Prohibition officers and a number
of the narcotic squad, six in num-
Der, visited Gardnerville, Tuesday
night, and raided several establish
ments, with the result that the
much-arrested Charlie Glib, was
again taken into camp for having
yenshee in his possession. The drug
was found cleverly concealed in a
stick of wood that had been hol-
lowed out. From the Glib establish
ment, the officer went to a restau-
rant conducted by Charlie Kee,
also from the Flowery Kingdom.
A quantity of moonshine and mar
cotics were found hidden in the
basement, and current rumor has
it that Kee had a roll of good
American bills hidden in the same
spot.-Gardnerville Record-Courier.

Strike Settled
To all intents and purposes the
miners strike in Goldfield was ad-
justed after an all-day conference
between both sides following meet
ing of the miners held the previous
evening. The miners adopted reso-
buttons expressing a willingness to
accept a compromise of 20 cents
instead of insisting on the so cents
which would have given them the
full Tonopah scale. A committee
from the miners waited on the oper-
ators in the morning when they sub
mitted their instructions from the
mass meeting. After some discus
sion the meeting adjourned until
the afternoon when the conference
was resumed and it was agreed to
,as the proposed new scale of SIS

(From The Silver State Files)

Parties returning to Winnemucca
from Rochester state that there
are probably 200 people in the two
camps, known at upper" and 'low-
err" mile and a half apart. There
is one tent hotel, three saloons and
an eating house, which sell notions.
eating houses, in those days, ap-
pear to have been very much the
sar,e as the cafes of this day. Ac-
cording to well known mining au-
thority, it is a porphyry country,
with its veins strong and well de-
fined, giving every indication of
permanency. In the upper camp
the values are principally silver,
while those of the lower camp are
gold. People are focking in from
all parts of the state, coming at the
rate of five or six auto loads a
day. At present the travel is all
fran Lovelock, but it is understood
that Oreana is arranging to ac-
commodate it. A hotel is being
erected and the Southern Pacific
will appoint an agent for the sta
ton. Several cars of ore have been
shipped, giving returns from $40
to $50 per ton. E. A. Ludwig, one
of the first leasers in the camp,
came in yesterday. He secured
one of the finest blocks of ground
in the camp, about three weeks ago,
and it is rumored that he yesterday
refused $500 cash for it.
