Mrs nd. Bergman Of Prospect re-
turned Wednesday from q three
months visit to Los Angeles. Cali
fornia.
Mrs. Nettie overton drove into Eu-
reka Monday from her ranch at In
dian Creek. Nye County. with q load
OF chickens and turkeys and readily
disposed OF them.
The rain that fell In this section
Monday night laid the dust and
cleared the atmosphere. but not
enough moisture fell to satisfy stock
men.
The Sentinels weather item last
week was In error in stating that the
Thermometer had dropped to 9 be-
low zero ON "wednesday and below
on Thursday. Both should have read
above"
County Treasurer r. Mechanics re-
quests the Sentinel to state that he
Is still receiving tax money. and to
invite all 20 call early and avoid the
rush that takes place Just before tax
es become delinquent.
The Eureka schools and most of
the district schools OF the county were
closed Thursday and Friday for the
Thanksgiving holiday vacation. The
teachers were thus enabled to visit
relatives and friends and spend the
time pleasantly.
The Sentinel will not endeavor 10
mention locally the many out-of-town
visitors to Eureka through the week
and to spend Thanksgiving. for the
reason that some would invariably be
omitted. as it is not possible to secure
the names of all.
Harry Hagar of Ruby Valley. Elko
County. was Thanksgiving visitor
in Eureka. In speaking Of the sick
ness prevalent in that section. he
stated that the disease was consid-
cred to be light form of smallpox.
although some of the cases were OF q
rather serious nature.
julius Minoletti OF Eureka. who
has been at work ON his mines at
Hamilton for a number of months,
was recently taken Ill with an attack
of plurisy. His brother. Charley
Minoletti. brought him home the first
OF the week and his condition Ii now
reported improved.
The continued long spell Of fne
weather while welcome to most peo-
pie is causing the sheepmen consid-
cradle anxiety. Usually at this sea-
SON of the year they are on their way
south to the white sage flats in Nye
County, but owing to the lack of snow
and moisture are afraid to start south
with their bands.
w. H. Russell's big tractor went
out to Fish Creek Valley and return
ed Wednesday evening with the COM
plete well drilling rig owned and op-
Grated by F. w. Ahlers. Arrange
ments have been completed for drill
ling several wells for d. States on the
tract of land he has taken up under
the Pittman Act in Diamond Valley.
and the rig will be moved ON to this
land and drilling commenced within
the next few days. The first well will
be put down on the east side Of the
valley. one and half miles north
west of the Coleman place and about
IL miles north of Eureka.
Charley Minoletti OF Hamilton was
a. visitor in Eureka several days this
week, and while here purchased
team of horses from Vincent Piccin-
mini, to be used In puttils in an al
falfa crop on a new piece OF land he
has recently taken up at Monte Girls
to, on the west side of White Pine
mountain and about IL miles from
Hamilton. Mr.. Minoletti recently op-
ened up water seepage ana drove
a tunnel into the mountain that de-
veloped nice flow of water, that is
now estimated to be suficient to ir-
rigate at least zoo acres OF land. This
water is located on high ground above
the black sage tract 1t is planned to
cultivate, and Charley now feels that
he has finally struck something with
a down hill pull. 80
