The Memorial Bridge.

Hon Frank Hume entertained a small
party of friends Mt an informal dinner in
Washington, at which plans were dis
cussed for inviting the corporation of
representative citizens Of that city and
the country at large in an effort to secure
action by Congress upon the bill to build
n memorial bridge across the Potomac.
The purpose is To form in Washington
the nucleus of an organization which will
reach out to all the States and To various
patriotic organizations for a united effort
to further the bridge project along the
lines approved by the Secretary of War
and the architectural plans already adop-
ted. 1t is hoped by these means to in
duce Congress to make a small appro-
priatiOn to commence the work. IL this
can be done the Grand Army Of the Re
public, at it's Coming reunion in Wash
ington, will lay the cornerstone for the
structure.

Manager McGill to start another from
the 200-foot level while the work Of
sinking goes on. By these means all

TURQUOISE Discovery In Nye.

Yesterday r. G. Humphrey, who is
visiting in this city, brought piece
of turquoise to a local jeweler for his
opinion on the specimen AS soon as
the piece was shown it was pronounced
the real article and it has about the
most perfect color in that particular
jewel that has ever been exhibited in
this section. Mr.. Humphrey, who owns
an interest in the mine that the speci-
men came from was agreeably sur
prised at the opinion of a number of
experts who took a look at the gem.
The mine is situated near Grow Springs
ION the road to Tonopah. and from the
work done on the claim it looks like
the turquoise mine viii mean about as
much as some of the famous mineral
deposits in Tonopah. The specimen
that was brought to this city for ex-
porting has been sent to San Fran
cisco, where 1t Will be thoroughly test
ed. For the real color that the an
clients and in fact the modern admir-
ers are looking for, is found in the
specimen that has been brought to
this city-Carson Appeal.

FALL PLANTING OF HARDY
TREES,

Without presuming to decide the
question authoritatively on the best
time to plant trees, spring or fall, I
would say that farmers should avail
themselves of both seasons, for hardy
trees like apples and pears can be
successfully planted in spring and au-
tumn. -
