ARROWHEAD EXTENSION
SHOWS HIGH VALUES

NJ. j. McVeigh, superintendent of
the Arrowhead Extension Mining Co..
has been in Ely during the week and
is an enthusiastic booster of the Ar
rowhead mining district. Mr. Nc
Weigh was the original locator of the
Arrowhead Extension and refused
two substantial offers for control OF
this property, one offer being for
s25, 1000. McMeVeigh states that
development work thus far proseeu-
ted on the ground proves conclusive
ly to his mind that there is an i'm
mense body of ore in this ground.
lie has associated With him men of
high. standing and substantial worth.
including j. b. Kendall, president;
Arthur G.. Raycraft. treasurer; c. l..
Osterlund. director, and II. ID. BudeL
man director Mr.. McVeigh is vice
president of the company.
The Arrowhead Extension company
is well financed. and owns approx
mately one hundred acres adjoining
the Arrowhead mine on the south
and east and they are the true exten-
sion of the big property. as DR.. A. ii
Elftman. noted geologist. states that
the main vein of the Arrowhead mine
runs southeast, and he has recon-
mended that new shaft be put down
between the old shaft and the Exten-
sion ground.
The main shaft oil the Extension Is
down about eighty-one feet. 1t is
about fifty to seyenty-fiye feet from
the main Arrowhead vein. and prob
ably crosseutting will start when the
shaft reaches the huudred-foot level
Values obtained from the surface
run as high as s71. with the lowest
being $50.
Almost momentarily il is expected
that the Extension will break into
the sulphide zone. which was reached
in the main Arrowhead mine at q
depth of seventy-one feet.

BEWARE OF PARIS GREEN ON
CELERY FROM THE COAST

Watch for the presence OF paris
green on celery shipped into this
state from California, is the warn
ing that has been issued by the food
and drug control department of the
state. Several lots that have been
heavily sprayed with the poison have
been found by the department in
Reno stores, all of which has been
confiscated and destroyed. The use
of poisonous sprays to destroy insect
life in vegetables and small fruits,
by the growers is common, accord
ing to s. c. Dinsmore, head of the
department. but usually the solutions
are SO weak as to rarely be harmful
and as the practice of all housewives
and cooks is to wash such foods thor
oughly before eating, it is extremely
rare that poisoning results.

That White Pine county is not to
be deprived of its share of the graz
iag license money due from outside

to be due on approximately $4,000
head of sheep which find White Pine

ship their sheep by train to Mon
tello, where fleecy animals roll like
diamonds out of the cars and land di-
reetly into the lap of Sheriff Joe
Harris of Elko county. Some collec-
tion is made there and then the sheep
are trai.ed through Elko county di-
reetly into White Pine, where they
spend their winter and later return
TO their summer home IN Idaho, leay-
ing White Pine county with their best
wishes and a strong recommendation
as first class grazing ground with
very reasonable rates.
Sheriff Enslow has been strictly on

complished excellent results. After
an unsuccessful attempt to collect or
che gigantic bands owned by the Ser
vel company. however. he carried his
troubles to the district attorney, whc
lost no time in taking legal action
with the result that Under Sheriff
Bailey was rushed ont to what il
commonly known as Thirty Mile,

nately e0oo head of sheep, which

DISTRICT JUDGE McFADDEN OF
FICIALLY FROWNS ON TRIVIAL
REASON SHOWN TO DISSOLVE
BONDS OF MATRIMOyY.

That IL is not so easy to obtain
divorce. in White Pine county, at
least, as one might be led to believe
by reading articles published in news
papers throughout the country, and
coming from writer's who are not
thoroughly familiar with the situa-
tion, and who certainly do not show
a proper regard for the high standard
of our district judges.
This fact was clearly demonstrated
during the past week when District
Judge G. j. McFadden in the ninth
judicial district court denied the ap-
plication of Margaret Nelson for a
divorce from her husband. William
Nelson.
The divorce was sought on the
ground of extreme cruelty and at the
trial of the case 1t developed that
there were two sides to the story. The
| defendant in denying the charges,
| made by his wife, called as witnesses
ehe ohothCi anu Siotci-ia-idW VI Tue
| plaintiff, and after hearing all the
testimony. together with the argu-
ments of counsel, Judge McFadden
made it plain that to maintain such
an action in his court at least a
proper showing would have to be
made as to entitle the parties to the
relief applied for under the law,
and mere agreements to disagree
would not meet with his judicial ap
proval.
The plaintiff was represented by
Counsellor c. A. Eddy, while Counsel
lor Chas. A. Walker looked after the
interests of the defendant

HARD COLDS AND FLU
Walk SIDE BYI'EACH

Only four cases of "flu" were re-
ported to County Health Officer DR..
W. W Cook yesterday. and while the
very presence OF the disease is alarm
ing when one considers the des;ruo-
tion 1t left in its path in 1918, yet
the Ely district seems to be most for
tunatc. So far only one death has
been reported. AMI the county death
rate for this winter is far below what
II mas heen for the same period in
previous years.
After a careful Investigation It
seems to be the prevailing opinion
that the situation IS being we'll han
died and it IS now hoped that II will
not be necessary to resort 10 the
closing OF public places. The closing
of such places would result In great
Inconvenience to many. and as 1t now
appears such action would be unwar-
ranted and. in fact. do more harm
than good
The local chapter of THE Red Cross
has been doing excellent work. bu.
naturally there is shortage of
nurses. The cases last generally only
two or three days. as the disease has
appeared in only a very mild form
Proper care of the patients does not
require all the skill of a trained
nurse and the Red Cross asks all
who can possibly do so to volunteer
their services. This nay be done
by communicating with Mrs. NJ. S.
Rogers. secretary of the local chapter
rhe citizens of the district can
always be depended upon 10 come to
the front when such work is to be
done and il is 10 be hoped that this
occasion will prove no exception to
the rule.

WYOMING CONSIDERING
RECLAMATION SCHEME

SALT LAKE.--There are nearly
100000 acres of land in western
Wyoming susceptible Of irrigation
by the waters of the Green river, and
improvement of this land is being
considered by the state of Wyoming,
according to Ralph G.. Woolley, en-
gineer Of the water resources branch
of the United States geological sur
vey, who returned to Salt Lake re-
Gently from a reconnaissance survey
of Green river watershed. Mr..
Woolley traversed large part Of
the river in western Wyoming for
the primary purpose Of ascertaining
it's water power possibilities and the
secondary purpose of outlining the
irrigation possibilities.
Eventually the Green river region
of Wyoming will become the seat of
one of the great reclamation pro-
jects of the west, according to Mr..
Woolley. 1t is the purpose of Wyom-
ing to utilize the waters of the Green
river as much as possible before per-
hitting them to flow south into Utah
