A Lnekless Fisherman.

The expert campers and fishers,
Johnson, Briggs and Nelson, who left
here last week, have not been heard
from, except by wireless telegraphy.
From this source 4 sorrowful tale comes
of one of the trio. While passing
through Walker river canyon south of
Antelope Valley, Nature fiirted SO
facetiously with the party of pleasure
seekers that they all rolled out of the
wagon to try their luck fishing. Gill
bert Briggs, commonly known In his
fishing suit as "Gib," was soon far up
stream IN the shade Of bunch OF will
lows. He caught big trout and a
sucker, strung them on a string and
laid them in the water BY and by he
caught another sucker, and took the
string from the water to put him with
the rest. The trout lay dormant and
docile as Glib united the string; but in
his other eye, on the other side and
away from Glib, there was a scarcely
perceptible wink. just as Glib was
holding the string delicately between
his finger and thumb, to thread, as it
were, the sucker, the trout gave a con-
vulsive convolution, like little Egyp-
tan in circus. When Glib wiped the
mud and water out of his eyes, he and
two gasping suckers were alone to-
gether. Glib stared and gasped and
they stared and gasped. Away cut in
the river, twenty yards away, there
was an arrowy movement in the bill
lows, a bird twittered from the branches
of pine tree and the rocks on the
rivers brim leaned up against each
other and laughed. Our reporter says
Glib looked "pied," and as picturesque
as female trans-continental bicyclist
with a busted bike beneath her wing
p. S-When Glib returned to the
wagon he said never a word about the
big trout Fish stories are good almost
anywhere except among fishermen
On the river fish story knocks the fat
of amicability into the fires of mere
dulity in no time, and Glib didn't want
to be called down by two veterans like
Nelson and Johnson.

RED CANYON.
An Effort to made 70 Open the Mines.

Al EA2Sl 70 re lAfssss ~ open TIC AsAt4ASs
A G. Pratt came up from Carson
yesterday to consult with Gardnerviiie
people who are interested in Red Can
yon mines. A. G has had several
thousand dollars worth of experience
in that district and probably knows
more about the merits of the camp
than any man in the country. He be-
lieves that if the various individual
interests can be consolidated under
one general management, that work
can be performed at much less expense
and to better advantage for all CON
cerned.
If the several individual interests
can be pooled satisfactorily, local de-
velopment company will be organized
with Gardnerville as its place of bust
ness and some of our most prominent
business men as directors.
A limited amount of stock will be
sold on the BET. -per-month installment
plan, in the same manner as oil stock
is Sold and the proceeds devoted to
establishing small water power mill
at a convenient point in Red Canyon
and to general development work.
1t is estimated that there is now on
the several dumps and in sight, about
500 tons of ore that will mill from $40
to $500 per ton. In other words, that
from $4,000 to $4,000 in bullion can
be produced in the next year and that
this can be accomplished by co-opera-
ton, at fair profit to the stockholders
as Well as the owners of the mines. At
the same time the old works will be
cleaned out ready for inspection by
experts if they choose to investigate,
and some evidence of confidence on
the part of the owners of the mines
and people who live in the immediate
vicinity that will encourage outsiders
| to invest.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use of powders, acid

from the American shipyards on the
Delaware. She lay that morning In
Sydney's beautiful harbor with steam
up ready for sea- She was the best
available ship on that day In the South
Pacific. Thus II happened that this,
the most important mail ever sent out
from the commonwealth, was placed
on board the new American, twin-crew
steamer Ventura Of the Oceanic Steain-
ship company. and at 10 o'clock on the
morning Of August 10, 1901, his ma
jesty's mail started on journey that
was TO be one of the most remarkable
feats ever recorded In the history Of
transportation.
The Ventura Is an American ship,
built wholly Of American materials by
American workmen and manned by
American sailors. She is one OF three
sister ships, built at Cramps yard In
Philadelphia, each ship being AIS feet
long, Of 5000 tons burden, and having
5000 horsepower, twln-screw engines.
The Ventura IL not a giant, like some
OF the penlnsular and oriental liners
that run between England and Aus
tralia. She is a good, safe, fast, Amer
lean ship Of the Atlantic coastwise
type, the finest type in the world, be-
cause conforming TO the American
ideas of comfort. safety and speed.
From sydney the Ventura steered
straight east across the Tasman Sea
for Auckland on the east coast Of
North Island. one of the larger islands
Of the group forming the Colony of
New Zealand. The distance round the
northern end Of the island and down
the coast Is 1880 miles over a smooth
and pleasant sea and II is to the credit
OF the Ventura that she entered the fine
land-locked harbor OF Auckland on the
nth. and taking on freight, mails and
passengers sailed again at o'clock,
having mede the run from Sydney, in
Guiding stop, in four days and four
hours.
Now the Ventura's PROV was turned
to about N.N.E. into the mystic, fasc-
mating mid-PaciIlc, straight for Steven
