Lyon County Mine Sale.

A mining deal was reccently consun,-
ated in Smith valley by some Ohio peo-
pie which may be of considerable import
ance to Lyon county. The Cuiahoga
mining company has purchased from F.
G. Everett group OF three mines in
Smith valley and preparations are being
made to develop the property quite ex-
tensively.
The purchase price Of the property is
$4,000 and the sale also includes five
stamp mill on the ground. The mines
are situated in what is known as Alksli
district, and are in the same range Of
mountains in which Como is located.
On one Of the claims tunnel has been
run recently to distance OF 125 feet.
This tunnel runs on the ledge and opens
up vein OF gold ore OF l to feet in
width. The Dayton Times says the CON-
pany intends to start at once to overhaul
the mill. 1t will be repaired and en-
larged and concentrator put in, and
later on, probably small cyanide plant
will be erected to work the tailings.
A small hosting works will also be erect
ed to enable the company to sink shaft
to the depth Of at least 500 feet to FUR
ther exploit the mine. This work will
be done this winter.

around Washington, nobody ever sus-
pected him of greatness, although he was
always on the lookout for the main
chance and got his name on the public
payroll at every opportunity-for long
time he drew pay as q laborer in the
folding room at the Capitol, hiring q
man, at half his salary, to do the work
but he got into Boss Hanna's good grac-
es, and lol he became First Assistant
Postmaster General; aud now he wants
to be Senator from Indiana. Should
that want be gratiisd, he will have to
have his hats made to order. His head
is already swelled out OF the recognition
Of many of his old friends.

When Al 900 Lacked Big.

Divide anything up into pairs and
you magnify it. A certain wise man
took this way to give his wife an idea
of how much 81 900 is. She had no
idea Of money. Her purchases were
enormous It happened one day that
her eye fell upon q magnificent ring,
and she coveted 1t. It cost 81. 600. But
what was 81, 900 to her in comparison
with the ring? OF course her husband
consented to the purchase. What else
could q dutiful, affectionate husband
do9 But be tried this method Of educat-
ing his wife concerning the great price
Of the ring. He instructed bis banker
to send her the 81 900 In small pieces
pennies. dimes, quarters. In came the
money, bagful after bagful. She never
had such an idea Of $1,000 before.
When the money was piled. before her.
it alarmed her. The price Of the ring
went up hundredfold, and was con-
sidered at once an extravaganza which
she of her own option abandoneds-

Water Storage.

Hon. VIM. M. Stewart made tour of
the East Fork with Fred Dangberg Sat
urday, for the purpose OF ascertaining
what could be done by establishing aux
ilary reservoirs in the valley. The Sen
ator was greatly interested and thinks
that if the arid and semi arid States
would unite, certain amount OF land,
say one million acres could be decided to
each State by the National Government,
and the money realized from their sale
be devoted to storing water in the sew
eral States. II this plan fails, some 9TH
er means may be devised The Senator
left for Carson Saturday evening, and
will shortly return to Washington.

How Miniatures Are Dsstrsysa.
The chief agent In the destruction of

direct rays Of the sun should never b
permitted to fall upon the portrait and
especially should it be remembered that
the glass Tor orystal) covers 70 the
miniatures. and the glass Of the cabinet
In which they are kept, ell help TO In
crease the powers Of the sunlight and
to give to its feeblest rays ability to ex-
ercise destructive force. Very many
lovely old miniatures have been prac-
tically ruined by light.
Hung upon wall or in = oass, they
are exposed to full sunlight. and the
carnations quickly fade, the value Of
all the oolors is reduced and whitened
and tho paler aud more delicate tints
vanish altogether. II the exigencies Of
space demand that q wall opposite q
window tthe worst position In = room

blind or curtain should bs supplied to

Wines Trys a Cinch.
A New Stage Line Will B,
Started.

Started.
Hans Jepsen, Wells Fargo 4 Cos
agent at Gardnerville, received the follow
ing notice from the company, Saturday
evening.
Mr.. w. E. GRIFFIN,
Route Agent, Reno.
Dear Sir:-In view of the fact that
Mr.. N. Wines, proprietor Of the Genoa
and Gardnerville stage line, demands
excessively high rates on freight
between those points, we will
close Gardnerville on the last day of this
month. You attend TO it. Mr.. Wines is
unreasonable in his demand.
Yours truly,
s. d. BRAsTows, Supt.
Mr. Wines who resides in California
holds number OF contracts on the Pa
cific Coast, and took those in Nevada for
such very low price as to make it i'm
possible for him to give good service and
make it pay. Many complaints have
been made and general dissatisfaction
has been expressed. The Wells, Fargo
4 Co. have no option in the matter but
have given Gardnerville daily service.
At this season Of the year with the
near approach of the Holidays, the pack
age business amounts to considerable,
and the contractor thought he could
force the company to raise the rates.
The action OF the company however,
makes it compulsory to leave the con-
tractor out altogether, and private
stage line will be established between
Gardnerville and Carson, which will
carry freight and passengers at popular
rates, il the company fail to adjust the
matter satisfactorily before the first Of
December

The king Of Wurttemberg may be re-
garded as hotel keeper as well as a
monarch. This has long been tradi.
ton In his family, but not until lately
was it discovered by the rulers OF the
beautiful little German kingdom how
profitable innkseping can become. When
Peter the Great was travelling incogntto
through Europe, he refused to stop any
where but ut an inn. To circumvent
this wbim the then king of Wurttem-
berg put q tavern sign outside one OF
the royal palaces aud. dressed as an
innkeeper, himself Welcomed the czar.

which representative gathering Of Gen.

He is conducting crusade in the inter
ests OF an old line insurance company
and after explaining the many advanta-
ges possessed by his company over the
other we'll known concerns, alluded to
assessment insurance and particularly the
Home Forum. And thereby hangs the
tale,
About two months ago, Mr.. Spencer
Of Reno, representing another insurance
company, ran amuck Of the Home Forum
man, Mr. A. B. Keaton, and they did
everything in their pUwer to advertise
the others business, and attempt to
show how worthless it was. Then the
Doctor entered the lists and Spencer re-
tired. The whole valley was stirred up
over the respective merits Of the several
life insurance companies. The seat of
war was transferred from Gardnerville
to Genoa. The Doctor engaged the
hall, and challenges were given and TAX
en-, when at last a vote was taken by the
audience, as to which proposition was
the most worthy. The members Of the
Home Forum were present and voted
solidly for Keaton; for the voting was
made, st. George VS.. Keaton. When the
votes we're counted it was found that st.
George had won by small majority.
