DR.. A. H. Elftman, consulting
engineer of Tonopah, recently said
in report on the Simon:
Many ore deposits of this char
acter carry d small amount of OBJ.
jectionable metals, such as arsenic,
antimonv and bismuth to the ex.
tent of interfering with the treat
ment Of the ore. Numerous chem
ical tests show conclusively that
the Simon ore does not contain
these elements in quantity sufficient
to be noticed.
From many milling tests it is
evideEt that the Simon ore will be
easily treated in plant where the
zinc and lead will first be separated
and then concentrated for smelling.
After allowing deductions for min
ing, loss in separation and concen-
tration, ETC., the net profit on the
ore should be from IS to 81 per ton
at least.''
Construction of a line to take

This will be 50-mile line, and the

Government Approves
Walker Lake Road
Decision Makes $l4S,000 Available
for Building Highway Between
Yerington and Hawthorne

The long talked of road on the
west side of Walker Lake will soon
be reality. The decision of the
Secretary of Agriculture, who has
charge of the Federal road funds,
has settled that fact beyond all
question. The following telegram,
announcing the news was received
in Hawthorne today:
G. B. Stannard, Hawthorne, New.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
approved the project for the road west side
of Walker Lake, granting seventy-four
thousand dollars to be used in the construc-
tion. Thanks for your cooperation.
G. G. Cotrell
AS the highway law passed by TIE
last Legislature, its passage being
largely due to the efforts of Assem-
blyman G.. B. Stannard of Mineral
County, provides that the State
shall appropriate an amount equal
to that provided by the govern
ment, there is now a -ailable for
the construt ting of this road S14S, .
900.
1t is probable that work on the
road will begin sometime in July or
August, and it is possible it will be
ready for use before the end of the
present year.

Nevada Rand a Shipper

Along with the present boom in
Mineral county, the Nevada Rand
property, situated in the Rand dis.
trict east of Walker lake, appears
to be doing its part in the actual
production of ore and since March
has shipped five car loads of high
grade. The ore run about $40.
One lot milled $685. per ton.
Manager Rudderow states that
most of the shipping ore was taken
from the $50 Level. At depth OF
2lo feet a well-defned vein has
been encountered that averages
$50 per ton, and through this
samples have been taken running
24o ounces silver and IS ounces
gold.
In addition to the ore shipped
with only small force underground
considerable quantity of SIS ore
has been mined and dumped and
the company is preparing to build
mill to handle the product at
lower cost.
The underground work is IL

Malatesta Hits High
Grade Near MT. Grant

Joe Malatesta and partners have
encountered a vein of high grade
silver ore in their claim in the
Walker Lake mining district, about
four miles west of town.
The ore was struck in the shaft
at depth of 20 feet below the SUR
face, and the owners are confident
that they are on the trail of a real
bonanza.
Samples of the ore are on exiiib-
ition in Adams and Millers store,
and experts claim that the ore will
run between $500 and $500 to the
ton. The strike has caused con
siderable excitement among local
mining men.

FAIRY TALE Fl
MRS. INDIAN ELEPHANT
1y ttary Graham b bonner g,!..s!

Mrs. Indian Elephant performed
many fine tricks. She was a great
favorite in the zoo and the children
used to come and see her. Then she
would do her fine tricks and the chill
dren would give her peanuts. They
would give her as many as the keeper
said she could have.
They didn't give any that the keeper
said not to. for he knew If the ele
plants had had visitors earlier in the
day who had been feeding them. And
he knew how much elephants should
ent and what they shouldn't eat.
As the children didn't want to make
the elephants sick they used to ask
the keeper If they could have anything
to eat that day.
Mrs Indian Elephant had once been
I'm n circus and the other zoo elephants
had not.
She used to tell the other elephants
the story of her circus days, how she
would go from town to town and how
she would lead grent parades. She
would describe the beautiful lady who
rode on her back In the parade for
the town and the parade for the cir
Gus.
She would tell how she used to lie
down and wave flags and how she
could pick up the circus man and
carry him about. She used to tell the
other zoo animals how the people
clapped, how the boys and girls would
scream with delight.
She had seen so many, many chill
dren, more than even came to the zoo.
"And 1t was funny" she used to say,
"but I would think to myself, Now in
this town we're coming to surely there
will be no children
But there always were children, In
every single town. Yes, friends" Mrs.
Elephant would say, 81 have never
been in town where there are no
children. / imagine town must be
very, very rare that has no children,
and ] don't believe there Is such
place.

Owing to the proportions of the

see suits and dresses bought in equal

always a question of n choice between
the two styles of garments. with rare

TRUE LOVE LAUGHS AT AGE
Shafts Of Father Time Poweriess to
Affect Those Blessed With Mutu-
al Affection.

Ordinarily. we would cuss to the lin
1t ''peeper" or an eavesdropper. But
we have confession to make on the
first count, and we would plead miti-
eating circumstances. Here is the
story:
On drizzling. foggy night. our way
lay down a side street toward home.
Several rods ahead there was shaft
Of light and when we reached the spot
we found window with the shade
halfway up. Wickedly, but not mali
ciously. we hesitated, stOpped-and we
peeped.
There sat an old man and his wife.
They must have been well up to the
allotted three-score Of years. He was
smoking and she was knitting. Still
we peeped. Then she looked up ut him
and smiled and said something. He
laid down book, struggled up from
out of his comfortable seat and kind
of hobbled out of the room, shortly
returning and carrying glass OF wa
ter, which he handed to her.
And as she drank she held the
wrinkled and bony hand of her lover.
Then, as she finished drinking. she re-
leased his hand and the look she gave
him and the look he gave her were like
shafts of sunshine breaking through
the murky clouds after days of rain.
That picture has haunted us long
time. Somehow she seems beautiful in
our eyes, and yet we did not get u
closeup" of her features. And he,
why as we keep thinking of him, we
hark back to the days when we once
visited IA fine old Southern gentleman
who possessed the graces of Chester
field and the courtesy of Don Juan.
Then we recall the words of a poet
which fits the case precisely: Let
Time reach out with his sickle as far
as ever he can; although he, can reach
ruddy cheeks and ripe lips and HASH
ing eyes, he cannot quite reach love-"
When man really loves woman
she will never grow old. and when
woman loves Il man he is neither de-
creplt nor bowed nor tremulous. she
is the same lass he wooed and he Is
always the same gallant young fellow
who won her heart and her hand.
They are absolutely equals, happy ana
free. These two lovers are travelling
toward the City of Silence, but they
are leaving behind Il picture never TO
be forgotten.-Fremont Herald.
