DIRECTORS MEET /
NO AWARDS MADE

Contractors and engineers from sew
eral states attended the meeting OF the
Board OF Directors OF the Walker
Irrigation District Monday when bids
for the construction of the first unit
OF the big project were opened. No
bids were received for the purchase Of
bonds, but several contractors i'll their
bids agreed to take payment in bonds
at 90 per cent of their value. The pres
ent law, however, does not permit
the directors to award contracts until
the money is in the treasury. The law
also says that bonds shall not be sold
at less than go, and as the present
value of Walker River Irrigation
bonds is placed by financial men at
approximately Sc cents, further pro-
gress must be delayed until the bond
market strengthens. unless measures
amendatory to the state irrigation dis
trict law, which are designed to make
the bonds more attractive to investors.
and which arc now pending in the
Nevada Legislature. are passed.
Consideration of the bids for CON
struction work was postponed by the
board until Monday, March 18th, as
it is hoped that the Legislature will
by that time have acted OIL the amend
ments to the irrigation act. Nine bids
were received as follows:
M. P. Armstrong, $205,0OO; w. a.
Betchel, ninety cents on the bonds and
$274075; Nevada Construction Com
pany, $l67,250; Pacific States Con-
struction Company, $225,875; Red,

BIGGER LEDCES AND
INCREASED VALUES

Late development i'll the main Bro
Ken Hills shaft and i'll the drift along
the Fidelity vein on the 15O-foot leve'
OF the shaft. have demonstrated that
the orebodies are widening and show
ing tendency to increase their values.
The official report made by the mine
management a few days ago to the di-
rectors OF the Broken Hills Silver
Corporation that four feet OF ore
III the face of the Fidelity drift as
sayed $3.50 ton proves to be an
understatement, as high values pene-
penetrate both walls OF the drift. The
mine management states that this con-
lition indicates the Fidelity vein is
at least six feet wide and that the
values in the walls arc on par with
those i'll the four-foot face OF the
drift itself.
The main Broken Hills shaft has
been sunk to a depth of BIS feet III
tho massive main Broken Hills vein
Z
which lies p feet east of and parallel
with the Fidelity vein, and at that
depth the ore penetrates both walls OF
the shaft, indicating vein width OF
nine feet or more Silver-lead values
range as high as 5000 ton.
The main Broken Hills shaft will
reach depth OF $50 feet within ten
days. At that level crosscut will at
once be driven west to intcrscct the
Fidelity vein. Within week from the
date when prosecuting begins the OBJ
objective should be reached at the vein
does not lie more than IS feet from
the shaft OF the 350-foot level.
When this development work is a
fact accomplished the Fidelity and
Broken Hills veins will have been
opened at depth of $50 feet. within
week OF each other, under minera-
logical conditions strongly favorable
to their persistency to the greatest
depth it will be possible to prosecute
mine work. This work is expected to
prove the property and demonstrate
that one of the big mines OF Nevada
mas actually been brought III.

Good bye. good bye Old Timer!
We've been long time together
Through pleasant and through
stormy weather;
'Tis hard to part when friends are

Perhaps twill cost a sigh, tear;
You have gone away, giving little
warning.
You have gone little ahead O. time;
Well not say now Good night,
But in some brighter cline,
