SILVERWARE, JEWELLERY AND
CLOTHING IN VALISES
STOLEN

Two valises, containing silver
ware, jewelry and clothing, valued
at 5000, were stolen on Sunday
evening from an automobile left
standing for a short time in front
of a house on North Fifth n
The valises and their contents
were the property of Mrs. Erik
Strom, wife of a shift boss on the
Atlanta mine. She was to leave
town on Monday morning and her
husband had moved to a cabin to
stay during his wife's absence, and
they intended to sleep there during
the night.
They went to the residence of the
owner of the house in which they
had been living to give him the
keys, after having taken several

They entered the house and stayed
but a short time. When they anne

ELKS
HAVE BIG TIME
DEPUTY EXALTED RULER ISAAC
BAIR VISITS LOCAL
LODGE

The official visit of Isaac Bair,
deputy grand exalted ruler of Ne
vada Elks, to his home lodge last
night, was made the occasion of an
elaborate celebration in his honor,
in which about SO members of the
Tonopah lodge participated. The
Elks' home was filled to capacity
and the lodgeroom was crowded
when the deputy grand exalted ruler
addressed the lodge in an able
manner on the work of the fratern-
ity in Nevada.
Following the formal reception in
the lodgerOOm a sumptuous banquet
was served. 1t was One of the most
elaborate affairs of it's kind ever
given in Goldfeld. George r. Shell
field lodge, acted as POSTMASTER,
and in his usual happy vein intro
duced the officers of the Tonopah
and Goldield lodges and others.
Mr.. Sheldon raked his brothers over
red-hot Goals and his remarks
brought forth much applause. The
responses were highly appreciated
and at times instructive.
One lone candidate rode the goat
in good form for the entertainment
of the large gathering and was duly
initiated into the mysteries of the
order. The candidate who made the
goat look like thirty cents was none
other than P. F. Weber, who has
heretofore operated on all kinds of
animals except the Elks' goat. He
escaped with flying colors.
The Elk herd from Tonopah
which invaded Goldfield proved
themselves a live bunch. They ar
rived early in the evening and pro-
ceeded to enliven matters until
there was no further use for cleo
tricity. The visit of the Tonopah
lodge will long be remembered and
they are henceforth doubly insured
of a royal welcome whenever they
decide to visit their brothers in
Goldfeld.

GOVERNOR NOW
PASSING BILLS
LEGISLATURE EXCEEDED ALL
FORMER RECORDS FOR
APPROPRIATIONS

CARSON CITY, March 2O.-with
a mass of bills passed during the
last two days of the session on
fronting him, Governor Boyle yes
terday began considering their sub
ject matter. The governor has ten
days from the date of adjournment
in which to take action on such
bills as were sent to him during the
last four days of the session. The
governor is now 1.-The whole thing"
in the making and the unmaking of
laws.
The legislature broke all records
for money appropriated, either di-
rectly or by bond issues, the total
reaching I'VE a million and a quar-
ter dollars; more than a quarter of
a million in excess of two years ago.
The state tan rate was fixed at
62.55' cents for this year and Sc
cents for 1918.
The general appropriation bill as
finally passed carries an appropria-
ton for the Goldfeld school of
mines. established by an act intro
duced by Senator Elliott.
During the session bills were
passed dividing Esmeralda county
into three commissioner districts
and the last day witnessed the pass
age of a bill permitting the county
commissioners to name the chief Of
police and police officers of Gold
field, the salaries not to exceed $50
per month. A bill also was passed
making one member of the Esmer-
aida county board the county pur-
chasing agent at a monthly salary
of $50.
The session ended on Friday
evening at 6 o'clock, after an entire
day had been spent in making cor
rections in the general a%ppropria-
ton act and two bond issue bills.
Many of the amendments made to
the general appropriation act had
been eliminated when the bill was
enrolled and some of the appro-
priations were credited to the wrong
funds. The two bonds bills were
imperfectly drawn and SO worded
that it would have been impossible
to get the money for which they
provided.

1ONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

width of milling-grade ore, quite
an improvement in values having
developed with the weeks work.
At the S~andgrass workings, on
the 1140-foot level, both the cross
cuts which are being run to open
up the territory and make connec-
tions between the Sandgrass and
the old Merger shafts were extended
the regular distance. A change in
formation was encountered in the
crosscut to the south, it's face now
being in Montana Breccia in place
of the West End rhyolite upon
which it had formerly been advanc-
ing. The north crosscut continues
to make Roadway in calcite ande-
site.
On the 100-foot level, a crosscut
is being driven in the hanging-wall
on the Lower Sandgrass vein. Some
quartz stringers have been exposed
in the crosscuts advance, with oc-
casional good values being found.
Indications are very promising at
this portion of the mine.
On the 12OO-foot level, no devel-
opment work was done during the
week. The usual amount of stopping,
however, as carried on from the
Breccia vein, which, from its 8 to
4-foot width, is furnishing good
tonnages for the mill.
On the 13OO-foot level, work was
resumed in the face of the inter-
mediate drift to the west, when the
raise which was started last week
from the drift connected with the
level above. The raise developed a
2-foot width of good milling grade
ore all the way up to the upper
level, a distance of 40 feet.
Mizpah Extension
The crosscut on the 134O-foot
level of the Mizpah Extension,
which had been going out in a
southernly direction, has 10Y been
turned toward the east for the pur-
pose of connecting with the Halifax
workings that are running out to-
wards the Mizpah Extension cross
cut on this level. The connection
should be made some time within
the coming week, which will af-
ford splendid circulation in both
mines at this depth.

Al \RCH 5th will record an ami
l fersary of peculiar interest to
Newspaper publishers of this
country, for on this date fifty years
ago. in 1867. the first ground wood pulp
was made at a mill in what was then
the village of C~urtisville. recently re-
named lnterlaken, In the State OF Mas
sachusetts. Up to that time paper was
made exclusively Of rags, naturally linn
iting the amount produced; but with
the successful conversion of wood into
a fibre suitable for print paper the vast
timber of this continent De-
came the limitless reservoir of raw ma
terial for any and all future demand.
Solved Another Difficulty.
But the wood pulp fibre also solved
another difficulty for the printer. for
heretofore the speed of printing press
es was limited. caused by the slow dry
ing of the inks on paper made Of rags,
while the trade soon discovered that
paper made of ground wood had excel
lent absorbing and drying qualities. and

and energies to work to develop the

Snipe Hunt

Professor j. T. Dominguez OF

but he came near being shot at the
prison, near which the hunt took
place. In his haste to return to
Carson after spending two hours
in a marsh near the prison whist

accompanied by J. Allen and r. A.
Allen, his assistants, arrived in
Goldfeld this morning on his way
to the Muddy river district, in
Clark county, near st. Thomas,
where, in cooperation with the uni
versity and the office of the state
engineer, farmers are planning the
construction of a flood channel to
carry away the surplus surface
water during the flood season.
The work will be started on the
arrival of the irrigation experts in
the district and will be continued
throughout the summer months
under the direction of r. A. Allen,
who will remain at st. Thomas.
The section of Clark county to
which the men are going is one of
the finest farming districts in the
entire state and last summer pro-

collaborated with a manufacturer Of
machinery. Heinrich Voelter. in whose
name the patents were executed. 1t
was not until 1866 that the possibili-
ties Of this invention In this country
were recognized, when Albrecht and
Rudolf Pagenstecher induced their
cousin Alberto Pagenstecher to build
a mill in this country, and financed the
and the building of a mill. The choice
of location fell to C~urtisville. where
the outlet of Stockbridge Bowl seemed
to supply an adequate amount of pow

the Christian Adventist church, but at
tended regularly at the Union Sunday
school and c. E. services, and his faith
was sufficient for the needs of life
while enjoying health, and satisfying
when the demands made by intense
suffering seemed almost more than
mortal man could endure. He, with a
party of young people, returned home
the evening of August 6'from having
ascended Mount Hood, and from that
day until November z, when release
came, his suffering was intense.
Three weeks Of his illness he was
cared for in Hood River hospital, then
he was taken to Good Samaritan hospi-
tai, Portland, where an operation was
performed. After three weeks stay
he was brought to Hood River, where
he remained three weeks, when he was
again removed to Good Samaritan hos
pital for a second operation, but all
efforts of the best surgical skill and
the care Of nurses and loved ones could
not stay his going away on the morn
ing of Wednesday, November Z, in
Good Samaritan hospital, Portland,
whittier father, mother and sisters had
gone to be near him when rest came.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church in Hood River, and
the large main auditorium was filled
with friends who were there because Of
love for him whose young life was Just
finished, and for his relatives. M. D.
Odell spoke in a comforting, friendly
fashion that left feeling Of hope and
calmness. A profusion of beautiful
flowers testified that loving friends
we're many.

bafiied the surgeons a statement such
as the following is permissible: A
