gress. Over fifty of the defendants
in the Miller 4 Lux suit have signed
the agreement read at the last meet

For Sheriff and Assessor.

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of F. Q. Stickney for the
Office of Sheriff and Assessor of Lyon
county. Mr.. Stickney has been a
resident of this section of Lyon coun-
ty for about twenty years. He is a
young man of family, and is one of
the successful ranchers of this Sec
ton. Mr.. Stickney announces him
self as an independent Republican.
He will expect the vote of this party
in the county, and won't object if he
gets some Democratic or Silver Party
votes. This is the first time he has
asked for consideration at the hands
of the people. Mr.. Stickney has nu-
merous friends in this section who
hope he may be successful, and
should he be the winner, there is no
doubt that Lyon county will have a
capable man in the office of Sheriff
and Assessor.

Bmnortant Strike.
attend.

We are informed that the strike
of ore made in the crosscut on the
4oo-foot level of the Ludwig mine re-
Gently has now widened out to six
feet, and that the ore is of high grade.
The ledge may be wider than six
feet, but it has only been gone into
that distance at the present time.
This is one of the most important
strikes ever made in this section. No
other development work has reached
depth of 400 feet, and it has been
claimed by some that no ore would
be found at that depth. The Ludwig
people have proven this theory a
false one, and demonstrated that the
ore goes down, in the Ludwig, at
least, to depth of 400 feet. This fact
ought to encourage others to sink on
their claims The shaft in the Lud-
wig will now probably be pushed on
down to water level-say 100 feet
deeper-and another crosscut run to
see if the ledge shows up at that

Bad Accident.

While hauling some large timbers
to the Nevada Chief mine, at Rock
land, last Tuesday, the wagon, tim
bers and team went over the grade
in the canyon near the mine. The
driver, Jesse Hilligus, jumped in
time to escape injury. The wagon
was considerably smashed up and
one animal in the team was badly
cut up. The animal will not die,
however, and the wagon can be fixed.
1t was lucky for the driver that he
did not lose his life.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Crossed the River.

Yesterday morning the sad news
was announced here that Mrs. w.
II. Spragg had died at her home on
the ranch at about II o'clock Thurs
day night. She had been suffering
for several weeks past from an at
tack of paralysis, and for some years
past had suffered greatly with rheu-
matism. Mrs. Spragg was one OF
the oldest residents of this valley and
was dearly beloved for her kind and
charitable deeds. She was a native
of Illinois, aged 70 years. In the year
1855 she married w. H. Spragg in
her native State, and in 1859 came to
California with her husband, where
Mr.. Spragg engaged in mining. In
1868 Mr.. and Mrs. Spragg came to
Nevada and located in Carson Val
ley, where they resided for year
before moving to Mason Valley,
where they have resided continuous
ly since that time. In those days
this country was lightly settled, and
Mrs. Spragg acted as doctor and
nurse for many family and indi-
vidual, endearing herself to all with
whom she came in contact. She
leaves to mourn her loss a husband,
not in the best of health, a daughter,
Mrs. G. T. Martin, of this valley, and
as grandchildren George Martin,
Mrs. M. E. Leavitt and Frank and
Eltha Martin, besides a host OF
friends. The funeral will take place
from the residence on the ranch to.
day at IL m. Friends are invited to
attend.

The Fuslea Ticket.
Tonopah

The Democrats and some others
who met in convention in Reno this
week, after laboring until Wednes-
day night to fuse, got together
Thursday and nominated the follow
ing ticket:
Congressman-C. D. Van Duzer, of
Humboldt.
Governor-John Sparks, of Wash
oe.
Lieutenant Governor-Lem Allen,
of Churchill.
Supreme Judge. w. Talbot, of
Elko.
Attorney General-James Swee-
ney, of Ormsby.
Secretary of State-Eugene How
ell, of White Pine.
State Treasurer-David NJ. Ryan,
of Storey.
State Controller-Sam Davis, of
Ormsby.
Surveyor General-K. D. Kelley,
of Washoe.
State Printer-Andrew Maute, of
Nye.
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion-J. E. Bray, of Washoe.
District Judges-First District,
Vim. Woodburn; Second District,
B. F. Curler, Jr.; Third District, P.
Breen; Fourth District, G. S. Brown
Fifth District, S. Bonnifield, Jr.
From the above it will be seen that
the fusionists had to almost break
into the Republican ranks to get a
candidate for Governor. Mr.. Sparks
is a good, progressive Nevadan, and
it will take a good, hustling Repub-
lican to beat him.
If anybody can show us where
Lyon county gets anything on the
ticket we would like to have them
do so. Lyon county had couple of
candidates for positions-J. l. Will
son for Surveyor General, and John
Lothrop for District Judge. Lyon
county is the birthplace of the
Silver Party but three successive
conventions have turned her aspir-
ants down. If the above ticket car
ries Lyon county this year in will
only be done by the extravagant use
of money.

Such attacks are usually caused by
