Stole the Honey.

the mountains recently. discovered
bee tree. Mining operations were
suspended for the time. the tree was
felled and a goodly portion OF honey
was soon transported to his Genoa

strain it, and separate the wax from
the honey. Sad to relate, whole

it convenint to perform the interest

Fall Plantinu.

MIR. Pedroli, who is operating a
ranch east of Washoe Lake, is irving
a new experiment Last spring he
cleared number of acres of land and
planted to wheat The season was late
when the seed was placed in the
ground and only fair crop ripened.
The grain was raised without irrigation
and under the circumstances the result
was gratifying. This season he is re-
versing matters. He has just finished
planting winter wheat, which he be-
lieves will give him crop. The storm
OF the past few days has settled the
ground, thus preventing the seed and
loose earth from blowing away. His
experiment on this high, dry land will
be watched with interest. Should his
endeavor result in success it will cause
others to adopt his plan and also open
up hundreds OF acres that are now
covered with sagebrush.

Shot a Fortune Away

A local crack rifle shot said this
men belonging to Comstock military
companies practicing target shooting
and that they shot away more than a
ha1f-ton of lead monthly; that the
monthly cost of cartridges was prob
ably ST 900, assuming that each man
shot away S4 worth a month, which is
a conservative estimate. During the
eight years that number of men were
practicing target shooting fully $780,
600 was expended for cartridges. if the
above statistics are reliable.-Chron-
icle.
There is probably no eNaggeration
in the above statement. The Carson
Guards, when they were practc1ng
kept man busy loading ammunition
which was shot over the range. Dur
ing the time that a bulkhead was used
a monthly cleanup of lead was made
and it averaged half a ton. For many
wears the lead was wasted and shot INTO
the fields beyond To this day 1t is
a common thing to find slugs from the
old rifles along the route OF the tar
gets. MIR. Saffell, who runs gun shop
in this city, has used up ton OF the
metal and still continues to hunt tor
the metal For the past few years rifle
,ra ctict, has GONE to the boards IN this
section and it is not once year that
the old rifle shots gather and knock
out the bullseyes. The Carson Guards
| own splendid range north of this city,
but have used the place very little since
they purchased the property At the
| time that the Nevada sharpshOoters
were firing lead at the targets they
| led the world as marksmen.

Life of a Mine.

How long will a mine live? The
lead-silver mines in Western Greece
and the Rio Tinto copper mines are
probably the oldest working mines in
the world Both are known to have
been worked several years before the
beginning of the present era, the lead
mines $500 years ago and the copper
at least 1000. The Grecian mines still
yield thousands OF tons annually, and
the Rio Tinto is the third largest pro-
Queer of copper in the world, being
only exceeded by the Anaconda and
the Calumet and Hecla.-Denver In

The taxable property Of Storey has
fallen off in valuation sinre last year
to the extent Of $4,000. This means
a decrease in the county's revenues OF

YACHT RACE.
j. B. Redman's ssWave Crest, With
b. t. Sowle at the Helm, the Victor.

j. b. Redman's "Wave CREST, With
b. t. Sowle at the Helm, the Victor.
4 The race OF Ellsworth's thirty-five foot
ers last Friday was one OF the prettiest
ever seen in the bay. There we're some
surprises, some disappointments, some
mistakes, but there were no serious fiukes
and no accidents to the yachts.
The race was over triangular course Of
about six miles. The first leg was a
broad reach, the second ruiz and the last
a dead heat. The wind was fairly steady,
and the race was close enough through
out to be interesting.
| Capt. Joseph M. Higgins, Capt. Alex
ander Bonsey and James L. Cook were
| judges, and Burton 3. Walker.
| Though the race was for glory simply,
and intended to be for the five Ellsworth
yachts in this class only, when the knock
about "Dixie", owned by Mr.. Marshall,
of BIuehill, put In an appearance, the
hospitality OF the race was extended to
her.
The yachts started in the following
order: 'Wave Crest" j.. B. Redman,
owner, sailed by B. T. Sowle, first;
"Annie Lee," w. E. Whiting, second;
"MadelIa," l. M. Grant, third; "Dixie,''
Mr.. Marshall, fourth; "Lorelei," Frank
s. Lord, fifth; "Ramber," A. d. Stuart,
sixth.
As the time at the start WIS taken from
the gun, not from each yacht, the yachts
last away were considerably handicapped.
The "Lorelei" and "Rambler" were
especially unfortunate. The "Lorelen
made game fight for the race, and over
hauled all but the "Wave Crestn The
"Dixie" did not do what was expected Of
yacht built for racing. On the run and
reach several other yachts of the fleet beat
her, but the way she walked to windward
overcame this.
The latest addition to the Ellsworth
fleet, the "Ram bler,n did not show what
was in her. She was leaking badly and
with water over the cabin floor part of
the time, she OF course was sluggish.
The "Madella" seemed very tender.
The way she moved around before the
start made her look dangerous to the
other owners, but in the race she was
disappointing
The "Wave Crest" sailed a good race,
and was we'll handled. She deserved her
victory.
The time at the finish was as follows:
"Wave Crest" 1:10; 'Dixie," 1:13 40;
"Lorelei," :13 80; "Annie Lee," IT; 30;
"Ram bler," / 1910; ''Msdells," lis rs.
Already there is talk of another race
for prize early in September. In event
of such a race more time would be
afforded to time up the yachts. The
Rambler, for instance, went into the
race last week entirely unfit, and no fair
estimate of her speed could be made.
If another race is arranged, measure
ments for time allowance would be made,
and the starting and finishing time of
each yacht should be taken, SO that the
elapsed time OF each yacht fom line to
line and the corrected time from time
allowance could be computed.
The race probably would be open to all
yachts of the class in the county.
