Investigation Nearly Completed.

The prospects of the smelter start
ing up in the near future appear to be
growing brighter. The representa-
tives of the company who are here
inspecting the ore supply seem to be
entirely satisfied as to the available
ore. They this week visited the
Quill mine near Carson, the Genoa
copper mines and the Winters mine.
The latter seemed to offer more en-
couragement than all the others, and
the gentlemen ore reported as saying
that this mine could furnish enough
ore to run the smelter for twenty
years. Wednesday and yesterday
they visited the smelter, tested the
boiler, pump, and water jacket and
examined the water supply. Just
what the result of their investigation
was we were unable to learn.
1t is certainty that if the miners
and prospectors exhibited the interest
in the matter that they did when the
old smelter company was organized,
the deal would soon be consumated.
The miners have been disappointed SO
often in this matter that they are
slow to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity. However, we believe it is a
go this time and no mistake.
Anyone having a prospect of base
material can assist both themselves
and the enterprise in question
by sending word to F. B. Livingston,
together with samples and a slight de-
scription, etc. Mr.. Livingston's pre-
sent address is Gardnerville.

Race Postponed.

Owing to the inclement weather
and the fact that for the past week the
bicycle track has been under water,
making training impossible, the
bicycle race scheduled to take place
between the Carson and local teams
Sunday, has been postponed one week.
Every effort to get the track in con-
dition has proved unsuccessful and as
a consequence the boys were COM
PEELED to give up training for the
time being. BY postponing the race
a week, tits thought that the track
will be in good condition long enough
to allow the team to get in racing
shape.
Word comes from Carson that the
boys there are training faithfully and
a close race is looked for.

The Nevada Failure.

By the failure of the Nevada
Placer Company the mining industry
of Douglas county and in fact of the
whole state, has received a hard blow
in the East. The state whose name
the company bore will now suffer the
inevitable reaction that attends all
mining failures. While no one
would be optimistic enough to expect
all mining ventures to be successes,
yet intending stockholders should be
protected from being induced to put
their money into prospects by
prospectuses that do not state
the facts. They are usually
written by man who is an expert at
stretching the truth, and in glowing
terms point out to the unsophisticated
Fastener an easy method of becoming
rich.
This particular failure is attended
by peculiar circumstances. All re
member that at the cleanup of last
fall something like $1,000 was saved;
the one held under supposedly the
same conditions few days ago did
not net, so we are told, the company
over So Just what is the reason OF
this we are unable to state.
Itwould seem that under ordinary
circumstances such a state of affairs
would justify the owners in making
another attempt. That first cleanup
ought to be an incentive to try again.

Schutzenfest.

A royal time had been promised all
those who would attend the Schutzen-
fest in Waterloo last Sunday, and the
program was carried out to the letter.
Long before the festivities were sup
posed to begin, the crowd began to
appear and by 3 o'clock Waterloo was
crowded with people. 1t seemed that
everybody who could possibly get
away was there and dull care was
left at home.
A few selections by the Citizens
band started the ball rolling, and
from then on the stein and merriment
reigned supreme.
After the target shooting, which is
a characteristic feature of the day, the
merry crowd, young and old, repaired
to the platform erected for dancing
purposes, and from then until the wee
sma hours of Monday morning the
light fantastic was INDUCED in.
The next event in this line will be
the Entrefest, held in the fall.

Race Sunday.

A thirty mile relay race will take
place here next Sunday between riders
of the local team. Great interest
centers in this race as it will de-
termine the men to represent Gard
nerville in the race with Carson a
week later. So far the boys have all
made about the same time, and at
present no one is sure of making the
team.
The race will start promptly at 2.30
o'clock. A small admissions

will go towards paying for the new

five miles wide The heavy tides raise

seldom ruffled these waters above An

point the river is navigable by smaller

These Korean forests helped to fan

Korea conceded the part of the forests
