Miners Fatal MaIady.

Silicosis is the latest medical term
applied to the disease commonly called
miners consumption" 1t is claimed
that this common miners complaint
is due largely to dust The extent to
which the disease RACES among miners
may be shown by the figures recently
obtained by government commission
in johannesburg. Out of 1910 miners
examined, 1877 or 15.4 per cent, were
affected, and SO, or 10 per cent, were
suspected cases. 1t is said that fully
as large a percentage of middle-age,i
miners on the Pacific coast suffer from
this malady

SHAM e.
Destruction ct Trees Where it is Not
Necessary,

Necessary.
Persons who believe that Carson is
thing of beauty should take a look
about the entire city at the present
time. Since it was decided to enforce
the law regulating spraying, a number
OF Carsonites have either gone mad or
else their spite against themselves is
working havoc on their possessions.
There is not section in this city
but that some ones poor judgment is
not destroying trees that have taken
an ordinary life time to grow. In re-
Spouse to the querry as to why one
man destroyed yard full of trees,
stated that rather than have the COM
missioner dictate to him he would
"cut the damn things out" and so it
has gone in every corner of the city.
The woodman's ak is heard from early
morning to night and the result is that
the streets are strewn with trees that
helped make Carson a city on the
map. 2.
There is absolutely no need Of the
action. A little trimming and an appli-
cation Of rs cents worth Of spray will
comply with the law and the city
would preserve her beauty. It is a safe
calculation that the enforcement of the
law has been the source Of loss of
many dollars to property values in
this city. Parties who have wilfully
cut out trees have simply destroyed
a certain per cent of the value of the
property and it will take years to re
place the wanton work.
A piece of land that is we'll shaded
| with trees is valuable and the same
| parcel OF land with the trees removed
Is not worth half the price. The prop
erty owners can figure it out them
selves and the sooner the people come
to their senses in the matter, the bet
ter off they will be.
The law is intended as a wholesome
I benefit for the community. The entire
village in infected with pest that cal
be destroyed, but it is not the intent
ion of the law to destroy the beaut!
of the city or destroy the propert!
! values. as some people think.
A few people are cutting out tn
trees purely on mercinary basis; tn
wood that will be produced THIS is
downright shame. as cord wood i
as cheap today as in the history of tn
town.
Spare the trees II you have to hgh
the commissioners a law suit.

ExTORTloNATE RATES.
Some Tree Trimmers are Acting the
Hog in the Matter. ~.

Complaint has been made in this
Office by number of parties that in a
number of instances parties engaged
in trimming trees have been exacting
instance widow woman, who coull
i'll afford to comply with the law, has
been soaked more for the cutting of the
trees than her property is worth.
Others have the same complaint, and
if the work continues there is going to
be more trouble over the enforcing of
the law than was anticipated. The
people seem inclined to do the right
thing in this matter but they do not
wish to be robbed. The only way to
do is to make contract with parties
who are willing to do the work and
see that they comply with tiff it is
going to take more than the property
is worth to trim trees and comply with
the law the citizens will make gen.
eral complaint and some will dodge
the issue. AS it is simply an item Of
expense to every man who has to pay
for the work and the work should be
made as reasonable as possible and no
one stuck for a sum simply because
they are between the devil and the
deep sea.

GARDNERvlLLE. NOTES.
Items From the Prospective Valley out
South.

The C. H. Eaton Co. shipped $50
cases of honey yesterday to Portland,
Oregon. The wei: fCoters like our hon.
ey, this being only one lot out of
great many shipped from here to Port
land in the last few years.
The Hickey Land & Cattle Co., has
sold about 1900 head of beef cattle so
far this winter and will market at
least $500 more. Drives of about 300
head are made to Carson about every
other week. The value of the cattle
sold and to be disposed of this winter
is in the neighborhood Of 100000.
The splendid storm of the past week
assures sufficient water supply for
the coming summer. 1t is the best
thing that has struck thecountry in
half decade. The snow is piled deep
in the mountain canyons and Carson
Valley and the entire State of Nevada
will be blessed with abundant crops
again next summer.
The pumping plant ordered by
Adolph Dressler Of Genoa is quite an
affair. 1t will have a twelve-horse
power engine and will raise 14O miners
inches Of water per minute. The
pump will be placed in the river near
the old dam on the Dressler place.
No reservoirs will be required, as the
water will be pumped directly onto
, the land to be irrigated. which is on
the west side of the river It is esti-
mated that the cost of operating the
pump will be about $3.50 for twelve
hours, but as it raises an immense vol
ume of water, it will not be necessary
! to keep it running all the time

FEDERAL A.U.
lr;:;~ations Are That the Bill Will Re.
ceive Favorable Consideration.

ceive Favorable Consideration.
The committee on Mines AID Mining
OF the House of Representatives, at
it's first meeting of the session, APPOINT
ed a sub committee for the purpose or
the consideration and formulation of
bill applying the proceeds OF public
lands to the endowment Of schools or
departments OF mining in connection
with the colleges established in the
several States which provide colleges
for the benefit of agricultural and the
mechanic arts,
The sub committee at meeting just
he.I, considered. in connection with
the proposed measure, bill which has
lust been introduced by Representa-
tive Mundell, which is practically iden-
teal with one introduced in the Fifty
seventh Congress by General Grosve-
nor, and which, with amendments,
was reported, but never passed the
House. 1t is the general impression
that the bill failed of consideration
mainly because of the fact that the
money which it appropriates is not
drawn from the treasury direct. but
is derived from the sales Of lands In
the West; and the friends OF irriga-
ton in Congress believed that it would
make too heavy an inroad on the !r-
rigation fund, which is also derived
from the same source.
The purpose of this bill is to provide
means for instruction, research AMI
experiment in mining machinery, with
the application of electricity thereto)
mining engineering, mine exploitation
metallurgy, chemistry, geology, fores
try, agricultural engineering and road
making, irrigation and irrigation engf
neering, and the branches of learniEa
pertaining to such subjects.
The sum of $4,000 per annum t.
each of the 4S States in the Union Is
appropriated by the bill now under
consideration, and where a school i:
already in existence the money will
be paid direct to such school to furthel
increase it's facilities; this sum, in al
cases, to be increased from year Il
year.
