Barr announces
Himself for Council

Andy c. Barr in this weeks issue
of the White Pine News makes for
NAL announcement of his candidacy
for councilman from the Third ward
in the approaching city election. Mr..
Barr is highly esteemed as a consei-
entious citizen and one who has ever
fought and labored for the welfare
of Ely. His ward Is that of Central
Ely and the eastern part of Ely and
the opposition of himself and follow
ers to the present administration has
its genesis in the excayating of an
open ditch instead of installing a
storm W in a portion of Central
Ely. II is believed not unlikely that
the fate of the two city tickets will
hinge on the Central Ely result.
In event of his election Mr.. Barr
promises a vigorous and progressive
policy so far as his part of the next
administration may be concerned.

Artistic Car Flnisher
Opens at Plaza Garage

Walter w. Summers, an artistic
automobile painter, polisher and fin
isher. has taken charge of and re-
opened the Plaza garage repair room,
where he will conduct a business of
washing, painting and polishing cars
and also will polish furniture. He
has had an extensive training in the
polishing and finishing business and
also has had many years of prca.
teal experience.
Mr.. Summers has specialized on
piano, furniture and automobile pol
ishing, following that vocation be-
fore coming here at Portland and
more recently at Salt Lake. He ha.
run finishing rooms for years. The
value OF this class of work, he ex-
plains, depends entirely upon it's
foundation. The right material must
be used as the basis for any finish
that is to be put on a car or other
article to be finished, as otherwise
the latter may be ever so good itself
and not stand up. Among other re-
quisites are regulation of the tenn
perature of a room where cars are
painted and finished, for this must
be just right. The Plaza affords am
pie room and an ideal place for this
work, he says.
Mr.. Summers is a conscientious
and Industrious man and has come
to Ely to remain.

CATTLE DOING FINE ON
WHITE SAGE PASTURE

Cattle that have been turned out
in the last two or three weeks, after
a winters feeding, so far as known
are doing fine. They are grazing
on white sage, which is better fee
during its season than alfalfa.
Driving through the valleys they
may be seen by the roadsides and
off on the benches. where the brush
is short and white sage is the pre-.
yailing vegetation, feeding content
eddy. This applies mostly to those
which had plenty OF hay during the
long period when there was ne
other feed, for all cattle in this part
Of the country had to be fed hay
during that time or starye. 1t was
not every cattle owner. especially the
smaller ones, who had hay to last
until the snow was gone but most OF
the larger ones were we'll fixed in
this respect.
White sage is not eaten by stock
until after it is frost-nipped. Then
they start in on it gradually and cat
tie go after it stronger as the freez.

their taste. The long-lying blanket
OF snow this winter had a highly
beneficial effect in the way of pre-
serving it for them and never was
there a time when cattle seemed tn
thrive on Il as now.
Young grass started up rapidly
during the last week or ten days.

taste and when they get a taste of It
they refuse to eat other things and

FINE BUNCH OF GRAIN
FED YEARL|NG BEEVES

Some of the choicest beef ever
sold in this part of Nevada is soon to
be marketed by Phil Aljets, foreman
of Arthur Smiths Georgetown ranch.
1t consists of forty-five head of reg
istered Hereford yearling steers that
are being grain fed.
All of these were range calves last
year and besides being at a disad-
vantage in size for that reason were
as wild as deer. Since they have
been in the feed yard they have be-
come the most docile OF pets and
will follow a stranger Eel the yard
to be petted.
They will average at this time
about $50 pounds and a few will go
as high as $50 pounds. Naturally
they will bring a better price than
probably any other cattle sold this
season.
In addition Mr.. Aljets has a bunch
of dry cows that have been fattened
in another yard on hay and their
condition is excellent. OF their kind
they will be hard to beat.
The ranch raises thoroughbred
Berkshire hogs on a good scale and
has a number of registered sows that
are soon to farrow. No picture of a
hog has better marks of the breed
than these in life.

LEAD LEASES IN EGAN
RANGE ARE IN DEMAND

The advanced price of lead is
stimulating intense interest in the
lead mines and prospects of the
Egan range, there being several a.
from twenty to thirty miles north of
Ely.
One of those in which there is IN
usual interest is the Thomas Mahan
property. Mahan died a few months
ago and his widow in the east is
settling the estate. George Fisher
owns a quarter interest in the min
ing property and there is said to be
a third owner in Nevada.
Several successful ieasers in this
vicinity are known to be waiting for
the estate to be settled and have
their applications in for blocks of
ground on this property. Its lead
content. is high and is far above the
predominating value. Quite a lot
of work was done there during Ma
hans life and a fine showing has
been developed. The ore is in
lenses of varying width from a few
inches to several feet.
A suitcase on the Bunker Hill, in
Dry canyon, a few miles north of
the Mahan group, has been let by
William A. Watson. This is a de-
veloped property with a fine showing
and people out that way say 1t will
soon be a shipper.
