RICH ORE FOUND IN
REBER'S TUSCARORA

News has just reached Elko of the
finding of exceptionally rich float on
the ground of the Rose Mining Com
pany, located just west of the old
camp of Tuscarora. The rock, weigh
ing several hundred pounds. was found
under the surface, and samples
brought to the Elko Assay Office
yielded three and half ounces of
gold and sixty-eight ounces in silver.
This property was taken over a few
months ago by company represented
by F. l.. Reber of Winnemucca. Mr..
Reber. who was there a few DAYS ago
to investigate the find. says that the
company will Immediately put force
of men at work on the ground in an
effort to develop the vein from which
the ore has broken loose. The charac-
ter of the rock indicates that it has
Travelled but short distance, and as
the ground where the rock was found
has never been prospected, it is likely
that the vein will be picked up in
that immediate vicinity, about three
hundred feet from the main vein.
The company is still at work de-
yeloping the property from the main
tunnel. and have recently cut into
exceptionally rich ore When suffi-
cient ore has been blocked out tc

coming. and those in touch with thS
situation are confident that next year

LOCAL RAILROADERS JUMPED
TO AVOID PROBABLE INJURY

Sand blowing onto Western Pacific
tracks caused a freight wreck Thurs
day afternoon at about o'clock, in
which three Winnemucca men mar
rowly escaped injury or death. The
smash-up occurred near Ascalon,
eighty-five miles west of Winnemucca.
An unusually sereve sand storm
was blowing. making it impossible to
see the track ahead. When the en-
gine hit a bank of sand the wheels
left the tracks. resulting in the engine
and four freight cars overturning.
Engineer Ray. Fireman Armstrong
and Brakeman Woodward were riding
on the engine, but all managed to
jump from the safe side after the en-
gine had left the rails but before it
overturned.
In consequence of the wreck, West
ern Pacific passenger train number
seventy-two was routed over Southern
Pacific tracks. Friday morning. from
Portola to Winnemucca, via Reno.
Number seventy-one went through
over Western Pacific tracks. 1t re-
quired twenty-four hours for the
wrecking crew to clear the right Of
way.

FIRES RAGE
NEAR GARDNERv|LLE

One of the largest forest fires, in
fact two of them. that the Gardner
vile section has seen in years COM
menced Thursday morning, one near
Woodfords, in Alpine county, and the
other on the range above Genoa.
All kinds of reports were sent to
Gardnerville regarding the fire in
Alpine county and in response to a
call for help, some thirty or forty men
FASTENED to that section. 1t was re-
ported that the White ranch houses
had been destroyed, but this was
found to be without truth. The White
ranch was surrounded by fire and the
women folks were moved with dif1i-
Guilty to Woodfords, where they were
cared for during the night. The
Harvey ranch houses were dismantled
of their furniture and all prepara-
tions made for a quick getaway but
fortunately the fire was held on the
hillsides above the home and no
damage done to the ranch. The Har-
veys were heavy losers in having a
large amount Of cord wood burned.
The old Diamond Valley school
house seemed to bear charmed life
as the fire encircled the building and
burned away without even shingle
of the old building being singed. The
old sawmill on the road to Markle-
vile was totally destroyed. as were
several cabins in that locality.
The largest loss was reported to
have been sustained by Peter Goni,
sheep men, who lost more than three
hundred sheep from his band. which
was being ranged in that vicinity.
The fire above Genoa was held from
coming down into the valley and
while. for time appearing very
dangerous, so far has done no dam
age other than to the timber-lGard-

RAILROAD DIVORCE
IS NOW IN EFFECT

Operations of the Western Pacific
railroad as separate unit by the
United States railroad administration
began Wednesday under orders issued
by w. r. Scott, federal manager OF
the western district. z. w. Manson is
appointed general manager of the
road. Confirmation of this appoint
ment was received at Salt Lake yes
terday.
The appointment of Mr.. Manson Is
believed in railroad circles on the
coast to indicate that the first move
has been made towards separating the
Western Pacific system from that OF
the Southern Pacific. Separate Offices
for the Western Pacific will be
opened in the Mills building at San
Francisco.
The Tidewater Southern and the
Deep Greek railroads, adjuncts of the
Western Pacific, are also placed un-
der the jurisdiction of Mr.. Manson by
the terms of the new order.
Whether the Ogden route of the
Southern Pacific and the Western
Pacific line through that territory
will continue to be operated as they
have to some extent, as double track
railroad, remains to be determined.
Mr.. Manson was formerly general
superintendent of the Western Paci-
fic system. He has recently returned
from France. where he served as a
lieutenant-colonel of the corps Of en-
gineers. In commenting on the read
justment and the appointment of Mr..
Manson, William Sproule. federal
manager, said:
THE change lies in the direction of
the director generals policy of CO.
operating with the owners of the rail-
road properties when this can be
done without prejudice to the interests
of the government or the public. Col
onel Manson volunteered for the war,
and his good work in France has been
recognized by the promotions given
him and now by the United States
railroad administration in this recog-
aition of his Abilities

TUESDAY WILL Be
CIRCUS DAY HERE

Hooray! The red wagons will
come Tuesday. That dear old institu-
ton, old, but ever new, the circus
Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace comes to
Winnemucca with a real show, the
circus of our fathers days, of our
boyhood and the meadow lot, the cir
Gus With the red wagons and an army
of clowns. the elephants, the women
dressed in fluffy pink tarletons a-glit-
ter with spangles. will be here, and
most essential of all, the rumbling
wagons of red and gold, without which
a circus wouldn't be a circus at all.
Most any where between two and four
am. is the time. The tents will be
pitched on the grounds near the high
school. There Is to be only one per-
formance commencing at ] pm.
The Carl Hagenbeck Wallace circus
of 1919 is circus of novelties,
thrills and a whole show of pretty
women. Skill and beauty are appreci-
ated more than daring nonsense. The
big show is peculiarly fortunate this
year in the number of European and
other foreign novelties. Agents
abroad were able to secure features
never before seen in America, on ac-
count of the war. Likewise the Carl
Hagenbeck zoo was brought intact
to this country and placed with the
combined show. Volumes could be
written of the hardships and dangers
experienced in getting the rare and
costly Hagenbeck animals from the
war zone.
The Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace circus
is assessed at $3,000,OO0. The parade
alone represents a cash outlay of a
million dollars and the Carl Hagen
beck wild animals are valued at $780,
900. The American offices are main
tanned in Cincinnati, Chicago and New
York City. The winter quarters are
located at West Baden, Ind In Lon
don, Liverpool. Calcutta and Hong
kong agencies are maintained to Sc
cure novelties and features.
In the neighborhood of 1000 people
travel with the big show. in addition
to one hundred and eight advance
men who have already visited this
city. At night the circus travels from
city to city aboard special trains. In
the day time, twenty-five tents, which
cover fourteen acres of ground, are
used to house the show. The largest
tent is used for the arena. 1t is
$40 feet long and among the biggest
reaches of canvass ever constructed
1t is supported by six gigantic oak
poles. larger than the largest mast
on the biggest sailing vessel The
smallest tent is used to house the
circus barber shop, while adjoining
is the library tent which is supplied
with daily papers from the leading
cities of the world.

HOW SOLDIERS MAY
| BECOME CITIZENS

Through a misunderstanding of the
laws governing their admission to cit
izenship in the United States following
their honorable discharge from the
United States army after service in
the war with Germany, many aliens
applying for naturalization in the dis
trict court have met with disappaint-
ment and inconvenience, according to
statement made by Judge E. J. l..
Taber
In order to foster more widespread
acquaintance with the provisions of
the naturalization laws in regard to
these cases, Judge Taber wrote to the
chief naturalization examiner of the
department of labor in Washington.
asking for exposition of the law. The
reply is published in part below. be-
ing from George A. Cruthchfield. the
chief naturalization examiner in San
Francisco:
MY dear Judge Taber:
Replying to your letter dated July
20. 1919, relating to the procedure
under which soldiers who have been
honorably discharged after service in
the present war may be naturalized
/ enclose herewith, as requested, a
copy of the latest edition of the natur-
alization laws and regulations.
II will add, however, that under
date of July 19, 1919. congress passed
another act providing that Any per-
son of foreign birth who served in
the military or naval forces of the

tance by the said military or naval
authorities and shall have been hon.
orably discharged after such accep-
tance, shall have the benefits of the
seventh. subdivision of section 4 of
the act of June 20. 1906 and
shall not be required to pay any fee
therefore; and this provision shall
continue for the period of one year

BILE for citizenship by the court, he
may be admitted on the same day
that the petition is filed. He may not
file petition until he has passed the
preliminary examination before a
United States naturalization exam
iner, because it is required that a
inerrecord of such examinations be
filed with the petition.
"It is suggested that all honorably
discharged soldiers who desire natur-
alization appear in the clerks Office
on the next regular day for hearing
naturalization cas.s. The naturaliza-
tion examiner, who will then be pres
ent, will make the preliminary exam

RINGER READY
FOR CLEANUP OF
DETENTION HOME
Commissioner Asks Council to
: Take Hand in Changing
Conditions at City De-
tention Hospital.

Following repeated charges in The
Bee of Encouragement and of cul-
tivating and encouraging the use of
narcotic drugs in the Women's De-
tention home, Police Commissioner
Dean Ringer appeared before the
city council yesterday with a
proposition which, he believes, will
enlarge the scope of the institution,
delegate additional authority to DR..
Palmer Findley, the medical direc-
tor, and place the home on more
business-like basis. doing away with
any possibilities of petty grating.
Mr.. Ringer made no reference to
the severe criticism which recently
has been directed at himself, Chief
of Police Eberstein and others re-
sponsible for the state of affairs
which prevail at the Detention home,
He presented new ordinance
which contemplates giving the
health commissioner and his as
sistants additional authority in the
suppression of social diseases. -
The police commissioner made NO
attempt to explain whether or not
the new ordinance contemplated the
continuance of administering dope
to the inmates four times a day. as
has been charged, extending over a
period for as long as so and 90 days
Makes No Explanation.
Neither was there any attempt to
answer the charge that at least one
physician connected with the De-
tention home had collected money
from girls who were willing to pay
for exemption from imprisonment in
the institution.
SThe ordinance was referred to the
city council committee of the whole
for discussion next Monday morn
ing. \
A provision of the ordinance
states that any person convicted in
court of competent jurisdiction
on charge of keeping a house Of
prostitution, or being an inmate, or
Of soliciting, shall be subjected to
examination by the health depart
ment.
If the convicted person is found
to be contaminated with social dis
ease, then the health commissioners
shall have authority to issue an
order of commitment to the home
for treatment.
Commissioner Ringer declared it
was his idea to have the ordinance
apply to men as we'll as women.
Would Enlarge Home.
The ordinance designates the City
Detention home as the official place
for examination, detention and treat
ment.

Vigorous discussion among the

ton was made about the adoption OF
the proposed change in name of the

of Ministers and Churches.
Rev. Titus Lowe, pastor of the
First Methodist church, protested
vigorously against the original plan
of the church federation barring pas
tors and laymen of Jewish and Uni
tartan churches. He recommended
the broad plan of church association
in that any denomination should be
admitted into the newly reorganized
