enough money is available for explor-

already mine in every sense of the

These claims have been developed
to such an extent that a large body of

large ore body has been determined.
Mrs. Rose has been working on these
claims for several years and has been
one who has never lost faith in the

What is thought to be the largest

Nevada went dry was taken yesterday
at Goleonda. Upon information previ-
ously received, District Attorney
Powell and Constable Brady of Col

morning while most people were
peacefully sleeping. They went to

and searched the premises of the

Y Arascada, formerly proprietor of
the Star hotel in this city.
In an old well in the rear of the
hotel the officers discovered 191 cases
Of whiskey, consisting of Old Cont
mental, Canadian Club and Canadian
wiskey from Corby's of Corbyville,
Canada. Thirty cases of the Old Con-
tinental brand were in twenty-four-
bottle cases. The whiskey was hoisted
from the well and is now locked up in
the offices of the Golconda Cattle

bound over to the grand jury for trial
before the district court. No one else
is implicated
Powell said this morning that he
has reported to federal authorities and
expects them to take hand in the
matter too. He also said, however,
that regardless Of action by govern
ment authorities he intends to prose-
cute Arascada on the state charge. He
would not, of course, divulge the exact
nature of evidence obtained that Aras-
cada actually sold or had the whiskey
for sale, as alleged.
One hundred and ninety-one cases
of whiskey, thirty of which contained
twenty-four bottles each and the rest
twelve bottles each, gives total of
1852 bottles seized in the raid yester-
day. At current bootlegging prices of
$40 per quart the haul represents a
value of approximately $26,520.00.
District Attorney Powell said to
The Silver State today:
"We might just as well end this
business up now as to fool along for

that the bootleggers so far appre-
hended are foreign born is merely in

zen, who boasts his love and venera-
ton for Old Glory while violating the
laws enacted under it, and who fol-
lows the biblical Injunction to mot let

tions. he is nursing a dream, and

The decision of the Public Service
Commission of Nevada concerning the
asked-for increases in rates by the
Winnemucca Water and Light Com
pany. was received here this morning
The whole opinion is logical and fair.
1t has been decided by all parties in
terested, and differs from the general
run of opinions in that it is not dry"
reading but is interesting in its
entirety.
Briefly, the commission has denied
the application of the water and light
company for increased electricity
rates, but granted advance applied for
in the water service department AL
together, the decision will go far to-
wards clearing up questions which
have caused debate and at the same
time pave the way for adequate water
supply In case of fires.
The opinion is printed below in full.
but particular attention will be called
TO paragraphs therein contained. For
instance. paragraph refers to pro-
posed development of an additional
water supply. Asked about this por-
tion of the opinion this morning.
Superintendent f. II. Gilman of the
water and light company said that a
crew of men is now at work driving a
ffInnRl ahnnf q pniIa al
pany's upper Water Canyon reservoir.
This is being done on advice of engi-
neers for the purpose of developing
underground water sources. The tun-
mel is TO be cut 7x3 feet for distance
of from 500 to 500 feet, a task which
will require about four months time
at an approximated cost of $4,000.
All engineers who have looked into
the proposition agree that indications
are good for supply of water when
that much or less work has been ac-
complished
Gilman said: The commission is
banking great deal on this tunnel
developing water supply. If we get
il everything will be all right. IL not
it is possible an increase for lighting
will be allowed. as we are now actu-
ally manufacturing juice at loss.
II we get the water we expect because
Of the tunnel it will be possible for us
TO generate all electricity by water
power. thus shutting down the steam
power plant and saving huge bills for

E. Reinhart. treasure and general
manager OF the water and light com
pany, when asked what he thought of
decision, said that he considered
il fair. He added that II the tunnel
for water proved up to expectations,
and indications are good that it will
il may even be possible that the com
pany will voluntarily reduce the in
creased rate for water.
Mayor T. A. Brandon is satisfied
with the outcome of the hearing. He
pointed out this morning that II makes
little difference whether the city OF
the consumers pay the increased rev
enue to the water company. so long
as II has to be paid. The fact that the
commission promises increased water
and better mains for fire protection. in
consideration of the $500 per month

opinion by Commissioner Simmons
/. On April 5, 1919, the Whine
mucca Water and Light Company filed
with the commission a new schedule
of rates for light and water in the
city of Winnemucca, Nevada, to be-
come effective May 10, 1919. The
schedule of rates filed was a substan-
tial increase in the rates in effect. On
May /, protest was filed with the
commission against the proposed rates

represented by ]. A. Langwith, City
Attorney. requesting a hearing and in
vestigation. On May 6, at a genera
meeting, the commission entered an
order suspending the proposed sched-
uie OF rates, pending an investigation
and set the case for final hearing al

was represented by its attorneys

secretary; the complainants by T. A
Brandon, mayor of Winnemucca.
2. We will first consider the elec.
trio department of the company
plant. While this part of the com.
pany's property shows decreased
earnings for the year 1918, it is not at
all clear that the loss is permanent or
that 1t could not be met by a more
efficient and economical method of op-
GRAFTON. The loss in revenue from the
burning of the FL Dorado Hotel and
the closing. down of the Winnemucca
Mountain Mining Company would ap-
pear to be temporary, as the hotel is
being rebuilt and the mining company
is partially resuming operations. As
disclosed by the report of the com
missions engineer. the steam plant
now in operation, while modern and
efficient, Is too large for economical
operation, and an oil-burning plant
could be installed that would mate
rally lessen the cost of operation and
thereby effect saving.
3. The company. upon the advice
of competent engineers, is at the pres
ent time actively engaged in prospect
ing for the Development of an addi-
tional water supply. with fair pros
pect of success. Should their expecta-
tions be realized. sufficient water will

by eliminating the operation of the ex-
pensive steam plant 1t would not
seem advisable. however, to make any
change in the present steam plant,
pending developments in the attempt
to secure the additional water supply.
4. The company's past methods of
accounting. particularly with refer
ence to amounts set aside for depre-
citation, are not clear. and the COM
mission is not advised as to what dis
position was made of these items. In
