STILL DISPUTE
over PAVING
City Officials and Fifteenth Street
Property owners FAN to
Reach Agreement

No agreement was reached be-
tween the aldermen and a commit
tee Of property owners last eve
ming, when they met to discuss
plans for financing the Fifteenth
street repaving project 1t looks
like q court fight, remarked one OF
the men. The last word from the
property owners was, In substance:
Our petition is now before the
council. Let's have some action of
some kind on that"
That petition was submitted last
summer and provides for q $3.50
plan Of meeting the cost of the i'm
provements. More than half Of the
council members have definitely
stated they will mot vote for .
$3.50 proposition. Aldermen In
sufficient numbers have spoken
plainly enough to warrant . further
prediction: Fifteenth street will be
ordered paved and the cost assessed
to property owners in the regular
way, that is, property owners pay
all. 49,
Leaders Of the property owners
announced they will not pay all
They made limitations that q pay
all proposition will be fought in
the courts. The main contention OF
the property owners centers around
the allegation that the present pave
ment was . poor job. that the peo-
pie who paid for it didn't get their
moneys worth. The aldermen con-
tend that more than the guaran-
teed life Of the paving has elapsed
and that payment Of any part Of
the paving by the city would set q
precedent which would lead to trou.
BILE in all other street Improvement
projects.

AS A JACKRABb|T
DODCfS BUCKSHOT

Somebody has found Death Valley
Scotty's famous mine in the sand
blown wastes of the mysterious Death
Valley. or thereabouts. That is the
report reaching Goldfeld from a man
who once claimed to have found a
petrifed ship in the region of the
Amargosa.
Many people are leaving every
where for Ubehebe. or Tin Mountain,
or thereabouts, eighty miles south OF
G~oldfeld. where a discovery of four
feet wide of $65, 900 ore is reported.
Ubehebe is in California and will
soon be the center of the universe,
according to all reports. The Ube-
hebe excitement is not appreciated in
Goldfeld to it's fullest extent, al
though several have left for there;
but the town may warn up to 1t
later. In California the district has
achieved fame, not for the first time,
because Ubehebe was famous in the
early udyS VI 0OiolSi0s SHSfs~
ment has reached as far north as
| Sacramento and is or its way to the
| Oregon line with the speed of a jack
rabbit trying to dodge a charge OF
buckshot.
But to return to Scotty's mine. II
is reported that a man trailed the
mysterious one to the mine. Scotty,
never thinking that after all these
years some one would find his bo-
nanza, had failed to locate it; and
the man who had trailed Scotty put
up his monuments and became the
owner slick as a.whistle.
Stranger things have ~@happened
date and place unknown. than some
one finding Scotty's mine; and the
Tule Canyon miners always did say
Scotty had a mine and that they had
seen rich ore from it.-GGoldheld

SIMON LEAD MINES SAID TO
BE SINKING in SPLENDID ORR

Excellent Roadway is being made
in shaft sinking on the Simon lead
mine near Nina. The shaft is now
down $50 feet, or fifty feet below the
300-foot level; and, as predicted, all
in ore. When the 40O-foot level is
reached a station will be cut and the
crosscut started for the hanging wall.
and drifts will be run both ways along
the footwall side of the ledge. On
an orebody of that size. tonnage is
being added at an enormous rate.
The company is well financed. AS
an illustration of what the people of
the little village of Nina think of the
mine and its future, last week it was
decided to place a small block of
treasury stock in Tonopah at fifty
cents per share. but before instruc-
tons could reach Tonopah the people
of Nina had subscribed the entire
block and the order sen to Tonopah
had to be cancelled by wire. The
company is turning down applications
for stock daily.-ITonopah Bonanza.

U FOR REJOICING

We cannot lay aside. however. the
fact that this session has spent more
money for the State than any other
ever convened. and has accomplished
less. We cannot forget that it has
misused the trust which the people
placed in it and smeared it's name in
huge and grotesque characters upon
the wall devoted to failures in the
State capitol building. Thank heaven
IT is over.-lElko Independent.

WHEAT SEEDING
PRACTICALLY DONE

Vile the weather has been very bad
for seeding for the past two weeks,
seeding has been going on as we'll As
could be expected and in Ramsey
county wheat seeding is practically
done, an6 many farmers have also
seeded OATS and barley. The ground
was never in better condition at this
time of the year, and all grain that
has been sown is coming up rapidly,

Some interesting revelations Of the
inner workings Of the Consumers
United Stores Co., which were dis
closed by John J. Hastings, testifyirg
before the state banking board rs
president Of this league organization
have been made public.
Mr.. Hastings, questioned by Sec
retary of State Hall relative to the
income and profits of the Consumers
Co., which has organized more than
a half hundred ',stores companies"
and established perhaps a dozen
stores.
"They have no profits" said Mr..
Hastings of the stores. "They have
accumulated assets they get through
selling memberships. They represent
assets through cash or other secur'-
ties that the board of directors want
to invest in. About the only tact that
I can say is that they have assets anu
thew have within the power Of the
board of directors to do anything &
with the assets that is reasonable
and legitimate. They are amenable
to nobody. If they want to go and
buy a building or a couple OF banks :;
they have perfect right to do IT,
"Now," asked Mr.. Hall, "when you
get a membership from farmer who
buys an interest or membership IN
