Visitors From TOnOpah

H. A. McKim and Nick V. d.
Brock were arrivals from Tonopah
by auto Wednesday evening after a
rather strenuous trip via Belmont. At
Pine Creek, near the Wilson ranch.
their auto mired down and refused
to pull itself out. but was finally per-
suaded, with some assistance, to
move out on to frmer ground and
the remainder of the distance into
Eureka was made without serious
difficulty. Mr.. McKim is a former
resident and for many years was en-
gagged in business in Eureka, and he
brought over Mr.. Brock, who is en-
gagged in mining. to look at some of
the mining possibilities of this camp.
While the present road and weather
conditions are not the most favorable
at this time for an inspection of
many of the mining properties, they
have covered considerable ground
and obtained a fair idea of the gen.
eral mining conditions of the district.

TYPO TAKING ON NEW LIFE
Machinery and Pumps for Un-
watering Mines Being Received
and General Activity Prevails

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank C. Hanover of
Duckwater were visitors in Eureka
this week. Learning that Mr.. Van
I'VE had recently visited the camp
of Typo, a SENTINEL representative
interviewed him regarding what he
saw and learned while there. He
stated that during his visit there
about ten days ago he saw most un-
mistakable signs of a permanent re-
sumption of operations in the mines;
that machinery and pumps for
unwatering the mines was being
received; that he was. informed by
the superintendent in charge that the
Louisiana Company had already exe-
cuted a $50. 900 bond to the Southern
Nevada Power Company for the sup
ply of stated amount of power for a
term of years, and that the power
company would at once start the
construction'of a 40 mile line to carry
the current from Belmont, its pres
ent eastern terminus; that the ma
chinery for an auxiliary electric
plant had been ordered to guard
against possible interruption of SER
vice by the power company in sup
plying current to keep mine pumps
running; that ten four-wheel drive
auto trucks with trailers. each truck
and trailer capable of transporting
even tons of pre-. had been ordered
and would soon be hauling the rich
lead IRE of the mine to Tonopah for
shipment to the smelters, and that
everything about the camp gave evil
dence that all plans and work were
being carried out with a view of
practicability and permanence. Mr..
Hanover stated that while at Typo he
heard nothing mentioned regarding
the building of a railroad from En-
reka or Ely to Typo, or the erection
of a smelter.

Would Close ALI Saloons

Congressman Randall, who has the
distinction of being the first and only
Prohibitionist to be chosen to the
National leislature. said in a recent
interview that with a declaration of
war by Congress he proposed to fol-
low this action with the introduction
of a resolution authorizing the Secre-
tary of War and other government
officials to close all saloons in the
United States las a war measure"
"The saloons are closed on election
day." the Congressman said. IF
that is regarded as justification, GER
tainly a great crisis such as war
would be a far greater one. The
power of the authorities to close the
saloons in a grave emergency is I'M
doubted. / will propose this action
following a declaration of war;"

EUREKA TEMPORARILY
WITHOUT TRAIN SERVICE
Flood Waters Due to Rapid Melt
ing Shows Cause Washouts on
Local Railway

The unusually long and cold Win
ter in this section has left the ground
frozen to a considerable depth, and
the warm days of the past week
have caused a rapid melting of the
SHOWS. but have not thawed the
ground sufficiently to absorb the sur
face water. This increased gradual
ly in volume in its course from the
hills to the valleys. by which time its
force was sufficient to do consider
able damage. The worst sufferer has
been the Eureka-N Nevada Railroad,
which has been washed out in several
places and has been unable to- run
any trains between Palisade and Eu-
reka since Saturday of last week.
1t will be recalled that due to some
what similar conditions "A hard
freeze followed by sudden thaw and
melting Winter snows-the local rail-
road was washed out in March, 1910.
After two years the road was rebuilt
and resumed service; the first train
arrived here on April S. and was
greeted by a large and enthusiastic
crowd of Eurekans.
The present washouts as yet are
not considered very serious. General
Manager j. E. Sexton has a force of
men repairing the damage as fast as
he can, and reports that he expects to
have trains again running within ten
days or two weeks. And with the
prevailing high prices of metals and
the large amount of ore in this and
adjacent districts which are now
available for shipment. we r conf
dent that we shall see the trains
again running within the shortest
possible time.

Copper Producers Reduce
Price to Government

The principal American copper
producers have agreed to furnish
copper needed for the army and
navy during the coming year at l6
and a fraction cents a pound, about
one-half of the current market price.
Forty-five million pounds is to be de-
livered.
This solves one of the important
problems in connection with large
orders for munitions soon to be
placed, and is the first big conces-
sion in response to the appeals to
the patriotism of the country's in
dustries since the navy's agreement
with the shipbuilders and steel max
ers for profit cutting.

LOCAL MISREPRESENTATION
Number of Gases Have Largely
Increased and Schools Have
Been Closed

The measles have continued to
spread very rapidly in this locality,
the number of cases having more
than doubled since last week. Be-
sides a considerable number of adults
having contracted the disease, there
is scarcely a family here where there
are children in which there is not one
or more cases.
Pursuant to the order of the joint
school boards. the schools were closed
Wednesday for one week, the at
tendance having fallen below so per
cent. However, owing to the large
increase in sthe number of cases it
has since been found advisable by the
Boards to keep the schools closed till
Monday. April 8. 1t is hoped that
by this time the epidemic will have
sufficiently run its course to permit
of the re-opening of the schools on
the date fixed.
While a number of cases have
proved to be rather severe for a short
time, due to minor complications,
the SENTINEL is glad to report no
fatalities. The few days during con-
valescence are considered the critical
period if a patient does not exercise
proper care; but by proper precau-
tons against a backset. no perma-
nent serious result should come from
having this disease.

Ore Hauling Suspended

AS all the cars at the local railway
depot suitable for handling bulk ore
are now filled to capacity. and the
movement of trains on account of
washouts is problematical, nearly all
teams have quit hauling ore. The
big thaw the first of the week put
most of the roads in bad condition
and all teaming is conducted at con-
siderable disadvantage.
