spoiIs the Vegetation.

Some Of our exchanges are telling
about how the new copper smelling
plant, to be erected iii Lyon county,
will be the death of all vegetation
for miles around. There is no doubt
that the fumes produced from smelt-
ing the copper ore are injurious to
vegetation, and that green things
will sufferin the immediate vicinity
of the works. However, without the
enterprise the farm produce is of
little value. While injury may
come to some farms close to the cop
per reduction works, the benefit de-
rived from making a market will
more than offset this; and again,
the copper ore in the Mason Valley
district may not contain the arsenic
and other minerals that are found
in the Montana mines, which cause
the death of foliage.

Will it Imiure the Watere

With the starting up of the cyan
ide plant at the old Eureka mill
site, the question arises as to wheth-
err or not the water of the Carson
river below the plant will be injured
and rendered unfit for drinking
purposes. This question arises be-
cause the water supply for this
place is obtained from the Carson
river below the Eureka plant, and
the solution used in extracting the
metals from the tailings is deadly
poison. 1t may not be that enough
of the solution will escape into the
river to cause any damage, but to
be on the right side water taken
from the hydrants to be used for
drinking purposes, should first be
boiled.

The records of the S. p. at Reno
exhibit the fact that from January
1, 1897, to June 1, 1897, there have
been shipped to the California mar
ket from Mason Valley 17754 tons
of potatoes equaling $50 cars.-En.
The records don't show anything
of the kind; or if they do, the re-
cords are not correct. The potatoes
were shipped from Dayton, and
we're raised on the Italian ranches
on the Carson river, close to this
place. A few carloads only have
been shipped from Mason Valley.

three Nights Of entertainment.

The Stuttz Theatre Company ar
rived here Monday of this week
and opened in Odd Fellows Hall
with Jacks Lost Paradise" The
troupe is composed of j. G. Stuttz,
w. j. Peters, Fred Cutler, Eugene
Ray, Otto Wilkie, Nathan McBee,
Will Brown, Jas. Carter, Benz.
King, Will Hanes, E. Elma Stuttz,
Hattie Dickerson, Ivy Stuttz, Oracle
Huff, Mrs. Lecomte and Master
Harold Wilkie. The perform ance
given Monday evening was far
above the average given by troupes
visiting this State. The house was
com fortably filled. On Tuesday
evening the company presented
The Celebrated Case" 1t was put
on in excellent style, and the crowd
ed house greeted the performers
with numerous rounds of applause.
The company was only billed for
two nights, but by request stayed
another day, and Wednesday night
put on EAST Lynn" The house
was again crowded, the play was
splendidly rendered, and after the
performance social dance was
given, which lasted until midnight.
The Stuttz Company is good
one-the best that has ever visited
Dayton, and superior to nine-tenths
of the companies that visit Virginia
City, Carson and Reno. Stuttz and
his wife, Mr.. Wilkie and wife and
son, Harold. w. ]. Peters, Ivy
Stuttz, Miss Huff and Fred Cutler
are all well up in their business,
while the brass band and orchestra
of the company is not bad. Here
the people were hampered with
small stage and very few conven-
fences, but you cannot find a pc rson
in town who does not speak highly
of their performances. The com
pany played Thursday night and
last night in Silver City. and will
close there tonight In ''Uncle Toms
Cabin" On Monday night of next
week they will open in Yerington.

Renry Fisher Ends Rls Life with n
Pistol Bullet.


A few minutes before 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon this commun-
ity was shocked by the announce
ment that Henry Fisher had blown
his brains out. A TIMES reporter
Immediately visited the Fisher res
idence and there found a crowd of
people assembled, and the lifeless
body Of Henry Fisher sitting in a
rocking chair, his head leaning to
the left side and a gaping wound in
the right side of his head just above
the cheek bone and behind the eye.
The right eye was bulged out by a
bullet from 38-calibre Smith and
Wesson revolver passing behind it,
and the pistol lying in Mr.. Fishers
lap. The Justice of the Peace, act
ing as Coroner, summoned a jury
Immediately and after viewing the
body the jury held an inquest, at
which the testimony adduced was
as follows:
Mrs Henry Fisher testified that
Mr.. Fisher came home a little after
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He
was respondent because he could
not get work and said he would kill
himself. She tried to dissuade him,
but he went into the sitting room
and took his pistol from the bureau
He cooked it, and sat in the chair
for a few moments in study. Mrs.
Fisher went into the yard and a
few minutes after she was there she
heard u shot. She ran into the
house and found Fisher in the posi-
ton above described. She ran into
Mrs. Brooks house, next door, and
told what had happened. Mrs.
Brooks ran to the house and Miss
Addie Brooks ran to the hotel and
told what had happened. L. D..
riton who was near the Fisher resi-
dence when the tragedy occurred,
also ran into the house and saw
Fisher sitting in the chair with the
wound in his head and the pistol
in his lap"
Mr.. Fisher was native of Bava-
ria, aged "a years and few months.
He was an Odd Fellow, and held a
1000 policy in the A. O. u W.
When the news of his death was
learned the Brother Odd Fellows
took charge of the body and moved
it to the Odd Fellows Hall. They
will take charge of the burial, and
the funeral will take place to-mor-
row at 2 o'clock from the Court
House.
Mr.. Fisher has been a resident
of Dayton, off and on, for nearly 80
years. He was a millman, and
worked at his business whenever
work could be obtained. He has
been respondent for some time past
as he could not obtain steady en-
ployment and said he was in
straitened circumstances.
He leaves a widow to mourn his
loss and brother in Amador coun-
ty, Cal, besides host of friends.
Henry Fisher was an honest, up
right man, and the entire commun-
ity sympathizes with his widow in
her deep affection.
