New Creamery Started Up.

The new creamery erected by
John O'Banion on the old Burbank
ranch, in Smith Valley, is now in
working order, and is a very COM
plete little establishment. The sepa-
rator is of a thousand pounds capa-
city, and can handle the milk from
several hundred head of COWS. John
Tucke, of Carson Valley, has pur-
chased this creamery, and has also
leased Mr.. O'Banion's ranch and loo
head of dairy cows, and will go into
the butter making industry on quite
an extensive scale.

Water Meeting.

There was meeting Of the Walk
er River Water Association here
last Saturday. At this meeting the
Executive Committee made known
the fact that it would be impossible
for the defendants and plaintiffs in
the big Miller & Lux suit to come to
an agreement of settlement outside
of Court. The plaintiffs in the case
ask for too much. The Associa ton
Committee will now proceed to get
things in shape az best it can to con-
test the claims of plaintiffs in the
Court. 1t may take some time to do
this, but eventually such move
would have to be made, and it seems
that this is the only way that the
water question in this section can
ever be settled.

100000 shares of stock at 81 per

Evans, ]. a. Fitzgerald and E.
Hardy. The property is situated in
Little Antelope Valley, Mono county,
Cal, and is known as the Golden

offered S25o,ooo for the mine, but
have concluded to construct a suit
able plant and operate the mine them
selves. This will be done early in

Judge Packard, Of Reno, and ].
w. Scally, of Salt Lake, have incor-
porated what is to be known as the
Silver Lake Consolidated Mining Co.,
for 100000. The property which the
company will operate is situated at
the head of Red Canyon, and was
located some time ago by Dan Emer-
son and Jim Andrews, of this place.
The three claims which constitute
the property show galena, silver and
gold values, working test OF the
ore giving returns of "a per cent.
lead FL ounces OF silver and S3in gold.
But little work has been done on the
claims as yet, and they may show
an improvement as depth is attained.
The company will probably ship ore
to Reno for working to start with,
until works of its own can be erect
ed, if it is decided to put up works.

Some weeks ago she had an opera
ton performed in that city for a
complaint women are sometimes
subject to, and was left in very deli
cate health. Her husband was sum-
moned to San Francisco again the
first of this week as it was decided
by the physicians that another opera
ton would have to be performed.

Showing Up Well.

The little Mazuma mine in Pump
kin Hollow, which Messrs. Glines,
Cavanagh and Clark have been de-
veloping for some months past, is
showing up some very rich ore these
days. This week the boys started
to drift north and south on the I5o-
foot level.' The ledge runs from two
to three feet in width and the ore
will average $40 per ton the entire
width. On the hanging wall there
is six to seven inch vein of ore
which goes up into the thousands.
The owners of the property will con-
tinue to do considerable more devel-
opment work on the mine and in the
Spring will make arrangements to
ship their ore, or possibly have it
worked at one of the mills in the
upper end of the valley.

Last Saturday the funeral of Ben
iamin f. Tribou took place from the
home of James West. The remains
were encased in a neat casket, and
the Rev. L. II. Nicholas performed
the services. The funeral was very
largely attended.
At almost the same hour that the
above funeral took place, that of 4.
b. Miller took place from the resi-
dence of f. Feigenspan, in the lower
end of the valley. This funeral was
also largely attended by friends of
the deceased. At the cemetery Rev.

sad rites over the remains of both of
the deceased. Appropriate music
was rendered, and all that was
earthly of two of our oldest resi-
dents was consigned to the last
resting place.

Chance of Schedule.

Nearly all of our State exchanges
state that change of schedule will
soon be made on the G. & z. road. 1t
is stated that the lay-over at Haw-
thorne will be abolished, but that
that place will be a. supper and
breakfast station for passengers
going through. Trains will prob
ably be run through to Keller. The
company is now putting on engines
and cars from its North Pacific
Coast line in California, and it IS re-
ported that separate passenger and
freight trains will be run under the
new schedule. Several representa-
tives of the company are expected
to visit Tonopah any day now to de-
eide whether or no a branch line
shall be extended into that camp at
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1903-01-03

place, his collar bone broken in two
places and three ribs broken. DR..

put the injured man in as comforta-
BILE condition as possible and he

Doa't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet
it may be of some help to consider
the matter. II the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand, If within your control you
have only to act. When you have
a cold and fear an attack of pneumo-
MIA, buy bottle of Chamberlain 8

property was formerly owned by

price is said to be in the neighbour

that there is more than enough ore
