Three iron ore bodies have been located in southeast Pershing and northeast Churchill counties by the use of a mobile magnatometer, a development expected to revolutionize the prospecting game. In commencing a prospect with the mechanical device, a survey is made and points are set, after which the magnatometer is mounted on a power wagon which carries it over all types of terrain, making a continuous recording on tape and also making recordings by a foot meter and a gyrocompass.

While no real activity was notice able, the woolen end was somewhat brighter than the worsted for wool demand. "Standard grades of territory, in scattered selling from week to week where spot lots are available, have held the basis quoted in our list.

We heard this week of transactions in good French and staple around $1.75 clean, with average to good French combing at $1.65 upward; quarterblood fully $1.20. "Fleeces have been generally dull this month, but a little has been done. Some turnover of three- eighth-blood was disclosed this week at 64 cents, which fairly establishes the basis as steady.

MAY DOTTIE'S 732 St. Sparks Fiftieth anniversary of powered flight occurred Thursday and was almost overlooked locally, except that children in a few of the schools developed essays en what the Wright brothers started when they launched their first plane from Kill Devil hill in North Carolina in 1903. Plans for a "fly-over" from Stead Air Force base had to be dropped because smoke covered the city in a weather phenomenon. Las Vegas put on a better show observing the day than did Reno. Col.

Clay Tice, training commander of Nellis Air Force base, gave thousands of southern Ne-vadans a thrill when his plane broke the sound barrier and sent a shock wave through the town. Colonel Tice dove his F-86 Sabre jet from 40,000 feet and followed up with high power acrobatics at 40 feet altitude at speeds upward of 500 miles an hour a far cry from the wobbly first flight of the Wright brothers. Some will claim that it wasnt Colonel Tice's sound shattering performance which sent a shock wave through Las Vegas, but the debut of Marlene Dietrich in a Strip nightclub. She appeared in a clinging gown transparent black net and little else, to sing nine songs including "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have." Dietrich reportedly draws $90,000 for a three weeks' stint of songs twice a night in a foggy and slightly off-key baritone. Asked why she chose such a daring costume, the star said: "This Is Las Vegas.

If you can't wear it here you can't wear it anywhere." (See page 2 for picture.)

Four Winnemucca cowboys roped cattle and dragged them out of the wrecked cars, destroying those badly injured.

The dead cattle were piled high on trucks and hauled to a rendering works in Reno.
