On the sixth day after the robbery
I felt that g. brief escape was neces-
sary. I proposed to Mr.. Stanffeld.
whom I met in the hall of the hotel,
that we go down to Working and have
a round of golf. an arrangement to
which he agreed with avidity. We
lunched at the clubhouse, and as on
previous occasions. we played a care
full and hard-fought game. It was
on the eighteenth tee when one of
those unexplained moments of in
spiration came to me which serve as
the landmarks of life. We had spoken
eJfe-tI1at grim tragedy which had in
terrupted our first game. I thought
of poor Ladbrooke lying there with
a bullet hole in his forehead, the
maid, Janet, serene and secretive,
with the strange eyes and the unruf
fed manner. The memory of these
things came back to me as I stood
there, and it seemed as though my
faculties were suddenly prompted by a
new vigor and a new insight.
Surprising it had been the maid who
had killed the prying stranger What
was her motive! Whom was she
trying to- shield? Could It be her
master? And If her masters name
was not Stanfield. might it not be
Pugsley? The two men were Of the

thing which Huntington had always
insisted upon was Pugslsy's genius

LABOR DAY
CELEBRATION HERE

All members of the Winnemucca
Volunteer Fire department, from
Chief Guy Asbury down to the new
est recruit, are busily engaged with
preparations for the two-day Labor
day celebration they will stage in
Winnemucca only a little more than
"a month from now.
That there will be thrills aplenty
is not doubted by any who are ac-
quainted with the ability of the
local firemen, and when the names
of Al Holt and Shorty" Hopkins
are mentioned it is a foregone con-
clusion that when the people of the
surrounding country come here for
the purpose of seeing good riding
that they will not be disappointed,
for these two gentlemen of the sad
die have regulations that are her
aided far and wide, and when they
are unseated from anything that is
said to be wild it is wild, and no
mistake about it.
A barbecue is another feature
that will act as a drawing card for

forgotten the barbecue held at Rec
reation park by this same organiza-
tion two years ago. This time the
roasting of the steers will be little
closer to town than it was two years
ago, and will take place at Scott
field, as will all of the bucking, steer
riding, foot races, horse races and
other contests.
Concessions will be erected on
Bridge street and at Scott field,
where those who become hungry or
thirsty may purcha Sc hot dogs, sand
wiches, and all kin DIS of cold drinks.
That it will be grand and glor-
ious two days is certainty, and if
anybody is looking for a good time,
Winnemucca will be the place to
find it.

TO FORM LADIES AUXILIARY
OF AMERICAN LEGION HERE

A movement has been started in
Winnemucca, since it has become
known that the American Legion
would hold its state convention here
this year instead of at Las Vegas,
to form Ladies' Auxiliary of that
organization. At present this de-
partment of the American Legion is
lacking in Winnemucca, and as the
ladies' auxiliary meets with the
American Legion at conventions it
was deemed necessary that such an
organization De started in this city
to help out with the entertainment
program. Mrs. E. X. Smith of Love
lock, president of the Ladies' Auxil-
larry, has been in this city for the
past few days and has been inter-
viewing the women of this city who
are eligible for membership, in hope
of interesting them sufficiently to
organize. Most encouraging results
have met her efforts and this even-
ing a meeting is to be held at the
Parish hall at which officers will be
elected and other business attended
to. There are many women in Win
nemucca eligible for membership
and all are asked to attend tonight's s
meeting. The work of the Auxiliary
consists in helping and attending to
wounded soldiers and in helping the
American Legion in its many under
takings.

McDERMITT CONTRADICTS
STORY CONCERNING ROAD

McDERMITT, July 25.-(Special
Correspondence A party of busi-
ness men from Boise, Idaho, and
other northern points who had been
in attendance at the road parley at
Alturas, Calf, as delegates, passed
through McDermitt last Monday.
They made an interesting statement
which was a decided contradiction
to published statement to the
effect that ''the ideal route to the
coast was by way of Denio, north
ern Washoe county, Alturas and the
Pitt river to Lassen highway"
Otto Jones of Boise, spokesman of
the party stated:
I'VE have made the trip from
Boise via Denio, Cedarville, Redding
etc., and have come back by way OF
Reno, Winnemucca and McDermitt
to enable US to compare the two
routes, and we find the latter ia,
ahead of the one through DEMO and
Cedarville, and we shall route al
tourists to the coast by way of Nc.

MILL At CL0UGH
MINE READY TO CO
Test Run Made Yesterday at Mill of
Charleston Hill National Mines
Company; Saturday Set
for Production Start

eliminating what has probably
been one of the most remarkable
feats in mining and mill constr1c-
tion in northern Nevada, the mill of
the Charleston Hill National Mines
Company, located three miles east of
Paradise Hill, yesterday was put in
operation for a test run after a
lapse of only a few months since
construction started. 1t was stated
by J. P. Clough, manager of the
property, who was in Winnemucca
yesterday, that the test had not been
completed when he left the mine
and for that reason he could not tell
what results would be, but felt con-
fident that when they become known
2 surprise will be in store for min
ing men of this community. AL
though the mill was started yester-
day, it will not be until Saturday
that it will be put under continuous
operation. This is not because the
mill is not complete, but because the
water supply therefor has not been
developed sufficiently to permit inn
mediate continuous operation. "A
crew has been busy putting in a
large reservoir above the mill and it
was calculated that this would be
complete by the day named.
The mill is of 80 tons daily ca
pacity, with two Schaub revolving
stamps each consisting of 16 stamps
dropping alternately. Concentrating
tables are being used for tests and
if other tests prove it possible cyan
iding of the ore will also take place
on the property. If not, concen-
trates will be shipped.
The opening statement of this
story that the starting Of the mill
at this time constitutes a remark
able feat is justified by recent
visit of this writer to the mine
workings, following a similar visit
earlier in the spring, the interval
showing an almost unbelievable
amount of work had been accom-
plished. The starting of the mill
was the goal aimed for, but first
pipe lines had to be constructed,
bunkhouses, cookhouse and other
necessary buildings about a mining
camp had to be built. Mr.. Clough
came in from Washington. only a
few months ago with a loyal crew
of men working upon "a partial part
nership arrangement. The work is
done and the mill running, evidence
conclusive that credit is due where
credit belongs.
While a visit of the several mine
tunnels was not made, several speci-
mems of ore were examined, brought
in fresh by the miners, and if large
quantities of similar ore are avail
able, and Mr.. Clough assured that
such was the case, Humboldt county
is going to be possessed of mine
of great Importance.

CAMPBELLS REMOVING TO
LOS ANGELES TO RESIDE

Attorney and Mrs. L. G. Campbell
and their son "Mugs" will leave
next Sunday for Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, to make their home, where
Mr.. Campbell will open law offices
under the firm name of Campbell &
Robins, thus maintaining his asso-
citation with C. E. Robins of this
city and enlarging their joint scope
of activity. For this reason it may
not be said that the Campbells will
have to forego the pleasures conse-
quent to social intercourse with a
large number of friends secured
through years of residence in this
city, because it is probable that busi-
ness necessities will require their
presence here at more or less fire.
quent intervals.
The Campbells have long been
outstanding figures in the COM
munity life of Winnemucca and the
state of Nevada, Mr.. Campbell hav-
ing been honored with high offices
in state Masonry, recognized by po-
litical preferment, and prominent in
law circles. He has ever taken a
keen interest in civic matters, being
a member of the board of school
trustees, president of the local Red
Cross chapter, and during the war
being identified with the national
council of defense, wherein he rem
dered yoeman service. 1t was dur
ing 1920, when Republican politics
were highly successful in this coun-
ty, that Mr.. Campbell acted as chair
man of the Republican county CEN
tral committee. Also, during that
year he was a delegate from this
state to the electoral college which
had the honor to name Warren G..
Harding as President of the United
States. Mr.. Campbell has been SINH
larly recognized as sterling citizen
in countless other /. tances.
Mrs. Campbell has also taken her
place in this community, being
an officer and prominently identified
with Civic Club activities. Her
talent as a pianist and vocalist has
caused frequent demand for her
services, always gladly given, at
public functions of all sorts, includ-
ing particularly school activities and
benefit theatricals.

BUCKSKIN MINE AND MILL
WORK SLOWED BY ROADS

A recent visit to the mining prop
erty Familiarity known hereabouts as
the Buckskin National, formerly be-
longing to John Bell and associates,
but now under a working arrange
ment with the California National
Gold Mines Company, close cor
poration understood to be composed
of San Francicso capitalists dis
closed the fact that development
work there has not been going ahead
as fast as planned by the manage
ment, due almost entirely to great
freighting difficulties and bad roads.
The mine is located on Buckskin
mountain, % miles east Of Paradise
Valley, necessitating freighting over
Hinckey summit, a mountainous
road the pitch of which defies all
but the most powerful of motor
vehicles. For instance, the trip to
Paradise Valley, a distance of 40
miles, was accomplished in a little
less than two hours Of ordinary driv-
ing, while the next 20 miles over
the summit, down into valley and
up again to an elevation of nearly
5000 feet, required five hours, due
partially, however, to the inability
of light car to make the grade
and the impossibility of passing on
the narrow mountain grade.
At the mine it was learned from
H. w. Rich, in charge of operations,
that about 25 men have been en-
ployed on mine and mill work, that
two-compartmen shaft had been
sunk distance of $50 feet and a
tunnel driven $50 feet more. Work
in the shaft is to be continued as
long as such sinking continues to be
in ore, fairly rich in nature and
about $3.50 in gold and silver.
Frame work for the 75 to 100 ton
mill was about completed two weeks
ago, two stamps were in place and
vat under construction, together
with other necessary work. Mr..
Rich said that the stamps were to
be thrown out, however, and rod
mills substituted. He expected the
mill to be ready for operation about
August 15, nearly a monthly later
than planned this spring. Oil flo
tation is to be the method for ex-
tracing values. The ore showings,
Mr.. Rich said. were ample to justify
the work under way.

EVERYTHING READY
FOR LEG|0NA|REs
Captain Alvin Owsley, National Le-
eion Commander, to Take Part
in Two-Day Convention to
Be Held in This City

A few minor changes were made
in the American Legion convention
program at a meeting of the enter
tainment committee held last Tues
day evening. The public speaking
which was to have taken place Tues
day afternoon has been changed to
Monday afternoon on account of the
inability of Col. Alvin Owsley, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, to be here for more than
one day, instead Of the contem-
plated two, and the convention ses-
sions will be held on Tuesday after
noon, instead OF Monday as orig
inally planned. The program sched-
ule, except for these two changes,
will be followed throughout as
printed in these columns heretofore,
with a public dance on Tuesday
night to which everyone is invited.
1t is expected that about 45 Off
cial delegates will be present, with
an additional 80 or more coming
here from the various state posts to
take part in making it a great sue
cess. Representatives from Love
lock, Reno, Carson City and Fallon
are expected to begin arriving in
this city Sunday afternoon by auto.
Delegates from Eiko are expected
to come by train with Col. Owsley,
arriving here Sunday evening also.
Although Commander Duane Bush
of the local post is at the present
time in San Francisco, he expects
to return in time for the convention
and has appointed to serve with him
self as delegates of this post Tiffany
Poulin, Chas. Guthrie and L. o.
Hawkins.

Squires Here
c. p. Squires, owner of the
Squires grocery in this city, arrived
yesterday from Reno, where he visit
ed his family. He has for the last
seven months been identified with
his brother in business at Cleveland,
Ohio, putting his store here under
the management of B. F. Luce. Mr..
Squires will be here several days
before leaving for Cleveland, his
plans being somewhat unsettled at
the present time. He remarks of
the vast difference in business con-
ditions in the east and in the west,
saying that eastern cities are enjoy
ing unprecedented prosperity at the
present time, which he thought had
had time to react to the distinct bet
terment of conditions in the west.
