shop crafts who are working in the
shops and it was unanimously agreed
the honor roll by Tuesday noon, July
IL, would be subject to the laws of
their respective crafts constitutions,
which they took a solemn oath to
abide by. No request is made of
them other than that it is hoped they
will give the suggestion and earnest
consideration in that of going back
over the four years they have belonged
to their crafts organization and com
pare the working conditions and privi-
ieges that they have enjoyed that their
organizations without doubt have
procured and maintained, with the con-
ditions that existed previous to the
time the crafts were organized and also
to reflect upon what they can reason
ably expect in the future without an
organization and the true brotheTly
love and friendship of their fellow

IS NOW ON
THE ATHLETIC CONTESTS

Public interest in this community
Is now centered on the promised in
terscholastic meeting that will be
held here a week from next Satur-
day. A crowd of about two hun
dred is expected to attend from
the leading towns of Nevada and
keen contests, arising from friendly
rivalry, promise to make the date
one that will stand out for many
years.
Men teachers at the high school
and their boy charges have been at
work for long time preparing for
the track meeting and a stage has
been reached in the task of prepara-
tion of athletic grounds, including
the cinder running track, that is
denominated the last degree of ex-
cellence. 1t thus happens that the
visitors and home people will have
no complaint to offer on the score
OF facilities and a successful series
of contests is looked forward to in
a very sanguine way.

PLACER MINING At
CAMP Of DUN GLEN
Dredge and Other Machinery IL on
Way to Work Demonstrated
Deposits of Gravel That
Are Rich in Gold

The much desired mining revival
in this county seems to be well on
the way and activities are an
nounced with increasing frequency
by those interested in the industry.
One Of the latest and most porten-
tious declarations concerns the en-
terprise instituted by Charles H.
Brown of San Francisco, and as
sociates, at Dun Glen, where an
area of placer ground, four miles in
length and extending to the noun
tain summit, is controlled.
Mr.. Brown visited this city few
days ago and told of having ordered
substantial list of placer mining
equipment. Included is a Trommel
gravel washing machine, which is in
reality miniature dry-land dredge.
The completed plant will have ca
pacity for handling one hundred
yards of dirt and gravel each day.
Even radio phone has been Or
dered for early installation to keep
the mining enterprise in constant
touch with the outside world. All
of this equipment is now on the way
to this city.
Although considerable ground has
been prospected and proven for its
placer gold values, additional shafts
are being sunk to the gravel bed
for the purpose of prospecting the
district. Pumps are to be used to
supply water for washing the gravel,
one having already been installed
with capacity of 160 gallons per
minute. Others are to be rapidly
put in place. At present force of
five men is employed, but as soon
as the new equipment arrives the
force of workers will be much aug
mented.
Among the territory acquired by
Mr.. Brown lately is the Nelson ranch
in the Dun Glen vicinity. The bal
ance of the valley has either
been located or optioned. Thus the
large holdings controlled constitute
assurance that the enterprise will
have long life, while on the other
hand the rich placer mining posi-
bilities presented make certain that
reclamation of gold values will
form very substantial additions to
the general wealth.

BETTER STOCK FOR
RANGES OF COUNTY
D. F. Abel Brought Carload of -
Head of Shorthorn Sires For
Distribution Among This
County's Stockmen

D. F. Abel, Winnemucca stock
man, returned Saturday from South
Dakota points with a carload of
twenty-four young pure-bread
Shorthorn sires which have been dis
posed of to cattlemen in this county.
The lot is probably the finest that
ever came in northern Nevada. They
are all young and represent the
highest type of breeding perfected
in Scotland. Examples of the splen-
did beef qualities of the young sires
are contained in weights as shown
at Ogden, Utah, after the car had
been on the road for several days.
A thirty-months-old animal weighed
ITO pounds and one eighteen
months old weighed 1910 pounds
Outstanding characteristics are the
heavy bones of the imporations and
general smoothness. One of the
young sires was imported from Scot
land.
The animals have been distributed
among the stockmen of the county
as follows: ]. E. Hearn, eleven;
VIM. Pearce, nine; George Wilker-
son, two; Abel & Curtner, two.
Mr.. Abel spent month in South
Dakota cattle districts making his
selections and feels, along with
others, that he has rendered dis
tinct service to the stock interests
of this county in introducing the
new blood into this district. It evil
dences trend toward better cattle
in northern Nevada and will be fol-
lowed by additional stock Of equally
high standard.

THE vAGARIES OF THE
HORRID WEATHER MAN

"The weather man is simply hor-
rid," said one Winnemucca matron
this morning. OF course, she did
not mean Government Weather OBJ
server Ray Fisher, but that invisible
individual who is supposed to give
US our temperatures and precipita-
ton and air currents. Mr.. Fisher
merely records, sometimes with a
distinct feeling of disgust, the re-
suits of his superior whom he has
never met either socially or in a
business way. He was really put
out this afternoon when he handed
The Silver State the record as it
appears at his station for the twen-
ty-four hour period, ended at eight
o'clock this morning, for it showed
the mercury at the 25 above zero
mark at 5 o'clock am, with high
temperature yesterday of as, zooie
boy, it was chilly. Fair womankind
reappeared this am. clad in furs,
men were wearing their ulsters and
other unmistakable signs of winter
were about. But these are all be-
side the more important thing of
damage done. Mr.. Fisher does not
believe that vegetation in this county
had reached a stage in verdancy
where the freeze could do harm.
But out on the ranges mamma
sheep and their newborn babes suf-
fered, though without casualty. The
crop growing season, so auspiciously
under way, was suddenly terminal
ed. Old Man Crouch reappeared ON
the streets of Winnemucca. "One
helluva climate, Nevada has," he
said. And his listeners nodded af-
firmatively.
Travellers from the west state To-
calities brought werd this morning
that considerable snow fell in the
Hazen vicinity and that as the wind
blew the snow drifted and appeared
to be about two feet deep at places
along the railway. But through
fear that one may preach a homily
the weather record must be re-
sumed: The mean temperature yes
erday was 38 as compared to a nor
NAL mean for the date of 81, an
other figure that creates a state of
askance as to from whence did this
arctic gust descend. The precipita-
ton for the last twenty-four hour
period was .01 of an inch, the pre-
vailing wind direction is northeast.
The forecast for tonight and We'd
nesday: generally fair with heavy
frost in the morning and not so cold
as this morning.

CITY AUTHORITIES
CONSIDER NEW LAW
What Has Been Termed Little Vol
stead Act" Will Be Introduced
at Next Meeting of the
Winnemucca Council

A city law enactment proposal
banning liquors and drugs in this
city and prescribing penalties for
infringement, generally referred to
elsewhere as "The Little Volstead
Law" will be up for first reading
at the city council meeting next
Monday night. Action on the or
dinance will be taken at the regular
meeting of the council to be held
on the night of Monday, June s.
The ordinance, now in course of
preparation, will be very similar in
its provisions to others enacted by
Reno and Lovelock. Elko is another
Nevada town where the authorities
are considering local laws to deal
with the liquor and narcotic evils.
Honest efforts are being directed
by the city authorities to step into
the laxity in law enforcement
breach and the mandate is plain
that the bootlegger has worn his
welcome in this city to a frazzle.
In addition to bringing about bet
ter regulations in this city the au-
thorities here believe that where
law breaches occur following the
enactment, should it be effected,
that a considerable revenue in
moneys may be derived from the
law.

HUMBOLDT FLOW is NOW
AT SEASONAL MAXIMUM

The stage Of the Humboldt river
at the bridge in this city reached
the 8.6 foot mark this morning for
the first time for the season. It is
believed that the present cold spell
will result in a considerable diminu-
tion of the flow and that the de-
layed runoff will come steadily and
without the flood stage that had
been generally expected.
