Sale of the Goldberg Saddlery was
made yesterday when Gus Goldberg
transferred ownership to James F.

last twenty years in travelling to the
different ranches to repair harness.
He announces the business will be
carried on in the same manner as
heretofore. the same employees to be
kept and the same high class of work
turned out.
Gus Goldberg, the seller, has been
in business here for many years, and
friends will be sorry to learn his de-
cision to sell is prompted by growing
need of attention to his large ranch
interests in Shasta county, California
He expects to be able to clean up busi-
ness matters here by July / and will
then go to California.

W|NNEMUCCA HELD
As A MODEL CITY
ELY RECORD NOTES NEW SENTI-
MENT IN CIVIC MATTERS HERE.
But FAILS TO COMMENT on
WHAT CHANGED VIEWPOINT

For nearly half century Winnie
mucca has been one of the best towns
in the state, but during all that time
1t has been lacking in civic pride. Its
residents were satisfied with condi-
tons as they were, but recently a
new spirit has been manifest, and
now the little city is up-to-date and
setting an example for other cities
in the state At recent meeting of
the city council program of i'm
provement was mapped out which in
cludes sidewalks, street paving, sewer
extension, a tourist camp ground and
other minor improvements. If Winnie
mucca had shown progressive
spirit several years ago, the chances
are that Humboldt county would not
have been divided, but anyhow, the
administration of the city deserves
praise for the enterprise which it now
manifests. Ely is one of the best
towns in the state. but for some years
past 1t has been totally lacking in
civic pride. The streets are In worse
condition than almost any road in the
county, and yet the statement was
recently made by City Councilman
Edny that 800 per month was annu-
ally spent by the city for street re-
pairs. The citizens voted down a
bonding proposition to pave Aultman
street, to build a storm sewer for
Murry district and to purchase a
camping ground for tourists. Only
thirty-one votes were cast for the
proposition. 1t has since been de-
termined by the city council to build
the storm sewer. Notwithstanding
the vote of the people OH the prop
osition. but no effort is being made
by the council for the improvement
of the main street of the town. The
city, as usual is having the holes
in the street filled with gravel and
dirt. which is thrown out by the autos
and blown away by the wind. There
Is enough money spent on the streets
of Ely in five years. according to the
statement of the city attorney. to
pave the streets. but 1t is done in such
a manner as to be practically wasted.
Without issuing bonds, it will be i'm
possible to pave the streets, and as
property owners are generally op-
posed to an increase of taxes, there
seems but little hope for better condi-
tions In the near future. Under these
sentiment is steadily growing in favor

BROKEN HILLS MINE
GETTING ATTENTION
Especial Correspondence,


RENO, June 1.-The rush to the
new mining camp of Broken Hills, in
Churchill county, sixty-three miles
southeast OF Fallon, continues un-
abated
Reports from returning pilgrims
corroborate the statement of Cover
nor Boyle that "the showing in the
Broken Hills mine is the best / have
seen in any new territory in Nevada
for many years."
1t is stated by officials of the Brok-
en- Hills Silver Corporation that a
lense of ore is in open view on the
property for a width of 120 feet and
a length of 40 feet, which seemingly
gives greater promise than any dis
covery made in the state of Nevada
since the early days of Tonopah.
Another lense of ore is stated, on
the same authority, to measure fifty
five feet wide by 130 feet long.
More remarkable even is the fact
that these two lenses are said offici-
ally not to be the main vein. The
main vein runs parallel to these de-
posits for distance of 2100 feet The
vein is from three to nine feet wide
and the ore averages more than fifteen
dollars per ton, as broken in the mine
without any sorting out of the waste
rock broken with it.
To date $50 tons have been shipped
to the smelters that averaged $120
per ton. This is the product
of a high-grade streak down to the
150-foot level, the deepest working.
Besides the main shaft, which has
been sunk to the 150-foot point on
the main vein. there are three other
shafts which expose the vein over a
big area.

PRACTICE COMPLETE
FOR SENIOR FARCE

Patsy will arrive at the high school
tomorrow evening at eight o'clock, at
which time the senior class will give
their farce for which they have been
practicing faithfully for the past three
weeks.
The farce is good, clean comedy
ald interesting from start to finish.
All of the senior class will take part
in the production and while there
are eight girls and only one boy in
the class, the masculine sex is well
represented by Stanley Brown, who
shows rare courage by appearing at
society functions at which he is the
only man present, and he displays
rare judgment when he chooses Patsy
rather than Miss Astor for life
partner.
Patsy, the western broncho, played
by Pat" Rose, is an extremely low
able character, like all western girls,
wholesome straightforward and unas-

Mrs. Madison, of New York 400"
played by Olive Guthrie.
Mrs. Makepeace, who has a mind
of her own. and who is broad minded
enough to see some good in everyone,
played by Phyllis Poulin, is a charac-
ter which requires real dramatic
skill to represent.
Mrs. Repeter, suffragette, who
has decided opinions on all questions
and who places the cause above
everything else, is well represented
by Alphonsine Liotard.
Virginia Castle, one of the younger
set, who does her best to make Patsy
feel at home among the elect, is a
fine young woman who is not spoiled
by her position in society or her
money, is played by Audrey Thacker
Miss Kuryus. an enterprising lady
reporter. who is constantly in search
of items of gossip about the 400, is
played by Irene Backus.
Celestine, the French maid, who
knows all about the family affairs
of the ELECT" and keeps Miss Kuryus
posted on all that is going on is
played by Alice Stauffer and is one OF
the best characters in the farce
The Countess Duval, a member OF
Partisan nobility, who does her best
to keep Louis from marrying Patsy
and finds America very interesting is
played by Doris Cooney.
Miss Astor. rich, talented and one
of 'The Elect" who wants to become
Countess Duval and has very hard
time hiding the fact and never loses
hope, no matter how black things
look, is played by Irminna Stevenson.

by Miss Webb. Between the first and
second acts members of the Girls
