"A WEAK WHISTLE

Our Republican contemporaries pre-
tend to be jubliant over the fact that
the total Republican vote cast for
United States Senator in Nevada last
Tuesday was greater than the Demo
cratic vote for Congressman. But
they don't tell US that five skilled poll
ticians combed the state for several

senator. Now, Il our esteemed
cotems will compare the vote cast for
the Republican candidates Nor Con-

that the Democrats outvoted the Re-

GATES TUBES STAND
VERY SEVERE TESTS

Much interest has been aroused ir
the offer of +. A. Dyer. the local
dealer in Gates Quality Products. to
give a Gates Tested Tube free with
every Gates Tire, and i'll the demonstra-
tions which have been staged to prove
the strength and stretch of the Gates
Tested Tube.
Many tests have proven the strength
and 800 per cent stretch of these
tubes Heavy trucks, with brakes set.
have been hauled around the roads,
attached to another truck with Gates
Tube. The tube stretched eight times
its own length. but held fast, and when
the test was ended it was found that
the length df the tube had not in
creased.
In another test two bales Of cotton,
weighing more than 1000 pounds,
were hung up from the ceiling, sus-
pended on a Gates Tested Tube.
They were left hanging there several
days, and when removed, the tube inn
mediately snapped back to its origi-
nal shape and length.
Small cross sections OF these tubes
have held up heavy weights, stretch
ing more than eight times the original
length and Swapping back to normal
size Immediately after the weight is
removed.
"These show the strength of these
tubes" said Mr.. Dyer, owner of the
Gates Station, On Main street. "The
Gates Red Tube is antimony cured,
which prevents deterioration and
bloom and the walls are of even
thickness throughout"

THE PASSING OF
JOHN ]. WELSH
And now it's Jack Welsh.

And now it's Jack Welsh.
Good old Jack, whose friends are
numbered by the score in mining
camps from British Columbia to
Mexico, has answered the call of time
and passed on to eternity
His big, generous heart, which al
ways responded to the appeal of one
in distress, stopped beating on Fri
day afternoon, following the shock
oil major surgical operation in San
Francisco. Though he wanted to live,
and was engaged in a mining enter
prise in which his whole interest was
sentered as never before. he met death
as he did the problems OF life, with
calm fortitude.
For number oil years Mr. Welsh
was field man for Col William Boyce
Thompson and the late George Gum,
and afterwards the Mason Valley
Mines Company, but for some time
past he has been general manager
Of the Majuba Silver Tin. and Copper
Mines Company, of which he was the
organizer. He had already developed
this property to the point where there
are many thousands OF tons of good
copper ore in sight. some of which
is unusually high grade, but he also
had conviction that hc was going
to make there the best tin mine in
the country.
Mr.. Welsh was one of the iirst to
recognize the worth of the great
Walker mine in P1umas county-and
this at time when the shaft was
down only 50 feet but the then
owners refused to sell even a control.
ling interest and he was unable to Sc
cure it ior his clients. He developed
the Mason Valley mine from a mere
prospect, and he opened it up i'll a
manner to admit il the most cconomi-
cal working. When he had done
this he asked to be relieved of work
at the mine and was sent into the
field to find another mine. 1t was
doubtless largely through his in
-lucnce that the Mason Valley com
pany was so liberal in their handling
of prospects in the eldeavor to add to
the producing mines of Nevada.
When death called him Mr.. Welsh
was in his siNtieth year Besides sew
cral brothers and sisters he leaves
IN aged mother in Chassell, Michigan,
TO whom he was devoted, He had
never married. 1t is expected that
the funeral will take place at his
mothers home.
