Our hosts showed what they can do in this line and they have every reason to be proud o f their efforts. Among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Stewart, W. J. S few art "and wife? Dr. and Mrs. Rucker, Miss Minnie Harrison and the editor of this paper. This evening was an oasis in the des­ert of time. One of the happy events we can point back to in the journey through life. Our hosts are congrat­ulated on the success of their efforts. W e all extend to them our thanks for the pleasure of the event. They have now returned to their camp where if it wasn’t so distant we would be a fre­quent visitor. We forget to mention that the occasion was enhanced by music, both vocal and instrumental. We hope to see the boys more fre­quently now that we have become | somewhat acquainted. By the way, these boys have a number of claims down in Eldorado canyon that may de­velop into wonders. They have been working steadily along for a number of years and have been piling up ore on the dump that goes over $100 to the ton. They are sinking to see what I they have. Their confidences have never deserted them. They invited no newspaper puffs. All they say is] wait until we can show what we have. | Some time in the not very distant fu­ture another bonanza may be opened to the world.

Tuesday evening they were the guests of honor at a meeting of the Leisure I Hour Club, at which there was a large attendance. During the evening Mrs. I Stewart, was called upon and gave a very interesting talk on Indian basket-ry, which was greatly enjoyed. Mr. Abe Cohn, who is considered an author­ity on baskets and who has long col- 11 lected the best obtainable, both for sale ‘ | and for his own private collection, stated that one of the baskets there exhibited by Mrs. Stewart was the most beautiful specimen he had ever seen, even excelling the wonderful work * of Dah-so-lala, the famous Indian bas-ket weaver. Mrs. Stewart has proved a delightful and interesting talker, and her display of baskets with her explanation of the signs and symbols of the patterns and her rich store of historical incidents of pioneer life in Southern Nevada, fur-rushed a very delightful entertainment, M p j f f 0 Wednesday the Vegas_ women were escorted to the Cohn residede they examined Mr CnW o ^ 1_______ collection of baskets, after which m m m axm M i •»L,v ?
