HORNS|LvER HAS
FIGHT WITH FIRE
THREE BUILDINGS ON MAIN
STREET BURNED TO
GROUND

Fire at Hornsilver Saturday
morning destroyed three frame
buildings. The loss was not heavy,
as the flames were confined to the
buildings destroyed, two of which
were used only as store houses. The
third was occupied as a barber
shop.
Two of the buildings, which were
on the Main street of the town.
were owned by Speed Barnes and
the other was owned by M. w.
Mitchell.
The fire is supposed to have
started in a gasoline stove in the
barber shop. Several times the
roofs of other buildings caught
fire, but the flames were extinguish-
ed and the fire burned out in the
three buildings, which were isolated
from the remainder of the town.
This was the first fire that has
ever occurred in Hornsilver.

New York motion-picture corpora
ton, in directing during the Third
Liberty loan a committee of men,
bers of the Three Arts club, an or
sanitation of women either study

WOMEN WORKERS
!. GIVEN VACATION
SHORTAGE OF GAUZE INTER.
RUPTS WORK ON SURGI-
CAL DRESSINGS

The local Red Cross chapter has
received notice from headquarters
to discontinue, for the present, the
making of all gauze surgical dress
ings and recommends that the sur
gical dressing departments take a
vacation" until further notice. The
reason for this, as given, is the
scarcity of gauze used in the manu-
facture of dressings.
The situation regarding surgical
gauze production is serious and has
been a source of worry to national
and divisional headquarters, as well
as to chapters. 1t is said that ar
engagements have been made where
by the situation will be greatly i'm
proved, but surgical gauze just now
is not available; hence an enforced
vacation on the part of chapters
making bandages-
This vacation will last until furth-
er orders - not longer than a few
weeks, perhaps.
Work in other departments of the
local Red Cross chapter will proceed
as usual. Headquarters have sent
word that they will require a large
quantity of sweaters and socks,
looking forward no doubt to next
winters campaign on the front, and
all knitters are requested to apply
for yarns at chapter headquarters.
The making up of cotton goods
will also continue and more work
ers are wanted.

CON. SPANISH BELT
DRIVING LONG TUNNEL

The tunnel of the Consolidated
Spanish Belt Mining company has
reached a distance of 1895 feet
from its starting point, and it's face
is now advancing through a mix
ture of decomposed. granite and soft
shale. Quite a little water is COM
ing into the tunnel, and though as
yet there has been shown no parti-
cular increase in values, it is ex-
pected that the Ernst vein, for
which the tunnel is being driven,
lies not far ahead of the face of the
tunnel.
The approximate distance calcu-
lated by the company's engineers
for the tunnel to be extended before
the Ernst vein would be cut was
1900 feet, therefore it may be that
any round of shots will break into
the vein proper. The ground at
the present face of the tunnel is
extremely soft, and considerable
timbering is Necessary. = Tonopah

F. {. FAVIER
PNEUMONIA
VICTIM
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF CON
SOLIDATED DIES AFTER
BRIEF ILLNESS

z Frank c. Favier, assistant secre-
tary for the Consolidated Mines
company, died at 1880 today in
st. Mary's hospital. following a
one-week's illness with pneumonia.
MI. Favier was widely known in
Nevada and the news of his death
came as a great surprise, as it was
reported during the past few days
that he was on the road to recov-
cry. His condition became worse
yesterday morning and this morn
ing it was realized there was little
hope for him to survive.
In speaking of his death, Mr.. A..
FL. Howe, secretary for the Con-
solidated company, said: Mr..
Favier was one of the most accom-
plished and competent office men |
ever met and his death is a great
shock to me-" Mr.. Howe and Mr..
Favier had been intimate friends
since the early days of Goldfield,
when Mr.. Howe, on becoming Sec
rotary for the company, met Mr..
Favier, then a clerk in the office
of the Consolidated company, and,
quickly discerning his ability, o
noted him from time to time to
positions of greater responsibility,
until he finally became assistant
secretary.
Mr.. Favier was one of the Old
est, if not the oldest, employee of
the Consolidated company. He
came here before the was
organized and for a time was time
keeper for one of the companies
that was in the merger when it
was formed.
Mr.. Favier vas 45 years of age.
He was born in Baltimore and in
early life was employed there by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
as a clerk in the accounting depart
ment. He later entered the civil
ian branch of the United States
army quartermaster corps, a posi-
ton he held on account of his rail-
road experience, and was detailed
to serve in Alaska.
Leaving Alaska, he went to San
Francisco, where he was employed
as an accountant in the st. Francis
hotel and from San Francisco, pos
sessing an adventurous spirit, came
to the gold fields of southern Ne
vada, going first to Manhattan, and
from there he came to Goldfield in
the days of the first excitement
when gold was found here.
Mrs. Favier, wife of the deceased,
is now on her way to Goldfield from
Alameda, where she has been visit
ing her parents. She was tele-
eraphed to yesterday morning when
serious and is expected to arrive
tomorrow morning.
When Mrs. Favier went to the
coast her husband accompanied her
and on the return trip he went
fishing with friends in Reno. While
on the trip along the Little True
kee, his clothing became wet and
he caught cold. On his return here
he became ill with pneumonia and
last Monday entered the hospital.
He is survived by his wife and
two children, a boy and girl, the
boy five years of age and the girl
Is months, and a sister who lives
in Washington ID. c.

Rabies Treatment Is Success

Recently a horse on the Will
liams Estate ranch at Fallon was
bitten by a rabid coyote and the
animal later bit 10 head of horses
before it was captured. The brain
of the horse al sent to the state
university, where a pronounced case
of rabies was discovered. lmme-
date steps were taken by the uni
versity department of veterinary
science to vaccinate the 10 horses,
the Hogyes treatment being applied.
All were saved. This treatment
differs from the Pasteur cure in
that but six injections are required
instead of %. The veterinary treat
ment is similar to that given hui
man beings and has proved equal
ly effective. The vaccine comes
fresh from New York, a four-day
delivery being arranged for.

COMMISSIONERS
TALK CURFEW

A goodly' portion of last Thurs
days meeting of the LambertviIle
City Commissioners was taken up
with a discussion as to the better
enforcement of the curfew ordi-
nance, with view to lessening crime
among the younger boys of the
city. The recent theft of telephone
wires, on North Main street, and
several minor crimes. by boys still
in school, was considered at some
length, and Policeman Patrick F.
Lynch, who was present, was direct
ed to enforce the ordinance against
boys lettering on the streets after
the curfew whistle blows.
Several complaints were received
about the spreading of ashes upon
the Alexauken creek road, beyond
North Main street, it being alleged
that farmers found it impossible to
haul sledloads over the road after
the ashes were spread. 1t was de-
cided, by the commission, to dump
no more ashes there, while the snow
lasts. at least. 1t was the intention
of Commissioner Foltz to fill up the
roadway, and in the Spring give it
a coating of stone.
A remonstrance against the grant
ing of licenses to the six applicants,
whose petitions will be considered
next Thursday, was received from
the W. c. 7. u, and filed.
1t was decided to re-rent the bin
for stone, near the Pennsylvania
depot, at new rate of $24 per
year, the railroad company doubling
the charge because of the necessity
of building new trestle. 1t saves
a lot of demurrage, and gives the
city a regular storage place.
Civil Engineer Theodore G. Kitch-
in announced that the taxing maps
would be ready for a public hearing
on February IA, and the Commits
sioners decided upon that date for
an open inspection. between 2 and
a o'clock in the afternoon. In the
meantime they may be viewed at the
engineers office.
The contract to pay the West
Amwell township board of health a
maximum of $45 per year for cost
of inspecting the city's garbage
dump was approved, and small bills
amounting to $25 paid.
