ERRORS LOSE BALL
GAME To LOVE[OCK

After having the first ball game of
the season practically won, the VIII
nemucca nine INDUCED in a few ar-
rors which resulted in Lovelock
finishing on the long end of score
of IL to 8. The local team started
off in business-like way that prom
ised them an easy victory but as the
game progressed they seemed to lose
pep and by fumbling a few balls at
the wrong time lost their chance .or
first place "Murtherin' Mike" the
slab artist, who opened for Lovelock,
all but crippled the entire local or
ganization in the first inning, but he
was relieved shortly afterward and
the game was at least made safe IN
that respect. The weather was any
thing but encouraging and the ma
jority of fans were compelled 10
leave before the finish in order to
keep from freezing. However, the
material on the Winnemucca team
is apparently of good quality and
with more practice will develop into
a strong nine. 1t is understood that
the Sparks team will play here on

INCREASE IN WAGE
GRANTED TEACHERS
NEW GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRUS-
TEES SECOND MEETING HELD
LAST NIGHT; SALARIES TO BE
RAISED ABOUT IL PER CENT

Three new trustees for Winnemuc-
cas- grammar school were named by
Deputy Superintendent Smith last
week, the old trustees taking the po-
sition that they had done their share
in thankless job and desired to re-
sign. The new trustees met Saturday
night and organized as follows: l.. g.
Campbell, president; A. d. Dern,
clerk, and Mrs. A. Guthrie, member.
Last night the board met again and
decided to re-elect all teachers now
employed, with general advance il
salaries of fifteen per cent. This will
make a teacher now earning $125 per
month about $1S.75 richer each
month during the coming school year.
This raise in pay for teachers IN
the grammar school comes after a
great deal of discussion by residents
of the city as to merits of the claim
that teachers should be better paid.
A great many have expressed them
selves as of opinion that no teacher
should be asked to work for less than
$3.50 per month. They base their con
clusion on the fact that teachers ar
only paid ten months in each yeat
and are compelled to attend schoo.

TELLS CONDITIONS
IN |LL|PAH FIELD
ILLIPAH BASIN OIL & GAS CON-
PANY WELL EQUIPPED AND
DRILLING STEADILY; OTHER
COMPANIES TO START WORK

With the Illipah Basin Oil & Gas
company drilling steadily with two
shifts and another shift soon to be
added, and with five other companies
soon to commence work, there can be
no doubt that the oil fields of Illipah
will be tested during the coming sea-
son. says the Ely Record.
From geological and surface indica-
tions there is not the slightest doubt
that White Pine county possesses one
of the most favorable fields in the in
termountain country, and neither is
there doubt that the Illipah Basin
Oil & Gas company is well equipped
and well financed to thoroughly ex-
plot it's holdings of $50 acres of we'll
selected ground in the very heart OF
the district. This company COM
menced active operations in January,
but owing to the almost impossible
roads, due to deep snow and mud, it
met with many difficulties and delays
which are incident to all such under
takings. But now that good weather
has come, followed by good roads, the
management has added another shift
to its drilling rig and in a short time
will add a third crew and drilling
operations will proceed much more
rapidly in the future than in the past.
On Wednesday representative of
the Record accompanied Ira Mac
Farland. of the state engineers office,
who now has charge of the drilling
operations: J. C.. Wheeler and George
E. Moore, who has charge of the for
est reserve in that section, to the Gil
fields. where several hours were spent
looking over the ground and examin-
ing things generally.
In explaining the geological condi-
tions which first caused the manage
ment of the present company to select
Illipah as a favorable field for opera
tions, Mr.. MacFarland made the fol-
lowing statement:
