Rex Ingram Holds Qassics Will
Always Provide Screen Material
"Classic literature and drama will
ever be a productive field for the mo
tion picture producer," says Rex Ing
ram, whose next production for Metro
will be Victor Hugo's "The Toilers of
the Sea." "While it is probable that
the present tendency toward a prefer
ence for modern, well-knit, vital stories
will result in a preponderance of that
type of picture, it is nevertheless true
that the classics will continue to be
drawn upon by directors who have am
bitions to deal with great subjects in
a great way.
1 "There are two logical reasons for
this. In the- hrst place, the story or
drama which has survived the test of
time has, by virtue of that fact, demon

a sleepless night. I ftlt that we were
engaged in making a truly great produc
tion of a powerful story. I was con
fident that the picture, as it was being
developed, was fairly close to the au
thor's conception in regard to theme,
characterization and emphasis. And yet
there was always the fear that the great
mass of people who had read the book
might expect to see a picture just dif
ferent enough from the' one that I felt
was the most logical presentation of
the story that they would be disappoint

REORGANIZING THE BASEBALL TEAM
HE news that Carson baseball enthusiasts will reorganize the
local baseball team, unimportant as it may seem to those who
care little for the sport, is of great interest to hundreds of other
townspeople. I
A baseball team that is able to win even a majority of its games
is a big asset to a community, and on Sunday it furnishes entertain
ment that otherwise is lacking.
As an indication of the great interest that is being displayed in
baseball in eastern Nevada, special trains were run from McGill and
Kuth Sunday to convey spectators to the game to be played on Ely
grounds between a combined team of It nth and McGill against Elj
"The stores will likely close for the occasion, and the town will
turn out in a body," the Ely Times said.
This is the proper spirit and it bespeaks more than mere love of
seeing a good game it signifies that the community recognizes its
plain duty to maintain a good baseball team.
Baseball has long been known as the great American game, and is
recognized as the sport of all sports, because it is clean, healthful,
and scientific. A successful player must combine intelligence and
physical fitness to a high degree, and if his success is to be of even
comparatively long standing, he must refrain from dissipation of
every nature that will tend to retard Jiis development and alertness
It is the ambition of every town to maintain a good ball team,
and there is no greater reflection on the enterprise and public spirited-
liess of its citizens than for them to assume an indifferent attitude in
this respect. It is an unfailing indication that they are apathetic in
respect to other matters of civic welfare.
REGISTRATION AND CHANGING POLITICS
tffX connection with the anouneement of County Clerk Legate
II that those desiring to change their politics for the primary elec
tion must do so before next Saturday night, it is noticed that regis
tration of new voters in Ormsby county should be going along at a
more rapid pace.
This is the time for. all good citizens to see that they are qualified
to exercise their franchise at the election by attending to the simple
matter of registration. If you wish to have a voice in selecting the
right kind of candidates it is your peremptory duty to register. By
this actiou the voter places himself in a position to use the influence
of Jiis vote in choosing the best timber in his party for representa
tion at the polls in November. Neglect of the primaries is one of the
glaring omissions of the unprofcessional voter. It is an act that can
not be condoned. To register involves no red tape or expense and
occupies but a few minutes that can be spared easily from business
engagements. The names of those who failed to vote at the last pre
vious election are stricken from the grand register and it frequently
happens that those who announce their intention of changing their
residence to another city and then return just before election are
surprised to find that their name does not appear on the register.
This has happened and is likely to happen again, so the safest way
is to call up the county clerk and find for yourself that your name
remains on the register, Thee first duty of an earnest-minded citizen
is to vote at the primaries and in that way help to mould party affairs.

CONDEMNED AT HOME
mKVADA newspapers have been denounced for their frequent
condemnation of the one-sided bhis-sky law of California, es
pecially 'when applied to Nevada mining investments. Such'criticism
has had about as much effeect as turning a duck out in a rainstorm,
the Tonopah Times points out. It was all set down to self interest
and general hostility to the regeulations' of another state- It was
natural for the lawmakers and their officials to resent this interfer
ence but, when it is known that even a stronger antagonism has been
created in the center of speculative endeavor in California the dis
covery will awaken interest in this state as tending to show that the
blue-sky system of controlling interstate securities does not meet
with unqualified endorsement. Business men of Los Angeles are
taking up the fight with a demand upon the California corporation
commissioner to pay more attention to what is going on at home and
start his house cleaning in the purlieus of southern California where,
according to the Los Angelees Record, robbery of tourists and eastern
investors has been reduced to an absolute science without either regu
lations or interference. Promotions in Los Angeles have become so
putrid that the leading local evening newspaper has gone to bat
against promoters in general. According to the leading editorial ol
that paper spread over the front page in big type the porch climbers
of finance have easy , pickings, as many of the promotions being put
over in that city would make the rankest burglar blush or turn green
with envy, depending on how he was getting along with his own activities.
CAVE-IN OF TONOPAH
MINE CAUSES MUCH
EXCITEMENT THERE
With a crash that was felt all over To
nopah. a cave-in starting on the 200-foot
level took out a sector of the Mizpah
claim, 200 feet long and 100 feet wide
early Sunday evening says a special
communication to the Reno Gazette.
At the bottom of the immense pit,
which was viewed by hundreds, were the
crumpled remains of the assay office of
the Tonopah Mining Company which
was d'rectly above the point where the
cave-in occurred and which loosened
thousands of tons of rock and dirt.
An oil house containing 300 cans of
carbide, also went down into the hole
and landed on top of the debris. As
the water mains underground were
broken it was feared that the carbide
would get wet and generate gas, so
the Belmont mine, which connects with
the Mizpah workings underground, was
shut down. Engineer Huber reported
that, the carbide was not near any
water and the Belmont will resume
work.
Railroad Track Goes Down
Two hundred feet of the spur track
of the Tonopah & Goldfteld railroad
which winds around Mount Oddie to
the mines, fell in' the crash and the
twisted rails, with ties hanging to them,
add further interest to the scene.
The last man left in the mine ata 4 .30
o'clock yesterday aftcrnoont and so far
as known now there was no one under
ground at the time. Charlees Loker, as
sayer, left the assay office shortly after
two o'clock yeseterday afternxn when
a warning noise and a trembling of the
earth indicated to him that there was
a possibility of a cave-in.
Damage is $6000
In an ofheial statement given out
the company placed the damage at $8000
and said that the eworkings below the
200-foot level were not damaged, as had
been feared. The cave will not inter
fere with tnin operations, it was said,
as it had ben expected for some time
and miners were kept out of the weak
area.
