MARRIAGES INCREASE
During 1922 a Total of LOG Couples
Were Married In Putnam

4 slight increase in the number Of
marriages in Putnam during 1922 in
comparison with 1921 may mean
nothing at all, and then again it may
indicate that heavy and telling work
was put in by Dan Cupid the past
year. And improved industrial con
ditions may be the reason. At any
rate, records of Town Clerk David
Flagg disclose that during 1922 a to
tai of 100 couples were married in
Putnam.
Mr.. Flagg's records also show that
a total of 205 children were born dur
ing 1922 and the total number of Put
nam people who died was $50.

NEWEST NEVADA WONDER

a poultice which he applied to his
lungs. Three changes of the ponl-
tice relieved the congestion of the
lungs and removed the danger Of
pneumonia.
A woman mining engineer while
examining some mining properties
near Jungo, Nevada, was stung on an
eyelid by a mosquito. In a short
time the eyelid and her cheek be-
came swollen. After trying almost
everything in camp without relieving
the swelling or pain some II sug-
gested trying the mineral soap pow
der that one OF the party happened
to have along. This suggestion was
followed and a poultice made of the
powder and applied to the eye of
the suffering lady. In two hours b'th
the swelling and pain had disap-
peared.
Many other uses have been found
for this mineral soap powder. 1t has
been made into a face clay; placed
on burns and healed them without
blisters developing; il is used in
diaries to wash milk bottles, and
when used in washing dishes it
cleaA and polishes them and at the
same time keeps the hands soft and

famous lost Breyfogle mine for which
all %prospectors Of that day were
searching. This was located at Stump
springs, fifteen miles southwest from
the Pahrump ranch. The Congress
mine, another one of his locations,
was retained and annual work per-
formed faithfully, as the locator was
confident that in the course of time
it would repay him for all his out
lay.
Under the Cleveland administration
Bartlett held the Office of postmaster
of Eureka for two terms.
Coming to Tonopah in 1902 Mr..
Bartlett found plenty of opportunity
for his former calling of contractor
and builder and found all the under
takings he could handle. One of his
earliest buildings was the Tadich
building adjoining the present Times
office, and the home he established
on Bryan avenue, one of the mos:
spacious homes in the young camp.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett occupied the
home to the end of their days. Mrs.
Bartlett dying there three years ago.
The elder Bartlett was not asso-
ciated with any fraternal orders or
creed during his latter days, although
he was a charter member the Eureka
lodge, Knights of Pythias, and a pro-
fessed member of the Baptist church.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be decided today when it is likely the
interment will take place tomorrow
in the local cemetery beside the part
ner of his joys and sorrows. The
couple always expressed a wish to
be laid to their final rest in Eureka.
and 1T is probable the bodies will be
exhumed in the spring for transfer
ence to their former home.-Tono-

PASSING OF NJ. B. BARTLETT
'EARLY PIONEER OF NEVADA

Mason Brown Bartlett, aged 81,
father of Judge George A. Bartlett
of Reno, and Henry Bartlett of Oak
land, died yesterday morning at 2
o'clock from an accumulation of ills
incidental to old age, professionally
described az arterio s%cleriosis. Death
came as the sequel to a long illness
extending offer a period of three
years, during the last three months
Of which the venerable pioneer was
unable to leave his bed.
The approach of death was ex
pected two days ago when the sad
news was communicated to the sons
whom it was thought would arrive
before dissolution, but this hope was
not gratified. Judge Bartlett was en-
gagged hearing a case in White Pine
county and left for Tonopah at once,
coming by way of Reno. Train 81,
on which he was a passenger, did
not make the connection Thursday
night and the judge had to spend
yesterday in Reno. He will arrive
this morning and arrangements will
be made for the funeral. Henry is
confined to his home in Oakland
with a severe illness and could not
, come.
Dad Bartlett, as he was known
throughout Nevada, was born in
Henry county. Kentucky, October 2,
1895, and came across the continent
in 1854, going TO Virginia City, which
was %throbbing with the excitement
occasioned by discoveries on the
Comstock, going thence to Austin
and engaging in business there,
marrying Miss Barbara Fleischman
in 1866. When the Hamilton ex.
element broke out the young couple
cast their lot with the new district
where they remained until they de
cided to remove to Eureka, where
they established their home. Mr..
Bartlett engaged in building and
contracting and soon embarked in
mercantile pursuits, operating one
Of the largest wholesale stores ir
Eureka. besides operating a lumber
yard. For forty-fvc years. Mr.. Bart
lett resided in Eureka, living the
greater part of that Tina as next door
neighbor to Fl. A. McKim Of this
city,
Notwithstanding The many de
mands on his time and advancing
years Dad Bartlett found occa-
sion to indulge in numerous pros
pecting trips through the southern
country, of which Pahrump was the
center. Or one of these Journeys
he located the Johnnie mine at what
is now known as the Johnnie dis
trict. He was accompanied by
George Montgomery from Las Vegas
in 1892, when he made the location
Of what is one of the most promising
little gold mines of the present day.
He disposed OF the mine to the Nor
mon church and subsequently staked
the Chesapeake mine, four miles from
! Johnnie, in the belief that it was the

CROPS AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK OF DEC. d

Observer H. F. Alps of the Reno
weather bureau of the department Of
agriculture has issued the following
weather and crop report for the week
week ending Decemb Der IS.
The 18th was the coolest of the
season SO far, but a 24-hour rise of
IS to % degrees brought the tenn
perature back to normal or slightly
higher. Afternoon temperatures in
the fifties were recorded during the
remainder of the week and the nights
we're cool. There was M precipita-
ton except in the north portion,
where it was moderately heavy. The
amount at Winnemucca was 0.34
inch, and moderate SHOWS were re-
ported in the mountain districts. The
wind movement and sunshine we're
about normal.
The change to warmer weather
was beneficial to livestock, especially
in northern counties and in the high
err evelations where below zero tenn,
peratures were reached for two or
three nights. Sheep were moving
south to the desert range where graz.
ing conditions were fairy guod. Use
of the winter range is restricted be-
aus of the lack of snowfall, and it
is necessary to keep stock near the
watering places. Scattering snow
banks in the south portion of the
desert range permit stock to spread
over the range. Many bands OF
sheep are still held on ranch pas
lures in northern md western dis
tricts waiting for snow on the desert
range. Grazing conditions continue
good in the north. Cattle shipments
are unusually heavy for this season
of the year. Several cars of steers
were shipped from northern ranges

RICHEST GOLD NINE Is AT
ALLEHANY, CALIFORNIA

The Sixteen-to-O One mine at Ale
ghany, twenty-five miles east of Ne
vada City, Calf, is believed to be
the richest gold mine in the world.
The mill is running constantly on ore
of very high grade and frequent
shipments Of bullion are made by the
United States mails.
The mine is owned by a close cor
poration, the stock of which is held
by six or sever men, and visitors are
seldom permitted to visit the work
ings. From time to time stories of
the great treasure exposed in the
underground vaults leak out. 1t is
pretty well authenticated that half
a million in gold was extracted in
drifting fifty feet and that $3.50, 900
came from a small stope.
One part of the mine is so rich
that the r is protected from high
graders by a concrete bulkl,ead, en-
trance to the drift being barred by
a heavy steel door to which one man
holds the only key.
Last February the production is
known to have been ~S750.0OG and
the monthly output is said to average
100000. All of the rich workings
are closed by steel doors set in con
crete frames.
Miners tell of huge slabs of almost
pure gold, with just a little quartz,
extracted from the Donana slopes,
and one single mine car is said to
have yielded 500 600.
