A small stampede to the new
strike, near the old Boyer mine,

Moody states that approximately
thirty people have visited the site
from Fallon as well as a large num-
ber of people from Loyelock.
High grade ore. giving good as
says were found, Moody states, and
large quantity of low grade ore
that gives indications of being suf-

The Boyer mine was one of the
foremost producers in the state in
the early days and the ground sur

present plant at Lahontan, leased
from the reclamation service, and on
which the lease expires In 1924.
The reclamation service contends
that the power permit granted by
the state for the 400 second feet of
water at Vista would preclude the
building of reservoir In Spanish
Springs valley because 1t would be
necessary at all times for this much
water to flow down the river for
power purposes.
Passing the Buck" Says Boyle
No federal permit has been grant
ed tho Nevada Valleys Power Com
pany, although an application Is
pending and was held up at the re-
quest of the state in 1919. when the
controversy over the Lake Tahoe
outlet was at its height.
1T looks to me like an attempt on
the part of the reclamation service
to pass the buck to the state on
the completion of the Newlands pro-
ject," said the governor this morn
ing. Il have not replied to the rec
lamation service on the matter but
expect to within week or ten days.
Given In Good Faith
"The permit granted by the state
TO the power company In 1911 was
granted in good faith at time when
the reclamation service apparently
had no idea of building the Spanish
Springs reservoir or doing other ex-
tension work with which the Vista
permit confiicted.

Three Arrested
in Federal Raid
Prohibition Officers Arrive From
Reno and Invade Well and Bar
rel House Friday Night
c. NJ. HOOVER, ID. Nj. MCKENZIE
AND .. A. BLACKWOOD TAKEN
Released ON Bonds of One Thousand
Dollars Each by United States
Commissioner

ID. w. Mckenzie, proprietor of
the Well bar; o. A. Blackwood,
bartender at the Well and formerly
night watchman in Fallon, and c.
M. Hoover. proprietor of the Bar
rel House, were arrested last Fri
day evening by squad of federal
prohibition agents from Reno on
charges of violating the national
prohibition laws.
The agents, armed with search
warrants, arrived in Fallon Friday
evening and the raids took place
about nine o'clock.
Two of the officers went to the
Well and two to the Barrel House
AT the Well drinks were purchased
by the officers. The drinks that were
served were saved as evidence. The
bartender, on seeing that the guests
were federal officers, attempted to
break the bottle that contained the
liquor by throwing it to the floor,
but failed, according to the officers.
The bottle and the few drops of
liquor remaining in it after the
drinks had been served was also re-
tanned by the officers as evidence.
Refused At Barrel House
At the Barrel House, Hoover re-
fused to sell drinks to the officers.
One of the officers, however, had
stationed himself near a closet,
where, by advance information, he
said, they had learned that the liq-
uor was kept. The officers had
Hoover open the door and then took
the key from him. A quart of liQ-
uor was seized by the officers to be
retained as evidence in the case.
The officers left the Barrel House
without creating any commotion and
when they left few of the hangers
on realized that the place had been
raided, one of the officers stated.
One Count Against Hoover
Only one charge is placed against
Hoover, the charge reads, "wilfully
and knowingly having in his pos
session intoxicating liquor contain
ing one-half of one per cent alcohol,
by volume, fit for use for beverage
purposes.
Besides being charged with hav-
ing liquor in their possession, Nc
Kenzie and Blackwood, according to
the complaint, did unlawfully will
fully and knowingly, sell intoxicat-
ing liquor"
The men were brought before
United States Commissioner ID. e.
Williams Saturday morning. Bond
was fixed at $1,000 for their appear
anee at the hearing of the case to
be held by Williams. The tentative
date for the hearing was set for to-
day, depending, however, on the ar
rival of federal officers.
Hearing To-day
Commissioner Williams received
word yesterday afternoon that the
officers would be able to attend the
hearing of the men today. The
hearing will be held at two o'clock
this afternoon.

Highway Work Being
Started in County
Graveling Saltwater Road; Party of
Surveyors Arrive TO Map Out
Lincoln Highway Route

Much highway work was started
in the county during the past week.
Graveling OF the road to Saltwater
was commenced last week and it is
expected that within a short time
the roads In all sections of the coun-
ty will be much improved. A party
of surveyors, working for the state
highway department, arrived in
Fallon last week for the purpose of
making a location survey of the
eleven miles of the Lincoln highway
that are between Fallon and Grimes,
according to r. Windell, who is in
charge of the party.
Windele stated that the survey
was for the purpose of furnishing
the state officials with data on which
TO base their estimates and on
which applications for rights of way
are based. Windele added that
State Highway Engineer Borden
plans to have the preliminary work
completed and requests for bids
published within a few months.
The graveling of the Saltwater
road was commenced on Saltwater
avenue and the road as far as the
Thomas Dolf ranch has been put in
good shape. The two county trucks
are working, hauling gravel, as well
as four teams belonging to F. W.
Dudley and three belonging to Will
liam Harmon.
The work has been somewhat de-
layed due to the fact that the farm
ers in the valley are busy in the
fields, but 1t is thought that within
few weeks large number of them
will be able to aid.

NO UNEMPLOYMENT HERE
SO LEGION EMPLOYMENT
DAY WILL GO UNNOTICED

American Legion Employment
Day will in all probability pass un-
noticed in Fallon, according to the
officers OF the local post. Next Mon
day has been designated by the ma
tional officers as day when posts
throughout the country shall make
special effort to find jobs for all
ex-service men.
The Fallon post of the Legion,
however, has already done its work
with a hundred per cent efficiency,
as far as can be ascertained, it has
been stated. 1t is thought that
there are no ex-service men in the
country who have not Jobs.

of the people of the city and county
and 1t Is planned TO call ON all pub
lie spirited citizens to aid In the
work, 1t was stated.
Such a park, according to A. J.
Reed, commander of the local post.
would fill long felt need in Fal-
Ion. 1t would not only furnish a
place where the older people could
have healthy recreation but would
be a play ground for the school
children, where they could spend
their idle time in constructive play.
Many towns, no larger than Fal-
Ion, have such Improvements and
there is no reason why, IL the peo-
pie will get together and work and
forget all prejudices, Falion cannot
have park that its citizens can be
proud of. he said.
The opinion of the members OF
the executive committee was that 1t
would be impossible for any one or
ganization to accomplish the desir-
ed results alone, it will take the CO.
operation Of the entire community,
they said.
While taking the first step in the
work the Legion members stated
that they were unwilling to take the
entire responsibility of raising the
funds. Their desire was to start
the ball rolling and aid in every
way in keeping 1t rolling.
Commander Reed was authorised
to call meeting of representatives
of all organizations in Fallon, in
cluding the lodges, and churches for
the purpose of discussing the plan
and outlining ways and means for
obtaining the funds.
Beatty announced that the school
has a fund of more than q hundred
dollars that will be contributed to
the park. 1t was stated that there
are approximately seven hundred
dollars in the swimming pool fund.
Money, sufficient to start the work
can be obtained from many sources,
it was said, and much volunteer
labor can be depended on.
Beatty also said that II the mater
ials were furnished the boys in the
manual training department Of the
grammar school would erect the
band stand in the park, under the
supervision of William Bell, in
structor. He said that Bell had al
so offered to design the building.
L. w. Crehore, member of the
public Improvement committee of
the Legion, explained the plan to
the members of the Churchill coun-
ty chamber of commerce at the reg
ular meeting of that organization
Monday night.
The concensus of opinion at the
chamber of commerce meeting was
that the committee should concen-
trate their efforts on the early COM
pletion of the swimming pool, in as
much as the work had already been
started. The members also advocat-
ed further improvements at the GEM
etery.
1.-The question is, can we raise
S4,000?" is the summary as stated
by j. P. Eldredge. He, announced
that as custodian of the swimming
pool fund he was anxious to turn
it over to the proper committee.
Crehore stated that the Legion
had furnished approximately one
half of the funds that were spent
on the Improvement OF the cemetery
and that it had just reached the
place where the Legion was ready
to turn the cemetery over to the
city.

be reached Friday the transfer will
be made, Branch said.
