Capital Behind Prospectors.

Men employed ON the Dangberg
ranch and their friends in Gardner
vile have raised a purse of $1,000,
bought pair ofmules, a wagon, camp
ing and assaying routfit, provisions,
etc. Land in few days willsend out a
party of experienced prospectors and
an assayer to prospect in the mineral
fields of southwestern Nye county,
says the Report. Abe Harris is assay
er and will be in charge of the expe-
dition. 1t is proposed to keep the
outfit in the field for one year at least,
during which time it is hoped that
something will be found which will
have justified the expenditure. Twen-
ty men are backing the enterprise.
This is prospecting on business basis
and few outfits of this sort would de-
velop Nevada very rapidly.
The above will be news to Abe's
friends, who, though fully aware OF
his versatility, were not expecting him
to desert the mercantile for the
more alluring field of mining. ~ q, :. ].

A Success.

Last Saturday Il. A. Thomson, oil
the SampsoniIron Works, started the
pumping plant at the Wallace ranch
near Genoa. The water is pumped
from the river onto the high land.
The engine is 8 horse power and
throws ], 200 gallons of water a minute.
This will irrigate 100 acres of land
that formerly was unproductive ON
account of the lack of water to irri-
gate with.
At the Dressler ranch a larger plant
is being installed. 1t is twelve horse
power engine and will pump 1850
gallons minute. The purchasers of
these plants are more than satisfied
with their bargains.

Insurance Settled.

Jno. b. Cosgrove, Special agent for
the Scottish Union and National In.
suranee Co., was here last week and
adjusted the insurance for G. NJ.
Henningsen. The full claim, $4,000,
was paid. This company was exceed
ingly prompt in meeting its obliga-
tions and made no attempt to take adj
vantage of the fact that q few articles
had been removed from the house
before the fire.
No less prompt was the settlement
made by j. NJ Mendell of the Niagara
Insurance Co, on the RECORD loss.
The full claim of $500 was paid and
promptly to.
Such cannot be said of the Phoenix
Insurance Co., or its agent sent here
to adjust the 5000 policy held by S.
Southworth on his dwelling house.
The company has been very slow in
paying the claim, and the agent tried
his level best to delay matters. Al.
though month has come and gone,
the claim is yet unpaid.
We chronicle these facts simply tc
put those who contemplate insurine
their premises on their guard. Il
costs no more to insure with a com
pany that meets its obligation prompt
ly than it does with one that take,
from six to ten weeks to pay a s3Ot
claim.

Saloon Robbed.

Two Indians broke into the saloon
of Chris Berning at Centerville last
Friday and stole enough liquor to put
the whole Washoe tribe on the bum.
NJ. Fay attempted to detain one of the
robbers, who showed fight and pulled
gun. Mr.. Fay hit him on the head
with shovel, and the Indian had all
the fight taken out of him. Sheriff
Mccormick was called and placed
both Indians under arrest. They are
now in the county Jail at Genoa.

Professor Smith, leader of the

been received and more is on the way.
Before many moons Gardnerville
will be able to boast of band at
least as good as most bands in the
state. The citizens of the town
should encourage the boys in every
possible way.

As this is the time of year when
people are most subject to diseases of
different kinds, and also when de-
cayed vegetable matter and waste
material are throwing off poisonous
gases and disease germs, it is neces-
sary for the public welfare that such
things should be destroyed or carried
to some place where they will be
harmless.
A few days ago a deal was con-
sumated in which Messrs NJ. Cody and
Ike Mexican of Bodie became owners
of the Carter group of seven claims,
adjoining the Golden Gate mine in
Antelope valley. They have already
started to develop some of the claims
and will open up rival in richness to
the Golden Gate. We predict a min
ing camp in that district, within the
near future, that will surprise the
mining world, as will, as enrich the
present owners of the various prop
critics now being worked.

IT is quite the fashion in these days
to contend that man who speculates

serving penitentiary penalty as the
man who speculates with such FUNDS

superficial. The guilt lies in default

his contract, kept his word. complied
with his bond The man who fails to
do this is the defaulter and the cause
ir manner of the default Is no part
of the bond. He has failed to account
according to the terms of the trust
and there lies his guilt. No matter
what the cause, or how blameworthy
or unblameworthy, he must account

land will in most cases necessitate the
active conduct of the farm by it's
owner. Statistics show that the big
farms of $40 to 1000 acres in the north
central states gave crop yield of s1.1S
per acre, while the 100 to It's acre
farms gave $3.50 per acre. Increasing
population will force the more profit
able farm. The wave of immigration
to the cities which is even now begin
ming. to roll back upon the country Is
increasing the demand for smaller
land holdings and will aid in the dis
Indignation of the large landed estates.
Intensive farming offers the solution
of the question of what we shall do
with the teeming millions of the be-
ginning Of the twenty-first century.
Then interurbans will tap a country

acres, coaXed, irrigated and titled to
the limit of productivity; fruit farms,
dairies, poultry farms scientifically
conducted by trained and educated
operators and each maintaing it's fam
lily and furnishing home. System
will have forced itself and the evolu-
ton of scientific farming have planted

pagated six blades Of grass where one

Story of Terrapin's Memory.
baltimore SUM-

That Br'r Tarrypin has memory is
proved by a story told by Young ID.
Hance, who owns the birthplace of
Chief Justice fancy, on Battle Creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr.. Hance keeps small boat under
mulberry tree on the shore of the
creek, and on going to the boat early
one morning he noticed dry land tar
rapin busily engaged in eating a few
mulberries which had fallen. Mr.
Hance, wishing to assist 'Br'r Tarrypn
in getting his breakfast gathered some
mulberries and pitched them to him,
one at time. In a very short time
the terrapin began to catch the berries
in his mouth, exactly as they were
thrown to him. Every day thereafter
a sligt knock on the side of the boat
would bring the terrapin out for his
mulberries, and Mr.. Hance often took
