JESS KNIGHT TALKS
OF YELLOW PINE

Jess Knight, one of the large
stockholders in the Yellow Pine
Mining Company was in Vegas
yesterday.
Speaking of the mine he said:
ut is the unanimous opinion of
engineers who have examined it,
that the recent developments al
the Yellow Pine have opened an
other mine which will prove as
great as the vast ore bodies work
ed in the past.
"The newly discovered ore
bodies below the foot wall of the
old mine have already been open
ed from the 200 foot level to the
900I
'"The Yellow Pine Company has
paid dividends to stockholders of
100000 on a stock issue of ST.
100000, or nearly three and one
half times the capitalization.
see no reason why it should not
at least duplicate that perform
ance in the future. We expect
to open the, mill and greatly in
crease our activities in Septem-
ber. At present we are shipping
only high grade mixed ore which
does not require milling"

CITY WTTER SYSTEM

The consolidated committees of
the Chamber of CommeAe, con-
sisting of G. d. Baker, chairman,
j. T. Waters and Robert Griffith,
appointed July 5, TO make a gener-
al survey of the problem of a
water supply for the outlying sub
and A. A Hinman, chair
man, C. D. Breeze, and o. K Ad-
cock, appointed July II as q legal
advisory committee to work with
City Attorney Stevens, met July
20 and listened to the statements
of representative of the various
parts oftthe city where conditions
are the worst, and adjourned ia
meet again at the call of the
chairman.
The joint committee realized
that no qsestion more vitality af-
fects the welfare and future de-
velopment of the city than an ade-
quate water supply for domestic
use, sewerage and fire protection.
1t therefore desires to be fully in
formed before making it's recon-
mendations.
The matter concerns every wat
cruiser and property owner in the
city and the question should be
settled at this time and be set
tied ripht.
1t will be impossible for the
committee to interview each per-
son separately and it requests, as
a convenient method to obtain the
information desired, that all per-
sons interested write Chairman G.
D. Baker, stating grounds of com
plant, if any, under existing con-
ditions, adding suggestions res
pecting the best remedy. and whe-
ther in favor of a municipal sys-
tenn serving the city as a whole.
Careful consideration will be
given all communications, which
will be of material assistance TO
the committee in arriving at the
proper recommendations to be
made.

MOTOR CAR TRAVEL
Arrowhead Highway Traffic
Increases 65.5 Per Cent
Over 1926 and More Than
700 Per Cent Over 1923.

VAST INCREASCE IN d al S
The tremendous Importance of
the Arrowhead Highway is indi-
Gated by the count of traffic made
under the direction of Division
Engineer c. C. Boyer of the state
highw ~ department, for the seven
days July 18 to "a.
Tie total number of cars going
over the road during the same
period in 1928 was Sc per day;
in 1927, 459 per day, an increase
of more than 700 per cent.
In 1926 the count showed 279
cars per day as against 459 this
year, an increase for the year of
1SO cars per day or 64.5 per cent.
The 1927 count was taken at
three stations; two miles south of
Vegas ON the Arrowhead Highway;
at Glendale, 81 miles north of We
gas on the Arrowhead Highway;
and at Indian Springs, A miles
north west of Vegas on the Las We
gas-T -Tonopah highway. No count
was made of travel on the Las
Vegas-Searchlight road over which

In the matter of foreign cars,
that is cars from other states, the
1927 count at Glendale shows an
average Of 191 cars per day; the

Der of cars coming or going over

They were whiskei here early
this morning in transfer from the

every precaution on the part Of the
state authorities to keep it secret.
Interest In Move
Unusual interest attached to the
move today, because it was gener-

execution from the sentence date
of July 10 to month later, would
render unnecessary their removal
