To Repair the SutrO Tunnel.

After engineers Hall and Kirk have
rendered their report on the condition
of the Sutro tunnel and stated what re-
pairs they consider are necessary, the
mining superintendents of the Com
stock will make tour through the
tunnel and submit report of their
observations, and after the total cost of
the repairs is agreed upon. the work of
replacing the old timbers and putting
the tunnel in good condition will fol-
low. 1t is thought the total cost of re-
pairs will not exceed 1000, which will
be paid by the mining companies and
they will be recouped for the outlay by
rebates on ore royalties.

Sure Cure for Stomach Trouble.

A we'll known resident who just re.
turned from a months outing at
Adams springs in Lake county, CAL, is
enthusiastic over the medical properties
of its water, which contains no sulphur,
but has small percentage of coal oil in
its composition. He says that the place
is crowded to overfowing with brewery
and wholesale liquor dealers and saloon
men seeking relief from stomach
trouble" due to the absorption of an
abnormal quantity of malt and alcoholic
stimulants, the effect of which, he
AYERS, is completely eradicated by copi-
Gus draughts of the spring water. AS
the wonderful cures effected are attri-
buted to the coal oil included in the
water can of that product deluted
to the same extent, should prove eqnal-
ly effective and would be far cheaper
than trip to the spring.-Virginia Re-
port.

BEAUTIFUL LAKE TAHOE.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Wasp draws the following pen picture
Of Tahoe: In the course of my visits to
leading Summer resorts this year, !
stopped at Lake Tahoe, and not having
been there since several seasons ago,
was much impressed by the many inn
provements for the comfort of tourists.
There can be no improvement in the
lake itself; it is incomparably the most
beautiful mountain lake in the world,
even the famed Lucerne being second
ary in picturesqueness. A great inland
sea twenty-three miles long and thir-
teen broad, nestled in the heart of the
Sierras at the great altitude of 6,220
feet, is one of the wonders of the world.
No one should fail to see it, for it is a
sight never to be forgotten, if viewed
on a lovely Summer day, when the soft
wind. signing through the pines, just
ripples the surface of the great sheet
OF crystal water, 80 clear that at a
depth of fifty feet the smallest fish and
shells are plainly perceptible. For over
two miles from the shore one can see
the bottom of this magnificent lake,
and then suddenly the crystal depths
change to a fathomless purple that is
only matched by the color of the Allan
tic in mid-ocean. But to paint the
natural attractions of Lake Tahoe is
like gliding the lily or painting the rose.

The Diamond Drill at Tonopah.

Bonanza, Aug. 90: The diamond
drill in the Mizpah, which became
"fitchered" and hung in the hole. sew
eral weeks ago, was fished out last week
and on Tuesday, after the hole had been
completely encased, it was again started
downward. The hole is now down
nearly 300 feet below the 700-foot sta
ton, and it will be pushed at least 1900
feet more. In this distance it is expect.
ed that it will not only penetrate new
ore bodies, but it will demonstrate
whether or not water can be secured.

EX-SHERIFF LOGAN
DENIES THE CHARGE.
Says That His Accounts With the
County Are All Settled Up.

The County Commissioners at their
last meeting announced that the expert
accountants recently employed to go
over the books of the county officers
had found shortage of 81, 100 in the
accounts of ex-Sheriff Tom Logan, and
called upon him and his bondsmen to
appear at the next meeting of the board
and make the deficit good.
On being spoken to regarding the
matter, Mr.. Logan said the whole pro-
ceeding of both the experts and the
board came to him as surprise; that
when the former were going over the
books, he was never asked anything,
therefore did not know that his accounts
were being questioned. He holds re-
ceipts from the Auditor for every cent
collected and turned over, and from the
board he holds the release issued to him
last January when his successor took
his office.
Mr.. Logan can account for the deficit
in only one way. On some of the sums
collected by him the State laws allow
him fee of six per cent. During his
term Of office these perquisites amount
ed to something over 81, 100, little in
excess of the amount he is charged with
being short. Mr.. Logan will attend the
next meeting Of the board and thinks
he will have no difficulty in straighten.
ing the matter out.-Tonopah Bonanza.

Vertical Writing Condemned.

The Board of Education of Sacra-
mento county has condemned vertical
writing. One of the grounds for the
condemnation of the vertical system is
that it has no individuality; that one
child's writing cannot be distinguished
from that of another. Again, the board is
unanimous in saying that the system is
too slow and if young men and women
expected to secure positions as book
keepers or in other clericrl capacities it
would have to be abandoned.

Manufacture of Cyanide.

At the present time some 1900 tons
of cyanide of potassium are manufact.
ured annually in Europe, $500 tons are
made in Germany 4,S00 in Great Brit
ian and 300 in France. In addition to
this, about 8, 900 tons of sodium cyanide
are annually manufactured. AS the de-
mand for cyanide is not in exec IS of
$500 tons per annum, according to Mr..
George Beilby, the price is likely to re-
main low as there is extreme complica-
tions between the manufacturers, an
attempted arrangement for regulating
prices not having been consummated
successfully.

Storey County Gains Taxable Property


The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany has just filed statement with the
Assessor showing that 1871 miles OF
the new road are in Storey county. or
this amount 6.21 miles which are in
operation are assessed at $4,000 per
mile, and 7.50 miles not yet operated
are assessed at $1,000 per mile. The
statement includes $4,000 worth OF
patented land, and the total value OF
the property, including roadbed, rolling
stock etc, amounts to 5000 By the
reconstruction of the road Washoe
county will lose about ten miles of track
and Lyon county about four miles. The

GRAsSHOPPERS AND QUAIL.
Lincoln County Claims All Crops Will
Be Destroyed by the Pests.


The Lincoln County Record claims
that between grasshoppers and quail
the crops of Lincoln County will be
completely destroyed this year. In
speaking of the quail pest it says in
part:
Everything possible has been tried
to destroy them. but to no avail. Wheat
soaked in strychnine as well as cyanide
of potassium. quail seem to grow fat on
and the only thing that seems to affect
them at all is arsenic. This Summer If
the gun clubs from the western part Of
the State could only step into the Mud
dy Valley, what picnic they would
have. The Record would suggest that
some member make trip down there
and snare about 100. 900, and take them
back to their hunting grounds and turn
them loose and inside of a year they
would have all the quail hunting they
would want, and would not have to Pc
tition the Legislature to enact a law for
preserving them"

All COmstOck Mines Being Drained.
The official report of the progress
made last week in lowering the water
in the @. e. @. shaft shows that the
elevator and Reidler pump systems are
gradually draining the entire lode, says
the Virginia Report. Measurements
taken of the stage of water in the Com
bination shaft show that it has been
lowered two feet, four inches since the
draining of the Q. g. @. shaft below the
2,l50 level began. This demonstrates
conclusively that the project of INSTALL
ing similar system of pumps in the
Ward shaft will result in unwatering
the entire lode down to the deepest
depth so far attained in Comstock deep
mining.

Success of Alabama Girl.

Miss Gabriella Knight, who was born and reared in Mobile but who will prob ably make her home in this city in fu- ture, is making a mark for herself in the musical world of Germany, where she has been studying for the past two years. Miss Knight is the daughter of Mr. J. s. Knight, a former resident of Mobile but now of Birmingham. She has studied un- der the great masters of Germany, and from reports which have reached her friends here this talented young woman has achieved a large measure of success. few weeks ago Miss Knight sang at Beethoven hall Berlin, at a large con cert with full orchestra. After the per formance Sir Wilhelm Klatte, one of Ser lin's first musical critics, under date of June, 1908, wrote the following which is translated from the German: q had the opportunity of hearing Miss Knight sing the Rosen aria from Figaros eHoch- zeit.' Judging her abilities from this ef- fort, Mss Knight possesses excellent sound voice material which she under- stands how to use skilfully. The manner of her rendition showed that Miss Knight is gifted with great musical taste and artistic conception. Her enunciation of the German text proves that she has studied the language diligently and con scientlously."
 Miss Knight graduated from the Judson institute at Marion, and took a post-grad- uate course in music afterwards before taking up the study abroad.
