FERRON MAKES TALK
ON VEGAS FUTURE
Tells Ely People That Great
Resort Hotel Is Assured,
And Of Other Prospects
For Las Vegas

Construction of the big half mil
lion dollar hotel at Las Vegas
now seems assured, according to
information received by E. A..
FerrOn, Las Vegas realtor, who
returned yesterday from a two
weeks busiess trip in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Ferron states that the attor-
ney for A. l.. Richmond, the great
western hotel builder, and who is
promoting the construction of the
proposed Las Vegas hostelry, told
him that the contract for it's con-
Struction had been drawn and that
work would start early in Septem-
ber. Recent reports have indicat-
ed that it was Mr. Richmond's s
intention TO carry to completion
the proposed hotel plan, and the
raising of $4,000 among the local
businessmen of Las Vegas for the
purpose of purchasing stock in
the hotel seems to remove all
doubt of any failure or delay of
the plan. 1t was Mr.. Richmond's 5
wish that this amount be sub
scribed locally, not for the sake
of the money, but to establish a
local interest in the hotdl and
its success, which is a valuable
asset.
The hotel is to cost approxim
ately 100000, and according to
the architects plans, will be a
spacious and magnificent building
1Hrft fYaI r
Union Pacific architect, who has
! been engaged by Mr.. Richmond
to draw specifications and plans
has given the proposition a
careful study, and has outlined
what will be, when completed
including banquet and convention
a handsome hotel of $50 rooms
halls, and every modern requir
ment of entertainment The
grounds will be large and attract
i've with an all-grass golf course
and lakes and fountains of the
most charming designs A riding
academy will be established or
the grounds and various forms OF
amusements conducted. The no
tel company has been decided by

This property is situated on the
north side of the city of Las

Trail and the fifth street highway
The U. z. is now preparing tc
drill more wells close to the
place where the company has its
S25-inch weld on the outskirts oi
the city. Water mains will be
laid in new areas to meet the

LOCAL SEASON ENDS
PEACH SHIPMENTS
McGriff Orchard Closes Most
Successful Season.-Locai
Market Absorbs Large
Fart Ot Crop

The feast OF peaches in Las
Vegas ended the past week when
the last OF the fruit from the
ranch OF E. G. McGrin, eight miles
south of this city, was put on the
market.
This season has ,Been the best
we have ever had, said Mr.. Nc
Griff, in commenting on the peach
crop. The market was better
than ever before, the prices good
and the crop larger and of the
finest quality. Most OF the crop
was disposed OF IN the local mar
ket, the balance being shipped.
Nearby towns, Arden, G o d.
springs, Sloan, Eldorado Canyon
and all otner towns in this section
nave demanded much fruit, some
tnIng over 500 lugs having gone
TO Arden alone.
Much fruit was taken by the
dining car service of the Union
racine and nothing but satisfac-
ton and praise was expressed by
the travelling public. | have found
uhat my plan of opening market
and selling direct to consumers
has resulted in a greatly increased
consumption on the part OF the
public and has also simplified my
problems OF marketing"
The McGriff ranch is noted for
the fine quality OF it's peaches,
the two varieties most priced be-
ing the Early Elberta and the
Late Elberta, very similar in char
acter. The late variety are ready
to market as soon as the early
are gone. The season lasts little
| more than a month.
The McGriff ranch is one of the
| outstanding Successes in fruit
raising in this section. Mr.. Nc
Griff is an experienced horticul-
turist and his example will lead
others into the fruit raising in
dustry The Las Vegas Valley
has long been known for the fine
| flavor and quality of it's peaches

MALLEY AND COLE
TRIAL UNDER WAY
Most Of Week Taken Up
With Work Of Securing A
Jury.--Defendants Making
A Desperate Fight

The trial of former State Trea-
sursr Ed Malley and former
State Controller George Cole on
charges o. embezzlement Of $516,
322.1G of the funds of the state
OF Nevada opened at Carson
City bsfo.e Judge Ballard Mon
day.
The securing of a jury salts
factory to both the state and
the defendants has been a diff
cult matter. In the examination
OF prospective jurors both sides
indicated that the case would
be fought to a finish and nothing
of legal technieality overlooked.
The first pa~el was quickly ex-
hausted. The second panel of
forty additional jurors was ex-
hausted Thursday and the case
is delayed until today when the
third panel of rs will be brought
into court. 1t is very possible
that it will prove impossible to
secure a jury in Ormsby county
because of the wide publicity
given the case. and it may be-ne-
cessary to transfer the case to some
other county for trial. 1t has
been suggested that Clark county
would be the logical place to try
the case should a transfer be
necessary.

GEORGE ULLOM DIES
FROM AUTO INJURY
Breaking Steering Knuckle
Causes Car To catapault.
Injury To Spine Cause
Of Death.

George Ullom. for fifteen years
past a prominent and respected
young man of this city, died at
7:30 a m. yesterday from injur-
les received Tuesday afternoon.
The young man was driving on
the Searchlight road on his way
to this city when the steering
knuckle of the car broke. The
wheels Immediately turned and the
car catapaulted end over end. Mr..
Ullom was alone in the car. The
accident occurred between 2:30
and 300 Tuesday afternoon at a
point about three miles east of
Vegas.
The accident was reported by
Arthur Mosbach who came in past
the scene. City Marshal Spud
Lake Immediately went out and
brought the injured man to the
Hewetson Hospital The car was
found to be not seriously damaged.
p Mr. Ullom suffered great pain
as the result Of his injuries. There
was a badly bruised region at the
back of the base of the skull and
a severe injury to his back, the
latter it is understood being the
direct cause of death. His body
was paralyzed from the waist
down.
Fear that his injuries would re-
suit in death was felt from the
first. At times he seemed to rally
and improve slightly but in spite
of all possible care and attention,
the patient sank into his last
sleep early Friday morning. The
body was removed to the Las
Vegas Funeral Home where it waa
prepared for burial.
Lloyd Ullom, brother, and his
wife, who were spending a vaca
tion in Los Angeles, arrived in

YELLOW PINE MINE
SHIPS CAR A DAY
New Ore Body On 200 Level
Proves Rich; Company To
Increase Output Soon

Complying with the recent Tul-
ing of the governing board of
the Los Angeles Stock Exchange
relative 20 stock issues, the Vel
low Pine Mining Co, has appoint
ed the Title Insurance and
Trst Company as it's registrar
agent, the transfer of stock being
relegated to the Security and Saw
ings Bank, both of Los Angeles.
The recent important discovery
of ore in virgin ground in the
Yellow Pine mine at Goodsprings,
the existance of which was for
merly unknown, and which was
caused by a thrust fault, has
greatly stimulated interest in this
famous Old-time producer, which
has a past dividend paying rec
ord of $3,450,OO0. This new and
important condition has resulted
in the regeneration of the mine
and its reinstatement as a profit
able and prolific shipper
At the present the company is
shipping from 40 to so tons OF
first class ore daily, the expecta-
tion being that this output will
be materially increased within
the next few months, following
intensive m inc development.
The greater portion of the ore
now being mined is coming from
the 200-foot level in close proX-
unity to the incline shaft, where
the ore body is approximately 10
feet thick in a blanket deposit
which, it is believed, will be con
tinous for several hundred feet
south of the shaft.
The discovery of this new ore
body has confirmed the geologi-
cal deductions of Ralph Rose
berry of Los Angeles, consulting
engineer for the company, and
new exploratory work has prov
en- the correctness of his theory,
confirmed by a number of prom
inent mining engineers who have
made an exhaustive examination
OF the mine workings, and who
join in the belief that the Vel
low Pine is in a fair way to
duplicate its past production and
dividend paying record. j. F.
Kent is president of the company,
Ralph Roseberry is vice1presi-
dent and managing director, S.
E. Yount, treasurer, and Jess
Knight, secretary, all of Los An

George UllOm was born in Jew
ell City. Kansas, March 30, 1898.
Shortly following the completion
OF the Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroad he came with his par
ents to Yermo, Cal. The parents
removed to Las Vegas in the
spring of 1912, George following
soon after, his arrival here being
June 10, 1912. Until the first of
the present year he was an en-
ploye of the Union Pacific. He
was active in his railroad bro
therhOod and was held in respect
and esteem by all.
On December %, 1914, he was
united in marriage to Miss Norma
Brockman, and their marriage life
has been one of happiness and
contentment.
He had a pleasing and attrac-
tive personality and was always
popular with his friends. His ac-
tivities extended into many lines.
For the past three years he has
been very active in developing a
dairy ranch which has been prov
ing very successful He became
d member of the local Elk's Lodge
about year ago.
To those of us who have been
so intimately associated with the
Ullom family for so many years,
the death of the young man is a
great personal loss. To those who
are left bereaved, the sympathy
of the entire community goes out
in measure greater than we can
express.
