SURVEYORS MISS
$4,000 VOL. is

TONOPAH, June 14.-Charles A..
Liddell, deputy United States mineral
surveyor and his assistant, H. D..
Shipman, have Just discovered that
they were the target for $1,000 volts
OF electricity on May 81. Both men
sustained burns on the soles of their
feet and .Shipman was unconscious
fifteen minutes after a shock in
which they though they had come In
contact with q 6eO0-yoIt line.
In calling at the power company's
office to settle his monthly household
account Liddell happened to explain
the cause of limping and few inquir-
les brought out the fact that the con.
tact stopped the entire system Of the
power company for five minutes and
special trouble shooters were sent out
to trace the cause of the disturbance
without succeeding In finding 1t.
Liddell and Shipman were survey
ing mile south of Tonopah. A steel
tape had been extended 500 yards be-
tween the two men who occupied po-
sitions on the crest of two hills with
the power line traVersing a gulch be-
low.
AS Liddell waved his hand shipman
tauted the tape which snapped tight
against the lower wires of the power
line. Liddell received the current
through his hands and an exit was
found thorugh steel tack in the toe
of the sole Of the left foot. shipman
suffered worse for his foot was burn
ed to the bone and hole burned thru
the sole of his heavy digging boot

CLINTON LARSON IS.

World Champion Athletes
Record Published Here
In Full. Exhibition
Next Sunday

Clinton Larson, concerning whose
athletic prowess considerable has
been said recently because of the
presence OF the athlete at the Nevada
School OF Industry near. this city,
stands alone In his class. This state
ment comes primarily from the asser-
ton that he is standing the ravages
OF Time better than any other ath-
lete who Is rated as a record breaker.
Very few athletes, It is said, are able
to Withstand competition more than
three or four years. H7 has now been
in competition for eight years and is
now rated by authorities as the great
est feet first high jumper In his
tory. Larson has already given one
exhibition in this city or rather at the
school a short distance east Of this
city and registered six feet two in
ches. He will again exhibit his Jump
ing abilities at the Rodeo PARK Sun.
day preceding a baseball game be-
tween the Nevada School of Industry
and the Elko team. No increase in
prices of admission will be charged
by reason Of Larson's appearance.
The game Sunday should be a good
one. Manning. regular box artist for
the Elko club, will pitch for the In
dustrial School, according to Manager
Hoyt, and Duchar will do the twirling
for the local boys. This ought to
make snaEoy game of it and will
give the Elko lads some much needed
practice with the stick against the
Manning curves.
Those having In mind attending the
game and exhibition Sunday will find
the following record rolled up by Lar
son to be OF value in comparing his
accomplishments Sunday with those
of previous dates. 1t is also valuable
in showing that Larson is an athlete
of real "class:"

GHAUTAUQUA MILF
COME AGAIN IN
JUNE 1922
Tonighrs Program the Last of
Splendid Week of Able
Lectures and Musicals

The Ellison-White ChaItausuA con-
tract calling for the retul . OF tho sys-,
tenn here in the month OF Tune. 1922,
will be signed without any dlrfIculty
and this most excellent sumnl.r diver
sion will again visit Elkn r"xS year.
This statement was mad this morn
ing by George ]. Fox, who Is attend
ing to the work of securing zignerS for
the contract. Twenty-nine people hNd
signed the contract up to half pass
ten o'clock this morning and there
were plenty ln sight as sigDers to
make up the fifty required to bring
the program here again.
Tonight Is the last night OF the
Chautauqua program this year. Lieur-
ances Little Symphony Orchestra will
play prelude and Capt Upton will
deliver his lecture upon the -Four
Square Builder" The statement that
the program would close on Friday
night was not correct. Tonight is the
last of the program for this year.
Rain which continued throughout
afternoon and evening yesterday kept
many people away from splendid
lecture by the well known writer.
Peter Clark McFarlane. Those who
attended endorsed the McFariane lee
ture as the best yet presented on the
local platform.
A capacity crowd greeted Nothing
But the Truth" Tuesday evening. This
three act comedy was worth the price
Of a season ticket and would have
brought nearly that had 1t played sim
gly at the local theatre. We haven't
! enjoyed anything quite 30 much in a
long time as we enjoyed Nothing But
the Truth"
In bidding the Chautauqua service
farewell this year 1t would indeed be
a noversight to neglect mention of the
local director. Mr.. NJ G. Reed. who
has had charge of she tent and its at
fractions here during the past week
Mr.. Reed has proved hirnself to be q
pleasant and very accommodating
gentleman who did everything pessi-
Bile to give the people the very best
of attention. Mr.. Reeds popularity
was always evident whenever he ap-
peared before the audiences at the
tent, storm of applause always
greeting him. Mr.. Reed deserved II
for he has cersdinly made warm
place for himself In the hearts of
Elko people. He was ably assisted
here by Miss Lucas. whose popularity
with the children cannot be overesti-
mated Mrs. Turner, who was here
during the early days of the program
also gained her place with the people
here. All in all the staff accompany.
ing the big tent this year is the nyest,
most courteous and accommodating
one Elko has ever had in It's midst.
The success Of the aer-ice this year
can be beat testified to by the state
ment that local signers of the contract
vii lbe required to pay only about
seyenty-flye cents each toward def
icit in the sale OF tickets, there being
only about ten short of the required
sale of fifteen hundred dollars. Tie
people who signed the Chautauqua
contract are very grateful to the geo
pie OF the county and city for the
splendid support given to the program
this year. And don't forget tonight
is the last night, and the program Is
well worth Drawing summer shower
to see ard hear.

Edition is Excellent But

Through this mornings mail the
Independent received a copy OF the
San Francisco Bulletin Of June 18th,
1921, containing special section on
Nevada. The section Is well gotten
up, contains much interesting mat
ter. and many comprehensive photo
graphs Of the states mining indus
tries but It plainly shows that Che Bull
letin's expense account was not well
enough "heeled" to permit OF a trip to
the real empires among Nevada
counties. -.... ...... ..s s
Eureka Hamilton mining projects
receives the opening page in a long
discussion of the promise of that
particular venture. Senator Pittman
and Governor Boyle figure proni.
nently on the third page and articles
dealing with the virtues and accom-.
plishments OF both are set forth at
length. Eulogies OF Reno and sur
rounding vicinities take up the next
page, a discussion OF the Comstock
the next, another discussion of the
Comstock follows that and still an
other follows that, SO in a nutshell
the edition consists of the Eureka.
Hamilton Mine, Senator Pittman, Gov
ernor Boyle. Reno and the Comstock.
II this is a Nevada edition the
writer is president of the Walla WaIla
Chamber of Commerce which "ain't."
Not line about Pershing, Humboldt,
Elko and White Pine counties, the
counties of the state that present
more agricultural wealth to the
square foot than the boost edition
could dig up in any of the localities
mentioned sn IT'S columns to the
square mile. Not a word about the
men OF the eastern part of this state
or of the southern, or of any other d.
rection in Nevada for that matter,
who are devoting their time. energies
and money to bringing this common
wealth into the foreground, not as a
vast stretc hof mines either override
Veloped or not developed at all, but
as q stretch OF great farming areas,
great herds OF cattle, sheep and
horses, and the industries upon which
conservative financiers viii loan mon
ey for development. Judging from the
Bulletins edition Nevada consists Of
the Comstock, Reno and the. Eureka
Hamilton mine, the Silver Act and the
Budget System and the casual per-
user cannot escape the conclusion
that there isn't helluva lot of room
in Nevada for anything or anybody
else.
Do not construe us as belittling the
value of the Bulletin edition, gentle
reader Neither do we discount the
value of the Pittman Silver Act, the
Budget System the Eureka-H Hamilton
Mine or the Comstock. More power
to all Of them. But representing
twenty per cent of the taxable values
OF the state of Nevada, and paying
one fifth Of the salaries not only of
the author of the Budget System but
OF oil his valued assistants at the
state capital, we figured the Bulletin
might have let us in for q small cor.
ner in tho weather section which II
didn't. Perhaps the Bulletin man
who prepared this particular edition
didn't know Just how we stood in
Elko county in relation to tho Com.
stock, the city Of Reno, the governor
and the rest OF the state. And then
