MICS, pleasure aud recreation, thus i'm
pairing its inspiring influence, lofty
patriotism and high ideals that should
call upon all societies, unions, organized

earnest effort to impress upon the pub

is set aside in order that We may all join
with patriotic fervor 10 showing our high
regard for the services of those heroes
OF our country who, though not here in
life. influence us by their worthy ex-
ample OF love Of country. Let not their
brave services be forgotten upon this
day so specially set aside to decorate the
honored graves wherein their bodies
rest, but let us bring to our recollection
their valiant deeds, as We should keep
their graves green and decorated with
flowers, may we also truly venerate and
respect Memorial day by remembering
the dead heroes.

Eureka County's
Iron T1ine.

There are now fourteen men working
at the iron mine near Gerald, six milea
west OF Palisade, and it is estimated
that an average of 1J0 tons of iron are
being shipped daily to the American
Smelling Company at Salt Lake, where
the ore is used for fluxing purposes.
This Eureka County property was
sold several months ago by j. A. Ferraro
of Palisade, to the Southern Pacific ard
the Eureka Il Palisade agent. to the
West Mining Company of Salt Lake.
For the quarter ending December 81,
1904, the West Mining Company paid
into Eureka County as tax on the net
product of its Gerald iron mine, Sl99.70,
and Sl79S0 for the quarter ending
Marc 81, 1904. This is conclusive evi-
deuce that the net yield for those six
months WAS $l5,602.23.
The mine is on the south side Of the
Humboldt river, at the mouth uf cam
yon leading TO Stafford. 1t consists OF a
hill which seems TO be composed entire
ly of iron, carrying very little or no
value in silver or gold, and the ore makes
a fine fux. To facilitate the transporta-
ton OF this ore to the smelter the South
ern Pacific Company put in short spur
of railroad from the main track at Ger
aid to the mine. The work at the mine
is under the management of Ralph
Watson.-Eu Eureka Sentinel.

The outlook for copper is more prom
Using than for some time past 1t is
stated by authorities that the surplus
has been entirely absorbed and that the
present output of the mines of the world
scarcely keeps up with the demand and
actual absorption Of the metal by the
industries. Whenever copper reaches a
low price the result is heavy buying by
consumers, and also the introduction OF
the metal into new uses, and into chan
nels where it's use is prohibitory in the
time of high prices. In view OF the
present situation, firm market for cop
per is anticipated. with possibly some
what higher price.--Scientific Press.

Shocking Tragedy
Near Reno.

A shocking tragedy occurred at
Laughton's about five miles west of Reno
about 3 O'Clock last Sunday afternoon in
which four persons lost their lives by
drowning in the Truckee river.
The four victims were Morris Jacobs.
Mrs. EIDE, Miss Meta Mcmillan and a
commercial traveller for an eastern firm.
The party attempted TO cross the Truckee
in car suspended from a wire rope
spanning the river at that point. The
car sped rapidly down the incline OF the
cable from the north side of the river
which is booming bank full and when it
reached the middle OF the stream, the
weight Of the four occupants bent the
wire rope to an extent that submerged
the car and they were carried rapidly
down the river by the swift current
Morris Jacobs made heroic effort to
save Miss Mcmillan and succeeded in
getting her within fifteen feet of the
shore when she grasped him around the
neck and arms and both went to the
river bottom. The body of Mrs. Eide
was found Monday evening a half mile
below the place where the car with its
occupants was submerged.
Miss Meta Mcmillan was a native of
Virginia City, where she was a general
favorite and resided ia that city up to
few years ago. 1t is said she was the
flancee of Morris Jacobs who made such
a gallant attempt TO save her life.
The body OF Miss Mcmillan lodged
among the willows on the north bank of
the river, and was discovered by two
Indians who had been engaged in the
search.
Hundreds OF people are searching for
the bodies of the victims of the accident.
Under the direction of Chief OF Police
Leeper electric lights have been strung
across the river at intervals for several
miles and nets have been placed. The
searching party are exploding dynamite
over the sill waters Of the stream, but
thus far their Efforts have been unavail.
ing in recovering the other two bodies.
Owing TO the prominence Of the victims
OF the tragedy, the entire city OF Reno is
in mourning and the river banks are
lined with througs of people.
Mr. Tinsnan was prominent business
man OF Chicago, who was camping at
Langbton's Springs for the benefit of
his health.

This is not the season for the deadly snake bite, but when Messrs. Brown, Wattron, Clark and keiber started on their rab- bit war last Saturday morning they were properly fixed" in case of emergency. We hear it was agreed among them that the remedy" was not to be applied only in cases of dire necessity. A base of supplies was estab- lished at Springer Flat. There the valiant hunters divided into squads of one, but orders were given to guard the hospital. It seems Clark was the first one in need of medical treatment, but as all the guard were "on." the the fear of snake bite disappeared with the remedy. However, the rabbit warriors succeeded in bagging 24 cottontails who stopped to take a look at them and two of the jack" vintage, who made a mistake by coming down the tree too soon. All re- turned about 6 p m., somewhat tired. but we'll pleased with their days sport.
