During the past week, good progress
has been made on the new equipment
at the Oest mine in Silver City, and
operations at the mine have attracted
many visitors. which are increasing
daily. The new machinery has also
been painted in attractive colors, so
that when the new buildings are
erected, the company expects to have
one of the most complete and ser
viceable plants ever erected in the
south extension of the Comstock.
The underground force continues to
break down considerable ote, OF
good milling grade and the vein on
the l25-foot level has widened out
to over two and one-haif feet. The
ore broken is stored in the mines and
will be hoisted to the surface in a

The steel headframe, 50 feet in
height, will be in place sometime next
week, and will be put into use inn
mediately in order to replace the old
wooden frame that now rests on the
shaft timbers. Grading for the
water supply tank and for the mine

Does this Settle 1t?

The Nevada Supreme Court in an
opinion by Justice 'Ducker, has, we
hope, finally settled the very tire
some and ridiculous Pickford- Fair
banks mix-up. Mary Pickford was
granted divorce by a duly qualified
Judge, was then legally married by
properly qualified magistrate. and
has been living in the married state
for a year or more and to a man up
tree it looks as though somebody
was trying to make mountain out
of mole hill or get a lot OF cheap
advertising by keeping the matter in
the courts and newspapers.
The Supreme Court has decided, nc
doubt legally. and certainly very seq
sibly, that Attorney General Fowler
had no authority to institute the pro-
ceeding to have annulled and set aside
the decree of divorce granted Mary
Pickford from Owen Moore on March
2nd, 1920, and affirmed the order OF
District Attorney Frank P. Langan
quashing service of summons, on the
defendant, Mary Pckford'
