EXTRACTS FROM ADVANCE STATEMENT OF U. S. GEOLOG ICAL SURVEY.
 According to advance inform ation given out by the U. s. Geo ogical survey there was less gold mined in Alaska during the past year than during 1921.
 This does not mean that next year will see 8 further decrease in Alaska's gold output however as many producers have spent mostof the past season in deve loping ground and installing new machinery.
 MT. Alfred Brooks states that this year should see Alaska's gold production re.assume the status it held in the past.
 Dredging is to gain impetus as are other branches of gold mine ing, from the feeders that are to be built along the governments railway. The roads will permit much ground to be worked at a profit that is now laying idle. In 1921 we produced $8.073, $40 in gold last year, $7, 7S0, ,OOO and this year experts compute about a nine-million dollar output.
 In spite of the low price of copper the output for 1922 was '68. .00O, 900 pounds.

JOHN BARTLEMAY DIES
IN ISOLATED VICINITY

Word was brought to this city
Tuesday of the death of John
Bartlemay, well known resident of
this section of Nevada. Death of the
deceased occurred in a most inacces-
sible and isolated point in the nor
thern part of this county, being in
Starr Valley, about sixty miles from
Paradise Valley and can only be
reached by horseback, there being
no roads for automobiles in that
vicinity.
Mr.. Bartlemay was in the employ
of Abel & Curtner Ranching Com
pany and while riding for them be-
came seriously i'll and sent one of
his companions for a doctor. This
rider was overtaken, however, by a
second rider who brought the news
that the sick man had died. No
other particulars have been learned.
The deceased was about sixty-five
years of age and leaves to survive
him a brother in this city, Gus
Bartlemay. The body will be brought
in and will be taken in charge by
the Carlson undertaking parlors.

SAYS FUTURE is BRIGHT

George Southwark, manager of

credited with having negotiated and
received the peak price for wool
this year, the jenkins clip being one
Of the biggest in Nevada, is a busi-
ness visitor in this city today and
is also visiting with his brother,
John Southwark of the First Ma
tional Bank. Mr.. Southward's sur
9ey of the wool market, admittedly
1 learned one, leads him to the
opinion that there is nothing serious
IN the future condition of the wool
market and he exclaims that the
iudden slump in luying was in his
estimation entirely uncalled for. He
oases his conclusions upon observa-
ion of foreign clips and market
conditions.
Mr.. Southwark drove from Battle
Mountain to this city in two hours
and half and except for a washed
out place near Preble, says the roads
are in very good condition. At
Battle Mountain, he says, consid-
cradle mining act vity is apparant,

LIBRARY GETS
NEW PATRONS

Every day in every way the Ii
brary is getting better and better.
During the past two weeks twenty
eight new patrons have borrowed
books from the library. That is a
gain of two new customers every
day, including Sundays, perhaps as
result of well planned publicity.
Most of the merchants of the city
would be very proud to record an
equal number of customers every
day. The library is serving a real
need in the community and those
who enjoy reading are taking ad-
vantage of the services offered them.
More new books are being placed
on the shelves daily and new book
cases will soon have to be provided
to take care of them. Money for
these cases has been provided
through the efforts of the Civic
Club, the organization which started
and is maintaing the library for the
benefit of the citizens of this city.

death CLAIMS
YOUNG MOTHER
Mrs. Stuart E. Robinson Called to
Maker Following Birth of Child
and Complications Set Up
BY Goitre Affliction

One of the unexplained mysteries
of existence occurred this morning
when life expired from the mortal
body of Mrs. Alene Conoway Robin
son, worthy wife and mother of
five young children, constituting a
tragedy wherein it must seem to
the prostrated husband, Stuart E.
Robinson, that natures laws are
not fair in calling one from this
sphere after an all too brief life
time spent in honest pursuits and
devotion to home life. Death came
at the hospital at $3.50 o'clock this
morning, a cruel and unexpected
shock following the birth a week
ago today of daughter, but trace
able to the weakening effects of a
goitre. Until last Sunday the pa
tient had progressed excellently.
Mrs. Robinson was we'll known and
respected in this community, coming
here eighteen years ago Immediately
after her marriage to Stuart E.
Robinson, the ceremony having been
performed at her birthplace in
Oberlin. Ohio. Had she lived she
would have been SO years old this
month. Her maiden name was
Alene Conoway.
Besides her husband, Stuart E.
Robinson, a native of Winnemucca
and well known musician and driver
of the McDermitt stage, there sur
vive to mourn Mrs. J. Robinson,
also of this city and mother of the
husband; brother residing at Ober-
lin and a married sister at Chicago,
as well as five daughters, Virginia,
aged 12, Adele, aged 8, Ruberta,
aged 5, Mildred, aged 2, and the
week-old infant, who, by the way, is
in excellent health at the hospital.
Funeral services will be conducted
in the Carlson chapel by Rev. ]. H.
Westervelt at 10 o'clock next Satur-
day morning.

IRRIGATION RIGHT
FINALLY GRANTED
Permit Issued by State Engineers
Office to Sheehan and Taylor
for Construction of $4,000
Acre Irrigation Project

The long-waited-for permit to
construct the Grass Valley irriga-
tion project, a private enterprise
fostered by J. Sheehan of this city,
John G. Taylor of Lovelock and
their associates, AID calculated to
reclaim 1000 acres of land near
this city, was issued from the state
engineers office this week. It's
important provisions are that per-
mission is given to impound the
flood waters of the Humboldt river,
in a deep gorge near Valmy, work
to be commenced by October /,
1928, and completed within "a
months thereafter. The estimated
cost of the project is between $780,
600 and a million dollars. Other
details of the project have been
thoroughly recorded in previous is
sues of this newspaper.
The semi-annual meeting Of the
directors of the First National bank
of this city, being held today and
attended by George Wingfeld, l.. W.
Knowles, John G. Taylor, VIM.
Stock, J. G. Moore and J. Sheehan,
is of immense Importance to the
project, because it is these men who
will finally decide the destiny of the
project At the same time it is
likely to be rather disappointing as
far as public news is concerned, for
the reason that distinct aversion
has been manifested toward issuing
statements that might later prove to
be inaccurate, in the light of scien-
tifc facts which can be learned only
by engineers.
There are vast number of de-
tails to be worked out, such as
the Incorporation of the Humboldt
Irrigation Company, the actual gath
ering together of the money re-
quired, concerning which, however,
little anxiety need be felt, holes
must be drilled in the dam floor
and engineers must once more go
over the ground and submit their
findings in detail. Legal phases
of the project are of immense i'm
portance, and to confer with the
bank directors in this respect Geo.
Thatcher, Reno attorney, is here
today.
All of these things constitute
seious problems and the men al
the helm, being of conservative
natures, are not likely to fill the
craving for news concerning the
project, created because of its i'm
mense value to this city, until such
L 1. tl.A . h,
formation they give out is based
entirely upon facts.
The main thing, so far as the
public is concerned, is that rapid
action is being taken.

they knew nothing about and they

cumstances and since that time has
stoutly maintained that he has not
handled the forbidden liquor,

his friends who claim to see in the
present instances the working of
hard luck.
