VEGAS HONORED A!
[EH CONVENTION
Local Post Wins Cup For
Largest Growth During
Past Year. — Senator Otl
die Delivers Address.
The Stale Convention of the
American l.egion opened in Keno
Monday, the Las Vegas l’ost De
ing represented by Levi Trach-t,
Robert Urillith and Andy Raiaaei,
The fea'ure of the convention,
so far as Las Vegas is concerned,
was the award to I -as Vegas Post
of the department membership
trophy for the largest gain in
member ship (luring the past year, j
The cup was presehted by
Duane Busfi of Winnemucca, past
department commander of the or
gaitiazlion. The I .as Vegas post
increased from a membership of
79 to 154 during the yeaa\ an in
crease of 90 per cent.
The second day of the conven
tion was opened with a street
parade.
With a host of brilliant flags,
both the national colors and the
standards ot the legion posts rep
resented at the convention, the i
parade moved down Virginia
street to the state building to I
music from two bands and a drum !
corps. Both the exposition barn!
of Reno and the Carson valley
'band of Gardnerville and Minden
were in the line of march while
the Reno post's drum corps added
a 'martial air to the procession.
Several hundred men and women
were in tae parade, the white
dresses of the women, members
of the auxiliary of the legion, vie-1
ing with the olive drab uniforms
worn by a part of the mei^ march
ers, says the Reno Gazeeie.
While the parade was disband
ing at Powning Park,, the bands |
rendered several selections after
which the convention was opened
and the business of the day taken i
up.
Asserting that the propaganda,
which accused the United State*!
of an imperialistic attitude toward :
Haiti was fostered in Moscow and j
declaring that withdrawal of i
American forces from that island
would result in anarchy and revo
lution, Secator Tasker L. Oddie
told the war veterans of his re
cent visit to that country in'
wlhich he investigated conditions
there. This propaganda, he said,
used Haiti as the starting place;
for an attack on Americanism and
he warned of the inroads of Com
munistic ideas in this country.
He told of the work being done |
in Haiti by the occupation forces
which, he said, would eventually
bring that country to a self-sus
taining basis.
Senator Oddie was followed by
George Hatfield, United States dis
trict attorney for Northern Cali
fornia who represented the CaV!
fornia department of the legion at
the Nevada convention. Mr. Hat
field spoke feelingly of titoe strong
trie ndship which existed between
the two organiaztions of veterans
and said that California always
felt assured of the hearty support
by Nevada in all its undertakings.
He pointed out the presentation
of the California building at tihe
exposition to the Nevada legion
as one instance of the fine feeling
which exists.
He also stressed the 'principles
upon which the organization was
founded and asserted that history
would prove the worth of the
legion to the nation.
Cheered for several minutes
wlien he stood up to address the
gathering, A. E. Lasher of the
Grand Army of the Republic
spoke on the problems which con
fxonit every soldiers’ organization
as he told of th$ conditions found
iby G. A. R. when it was first or
ganized. Mr. Lasher stressed
Americansim as one of the mat
ters whicu the legion could profit-:
ably continue to forward and said,
in this connection, that a cam
paign for a more direct interest in
government on t'v; part of the |
people at large would prove of
benefit xn this work.
Dr. D. A. Turner of the united j
States bureau spoke in connection
with the work the bureau is doing!
for the veteran and cited figures,
to show the amount of business
done by tihe Rend regional office, j
* Tuesday night the grand voiture
of Nevada, Da Societe des 40!

JESS KNIGHT TALKS
OF YELLOW PINE
Jess Knight, one of the largo
I stockholders in the Yellow Pine
Mining Company was in Vegas
yesterday.
Speaking of the mine he said:
“It is the unanimous opinion of
i engineers who 'have examined it, i
; that the recent developments .n
the Yellow Pine have opened an
j'other mine which will prove as
' great as the vast ore bodies work
ed in thj past.
“The newly discovered ore!
j bodies1 -below the foot wall .of the
: old mine have already been open
! ed from the 200 foot level to the
900.'
“The Yellow Pine Company has 1
paid dividends to stockholders of
$2,400,000 on a stock issue of $1,
000,000, or nearly three and oae
i half .times the capitalization. I
j see no reason why it should not
j at least duplicate that perform
i 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."
ELY CAPITALISTS
INVEST IN VEGAS
Active Element in Great Cop
per Camp Identify Them
selves with Future of
Boulder Dam City.
One of the most significant
events of recent weeks relating to
the future of Las Vegas, was the
announcement by E. A. Ferron
that Ely capitalists have conisum
miated the purchase of a large
po.\ion of lire Bouliler Addition, in
the southern part of Las Vegas.
Ely has long had a friendly in
terest in this city and that inter- j
j est, stimulated 'by the moral cer-;
f tainty of the passage of he Bould-1
j er Dam bill by the next congress, j
| has now taken pratcieai form.
The deal was consummated af
| ter careful examination of the
' property and the general business
situation in Las Vegas. It is the
: lorerunner of large capital in
vestments by other interests
which have been doing much quiet j
I investigation.
The following article from the
Ely Daily Times expresses the i
views of Ely people regarding the j
matter:
; “Having faith in the future of |
Las Vt gas, and believing that the
next session of Congress is likely j
■ o pass the Swing Johnson bill, or
j other desirable legislation, appro-,
' priating money for the construe-1
I lion of the proposed Boulder Can
■ yon dam at Black Canyon, 28 j
I miles from Las Vegas, a number j
I of prominent men of the Ely d’.s-;
! trict have invested in real estate!
| in the Boulder addition, in Las !
; Vegas, which property fronts on
Main street and the Arrowhead
i Trail highway to Los Angeles.
“Before purchasing this property
a special rc presentative was sent
1 to Las Vevas to inspect and re
\ port on the land. The report be
I jpg highly favorable, plans were
immediately undertaken to close
! the deal, which was consummated
this morning. Those who have
become identified with this in
vestment are J. C. Kinuear, F. E.
Stone, J. J3. Murphy, Stanley Dra
per, Louis Conoelous, Tom Kopas,
of McGill, and Dr. R. A. Bowdle,
Jchn Eagrr, O. G. Bates, and Vail
Pittman of Ely.
Arthur Doty of Moapa, who j
came to the Las Vegas Hospital j
Tuesday morning for medical
treatment, is improving rapidly
and will be able to leave the hos
pital within a few days.
Senator A. S. Henderson is ex
pected home tomorrow, Mrs. Hend
erson and Alice will probably re
main in Los Angeles for a time.

SEEKS ADVICE ON
CITY WTTER SYSTEM
The consildated committees of
tine Chamber of CommeMIe, oon
I sisting of V. D. Baker, chairman,
J. T. Watters and Robert Griffith,
appointed July 5, to make a gener
al survey of the problem of a
water supply tor the outlying sub
divisions; and A. A. Hinman, chair
man, C. D. Breeze, and O. K. Ad
cock, appointed July 12 as a legal
advisory oommittee to work with
City Attorney Stevens, met July
22 and listened to the statements
of representatives of the various
parts of *the city where conditions
are the worst; and adjourned ta
meet again at the call of tihe
chairman.
The joint committee realized
that no qsestion more vitally af
fects the welfare and future de
velopment of the city than an ade
quate water supply for domestic
use, sewerage and fire protection.
It therefore desires to be fully in
formed before making its recom
mendations.
The matter concerns every wat
er-user and property owner in the
city and the question should be
settled at this time and be set
tled ripht.
It will be impossible for the
coimmiteee to interview each per
son separately and it requests, as
a convenient method to obtain tihe
information desired, that all per
sons interested write Chairman C.
D. Baker, stating grounds of com
plaint, if any, under existing con
ditions, adding suggestions res
pecting the best remedy, and whe
ther in favor of a municipal sys
tem 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.

VAST INCREASE IN
MOTOR CAR TRAVEL
Arrowhead Highway Traffic
Increases 65.5 Per Cent
Over 1926 and More Than
700 Per Cent Over 1923.
VAST 1NCREASCE IN— d ai S
The tremendous importance of
the Arrowhead Highway is indi
cated by the count of traffic made
under the direction' of Division
Engineer C. C. Boyer of the state
highw/y'department, for the seven
days July 18 to 24.
Ti e total number of cars going
over the road during the same
i period in 1923 was 56 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
180 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, 51 miles north of Ve
gas on the Arrowhead Highway;
and at Indian Springs, 44 miles
northwest of Vegas on the Las Ve
gas-Tonopah highway. No count
was made of travel on the Las
Vegas-Searchlight road over which
a considerable number of cars
travel each day.
In the matter of foreign cars,
■that is cars from other states, the
1927 count at Glendale shows an
average 'fcf 191 cars per day; the
I count south of Las Vegath 174
cars per day. the difference rep
resenting approximately the num
, her of cars coming or going over
the Las Vegas-Searchlight high
way where there was no count.
Most of this traffic is to or from
Arizona points.
It is of interest to observe that
on July 25. 1927, Jhere were 1916
automobiles • registered in Clark
county.
NEW CONTRACT ON
ARROWHEAD HIGHWAY
Nine Mije Section Immedi
ately North of Las Vegas
To Be Improved—Contract
To Be Let in October.
The Division office of the State
Highway Department has been ad
vised by State Highway Engineer
S. C. Durkee, that construction of
the nine mi'le section immediately
north of Las Vegas will be adver
tised for contract about October 1,
19J7, provided rights of way have
been acquired. The Bureau of
Public Roads has approved this
section as a part of the Federal
A4J road system.
The Division Office in coopera
j tion with the Board of County
l Commissioners is acquiring such
rights of way. ^ .
The proposed section of highway
will extend from the Williams
Ranch just north of Las Vegas, to
the West End Chemical road and
will be about one . mile shorter
than the present traveled county
road.
With the completion of the new
section there will remain only six
miles to improve between Las Ve
gas and the Arizona state line,
which is the stretch from Apex
.to Dry Lake.

GREAT MINE DEVELOPED
DY AROENTENA COM
YELLOW PINE DISTRICT GIVES ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCER OF METALS TO
ADD TO WEALTH OF WORLD. 65,000 TONS OF ORE READY FOR MILL .
ARGENTENA COMPANY ENTIRELY FINANCED BY SMALL GROUP OF CAPITAL
ISTS. — NO TREASURY STOCK FOR SALE.
• The Yellow Pine Mining District, of which (ioodsprings is *he center, which has
already given millions of wealth to the world through its production of zinc, lead, sil
ver, copper and other metals, has another •ast< ni -hing success to present through the
Argentena Conslidated Mining Company.
The success of this company consis s In Laving developed its property to a point
where it has more than 65,000 tons of ore ready for milling, after an expenditure
which is estimated at a quarter million dollars; having its equipment partially install
ed for operation; and all without any stock selling campaign, the whole of the fin
ances having been furnished by the small group of men headed by Harry Lee Martin
of Los Angeles. _'
The officers of the company are
Harry Lee Martin, president; Fred
B. Piehl,, vice-president; and
George A. Tweady, secretary and
treasurer. These, together with
James Irvine, Jr., and Earl M.
Leaf, comprise the board of di
rectors. i
Tihe company owns the Galena
Consolidated patented mining
claims; Galena West Extension;
Galena East Extension; Lucky
Strike and Lucky Horse Shoe
claims. »Options are held on three
other patented claims.
The property was takin over
. y the Argentena about March 1,
1P26, from Mr. Fred B. Piehl, who
has been operating in the district
for 15 y.ars and successfully de
veloped Uhe Kirby, and worked on
lease the Mountain Top and other
valuable mines in the district. The
development of 'tee Argentena is
being (lone under the direction of
George A. Twetdy, engineer in
charge of operaiions, and Super
intendent Fred B. Piehl.
The authorized capital of the
coin-pun;- is 4,000,000 shares, par
value 25 cents, of which 2,505,000
are outstanding. There is no
treasury stock for sale to the
public, hut the shares are listed
on the Los Angeles Stock Ex
change for the purpose of estab
lishing a stable market price. The
first call on exchange was Mon
day last, the stock then being in
demand at 35 cents.
The company has complied with
all the California requirements
for listing and has appointed the
Title Insurance & Trust Company
as its registrar.
To Clark county, the develop
ment of the Argentena is a mat
ter of great importance and a
short description of the property
and its equipment will prove of
interest.
The claims are located on a
ridge above the surrounding coun
try. The camp was established
on the west side of .the ridge, that
being the most convenient point
at which to do the development
work.
Prom the camp, a .tunnel was
first cut directly through tthe hill
for the purpose of exploration.
Following this a second tunnel
was driven through and the work
of cutting drifts, cross cuts and
raises to expose the ore was car
ried on. The underground work
now totals between 2,600 and 3,000 .
linear feet.
65,000 tons of ore, which will re
tain a profit of $10.00 per ton or
better is ready for the mill now I
under construction. Shipping of
high grade ore which does not
require milling will be ‘begun as
soon as the cable tram is com
pleted, before the mill is ready ’
for operation.
The mill is being erected at the
eastern purtal of the tunnels, that1
ibeing nearest to Jean, the railroad :
shipping point, from which it is
distant S miles, the grade being
all down hill. All ore and coni;
centrates will be transported to!
the railroad by trucks.
The mill will bo of 200 tons per
day capacity, Ohe first 60-ton unit |
of which is under construction. In i
excavating for the foundation of
the mill, eight benches were cut.
As power for this work the wpter
line between the camp wherevthe
air compressor is located, was
utilized as an air tube, compressed
air being forced through for a I
distance of 4.500 feet to run the J
air drills. The compressor is a I
60 h.p. C. P. Semi Diesel, from
which all development ihas been
done.
The mill will he equipped with
the selective type of concentra
tion and flotation. The concrete
piers for t!he machinery are being
poured and all machinery for the
first unit is on the ground. It
will be ready for operation lu
about 5 weeks.
Connecting the mill with the
eastern portal of the mine is an
automatic aerial gravity tram 2,
500 feet in length-. This will drop
the ore to the mill by gravity, the
difference in elevation between
the mill and the mine being 585
feet.
Water for works of this magni
tude was a serious problem. It
was solved by developing water
at Goodsprings townslte. From
there the water is pumped through
a 3-inch pipe line 9,600 feet to the
mill site, the lift being 500 feet.
A Fair ban ks-Morse “Y" Type. Hot
Head semi-Diesel engine and a
triplex pump is used for this lift.
At the mill a 10 h.p. F. M. en
gine and triplex pump boosts the
water over the mountain to the
camp through a 2 inch pipe, a dist
ance of 3,400 feet with a raise of
770 feet.
Power for all operations at the
mill and mine is furnished by
electricity. At Goodsprings the
company has installed a 240 h.p.
Benz Chicago Pneumatic Diesel
with a 3-phase General Electric
generator. This is of sufficient
capacity for all future needs. The
power line from the plant to the
mill and mine is now 75 per cent
complete.
Reviewing the history of the
great producers of tihe Yellow
Pine District, one is impressed by
the advantage which the Argeu
tena properties .have x being fin
anced at the start, not requiring
iong years of single-handed de
velopment with no finances be
yond what could be obtained from
shipping a little ore from time to
time as was the case with most
of the successful properties there.
The Yellow Pine district is not
regarded as an old district and it
is the opinion of those who are
best acquainted with it that there
are mines as great as any yet
discovered waiting capital for de
velopment.
The district has an astonishing
record as a producer of wealth.
The Yellow Pine Mine, which to
day it is (Taimed has greater ore
bodies in sight than at any time
in its history, has been a steady
producer for many years and has
paid to its stockholders consider
ably over $3,000,000 in dividends.
The old Potosi mine has been a
producer since its location in 1864.
During the three or four years
following its acquisition by the
Empire Zinc Company.in 1910, it
is credited with having paid a
profit of between $3,000,000 and
$4,000,000. It is now said to be
owned by the Anaconda Copper
Company and is under lease to
Reynolds Robbins. A concentra
tion plant has been built and a
vast amount of ore which was
considered-of too low grade for
shipment, is now being concen
trated and shiped at a handsome
profit.
Many properties ^including the
Anchor, Bullion, Monte Cristo,
Sultan, Boss and others, have pro
duced vast amounts of wealth and
stiH hold splendid possibilities for
further development with more
modern equipment. 'The entire
district is highly mineralized and
there is every reason to believe
that capital will, open new mines
there as great as any 'of those
we have mentioned. While the
public mind is easily inflamed by
the lure of gold, miners and capi
talists are alike *in their belief
that the Yellow Pine District with
its zinc. lead, silver, vanadium,
copper aud allied .minerals offers
the greatest certainty of profitable
mining when reasonably finanhed.
Then again, speaking of gold, the
old Keystone mine in the heart
of the Yellow Pine District has
a record of production of the Yel
low metal which would shame
many a more highly touted camp.
Mining in the Yellow Pine Dis
trict is in its infancy.
Therefore, again we say; The
example of the Artentena is of
the utmost importunes to Clark
county in po’nting the way for
development of other properties
by capital. The years of hand-to
mouth development by the pros
pector appear to b? gone forever.
