JOHN q. FOX.
The FiOneer Merchant. EUtiHess
Established in 1860.

John G. Fox, the pioneer merchant,
has been thirty-six years in business III
Carson. He has had for that length of ,
time, and still carries, the largest stock
in his various lines in Nevada, and his
trade extends to the full limit. and be-
You'd, the territory commercially tribu-
tary to Carson. He has one of the few
fire-proof buildings of the State, and his
character and reputation as a merchant
and as a citizen are as staple and safe as
his building.
The stock carried by this old pioneer
house is so diverse in kind and variety
as to preclude the mention of more than
general lines and important specialties.
The house is recognized headquarters for
school-books and school supplies of all
kinds. The stock of library and miscel-
lancous books is very complete, espec-
tally in works suited to school and priv
| ate libraries, as we'll as in holiday books
of every description in their season. All
the leading periodicals of the United
States are carried and subscriptions are
received. III office supplies the line is
very complete, including blank books,
all filing devices, inks, mucilage, pens,
letter and pencil tablets, etc. In addition
to carrying in stock everything usually
found in a tirSt-claSS book and stationery
store. Mr.. Fox is a dealer in small must
cal instruments, sheet music, including
both classic and popular, and supplies
organs and pianos to order from the best
makers in the United States. An i'm
pOrtant specially is the very complete
stock of wall paper, curtains and interiol
decorations. The amount of goods car
ried in these lines is sufficient to stock
an exclusive wall paper store.
Among other important lines. mos
worthy of mention we note sewing ma
cnines and supplies, firearms, ammuni
ton, Peck & Snyder's American Gu
skates, fishing tackle, pipes and smok
er's articles in great variety, sportin;
goods and a very complete stock of holi
day goods. Watches, clocks. sterling an
, important specialties. This department
= is presided over by a skilled watch re
pairer and jeweler, but like other depart
7 ments is Under the general manage
e ment of Mr.. Fox personally.
5 In concluding our too brief mention c
this immense stock, we are justified i
t saying that Mr.. Fox is able to fill

Successors to z. ii. Petersen
DealcarS In Hay. Grain. and
Feed. The old Sacramento
Hay Yard.

When measured by the non it pays
out to the farmers of the State and by
the amOut of produce handled by this
firm, it appears to be the most important
agencies between the farming producers
and the mining of Nevada.
1t is worthy Of note too hat the transfer
of the products of the fields of Nevada to
the mines of Nevada. and to Carson and
Virginia City consumers, is made by this
firm largely without the Intervention Of
the railroad.
The firm runs three tweIve-hOrse
freight teams between Carson City and
Virginia City for the transportation of
hay and grain. One hundred and four
bales of hay are hauled at a load and
twelve Ons of grain are hauled at a load.
The amount of hay bought and sold an
nually aggregates about twenty thousand
bales and of grain two thousand tons. 1t
may be added that the firm also sells
grain and hay in Carson at wholesale and
retail and that they conduct a feed yard
and sales yard.
There is perhaps no other single agency
tHO CA1lldiiSC VI lHO pIObuCbS VI -Nc-
vada that is so advantageous and eco
nomical as the method employed by this
firm. 1t is a rule of Petersen & SPRING
meyer to pay the top of the market for
all produce, and to make their margin of
profit from the ~freighting Of it to the
mines and to other markets.
Petersen & Springmeyer succseded to
the business of p. II. Petersen in 1895.
Their place of business at the old Sacra-
mento Hay Yard is one of the best known
places in Carson. The firm has an ample
capital for all the needs of its business
and is popular alike with the farmers
and ranchers and in business circles.
p. H.. Petersen is a German by birth,
but has been a number of years in Ne
vada and is we'll liked. c. H. Spring
meyer is a native o and previous to
his becoming a member of this firm, de-
voted his time for the greater part to
r%anching. He is widely known among
the farmers and ranchers, and the conf
dence reposed in him is no small factor
in tbs firms success in business.

CALIFORNIA & NEVADA MARKET
". H. Chedic, Proprietor.

w. H. Chedic is a native of the Empire
State. and a son of one of the early
pioneers to the gold fields of California.
He came west when a mere babe, and to
him belongs the distinction of being the
pioneer butcher of Carson, and one OF the
first of the State. He camped upon h
present site of Carson before the town
was laid out, and in 1874, when the settle"
ment was still in embryo, he opened the
pioneer butcher shop of the place. MI
Chedic was probably also the youngest
merchant in the State, as well as being a
pionepr in his line of trade. He engaged
in business at the age OF fourteen he
was for some years out of the Hutcherlhs
! business, during which time he followed
the grocery and drug trade, but in 1879 ne
returned to his first choice.
Mr.. Chedic is now proprietor OF the
fine. modern market known as the Cali
fornia & Nevada Market, and handles all
kinds of fresh meats, beef, veal, pork
mutton, poultry, fish and game in season
In connection with the market is an i'm
proved sausage factory, operated by
l water power, where all kinds of sausage
= is made, and patrons of this market may
I have the finest grade of sausage frest
$ every day.
The slaughter-house is located well GU
3 of town and is supplied with all con.
veniences and appliances for handling and
cleaning. The market is equipped SC
l that meats may be given the best of care
a wagon is run for the delivery of al
goods sold in the city, and the location o
the market on South Carson street, is
eligible to all.
, In conclusion it is proper to state that
Mr.. Chedic's long and honorable career
l. as a business man and citizen of Carson
=, has given him an enviabie reputation fol
y fair and honorable dealing, and the
esteem of all who know him.

Liyeryuan, Stage-man. Zee Dealer
The name of DR.. J. NJ. Benton has been
prominently before the public for more
than q quarter of a century. Besides hay-
ing been i'll the stage and livery business.
and in wholesale and retail dealing in ice.
he has been a leading citizen and prop
erty owner in Carson for that length of
time.
DIR. Benton is also widely known in
connection with his stage line to Lake
Tahoe. The famous whip, Hank Monk.
was a driver on this line for many year.
and took his final departure from DR..
BentOn's home when he quit the Lake
Tahoe Line to accept a position as char
lOteer ON the golden streets of the new
Jerusalem. Monk and the Doctor We're
warm friends, and among the souvenirs
of that friendship still possessed by the
Doctor are the watch presented to Monk
by admiring friends and a scrap-book
containing scores of newspaper clippings
relating to Monk.
The livery stable has %turnOuts, both
double and single, for city and suburban
irving, and fine carriages for the use of
ladies calling or of parties desiring to see
the city and It's various points of interest.
A speciality is also made of keeping turn
outs for the use of commercial travellers
and hunting parties.
DIR. Benton has been thirty-two years
in Nevada and his acquaintance with the
country and the people adds to the value
of his stable as headquarter for those
having horses to sell. The facilities for
taking care of horses and showing them
are uneXcelled by any stable in Carson
City, while the location of the stable is all
that could be desired. Parties looking
over the country either with a view to
settlement or of investment cannot do
better than to call upon him.

kins county, N. Y, in 1897, and is des-
cended from patriots of the Revolution.
soon after finishing his education young
Benton settled in Wisconsin, and in 1862
entered the Federal army from that
State. He was connected with the med
ical department until 1864, when he re-
signed on account of impaired health.
and crossed the plains to Nevada. He
made his first stop at Dayton, where he
practiced medicine for a short time, but
finally, gave up his profession for A
active business life.

d. G. kITZNEEI Err
Manufacturer and Dealer In Har
ness. Saddles and Saddleware.

This is another one of the old houses
of Carson. The name of D.. G. kitzmeyer
has, for over thirty years, been as closely
identified with the harness and saddlery
trade Of Nevada as any other name with
in it's borders.
Mr.. kitzmeyer established his business
in Carson in 1865, and has been almost
continually in business since that date.
In the palmy days of Nevada he had a
considerable force of skilled wOrkmen.
and has always carried a complete line Of
eastern, western and homemade goods.
Mr.. kitZmeyer's present stock is one of
the largest in the State, and is, in the best
grades largely of his own manufacture
He carries a well selected stock of har-
ness, saddles, horse furnishing goods,
gentlemen's driving gloves, buggy and
carriage robes and turf goods of every
description. He carries an exceptional
quality of eastern goods, while the char
acter and quality of the work he makes
to order is unsurpassed in either the east
or the west.
Mr.. kitZmeyer'S sale of harness is
largely local or confined to the country
surrounding Carson. Saddles are sold to
a much greater distance and largely
among cattlemen. 1t may be added that
Mr.. Kitzmeyer's long and honorable
business career is the best evidence the
public could have of fair and honorable
treatment i'll dealing with this we'll
known house.
d.. g.. kitzlneyer came to Nevada fram
Baltimore, Md, in 1863, and established
his business two years later. He retired
from business in 1891, but resumed again
in '93. He is a property owner and real
estate holder and dealer and is esteemed
one of our most valued and influential
citizens.

SHkW'S Eg9T' SPRINGS.

Carson City is known to the outside
world for the beauty of its situation and
as the Capitol of the State. A gem in the
Eagle Valley, with wonderful natural
attractions, and a salubrious climate, it
should, become. even more than it is, a
resort for the devotee of pleasure and the
health seeker. 1t is not generally known
which flows mineral water possessing
merits second to none on the continent.
Yet this is so; and its virtues have been
long recognized by the people Of Nevada
and tourists who have come here to col
lect souvenirs or to spend a few days in
relaxation.
The fountain of eternal youth, for
! which the over-credulous De Leon
searched in vain, was a creation of imag-
ination and a m yth, but it is a fact that
here are hot mineral springs which pos
sess medicinal properties instrumental
in restoring health and in ~prolonging
life.

emigrants to California in 1919 or 80
The medicinal virtue of he water was
, not known for years after. and it was no.
until 1880 that bath houses and accom-
modations for patients and pleasure

An analysis of the water shows it t.
