Douglas County Lead Mines.

4. e. Pratt came in from POGO
TEMPO Monday and made flying
trip to lessen & Wilder's mine in led
Canyon, where they are erecting a
concentrating plant similar to the one
now in operation at POGO TEMPO. IN
both places there are large bodies of
lead-silver ore that win scarcely pay
transportation and smelling charges;
but which viii yield handsome profit
by crushing and concentrating. At
POGO TEMPO ore worth 500 per ton
and over is sacked and shipped, while
all ore of less value is put through the
mill and reduced to concentrates.
Jessen & Wilder will adopt the same
policy, and it now looks as though
Douglas county will have at least two
paying lead mines.

Looks Like Our Next Assemblyman

Fred Heise, regular Silver-D Demo-
cratic nominee for Assemblyman, has
his announcement in this issue of the
COURIER. Mr.. Heise is too wel1-known

nearly all his life. He is representa-
tive citizen, a heavy taxpayer, and
his word is as good as his bond. He
was nominated by the fusion conven-
ton by reclamation, and without So
licitation on his part, therefore the
members of his party and his neighbors
and friends should give him strong
support, for it can be truly said in
his case that the Office sought the man.
You will make no mistake in voting
for Mr.. Heise for Assemblyman.

The Silver Lake House, on the ANA
dor road, was burned to the ground
Friday night. The people who run
the place during the summer months
had moved out for the winter that
morning and some campers had camped
there for the night. They built large
fire'in the fireplace and about O'Clock
they discovered the roof on fire. The
house was the property of the Placer
vile Ditch Co., and was built about 80
years ago for dance hall. 1t was the
largest and best hall in that section.
1t will not be rebuilt.
The farmers held meeting Satur-
day in Gardnerville and decided to
build a new dam at the lower end of
Sunset lake in Alpine county and put
in IS feet of 1S-inch pipe to drain the
lake. The lake is one of the reservoirs
used by the farmers to store water for
irrigation. Men will be put to work
on the new dam as soon as the pipe ar
rives from below 1t is expected that
the dam will cost about $500. Other
dams for storing water which will be
rebuilt in the next few years will cost
from 81, 900 to $4,000 each. Some of
the dams will be 35 feet high and
others only 20 or 25 feet.

ing out several hours the jury returned

about $4,000. The defense appealed for a

of appeals. Ex-Gov David b. Hill argued
the case of the people before that tribunal
In June, 1901. and John G. Milburn of Buff
falo presented the case of the appellant

versed by the court of appeals mainly
upon the ground that the evidence as to

pecially il was her wish to conceal it..
After hurried and vain endeayor to thrust
1t in drawer she was forced to place 1t,
open as 1t was, upon table. The address,
however, was uppermost, and, the contents
thus unexposed the letter escaped notice.
