GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

There is a fine exhibit from III,
Esmeralda county coal mines q,
Coaldale at the worlds fair.
The Nevada Consolidated compan,
IS developing the North Star mine Al
Phoebe and opening up some good
lead silver ore.
The Adelaide smelter at Golconda
is working large quantities Of ore
under a new process now being tested
by the Glasgow & Western Explor.
alton company.
A large percentage of the funds
obtained by the Japanese war loan is
to be devoted to the purchase of sill.
yer in the United States, and a bio
advance in price is predicted.
The first cleanup at the Nevada
Placer mines proved that the present
method of working the Carson river
sands is not a success. No values
whatever were saved and the plant
IS now closed down after 800. 600
has been spent.
Ivan X. Sickle, Nevada's track
captain, will go to the worlds fair to
compete in the discus throwing event.
Steckle's recent record of I26 feet
placed him in the front rank among
discus throwers and he should stand
a fair chance in these great games.
The Bamberger- DeLamar mill at
DeLamar is doing good work these
days. The mine is responding noblv
to the draft made upon it and seven
or eight mills are kept running three
shifts per day. The extraction is
all that "a be expected, and more
than it has been at any period in the
history OF the company.
A letter received in Carson from
Zeke Edgecomb who is spending the
summer in st. Louis, states that he |
has visited the Nevada exhibit and it !

A hunting party com posed 81
some of the leading men Of
Crookston will shortly be organ
lied by w. s.. Lycan and will
start for the Lake Of the Woods
country on a strange and novel
mission.
1t will be for the express pur-
pose Of capturing "dead or
alive" monster bull moose,
which heretofore has been con
sidered as existing only in the
minds Of the superstitious band
of Indians, known as the Buffalo
Point band of the ChippeWas.
These tribesmen are very
primitive in their lives and are so
isolated from the possible
glimpses Of civilization that they
are unusually superstitious.
Indian agents who have been
in their territory have amusedly
listened to the fabulous stories
of this monster moose from
them.
But recently two timber cruis-
ers, personal friends of w. S.
Lycan, have came down from the
country and they tell a tale of a
startling nature, but which has
been corroborated by other
hunters and as a result the party
has been organized.
The moose is described as a.
monster bull weighing nearly
2, 500 pounds, with antlers of a
seven foot sweep and it is said
that his crashing through the
forost makes a sound like the
distant roar of an avalanche.
The Indians have become so
superstitious and stand in such
fear Of him that when they know
of his being in the vicinity they
pull up camp and Immediately
take to the woods as fast as they
can.
The quest lion nf. the ~ sstee>'t,
the hunting party will spare no
efforts to take him and thosefrom
this city will be joined by
woodsmen familiar with the coun-
try and Indian guides who know
the trails we'll in the vast terri
tory he is won't to frequent.
The Indians are leaving the
country where he was recently
seen and it is said they are pre-
dieting dire calamity if the.
,sdevil moose, as they call him,
is killed by the white hunter.
There is considerable excite
ment all through the territory on
account Of the proposed ex-.
petition and the interest is keen
as to the results.
The party will be joined by
prominet men from here and
other cities.

 Brought by State Against Arthur b.
 Warner, e al.
 Late yesterday afternoon notice was received at the superior court in this city that the case of the state of Con necticut vs. Arthur D. Warner. ct al., formerly of Woodbury and later of Wa terbury, had been withdrawn, no req son being given. This case has been in the courts since 1889. The defend- ants in the case were the executors of the estate of Edward Cowles, who be- fore his death resided in Waterbury. The bill of particulars states that on october 2S. 1889, Arthur D. Warner and Edward Cowles executed and lodg- ed in the probate court for the district of woodbury a bond payable to the state
 There are twenty-six different counts to the bill and they allege that the executors had sold some of the stocks left by the deceased, and that they had only made an accounting for the face value, no accounting being made of the profits. Among the stocks nam Ted Is stock in two Waterbury banks and New York bank. There are also various other kinds of stock and se- curities. The state claimed $2O0Oo dam ages in the action which 1t brought to recover these balances.

ven. they are frequently obliged to put back to one of these ports. when if they could make available this harbor, they would save great joss of time, accompanied frequently by danger
 But the principal need of this harbor at the present time is an adequate lighthouse, so that vessels can find this refuge during the night At present there is no light marking it but an or dinary kerosene E.mp with a one-inch wick. Vessels which now seek this refuge have to do so by sounding, and with great danger. whereas if suit able light was installel on this break water the entrance would be safe and easy.
 The petition embodied in this resolu- tion is for an improvement which is urgently needed.
