Caution Necessary

Wires are down all over the place.
The lighter telephone wires have
given way under the weight of snow
and in many cases have either fallen
to the ground or crossed with elec-
trio light wires. There is need for
vigilence when the current is turned
on this evening or fires may result.
In case of a blaze due to crossed
wires caution should be exercised in
extinguishing it, for electricity can hit
a pretty hard lick when 1t is aggra-
waited and water is one of the best
conductors of the juice.

A Glorious Storm

1t is needless to state that 1t has
been, is and probably will continue
showing.
AS storms go, this is a beauty,
isn't it? An inch an hour of soft,
hard packing snow from the mormon
east.
Crops are now assured beyond the
peradventure Of a doubt, and the
ranges will be covered with bunch
grass.
Stockers and feeders are no longer
on the market. There will be impor-
tations of them instead.
Water company stock has or should
have gone up half dozen points at
least today, for the snow banks are
piled high on the mountains and the
town water supply for the season is
certain.
At press hour the storm signals
were still flying and the good work
is expected to keep going on.
The railroad boys had troubles to
burn this morning and the dispatchers
and operators were frantic.
One by one the wires went out OF
commission until by noon there was
but one left and that was working
badly.
Trains had to run ION their rights,
which meant long waits on isolated
sidings.

cut off a Chinaman's queue, says the
Carson Weekly, thereby raising quite
disturbance, but the officers soon
quieted things. Cutting off China
mans queue is a States Prison Of
fense and the boys should be careful
or they may have plenty of time to
reflect on the way to behave.

EIko is All Right

In a letter to a friend here, Ed.
Kavanaugh, manager for the Bradley
Bros. at Deeth, says that there have
been several good storms in that vi
cinity and that the snow is deep at
the head of Mary's river and all signs
point to there being an ample supply
of water for the coming season.
The outlook in Elko county is
greatly improved in the past fort
night and with the present storm
good supply of water is assured, at
least for the higher mountain country.

AN EXHIBIT BY
THIS COUNTY
Jerry Sheehan Has a Scheme
That is a Good
One

Every prospector and mine owner
gravitates naturally in the direction
of the County Recorders Office when
he visits Winnemucca, because there
IS where he must take his notices of
location and affidavits of annual work
to have them placed upon record.
This makes that Office the natural
place for the location of a mineral
museum that could be made represen-
tative of Humboldt county, by assign
ing each district a separate place and
making the exhibit comprehensive by
having it contain every variety of
mineral found in the county.
This would be not only a matter
of county pride, but would be produc-
tive, possibly, of sales, buyers becom-
ing attracted by the display.
Recorder Sheehan authorizes the
Silver State to announce that he will
volunteer to become curator of the
museum and will label and arrange
all specimens brought in.
Mr.. Sheehan has started the ball
rolling by putting his private cabinet
in the Office. This is a valuable COL
lection, nearly all the ores being from
this county.
If the claim owners overcrowd the
capacity of the cabinet the Silver
State will agree to attempt to worry
the county commissioners into pro-
viding more commodious quarters for
the exhibit.

HUMBOLDT MUST
BE PROTECTED
Investors Will Pass 1t By If Un-
fair Dealing is Per-
mitted

In the issue of the Lovelock Argus
that arrived today there is an article
of considerable length emphasizing
the position taken by the Silver State
several days ago on rotten mining
schemes.
The Argus went further than the
Silver State by practically naming the
company that is GUARANTEEING
TO RETURN TO STOCKHOLDERS
IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS THE
AMOUNT OF THEIR INVESTMENT.
Despite the fact that the company
in question is doing development
work, their criminal misrepresenta-
tions should not be permitted to pass
unnoticed. There is a strong proba-
bility that certain stockholders who
have been misled into investing their
earnings in this bunco outfit will bring
criminal action.
II the Silver State is not in error the
company in question is operating" a
mine that was once bonded by a
Boston outfit that later went into the
business of manufacturing and selling
"petrified men" to eastern museums
If this company, despite the warn
ings it has received, persists in it's
present course of obtaining money
under false pretenses, the Silver State,
in order to protect the fair name of
this county, will make a full expose
in a few days and will assist certain
stock holders in the prosecutions they
will bring.

NOW FOR THE COUNTRY.
ChortIea His Lay About
Spring Pleasures.

Ha, ha, the gladstone spring has come;
let's close the city fiat and nail the windows
all down tight, and can the family cat. For
now it's no for the countryside, it's no
for the house at the lake, it's no for the
woods, and no for the birds, and also no
for the rake. Get down the bamboo fish
ing rod, dig up the bathing suit, it's shrunk,
and when pa puts it on, O, won't he be q
beaut?
Q, think of the joyous times well have;
Just think 1of the moonlit nights, which
reminds mi to take the peppermint-it's
good for mosquito bites. @, think Of the
dreamy stiffness there; say, fill that gun
with Lead know a screech owl ii the
woods that's going to get killed dead. All,
next to natures heart, Q, that's the place
to live, and put the rubber blankets in,
for the roof leaks like a sieve. We'llhave
a garden all our own, on strawberries we'll
sup, unless the neighbors' hogs get in and
root the garden up, Pack up the latest
novels, too, life's etory we will learn, and.
when the irewood gets wet they're very
nice to burn. Well grow so rugged, strong
and. brown, we'll know what real health
is; don't forget to put the quinine IN to
keep off rheumatic. And, papa dear, take
him along, he swears at rocks and rills,
but we've got to nave some sucker there
to pay our little bills. So don't ask why,
but come with us, be merry woodland elves;
when summers Ger and we return we may
ask why ourselves.
