MOUNTAIN HEROES
DARING DEED
Rescue of a Camper From
a Runaway
Steed.

Claude Hardy, vaquero in the em-
ploy of the Hickey Land & Cattle
Co., while returning from Round
Valley, last Sunday, was fortunately
able to save the life of Miss Stella
Maybury, of Bodie, who was on u
camping expedition in that section.
1t appears that Miss Maybury had
mounted saddle horse that had never
been ridden by lady before. The
horse started to run and the young
lady dropped the lines to hold on to
the saddle, when the horse became
frantic and dashed down the rocky
road at breakneck speed. Mr.. Hardy
saw the plight of the young lady and
putting spurs TO his horse, dashed in
pursuit, overlook the runaway horse
and pulled the young lady from
the saddle, just as her horse plunged
down rocky bank into the lake. The
young lady tainted from her scare and
was borne to her frightened relatives
by the gallant Mr.. Hardy. Eye
witnesses of the episode are loud in
their praise of the brave act oi Mr..
Hardy, who took his life in his hands
to rescue the young lady, as the road
down which he dashed with all the
speed of his famous horse, is noted for
being one of the toughest roads In the
county. With the native bashfulness
of all heroes, Mr.. Hardy, rode away
before the young lady recovered from
her fainting spell and in fact before she
knew To whom she owed her thanks.
We take great pride in giving to the
world the noble need of a brave man.

IS FILLING Up
Number of Convicts Is
NOwLargest for Many
Years.

The number of eonviets now in the
State prison Is the largest for many
years. The Carson News says that
when Warden Considne took charge OF
the penitentiary there were only fifty
seven prisoners, but this number has
been increased to sevsnty-three.
OF the total number Washoe county
supplies about thirty per cent, and
Elko and Humboldt are the two coun-
ties coming next. This large per-
centage from those three counties is
due largely or almost to the fact that
they are on the main line of the rail-
road. At the present rate, Washoe
county will have furnished over half
of the entire number of prisoners in the
State prison before many months have
passed.
OF the total number very few were
ever residents of Nevada, but are made
up of professional crooks passing
through, who stop off at Reno or else
where to do a turn and get caught.
While this is source of great satisfac-
ton, il seems to indicate that were the
officials of other States as successful in
detecting and capturing criminals as are
those of Nevada, this would be saved
considerable expense in caring for
criminals.

REPORT of Geological Survey,

The first annual report of the arid
land reclamation service of the Geo
logical Survey made by Mr.. f. H.
Newell, who is in charge of it, ha.
been completed and soon will be made
public. 1t gives detailed information
of the work to date for the establish
ment of a system of irrigation under
the direction of the national govern.
ment. 1t appears that work has been
carried on in the different localities in
the various States and Territories a.
follows;
On Salt and ella rivers in Arizona
on Colorado river in Colorado; on
Snake river in Idaho; on the deep
well problems In western Kansas; OF
Milk river in Montana; on the Artesiai
we'll probabilities of western Nebras
ka; on the Carson and Truckee river
in Nevada; on the artesian probable
ties of Central Oregon; on Bear rive
in Utah; on Yakima river in Washing
ton; around Lake de Smet and also OF
Sweetwater river in Wyoming.
AT each of the place where syste
matte work has been conducted pre-
liminary temporary Withdrawals o
public lands have been made, but thu
areas which may be reclaimed are in
dicated only in general way by those
temporary segregations.
Commenting on the effect of thes.
Withdrawals the report says:
1.-The impossibility of stating in ad
vance what lands will ultimately be re
commended for reclamation will result
in great disappointment to many
persons.
The fact that the lands have beer
temporary set aside, is in the eyes o
many, an indication that these land:
will be reclaimed, and although every
attempt has been made to warn in
dividuals of the futility of filing upon
these lands under the lhometsead law
they persist in taking up the land OF
the bare possibility that the survey,
and examinations will ultimately show
il to be reclaimable.
II is an unfortunate condition, which
apparently, cannot be corrected a
present"
