BANKRUPTCY HEARING HELD
, HERE BY REFEREE LANCWITH

A meeting of the creditors of
the Jaca Commercial Company of
McDermitt was held in the court
house here last Saturday before
United States Referee in Bank
ruptcy J. A. Langwith. Tony Due
cinni of Lovelock and a Mr.. Las
sale of San Francisco, both of
whom have entered claims against
the company, which had previously
filed a voluntary petition of bank
ruptcy, were in attendance, and
Attorney T. A. Brandon repre-
sented the First National bank of
this city and other claimants, as
well as the bankrupt concern. JUS
tice of the Peace James Richie
was named by the creditors as
trustee. = Papers on file in the pro-
ceedings show the assets of the
company to be greater than liabili-
ties by several thousand dollars, but
whether the full amount set for
asset valuations can be realized is
a question yet to be determined.
Another matter in bankruptcy
which has recently come before
Referee Langwith is the petition of
Martin Legarza for discharge from
bankruptcy, which was contested
by the First National bank on the
grounds that assets had been held
back. Judge Langwith will later
make recommendation to United
States Judge Harrington for settle
ment of this matter.

ILLIPAH PETROLEUM
WELL DOWN 1910 FEET

Manager Amenda of the Illipah
Petroleum company, received word
yesterday that not withstanding the
heavy snow and exceedingly cold
weather of the past two weeks the
crew at the well managed to dig
themselves out of the snow, keep
the drill going nearly all of the
time and now report that the we'll
has reached a depth of 1910 feet,
the deepest hole SO far drilled in
the field. The well is going down
at the rate of about ten feet a day.
Anderson, who supplies the fuel, has
been having a pretty hard time
keeping the camp in fuel, but so
far he has been equal to the emerg-
ency, and as long as fuel can be
had for the camp and boilers the
work will proceed. The drilling
crew is becoming enthusiastic over
surmounting all winter difficulties
and are hopeful of striking oil
sands within a short time which
will at least supply oil for fuel,
with strong probability of secur-
ing a flow which will cinch that
$4,000 reward offered by the state
for the bringing in of the first oil
well.-Ely Record.

RADIO ATTRACTING MUCH
. ATTENTION HERE LATELY

Don't ever attempt to tune a
radio receiving instrument, is the
advice of bugs" who have recently
been bitten here, for if you do
you'll be radio fan forever. The
latest to become afflicted with the
disease superinduced by radiotrons,
amplifiers, ticklers and secondary
tuners, as well as the nomencla-
ture of radio in general, is Vern
Hursh, assistant cashier of the First
National bank, who is installing one
of the most leaborate sets so far
brought to Winnemucca, and his
home on Bridge street will soon be
the scene of gatherings of people
listening to the wonderful programs,
stock market and news reports, as
well as classical and jazz music,
with occasional speeches of notables,
or church services. The set pur-
chased by Mr.. Hursh is a Zenith,
bought from The Silver State. Sew
eral other sales are reported by
Principal J. ID. Scott of the high
school, who is selling Federal equip
ment in cooperation with j. Bord-
ing.
Differing from the usual programs
broadcasted on the air was "The
Bat," which was broadcasted from
Los Angeles several nights ago by
the same company that recently
played in this city.
The public generally is invited
to listen in" at The Silver State
any evening during the coming week
between the hours of 7 and 10 in
the evening.

MUCH CASH SENT
AWAY FROM CITY



That Winnemucca imports $780,
211 worth OF food products an
nually, is disclosed by recent
survey conducted by Jos. w. Wilson
and M. G. Eastman for the Farm
Bureau.
1.-The enormous amount of $17,-
600 per month is sent out of the
county for food products not
canned" said County Agent Wilson
today. "Ail of these food prod
ucts could be raised in Humboldt
county and it is safe to say that
most of these products could be
raised at a profit.
"The largest% items appearing on
the list are flour, $40,350; butter,
$2s, $3.50; cheese, $12,915; eggs, $16,-
600. Another surprising feature
is the appetite that Winnemucca
has for watermelons, which il &c.
900 worth. We~ also use about
$4,000 worth of live hogs a year
which we ship in from Ogden, Salt
Lake or Lovelock. Many Of the
homes in Winnemucca are using
canned milk. We ship in $14,80O
worth of this product"
The towns of Golconda, Paradise
Valley, McDermitt, Denio, Jungo,
Orovada and Sulphur import many
of the products enumerated. The
products used by those towns are
not included in the above figures.
Good farm-to-market roads, pack
ing and grading of products, pure
seed, and cultivation with irriga-
tion, are factors which are going
to keep this 100000 at home, ac-
cording to Wilson.

WOULD HAVE NINE
JURYMEN DECIDE CASE

An amendment to the constitu-
tion of Nevada whereby nine jury
men of the IL may bring in a valid
verdict in criminal cases not involv-
ing capital punishment or life i'm
prisonment was proposed this week
in the assembly by Nelson of Wa
shoe by request. 1t is also pro-
vided that in all cases jury trial
may be waived by the accused. This
resolution was referred to the judi
ciary committee and must pass both
houses this session and again next
session before being referred to
the people for vote.

WANT LICENSES FOR
AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS

The operation of motor cars by
children and others deemed incom-
petent to drive automobiles and
trucks on the public streets and
highways is being attacked by the
Reno Motor Car Dealers Associa-
tion for operators licenses in gen.
eral automobile act which is now
being prepared. The dealers con-
tend that the operation of cars by
miners is public menace that
should be removed.

Children Improving

Children Improving
Miss Mary Stillwell, state leader
Of nutrition work under the Farm

to matters in connection with the
project to improve health among
grammar school students. Aided by
Miss Marjorie Mann, Farm Bureau
home demonstrator, she weighed
children who are under weight and
overweight at the school today, and
although the health project has been
under way only two weeks, improve

The long disputed question con-

Overland Trail touching upon its
course from Lovelock as to whether
Hazen or Fernley should be placed
on the map was decided Sunday at
Reno. The honor goes to Hazen, if
the report of the committee is ac-

port will be forwarded Immediately

Denny Hughes Ill
A letter from Denny Hughes,
formerly of the Squires Grocery
in this city, but who for the last
few years has been Unidentified with
the Quilici store at Wells, Nevada,
informs The Silver State that he
is at present in the St. Francis
hospital in San Francisco recovering
from nervous breakdown, but that
he hopes to be able to return home
within few weeks. Denny wrote
the letter personally in renewing
his subscription to this newspaper,
SO he is apparently able to sit up
and take notice.. With his host of
other friend here we express the
hope that his Improvement may
continue to be steady and that
he will, very soon, stop off at the
old homestead his same old clipper
self that. endeared him lastingly
here.

fund no tax reduction would re-
suit. The weakness In the proposal
that the gas tax money be given to
the counties in which it is paid lies
in the fact that the costs of such
collection and bookkeeping would
probably dissipate the money so re-
ceived. Such has been the expert
ence in other states. Also based
upon the experience of other states
is the proposition not to exclude
from taxation the gasoline used for
stationary engine purpose, because
it has been learned that there are
people in the world who will swear
they are going to use the gas for
stationary engine purposes when in
fact they will use it for automotive
purposes. An agreement has been
made with the different gasoline
concerns that they will pay the tax
on all gasoline coming into the
state, as well as the poorer grades
down to and including distillate.
Poorer grades than distillate will
not be taxed.

At the present time The Silver

the claim that our statement that

Newspaper advertising not only
