Ono more desire to call the

Republican nomination for Jailer.

Fellow Citizens, / am in this

it is impossible for one to see all.

My friends tell me that l have
such a large territory to run in

Now men, / ask you again, do
you think it is right to help the
same men that you helped four
years ago? Do you think it is
right and fair to keep just a few
men in Office all their life? !

some of my opponents think that
there is no one worthy to hold

tell you that there is just as good
men that have never held an Of

ing the best offices in the county.

help the ones that you helped
four years ago? They now own
their own farms, and City lots
with fine homes on them, living

men like myself and others, who
are just as good republicans, and
as honest and upright as they.

AN IMPORTANT RANCH DEAL
A. c F1orio Of Eureka Purchases the De.
FIon Ranch and Stock at Duckwater

A. c Florio of Eureka Purchases the De-
FIon Ranch and Stock at Duckwater
A big ranch deal was completed in
Eureka last Saturday when Mrs.
Bertha Rich. and her son and daugh-
tey. Charles and Miss Marie De Flon,
sold the De Flon ranch at Duckwater
to A. c. Florio of Eureka. All the
interested parties came up from
Duckwater that afternoon and the
papers were signed here.
This property, consisting of some
1000 acres of decided lands, with a
right to the first 200 inches of the
water of Duckwater creek, is gen.
orally considered to be one of the
best ranches in this section, and Mr..
Florio is being congratulated upon
his purchase. 1t is understood that
all the live stock and personal prop
erty connected with the ranch is in.
cluded in the sale, and that the price
paid was around the $50, 900 mark.
The party returned to Duckwater
Monday, and Mr.. Florio was to take
immediate possession of the property
While in Eureka Mrs. Rich stated
that as soon as they could arrange
their personal effects, Miss Marie
and herself would remove to Sar
Jose. California, where they already
have a home. Mr.. De Flon will re.
turn to Tonopah to continue his law
practice.
Before leaving Eureka Monday
Mr.. Florio gave the Eureka Cash
Store an order for one and a quarter
tons of alfalfa seed. and stated that
he had arranged to take over siz
tons of grain that Mrs. Rich had al.
ready ordered, and. incidentally,
that he expected to be quite busy
during the next few months in get
ting this seed in and putting the
ranch in shape for an increased pro-
duction of both hay and grain. The
firm of Bidart & Florio is one of the
principal sheep owners in this section,
but whether MI. Florio intends con.
tinuing in this business, now that he
has fine ranch, has not been learned

RAILROAD PLANNED
FOR TYPO DISTRICT
Completion of Franchise For
Building Road From Eureka or
Ely Now Only Awaits sigma
ture of Governor

In the Legislature at Carson last
Saturday, Senator Thatcher of Eu-
reka introduced a measure asking for
the granting of a franchise to w. E.
Trent and associates for the construc-
ton of a railroad into southern Ne.
vada. This measure has since passed
both houses and is now in the hands
of Governor Boyle. and is expected
to be favorably acted on and signed
by him. The Carson correspondent
of the Reno Journal gives the follow
ing outline of the object and plans OF
the proposed new railroad:
Trent plans to construct a railroad
starting at Eureka or Ely. through
the Railroad valley country. tapping
the Typo mining district and then
connecting with the Tonopah and
Goldfeld line at some point in either
Nye or Esmeralda Counties. The
original purpose of the railroad is to
provide transportation facilities fol-
the big Typo Mining Company now
being operated by Trent.
AS soon as the road is constructed
and it is planned to commence work
Immediately upon the securing Of
the right of way. the work of con.
structing a giant smelling plant by
the Typo outfit will be undertaken.
While apparently nothing is known
in Eureka regarding the proposed
construction of q railway to the rybo
mining district, recent newspaper
reports of the taking over by Barney
Baruch and associates of New York
of the principal mining properties at
Typo lead to the belief that the cree
ton of a smelter there and the build
ing of a railroad to that district may
be realized. 1t is known that Baruch
and his Eastern associates have al
most unlimited capital to put through
such a deal. and as transportation
for the output of the Typo mines ha:
been for years conceded to be the
only reason for the incorporation OF
the rich silver-lead properties there,
the probability of this big deal being
contaminated at this time appears to
be good.
