MINING LEASES
SHOW RICH ORE
Leasing Activities Spring Up in the
Close-In Territory West of This
City and Bright Promise Is
Held Out by Discovery

Highly significant developments
have occurred in recent days in this
city which form an augury Of added
wealth for this community along
with considerable profit to the men
behind the plan to fully develop the
several claims in the Ten-Mile vi
cinity which have shown remarkable
surface values. Included is the Red
Boy claim, which was located by
G. H. Clark, and later leased to
+. A. Broedow and w. F. King,
miner-argonaut who has been to the
four corners of the globe in his
mining quests.
Mr.. Broedow is mining operator
of considerable note and stopped in
this city recently on his way home
from a trip to Alaska, responding to
the urging of Mr.. King, with whom
he had been associated previously
The two investigated the Red Boy
claim, negotiated and now have the
right to prosecute work. Their
leasing operations will be charac-
terized by very active work and
preparation is now in progress
which will rapidly lead up to regu-
lar mining. A shaft is to be sunk
TO considerable depth on the vein
that has been uncovered very close
to the surface of the ground. This
vein is of width of IL inches and
is of conglomerate quartz nature.
Free gold abounds and numerous
samples have been brought into
town for tests. The foot wall is of
altered granite and it is believed
that sinking will disclose widened
ledge and an increase of gold values,
the chief mineral of value.
Just now the leasers are engaged
in moving two small houses to the
Red Boy, nine miles west of this
city. One will be used Tor a cook
house and the other for sleeping
quarters.
On the King of Diamonds group,
owned by Milo Wilkinson and asso-
ciates, where development is in
progress, a shaft is down twenty
feet. 1t is said that the ore show
ing are very good, panning well in
free gold from the top of the shaft
to the bottom. Other claim owners
on the gold hill are planning for
development. A great number of
holes have been dug in the camp

CLEVELAND MAN VISITING
HIS BROTHER IN THIS CITY

C. E. Squires, head of the manu-
featuring company in Cleveland,
Ohio, bearing his name, is here
visiting his kinspeople for the holi-
day period. His firm manufactures
steam engine specialties and he
comes west well versed in the trade
conditions prevailing in the indus
trial centers of the east. He is now
on his way home from a business
mission in California and discussing
the affairs of business discloses a
fund of information bearing a pc
culiar interest to the analytical mind
wherever it may be. Benig a manu-
facturer and keen business man of
the conservative type, student of
economics and fair man generally,
Mr.. Squires recites a very interest
ing review of eastern conditions.
1t is his opinion that many classes
of business are to suffer marked
readjustment during the next few
years and that owners thus affected
should, if they were privileged so
to do, repair to their country homes
and bide more propitious time to
pursue their activities. In other
words, it is Mr.. Squires' idea that
considerable losses will attend a re-
adjustment that is inevitable during
the next few years.
However, Mr.. Squires is an opti-
mist of the conservative type and
sees the silver lining to the clouds
of the moment in a general pros
perity that lies ahead, in his opin-
ion, of the readjustment which he
emphasizes. The salvation of the
country lies, he thinks, in conserva-
tism, the return of working eff
cheney, and the complete abandon
ment of extravagant practices, which
in the final analysis, he believes, is
the fundamental which has caused
our troubles of this period.
Mr.. Squires will be here until
after Christmas, when he expects to
return to his home in Cleveland.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING LAST
NIGHT PROVED INTERESTING
Water Question Was Settled, Reply to Legion Post
Adopted Bills Were Allowed and One City Off
cial Entered Formal Complaint Against the
Moonshiners of 'South End" of the City

The regular December meeting of
the city council, postponed from the
first Monday of the month to last
night, proved interesting in more
ways than one and was featured by
the transaction of considerable bust
ness in which the taxpayers of the
city evince concern.
Mayor Brandon and his council
men associates prepared and adopt
ed a reply to the Vernon Robins
Post, American Legion, in which a
policy was declared carrying favor
for the plan of employing ex-service
men in city positions in accord with
new state law which was enacted
by the last state legislature.
Copies of the declaration are be-
ing prepared by the city clerk to
day and will be mailed to the Le-
gion post. The communication,
termed "a happy ending" to mat
ter fraught with misunderstanding
is as follows:
To the Commander and Members
of Vernon Robins Post, American
Legion, Winnemucca, Nevada.
Gentlemen: Pursuant to an un-
derstanding arrived at at the meet
ing of the City Council, held on
November 81, 1921, the City Coun-
ell herewith submits its reply to the
resolution of your honorable body,
concerning the employment of ex-
service men by the city:

with the views expressed in the
resolution as to the employment of
ex-service men in city positions. As

ATTORNEY CAMPBELL
SUGGESTED FOR CONGRESS

A suggestion pleasing to residents
OF this county was contained in the
Reno Evening Gazette's political
column last Saturday when the pos
sibilities of L. G. Campbell, promi-
nent attorney of this city, becoming
candidate for congress on the Re-
publication ticket, were discussed.
This is a matter mentioned fire.
quently in Republican circles over
the state and now that Congressman
Arentz has announced intention of
running for the senatorship it is
probable politicians will endeavor to
induce Mr.. Campbell to make the
race, as he is well and favorably
known not only in this county but
in other portions of the state, is a
clean, outstanding man and fully
qualified for the place. The Gazette
said:
at is reported that a deputy in a
federal office here has been feeling
the pulse of the Republicans in
Reno recently to determine their
views on the possible candidacy of
L. G. Campbell of Winnemucca for
congressman from Nevada.
'Mr. Campbell is one of the lead
ing citizens of Humboldt county and
was presidential elector on the Re-
publican ticket last year. He is
chairman of the Republican central
committee of his county"
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1921-12-20

word preference" as used in the
act, is understood by the council to
mean, that as between two appli-
cants for city position, one of
whom is an ex-service man, and the
other not, it is the duty of the coun-
ell, under the law, to give prefer
ence to the ex-service man, pro-
vided that he is substantially equally
well qualified and competent as the
other applicant. Where there is a
clear difference in qualifications and
competency between two of such
applicants, in favor of the nom
service man, the council feels that
it would be its duty for the public
good, in such a case, to appoint such
non-service man to the position. We
believe, and are confident that you
will agree with US, that this is a
fair intendment of the law, and of
the meaning to be given to the
word, preference" Such a con-
struction places in our hands the
exercise of certain discretion, and
we wish to assure you that it is our
intention to exercise this discretion
as fairly and inpartially as we can,
always giving to the ex-sergice man
the benefit of any doubt But it
must be clearly understood that we
reserve this right to exercise such
discretion in choosing employees for
the city.
The other word in the act, which
deserves attention, is the word "citi-
zen." As we understand it, any
person is a citizen of the state of
Nevada who has come into the state
with the bona fide intention of re-
siding and making his home therein,
and who, at the same time, is citi-
zen of the United States. We realize
that there is a general impression
that before anyone can become a
citizen of the state of Nevada, he
or she must have resided therein six
months, or longer. But we do not
believe that this is the proper mean
ing of the word as used in the act,
or elsewhere. Before Mr.. Burke
was appointed to his present posi-
ton, he was questioned as to
whether he had come into this state
to make his home or not. He gave
assurances and presented facts of a
satisfactory nature clearly showing
that he had returned to his native
state and city for the purpose of
making a permanent home therein.
We believe that the appointment
of Mr.. Burke was in compliance in
every way with the act in question.
We take this opportunity Of as
suring your honorable body that any
changes hereafter made in the city
service will be brought to your at
tention SO that you may have an
opportunity of presenting an appli-
cant Tor the position. And any such
application will be considered by us
impartially and squarely upon its
merits, having due regard to the
welfare of the city and the desire
on our parts to favor those men
who stood ready in the late war TO

BENIGN STORM
COMES OUR WAY
Record-Breaking Snowfalls Come In
Quick Succession and Weather
Man Promises More Pre-
eipitation Tomorrow

A storm of the most benign kind
visited Nevada yesterday and last
night and left precipitation in this
part of the state that allays appre-
hension entertained previously that
this was to be dry season with all
OF the attendant deprivation that
would have issued to the ranchers
and stockraisers.
The latest storm is general in
character and followed in quick
succession Sundays storm which Pc
culiarly left much to be desired as
a result of its visitation, merely hit
ting here and on east and missing
the higher elevations of northern
Nevada where precipitation has been
badly needed for months. What
was left undone Sunday, however,
was completed last night, and this
afternoon a glorious sun energies
from between the clouds to make
CHEEKY, in the winter fashion, vast
area of snow which has brought a
general good that cannot be esti-
mated in dollars.
Better still, Ray Fisher, govern
ment weather bureau man, comes
out this morning with pronounce
ment that our respite from the storm
is brief and that more rain or snow
may be expected tonight and tomor-
row because the instruments at his
station synchronize with influences
that must add generous measure
to the. already liberal precipitation
that has come our way.
Last nights storm brought this
part of Humboldt county four
inches of snow, rather wet in char
acter, and the precipitation from
the storm up to noon today was SO
of an inch. On Sunday night three
inches of packed snow fell and the
resultant precipitation was figured
at .28 of an inch, making ST of an
inch that fell in this city as a re-
suit of the two storms. Approx
mately six inches of snow lies on
the level in Winnemucca, yet this
promises to disappear rapidly, melt
ing being on today as a result of
temperatures that are in excess of
the freezing point. At noon the
thermometer officially registered 35
above. This melting is the thing
desired, as range grass grows won-
derfully beneath the snow and in
spots protected by sagebrush, be-
comes green and excellent food for
stock. In January it is thought best
if the snow freezes and thus affords
Storage for water to be used next
year for irrigation.
Reports from points further east
show that the snowfall increased in
volume to point beyond Elko, in
which city precipitation double
that falling here was recorded.
Reno complains that it has been
left out of the storms area, while
Lovelock reports several inches Of
snow.
