GOOD PROGRESS
AT VITAGRANDI

Work at the Vita Grande mine at
Carter Station, which is owned by E.
Roberts and associates, is progressing
rapidly and during the past few
months the shaft has been driven to
the 200-foot level and prosecuting is
now being pushed on an average of
eight feet In every twenty-four hours,
The owners are certain that they
have one of the biggest properties in
Western Nevada and are expending a
large sum of money in developing the
NINE
The property was formerly owned
by the late Fred Livingstone and upon
his death work that he had carried on
over number of years ceased. The
property was finally located by Prince
Catlin and Geo Springmeyer, who last
year disposed of controlling inter
est in the mine to Mr.. Roberts and as
sociates, who are well known In the
Nevada mining world, having operated
in the southern camps for a number
of years and have strong financial
backing.

Entertainment
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Christmas tree and entertain
ment given at the Carson Valley I'm
provement Club hall by the pupils of
the Minden Consolidated Schools Mon
day night was attended by one of the
largest crowds ever to assemble in
that hail. and the entertainment, with
out exception, was one of the most en-
joyable affairs of its kind ever staged
in this community. While space does
not permit giving special mention to
each child that took part, as a whole,
the acting of each child was of the
highest order, and the splendid train
ing reflects great credit to the teach
ers of the Minden school, the Misses
Alice OBrien and Dorothy Raycraft.
After the entertainment, the ladies'
of the Minden Fortnightly Club held
a sale of fancy work and homemade
candy and everything was sold within
a short space of time. Following the
sale, a social dance was given, a large
crowd remaining for this feature of
the evenings entertainment. Music
was furnished by Tony's Orchestra of
Reno.

DODGE CAR BUCKS
THRU DEEP SNOW

A Dodge car, operating on the stage
line between Gardnerville and Mark
leeville proved its capabilities Tues
day morning when Seth Bergevin, the
driver, piloted the car through three
feet of snow between Markleeville and
the summit.
Bergevin was told that the Dodge, or
any other car for that matter, could
not negotiate the climb from Mark
leeville to the summit through the
deep snow, and was advised to secure
a horse-drawn vehicle Having driven
the Dodge for several months, Berge-
vim was of the belief that the car
would fight it's way through the deep
snow, and after providing chains for
the wheels, undertook to accomplish
the impossible feat. The sturdy car
showed 1t way through the three feet
of snow and without any assistance,
save from the power developed by the
motor, reached the summit in record
time and continued on the run to
Gardnerville, reaching this place with
the mail on schedule time.

DEEP SNOW HINDERS PRICE OF WOOL Is
MAIL CONTRACTORS STEADILY CLIMBING

Eastern trade papers continue TO
point to a big scramble for wool from
the coming 1922 clip of the West on
the part of Eastern wool dealers. Late
reports received by the Nevada Live
Stock Association are to the effect
that offers of twenty cents pound
have been made for wool on the
Sleeps backs in Utah, the offer being
refused. With an estimate for the
consumption for December, it Is fig-
ured that consumption of wool for
1921 will total 100000 900 pounds.
The 1921 clip totaled but $50, 100000
pounds. Much of the surplus wool
stored in the country during the free
trade period has been absorbed by
manufacturers, this being particularly
true in the case of the better grades.
Recent government auctions of the
surplus wool in government hands
have been very successful, all Offer
ings being taken at gradually increas-
ing prices.
Some offers are already being re-
ceived for the 1922 clip of Nevada
wool. according to recent report.
Predictions are now being heard that
wool will sell at all the way from
twenty-five cents to thirty cents the
coming spring, depending largely upon
how great a delay is experienced in
securing passage of the permanent
tariff bill.

SPARKS HAS WARM
DANCING PARTY

The Sparks Tribune publishes the
following concerning recent dance
held in that city;
The 'Kostume Bali given at Robi-
sons hall last evening furnishes one
of the main topics of conversation this
morning in this city. 1t was a rather
torrid affair, according to all accounts,
and a great many of the costumes that
were worn were remarkable for their
scantiness
THE affair became real hilarious
after midnight and this morning the
police court was crowded with gay
revelers who had been incautious by
word of mouth, or blow of fist and
had become imbroiled with other
parties.
THE affair was not conducted ac-
cording to Hoyle, according to men,
bers of the police department, and
things were done and things were seen
that are not usually considered de-
courous in polite society.
"Chief of Police Walstrom stated
this morning that another affair OF
the character of the dance held last
night would never be held in Sparks
as long as he is on the force. Con-
tinuing, he stated. that in long and
varied career on the police force he
had never seen the equal. Young
girls and women were costumed tc
represent Egyptian dancers, others
representing babes and with just
about as much clothing on them as
some of the smiling cherubs have
when they have their pictures taker
in the altogether. The chief also sait
that there was plain evidence that lots
of booze had been imbibed and tha
those who drank freely and dressed
| loosely should have been placed II
Jail, but that he had no decent plac,
to put them for the night.
"In the police court this morning
, five answered to the charge of fight
ing, and $40 in fines were assessed
against the various defendants"

HEAVY SNOW STORM
BRINGS JOY TO
FARMERS

Following the customary heavy
wind that proceeds all big storms in
this section, snow began falling here
Monday evening at nine o'clock, and
while the storm did not start in
earnest until after midnight, at seven
o'clock Tuesday morning Carson Val
ley was blanketed beneath thirteen
inches of wet snow. and is considered
one of the most needful and bene-
fetal storms that has occurred this
season. At Genoa about eighteen
inches of snow fell during Monday
night and at Lake Tahoe three feet
fell during the same period.
Mondays storm broke the back of
one of the most protracted dry spells
known in this section In several years
and Is of great benefit to the livestock
interests of Nevada. For weeks sheep
men have been desirous OF taking
their f1ocks onto the deserts in South
ern Nevada, but have been unable to
do so because of the lack of snow to
furnish sheep with moisture while
feeding miles from springs or water
holes. The storm will permit driving
sheep onto the desert where dry feed
is reported to be good.
For the first time In three years
people of Gardnerville this week found
it necessary to shovel trails through
snow, while the kiddies who have
been waiting for snow that would en-
able Old Santa to make his trip to
this section in his sleigh, were de-
lighted with the fall of deep snow and
avoided the trails parents had so
painfully prepared for them.
This year Christmas is ushered in
with all the old-style glories and the
frosted and sparkling blanket of white
adds to the charm and reality of
Christmas. The fall of snow has
brought happiness to the farmers and
already a good foundation has been
laid in the high mountains for future
storms and the prospects for good
supply of water during next season is
exceptionally bright.

Wednesday evening after being out
two days on trip to the Mountain
House and return, distance of eigh-
teen miles. lie reports four feet and
one-half of snow on the Double
Springs Summit fifteen miles south
his way through with the mail truck,
was forced to shovel snow for a dis
tanee of two miles. At the Mountain
House he connected with the stages
from Wellington and Topaz, but con-
nections with Bridgeport have not
been made
snow was reported Wednesday after
noon and snow was still falling. A
mail carrier left bridgeport Wednes-
day on snow shoes and carried the
pouch to a point fourteen miles this
side of that town, there to meet a
stage that will bring the mail to Gard
neryille. At Sweet water twenty-six
inches of snow was reported Wednes-
day.
Yesterday a band of horses were
driven from Bridgeport to Sweet water
in an effort to open the road for
horse-drawn vehicles. Mr.. Gefeke re-
ports that three big motor trucks are
showed in at Bridgeport and the
drivers were to attempt to plow
through the snow yesterday, but at
the time OF going to press no report
of their progress had been received.
1t is the heaviest snow that has
occurred in the past four years and
the mail contractor has his hands full
trying to open the road in order to
maintain the mail schedule between
the two points.

thereby have gained and hold right
! to the said waters whenever needed
for agricultural, domestic and stock
watering use;
Cd That the allowing of water to
the farmers of Carson Valley for Pc
riod of only $50 days would mean the
destroying of many ranches, the turn
ing of fertile spots into deserts, and
the destruction of homes;
(k) That the adopting and enforcing
OF the rule of $50 days for the use of
water is unconstitutional and direct
violation of the Constitution of the
United States as it would derpive peo-
pie of property rights without due
action of law.
| ID That the adoption of the rule of
1S0 days as time of use of water, with
out just consideration of the various
characters of land and of crops, and
the manner in which said water is
used, is unfair, unjust, and not equity.
Wherefore this protest is duly filed
that the rights and privileges of the
water users of Carson Valley be pro-
tected, and demand that further in
vestigation of the water conditions be
held that equity and jusice may be
done to all, or else the attempted ad-
judication of the waters of the said
river be abandoned.

Adjudication
An inspection of the ground by the
State Engineer has developed the fact
that certain acreage will, on account
of the very coarse gravelly nature of
the soil or other abnormal conditions
require more water for proper irriga-
ton than the regular allotment of 36
acre-feet Owing to lack of measure
ments required to accurately deter
mine what the extra allotment should
be, the State Engineer will reserve the
right as given him under section 36a,
chapter 106, statutes 1921, to later
recommend to the court a temporary
additional allotment of water to such
areas, pending an investigation of the
actual requirements as determined by
authenticated measurements to be
furnished by the appropriation The

this campaign remember that the news
papers are resorting 10 all kinds Of
innuendoes and misstatements. The
good deeds of the police have been
minimized by the newspapers and their
mistakes magnified. Bold and brazen
headlines. containing misstatements Of

reflections on the name OF our fair

Commissioner Enright announced that
this years field day receipts are ex-
pected to increase the police fund to
100000 or si.00o.000 and by investing
that sum at per cent. interest the

sufficient to care for needy families of
