NEVADA BANKERS ASH LOAN
ALL0TMENTS BE CUT DOWN

The Nevada bankers association
and the-state council of defense at a
meeting held in Reno took steps to
secure for Nevada smaller allotment
of the fourth liberty loan and to OBJ
tain for the state flying field, can
tonment, convalescent home for sold
iers, or some other war training aetiv-
ity which would, in some measure,
counterbalance the outward flow of
money for liberty loans, Red Cross,
thrift stamps and other needs.
A resolution was adopted calling
for the appointment of committees by
the bankers and the council of de-
fense to consider these matters and
bring them to the attention of the
proper authorities.
As the allotment for the fourth lib
erty bond issue will soon be made 1t
was urged that prompt action be
taken
Among those present from the bank
ers of the state were w. A. Shockley,
George II. Taylor, II. H. Kennedy, A.
j. Cation of Reno; Moses Reinhart of
Winnemucca, John Henderson of Elko;

MRS. SOUTHWARK
GONE TO REWARD

The private funeral of Mrs. George
M. Southward, who died yesterday
morning in Battle Mountain, took
place from the family home there this
afternoon.
Yesterday morning the news of Mrs.
Southward's sudden death, she having
been i'll only three or four days of
acute tonsilitis. was told from mouth
to mouth in tones which denoted the
reverence of the people of Winne-
mucca and by noon few there were in
this city who had not been saddened
by the knowledge of her death.
With Mr.. Southwark, she went to
Battle Mountain about week ago on
a business mission and when she left
here she seemed to be in the best of
health.
Mrs. Southwark was charitable in
all things, giving freely to any worthy
cause. and she was a real Christian.
She took an especially active part in
war work and was at the head of the
local committee for the second Red
Cross drive in May. ~
Nearly five years ago she was mar
ried to George NJ. Southwark and
shortly after this union the family
moved from Battle Mountain to Win
nemucca, where they have since re
sided.
Deceased was a native of Wales, 46
years of age. Besides her husband
she is survived by three daughters,
Mrs. Oscar Eckman of Battle Noun
tain, Miss Dorothy Jenkins of this
city and Mrs. Ernest r. Marvel Her
husband and Mrs. Eckman were with
her at the end. Miss Dorothy Jenkins
was in Winnemucca when he mother
died, but hurried TO Battle Mountain
Immediately upon receipt of the sad
news. Mrs. Marvey. who married an
army captain only last month, was at
Camp Fremont, Cal.

GOLDFIELD MINERS RETURN TO
WORK On PIECE SCALE SYSTEM

The Goldfeld Tribune says opera
tions have been resumed with a COM
plete crew on the property of the Red
Hill Florence Mining company, the
men returning to work under the con-
tract and bonus system. All of the
former employees of the company re-
turned, with the exception of two, who
are out of town. but they will return
at once, having sent requests that
their old places be held for them.
A number of men have resumed
their places in the mines of the Gold
field Consolidated, working under the
bonus system, which was offered the
men by the management at the time
of the walkout. 1t is said that many
of the men now find this arrangement
very much to their liking and that the
company will soon have an ample
supply of competent labor.
Work on the Grandma, Great Bend
and Silver Pick properties has not
been interrupted and there are now
good prospects that all the active COM
panies will soon be operating with
complete forces of men.

FIRE DESTROYS COPPER
CANYON POWER PLANT

A fire of unknown origin destroyed
the power plant and equipment, in
Guiding pumping and hosting plant,
compressor and engines, of the Cop
per Canyon Mining company last Sat
urday afternoon, says the Battle
Mountain Scout.
The company has been operating
two years, distributing a payroll of
$4,000 a month in wages. The COM
pany was shipping an average of forty
tons a day from the mines to the
smelters at the time of the fire, and
has force of men now working in
the restoration of that part of the
equipment essential for extraction and
hoisting. pumping not being necessary
and will not be replaced at this time.
The company is rushing all neces-
sary equipment so that shipments
can be resumed. The necessary raise
in copper to 26 cents with a probable
rate at the smelters offers some need
ed encouragement to those engaged
in the mining industry.

s. P. AND v. P.
TO CONSOLIDATE

The Pacific system of the Southern
Pacific company and the Western Pa
cific railway have been consolidated
by the federal railroad administration
for the announced purpose of i'm
provement in operation and more ex-
peditious handling of the immense
business of the two corporations. The
order amalgamating the two great
railway systems means double track
age all the way from San Francisco
to Salt Lake and triple tracks a good
deal of the route.
w. r. Scott, federal manager of the
Southern Pacific, has been appointed
federal manager of the Western Pa
cific. Scott has already begun the re-
arrangement of schedules for the op-
Grafton of the two roads as one sys-
tenn.
The Southern Pacific and Western
Pacific tracks run parallel between
Wells and Winnemucca, distance of
172 miles.
President c. NJ. Levey of the West
ern Pacific is en- route to the coast
from Chicago and ii is expected he
will devote his time to the corporate
interests of the Western Pacific.
Federal Manager Scott said he an
ticipated few changes in the admin
istrative bureaus of the Western Pa
cific, as President Leyey had kept
everything down to conservative ba-
sis.
In regard to operation, Scott said
THE consolidation of the two sys-
TENS will bring about much better
service and quicken up handling OF
freight immeasurably. Under the
joint operation, there will be double
tracking that will effect big saving in
time. Where the Southern Pacific has
double tracks now, the additional
track of the Western Pacific can be
used to great advantage. In the event
of congestion at any time. there can
be shift. Speeding up will be the
order of the day all along the line.
The Western Pacific is doing a good
passenger business and no curtail-
ment in the service is planned"
