COMPRESSOR BREAKS DOWN;
MINE WORK SUSPENDED

The force of men at the Tonopah-
Kawich Mining Company's estate at
Bellehelen is taken an enforced vaca-
ton of a few days. The layoff was
oecasioned by the breaking down of
the compressor plant, Manager ]. j.
Sweet having found it necessary to
send away for certain parts.
1t is reported that in some places
there is as much as three feet of
snow on the ground. which naturally
makes transportation of ore expensive
as well as difficult. However, the
road will be improved in the imme-
date future and with an early spring
promised there will unquestionably
be a great deal of activity at the seal
of operation.-[Tonopah Times.

FLOTATION PLANT
FOR KIMBERLY Mill

Machines arrived in Battle Noun
tain the first of the week for the
Kimberly Consolidated Mining Com
pany, at Hilltop. They were later
hauled to the mines.
The company is now in readiness
to install an oil 1otation plant Is an
addition to their mill at that place,
thus getting best possible returns
from the quantities of ore of milling
grade blocked out at the mines.
S. r. Cloyt and d. ]. Nelson were
met here Tuesday by Superintendent
j. V. Fenestermaker. Mr.. Nelson, who
has had charge of a similar plant at
the Crown King in Arizona, will have
charge of the installation work at
Hilltop. For a number of years the
Kimberly has been one of the sub
~stantial shippers of the district. The
outgoing ore is principally of high
grade silver-lead content, though some
high grade copper went out during
this year.
Shipments have been retarded dur
ing the winter months because of the
impossible roads into the district.
The contract for continuous hauling
has now been let and shipping re-
sumed.
The force of men at the mines was
increased this week and the mill, with

WASHOE SENATOR is ABLE TO
GRACEFULLY STAKE A JOKE

Senator Cowles of Washoe is n OF
the men of the upper house who can
take defeat in the right spirit, and do
it gracefully. Some days ago he in
troduced a measure that would limit
the amount the State board of con-
troll might expend above its appropri-
atoms. In his original bill he limited
the expenditures to 10 per. cent over
the appropriation. When he was shown
that the men handling the funds were
doing the best they could, that the
high cost of living had hit the State
as well as the individual, and the
many items that call for relief from
wartime conditions, the Senator was
willing to table his own bill. How
ever, when it went to a vote he voted
mo" with the others. and this meas
ure is among the dead ones. The SEN
ator not only knows how to take a
joke. but can haul one out once in a
while himself.-tCarson City News.

NEVADA BENEDICTS DECLARED
TO HOLD TRADITIONAL RECORD

A press dispatch from Washington,
dated yesterday, says: Nevada, with
its celebrated Reno. ran true to form
during the war. according to General
Crowder's draft figures. 1t had the
smallest percentage of married men
registered for the draft of any state.
Only 81 per cen of the men who
signed up out there were married,
while Georgia can boast of a record
of SIS per cent. Since nine out of
every ten married men were deferred,
the Reno judges seem to have per-
formed a patriotic service.
For the information of the matri-
monially inclined, General Crowder's
figures show a shortage of husbands
in the Far West, Montana, North Da-
kota, Wyoming. South Dakota, Wash
ington, Minnesota, California and Ari-
iona being close followers of Nevada.
Old maids are warned to keep away
from the South, for closely following
Georgia in high percentage of married
men come Arkansas, South Carolina.
Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee. North
Carolina. Kentucky, Mississippi and
Texas, in the order named. all except
the last two with more than half the
registrants married.
