$3.50 FOR A ROOM AT SAN
FRANCISCO FOR CONVENTION

One of the Carson Democrats who
had planned on attending the San
Francisco convention was rather dis
pleased when notified that hotel rates
would be seven and one-half dollars
per room per day at San Francisco
and five dollars at Berkeley. In or
der to make a reservation it was
necessary TO pay for room from
Pune 25 to July 2, both inclusive He
was informed that the committee in
charge of the convention arrange
ments has taken over the matter of
providing hotel accommodations and
will make up part of the expenses
through the difference collected for
the rooms and the amount actually
paid to the hotel owners and
managers.-[News.

ELKO PEOPLE GOING
AFTER AN OIL WELL
THREE COMPANIES HAVE FILED
WITH LAND OFFICE, ALL OF
THEN BEING ELkv COMPANIES
WITH ABUNDANCE OF CAPITAL

Interest in the oil land lying just
north of Elko is shown by the filings
in the land office there, three COM
panies having applied for leases un-
der the Pittman act, aggregating
more than 5000 acres and taking in
most of the field which shows favor
able formations, says the Free Press.
The Elko Oil corporation with F.
S. Gedney as president, organized a
month ago, with sixty prominent men
as members, was the first to file.
An association consisting of C. NJ.
Glider, J. e. Snelson and DIR. Gala
CHER, has made application and an
other association consisting of Harry
B. Kuntz, Evan o. Won Rhein, Kate
L. Lukes and Harold Hale have APP
piled.
The Elko Oil Corporation is the
most active, President Gedney having
partly closed deal for contract for
drilling we'll and for having the
land examined by an expert, who will
arrive in Elko in a few days. 1t will
depend in a large measure on the re-
port of the expert whether the COM
pany will go ahead and close the con-
tract for putting down the well, but
from reports already made on the
field by experts who have examined
it, there is little doubt but their re-
ports will be favorable.
When DR.. David Day, the govern
ment oil expert, who has charge of
the government shale plant at Elko.
was there last week, he was taken
to the field by President Gedney and
shown over the country. He was
very favorably impressed by the
showings and urged that an expert be
secured at once. He told Mr.. Gedney
that he had been skeptical of indica-
tons for oil in the vicinity of Elko,
as the land he had been examining
was south of the river where the i'm
mense oil shale deposits were located
and as the formation in that district
had been broken up, he supposed that
the same condition existed every
where in this section, but was sur
prised to find the formation north OF
Elko was ideal for an immense oil
field. Every fossil and formation
found in the proven oil fields else
where is to be found on the conf
pany's ground north of town, and
while DR.. Day did not express an
opinion, he conveyed the impression
that the indication justified full ex-
ploration.

PERHAPS SHE WAS PEEvED AT
WONDERFUL LINCOLN HIGHWAY

California may boost itself as be-
ing the land of sunshine and of flow
ers. but it cannot vaunt all its native
daughters as being gentle ladies with
angelic disposition. For instance, a
feminine tourist who hailed from the
sister commonwealth came to Ely,
says the Times, and while there she
revealed two disturbing bits of in
formation to listening sons of the
sagebrush state And she was rather
malicious in her methods, too.
One was a discovery, which she
says she has columbused regarding
Nevadans, namely: That everyone in
this fair state (no exception noted
is a savage. The other was that the
roads are simply two bitches down
which one must drive-1when blow
outs permit driving The staunch
sagebrusher who was the recipient
of her vituperations seemed to be
quite satisfied with the accusations
provided Nevada's savages and bad
roads combined can keep her ilk from
invading this peaceful state.

visitor today, accompanied by George
Swager of Sulphur, where Mr. Beder-
man has been for several days look
ing over oil prospects. Mr.. Bederman

company will commence drilling op-
erations in Nevada in "the very near
future" not only at Sulphur but in
other parts of the state.
Il am not anxious to talk much for
publication now" said Mr.. Bederman.
Il will say. though. that | believe
there are great possibilities for pro-
duction of oil in Nevada"
He left today to look over the Fal-
Ion field.

COURT HOUSE WORK
AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
ARCHITECT SAYS COUNTY OF
FICERS WILL BE OCCUPYING
BEAUTIFUL NEW BUILDING NOT
LATER THAN OCTOBER FIRST

County officers will be occupying
the new court house October l." said
Architect l.. A. Ferris this morning,
"and that's leaving a good long mar
gin for any little delays that may
occur"
All of which will be good news not
only to the county officers, but to the
many people who are anxious to see
Humboldt countys new and magnifi-
cent $150,000 court house complete,
so they will not have to walk the
three sandy or muddy blocks 20 the
school building which is now serving
as a court house.
With most of the rough work done
on the building it is possible to tell
more about what ii is going TO look
like completed. Mr.. Ferris graciously
explained to Silver State reporter
that the old concrete work in front
of the court house would be torn out
for distance of approximately fifty
feet and steps clear across the enor-
mour doorway would extend to the
sidewalk.
Entering the building, rough,
curying concrete stairway is seen in
what may be the center of the build
ing. These stairs and all Railways
are to be finished in marble and fancy
plaster work.
Details for the courtroom are in
teresting and apparently this room
will be most handsome. On the first
and second floors there are concrete
fire-proof record rooms, and there is
also a large fireproof room in the
basement.
All of the rough" work will be
finished during the next two weeks
Then the plasterers and marble men
will start their work. Metal lath Is
already being put in place. The rooi
is on and the roofing paper can be
laid any time. Then will come the
painting and finishing, and the build
ing will be ready for installation OF
furniture.
There is one large room in the rear
of the first fioor which is yet unas-
signed. 1t may be that the county
commissioners will make arrange
ments with the city council to use the
room as council chamber.
AS soon as the scaffolding is taken
down outside the building the terra
Gotta joints will be filled with white
cement and this and the brick WORK
gone over with a weak solution OF
muriatic acid, which will leave, Fer
ris said, a beautiful finish.

Workmen were today preparing to
lay the cornerstone of Winnemucca's
new postofIice building. Wording on
this stone is as follows:
WILLIAM G. McADOO
Secretary of the Treasury
James A. Wetmore
Acting Supervising Architect
There is nothing else chiseled into
the stone, no date, no mention of
Burleson, or anything else one might
expect.
All of the concrete basement work
for the building is complete andpour-
ing of the big slab of concrete for
the first floor will commence early
next week. Some other detail work
is yet to be done, while the concrete
is drying, and the contractor thought
this morning the brick work should
be commenced in about two weeks.
Thereafter the work should go fast.

GOLD CIRCLE MINE
AND MILL BOUGHT
OF ESMERALDA NINE
MEANS MUCH TO CAMP, AS IT
WILL BE ONE MORE PRODUCER
AND LEAD TO OTHER SALES
Especial Correspondencel

MIDAS Gold Circle District) June
25.-Wcrd has been received by Jerry
Coughlan from William J. Cleary and
DR.. Mckinney, of Fresno, that the de-
tails of the transfer to them of the
Esmeralda mine and mill have been
agreed upon, the deal practically
closed, and within a day or two Mr.
Cleary is expected to return to Gold
Circle to start active operations on
the property. This followed a con-
ference at Oakland, Cal. with George
D. Knauss, secretary of the Esmer-
aida company, who went there for
that purpose.
This is good news for the camp.
not only because it means that an
other property will be shipping sill
ver-gold bullion, but ii also probably
means that several other properties
will be taken over by Mr.. Cleary and
his friends. 1t is known that he has
made at least one other definite Of
prospects to choose from
The Esmeralda has already pro-
duced in the neighborhood of 1925,
600, practically all of which came
from above the Boyle tunnel level,
which runs almost the entire length
of the claim. The shaft, which was
started at an elevation of eighty feet
above the Boyle tunnel level. is down
about 290 feet, but little work was
done on the vein from the shaft work
ings. Some drifting was started on q
level 100 feet below the Boyle tunnel
level, but as this was in the territory
where the vein goes through the flat
lying flow that seems TO cut off the
Queen, it was soon discontinued. 1t
will take but few feet of erosscut-
to reach the vein, and that ii will
be found stronger and richer there.
as was the case in the Queen, is in
dioated by the fact that before the
flow of water stopped the work, the
country rock panned as high as six
dollars per ton. There is said to be
$4,000 worth of ore in sight in the
mine, and the assays, made after
careful sampling. show excellent
values in several places. The ten
stamp mill on the property makes a
fair saving with straight amalgama-
ton, the values so far being nearly
all gold.
The shaft at the Queen last week
reached the eighty y-five-foot point be-
low the 230-foot level, and after cut
ting a small station from which to
crosscut to the vein. the shaft was
continued a few feet more for sump.
As has been stated before, it is the
intention of the Queen management
to erect mill if the ore on the 315-
foot level is found as big and as rich
as it is confidently expected, it be-
ing judged by what was found on the

DEMOCRATS HEADING
FOR BIG bUST-UP
CARSON APPEAL GONE ON RAM
PAGE AGAIN AND MAY TELL
REAL, INSIDE IMPORTATION
ON .THE GANG BEFORE LONG

After batting his arch-enemy, John
2. Kuntz, Nevada's Democrat state
central committee chairman, with a
request for a ticket of admission to
the San Francisco convention, which
he didn't want or need, T. d. Van
Devort, editor of the Carson City
Daily Appeal, leading Democrat daily
of this state, proceeded to tell the
people some things in yesterdays
issue of the Appeal. OF course, Van
didn't expect to get the ticket and
used the opportunity presented for
all it was worth, but at that it seems
Kunz and his gang of politicians de-
serve all Van gives them, and then
some.
To show how he feels about it, Edi-
tor Van Devort heads his story of
complaint thus: Bend the Preg-
nant Knee if You Want Favors From
State Chairman"
Here's the tail-end OF what Van had
to say:
"Kunz's reply indicates in what
manner the state committee has been
running things. If you are not with
him and his coterie in all of their
selfish, self-aggrandizing schemes and
manipulations, you are a knocker and
objector and entitled to none of the
txel,. ha do of tcs,
comes round. 1t matters not how
you have served the party; it is what
you have done for Kunz ct al 1t is
they who must be served, otherwise
you can consider yourself out of the
running. In other words, they are the
party
"kunz has now been at the head of
the Democratic state central COM
mittee for a period of nearly two
years and surrounding himself by a
clique of petty politicians he has
proved his thorough incompetence
and incapacity. In the recent conven-
tion in Reno, when delegates were
methods contrary to the wishes of
the big majority of the Democrats of
the state, he showed an absolute dis
regard of all the decencies and rode
rough shod over every one who was
not attuned with the KunZ machine;
in what he did he all but wedged the
party clear to the center and his
work would have been complete did
not those who he essayed to dis
cipline' put loyalty and fealty to the
party above all other considerations
But in doing what he did at that
time; what he did on the occasion of
President Wilson's visit to this state;
by his opposition to the president and
his administration his repeated in
suits to both the real leaders and the
laity of the party, and his lack of
even ordinary judgment, he has
proved his utter unworthiness as head
of the state committee and he should
be deposed at the earliest opportunity
otherwise, as far as organization is
concerned, the party will run wild
in the coming campaign and invite
defeat For no one with bit of self
respect will take orders or advice
from John Kunz and his gang
