ORE SHIPMENT FROM
JUNCO PRODICAL MINE

Snowfall prevented the shipment
of full carload of gold-silver-lead
ore from the Prodigal mine, on the
south slope of the jackson noun
tain range near Jungo, but a small
carload was sent forward to Ken
nett, California, for smelling, ac-
cording to w. M. Anderson, owner
of the mine, who was here Satur-
day en- route to Los Angeles, where
ne will spend the winter. The ore
shipped came from the Weeter
lease on the property and will prob
ably have an average value of $45
per ton, according to Anderson.
At the present time there are
two sets of leasers working on the
property, with a deal in course of
negotiation which will probably re-
suit in one more leaser going on
the ground. One difficulty in get
ting ore to the railroad for ship
ment has been in the lack of a good
road to the mine and this mas now
been overcome by the completion
of such construction. The new road
is said to be of such character that
that a loaded five-ton truck may
easily make the trip to the railroad.
Mr.. Anderson said that upon his
return in the spring he expects to
commence steady shipment Of ore.
He expressed hope that the Sewers
plan of putting mill in operation
in this city may become successful.

PLANS LAID FOR
ST0CKMEN' 5 MEET
Chamber of Commerce Has Enter
tainment Features in Hand and
the Civic Club L. to serve
Dinner to Visitors

Plans are rapidly being rounded
to shape for the entertainment of
visiting stockmen who will come
here one week from today to at
tend the annual meeting of the
Nevada Livestock Association, to be
in session December 18 and 10,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week. The entertainment commit
tee Of the Humboldt County Cham
Der of Commerce has these plans in
charge and is composed of Messrs.
e. n. Gilman, DIR. A. A. Wendell
and Councilman E. A. Smith. An
executive session was held in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms last
night, at which the committeemen
discussed various phases Of the part
to be played in the occasion by the
chamber. Details of the plans so
made will probably be ready for
publication within few days.
Among other things accomplished
last night was the completion of ar
rangements with the Winnemucca
Civic Club for the serving of ban
quet to the visiting stockmen on the
night of the 18th. Various COM
mittee chairmen of the Civic Club
are to have charge of this dinner,
with a different chairman for every
course to be served, from soup to
dessert.
The annual meeting of the live
stock men is attracting a great deal
of attention in a statewide sense
and Winnemucca may arise some
morning to find the town flooded
with people and our much heralded
hotel accommodations entirely in
adequate to care for the crowd.
Already some misgivings on that
score have been expressed.
Elko will be among the communi-
ties which will be well represented
here, because it has been announced
that that city intends going after
the next livestock convention. The
Free Press says:
1t is understood that at the next
meeting of the Lions club at their
regular luncheon, plans will be
made to 60 after the next annual
meeting of the Nevada Land &
Livestock association and an invita-
ton will be given to the stockmen
to hold their annual convention in
Elko, the home of the stockmen.
This year the convention will be
held in Winnemucca, and it is under
stood that invitations will be give,
the stockmen by both Minden and
Fallon to hold next years conven-
tion in their cities.
Elko county is the center and is
the stronghold Of the stock industry
and the majority of members of
this association are residents of this
county, and it is due them to hold
their convention at the most conven-
lent place. The next meeting will
be one of the most important meet
ings in the state, for 1924, owing to
the fact that the matters to be
brought up will bring many national
figures to the meeting, officials

SHOW GIRL KILLED
IN AUTO sMAsH-UP
Wife of toby" Who Played Here
in Stock Company Last Two
Summers and Musician
Killed in Washington

Mrs. Florence Trip, who became
the bride of Billy Trip in Elko
early in September, when the Met
ropolitan Players visited that city,
and Bert Schweinfater, one of three
brothers who accompanied the show
as musicians, were killed November
21 in an automobile accident at the
Burnt Greek hill, on the Pacific
highway, half mile north of Van
couver, according to newspaper
clippings received by John Hunter,
manager of the Bradley theatre at
Elko, according to the Independent.
Mrs. Trip will be remembered by
Winnemuccans as the slight girl who
was seen about the streets with
Tripp Immediately after their mar
riage in Elko, the company having
played in the Nixon opera house
for week following the Elko en-
gagement. To better remember her
it may be called to mind that Trip
was the very small male member of
the company who usually played
boy parts and was known as
"Toby." He sold prize packages to
people in the audience during the
show intermissions.
According to the clippings, Andie
Schweinfuter, Miss Eloise Harvey
Ben Clayman, Jack Schweinfuter
and Billy Trip, the dead woman's
husband, were all badly injured.
The company members were trav-
cling in a Packard automobile. They
were not driving fast, but for some
unknown reason the car failed to
make a sharp turn and plunged
through the guard rail bordering
the road.
The occupants of the car who
were killed were thrown clear Of the
machine, their death resulting from
the car crushing them as it rolled
over.
The wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
Billy Trip was held on the stage at
the Bradley opera house in Elko
during the course Of the troupe's
stay in that city, and attracted con-
siderable attention there. The bride
was an attractive girl and the
groom seemed to be a very young
man to be assuming the response
bilities of married life.
Mrs. Tripp, whose home was in
Raleigh, North Carolina, is reported
to be the daughter of judge.

IT'S WALK-OUT PROOF,
is ROBERTS GRUMPY

A substantial reward may be Of
fered to anyone who willingly leaves
the American theatre tonight during
the showing of William de Miles
latest Paramount picture, Grumpy"
which is a walk-out-proof produc-
tion. Theodore Roberts is in the
title role, with May MeAvoy and
Conrad Nagel also featured. The
story is a melodramatic comedy and
affords Mr.. Roberts his greatest
characterization. Grumpy" is a
perturbation of the popular stage
play of the same name. The story
is most interesting and complicated,
and diamond robbery mystery is
delightfully."- developed. The minor
roles are filled by prominent screen
players, among them being Casson
Ferguson, Bertram Johns, Charles
Ogle, Robert Bolder, Charles French
and Bernice Frank.

DESCRIPTIVE BOOK
FOR THIS COUNTY
To Be Issued by the Chamber of
Commerce. for Free Distribu-
ton and Will Tell of Re-
sources of County

Winnemucca and Humboldt coun-
ty are to be properly represented
to outsiders who write here for in
formation with the view to locating
here if favorably impressed, for
plans are now nearing completion
for the printing Of a descriptive
booklet concerning this county and
its industries, which will be enclosed
in all Chamber of Commercs letters
written and also be sent to parties
requesting information.
This work is in the hands Of E.
M. Bosch, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, and he is now ar
ranging for competent assistance in
furthering the work. County Farm
Bureau Agent Joe Wilson will write
concerning farming possibilities and
realities within the county and it is
probable that adequate illustrations
will be arranged for. Stockraising
and mining are also to be covered
by the booklet, and a general story
written describing life and prospects
as they exist here. Secretary Bosch
also intimates that he may not treat
kindly some Of the wildcat ideas
and enterprises which at times are
brought forward and which react
unfavorably to the community rath-
er than helping in its growth.
Such a booklet has long been
needed here and it may be that ar
rangements will be made for indi-
viduals to order quantities for gen.
eral use, insuring a large initial
press run and providing a good
method Of disseminating informa-
ton. w
1t will probably require several
months to complete the compilation
of the booklet and have it printed.

ROAD SURVEY COMPLETED
TO LINE AT M'DERMITT

With the completion of the road
survey by Nevada highway authori-
ties to the Oregon state line at Nc
Dermitt, and construction nearly
completed for half the distance,
McDermitt residents are recalling
the promise of the Oregon governor
and road officials delivered at a
road meeting held a year ago at
Jordan Valley, that Oregon would
have its portion of the road COM
pleted long before Nevada could.
In effect the Oregon governor said
"Come on, Nevada, build your road
to McDermitt and we'll be there
waiting with ours" At that time
prospects were not very good for q
made road to McDermitt and this
probably gave the Oregonians a
basis for their boast, but the situa-
ton is changed now and Nevada
will, in all likelihood, have COM
pleted its portion of the road be-
fore 1925 in over.
Humboldt county may come in
for considerable road construction
during 1924, plans and specifica-
tions being ready for II miles of
construction to Golconda and SINH
lar specifications in course of prep
aration for the McDermitt road
which could with ease be completed
+, in time for 1924 construction. With
an apparent sentiment existing in
congress to cut down the public
land states road funds, not few
Humboldt county residents are urg-
ing that steps be taken which will
assure early construction of the
roads so that this county may par
ticipate further in government roa6
funds and secure roads by paying
the SO in every 800 expended
therefor.

Nevada's Only Broadcaster--

The Silver State has been asked
to request Winnemucca radio lis
teners-in to tune down to 226 me-
ters next Thursday night, between
Z and o'clock to listen for the
radio broadcast of KFFR, the sta
tion of Jim Kirk at Sparks. The
Thanksgiving program of the Sparks
station was heard in this city and
it is the desire of the broadcaster
to receive further reports of re-
ception. 1t is probable that Spark
will not come in here good until
1870, when the amateurs "quit the
air." but thereafter it should come
in with good modulation. KFFR is
Nevada's only radio broadcasting
station, of 10 watts power and OPP
Grating on 226 meters. 1t is "on
the air" every other Thursday even
ing only between the hours of z
and o'clock. Kirk, the owner, is
the author of radio articles appear

High Grade Story Exaggerated-

A story which has recently been
going the rounds in mining circles
hereabouts that more of the fabu-
lously rich ore found in the famous
National district had been found in
the Buckskin National, now being
operated by the California National
Gold Mines Company, is branded as
slightly exaggerated by County
Commissioner w. ]. Bell, who is one
Of the principal owners Of the prop
erty. Mr.. Bell admitted that con-
siderable quantity of $4,000 ore had
been sacked, but stated that the
Buckskin shaft had not yet been
sunk to the sulphide zone wherein
the rich National ore was found.
He said the workers might get into
some extremely rich ore any day,
but he did not believe anything had
so far been found which would run
above the $4,000. The story. re-
ferred to was that some of the $40
a-pound gold ore had been found in
the mine and that to protect it the
superintendent had not left the
underground workings for a two
day period.
