The Southern Pacific Company employs 200 to 300 men at the Claro gravel pit near Beowawe Eureka County. They extract ballast gravel used to bed rail lines east to Carlin Elko County and west to Golconda Humboldt County. The Claro site is described as containing the best ballast gravel in the region. Mrs. Winfrey, elderly mother of Prof. E. Winfrey, suffered a paralytic stroke at her Reno home last Sunday night. Her left side and face are affected but doctors say the condition is not serious given her age over eighty. Prof. Dornberger, former Lovelock principal, has been named principal of Mayfield public school in California after completing his term in Lovelock.
