POWER LINE PLANNED
FOR PEAVINE DISTRICT

A high tension power line will be
built from Verdi to the Poeville min
ing district on Peavine mountain, a
distance of four miles, by the
Truckee River General Electric COM
pany. The line will be put in to
supply power for mines operating in
that district and the surveys will be
started at once.
William p. Lemley of Pittsburgh,
who is interested in the Standard
Metals company in the Poeville dis
trict, has been in Reno for a week
looking over the property and made
arrangements to have the power line
n"t in following an examination of
the mine by experts.
1t is expected that other cOmpan-
les operating in the district will take
advantage of the power and will in
stall electric plants. Mr.. Lemley was
enthusiastic about the mine and
made extensive arrangements to de
velop the property. His action was
so pleasing to the operators in the
district that they have changed the
name of the town from Poeville to
Lemley.

G.. f. McA., Upper MOntclair.
n. IA complete account of the
sale of tie Palmetto property, to-
gether with plans of the new
owners, was published in The News
several months ago. The property
was purchased by wealthy Span
iards of San Francisco, through
the agency of Robert Blei, and
some work has been in progress
since then. Manager John Murphy
suffered a broken leg a short time
ago, in an automobile accident, and
work has been interrupted in con-
sequence. Mr.. Blei, who appears
to be in charge of the property
for the owners, was here a short
time ago and is expected to return
here within the next few weeks,
when it is planned to start work on
a substantial scale and there Is
talk of erecting a reduction plant
on the property. 1t is also said
that there is a prospect that the
property may be sold again short
ly. The local agent for the COM
pany is Clyde p. Johnson, the
recorder of Esmeralda county.

FOURTH PRIZES USED
TO JOIN RED CROSS

family cleaned up in the children's
contests held on the Fourth.
Jeanette, Mary and Howard each
won prizes. There is nothing re-
markable in that, for the children
are descendants of a father made
strong and speedy by continual
kneading of dOughnuts, but the
use they made of some of the
money received by them is unusual
and commendable. Letting their
brothers Frank and William in on
the deal by giving them one dol
lar each, they all went to w. e.
Zoebel, secretary of the Goldfield
chapter of the Red Cross, and each
purchased a membership.

HAS GOOD MARGIN AT END
OF FAST CON-
TEST

At the end of 10 rounds of fast
fighting, frankie Malone was given
the decision over Solly Salvatore
in their contest at Tonopah on
the afternoon of the Fourth. The
fight was refereed by Honest Mike
Geary of Goldfield and his deci-
sion met with the approval of
the crowd. Malone earned the de-
cision by outfighting his oppon-
ent in almost every round. The
fight was fast throughout. Great
interest was taken in it by Gold
field fans and a large number of
people from here were in the Air
dome, which was packed before
the start of the first preliminary.
The six-round preliminary "a
won by Arthur Dupont of Gold
field from Buck O'Brien of Reno.
Dupont knocked out O'Brien in

FIRE DESTROYS
CONVENT CHAPEL
FTREMEN SAVE BUILDING FROM
TOTAL LOSS IN THREE
HOUR FIGHT

The entire north end of Mt.
st. Mary's convent, containing the
chapel. was destroyed in a fire
that broke out at 3 o'clock this
morning. The convent building
is on South Bellevue avenue and
was formerly occupied by the
Miners Union hospital.
The loss has not been estimated,
but it is covered by insurance.
How the fire started is not
known. 1t originated between the
roof and the ceiling. The building
is a one-story structure. plastered
on the interior, and it is believed
the fire had been burning for some
time before smoke came through
the roof and drifted into the resi-
dence of E. S. Yankee. across the
street. arousing Mrs. Yankee, who
telephoned the alarm.
The sisters, sleeping in the south
end of the building, were awaken
ed by the sound of falling objects,
but were unable to reach a tele-
phone owing to the dense smoke.
This morning the sisters reported
to Chief Murphy that last night
the electric lights flickered in an
unusual manner, and it is believed
the fire may have been caused by
wire trouble.
The firemen reached the scene
quickly, but before they could get
water on the building the flames
had broken through the roof and
the structure appeared doomed. In
two lines, 1850 feet of hose was
stretched and it was 6. o'clock be-
fore the fire was finally extin-
guished after a hard three-hour
battle to save the south portion.
After the building became water
soaked almost everything the fire
men touched was found to be
charged with electricity and they
and people assisting them received
a number of severe shocks.
Last night was the 29th time the
department has answered an alarm
this year.

Stock Losses Light

Much has been said in the past
regarding great losses of livestock
in Elko county during the past
winter and spring and to the pre-
sent time an estimate of the losses
has been difficult to obtain, but
the statement of the county asses
sor is a fair indication. Taking
last year as a basis, the amount
of stock reported this year by
individual owners shows a shortage
in sheep and cattle amounting to
500, 900. When 1t is considered
that the livestock assessment OF
Elko county last year amounted
to $5,322,547, the loss is but a
small proportion of the total and
is estimated at 1000 head Of cat
tie and 1900 sheep.

Survey Started

A series of wells are being dug
by a surveying party to determine
how drainage canals should be
placed to drain the water on the
big tract, which is w~ater-soaked
for cultivation. The surveying
party has been working on the
project for the past two weeks and
parallel lines have been run across
the valley. 1t is or these lines
that the wells are being dug.

Want Separation From ElkO

1t is understood that citizens of
Gold Circle, in the southwestern
part of Elko county, are dissatis-
fled with their isolated condition
and that "a move is being made
to have that portion taken from
Elko and annexed to Humboldt
county. 1t is believed that the
movement is general and not only
involves residents of Gold Circle
hut ranchers throughout that part
of the county. Their grievance is
that owing to road conditions and
the crossing of high mountain
ranges hat are still covered with
snow they are unable to reach the
county sea- of Elko county with
out going in an opposite direction
to within a comparatively few
miles of the county seat OF Hum
boldt county.

small audience, little interest hav-
ing been taken in it. There are
two reasons for this. First the fear
of a fake and second the Richie
Mccarthy bout.
Never since the men came here
to train has the fear of a fake
been absent from the minds of even
men most intimately concerned
with the promotion of the contest.
There was no particular reason to
believe the men were not on the
level and there we're many reasons
continually pointed out to prove
that they were and that the fight
would be a great one, but the fear
was present in the minds of many
fans and was never dispelled until
the fight started and Meehan tore
into Norton as soon as he could
reach him.
All doubt was then quickly dissi-
pated, but it was too late, as the
damage had been done.
The decidedly tame character of
the Ritchie-McCarthy contest scared
large numbers away from the fight
on Tuesday night the fans fearing
another bout of the same charac-
ter.
In the preliminary Johnny Nor
rison led Freddy Cushing, who had
a big weight advantage, all the way.
He landed hard and often on his
man and Cushing was awkward and
unable to reach him. In the fourth
round of the six-round bout, Nor
rison turned to the audience and
said, ''This is too soft" In the last
two rounds Cushing was in bad
shape and was barely able to
weather the sixth.

Owing to the fact that consider
able friction exists between Aus
trians and Serbians at Copper Flat
at Ely, Sheriff Mclean has dis
armed all aliens at the mines. A
raid was made a few nights ago
that resulted in the collection OF
so or so guns of all kinds, which
have been stored in the court
house. The officers searched
every house and secured most of
the booty from trunks. The au-
thorities were of the opinion that
revolutionary measures might ave
