CHANCE FOR
INVESTMENT.
Auto Line Up the Valley is a Good
Opening.

People who are looking for chance
to engage in a profitable business,
can find one by opening an auto
mobile line to this city to points up
Carson valley. This is one of the
best travelled sections in the State.
Every drummer who is i'm the busi-
ness in Western Nevada makes trips
up the valley on his visits as the busi-
ness up there is one of the best that
he encounters and the farmers and
store men are figured as the best pay
in the State.
The drummer is not the only ira
weller. For the past two years this
section has been infested with yellow
legged mining inspectors and they are
always in rush. They want to get
onto the ground in hurry and back
again.
People will get sick ap that way
and the doctor has to take hard drives
in all kinds of weather. The farmer
often finds that he is out of a necess-
ity, especially at the harvest time and
it has to be hurled up the valley and
so it goes. Quick trips demand and
no chance To make them.
An automobile line from Carson TO
the head of the valley would over
come this difficulty. Trips that take
days could be covered in hours and at
less expense than team hire. The ma
chimes have proven equal to such in
many localities outside of this State,
and the day is not far distant when
the horseless carriage will take the
place of the slower mode of travel.
The field is today open to some one
with small capital and the first man
ON the scene win do a business that
will pay handsomely. The day of ex-
perimenting,is over and where the auto
has been installed for such purposes it
has proven more than success.
Several parties are figuring ON the
venture and while they are summing
up the situation someone viii happen
onto the ground and the story of sue
cess will be told.-Appeal.

Found Money.

An insurance agent was looking
over the company's business in Carson
last week and was informed that John
Rosser, an old policy holder, had
died few years ago. The agent was
surprised, as he had been informed
that Mr.. Rosser was still policy
holder. He wrote the office in San
Francisco and by return mail received
a reply stating the company had never
heard of Mr.. Rosser's death and send
ing up claim papers to be filed in.
AS soon as these are ready the sum
OFFS, 300 will be paid over to Mr.. Ros-
ser's estate. Mrs. Rosser had no
knowledge of any insurance or any
policy and had made no claim.

University Tri.DecenEial
Celebration.

The tri-decennial celebration of the
Nevada University will begin Satur-
day, May 2s, and continue until Thurs
day, June >. This celebration will be
unique in that it will mark the passing
of the university from its formative
stage to the period of its maturity. 1t
will also be the last celebration before
all of the early pioneers who laid its
foundation in the legislative act of
1873 have passed to the beyond. The
celebration will, therefore, assume a
reminiscent character, as the univer-
sity founders will be assembled from
all parts of the State and the gradual
development of the university since
1874, when opened as preparatory
school with one instructor and seven
students will be rehearsed by those
familiar with its history. The actual
celebration exercises will begin June

HIGHEST American Mine.

The highest mine in America, if not
in the world, is found in Lundy,
Mono county, California. 1t is called
the Crystal Lake mine The tunnel
through which the work is being
done is $4,000 feet above sea level.
Six months in the year the officers
and miners are prisoners from the
depth of the snow, and in shady
places the snow does not all melt even
in summer. Many miners cannot
live there on account of the rarity of
the atmosphere.
