Bartlett will leave this evening for
Tonopah to complete funeral ar.
rangements.
Mason B. Bartlett was born in
Kentucky, on the old Bartlett to.
bacco plantation in Henry county
October 2, 1884. He was almost
an argonaut of Nevada, having
crossed the plains in the early
fifties. He first settled on the Com
stock, and there is hardly a mining
camp in Nevada where he had not
been a resident.
From the Comstock he went to
Austin in 1866, where he married
Berbara Fleischman. He later went
to White Pine county, during the
mining excitement at Hamilton and
from White Pine went to Eureka
where he engaged in the lumber
business. He was a carpenter by
trade, mad when Tonopah was dis
covered in 1900 he went to that
camp. Mrs. Bartlett died about two
years ago.

banquet which is to be served at
6 o'clock Tuesday night at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms at a
cost of $3.50 per plate. Apparently
something very nice in the line of

stockmen, being noted as good
eaters, will more than appreciate.
Details of the entertainment are

FROM CAPITAL OPERATION

Word received in this city today
by w. L. Wilkinson is to the effect
that Mrs. w. M. Wilkinson has been
pronounced out of danger follow
ing a capital operation performed
in Reno ten days ago. For a time
grave fears were entertained con-
corning the outcome of her illness
and the operation, being of an ex-
tremely dangerous character, did
not result reassuringly until the
present time. 1t is expected tha,
the patient will be enabled to leave
the hospital within another ten days.
Mrs. Wilkinson is the wife of w.
M. Wilkinson, former garage man
of this city, and consequently a
daughter-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. l.. Wilkinson of this city. Be-
fore marriage she was Miss Bertha
Pinson, of the Pinson family Of

A drive to secure enough menu

started today, following a decision
reached at meeting of the board
of directors, held last night and at
tended by T. A. Brandon, M. Rein

1t was stated today that it is not
the intention of the local organiza-
tion to stage an intensive drive for
members such as has been general
in past years, but the effort will be
confined to securing enough men,
bership renewals to keep the organi-
zation in good standing at national
headquarters. 1t is felt by the di-
rectors that because of the call
made for Japanese relief funds the
public generally should not be ap-
pealed to except insofar as indi-
vldual citizens may care to sub

see the Red Cross perpetuated.
1t is the plan of the directors to
personally call upon present MEM

to be carried on in Pershing county
and also in principle communities of
this county, such as Paradise, Nc

MAJOR GODDARD GREATLY
IMPROVED AT HOSPITAL

A story which gained circulation
to the effect that A. G. Goddard
well known here as Major" God

paralysis, is declared by hospital
authorities today as being a result
Of misinformation. The Major suf-
fered no strokes and is confined to
the hospital by illness brought about
by a rundown condition and old
age. He is able to sit up in a
rocking chair today and will probab-
iy be able to leave the hospital
within another week, it is said at

MINING ACTIVITY
INCREASING HERE
Reports From All Directions in the

Renewed Determination to
Establish Producers

Greater mining activity is ap

than has been the case for many
years, and every indication is that
even greater activity will be notice.

spring, when it is expected thai
such work will reach boom proper.
tions. This view is backed up by
numerous mining men hereabouts
who are in close touch with the stu
alton.
To the north of this city frequent
mention is made of mining activity
including the mill production at the
Buckskin National. At the camp
of National itself work is progress
ing steadily with promise of early
results. Work at the Clough mine
at Paradise Hill is going ahead and
while returns on concentrate ship
ments made have not been made
public the management nevertheless
is optimistic in its mine reports.
Various other smaller mining activi-
ties are noticeable in the northern
country, any number of which may
turn out for the good of the country.
East of this city is the Midas dis
trict, where a boom may develop
at any time because of recent very
satisfactory developments and the
entrance of monied men who will
further develop the camp. At Col
conda work is progressing at the
Crown mines, where, it is said, a
quarter of million dollars has re-
Gently been expended in proving up
the ground. If final work there
shows mill construction justified it
is said that plant Of at least 500
tons daily capacity will be installed.
Other Golconda properties are
bound to benefit by the interest now
being manifested in the Midas dis
trict, Golconda being the railroad
point OF that camp.
West of this city along the Wes-
sernsPacific, and particularly in the
Pronto district where the Myra Di-
vide Company is going ahead with
extensive development work, and in
the Jackson Mountain, Jungo and
Sulpher districts, great activity on
small scale is apparent. Gerlach
is booming, but of course this city
is but slightly benefited thereby
owing to the location of that town.
Also west of this city, Mill City is
taking on renewed life, with fre-
quent shipments OF ore from the
Dun Glen section. Unionville is
shipping bullion and ore from Mill
City, and frequent report is that the
big tungston plant near Mill City
is to start up.
South, good reports are received
from the Kennedy district, while
big work is bing accomplished at the
Goldbanks quicksilver property.
Hooper Sheldon is getting ready to
get further action on his Gem Five

DAIRY BARN DANCE
A GREAT SUCCESS
Mammoth New Hirzel Structure Fit.
tingly Dedicated by Crowd of
Merrymakers Last Night;
Plant a Revelation

Winnemucca went on record as
unqualifiedly endorsing barn dances
last night, an enormous crowd from
this city accepting the hospitality
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Hirzel at their
dairy ranch five miles west. Not
for long time has such a large
crowd turned out and joy was un-
restrained until the early morning
hours. The crowd was probably
augmented by many non-dancers
who attended the function to view
for themselves the accomplishments
of the Hirzels in providing this city
with a wonderful dairying plant,
and incidentally partaking of the
lunch served during the evening.
The barn dance was given to cele-
brate the completion of a monster
dairy barn, and . to say that the
visiters were pleasantly surprised
with the magnitude and character
OF the building is to put it mildly.
They saw, upon arrival, a large
structure 35 100 feet with an
exceedingly high roof. On the
second floor, where the dance was
held. it is probably forty feet from
the floor to the ceiling, this to pro-
vide ample space for the storage
Of hay, being large enough to hold
perhaps 100 tons of chopped hay
which is to be fed to the milk cows.
This loft is one big room and an
ideal place for dancing, only a
small portion of it being partitioned
off for grain bins.
The lower floor of the building
constitutes a model of dairy barn
construction. 1t has been made
for the accommodation of So cows
and has solid concrete floor prop
erly trenched for draining purposes.
Even the feeding troughs are of
concrete so that at regular intervals
water may be turned into the build
ing and promptly flushed out, pro-
viding the utmost in cleanliness with
a minimum of labor. At the pres
ent time two-unit DeLaval milking
machines are being installed.
The barn is completely equipped
with electricity, running water and
sewer system, the electricity being
provided by a generating plant on
the premises. Near the barn a
windmill, well and tankhouse have
been put in place which assure a
constant supply of water Besides
lighting the building, the electricity
is also necessary to operate the
milking machines.
The entire Hirzel Dairy equip
ment was designed to keep cows
healthy and producing clean and
sanitary milk. Ventilation and sun
light for the barn have been pro-
vided on scientific principle
worked out by the best dairying
authorities.
A strange but nevertheless true
fact is that the dairying barn, with
its running water, sewer system and
electricity is more modern than the
average farm home.
The Hirzels were recipients last
night OF profuse congratulations for
having provided such an elaborate
plant for this city.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-12-15

ton hereabouts is very promising
at the present time. One of the
best indications OF this is the FREE
quent shipment of small lots of ore
from various properties. Mining
men say that if the plan of L. l..
Sewers to start milling at the chemi-
cal plant in this city is successful a
still greater increase in mining will
promptly result. Mr.. Sewers as
sures this writer that the plant is
going through and will soon be in
operation, regardless of any OBJ
stacles which may present them
selves.
Most of the work above men,
toned has been referred to hereto
fore in these columns in detail, but
this week further first-hand infor-
nation has become available. Among
mining men who have visited this
city during the week was Peter
Organ of Mill City, county commits
sioner of Pershing county. He re-
ported mining activity looking up in
all parts of his district. A car
load shipment of $50 ore from the
Chafey Black Hole mine was ship
ped by Mr.. Organ few days ago to
Kennel, Calf, and H. C. Burmei-
ster also shipped carload of lead
ore from the Flueger mine. At the
Usonia mine at Natchez Pass. 12
miles east of Mill City, in the Dun
Glen mountains, Seattle men have
15-stamp mill on the ground and
one small unit now operating. A
bullion shipment was made by the
Universal Silver corporation from
unionville a few days ago, follow
ing several other bullion shipments.
and carload of ore has also come
out of Unionville and was shipped
from Mill City. Mr.. Organ also
mentioned the report that the tung-
stem plant is soon to be started.
