used for the purpose of blowing off
steam to clean out the boilers of the
companys locomotives. They crawled
way down in the box" where it was
good and warm, and some time during
the night a locomotive pulled up to the
tank anu turned a stream of hot steam
into the chest with all the force of

end of the box by the current of steam

At the next session of the Washoe

Webber, it will be remembered is the
negro who confessed to having attempt
ed to kill Mrs. James E. Harper, whose
home he entered several months ago.
He struck her with an ak as she lay in

Constable La Voy was not so fortunate,
for he hit the rail and bounced from the

A Newsy Letter From Stone
Hatchet

j. w. Ferguson has returned from a
trip to Paradise.
Early last week a man and boy stop
ped here. They stated that they were
searching for a prospector who had 4is-
covered some sixty thousand dollar rock
near a certain butte. They were going
north as far as McDermit, as the place
was described as being near the Oregon
line, but located in Humboldt county.
Their stay called forth considerable ex-
citement, as people foresaw a chance
for a second Tonopah should their
search prove successful.
Mr. Norton, mining man and assayer
from Silver City, Idaho, arrived here
Friday. He intends to spend some time
prospecting in the district, which he re-
CARDS as promising. He states that the

Lieutenant. Co. E, 9Th ILL.,, aged 6s, died
January "a. He was admitted to the
Home from Hollister in 1865 and for sew
eral years was in charge of the quar-
ters assigned to men not yet formally
admitted. Purviance was one of the old
stage drivers in Idaho and Nevada in
the early days of those wild Territories,
and was well known to the pioneers. In
one of the engagements during the war
Purviance received a gunshot wound in
the left hip. which bothered him very
much during the later years of his life.
On the request of relatives of Purviance
Assistant Surgeon George 4. Bahren-
burg extracted from the injured hip of
the deceased a musket ball Weighing
nearly an ounce, which had been there
43 years.
MIR. Purviance was well known to all
old-timers here, and at one time drove

VETOED BY GOVERNOR
Reason for Not Approving Exten-
sion of Time

The Governor has very properly vetoed
Reno may continue to sewer into the
Truckee river The legislature of 1903
passed a bill prohibiting the emptying
of sewer pipes into the Truckee river
after a certain date-190S we think it
was. The Legislature just adjourned
passed a bill extenang the time for the
construction of modern sewage destroy
ing plant and this bill the Governor has
not approved. His letter follows:
To the Honorable the Secretaryof State:
Sir:-I have the honor to deposit with
you without approval Assembly Bill No
125, An act to amend an act entitled An
act to prevent the pollution contain
ination of the waters of the lakes, rivers.
streams and ~itches in the State of Ne
vada"
My objections to the provisions of this
bill are that 1t differs from the act
which it amends in no essential feature,
except to extend the time of completion.
The legislature will assemble again be-
fore the time limit expires, and ii neces-
sary it may be extended. We have sued
our neighbors across the line in Califor-
mia for polluting the waters of the
Truckee river. 1t would certainly be
commendable if we began the practice
among ourselves of keeping the waters
of our streams and lakes as free from
pollution as we wish California to keep
them
contiguous to the Truckee river have
been veryy dilitory in commencing the
system of drainage and sewerage az
required by the law enacted two years
ago. thereby subjecting thousands of
people to the use of the contaminated
waters flowing in the Truckee river.
Not only this, but they have contributed
immensely to it's impurities. rendering
1T more deleterious to both health and
life.
Two years of precious time have been
wasted without any steps having been
| taken to assist those so exposed, and
as there are two years more to run I do
not feel warranted in extending the
time.
Taking into consideration the rapid
growth of Reno and Sparks, work
should. under the law, begin at once
ana be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. Respectfully,
JOHN SPARKS, Governor.
