METEOR OBSERVED
SUNDAY EVENING
Thought to Have Struck in
Diamond Valley by East
Side Residents

j. p. Jacobsen and Fred Crofut,
residents Of the east side of Diamond
Valley. we're visitors In Eureka last
Monday and reported an unusual dis
turbance in the valley shortly after
O'Clock Sunday evening. A shock
that rocked their homes and ratified
doors and windows was preceded by
terrific roaring sound that lasted
for several seconds after they rushed
outdoors. AS no one was outside and
saw the meteor they were under the
impression that the disturbance was
caused by heavy earthquake shock,
and were inquiring here IL Eurekans
had felt 1t.
This was no doubt the same meteor
observed in the western portions Of
Nevada, and as these bodies flying
through space are acknowledged to
be most deceptive regarding location
and distances, the fact that our east
side Diamond Valley residents very
distinctly felt the jar, will probably
cause search for the resting place
OF this heavenly body.
The following reports make men
ton of this meteor as seen in western
parts Of the State:
Persons coming from Lake Tahoe
about seven O'Clock Sunday evening
saw what they describe as a meteor.
which they believe struck the earth a
short distance north of Yerington, or
In that direction.-Carson News.
A big meteor, said by those who
saw 1t fall to be the largest that ever
fell near Reno. dropped out of the
sky about o'clock last night and ap-
parently fell somewhere near the east
end of Liberty street. 1t was travel
ing south when it came into view here
and was very brilliant. leaving a
trail of sulphur behind it.-Reno Ga
zette.
County Clerk Davey reports that
he saw a very large meteor falling
about the time the one fell near Reno.
He said it was a very large one and
before dropping from sight the sky in
the southwest was brilliantly lighted
by the heavenly visitor.-Winnemuc-
ca Star.

LABOR COMMISSIONER
ASKS COOPERATION

While the unemployed situation is
not so acute In Nevada as in other
States, Frank w. Ingram, Commis-
sioner of Labor, is sending out 5000
questionnaires to known and sup
posed employers Of labor, with a view
Of getting this data which will clearly
show the present condition, as well
as the tendencies to be considered.
The practice has been an annual
one for some years. but this year it is
especially important, and Mr.. Ingram
requests that those receiving the
questions make a special effort to as
sist in the work by promptly answer
ing the inquiries presented on the
blank.
II a representative set of replies
can be had, 1t will be possible not
only to make an accurate statement
of the labor supply and demand, but
also of the tendency of wages and to
forecast conditions for the coming
season.
All of the reliable data on costs of
living. wage tendencies, labor demand
and labor supply, which is furnished
by the Federal government depart
ments, is derived from answers to
similar questions, as well as from per-
sonal investigation by agents whose
salary the Government is able to pay.
The State Department of Labor is
endeavoring to perform a similar use-
full service, but is greatly handicapped
by lack of funds. II those receiving
the questions, whether they be en-
ployers or not. will take five minutes
to reply. the work will be greatly IA
cilitated, and the net result will be of
distinct benefit to the employers as
we'll as to the employees.
The information received cannot
be given out, under penalty Of law,
except in the form of generalized av-
erages, so no one need fear that any
private information will be betrayed.

URGES SUPPORT OF
AMERICAN RED CROSS

Governor Boyle of Nevada has is
sued a proclamation designating the
period commencing on November
13, 1921 (Red Cross Sunday, to No

l particularly commend this move
ment to the people of Nevada, not
only for the good that is done by the
American Red Cross, but as a means
of expressing gratitude for a most
patriotic and efficient work during
the war.
The American Red Cross has made
plans for much wider field of use
fulness by cooperating for the public
health and safety and for the extern
sion of nursing facilities in a way not
previously attempted.
This Organization Is the only un-

catastrophe requiring immediate prac-
tical aid and continuous charitable
expenditures.
To those of us who desire to be en-
listed among the benefactors Of the
human race, membership in the
American Red Cross offers one of the
most productive opportunities when
compared to the cost involved.
During the roll-call period the op-
portunity is given for members to
continue their membership and for
nonmembers to associate with this
benevolent enterprise.

LAST SUNDAYS METEOR

A Diamond Valley correspondent
sends the Sentinel the following ad-
ditional particulars of the meteor that
visited that section last Sunday.
The ranchers of Diamond Valley
were startled Sunday evening by a
loud noise much like thunder, ac-
companied by a rafting which caused

ery one rushed outside to see what
had caused the disturbance. 1t was
a clear night. but nothing could De

away in the distance. 1t lasted not
less than three minutes and ended In
eight or nine blasts as II powder were

that Mr.. Dibble had seen what ap-
peared to be a meteor cross the SKY
and surveyors in canyon north oi
there reported they had seen large

NEW COMPANY STARTS WORK
Work will be started next week on
the Berryman-Paronig group Of claims
that lie between the Hamburg claims

This group contains a large area OF
the crushed limestone portions of the
Hamburg limestone formation that
has been SO profitably mined at the
windfall mine for its gold contents.
The group has been taken over un-
der bond to, and will be financed by
Detroit men who have been interested
In the venture by George P. Hyde.
Present operations will consist Of pre-
pairing the portal Of tunnel that will
cross-cut the numerous fractures now

the summit of the divide between
this group and the Hamburg shaft.
Locally. the enterprise is consid-
cred as one that has good chances of
developing into profitable mine. The
sands" that are found there, in
many cases show gold contents of
much more than a commercial value,
and there are strong reasons for be-
lieving that large sized bodies of this
class OF ore will be found in the
course Of exploratory work.
