Yesterday Mr.. G. NJ. Roy, the auc-

arrived in this city. He will be found
at that place of business when the adj

the Carsonites of all kinds of bargains
until the entire stock is disposed OF.

Wire BaiIing

There is a general COMPLAINT am Is
the people who have to buy bale.
nay, on account of the practice OF tie
bailers using wire instead of rope. The
old fashion rope is good enough for
anybody, and it was bad day for
everybody in general when some Ia
Dor saver found that he could pu.
wire on the hay.
When the infrenal stuff is cut from
the bales, it kicks around the yard
and becomes a general nuisance. MOI
cattle have been killed by the small
pieces of wire being cut and the ami
mails getting il il their stomachs.
This happens when the wire is cut
near the knot, as it leaves a small
piece which becomes detached and is
picked up by the animal when feed
ing. The loss OF one good COW or horse
would more than pay for all the bali
ing on ranch in year.
If some hay yard man will announce
that he carries only hay that is bailed
with rope, he would double his trade
as there is not patron that does not
complain when they cut the danger.
Gus wires. The cutting process is
generally one OF anything but joy, as
the man that receives it has to resort
to All ak to knock the wires apar,

he is out of patience and ready to fight

FLORESTON
POWER
PROJECT TO BRING IT TO
THIS CITY
Interested People Visit This
Section

Some time ago the Appeal stated
that the Floriston Electric Power Com
pany would come into this city VITA
their wires and distribute the power
throughout this city. This seems to
be the case. and it is likely that trans
actions will be made in a few days
that will make it \ reality.
Yesterday, Mr. Fleishecker, of the
company, Mr.. Kirman and Judge Mack
arrived in this city. They made trip
to the Adams plant on the river,
where they figured ON the value of the
plant. Should the figures meet the
approval of both parties the transfer
will take place and the new comp ANY
will use the wires of the old with the
improved service that will come from
their sub-station.
With this power there is a chance
OF other Industries starting. The ser
vice will be equal to any on the coast
as is demonstrated by the service in
Reno. All day and night service will
be installed, and it is proposed to bet
ter the system in every detail.
With the Floriston people in this
| city, it is safe to say that the light
| service will be more generally used
as Mr. Adams has been handicapped

lance. 1t takes close fgureing &c

Upon the first visit OF the FloristoI
people some months ago, they mad.

1t is not mater OF very great eS

The FLOODED
LEVELS
WASHOE LAKE May BE
SOURCE OF WATER
A Correspondent to the Report
Makes the SUGGESTION

A correspondent of the Report ad-
vances the theory that as the altitude
of Washoe lake is 400 feet above that
of the outlet of the Sutro tunnel where
it debouches on the plain east OF the
Comstock, that the extension of tn
tunnel through Mount Davidson and
as far west as the lake would tdrain
that body of water, which, he asserts
is the source through which the low
er levels of the Comstock mines are
flooded.
AS Washoe lake represents the wa
tershed of the Sierras' on the ives.
and the almost equally lofty mount
aims on the east, of which Mount Da-
wilson is the highest peak, forming a
natural basin for it's reception at the
point of in Washoe valley where the
lake is situated, the suggestion IS
worthy of consideration. If the lake
is the source from which the water is
derived that floods the lower levels
OF the Comstock, the drainage Of tina,
body of water through the Sutro tun
| mel would obviate the necessity OF
| maintaining costly pumping plants on
| the lode after the levels below the
Sutro tunnel floor were drained.
The Report correspondent evident. :
| overlooks the fact that the attitude OF
| the plain east of the COmstOck is
nearly 1000 feet below that of the
groupings of the lode and that it is
the receptacle of the water shed OF
the lofty range of hills marking its
northern and southern boundaries
1t was further demonstrated by a
shaft sunk at the outlet of Six-mile
Canyon by placer miners 25 years ago
that there is considerable body OF
water at depth of 120 feet below tht
surface. This statement is not made
| to discourage the assumption of tn.
Report correspondent that Washo>
lake is the source from which the Con-
stock mines are flooded, who may il
! support OF his theory contend tina
the water struck in sinking the shal
at the outlet of Six-mlle Canyon ais;
represents seepage from the lake
The foregoing suggestion is respect
fully submitted to the consideration
of the management OF the Comstocl
: mines and the Sutro tunnel directors

a few pennies find the locality and
mingle with the children in an endeav-

the children are of the poorer class,
and they cnrry market baskets which
are filed with tempting though rather
dry cakes, cookies and other articles
of pastry. The usual price for bas-
ketful is cents. During the daytime
people with baskets call ut all hours
for stale bread, which is doled out at

kets have been filed the children
trudge homeward, usually munching
on piece of cake or nlbbling sparing-
