DROWNED AT WALHALLA.
A WaIhaIIa Man Peristled While Going Home
Sm0thered in a Water Hole.

Geo. Kenyon, a laborer, fell into hole
beside the north approach to the I'm
perial elevator, Tuesday night and was
drowned. The hole was dug to fill up
the approaches to the driveway. The
late snow storm had filled the hole with
water, and as Kenyon was going home
he stumbled and fell into the hole, stun
ming himself when he struck, and was
drowned before coming to. The tragedy
brings out the sympathy of the COM
munity for the wife of the deceased and
their two young children. The deceased
was member of the Workmen society
in good standing and carried policy for
$4,000.
Wednesday morning, owing to the
anxiety of his wife, few young men
made search for him, but up to noon
no tidings having been learned concern
ing him, a larger party started out after
dinner, and at about three o'clock p. m.
their labors we're rewarded by discover
ing Kenyon's dead body. His face was
under the water sufficient distance to
smother him.
Wednesday, June 14th will be Flag
Day, and the 128th anniversary of the
adoption of the stars and stripes as the
flag of the United States. For several
years the day has been observed as
national anniversary by many states and
communities, and the custom has spread
with great rapidity, until there is hard
ly town that does not give patriotic
thought to Old Glory on the day.
Mayors and school officers are asked to
by the American flag association, an Or
ganization formed "to promote reverence
for and prevent desecration of the flag of
our country" to help make observance
more general this year than ever before
1t is desired that flags be displayed on
all public buildings and upon private re-
sidences. Appropriate exercises in the
in the public schools are requested and
these are outlined in circular mailed
by the flag association. Flag Day in
this city has never been observed to any
great extent, the only sign of the day on
display being the stare and strips about
the city. This year, however, it probable
or possible that an effort will be made
to get up an appropriate Flag Day ser
vice. The fact that June l4th so direct
ly follows Decoration Day and It's exten-
sive commemoratory program rather
affects Flag Day and makes it of less
Importance to the average mind.

The Sign is Right.

Nevada is hearing nothing but
good news these days. With the
installation of irrigation and the
increase of the gold output comes
the information that silver is on
the rise again. Bar silver was
quoted at 64s cents per o., the
highest figure attained subsequent
to January 2nd, 1901. Low water
mark in the price of the white
metal was touched about three
years ago, when it was quoted at
46 cents per ounce. That further
advance is imminent is the opin-
ion of mining operators on both
sides of the continent, some of
them forecasting rise in value of
the despised metal to 81 before the
close of the year 1906.
A remarkable feature of the rise
is that the value of silver as a COM
modify is now greater than its
value as coin, and it is even
possible that Mexico and Japan
may have to take measures to
protect their silver coin from being
melted down for shipment out of
those countries for sale in other
lands.
The increase of the value of sill
yer is due of course to the great
increase in the output of gold, the
cheapness of which means the
dearness of everything else. And
Nevada, by contribution to the in
crease Of the one product, is for
tunate to be able to increase the
value of the other.

Did Not Keep
Books.
Shortage of the Officials
OF Lincoln County.

W. Henry Moore, who has been
exporting the Lincoln county
books, submitted his report to the
County Commissioners at a special
meeting of that body Monday. 1t
was shown that James A. Nesbitt
was short in his accounts MS County
Clerk $22 and as County Treasurer
$l, ,764.04. III. j. Goodrich, as
County Clerk, was short S200.15,
as County Treasurer 81 ,243.02.
James A. Nesbitt, who was pres
ent at the meeting, as soon as the
report was read, dumped out sack
containing gold, silver and green
backs to the total amount of ST.
$500, saying: Gentlemen, here
you are. | would have paid this
money long ago had l have known
the amount.
No books had been kept at all in
the Treasurer's cffice for whole
year. 1t is believed that the sure
ties ON Goodrich's bond will make
good his deficit.

STATE NOTES.
A Few Short Items of Interest
Around the State.

The Jumbo mining company OF
Goldfield has declared dividend
of 10 cents per share.
The State has purchased for $4,-
GOO the pavilion in Carson, east of
the State Printing Office.
Three shifts of men are at work
retim bering the Lawton shaft on
the Eureka Con mine at Eureka,
Nevada.
Judge Richard Nash, Justice of
the Peace of Reno, died at that
place last Friday after a long i'll
ness. His death marks the pass-
age of a much loved man.
Governor Chamberlain has ap-
pointed John M. Gearin U. S.
Senator to fill the vacancy caused
by the dee tn of Senator Mitchell.
Mr.. Gearin will be the first Demo-
cratic Senator Oregon has had
since 1878. He will hold the office
until March 7th, 1907.
Steven Stajoinyich, employed in
one of the mines at De Lamar, had
both his eyes blown out and his
face terribly lacerated in an explo-
sion. He drilled into a missed
hole and when his drill struck the
giant powder it exploded with
fearful effect, tearing both eyes
from their sockets and leaving his
face bare of flesh.
Warden Considine has the larg-
est force employed in twenty years
at work in the rock quarry at the
State Prison getting oat building
stone for the new Supreme Court
building and State Library. A
large force is also employed in the
stone cutting shed under direction
of Contractor Peter Burke.-Car-
son News.
John Lumkone, employed in the
North Star mine at Tonopah, is
dead from terrible accident that
occurred in the shaft between the
200 and 30O-foot level. He had
loaded the cage and given the sig
nal to hoist. The cage shot up
ward, but the engineer noticed
that it dragged heavily and stopped
it at the 200-foot level. He then
elm bed down to investigate and
noticed the body of Lumkone

Things Looks
Favorable.
The Year 1906 Will No
Doubt be a Prosperous
One in This Section.

Winter has begun early and
from the indications will be t.ne
long to be remembered by the peo-
pie of this section. Our farmers,
stock raisers and flock masters are
happy over the assurance of an
abundance of water and feed for
the coming season. The NEvADAN
looks for a good year: the crop
prospects were never better. The
construction of the new railroad
will add to our population; min
ing prospects are looking better
than ever and we believe a great
deal of mining will go on close to
home. Some of the great mining
firms are beginning to look this
way with determination of doing
something. 1t is safe to say that
Lander county will receive close
attention from people who are not
only prominent, but eminent, in
the business, and that the develop
ment of this county will be given
great impetus and will proceed
along the most approved lines.
Battle Mountain will share In
the general prosperity and no
doubt will grow and be town
with double its present population.
LII every resident in our little town
will lay aside his or her narrow
prejudiees, the town will be mach
stronger and better in every way.
Let US keep on working for the
betterment of our town. We must
unite in order to work together.
Let every one know that some re-
sponsibility rests upon their shoul-
ders and then try to do something
for the towns advancement and
you will be surprised at the won-
ders which can be accomplished by
little united effort. Don't waste
valuable moments in idle gossip
about what your neighbor is doing;
get in and do things yourself
Put away the little hammer and
boost instead of knock. Try this
remedy and see if you are not hap
pier and better satisfied with your
self.
We can say that Lander is a
good county, although her mining
industry has not been developed
to any extent, and her agricultural
interests have not been anywhere
near fully developed, but these
conditions are bound to be RENE
died and we look for it at no dis
tant date. When Lander is devel-
oped to her fullest she will not
only feed many more head of stock
than she now has, but will be more
prosperous on all lines.

FROM, jacksonville
To CLOVERPORT
RumOrs That New Railroad Is
Financed by L.&A.

The proposed railroad from Madison
vile via Hartford to Fordsville or Clo-
verport seems 10 be almost assured.
Surveyors are sighting the way and the
local promoters are using diligence in
procuring the remaining right-of-way.
Il looks a 20 from the Madisonyille
point Of observation.
The Madisonville Hustler says Of the
outlook:
"1t is considered a sure thing that
the railroad from Madisonville to Glow
export or some other point on the Ohio
river will be built without much delay.
The surveyors are now in the field
locating the line and there is little
dolbt that they are now locating Il
where Il will finally 20. II is evident
to the person who studies the matter a
little that the work in connection with
the Cloverport proposition has been
carefully planned and has been ably
managed up to this time. and Il would
seem that little. II anything remains to
be done to perfect the scheme origi-
nally decided upon by the promoters.
OF course. there are all sorts Of
rumors in connection with the owner
ship and operation Of the road. The
promoters have carefully kept their
ultimate purpose secret and the pub
lie can only surnise as to what system
will control the Cloverport line when
built. II Is being ostensibly promoted
By parties at Hartford and Madison
VILE. Il Is no secret that the road
when built is TO be turned over 70
somebody.
The latest rumor is, and Il seems TO
have pretty good foundation that the
l.. and n. is behind the proposition.
that the line will run from Madison
vile to Fordsville. where a branch line
OF the Texas reaches. and that the
branch be used for reaching the Ohio
river"
II the L. 4 n. railroad company Is
backing the scheme there Is no better
assurance that the road will be tuili

boom TO Ohio county people. Here's

Joplin, Mo-, July %. The zinc ore
market was strong all Of last week,
the price being advanced as much as
SO per ton on some lots Of fancy ore.
The increase in price was due TO the
shortage in production and the fact
that additional buyers werein the field.
The action Of Secretary Of the Treas
ury Shaw in ruling that a duty Of 20
per cent ad valorem should be paid on
imports Of zinc ore, haspractically pro-
hibited the importation Of all ore from
British Columbia and forced the spelter
manufacturers using that ore into the
home market. The production last
week was fully 1000 tons short and will
be much less this week, due to the fact
that the floods have put several mines
out Of business.
