sters engaged in 6stic encoun-
ter on the street ia front of the
FaIlon Drug Store Miss Abbie
Wightman. the obIiging clerk in
the store, witnessed the exhibit
ton and in the goodness OF her
heart cut two lovely bananas

rived that day and presented
one each to the combatants-
not as a reward for their clever
ness in the IN anlv art. but as an
inducement TO forebear fighting
The lads 'made friends" and
swore they'd fight no more.
The action of Miss Wightman
spread rapidly. however. and
ere an hour had elapsed there
was more fighting on front of
the drugstore than there has
been in Nevada for years. Every
kid in the town, or as many as
could get there, was ON hand
fighting in the hopes OF, getting
a banana. Finally, the store
had to be closed and it was a
sorry looking crowd Of fighters
that gazed after lady bountiiu
as she wendcd her way home

Much Ado About Nothing.

An Indian called at Police
headquarters one day this week
and reported that a fellow
trihesman had been murdered
and his body. done away with.
An investigation followed and
two Indians were placed in jail,
on suspicion. awaiting develop
ments. 1t appears that one
Mopey George had trouble with
two of his tribe and was severe
ly beaten. After receiving the
.drubbing he feared to return to
camp and took a NOPE to Still
water. His absence occasioned
the belief among his friends that
he was dead, hence the arrests.
AS soon as the facts were learned
the Indians held on suspicion
were released from custody.

PAST WEEK
AT THE CANAL

The weather of the past week
has interfered to some extent
with work on the big canal. 1t
is believed, however. that the
worst of the storms have passed
and that there will be no more
delays. Spring has fairly opened
and the work will be prosecuted
as fast as the men. teams and
steam shovels can do it. During
the week number of teams have
been added to the equipment
and more can find employment.
1t is to be regretted. say the
contractors. that the unjust re-
marks of disgruntled iaborers
should be given any credence in
the State press. before an inves-
tigation is made. as it material
" affects the work. The treat
meut accorded the men is the
very best that circumstances
will permit. The false state
ments of one man can do con-
siderable harm. Men are want
ed and are assured courteous
treatment.

MARGIN MINE
.H.' A PRODUCER
Sheriff Shirley Tells Of
Eag1evi1le.

Robert Shirley has returned
from a recentvisit to the Margin
mine in which himself, Jake
Gregg and George McKennett
are co-partners. The mine is
located about IL miles south
east of Eagleville in the Margin
mountains and will soon be
numbered among the bullion
producing properties of the
State. .rst.
In an interview with a STAND
ARD representative 4 fe said he
was more than pleased at the
present appearance of the mine
and its future outlook. The
ledge. which runs from six to
eighteen inches in width, carries
values from $40 to S125 in. gold
per ton and So in silver and can
be traced for a distance, of 4, 500
feet. There is.verylittle waste.
At the present: time there are rs
tons of shipping ore on the
dump, that is. ore :rEnning from
$50 to $125 per ton in gold,
ready for shipment. Mr.. Shirley
states that he is not at all
anxious to dispose of his interest
in the mine and believes it will
ultimately land him ON Easy
street. He and his partners
have three other claims along
the same ledgea
During the Slleriffss absenceshe
visited other properties in the
same locality and reports them
looking sI,lendidly. He is most
enthusiastic regarding the Eagle
vile country. sWhat is needed
there is capitals"l he. :states
II believe that this district
offers a speculative investment
unexcelIed in this state. That
country is truly remarkable.
Nearly every property there
would be worth considerable
and net the owner a comfort
able fortune if facilities for work
ing low grade ore were on the
ground. AS it is, ore has to be
shipped to such a distance for
treatment as to render these
low grade properties unprofit- :
able, but the day is surelycom-
ing when Eagleville will be on
the map and mark you, young
man, it will be a producing camp
of which Nevada may well be
proud" cs
