Some two months ago, when the

by Nevada newspapers. the Good

that Clark County had a much-loved

The name mentioned was Samuel

full practical experience; but the Ga
zette (Reno, this time), said in Spell
lier's political column hat it was not
informed as TO Mr.. Arentz's politics.
Samuel Shaw AREN'T, of Simpson,
Nevada, is a Republican, but a pro-
gressive one, as he describes himself.
He freely admits that he has voted
for a Democrat at times when there
was not a good man on the Repub-
lican ticket" He is such a mining
engineer as the Goodsprings Gazette
Indicated, but he is also a Nevada
rancher. His home is on a ranch
near Simpson. Also, has vas a captain
of engineers during the late war, and
Is now a member of the American
Legion. He is married and has four
children.
The Silver State takes much pleas
ure in presenting to its readers this
short sketch OF Mr.. Arentz's life.
He is a possible candidate for Con-
gress. He has said nothing to this
newspaper about his political plans.
Mr.. AREN'T is forty years old. He
was born at Chicago. Illinois. in 1879:
attended public schools in that city,
and graduated from the Manual High
school there in 1897. He became a
mechanical apprentice and craftsman
for two years. and afterward worked
as surveyor, miner, timberman and
shift boss for the Butte & Bear Gulch
in Montana, and in the Lake Superior
copper country. This occupied an
other two years OF his life.
He became a student in the South
Dakota School of Mines, from which
institution he graduated in 1904 with
the degrees of BIS. and EN-. Then
he went to work again as a miner in
lead-silver mines of Utah. He be-
came superintendent of a gold prop
erty in Arizona, and then foreman of
a gold-silver property at Silver City,
Idaho. Rising steadily in his profess
sion. he became mining engineer for
lead-silver-copper properties at Bing-
ham, Utah.
For six years. up to 1912, Mr..
Arentz( was experimentation the
Nevada Douglas Copper Company at
Y~erington, during which time he con-
structed the Nevada Copper Belt rail-
road from Wabuska to Ludwig. He
resigned this position to become chief
engineer and superintendent of con-
struction for the Salt Lake & Utah
railway. a 72-mile electric interurban
This work occupied his at
until the beginning of the war
in 1914. He was then selected as a
consulting engineer for the United
States bureau of mines.
MFR. AREN'T still retains active min
ing interests, and has an extensive
correspondence as consulting engi-
because of his extensive and
successful experience in this part of
the United States. He financed and
operated the Lakeview mine at Pro-
montory Point. Utah: the Ingomar
mine at Goodsprings. Nevada, and he
has leases in several sections of the
country.
A glance at Mr.. Arentz's photo
graph Is sufficient to convince the
average Nevadan that here is an hon
est man. and capable. II he aspires
to Congress 1t might be well worth
while to consider his claims. I'm
doubtedly the people Of this State are
looking for practical and honest men
to represent them. Undoubtedly they
are tired of the professional politi-

Frosty, succeed; and through the blue serene,
For sight too fine. the ethereal Niter flies.
All Nature feels the renovating force

In ruin seen. The frost-concocted Glebe

The purer Rivers flow. their sullen deeps
Transparent, open to the Shepherds gaze,
And murmur hoarser at the fixing frost.
