SUNSET MINE Will .
have INSPECTION

In the action of President j. D.
Spiker of the Sunset Mining & Devel-
opment Company, whose mine is To-
Gated at Unionville, in sending a
prominent mining engineer, name un-
learned, with General Manager F. W.
Lockman to inspect the property, is
seen the preparation for large devel-
opment work to commence there this
spring. The property is probably bet
ter known here as the Busch mine.
The general manager and the en-
gineer arrived at the property yester-
day and the report of their findings is
awaited with much interst. 1t is said
that the Sunset is one of the most
perfectly developed mines in the State
and this, coupled with the fact that
great quantities of bonanza ore were
shipped from there many years ago,
all from comparatively shallow depth,
and the recent expenditure of large
sum for the building and equipment
of a flotation mill, the first unit of
which is now nearing completion, all
seem to point to bright future for
the property. A number OF miners
are at work developing the mine.

by gave notice that he would intro
duce bill providing for consolidation

COMPLETE DETAILS
FOR ATHLETIC CLUB

Next Monday night at z o'clock is
the time set by the committee appoint
ed to formulate plans for the organi-
zation OF an athletic association, the
meeting to be held in the high school
auditorium. The committee, consiting
of +. A. Smith, s. NJ. Erskine and Ger
hardt Tholen, has been hard at work
during the past week working up the
idea. Their tentative conclusions, ii
is understood, are to make the ath-
letic association city organization,
men women and children to be eligible
for membership; baseball teams are
to be formed and everything of a like
nature 1t is thought that because of
organization much of the friction of
past attempts at recreation will be
averted.

mittee desires it announced that
everyone, men, women, boys and girls,
are invited and urged to attend the
meeting in the high school auditorium

FIRST NEVADA BILL
BY WOMAN SOLON

The Legislature of Nevada may be
said to have gotten into its stride yes
terday, and the session was marked
by one peculiar event. Mrs. Hurst of
Washoe presented the first measure
to be interduced by a woman in the
Nevada Legislature. 1t was a joint
resolution asking Congress to pass
the equal suffrage amendment The
resolution was referred to the COM
mittee ON ways and means.

according to custom.
Senator Harrington. 1t provides for
an appropriation of 100000 for cur
rent expenses at the State printing
office. This sum is eventually de-
Quoted from the general appropria-
tion BILL and ii is in effect an einer-
gency appropriation, as the money is
in the treasury and if it could not be
used the State printer would have to
pay interest to the banks until such
time as the general appropriation bill
is passed.
Senate resolution No. l, introduced
by Hesson, provides for an allowance
of $50 to each member for stamps
and other expenses.

MOTION PICTURES
READY FOR WIS.

The moving picture projecting ma
chine formerly used in the Nixon
Opera House has .been purchased for
use in the high school. 1t will be of
inestimable value, according to Pro-
fessor Scott, in the studies of history,
commercial geography, chemistry,
physics and geology. A number of
films and many slides are already
available for each of the topics and
more are forthcoming all the time.
The work of selecting and recon-
mending films and slides for educa-
tional purposes is conducted by the
National Educational Bureau and the
high school here will have the adj
vantage of the efforts of that organi-
zation
A projection room is already in the
high school building, built facing the
auditorium stage, and all that is
necessary now is to erect the machine
and to secure the pictures. The work
will probably be finished and the new
method of studying inaugurated with
in the next two weeks.

ENCOURAGE AUTOS
OF CA[|F.TOURISTS

That Nevada should make an effort
to attract tourists to the State, either
from California or elsewhere, instead
of driving them away by making them
nay an automobile license when they
remain in the State for month or
more, is an opinion expressed by sew
eral business men of Reno, according
to the Gazette. 1t is reported that
Assemblyman Hill of Washoe county
will introduce an amendment to the
automobile license bill which will pre-
vent the alleged practice of California
owners of cars in evading payment of
licenses in Nevada under the present
thirty-day provision.
Hundreds of Nevada people tour
California every year and are not
required to take out a California IL
cense," assorted one man. "They may
register and spend ninety days in that
state, running on their Nevada Ii
cense. Nevada should reciprocate."
An effort will be made to amend the
automobile law so as to place collec-
ton of automobile licenses in care of
the department of highways instead
of with the Secretary of State. The
fact that money secured from auto
mobile licenses goes to the depart
ment of highways anyway. and that
this department has men in all parts
of the State, it is contended, would
be an incentive for the full collection
of licenses.
An amendment TO the automobile
headlight law, regulating the use of
spot-lights and providing for strict
enforcement OF the law, also will be
introduced, according to reports.

SURPRISE PARTY
FOR Sub SINKER

Probably one of the most thorough
ly enjoyed parties given in Winnie
mucca for a long period of time
was the one given last night by Mr..
and Mrs. II. Erskine at their home in
West First street in honor of Harry S.
Waggoner, a navy boy who is here
visiting his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. A. l..
Waggoner and family. 1t was a sur
prise party, the young patriot being
under the impression that he was
merely going to the picture show with
the Erskines. But when the time
came to go he was confronted by
about twenty school chums and sew
eral older friends. The whole party
then went to the American theatre to
see the movies, later returning to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Erskine for the
remainder of the festivities.
When the party sat down to refresh
ments after the theatre party, Wag-
goner was urged to tell about his ex-
periences, but his modesty was too
great, and no wonder, for his accom-
plishments in the service are many
Speeches were made by some of those
present in an effort to loosen Harry's
tongue, but it couldn't be done. Such
good time was had that the invited
guest were loath to leave even an at
early hour this morning.
Gaining the information in other
ways, the following is part of the
story Waggoner could have told had
he desired to cover himself with
glory:
When war was declared by the
United States he was one of the first
who wanted to go. He was IL years
old then and had first to gain a heart
Tending permission from his parents.
He enlisted in the navy; consequently
he still has two and one-half years
to serve. After the usual, or perhaps
shorter than usual training, he was
assigned to a built-oyer yacht, named
the Christobal which was used for
submarine chaser.
A whole story is told by the en-
blems attached to Harry's jacket-a
gold stripe for overseas service" a
circle for qualified gun pointer" an
E for excellent target shooting" and
finally star for sinking an enemy
submarine.
Harry did not tell last night of how
he helped daub the star on the smoke
stack of the chaser; he didn't tell of
eight convoy trips he made to help
protect American transports; he
didn't tell of steaming across the At
lantic in weather which resulted in
his being soaked and going hungry for
days, not from seasickness but be-
cause the small craft pitched so hard
eating was impossible; he didn't tell
of his ship meeting and saluting the
ship carrying President Wilson on his
way to the peace conference he didn't
tell of sinking a submarine Decoration
Day, May 80. Nor did he tell of Off
GERS standing beside him with drawn
revolvers. ready to use them on him or
anyone else if they showed the slight
est nervousness while handling their
guns when they encountered sub
the reason being that should nervous
ness be displayed it might create a
panic, in which case disaster would be
sure to occur and they might all lose
their lives. And that's only part OF
what he could have said.
Harry is here on a furlough. He
