MAY PURCHASE THE
THOMPSON sMELTER

Information reaches Mason from
New York from an apparently reli-
abie source that the Engei Copper
Co., OF San Francisco, operating the
Engcl mine and large flotation mill in
Piumas county. Calif..1is negotiating
for the purchase OF the Thompson
smelter from the Mason Valley Mines
Co. or partnership i'll the plant.
The Engei Copper Co. produces a
large tonnage OF concentrate that
heretofore have been shipped to Utah
smclters. AS freight rates are based
on valuation of the product and con-
sentrates carry high per ton value, the
long haul cuts into profits. The
Thompson smelter is not suitable for
the treatment Of concentrates consist
ing of two blast furnaces. 1t will be
necessary to construct rcverbatory
furnace, plan the Mason Valley
Mines Co, has had in view for some
time. Application was made for
lower freight rate from eastern Cali
fornia points to Wabuska, the South
crn Pacific point one mile from the
smelter, but refused under govern
ment control. After the roads were
returned to private ownership ap-
plication was made to the Southern
Pacific andWestern Pacific for re-
duction of rate from eastern Calf
ornia, which was passed upon fav-
orably by the Southern Pacific but
refused by the Western Pacific. The
Engles mine is on the Western Pa
cifc. The Thompson smelter has ne
vcr been operated as custom smell
ter hut would be ii reverberatory
furnace were built. 1t would be a
great aid to producers OF low grade
ore IN western and southern Nevada
who cannot pay the high freight
rates to Salt Lake smelters.

BIG AMERICAN
RUBBER PLANTATION

The fascination which the strange
lands of the Far Feast have held for
the average American is taking on a
more tangible form, now that travel
and business are bringing Asia and the
United States into closer contact.
No article of commerce is doing
more to bring this country into close
touch with the mystic East than rub
Der. The rapid rise in supremacy i'll
the poduction of crude rubber OF the
islands of the Indian Ocean combined
with the fact that America consumes
nearly three-quarters of all the
rubber grown there, has given many
Americans an opportunity to peep be-
hind the scenes and become acquaint-
ed with the lands and peoples of that
distant quarter of the globe.
Although the whole equatorial belt
iii that section is dotted with rubber
plantations, representing capial in
vestment OF nearly half billion OF
dollars, the thoughts of Americans
naturally center on Sumatra where ONE
Of Americas greatest corporations has
established plantation so vast in area
and so highly developed that it stands
out as the greatest single plantation
in the world. This is the plantation
| Of the United States Ruhher Com
pany, comprising seventy square mile!
of growing trees, an enterprise mark
ed throughout by magnitude and al
efficiency worthy of the best American
traditions. -. -.
By producing its own rubber tn
company is in position to establish
a uniformity in its manufactured pro
duct. especially United. States tires
/ such as rubber manufacturers hav
long craved.

CLARENCE WISE
DENIED NEW TRIAL

Clarence Wise who was found
guilty of passing worthless check
by jury at the recent session of the
District Court, has been denied new
rial.
A new trial was asked for by At
torney r. l.. Waggoner, acting as
counsel for the accused, and after
listening to the arguments of Wag-
goner and District Attorney Guild,
Judge Hart denied the motion and
sentenced the defendant to pay fine
of $3.50 an $63 costs. or to serve
Jail sentence of one day for each two
dollars of the fine.
Wise later filed notice OF appeal,
and was released on 1913 bond.
A sensation was created in the court
room when Waggoner stated as one
of he reasons, for asking for a new
trial, that he had reason to believe
that Clark, one of the witnesses for
the defense had been intimidated. and
his testimony tampered with. Dis
trict Attorney Guild requested that
the charges be fully investigated. and
the Court instructed Mr.. Waggoner
to make known the reasons for his
belief.

little people played more games on
the West -Lamberson lawn. and sang
their birthday song and many others.
When the birthday cakes were
brought out, Linda's bore six candles
and Bobbic's five so the children all
knew how old their host and hostess
were. After pictures had been taken

GOVERNOR PR0ClA|ks
THREE HOLIDAYS

l, EMMETT D. BOYLE, Govern
or OF Nevada. under the authority
vested in me. do designate and pro-
claim June IA, 1920 as Flag Day.
On that day one hundred and forty
three years will have elapsed since
the Continental Congress prescribed
the design OF the national emblem.
/ urge that the day be observed by
the public display of the Flag and in
the schools by the appropriate exer.
ciscs and the singing of patriotic
songs.
Flag Day this year is given added
significance as part of the "Three
Days for Democracy" planned by the
National Conference on Community
Organization. to which plan to call
attention also.
a movement by representatives from
thirty-thrce States and more than
fifty national organizations has for its
object the development OF community
consciousness and activity by the OBJ
servance of NElCHBORS DAY, June
II, 1890; COMMUNITY SUNDAY
June Is, 1920; ana FLAG DAY, June
IA, 1920.
1t is recalled that during the war,
the people worked in their own COM
munities and found, perhaps for the
first time, how much practical and
satisfactory accomplishment could be
had in that way. They found some
thing of pure democracy in that full
contact with public government and
their fellow-citizens which made the
New England town meeting SO effec.
tive. From this experience arose the
suggestion that ncighborhood and
community meetings still have much
benefit-each in its own circle-and
that the country at large would profit
by the restoration and continuance oi
the custom.
! urge, therefore, that this plan bt
given consideration by the people and
that such detailed plans as will appear
in the public press be followed where
practicable.

For the east three days, the Kin

play and reflect much credit upon
their charming teacher, Miss Rita
