New Burst of
Mining Activity
Trend Is Toward Production
Of Predominance of Gold
With Some Silver; Old and
New Workings Active.

A revival OF activity is being
shown in the mining region of Ell
Dorado Canyon, old mines which
have been producers in times past,
and new ones, being worked and
prepared for production.
More gold is now being found in
this region, which has produced 4
predominance of high grade silver
ore over a long period OF time.
Ell Dorado Canyon, it has been
explained, was created as the result
OF the upheaval of the Opal noun
tain and the Black Canyon ranges,
which line it on either side at pres
ent. These upheavals caused a
fault along the eastern side of Opal
range, and west of this fault there
seem to be better gold values, with
gold predominating, in fact.
The new Knob Hill mine has re-
Gently shipped carload of ore to
Salt Lake City, which is expected
to run $50 to the ton. This mine is
working five men at present prepar-
ing another shipment.
The Rand, one of the old pro-
ducerS, is working a full force of
men, with its siXty-ton mill going
full blast.
The Wall Street, another old
timer, is working on preparations
for going into production once more,
and will soon be ready to COM
mence shipping.
Another former big producer, the
Quaker City, also is being prepared
for renewed activity.
The Golden Empire is busy with
development work, blocking out
large bodies of mill grade ore, with
some high-grade.
Other properties in the district
which are expected to produce arc
the Occidental, Jeans and Tex Ba-
ker'S.
The old mining town of Nelson is
in the center of this canyon.

City Attorney Frank Stevens. re-
viewing the history of the park tract
stated that the matter could prob
ably be arranged. He called atten-
ton to the fact that the city COM
miSsionerS by resolution last spring
notified Senator Oddie that the city
is willing TO donte five acres of the
park land for a federal building
site.
A. E. Cahlan suggested that if the
government could receive five acres
free Of cost the $4,000 thereby
saved might be used to beautify the
site
Mr. Newman referred to the un-
desirable character of a portion OF
the city in proximity to the pro-
posed site and asked what could be
done about it.
City Attorney Stevens replied that
the city has full power to remove
the undeSirableS. Assurances had
previously been made that the red
light district would be removed
should the government indicate its
willingness to accept this site.
Judge Breeze suggested that the
corner of Fifth and Stewart would
be the most desirable site i'll the
park land and that the building
there could be seen by travellers
passing on Fifth street. Mr.. Brack-
EN- conceded with that idea.
Mr.. Flowers suggested that the
building would present a fine ap-
pearance placed at the head of
Third street or Fourth street and
would there be very attractive Ed
Clark suggested that in such To-
cation it could not best serve the
center of town
Mr.. NungeSSer stated that in his
opinion, since Fremont street is be-
coming SO congeSted, Fifth and
Stewart offers the best inducement.
Ed Clark suggested that as it seems
impossible 10 decide at this time.
some civic body should take the
matter up and make a report
Mrs. Johnson OF Johnson Realty
Co. suggested that there are other
sites that should receive considera-
ton
Sdll L III al SASSColCN NIldb lLlC
government representatives visit the
park land and select the location
therein they think most desirable.
c. P. Squlres suggested that
little more time be given SO that all
sites might be given consideration
and all phases Of the question ex-
amined
Mr. Newman and Mr.. Smith
stated that they would remain here
today and would receive all propos-
ais offered.
AT the close of last nights meet
ing the following proposals were III
the hands OF Mr.. Newman:

Harris, discharged from LorenzIs 8
employ as carpenter four months
ago becaue of drunkenness and un-
reliability, is known to be the

because Of comparison Of the writ
ing on the forged checks with
signatures known to have been
made by him before.
Furthermore, said Lorenzi. the
name of Harris, to whom the
checks were made payable, for
labor" was written in the same
handwriting on both the face and
the Enforcement of the checks. al
though Lorenzi's name, the forgery
of which was detected by the bank,
was written in a different hand.
Harris is about five feet eight
inches in height, weight about
ITS pounds. is medium heavy, and
has a round, red face according
to LorenZi
Warming against cashing checks
which might be numbered among
those the blanks for which were
stolen has been issued by the First
State Bank, where the forgery was
discovered when various firms
which had cashed checks for Har-
ris, brought them to be turned in
Whoever stole the checks evil
IDENTIFY knew the place, according
to LorenZi He broke out the
screen and then the glass, lifting
the bolts on the window and there
by entering He took the check,
from the back of the book, several

not have noticed their absence for
some time. He disturbed nothing
else at the resort.
Four of the checks were for $4i

Other localities are crying out Tor
federal buildings, he said, and COM
petition for federal building money
is keen in Washington. Las Vegas
is fortunate in having friends in the
U. S. senate and in the house who
are close III the confidence of the
administration and whose efforts
have resulted in placing this city on
the building program for this year.
Mr.. Newman and MI. Smith
spent the day III famillarizing
themselves with the various portions
of the city, forming their own ideas
as to what locations will best servo
the government and the people Of
Las Vegas.
Mr.. Newman called a meeting Of
citizens at the court room at 7:3O
last evening and was gratified to De
met by a large audience Of inter-
eSted people.
In opening the meeting Mr. New
man said that he is here to learn
where the people think is the most
suitable place for the location OF a
government building. The govern
ment has decided that the size must
be at least 14O by $50 feet in size
and on a corner The building Will
be planned to house all the activi-
, tleS of the government, present and
projected. including the post office.
| We have $4,000 to spend for that
purpose We haven't any more and
must set a site for that money.
We want your building to be in
| yr-I,
| can point with pride. 1t should be
| where it can be seen by the large
number of automobile tourists pass
ing through,
Inspector Smith, speaking for The
post office department, said that
the department wants the building
! located where it is convenient to
you The postoffice department re-
! quireS that it be convenient to the
railroad station and convenient for
! the delivery Of the mail,
We do not want the posJofflce in
| the outskirts of the town. But il
does not follow that it should be on
the main street. We have $4,000
and no more. The less of that We
spend for land the more We will
have for building. We need 10000
square feet of space.
Mr. Newman, reSuming his re-
marks. said that it is a customary
practice of the treasury department
to hold these hearings and hear
everybody's ideas. Written pro-
poSals should be submitted or
blanks furnished for that purpose
so that we will have something
definite to consider We desire TO
get the best building for you that
we know how in the best location
We can get.
Walter R. Bracken stated that the
Las Vegas Land & Water Company
has conveyed some so acres of land
TO the city for park purposes, the old
fair grounds tract. Ii the city sees
fit to offer part of this tract for 4
federal building site he would rec
ommend to the company that the
restriction as to use for park pur-
poses only be removed as to that
portion.
