gon, California and the other moun-
tain Stat s. 1t only remains for
those most interested to bring the
matter properly before the Japanese
Government to open up big market
for their animals
This is scheme for getting rid of
the range horses of Nevada, worth
looking into. 1t is bettsr than killing
them for their hides and tallow, and
beats canning them.
Japan is not the only country where
q market could be found The Chi
nsse Empire, also the Curean country
would afford great field for the OPP
erations, as horses are scarce in all of
these Eastern countries. 1t would
pay some of our Nevada range owners
to look into the marter even if an
agent had to be employed for tho pur-
pose.
Every few days an item appears in
the papers, where some one has taken
a carload of horses to New Orleans or
some southern point and disposed of
them at loss. If the same capital
was used in looking up the Chinese
agents in San Francisco, or even tax
ing trip to China or japan, an OPP
portunity might be found of disposing
of thousands of horses at good pro-
fit, says the Reno Journal.

The Austin Reveile says: Indians
are said to be killing sage hens all
over the country. This is wrong in
every sense Sage hens are now pair
ed off and in lhe midst Of the laying
and catching season, The sage hens
are poor and every hen kile now
means the destruction of from 6 to
II Young birds II is against tie law
for any one to kill sage hens before
the 10Th day Of July. This !aw APP
plies TO indians, although many peo-
pie believe Indians are exempt. 70
protect the game it is Indispensable
topreyent the Indians from shooting
the sage hens while laying and rais-
ing their broods. We call upon the
white people all over Nevada, and es'
peciallv in Lander County, to talk to
the Indians and caution them not to
kill any sage hens until the young
ones are large enough to fly good,
and are large enough to eat. II any
Indians are caught killing sage hens
until the young ones are large enough
10 fly good, tbeg win be prosecuted.

THE WILD HORSE NUISANCE.
A Market for Them Can lie Found i'm
Japaa

There is every probability that ow-
ners Of range horses could find y ready
market for them in Japan. Horses
are scarce in that country and in con-
sequence are in demand at good prices.
Since the close of the Chino-Japanese
war, the japanese Government has
been organizing its army. Hereto
fore only small cavalry company
force has been maintained, but it is
now believed that this will be greatly
increased.
Even the small range animals of
Australia have been considered, and
it is said that they are far inferior to
the range horses of the Western noun
tain States. 1t is said that japanese
residents of San Francisco are look
ing about with view of supplying the
needs of their Government,
President Tetsutrao Aoika, of the
Yokohama Specie Bank, of San Fran
Cisco, says: Undoubtedly the Ameri-
can horse will fill all requirements.
The horse most suitable for the
japanese cavalry" he said "should be
as tough as rawhide, not over gentle
and net too dainty in the matter of
fodder. I would unhssitatingly say
that the best horses for the home
Government could be selected from
herds that thrive SO well on the plains
of Eastern Washington, Eastern Ore

The State of Nevada is enjoying a
large share of the attention of capital
lists who are looking for good mines,
of which there are many that have
heretofore been considered almost
worthless, for various reatons, though
really they are valuable properties.
Capital has begun to flow in, and in
the near future Nevada will be on the
up grade again. -Bodie Minsr-In-

AN oLo-TIME RIVER TRAGEDY.
Burning OF the Martha Washington
to Obtain the Insurance.

Burning OF the Martha Washington
TO Obtain the Insurance.
A steamer called the Martha Wash.
ington left the Cincinnati docks late
in the night OF January !. 1852. She
was heavily freighted with a cargo
consigned TO New Orleans and the
markets OF Texas and California. In
her cabin were thirty passengers.
When seven days out, on the coolest
night known to river men, she burned
to the waters edge, off Island Sixty
FIVE, in the Mississippi River. Despite
the loss of sixteen lives, together with
the cargo, the catastrophe excited no
more comment at the time than many
like disasters. In time, however, the
captain and others were charged with
burning the bout to secure insurance.
In a famous trial they were acquitted;
but belief in their guilt remained gen.
eral.)
On the witness stand is the pilot,
Lewis Choate. II was at the wheel
when the Martha Washington burned"

the engineer shouted back to me hat
there was no fire. the flames flashed 10
