HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
|. RECORD Step TWO
Slate IL Clean and Next Games
Will Be in This City With
Ancient Enemies From
Elko Opposing

Another step was recorded last
night in the march of Winnemucca' s
high school basketball quintets to
state championships when the boys
from here decisively trounced the
fast youngsters who represent the
Battle Mountain high school. The
game occurred on the opponents
court and was characterized by very
fast play. The termination of the
contest brought the score: 34-21.
Handicapped from the start of
the game by a court smaller than
the one upon which they practice,
the boys from here proved they
could adapt themselves to strange
playing conditions and still carry
on" in successful manner.
Fouls were frequent by both
teams throughout the first period
and the play was necessarily slow.
Taking the lead early in the con-
test the Winnemucca boys werc
never headed. The first half ended
with our boys leading: 1913.
The second half opened up with
a better display of inside teamwork
and individual starring was FREE
quent. The boys from here showed
clever passing and basket throwing
in this period, making the goals in
one, two, three order. Arant, VIM
nemucca's forward, was the star for
Winnemucca, making 20 Of the "a
points scored. Longero, forward,
was Battle Mountains outstanding
player, scoring 10 of the 81 points
made by his team.
The Winnemucca boys who made
the trip are: Case, center; Arant,
forward; Legarza, forward; Organ,
guard; Gartiez, guard; Holloway
and Harrington, subs. Prof. Scott
and Coach Leroy Murray accom-
panied the team.
Winnemucca rooters who accom-
panied were: Bertha Pearce, Doris
Brown, Don Rose, Walter Harms.
The entire Winnemucca delega-
ton was met at the depot by their
friends and contemporaries in Bat
tie Mountain and were accompanied
to the high school building, where
they were served with a splendid
dinner.
THE next games for the local
quintets will occur in this city on
December %, when the visitors will
be the boys and girls from the Elko
high school.

C|TY'S WATER IS
ALTOGETHER SAFE
Returns From Laboratory Tests Are
Considered Complimentary to
This City's Water Supply
Consumers Assured

Superintendent E. H. Gilman Of
the Winnemucca Water and Light
Company received returns this
morning from the state hygenic
laboratory at Reno from samples
taken from the city water supply
The analyses show the local supply
to be safe and fit in every respect
for all uses, no dilution showing OBJ
jectionable water content in single
respect.
To make such tests samples of
water are heated to 375 degrees
centigrade and the method of max
ing such determination is practically
uniform throughout the country.
There are no secrets attached to
this form of laboratory work, every
effort being made to protect the
consumers of water the country
over, general recognition being
given to the fact that much disease
particularly typhoid, originates
through water pollution.
During past years returns re-
ceived from these tests have been
uniformly satisfactory and local
medical history records no instance
where typhoid origin has beer
traced to the city water supply.
The report on the last samples
may be hard for the average laymar
to understand and after reading il
he may be compelled to accept this
newspapers word that his drinking
supply is okey. The report reads
as follows:
water, city supply, Winnemucca

in Alturas and Cedarville, Califor-
MIA, in which the fullest measure Of
cooperation is urged from the peo-
pie of this part Of the state in the
movement to secure funds and COM

that Winnemucca and all northern
Nevada may logically divide atten-

as its completion would bring great
good to a vast territory, much Of
which would apply to this particular
district.
Hon. J. Sheehan has also been
importuned for assistance for the
enterprise and his correspondence
in the matter has been placed in the
hands of the Chamber Of Commerce
authorities. The subject will form
one for discussion at the next meet

Arguments for the route include
many that will appeal very strongly.
Among these are the following:

OLD NEVADA LAKE
LONG SINCE LOST
Ancient Lake Lahontan Left Its
Marks on Territory About
Winnemucca Where Sand
Dunes Move Eastward

A recent United States Geological
Survey press bulletin is authority
for the following, under caption of
"A Big Lost Lake in Nevada"
During comparatively recent
geologic time a great lake flooded a
number of the valleys in north
western Nevada. This lake has now
almost completely disappeared, but
geologists have named it, in its en-
tirety, Lake Lahontan, in honor of
Baron La Hontan, one of the early
explorers of the headwaters of the
Mississippi. At the time of its
greatest expansion this ancient lake
covered 84O0 square miles. The
deepest part of Lake Lahontan,
which was $50 feet deep, was the
site of the present Pyramid Lake,
one of its remnants, SO that its sur
face stood about 500 feet above the
surface of Pyramid Lake. The an
cient lake had no outlet except the
one that led straight up, its waters
being dissipated entirely by evap-
oratien.
"A large area few miles north
of Winnemucca is covered with sand
dunes that we're formed since Lake
Lahontan disappeared. These dunes
are fully 75 feet thick, and their
sleeper slopes are on the east side,
indicating that the whole vast field
of sand is slowly travelling eastward.
The march of this sand is irresisti-
BILE, and its progress has necessi-
tated a number of changes in the
roads in the southern part of Little
Humboldt Valley during recent
years. In some places in this region
the telegraph poles have been
buried so deep that they have had
to be spliced in order to keep the
wires above the crests of the sand
dunes. The sand is of light
creamy-yellow color and forms
beautifully curved ridges and waves
that are covered with an artistic
fretwork of wind ripples."

Be Featured by Production

The following history of the plati-
mum finds near this city has been
prepared by L. E. Sewers of the
Silver State Chemical Company, in
this city. It was his privilege
to come in first contact with the
platinum results following tests
made from samples submitted to
him from the district now officially
known as Platinum. The territory
Of this district now embraces what
was formerly known as Ten Mile
and the discarded name carries the
approximate distance of the district
from this city. Mr.. Sewers letter
follows:
platinum Proven in Platinum
District, Ten Miles West of Winnie
mucca."
ION November 22 the Silver State
Chemical Company startled the min
ing men Of the state by the an
nouncement that platinum had been
found in samples Of ore submitted
for assays from the Ten Mile dis
trict. The news quickly spread over
the city and the state and many
doubling Thomases began sys-
tematic howl that the Silver State
Chemical Company was wrong, and
that 1t was beyond all reason to
think that platinum existed right at
the door Of Winnemucca and had
been there all these years and not
been found.
1.-THE facts are as follows: On
November 20 a party came to our
laboratory with a sample of ore and
asked that it be run that night for
gold and silver, as there was deal
on certain claims. Mr.. Eske, our
assistant chemist, ran the samples
for gold and silver and when he
came to part the button he could
not do it by the usual methods of
parting, and so weighed the button
as silver, which gave $252.o0 per
ton, but told the party that he
wanted to check this the next day
before giving a final result. The
next morning Mr.. Eske told me his
trouble and showed me the button.
/ then told Mr.. Eske to run the pulp
for platinum; this he did and re-
covered $3.50 OF. of platinum, 4.06
OF. of osmiridium and 49 OF. of sill
yer per ton. The next day other
samples were brought in and from
these samples two buttons were re-
covered, each weighing 11.80 OF. Of
platinum per ton and some silver.
A number Of other samples from
different parts of the ledge, 1000
feet from the original find, were
brought in and every sample showed
various values in platinum. | went
personally to the strike and took an
average sample of the entire ex-
posed ledge in the workings and re-
covered $51.00 per ton in platinum.

POLLING PLACES
To Be NAMED
County Election Board Will
Put Some in Private Build
ings--N eed Big Increase

In a tour of the county yesterday
the Middlesex County Board of Elec-
lions decided upon the locations Of
the new polling places which must
be installed in order to take care of
the increased voters caused by Wom-
an Suffrage. THE list of new polling
places VIII be ready for publication
some time this week." said Walter
j.. Kelley, secretary of the board,
today. None of the present polling
places were removed from the
school buildings, but it is likely that
some of the new districts will vote
in private places as the law pro-
vides that not more than three polls
can be located in a school building.
1t is understood that although in
some districts it will be impossible
for the polls to be located in the
school buildings, the Board of Elec-
lions will endeavor to locate the
polls in public buildings whenever
possible. In some wards, the redis-
tricting has resulted in the creation
of five polls where there were only
three or four in former years.
County Chairman John Pfeiffer,
of the Republican party, and Thorn
as H. Hagerty, of the Democratic
party. have filed with the county
board a list of the election officers
who have been recommended to
serve for the ensuing year. These
lists will be made public this week.
