WORK BEGINS ON
A new FL DORADO

Work on the excavation of the old
FL Dorado hotel corner was started
promptly this morning by George
Clark, the contractor. AS soon as the
removal OF debris from the fire and
excavation is completed, it is under
stood that work will be commenced

This program was decided on, and
the contract for excavating awarded,
at the regular monthly meeting of di-
rectors of the First National, which
ran late into Thursday afternoon.
vice-President Sheehan says: I'VE
will spare no expense or effort TO
make this the most magnificent hotel
in the State of Nevada, with elegant
furnishings and appointments. In
the banking Offices everything is to
be provided to equal many banks IN
the large cities of the country
All of these plans, although tn ey
have been tacitly admitted by bank
officials for some time, are yet most
welcome news to citizens of Winnie

THE SPIRIT OF STATE PRESS
Is, PROSPERITY Is IN THE AIR

In leading editorial in its issue of
yesterday the Reno Evening Gazette
remarks: Divide is already causing
many men from the East and from
the Coast to look around for invest
ment. They cannot all get into that
rich territory. but they realize that
never in the history of the world was
there state so widely mineralized
as is Nevada. And they will seek TO
get mine, now they are here, wher-
ever it may be located. Such condi-
tions cannot fail to rejuvenate the
entire State. Old properties will be
worked again, and with the promise
that silver will stay at remunera-
tive figure for generations, the days
CT Nevada s prosperity are once more
at hand"
All of which 10 as The Silver State
has been remarking.

GOOD PROSPECTS
IN OSCOOD RANGE

More new mining activity is re-
ported today by +. II. OJeary, mining
engineer and surveyor of this city.
who said work is to be commenced
Immediately on the Silver Lode group,
owned by himself, Jack Kirwin and
Y. Aprascada of Golconda. The group
is of four claims, located fourteen
miles northwest of Golconda in the
south end of Eden Valley. on the west
slope of the Osgood range.
A sheepherder was responsible for
the locating of the claims last Novem-
Der, he having brought pieces of the
rock to Winnemucca out of curiosity.
The present owners saw the rock,
bought the necessary information
from the herder and filed immedi-
ately. A discovery cut in the form
of a start for a shaft was made, but
work was knocked off then because
of snow and the epidemic. Reports
Thursday were that the snow was
rapidly melting from the hill.

for large mines, there being numerous

HAS BUILDING PLAN

At well-attended meeting of men
parsonage last night. among other
business matters plans were dis
cussed for a new church building in
Winnemucca. Active preparations for
the project will begin Immediately

plans were adopted should provide
for church building fully adequate

THIS Is MOVING DAY
AT court HOUSE.

Taxpayers and other citizens who
may absent-mindedly stroll into the
temporary court house, up forninst
the grammar school, next Monday,
and turn into what used to be the
office of the county clerk, will sud-
denly find themselves in the august
presence Of The Law
In other words, District Attorney
Powell has been promoted to the
front parlor, and County Clerk Davey
and his horde of attaches have been
relegated to the rear, where they
may have a better view of the west
erly mountains and the new vault
All morning has been occupied in
the moving and not paper has been
filed, so the clerk says, nor any other
county business transacted. Every
thing will be nicely settled for next
week.
Tom Shone and Charlie Guthrie are
setting the time lock, or whatever it
is, in the vault door. They declined
to give out the combination as news
item, claiming II would not be inter-
esting to a sufficient number of peo-
pie to justify the publication.
Deputy Clerk Wright thinks the
new quarters will have advantages
and disadvantages. Under the first
heading he classifies the gentle art
of answering strangers who turn into
the first door they come to and ask
question regarding the location of
different county Offices. Under dis
advantages he mentions the impossi-
bility of seeing people going by.
The c. c. is busy with yard stick
measuring things and places in a
suggestive manner. When asked il
he expected new furniture or office
equipment. he said: Il should say
not, We've got everything we're en-
titled to. Couldn't even get a screw
driver now"
Evidently he classes the vault as
an asset.
Mabel Reil, the Office stenographer
and typewriter engineer, looked pen
sively at the distant peaks as she en-
deavored to improvise variation to

and remarked that everything is all

SECOND ROUND WON in THE
DIVISION LEGAL FIGHT

The action of the supreme court
yesterday in modifying the order and
writ of prohibition to permit the con-
tinuation of the hearing for an appli-
cation for an Injunction forbidding
the alleged and pretended officers of
the alleged and pretended Pershing
county from in any way continuing
the formation of county govern
ment, is looked upon here as favor
able indication. The temporary re-
straining order issued by Judge Hart
against the pretended officers is con-
tinued in force.
A telegram to The Silver State late
this afternoon says the division case
has been set for argument on April
21. Whether action can be continued
in this district court as planned and
set for trial next Tuesday is not
