To Award Com
tract In July
Highway Department to Ask for Bids
for Construction of Sections of
Road South from Saratoga.

Within the next thirty days the State
Highway Commission will receive bids
for construction work on the Rocky
Mountain Highway between Saratoga
and Encampment. according to =. Fitz-
gerald, who returned home yesterday
from Opal, Wyo., where he has been SUI
peIvising the work of his grading outfit
from that point to Big Piney.
Mr.. Fitzgerald states this informa-
tion was given him from the office of
the state highway engineer, and he eX-
poets to file n bid for a portion Mt least
of this work. His present contract
will be completed within the next three
or four weeks, and if he is successful in
landing a portion of the work in this
valley, his machinery and equipment
will be brought here Immediately.
There has been much speculation as
to whether or not the Platte Valley
highway was to nave n construction
work this summer. and this will be
gratifying news to many people.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was unable to say
h work if n will be done ON the
highway north from Saratoga, as that
portion is to be built altogether by the
state. no federal aid having been asked
for and no contracts are to be let on
that portion.
He will spend a few days here with
his family, II expects to return to
Opal not later han next Monday, and
will remain there until his grading con
tract has been completed.

A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE
L. p. Train Officials Unload a Young
Lady on Prairie at Midnight and
Leave Her to Find Refuge.

Another example of the poor service
received by people of this region at the
hands of U. p. train officials and of
the notorious lack of courtesy and at
tention on the part of main line train
men. occurred last Thursday evening.
when Miss Regina Jensen, daughter of
Mrs. Gustave Jensen of Saratoga, re-
turning On train No. 10 from Laramie.
where h had been attending school.
was unlOaded on the prairie nearly a
mile west of Walcott, at which station
she wished to leave the train. The
trainman who helped the young lady
from the train when it finally came TO
Il stop. told her it would be necessary
for her To walk to the station. but
gave her no instructions as TO which
way to go nor how far it might be to
Il station. and the train steamed on
west, leaving her to shift for herself.
Miss Jensen Il occupied a seat in
the observation car from Laramie and
when told that the train had che
ner station, she naturally supposed
that the engine had stopped near the
depot, hence she started walking in
the same direction the train had taken
Carrying n heavy suitcase. her coat and
other articles, h walked on west in
the darkness, hoping to discover the
lights of h town, but finally. after
following the railroad track for n
mile or more, over dangerous ridges
and other places where n mis-step i'm
the darkness would have meant death
or serious injury, and discovering no
signs of civilization, she decided tbot
she was totally lost, as we'll ms almost
exhausted from carrying her Iupgo 90
over such a distance.
With rare presence of mind. Miss
Jensen then decided TO flag an oncom-
ing train, and waved her coat ms a
signal, but the train Numbered mast
without stopping, as did also a second
one. a third train, a freight travelling
west, stopped at her signal, however.
and she was taken aboard at a point
some two or three miles west of WAL
''p tRu nav lluS. where
she spent the night, and returned to
Walcott on a local passenger train the
next morning.
1t is said by railroad men that train
men have positive instructions in such
cases that they must either back up to
the station with passengers or else
carry them to the next station without
charge. Even the latter course would
have been much preferred by Miss Jen-
sen to being set down in a bleak and
lonely part of the country at midnight
without knowledge of her Whereabouts,
and would have saved her a very
frightful and narrowing experience.
1t would be altogether fitting for
the Union Pacific company t. see that
the conductor of this train is suitably
rewarded for his outrageous conduct,
and such n fragrant breach of all the
rules of courtesy and public service.

WOMEN ARE
HALF THE PEOPLE
Just And Necessary That They
Should Have A Place In
the u. s. Senate

Women of Nevada. will you use
your vote to elect a woman to the U.
5. Senate?
It is just that women should help
govern our country. Women are half
the people. Their unpaid labor in
their homes earns half their family's
support. Women create half the
wealth, yet only men govern US and
make the conditions under which we
live and work. More than $4,000
men have been elected to Congress
since our nation was founded and
only one woman. Is it not time to
elect women?
Women are needed. Men legisla-
tors have protected property rights.
Women legislators will protect hu-
man rights. Our Congress of men
gives little consideration to the needs
of women and children. For example,
Congress appropriated $47,000,00O
last year to guard hogs, cattle and
crops from disease but refused $4.-
100000 to save $4,000 mothers and
25O,000 babies who die every year
in this country from preventable
causes. Women who will fight for
mothers and children are needed in
Washington.
Some of you are Republicans;
some are Democrats, but you are wo-
men first. Win you use your politi-
cal power for women and children
rather than for the success of any
party? Will you register before Oc-
tober IL, when registration closes,
and do your part in the fight for wo-
men in government by voting for me
for the U. S. Senate?

COMPLEX NEVADA ORES
U. s. Bureau of Mines Experimenting
With Ruby Hill Ores

In view of statements to the effect
that research on the complex and oxi-
died ores of Nevada is being neglect
ed, the U. s. Bureau of Mines calls at
tention to the work which is now in
progress on these ores. Experiments
are being conducted on two kinds of
ores which are oeing obtained from
Good Springs and Eureka, Nevada.
respectively. The work on the Good
Springs ore has been In progress for a
year. Several months will elapse be-
fore a final report can be made on
that work. 1t can be said, however,
that the work Is being conducted un-
der a cooperative agreement with the
Yellow Pine Mining Company. The
ores contain approximately per
cent lead. OF. OF silver and 3S per
cent zinc. The lead and silver con-
tent of the 1900 to 1900 tons that is
shipped monthly Is being lost. The
object of the experiments has been to
volatilize the lead and silver from the
zinc and to raise the grade of zinc.
Thus far in the experiments 1t has
been possible to recover in excess of
80 per cent OF the silver and lead
with a small zinc loss.
The work has been in progress
almost continually since February.
Tests are being conducted in a fifty
foot kiln. The experiments have
been sufficiently encouraging to the
company so that it is anxious to put
in a commercial plant to carry on the
method of treatment.
Work on the ores containing gold,
silver, lead and copper, mostly of the
oxidized variety, has been in progress
for six months. The work has been
in cooperation with the Ruby Hill
Development Company. High ex-
fractions have been obtained from the
methods employed in these expert
ments. Some of the work has been
done on a large scale. One of the
more recent tests was run on a 5000
lb. lot. The result obtained from
such tests are more to be relied upon.

Ely, Nevada, Oct. 5, 1920.
Editor Sentinel:
l deeply regret speaking in behalf
OF the Ely Baseball Club, and the SEN
timent your readers have of our club
and the people of Ely.
1t must be recalled that after a
series OF kilograms the manager.
Father, allowed us SIS transporta-
tion to Eureka, which necessitated us
making the trip In one day, arriving
in time for short warm-up before
the game was called.
After returning to Ely the bows
mentioned the nice dinner they we're
served, and the courteous treatment
extended by all. In fact, they so en-
joyed the trip that a couple of our
boys failed to return with the crowd
nor did we forget to give you a
write up in the Daily Times and Ely
Record of this city.
reminded my boys before leaving
that they request you to furnish an
umpire with Mr.. Doughty, and insist
on changing every inning. Now IL
Mr.. Doughty was allowed to umpire
balls and strikes Is feet back of the
home plate. the captain should have
been notified of 1t at the time, as we
all agree that IL is not practical.
In all our games with the exception
of one, we have the name OF being
game losers as well as winners.
AS for the dance, which l did not
attend myself, / regret that you boys
did not enjoy yourselves, as l secured
IL tickets from the American Legion
that gave the dance, thinking that
you all would enjoy it. We were un-
able to give a dance for the boys as
we did Phoebe, the hall having been
rented to the American Legion. In
our own dance we used no programs,
giving all visitors an even chance
with the home boys.
In entertaining you in Ely we Sc
cured rooms at our most popular
commercial hotel, and arranged for
your meals at our best restaurant.
You came in two players short. and
we filled In with two of the fastest
players in the district-Mr. Keogh
and Mr.. McIntosh-knowing we were
giving you a big advantage over US.
Now we hope and trust that thi.
feeling will soon die, and when we
meet again congeniality will rule.
Very respectfully.

NEVADA CLAIM OWNERS

The lesser known minerals that the
prospector passes over every day In
the year In his search for gold. silver,
and copper will receive more atten-
don, according to plans now being
put into effect by the Reno Chamber
of Commerce. That body has estab-
lished a mining information bureau
operating on a Statewide scale which
will gather mining information and
disseminate 1t.
The bureau will confine It's activi-
ties for the present to gathering in
formation for the benefit OF the pros
pector and the investor In rare met
ais and economic minerals- Claim
owners are invited to send In descrfp-
tions OF their properties together
with samples, and other data. These
will be fled and classified SO as to be
readily accessible. Inquiries from
manufacturers and investors are like
wise filed. Thereafter whenever pos
sible, buyer and seller will be brought
together. There will be no charge
for this service.
Many inquiries for Nevada miner
ais have been received lately which
fact has hastened the establishment
Of such a bureau. The lesser known
minerals are in the greatest demand
and it is these minerals that the
Chamber of Commerce hopes to de-
velop. Diatomacoous earth, or Kies-
elghur. gypsum, barite. manganese.
chrome, tale, salt, alunite, bis
muth, borax, commercial clayBs fiuo-
spar, glaubers salt, graphite. kalinite.
lime, magnesite, molybdenite. potash.
strontium, sulphur. and semi-precious
gems come under this classification
and are being sought by buyers for
manufacturers. All are known to
exist in Nevada in large quantities,
but have received little attention from
the prospector who did not know
how to market them.
The Chamber of Commerce. now
has on display splendid exhibit of
minerals. Visitors are invited to in
spect them and learn their character
istics. This exhibit was prepared by
Director Lincoln of the Mackay
School of Mines and contains many
