Miss Mabel Vernon, national secre-
tary of the woman's party, was
speaking. Hundreds, shouting and
jeering, surrounded her a short
time after she began the meeting
and drowned her voice by cheers
for Wilson and Pittman. A band
engaged for a democratic demon
stration kept up the din after the
crowd had grown hoarse and Miss
Vernon stood from 10 O'Clock until
10 waiting to be heard. The fire
alarm on a corner nearby was
sounded in an attempt to scatter the
crowd, but it was of no avail. At
midnight Chief of Police Hillhouse
appeared and asked her to leave as
there was danger in the crowd
that had gathered, it then being be-
yond control. She finally aban-
doned her efforts to address the
crowd and left the street.

GIANT TEAM
HAULING ORE,

w. w. Kreps, who has been haul
ing the copper ore of F. S. Paul
from Copper Basin to Battle Noun
tain, is having no difficulty in car
rying out the condit 'ons of the cor-
tract which calls for 80 tons a
day. The fact is that since putting
on the second team he has been
averaging 33 tons a day, each team
making one trip.
But Mr.. Kreps says hat even this
big average is not the capacity of
the teams by a great deal, and eA-
poets to add several tom to each
wagon as ocn rs the condition of
the roads will permit. When il is
known that the smallest horse in
the two teams of ten weighs over
1900 pounds, and that two of the
WEeelers tip the scales at about
2150 apiece, his statement that he
will increase the tonnage hauled can
not be doubted.
The horses have been the admira-
tlon of all judges of good horse
flesh since Mr.. Kreps started work
Ing them here on the 26th of last
month.
Mr.. Kreps has for the past year
been using his teams on ore con-
tracts in Lovelock, previous to which
he had for two years been freight
ing in Rochester. He is said to be
n of the best freighters and horse
man in Nevada, and the big hauling
average combined with the superb
condition in which the horses are
kept would give no grounds for
doubling his reputation.-Scout.
