CHRISTMAS EVE DANCE
LARGELY ATTENDED
Eureka-Croesus Employees and
Friends Of Eugene Davis Enter
tanned at Eureka Theatre

Through the thoughtful generosity
of Eugene Davis, Eureka had treai
ON Christmas eve which will long be
remembered as one of the happiest
occasions the people of the town have
ever enjoyed.
About two hundred guests gathered
at the Eureka Theatre after the pic.
ture show, and danced until the wee
sma' hours.
Attractive favors in the form OF
brightly colored paper caps which
added an air of festivity and gayety
to the party were distributed by Miss
Harriet Hope and Master Angelo
Florio at the beginning of the eve
ming, and from then until the strains
of Home Sweet Home were heard
there was not dull moment.
The hall was prettily decorated with
the usual Christmas decorations.
Promptly at IL o'clock, the electric
lights were turned out and the dan
GERS waltzed in the light of sparklers
carried by each couple, the shooting
stars from which emphasized the
spirit of Christmas. Soon some one
realized that 1t was Christmas day,
and the seasons greetings were ex-
changed back and forth across the
floor.
Shortly after midnight all ad-
journed to the Merry Aldo where
Miss Isabel Merialdo had prepared
and served a very dainty supper.
Punch was served during the evening
at the hall.
The only regret was that the one
who had made such a pleasant eye
ming possible was unable to be pres
ent. He sent the following telegram
which was read:
Lee Harris. Eureka. Nevada.
PLEASE express to everybody
present at the Christmas Eve
party my regret at not being able
" Dc Win thSh, anu Soy en"s
wish each and every one of them
good time and the merriest
Christmas and the happiest and
most prosperous New Year they
have ever had. The coming year
is full of promise of prosperity
for Eureka and every one in 1t,
and we all have reason to be
happy. EUGENE DAVIS.
Lee Harris, who personally rep
resented Mr.. Davis, had charge of the
arrangements for the dance and was
proclaimed by all an ideal host.

TAX COLLECTORS FAIL
IN WHISKY SEIZURE

WINNEMUCCA, Nevada, Dec. 49,
An attempt was made by Frank l..
Reber, Deputy Revenue Collector. and
William Walker, an agent from Col
lector Wardell's Office in San Fran
cisco, to seize the Arrascada whisky
being held in the Jail here. The men
appeared at the jail and demanded of
Deputy Sheriff G. G. Smith that he
turn the liquor over to them, saying
that they were going to seize 1t for
the tax of $3.50 which they figured
was due as additional tax imposed
after the regular tax had been paid.
Smith was advised by District Attor-
ney Powell that the liquor would
only be given up on the order of a
higher court than the Supreme Court
of Nevada and he refused to surren-
der it.

nounced to-day that the Government
pure wheat -four is now on sale in
small packages, "at moderate prices,
in hundreds of retail grocery stores
throughout the country and mer-
chants selling it will be provided on
application with posters advising
their customers of the fact. In a
supplementary statement issued by
Watson S. Moore, second vice presi-
dent of the corporation, consumers
are informed that the -four is in no
sense a war or substitute article but
derived from pure wheat.
1.-The regular -four trade" said Mr..
Moore, should also understand that
this campaign is in no sense designed
to discredit their regular business or
the brands which they ordinarily han
die. They recognize, l am sure that
this is but part of general campaign
on the part of the Government to re-
duce the high cost of living"
MIR. Moore added that rumors of a
-four shortage are utterly without
foundation and that in fact, -four
stocks are approximately fifty per
cent larger than they were at this
time last year.

PITTMAN LAND BILL POPULAR

Federal Land Receiver A. B. Gray
of the Carson Land Once continues
to receive many applications for rlands
under the Pittman bill allowing filing
for one cent an acre on land that IL
to be developed through underground
water prospecting. Some have ap-
piled for the full four quarter SEC
tions. but most Of the applicants have
confined themselves to $40 acres,
hoping to secure the pro rata through
water development. Several thous-
and dollars are now on hand await
ing land schedules from the depart
ment, which to date have not made
their appearance.
AS Mrs. Pittman, wife of the SEN
ator, has made application for land,
also one brother and a number Of
friends, 1t is believed that the Sem
ator will urge. the forwarding of in
structions that this matter will be
cleared up. Money is on hand from
the Federal act relating to home
steading range lands, but there being
no designations of lands this cash
has been held for over two years
awaiting departmental action. In one
instance over $500 was recently with
drawn from the Federal land office.

BELIEVES HIGH SILVER
PRICE WILL CONTINUE

w. e. Upham, a well known mining
engineer Of New York, has been in
Eureka for a week examining certain
properties and getting information
about the district at large. Mr.. up
ham is a firm believer in a high price
for silver. and said:
From all sides the demand for
silver to be used In coinage is in
creasing. and there is every indica-
tion that for many years to come this
demand will continue. The issue of
paper money by many of the Euro
pean nations is not popular at homo,
nor does 1t satisfy their creditors In
other lands. The peak of the worlds
gold production has probably been
reached. and silver will, of necessity,
be used for all subsidiary metallic
coins. In spite of the present prices
for silver the quantity produced each
year Is not going to show very pro-
nounced increase. There is a lin
tied occurrence of this metal as we'll
as of gold, and a point Is easily
reached where the ore contents will
not pay to work. So in spite of pres
ent values, silver is not going to
become too abundant to maintain its
selling price at a figure of $1.30 per
ounce or more. =
II am, Of course, impressed with
the possibilities of the Eureka dis
trict; and that good times are ahead
for the famous old camp is beyond
doubt. The history of the region
shows that great fortunes were ex-
tracted when silver was formerly at
its present figure. With its past rec
ord, the ore now being extracted
from the working mines, and con-
ception of the large area of mineral-
ICED limestones that is practically un-
touched, there is every reason for
believing that not only the old mines
will soon be rejuvenated, but that
many more profitable ones can be de-
veloped."

Young Mother Passes Away Christ
mas Day Under Particularly
Sad Circumstances

1t is the "Sentinel's" duty to an
nounce a particularly sad death this
week in the passing of Mrs. Isadore
Sara at their ranch home at Roberts
Creek, Eureka County, at a. m. on
December 25.
She died of what is termed eclamp-
sia, a condition characterized by Sc
we're convulsions and occurs in wo-
men only during pregnancy. This is
a rare and dangerous disease, hap
pening only once in about 600 cases,
and is due to the liver and kidneys
being unable to perform their proper
functions. Mrs. Sara had ten con-
vulsions before the arrival of DR..
Bremen of Eureka, and was uncon-
scious from the first one until re-
lie. by death. DR.. Bremen per-
forr an operation to terminate
pregna cy. in an effort to relieve the
condition.
Since severe attack of the flu at
the Mayo Bros hospital at Rochester,
Minn., year ago last Fall, Mrs. Sara
has not enjoyed good health, and Mr..
Sara had her in San Francisco under
medical treatment for a number Of
months, bringing her and the chill
dren home last September.
She was particularly affable, gen.
teel and of ladylike ways and man
ners, and during her visits and resi-
dence in Eureka at intervals formed
acquaintances and friends whose sin
cere sympathy and coincidence will be
extended the stricken husband and
three young children.
She was native of Aldudes, France,
and SO years, months and % days
Of age; was reared and educated in
her home land, those ties being deep
ly implanted within her. She was a
devoted wife and mother, and her
place in the home cannot be filed.
Beside her husband and three
young children, she is survived by a
father, mother and one brother in
France; four brothers, Peter, Leon,
John and Joannes Ardans, all living
n Nevada; and two sisters, Mrs.
Pierre Lexague and Mrs. Pierre Sam
sinena, residing in Cedarville, Cali
fornia.
To permit of the arrival of distant
relatives the funeral will be held in
Eureka next Tuesday forenoon.
