Especial to The Silver STATED
RENO, Dec. 6.-There was much
cloudy and stormy weather during
the week, and the mean tempera-
ture was about Z degrees below
normal. The precipitation was
moderate in the west portion, and
light in other sections Of Nevada.
The amount at Reno was 40 inch,
Winnemucca .09 inch, Modena 81
inch. The lowest temperature re-
ported was 8 degrees below zero at
Rebel Creek. Strong southerly winds
prevailed at the close of the week.
The depth of snow on the ground
at Tahoe is 10 inches. The depth
in the mountains in the northeast
portion Of the state is about normal
for this season of the year. The
snow is 20 inches deep on the sum-
NIT near Jarbridge.
Although the weather has been
somewhat unfavorable for stock,
no material suffering was reported.
Feeding was heavier than during
any other week of the season. The
snowfall replenished the water sup
ply on the winter range, but there
was not enough to interfere with
grazing. Fall grain was benefited
by the snow cover in the north.
Sheep on southern ranges are most
ly in good condition, and cattle are
fair to good. Cattle and sheep in
western and northern counties are
generally in good condition, al
though the condition is reported as
only fair in the Rebel Creek and
WA districts. Cattle which are be-
ing fed for beef are doing well
everywhere. Roads are reported as
fair to good.

FOUR INCH FALL OF
SNOW COVERS COUNTY

From reports received from vari-
Gus parts of the county it is learned
that the fall of snow that has pre-
vailed here in Winnemucca, during
the past forty-eight hours, is prac-
tically uniform, throughout the coun-
ty, and would measure in depth, at
this time, at least four inches, had
no melting whatever taken place.
AS it continues showing, at the
hour The Silver State goes to press,
there is naught to indicate that
it will not be double the depth it
now is ere it ceases.
Boys and girls are, Of course,
highly elated and are making much
of the opportunity to indulge in the
joys of snowballing and shedding.

BETTY0' NEAL MILL
OUTPUT $4,000 DAY

The first months run of the
aotation mill of the Betty O'Neal
mines has been so satisfactory that
plans are now being considered for
the second unit of the plant. The
mill is running on ore averaging
s21 a ton and is producing $2500
per day in concentrates. The sec
ond carload was shipped this week
to Utah smelter, says the Golfield
Tribune.
AS soon as the storage battery
electric locomotive arrives all tram
ming of mill ore will be done on
one shaft and the Gatchell haulage
tunnel will then be driven ahead
to cut the Estella vein, an esti-
mated distance of 500 feet. When
the vein is encountered a raise will
be driven through to No. 4 tun-
nel, approximately 500 feet, and
the mine will then be considered
ready for the increased mill capa-
city.
A crosscut is now being driven
from the bottom of the shaft for
the foot-wall vein of the Betty
O'Neal vein system and should cut
it soon as water is pouring out of
the drill holes, indicating proximity
of the fissure.
The ore-bodies on the inter-
mediate level and No. tunnel
have opened up much better than
expected and the mine throughout
promises to more than make good
Ill that has been promised for it.

HEAVY SHOWS REPORTED
AT MANY OTHER POINTS

News reached the Southern Pa
cific agent, P. E. Born, this morn
ing, that Reno is blanketed with
snow to the depth of five inches
and Truckee has had a fall of snow
that measures three feet in depth.
Up to mid-forenoon Mr.. Born said
that there has been no fall of snow
along the route of the Southern
Pacific of such volume as to inter
fere with the movement of train
service.
At this point, while it has showed
at frequent intervals, during the
past forty-eight hours, the fall has
been light, and altogether it will
measure, approximately, close to
four inches.

INDIANS MAKE A
BIG GOLD STRIKE
Paintings Show Fabulous Values In
Yellow Metal and Ore is Esti-
mated to Run Eighty
thousand Dollars q Ton

News Of a sensational gold strike
leaked out this morning and the
town was wild with excitement
among prospectors and mining men
in general. The discovery was
made at camp which has been
christened Nappase, and which lies
Is miles due south of Silver Peak,
and from a hole that was sunk four
feet on Sunday, paintings running
as high as $4,000 per ton in gold
were reported, says the Bonanza.
The new discovery was made
iome time ago by Bob Bass and
Tom Fisherman, two Indians thor
,ughly experienced in prospecting,
md following the running of a
.rench for a length Of so feet, the
edge was found to have a width
If four feet, with average values in
:old Of form $40 to $50 per ton.
The two Indians located four claims
which have been bonded to Hs- C.
Stimler, the first payment having
been made.
Following the news of this mineral
ind over twenty autos left Tonopah
Saturday and Sunday, while almost
IN equal number left Goldfield, and
ground is being staked in many
directions. John Nay was one of
he first to get in the field and he
ocated IL claims, the surface show
ngs of which are considered ex-
.ellent.
The camp of Nappase lies at an
Elevation of $500 feet. The forma-
ion is schist between andesite walls
With white quartz being greatly in
,vidence. There is a fine spring of
water within one mile of the origi-
,al discovery while pine and cedar
bound in quantities. Better than
he average size trees are to be
'ound in many instances having a
ength of 20 feet.
A number of prospectors and
mining men have signified their in
tentions of leaving tomorrow for
the scene of the new mineral find
and samples of ore which have been
On exhibition in the office of II. C.
Stimler, have attracted much at
.ention.

To Serve the State

Sheriff George W. Brady returned
home yesterday morning from Car
son City, where he accompanied
John Harris recently sentenced to
serve the state, for a period rang
ing from ten years to life, following
ais plea of guilty to murder in the
second degree for the Staying of
Claude Silvers, a crime that Harris
egrets more sincerely, in all prob
sbility, than any other person whose
ives the episode affected. Sympa-
by for Harris, of course, is wasted
,ut his most bitter enemy can wish
,im no greater punishment than
hat which he will experience ere
he shuffles off this mortal coil. Re-
morse will gnaw his vitals and en-
bitter all Of his days. His punish.
ment far transcends that which he
would have experienced had he
been sentenced to death, but the
owe of life is such that he is, unu
doubtedly, glad that it was spared
to him, cen though he must know
that his waking moments will be
filed with thoughts of life
wrecked by his own folly, and his
nights crowded with dreams OF
horror.

MONSTER LUMP OF COAL
TAKEN FROM UTAH MINE

Through the courtesy of H. w.
Wolfe, district manager for the
Brotherhood Of American Yeomen,
The Silver State readers are in
debted for a resume of a massive
block of coal just recently taken
from a mine in Utah, and descrip-
tive Of it the Salt Lake City
Tribune says:
What is said to be the largest
lump of coal ever mined, accord
ing to the firm which had the super
lump taken from the mine, has been
placed on exhibition at the Utah
state capitol.
This bit of fuel was placed there
It the request Of H. E. Crockett,
secretary of state. Mr.. Crockett,
old the United States Fuel COM
'any to get as big a lump of coal
rs possible, "the bigger the BETTER"
ior exhibition purposes at Utah's
,apitol.
As a result, the Utah Fuel COM
,any explored the depths of their
King mine at Mohrland, Utah and
'ound a lump which they decided
would fill the bill. This piece of
;oal was 5000 feet underground.
from the mine mouth to the rail-
Dad at Hiawatha, Utah, the coal
raveled distance of 5000 feet by
ramway. Special equipment had
20 be made to handle it in the mine.
rhe coal was taken from a seam
hirty feet in thickness. A machine
vas used to undercut it and to over
ut it, and the ends and back were
heared by hand. The approximate
,ost of getting out the coal, mining
t, loading it, transporting it, un-
oading; hauling to the capitol and
placing it in the exhibition room on
he main floor is $4,000.
The task of getting the coal to
he capitol, even after the huge
ump had reached Salt Lake, proved
4, difficult one. At first, eleven
iorses were hitched to the wagon on
which the coal was placed-fve in
'ront and three on either side. The
,leven-horsepower was futile. Then
he five horses at the front of the
wagon were retained and five-ton
motor truck was attached to the
wagon tongue, while twenty men
yere used as ballast for the truck.
Shen the huge sample of Utah's
coal fields slowly ascended the Main
street grade to the capitol.
According to an official of the
United States Fuel company, here is
enough coal in this lump to heat
an eight-room house for five months
or an entire winter, and furnish the
fuel for the cooking of such a
household for like period of time
in addition.
The block is five feet by ten in
dimensions and weighs $4,000
pounds, including the bands of iror
which form its crate. The iroi
bands weigh 100 pounds, making
the net weight Of the coal, 80,
300 pounds.

An OLD PROSPECT
TO Be WORKED OUT
Old Shaft South of Pronto l. Coins
To Be Equipped With Machin-
cry and Sunk to Lower
Levels by Company

Messrs. o. c., and George l..
Edwards, California men who re-
Gently acquired ownership of some
mining property in this county, To-
Gated about four and half miles
south of Pronto, are here this week
attending to some matters con-
nected with their mining property
and are perfecting arrangements to
make Winnemucca the headquarters
of their company.
During the past month the gentle
men have had a small force of men
at work on the mining property,
getting things squared away for
the proper equipment of the mine
with machinery adequate to the
needs.
The Messrs. Edwards made most
careful and painstaking investiga-
tion, not only of the particular
property Of which they have become
possessed but Of mineral potentiali-
ties throughout the county and ter
ritory contiguous thereto, ere they
made financial investment in the
mine with which they have identi-
fled themselves and they are per-
suaded that the mineral wealth of
Humboldt county has been no more
than surface-scratched up to the
present time, excepting in two or
three specific instances that have,
If full reliance is to be placed in
reports rendered, made phenome-
nally large returns to the men iden-
tilted with the ventures.
The property that the Messrs.
Edwards have taken over is an old
prospect, on which a very small
amount Of work has been done. As
a matter of fact, no work of any
particular worth has ever been
done. A shaft, about ninety feet
in depth, was sunk and its sides,
at frequent intervals from top to
bottom, have been gouged out for
a few feet back-the work ap-
parently, of men who were content
to gouge out ore that bore ocular
evidence of carrying appreciable
quantities of gold and silver, but
were not disposed to continue work,
If it necessitated anything savoring
of search for the continuance of
veins or pockets that pinched out.
The Messrs. Edwards are going
to fit the property with machinery
essential to properly develop it in
an intelligent manner and they are
positive in their convictions rela-
tive to the ultimate unfolding of
ore values of more than merely
nominal worth, as assays taken of
ores from various levels, show most
conclusively that the ratio of gold
to silver values appreciably in
creases with the descension of the
shaft, and the sensible and natural
deduction is that with the sinking
of the shaft to lower levels they
will eventually arrive at ore veins
carrying a content Of both gold
and silver, immeasurably greater
than that now in evidence, and the
latter is of sufficient worth to justi-
fly installation of power hoists, and
incur transportation and milling
costs.

TOWN REST ROOM
. FOR FARMER FOLK
Community Center Workers Should
Get Busy and Arrange Quart
ers for the Farmers and
Their Wies in Town

The Silver State, with no thought
Of debating the policy of any or
ganization centering here, suggests
to the Farm Bureau Community
Center members that at the meet
ing they are to hold this coming
Saturday night they enter into con-
sideration and discussion relative
to the value of Winnemucca rest
room, adequately supplied with
water, toilet rooms, lavatories, and
any other convenience that may sug-
gest themselves of a nature that
will prove pleasing to farmers and
their wives, and all others who
have occasion to come to Winnie
mucca for any purpose whatever.
The combined efforts of the citi-
zens of Winnemucca and the farm
.rs and stockmen of Humboldt
county, comparatively enlisted in
my common cause, can bring about
great many things that no one
organization can accomplish, work
ing alone; but there must, of
course, be an initial move made by
some particular person, or organi-
zation, and it occurs to The Silver
State that the Farm Bureau Com
nunity Center members can, if they
30 determine, bring to fruition
plans along the line indicated, with
)ut the least bit of trouble.
Not until all classes of decent
people residing in Humboldt county
iwaken to a thorough understand
ng and appreciation of the basic
ruth that their interests are iden-
sically the same, and that no one
;lass is independent Of any of
he others, may it be expected that
humboldt county, Winnemucca, or
any Of the other towns or communi-
ties of the county that are not
working in unison in a common
cause, will attain that to which they
are rightfully entitled.
Selishness has no place in COM
munity building and it will be just
rs well for the good of all the
people of Winnemucca and Hum
ooldt county that cease blarneying,
with cheap fiattery anent their liber-
atty, the sort of tripe that con-
tribute a dollar to a cause, with the
expectation that ten times the sum
must revert to them direct. Men
Of that type can best be handled
and made to sit up and take notice
by uttering to them some plain
palpable truths, that will persuade
them that it will be well for them
to get right with the people of the
county, before it is too everlasting
late.
A citizen of Winnemucca-and
one of its best citizens, too-tells
that not once, but a number OF
times during the past summer, he
heard the plaintive complaint made
by farmers and their wives, while
here in this town on shopping ex.
petitions, "The merchants of this
town do not seem to have any cold
drinking water in their places OF
business. What is the matter? Is
ice too blamed high?"
1t is only too true that the drink.
ing place in store, the proprietor
Of which tries to take care of his
trade, along that line, is too often
abused by the sheer carelessness
of some of the very people fol-
whose benefit the convenience was
installed. The rest room will solve
such problems and prove a blessing
without any attending vexations, tc
all who take part in providing it.

New Machinery
Alderman Hoskins has just COM
pleted the installation of some
splendid machinery at his grain
warehouse and is now adequately
equipped, for the first time since
the fire which destroyed his plant
four years ago, to do his own grind
ing. The mill is a big one-an
eight-ton grinder-and will require
a five-horse power motor to run it.

WEATHER DATA To
Be OF GOOD VALUE
With Weather Reports of the Pas,
At Their Command Farmer and
Stockmen Can Use Them
To Own Advantage

The readers of The Silver State
are indebted to Ray L. Fisher, To-
cal weather bureau observer, for
the following meteorological sum-
mary for the month of November; !;
and to the stockmen and the farmer,
who anticipate continuing in busi-
ness here for any number of future
years, it is well worth filing for
future reference, as it will enable
one to come to a reasonable con-
clusion relative to what sort of
weather he may expect during the
month of November, in this coun-
try, basing conclusions on the aver
ages of the past. For instance, the
summary, just rendered by Mr..
Fisher gives the following intensely
valuable information and the prac-
teal man, with this data at his
command, can govern his actions
in certain matters peculiar to farm
ing and stockraising, with a degree
of intelligence that will, in all prob
ability, rebound to his material
profit.
Total precipitation 2.58 inches
consisting of .52 of an inch of
rainfall and 2.6 inches of snowfall,
with the heaviest rain registering
on the 9th, measuring .27 of an
inch; and the heaviest snow on the
29th, when "the beautiful" fell to
a depth Of 1.5 inches.
The highest temperature of the
month was 62 degrees, registered
on the 18th and the lowest was on
the 30th, when the mercury dropped
to 6 degrees; the mean temperature
of the month being 1875 degrees.
The humidity averages, during
the month, registered at the hours
of 5 a. M, IL noon, and p. M,
were 80, 46 and So, respectively.
The total hours of sunshine dur
ing the past month were 191, with
thirteen days out of the thirty re-
gistering 100 per cent sunshine, and
there was not a day during the en-
tire month, that the sun failed of
shining, although the month started,
on the first day, with heavy clouds
and Old Sol showed his face only
for a very brief time and was
quite timid about it.
Total movement of the winds dur
ing the entire month was 4,281
miles, with an average hourly velo-
city of So miles. The highest wind
prevailed on the 18th, when it blew
from the southwest at a maximum
velocity of 27 miles per hour.
A light hail fell on the 9th, and
that was the sole occurrence out of
the ordinary, during the entire
month.
Records maintained for the past
"a years show that the normal tenn
perature for the month of Novem-
ber is 37.5 degrees, and that the
average for the month past is just
3.9 degrees lower than the rule.
The normal precipitation, one
year averaged with the others, for
the past "a years, shows that the
month of November has averaged
IA of an inch of moisture, so that
the past month far surpassed the
average November, moisture de-
scending from the heavens totaling
2.58 inches, or 1.84 more than the
average. As matter of fact, the
greatest total precipitation falling
in any other November, in the an
mails of the weather bureau, was
registered in 1885, when 3.78 inches
fell; and with that one exception
no other November, within the Al
years, equaled in precipitation the
past month.

New Police Judge


1t is now Judge Arch Livingstone,
the city council having appointed
the gentleman to fill the place made
vacant by the resignation of former
Judge Thomas Shone, the latter
having accepted other employment
that precluded him from giving the
time required to properly function
in a magisterial capacity. Judge
Livingstone has had quite a little
experience as a judge, having
served, in times gone by, as a JUS
tice of the peace, and the know
ledge there gained will serve him
in good stead now, and should en-
able him to balance the scales OF
justice speedily and with confidence
in the value of the weights used.

Temporary Secretary =


To temporarily fill the void
created by the resignation of T.
Grady, who resigned to accept a
more lucrative place at Chico, Cali
fornia, the Chamber of Commerce
has installed w. C. Black as Sec
retary and the latter should have
not the least trouble filling the place
to overfiowing, inasmuch as the es-
sential requirement of a capable
secretary is competency in pub
licity work, and with years ex-
perience in newspaper work there
is no good reason why Mr.. Black
should not prove his worth in the
position.
