All the poles, wire, etc., for Il telephone
line from McGill's ranch on Duck Creek to
Ely are now ready, and the building Of the
line will commence as soon as the weather
will permit. 1t Is more than likely that
the line will be continued to Cherry Creek
next Summer.
The editor Of the News will leave to-
morrow morning for an Eastern trip, ex-
pecting to spend the holidays with his par

Deputy Sheriff Weldon reports that the
Elko County Livestock Association has
refused to allow himself and Clarence
Norman any compensation whatever for
chasing the two horse thieves a couple Of
months ago and recovering three of the
horses stolen from members Of the Asso-
citation. Mr.. Weldon still has the horses
and refuses to give them up until he is
paid for the hardships and risks which he
and his companion endured during their
long ride after the thieves.
Cherry Creek correspondence: On We'd
nesday morning the alarm was given that
the Teacup mill was on FIRE, the writer,
who is interested in the property, accom-
panied by Constable Pierce drove to the
scene only to find the mill and adjacent
property a mass of ruins. The fire was
without doubt of i~ncendiary origin. The
loss Of the mill is seriously felt by the
owner and is also a misfortune to the dis
trict, as it was contemplated to start up on
ore from some Of our newly de seloped
mines In the Spring.

DEATH OF JOHN b. RICE.

After q few hours illness, John b. Rice
died at Palisade last Saturday at about
half past four o'clock in the morning. He
was taken i'll soon after arriving at Palis-
ade OF the afternoon Of Friday. A sudden
sharp jerk Of the throttle on the engine
caused him to feel a severe pain in the
stomach, which increased to such an extent
that DIR. Hood of Elko was telegraphed
for, who, on arriving soon after midnight,
found that nothing could be done to save
him. An engine was Immediately gotten
out and sent to Eureka for his wife, but he
died before she arrived. He had been
suffering for several years with what is
known as engineers complaint" No
autopsy was held, but 1t was DIR. Hoods
opinion that the strain Of the sudden
wrenching referred to above probably
caused the breaking of an ulcer iu the
stomach.
With the exception of a few short inter-
walls he has been in the steady employ of
the Eureka & Palisade Railroad Company
ever since the opening of the road, and has
held the positisn of locomotive engineer on
the road for seventeen years. He was q
faithful and trusty employee and a worthy
citizen.
He was born at Nevada county, Califor-
MIA, and was within a few days Of reaching
his forty-sixth year. He was a member Of
Alpha Lodge No. 1, A. o. u. w.
He leaves a wife and an eleven-year.old
son. His father and mother and two
brothers, Eugene and Felix, all residing in
Eureka, survive him. His father is now
in his S4th year.
The funeral took place here last Monday;
interment in the Catholic cemetery.

Trespassing on your neighbours preserves
evidently does not apply to sheep pasture.
for on repairing to q reserve camp on Fish
Creek one of our sheep men lately found a
rival with his focks in serene possession.
Now water. in connection with good feed,
is scarce at this time and the reserver init
mated that, while glad at any time to re.
ceive a visit from q relative, he had not
expected to be honored also by the pres
ence of 5000 or 5000 sheep for Q week or
two; while possessing the pastoral hospital
ity of the biblical fathers he did not pro-
pose that the mess Of potage should be
hypothecated.

merely stopped to water, the fin de steele

ing that a case of smallpox had developed.
DIR. Lee immediately moved the patient to
the pest house on the premises, and placed

never gone beyond control, and it is SAT,

RAISING SQUADS.
Wherever 1t Has Been Properly Con.
Quoted, This Hus Been Founda
Profitable Industry.

The best pigeons for raising squads
are a cross between the runt and the
common pigeon. When these are not
readily obtainable the next best are
the common ones. The white ones are
preferable to the blue, for the reason
that the squads bring higher prices
usually, but otherwise one is as good as
another. Squads should be killed Just
before they are ready to leave the nest.
AT this time they are fatter, heavier
and tenderer than at any other. They
are killed by bleeding in the mouth,
and are usually sold unpicked and un-
drawn.
As the birds pair. it is necessary to
have as many males as females in order
to prevent constant quarrellng, and
each pair Of birds should have a sep.
arate nesting place
One OF the best ways of providing for
this Is to put up row of shelves and
divide them into apartments not less
than a foot square. Half Of the open
space should be covered with a board
to shelter the nests from the light.
A setting of eggs will be laid and
Matched every month except February.
This is the pairing month.
The best plan of feeding is in troughs
or hoppers, always feeding literally.
Gray peas, wheat and corn make good
ration, cracking the corn always; corn
alone is too fattening.
Provide plenty of pure, fresh water
where they can help themselves.
Cleanliness is essential to health
