Elko: The First 100 Years
HOWARD HICKSON'S HISTORIES
[Index]
Elko: The First 100 Years
Elko was the end of the tracks laid from the west by the Central
Pacific Railroad in 1868. When CPRR tracklayers moved on east to
meet construction crews of the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory,
Utah Territory, they left a small tent town on the banks of the
Humboldt River.
When Elko began it was a rough and tumble place populated by
railroaders, miners, gamblers and a few merchants. In 1869 a
newcomer remarked in a letter, "There were all sorts of games and
vices in progress and only two men were killed the day I arrived."
The community soon had a few permanent buildings and its economy
expanded into freighting to area mining camps and became a ranch
supply center. Since then, gambling, tourism, modern gold mining and
its many service groups have added to the economic slate.
The town was probably named by Charles Crocker, superintendent of
the CPRR. He was fond of animal names and simply added an "o" to
Elk.
The state legislature formed Elko County from a portion of Lander
County in 1869. With 17,127 square miles, it is the sixth largest
county in the nation.
From 1869 to 1917 the community was run by Elko County
Commissioners whose motto was: "The best government is the least
government."
Following are the ups and downs of a growing frontier town.
1868: December 29, Elko founded by the Central Pacific Railroad
(later Southern Pacific, now Union Pacific).
Townsite laid out.

Elko: The First 100 Years
In the next 20 years to 1998, Elko underwent changes that have
forever altered its personality and looks. The growth came mainly
from nearby gold mines that made northeast Nevada the largest gold
producing area in the nation. With the discovery of microscopic gold
and new methods of extraction came people from all over the world
and Elko's population exploded.
Elko today is the largest community between Salt Lake City (235
miles to the east) and Reno (290 miles west). The community's
remoteness gives the people a certain spirit of independence and it
remains as one of the American West's premier frontier towns. Yet,
there is a special metropolitan spirit because it is the social and
cultural center for an area larger than most states back east.
Times have changed but the place is still a 24-hour town where the
casinos never close. Some say that Elko is an evil place in which to
live with its legalized gambling, drinking, and other vices, but the town
has solid citizens with a strong economy, excellent schools, Great
Basin College, Western Folklife Center, churches, the Northeastern
Nevada Museum, Convention Center, and many cultural activities
lacking in other cities of the same size.
It is a pleasant place to live with clean air, numerous cultural events,
the spectacular nearby Ruby Mountains, people who still have time
to stop and chat for a few minutes, boundless outdoor and sports
activities, ghost towns where one can walk a few moments in the
past...the list is long and it is up to you to decide what you want to do
it. Take some time to enjoy the people and the land.

This piece is from an article, "Elko, Nevada: 1868-1968," I compiled
for the Fall 1983 (83-4) issue of the Northeastern Nevada Historical
Society Quarterly. My thanks are extended today as back in 1983 to
Milo Taber (now deceased), and Terry Reynolds and Jack Sutherland
(both former City Managers) for their assistance in locating some of
the sites.

Halley's Comet
HOWARD HICKSON'S HISTORIES
[Index]
Halley's Comet
Midas, Nevada - April 27, 1910
Residents of Midas, a gold camp in Elko County, were jolted from bed at 3:30
a.m. on April 27, 1910, when a blast rocked the countryside and shook buildings.
Running from their houses and cabins, still in their gowns and nightshirts, they
heard a voice in the darkness, "Everybody up! Halley's comet is about to appear!"
Tousled heads and bleary eyes turned toward a nearby hill just east of town as
a very bright light appeared. They were suddenly awake and watched in
amazement and wonder as the light lit the sky for about twenty minutes. Then it
faded away and the morning star appeared. It was indeed a beautiful sight.
Midas around the time when Halley's Comet visited the place. Photograph
from the Northeastern Nevada Museum collections, Elko.
Everyone was thrilled. Sighting the famed comet was a once in a lifetime event.
It crosses the sky only about once every 75 years, give or take a couple of years.
The great American humorist Mark Twain claimed to have been born during the
comet's last sighting in 1835 and maintained that he would leave this life when it
next appeared.
Wide awake now but hoping to salvage a little sleep, Midas residents went
back to bed. They would learn, when the news reached Midas a couple of days
later, that Twain had passed away on April 21. Close enough, most commented.
Dick Avery, a night shift miner at the Rex Mine, harbored a secret most the of
following day. After getting a snoot full at one of the bars, he told all about the

Halley's Comet
previous night when Halley's Comet visited Midas.
He had gotten a long pole about thirty feet in length. After fastening a bundle of
waste cloth on one end, he saturated it with oil then detonated a stick of dynamite
to wake the town.
After announcing the comet's coming, he raced to the hill top which was, more
or less, the proper direction for sighting the celestial wonder. He lit the torch and
proceeded to fake the miracle of the heavens. He did such a good job that
everyone, bar none, thought they had seen the famous comet.
Many of those who had walked a half mile or so to view Avery's Comet were
not entirely pleased about the hoax. In fact, some were outright mad. Others
chuckled at the joke played on them. After all, it put some excitement and fun into
a sometimes dull life of a remote mining camp.
Downtown Midas around 1928. Photograph from the Northeastern Nevada Museum
collections, Elko.
On April 28, 1910, the real comet was first sighted by the naked eye and was
seen nightly until the end of June. May 10 was the night it was closest to earth, only
14,300,000 miles away.
Midas was named for the legendary Greek king whose touched turned
everything to gold. Before that it was called Gold Circle and Summit, at different
times, of course.
Midas citizens have put together a museum in the old school there. It is worth
the trip to visit the town. Although there are still mining operations nearby, the
flavor and personality of the old mining camp are still there.

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Those of you coming to college for the first time will likely find that the skills necessary for academic success are different from those learned in secondary education (high school). Most importantly, you will be asked to take more responsibility for your learning and success, as well as scheduling and time management. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">This page lists some ideas and resources that may help.</span></h3>

<p style="vertical-align: top;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Studying is an intensely personal activity, and not everyone studies the same way--nor necessarily the same way for every subject. Identifying the environment in which you study best--time, place, background, tools--should be one of your major learning projects in college.</span><br /><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">There are, however, some commonalities in <em><strong>bad</strong></em> study techniques. Students at Washington State University put together this video discussing some of the issues involved in studying at the collegiate level.</span></p>

<td width="40%">
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Reading is not a simple skill. Information does not just pass from the page into the student. It requires the effort to place the information into a larger context, which means the reader must actively engage with the material being read.</span><br /><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">SQ3R stands for "Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review." This is one approach to active reading that is quite popular for college students who are confronting complex texts for the first time.</span></p>

STUDENT HANDBOOK
AND DAY PLANNER
2013-2014 Academic Year
GBC Student Government Association
www.gbcnv.edu
�TIME MANAGEMENT – DEFINITION
One of the keys to a successful college career is to have good time
management.
By definition, time management is the effective selection of the best task
from all those available and completing it to the best of your ability.
Making the right choices about how you spend your time is the most
important decision for you to make. The big payoff is that you can have
control of your life. Getting control starts with planning. The following
page is devoted to assisting you with panning your time schedule for
college.
Unlike the formal structure of a high school schedule, much of the time in a
college schedule can be very unstructured. You and you alone can control
the schedule that you choose. Many selections of the same class are offered
at various times of the day. It is up to you to select the time you want to
attend a section of a particular class. It is possible to arrange your schedule
so that you attend school on selected days of the week. In other words, it is
not mandatory for you to go to school Monday through Friday.
Because of the flexibility involved in your college schedule, it is important
to include other aspects of your life in your planning such as work, family,
commitments, and recreational activities. In fact, you are encouraged to take
into consideration all aspects of your life when planning your college class
schedule.
Planning study time is a key step to academic success. Most college classes
require far more study time than high school classes do. A general rule of
thumb to follow when setting a time schedule for each class is plan on two
to three hours of study per week for each hour of class. For example, a
three-hour class may require up to nine hours of study per week.
If you work:
40 hours per week
30 hours per week
20 hours per week
5 to 15 hours per week
Take no more than:
6 credits
9 credits
12 credits
14-16 credits
Blank time management schedules are provided for you on the following
pages. Please use them. More importantly, revise your schedule once the
semester begins if it is not meeting your needs. Effective time management
plays a key role in your success at GBC. Please see a counselor if you are
having difficulty with your planning. The phone number for an
appointment with a counselor is: Elko 775.753.2168, Ely 775.289.3589,
Winnemucca 775.623.4824, Battle Mountain 775.635.2318, and Pahrump
775.727.2000. Remember that your success in college is important to us,
and we are here to assist you.

2.
Plan Ahead (Schedule it and it will happen)
a. Determine how long your tasks will take and schedule it
b. Try to combine activities

with A item being highest priority
b. Set goals for both the short term and long term
c. Look at your “to do” list to gauge the time requirement for
each item and whether additional resources will be needed to
accomplish them
4.
Avoid Overload and Take Care of Yourself
a. Include time for rest, relaxation, sleep, eating, exercise, and
socializing in your schedule (College is more than studying.

and punctual, prepared and eager to learn.)
33
�6.

need to be able to fit it into your schedule
b. Know how to rearrange your schedule when necessary (so it
doesn’t manage you, manage it)
c. Know who to ask for help when needed
7.
Have a vision (why are you doing all of this?)

Advice to YOU from Students from COT 151 Last Semester
At the end of COT 151 last semester, I asked students to provide
advice to YOU, the students in this class this semester. Here’s
what they recommend for you to be successful in COT 151.
•
My advice to future COT-151 Students would be, to be prepared. It is very helpful
to complete the in-chapter exercises. This class requires your time and focus,
just like any other. I have used Word at work and at home, and thought this class
would be a breeze. You will be surprised by the amount of things this program
can do. Good luck and have fun with it.
•
Dear Future COT 151 Students,
RUN... RUN AWAY... AS FAST AS YOU CAN! Just kidding! My advice is to be
prepared for a lot of work. This is a condensed course and you have many
assignments each week. I would also suggest that you pay careful attention to
the discussion due dates, the first post is due three days before the two posts to
other students, so if you are doing them by the due date that's shown it will be
late. I really enjoyed the class and what I learned. I have used Word for several
years and thought that this class would be easier than it was, but you'll be
grateful for the knowledge and how you can apply it to what you're doing. Good
luck and enjoy!
•
My advice would be to study hard and make sure you do all of the exercises in
the book. This is a compressed course and it can become very frustrating at
times, however, it is a fun course and can be very helpful in the workplace or at
home. Pay attention to the discussion areas as they are due BEFORE the actual
assignments. I have really liked this class and am looking forward to continuing
the book. Oh, don't forget your professor, she is there to help and will whenever
she can. Good luck to all!
•
My advice is to pay close attention to the rubrics for each individual assignment,
as well as the due dates and times. I've regrettably missed several assignments
due to missing the deadline by only a few minutes. Allot yourselves enough time
to complete your assignments well before they are due, just in case you run into
a problem and need extra time to figure your way through it.
•
My advice to future students, first of all, would be to pay close attention to
assignment due dates, I mean close attention ha. I read the assignment due date
and it went in one eye and out the other and missed turning in my first
assignments. Second would be to allow yourselves plenty of time to complete
your assignments. This to me was a hard one working 8:00-3:00, getting home
taking care of a 21 month old, doing chores, then my homework. I felt like I never
�had time. But hey it can be done, so my advice would be to give yourself plenty
of time to complete assignments that way you can ask for help for those
assignments that give you a hard time.
•
I work from 5:30 am to 5:30 pm and have a 3 year old. It was tough but I found
my groove. I pretty much made sure all my homework for the next week was
done on the weekends during nap times, that way I did not have to worry too
much about it during the workweek. I would make a list of any questions that I
had as I went then I would email the instructor on Sunday night then that gave
me until Wednesday to make the corrections needed.
•
My Advice for new COT-151 students is to motivate yourself to finish
assignments, with simple things like post-its at the end of each chapter, like “well
done!” and “you finished, congratulations!” Time management was a big one for
me. It is extremely important to have a strong will, and use an agenda to
schedule yourself to finish important things, like homework, etc. It is a
compressed class, but the good news is that time goes by very quickly and you'll
have learned a lot of interesting functions in Word.
•
My advice for the future COT-151 students would be don't give up. Read your
materials, do the practice exercises and don't be afraid to ask for help. You have
to be prepared and manage your time wisely. Good Luck!
•
My advice for COT 151 students is to be on top of the assignments and reading.
This class has a lot of information in a limited amount of time. They should make
sure they read the chapter thoroughly and don't wait until the last minute to start
their assignments. They should start their assignments with enough time that
they can ask questions if needed. Making sure they understand what they are
reading is key in doing the assignments properly. The exercises in the chapter
are very helpful in making sure you understand the material. Be prepared to work
hard and enjoy what you learn!
•
The advice I would give the students who take this class next is to ask questions
and practice the setting tabs portion of the book extensively. I really enjoyed this
class and the teacher was very helpful with all aspects of the course. Stay
focused and use the video record option for discussions as it will give you
practice with public speaking as well. Good luck students! One more thing, make
sure you have the latest version of the Word software!
