OF COUNTY
LAID At FINAL REST

The death of Mrs. George d. Mad
dalena, which occurred last Monday
at the White Pine general hospital
where the deceased had been con-
fined for several months as private
patient, removes from this district
one more of those grand old pioneers
and by her passing away White Pine
county has suffered an irreparable
loss.
Mrs. Maddalena, whose maiden
Ross Common, on the banks of the
River Shannon, Ireland, seventy
seven years ago last Christmas. She
came to this country as a young
woman and after spending some time
in California she chose Nevada as the
state in which to labor for the good
OF all mankind and for the last fifty
years she resided In Cherry Greek
where she was admired and loved by
all. She was among those sturdy
pioneers who journeyed into Eureka
when the discovery of precious metal
brought those who develop the
wealth of the nation into that historic
camp.
Later coming to Cherry Creek she
there met and married John Howlett
and as the issue of that marriage she
is survived by one son. John w. How.
lett, who still resides at Cherry
Creek. where he has followed mining
practically all his life. Fol lowing the
death of her first husband she mar
ried George d Maddalena, who sur.
wives her.
Mrs. Maddalena has passed to her
greater reward but her memory will
ever live. She won her way into the
hearts of all with whom she came in
contact by her kindly disposition and
her ever ready assistance to the poor
and the needy. 1t is said of her that
the latchstring was always on the
outside and all were welcome to food
and shelter. She blazed the trails
and as others followed she cared for
them when occasion arose as a lovinf
mother would care for her child.
Death was due to cancer, from
which Mrs. Maddaena had suffered
untold agony for many years, but
with II all she was always bright anc
cheerful and carried her burden
within herself lest she might cause
an unpleasant moment for those
around and about her.
The remains of the grand old lady
whose memory will be cherished
until time shall be no more, were
removed to Cherry Creek for buria
last Thursday. They were accompa
MED hy her son and a large number
of friends anxious to follow the bod,
to its last resting place. Funera
services were conducted by Rev
James O'Grady, pastor of Sacred
Heart church

Light Fall of Snow
Welcome to Sheepmen

The signs of snow which were In
evidence during the last few days are
at least welcome to the sheepmen OF
the district, who have recently ex-
perienced much difficulty on account
OF inability to move their sheep
south because of lack of water.
1t Is said that many bands are be-
ing held north and large numbers of
sheep are now watering and feeding
between Ely and Cherry Creek. as
well as near Hercules gap.
II the sheep are necessarily held
for water for an unusual length OF
time the matter of feed around the
water becomes a hard problem to
solve Many of the sheepgrowers
have expressed a desire to see some
snow so that they could move their
bands to the southern grazing
grounds.

Grand Turkey Shoot
by Rod and Gun Club

A turkey shoot of the good old
kind which in years past was one OF
the greatest attractions in this dis

sidered being December 1S
A. ]. Proctor, president of the gun

tunity to display their skill with the
rife at the turkeys head at seventy
fivc yards and with the pistol at the
bullseye placed at distance OF
twenty-five yards.

trict. This year II Is conceded that
the turkeys brought into the market

CANYON ROAD WORK
TO START THIS week

s. c. Durkee. one of the engineers
of the Nevada state highway depart
mcnt, who is to be in active charge
of the road work between lake City
and Kc,st.n,e, as heretofore told In
the News, arrived in Ely last Tuesday
evening and has since been busy
looking over the ground and famil-
iarizing himself with the physical
conditions of the highway where the
work is to he done
Mr.. Durkee expects to start opera
tions during the coming week and at
tention will first be given to the con-
struction of the road west of Lane
City, between tunnels Nos. l and 2, a
distance of a mile and a quarter.
1t is estimated that about thirty
men will he employed and the regu-
lar rate OF wage obtaining in this dis
trict will be paid. This is at present
understood to be S4.75 per day for
miners and 81 per day for laborers.
All employed with the exception OF
a timekeeper and foreman, will be
local men and preference will be
given to men with families.
Mr.. Durkee has made an examina-
tion of the road recently built by the
Lincoln Construction Company. be-
ing about sixteen miles in length and
eUending from Keystone to Robinson
summit
The drainage system of this seq
tion of the road he finds to have been
damaged by waterspouts since II was
constructed and the drainage will Be
improved and made adequate to take
care of waterspouts in the future be-
fore the state highway engineer com
pletes his work here.
The road work here Is about ali
that will be done by the state high
way commission during the present
winter. and this work is due to the
foresight Of the county commission
ers in taking up the matter with the
state and federal authorities several
months ago.
The work as now outlined will
probably take about two months to
complete but 1t Is hoped that add
tional appropriations may be secured
for other road work in this county BE-
fore the present job 10 completed. The
engineer In charge says that he has
many more applications for positions
than he will have to nil, which shows
the need OF employment for men In
this section. and this fact Is being
given due consideration.

TWO views of Tends.

IN sons quarters the market for bonds
IL described as an "unthiniEing" market,
with bids for new securities reaching
cut for new high marks almost con-
stantly and with some classes Of invest
ment securities out OF line with others
Of any sort Of normal relative basis.
But in other quarters advances scored
are declared to be justified by the fun
damental Improvement in credit condi-
tons and tic casing OF money rates.
The flllip given 70 tho market yesterday
by tho reduction In the rediscount rate
for the Reserve Bank OF New York was
reflected In advancing quotations, and
it's effect Is declared 70 be far from at
an end. The proof OF the pudding. how
ever. Is IN the eating, and with dealers
stlll hungry for opportunities 10 offer
securities and with tho supply OF new
offerings apparently small as nm aggrc-
gate, opportunity for O setback in
prices is limited. Some extremely con-
eervative houses have turned buIlish and
are backing their judgment by high COM
petitiyc bids. Altogether the bond mar
lget presents much OF interest 10 the
analyst rs well as to the investor.
