The Elks are planning a dance and
an entertainment which will be held

didates for school trusteeship The
news state law which has just been

tions to October and the present in
cumbents to hold office until Janu-
ary /, 1922 1t will give them a

ers to the Sunday menu published

Union Pass section is only the
northern portions of the great Gold
road-Oatman gold bearing area and
is in geological formation a part of

formations are older nearer the
Colorado river, but that is because
Of the greater erosions there The
great good belt undoubtedly con-
tinues across the Colorado river into
Nevada near the Homestaka pro-
perty and the Lucky Prince claims.
