CHAS. D. LANE
STRICKEN BLIND
Mining Man Formerly Interested in
This Camp Loses His Sight in
Nome, Alaska.

Charles ID. Lane, who held the
Chairman mine at this place un-
der bond eight years ago, and
who made millions through his
mining investments, has become
totally blind at Nome, Alaska.
He had been in failing health
for more than Il year, and often
complained of his eyes. He is
now helpless and and is being
cared for by an attendant.
Mrs. Lane will bring her hus-
band down from the north on the
next steamer.
Lane is best known on the Pa
cifc coast through his develop
ment of the Utica mine at An
gels Camp, Cal, which was one
of the largest dividend payers in
the West. He shone in the lime
light of publicity when, as chair
man Of the Silver Party Com
mittee, he led the fight for VIM.
J. Bryan in 1896. 1t was said of
him at that fine that he was the
largest individual contributor to
the cause he championed. He
gained some unenviable notori-
ETY. in September 1903, when he
plead guilty to assault upon Miss
Lena Walton with whom he had
a dispute over mining claims,
and he also figured in a story to
the effect that he held nightly
communication with the spirit
of his former partner, the late
Alvinza Hayware of San Fran
cisco.
His connected with the ILL
fatd Chairman mine here is we'll
known, ,and the mismangement of
the men he placed in chare of
the property and the money that
was wasted in the different en-
terprises he attempted were once
subjects for current comment.
After operating the mine for
over year, and investing $685.
600 in the mine, mill, and power
plant, he threw up his bond and
the property reverted to its for
mer owners.

SURVEY WORK
Completed
Contract for Construction Of Nevada
Northern Railway to be Let at
an Early Date.

The corps of surveyors which
has been surveying between Ely
and 'roano for the Northern Rail
way for the past four months,
has completed its labors. The
camp at Currie' $ ranch, where
the crew has been making its
headquarters, has been broken
up and the men have left for To,

Now that the line has been
surveyed between the two towns
it is probable that the contract
for the construction of the road
will be let and that grading will
be started soon afterward.

Crops Injured By the
Hot Weather and
Insects

Reports from the Adams ranch
at Hot Creek, Nye county, state
that the first crop of alfalfa was
the lightest ever known in that
section. Worms and insects
have done much damage to the
garden produce. Tho Lot wea-
ther has burnt up the grass on
the ranges, and a number of
mountain springs which have
never failed to supply their QUO
ia of water have ceased to flow.
The conditions at Strawberry,
in this county are similar to
those existing at Hot Creek. On
account of the hot weather the
second crop of alfalfa will be
light, The insect pests have
been thriving in the gardens.
The supply of cabbages, beets
and turnips will be rendered
worthless by the work of these
destructive creatures.

Chinese May
Discard Ques

The Celestials in this vicinity
have not taken advantage Of the
opportunity offered them by the
Chinese Emperor to discard their
pig-tails without violating any
of the ancient customs or tradi-

The order went into effect on
August /, and no change in the
usual condition of affairs has
been noticed.
In the past the Chink who re-
moved his que was not allowed
TO return to his native land
without special dispensation,
and anyone who removed that
unnecessary lncum brance was
not held in esteem among his
people. The order has changed,

the sole survivor of the fiftytwo
pioneer settlers of the Oregon conn-
try who voted to establish an Amer
ican civil government in that vast
section on the second dgy of May,
1912. The vote took place at
place at a trading point called
Champoeg, about thirty miles
south of Portland, and was bitterly
opposed by the Canadians and other
subjects of Great Britain who were
present By majority of only two
votes the Americans won, and thus
established the first American civil
government west of the Rocky
mountains. MIR. Matthieu, although
a French Canadian, sided with the
Americans. He has lived ever
since within three miles of the his
toric spot. September IS has been
chosen as the day on which he will

Poor Crops in White River Valley

Commissioner Allen Wakeling
returned last week from short
visit with his family in Lund
and reports that between the
long-continued dry weather and
the chinch bug the crops in
Wite River valley are suffering
terribly, and not more than sixty
per cent of the usual yield will
be produced there this season.
The firsa crop of alfalfa was fair
ly good but the second crop does
net promise much. The grain
crops will fall short of last years
yield and the gardens are almost
complete failures.
