RATES ON COAL
URGED REDUCED

Reductions in coal rates to sew
eral Nevada and northern California
points are recommended in a re-
port made by special examiner
of the interstate commerce commits
sion in the case entitled "Western
Coal Rates." copy of which has
been received by E. H. Walker,
head of the traffic department of
the Reno Chamber of Commerce.
The voluminous report makes rec
concentrations for various adjust
ments in coal rates throughout the
western country and these include
Susanville, CAL, Nina. New, and in
termediate points. Reductions to
Tonopah, Goldfeld and Eureka,
New, are also recommended in the
report. Specific amounts of the re-
ductions are not cited, except in a
few cases, one of which is the rate
to Eureka, which, as shown by the
report is $10.35 per ton from Utah
and Wyoming fields, plus forty
cents per ton transfer charge at
Palisade. This rate, the examiner
finds, should be reduced so as not
to exceed So per ton, including the
transfer charge. A reduction in
rates on the Los Angeles and Salt
Lake route in Nevada is also recon-
mended.-Reno Gazette.

Will be the last under the old
scheme of publishing three times q
week, and the next issue of This
paper will be published one week
from today. and once each week
thereafter, on Thursdays.
After hearing the comment of
people about town and from the
country, the publisher of this news
paper is more and more convinced
that the weekly scheme of publica-
ton will be a good thing all around
1t will of course take some time to
work out plans now in mind and
the weekly edition probably will not
be up to the mark set for it for
several weeks, but we ask that Won
watch for contemplated improve
ments in the hope that you will be
pleasurably surprised. The new
paper will be digger and better. y

EUREKA SHIPPING
ARSENIC TONNAGE

Many years ago when the Eureka
imelters were running full blast. ar
senic was a great detriment in the
clean smelling Of the ores that were
brought to these furnaces. In con-
sequence the old "bosses" in the
bottom of the Stag pots were spilled
over the dumps. In recent years.
and especially at this time the use
Of arsenic as an insecticide in spray
ng fruit trees and various other
crops. and more especially in spray
ng the cotton crops of the south to
lessen the boil weevil scourge, has
demanded an enormous increase in
the production of white arsenic or
IS various chemical combinations.
The Stag dumps at Eureka are now
large source of revenue to the
former mining companies that pro-
iuced them. Every day there is
aow being shipped from here so
tons of the speiss to Utah plants
hat are refining this product and
recovering all of the arsenic, in ad-
iition to gold, silver, and lead con-
.ents also contained in the speiss.
Arsenic is now bringing 1914 cents
per pound in large quantities de-
ivered on the Atlantic seaports,
With small quantities selling at a
igure of 15 cents or more per
pound.
The speiss shipped from Eureka
,verages about 40 per cent arsenic.
md there are thousands of tons of
his material available in to old Stag
Jumps. The Richmond-Eureka Min
ng Company is now sending out 60
ons daily, of which S5 tons come
rom the old Eureka Consolidated
Jumps and 25 tons from the Rich
nond dumps.
Harry Father, who has charge of
he work of delivering this material
o the railroad company, now has

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
TREE PLEASING EVENT

Another event of utmost import
ance to the civic welfare of this
city was successfully concluded by
Vernon Robins Post, American Le-
gion. when last Sunday that organi-
zation acted as Santa Claus to the
children of Winnemucca estimated
to number $50, each one being the
recipient of valuable present given
in the Yuletide spirit. In this the
Legion was generously assisted by
citizens generally and business men.
and were enabled to surround the
mammoth Christmas tree with great
numbers of presents. The oc-
casion also permitted of the rendi-
ton of an appropriate Christmas
program. The hope has been ex-
pressed that the Legion men may
see fit to duplicate the effort in sue
ceeding years.

DEN|SON BILL IS
PENDING IN SENATE
Nevada and West Should Wake Up
and Defeat This Measure, Which
Would Practically Kill the
Mining Industry

According to advices received in
this city, the Denison bill, which
passed the House last summer, and
over which discussion and protest
was aroused in the west and in Ne
vada, is now in the Senate inter-
state commerce committee, and that
hearings in the mater were sched-
uled to be concluded today by sub
committee. This no doubt means
that the measure known as the Ma
tional Blue Sky bill will soon be re-
ported out to the senate for action,
and steps already taken in this and
other states towards its defeat,
should be supplemented at this time
| by further strenuous efforts to that
end.
The bill while evidently designed
to do away with fraudulent stock
transactions and the sale of ques-
| tionable securities, makes little or
no discrimination in its provisions
and is so drastic, that the sum and
substance of the results if enacted
into law, will be to strangle legiti-
mate mining and industrial enter
prise, except those enumerated, ac-
cording to those who have made a
close study of its extractions. In
stead of accomplishing what it was
evidently designed to do the bill in
its import is exactly the opposite.
and it has little to commend it as a
workable, practicable proposition.
1t is said that none of the stock
exchanges of the country were con-
suited by the originators. of the bill,
and that the bill carries exemptions
for organized exchanges where
transactions have occurred during
each of the preceding 20 years in
the purchase and sale of govern
ment bonds. Under this clause the
New York Stock Exchange and
other older exchanges are exempted,
but the New York Curb and others
are not, it is claimed, no matter

the integrity of its members and en-
tire organization. Brokers and pro-
moters of any legitimate enterprise
should be permitted to list and mar
ket their securities anywhere and at
any time. If not. industrial de-
velopment ceases, and a monopoly is
apparently at once created in the
stock exchange field. If this bill
becomes a law, it is not seen how
any Nevada enterprise or mining
company can list its stocks either
on the San Francisco exchange, New
York Curb, or other exchanges with
out becoming at once liable to the
penalties of the act What will natu-
rally become of the Nevada min
ing industry under these conditions
Nevada and the entire west should
wake up to the evil import of this
bill, and vigorously oppose its pass
age.

BIG STAGE PRODUCTION TO
PLAY HERE NEXT MONTH

"The Bat," one of the greatest
successes brought out on the "legiti-
mate" stage during recent years in
New York. which enjoyed a phenom-
email run in that city and is now be-
ing played by many companies in
this and foreign countries with
great financial return to the pro-
ducers, is to be played in Winnie
mucca as one of the three stops
to be made between Denver and
San Francisco. This fact is brought
out by the January programs ar
ranged by Manager Harry Oastler
of local amusement fame, which
program is now being printed in
this office and shows that "The
Bat" will be the attraction extraor-
dinary at the Nixon on the night
of Monday, January 15 This COM
pany is en- route to San Francisco
for an engagement at the Curran
theatre and only stops here to break
up the long journey to the coast.
The only cities in which this COM
pany will play are Denver, Salt
Lake City, Winnemucca, Reno and
San Francisco. showing that we here
are right in high-class company,
though the population of this city
may not exactly compare with the
cities named.
Other unusual attractions brought
out by the program are headed by
when Knighthood Was in Flower"
the magnificent production about
which San Francisco newspapers
have been making such a fuss and
which is to be shown here at the
American on the nights of Friday
and Saturday, January 25 and 26.
Then, also, there are to be Gloria
Swanson and Rodolph Valentino in
Beyond the Rocks" picture that
has received much comment, which

being a Knockout, on the 18th and

22nd; and Jackie Coogan in "Oliver
Twist" on January 81 and Febru-

regular attractions, of which "The
Bachelor Daddy" is one, the pro-
gram lists some pictures that nc

which will fill the requirements of
people with various tastes as to
what pictures should be, calculated
to satisfy the blood-thirsty young
ster, the romantic miss and swain.

ture, the women who like question
plays, and the man who prefers

TWO C0UNC|LMEN
MAY QUIT OFFICE
Practically Certain That Councilman n
w. L. Akin Will Resign to Ac-
cept City Position; Sites
Elected to Legislature

Two vacancies in the city council
of this city will in all probability
occur within the near future, these
to be Couneilmen w. l.. Akin of
the second ward and E. p. Sites
of the first ward, which, if they oc-
cur will leave only Mayor T. A.
Brandon and Councilman C. p.
Hoskins of the third ward as rep
resentative of the council elected a
year ago last May. The next city
election will occur here during the
coming month of May.
1t is practically certain that
Councilman Akin will resign at the
city council meeting to be held
next Tuesday night, January 2, to
accept the superintendency of strets,
alleys and public works, as well as
fire warden and a few other titles
held by the late Joe Rougon. An
parently there is no opposition to
the appointment of Councilman
Akin to that post. he being a man
well versed in the mechanical and
other requirements necessary. He
has stated that he is willing to ac-
cept the place and il is understood
that the balance of the members
are in favor of appointing him to
it. Prominently mentioned as a pos
sible successor to Mr.. Akin on the
council is Duane Bush, well
known young man, prominent in
American Legion, Red Cross and
other circles, he having for several
years, since he returned from war.
been a prominent figure in most
functions for civic betterment. Mr..
Bush is also prominent in lodge
circles. being worthy master of
Winnemucca lodge No. 10, F. g. A.
Masons. II is reliably stated that
Mayor Brandon, who holds the ap-
pointing power, favors Bush, and
that the councilmen, who ratify the
mayors appointments to make them
legal, have voiced no disapproval
Of the appointing of Bush.
1t may be. also, that Council
man E. p. Sites will resign at the
coming meeting, for the reason
that he was elected as a member
of the state assembly at the re-
cent election and will soon have to
take the oath of office in that
capacity and enter upon his new
duties at Carson City when the leg.
'siature convenes next month. Moth
ling has definitely been said con
cerning his resignation, but it is
presumed that in view of a Nevada
law that no man can hold two elee-
tive offices that he must take the
action indicated. His possible sue
cessor on the city council has not
been discussed, and whether the
mayor has any person in mind for
the place, in view of the fact that
Mr.. Sites has made no mention of
resigning, is not known.
