DOCTORS APPEALS ARE IN VAIN
Special to The Age-Herald.

Montgomery, Jan. 25--rhe county board of revenue and the county board of f-health held joint session in the office of the board of revenue at the court house yes- terday.
 The health board appealed to the revenue board to make some appropriation to stamp out the smallpox, which disease has assumed considerable proportions through out the county and city.
 The board of revenue fatly refused to lend any further assistance to the city.
 S0,OoO Expended
 During the epidemic last summer about 5000 was expended on the disease, half of which was paid by the county.
 Since Oct. 2S, when the disease took a new hold on the people of the city, prin- cipally whites, too, it has been necessary for the city to expend about $S,0o0 one third of which the county agreed to pay, and has paid; but, as stated, it. will ap- propriate no more.
 There are about 100 cases of smallpox at the pest-house and half many exposed people in the houses of detention.
 It is said two-thirds of the number of patients come from outside of the city limits, but within the police Jurisdiction. These of course belong to the county and not the city. Then, again, it is charged there are several in the pest-house who were driven from plantations in the coun- ty and told to come here, where they could be properly cared for as soon as their illness developed symptoms of smallpox. The city is exhausting every effort to stamp out the disease.

Two assays made by Mr.. 5. Paul yes

decomposed white quartz went SIS per
ton, while the hard white quartz gave
a result of s12 ton. So we are in ore
entirely. No footwall or hanging wall
is in sight. It ia only matter Of a
short time when tho West mine viii be
added to one of tho biggest paying
propositions and more Bonanza Kings

The cut on the Redeemer is about lO
feet in the hill and this claim will be
second to none in the district.
The shaft on the Richard mine Is % #.

shipped 1925 worth of copper years ago
from very small hole.
The road to the mines is built and a

Of walking to the mines. The townsite
will soon be laid out and this win be

to mouth.
During all OF the excitement, the lit

NEWS FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS.
Given a Rousine Farewell at Carr
son and Reno.

The Ist Troop, Nevada Volunteer
Cavalry, left Carson last Friday and ar
rived at Cheyenne Sunday afternoon to
be mustered into the U. s. service.
Through some confusion OF orders,
Lieut.. G. T. Bartlett arrived in Carson
from San Francisco the day after the
boys had left, for the purpose of mus
tering them in, but was too late.
The following letter from VIII Bruce,
dated at Reno last week Friday says:
1--WE have finally got started for Chey-
enne. We left Carson this morning at
1916 amid the waving of flags, the
booming Of cannon and showers of flow
ers and every one Is happy.
We arrived hero at II o'clock and
were escorted to the hall and treated to
fine lunch prepared by the Red Cross
society and they are also preparing q
fine banquet for US this evening. Wedo
not leave here until O'Clock this eyen-
ing and In the meantime the town is
thrown open to the volunteers.
There was some misunderstanding
caused by too much frewater and three
OF the volunteers were relies cd of their
uniforms on arriving here, but taking
the troop all through, finer lot of boys
could not be gotten together, and for
the length OF time they have been drill
ed, the Captain says they do as well as
he ever saw.
Before leaving Carson the troop was
presented with q fine silk banner, which
every member OF the troop Is very proud
OF and the majority OF them win sacri-
fee their lives If necessary to bring it
back honored. The entire troop was
also invited by the proprietor of Shaw's
hot springs to take free bath, which
was accepted by all. These are the
springs where Corbett trained for his
fight with Fitz. There is quite curl
osity there in the form of a mineral
spring the water of which, when mixed
with salt and pepper, makes very pal
atable chicken broth of about the
strength usually supplied by third class
restaurants.
