AS no "GUN TOTING. "

The young man who was killed at Wa
conda Springs last Saturday night was
shot by a revolver carried by another
young man to a dance that was going on
at the time the tragedy occurred. The
owner of the gun says he had it in his
coat pocket, which he had taken off and
hung up while he was dancing in the pa
viiOn and from which it was taken. What
sort of use has a young man for a re-
Nolver at a dance in any neighborhood in
Mitchell county? What sort of thoughts
are in the mind of a young man when he
puts a revolver in his pocket on starting
for dance where the respectable young
folks of the community are to congregate
for an evenings pleasure? What use has
any right thinking man not an officer of
the law to carry a gun anyway We have
no earthly use for this gun-toting bust
ness.-Concordia Kansan.

The Lawrence Gazette says there is
really nothing surprising in the fact
that Tom Kelly made the first con-
tributiOn which made possible the
nomination of Governor HOch; but
that the establishment should come
when Hoch and Stubs, both of whom
were made by Kelly, turned upon
their maker and have fought him
every day since he made them As a
matter Of fact the situation admits of
an easy explanation. No sooner was
Hoch in the governors chair than he
was given to understand that he must
either fall in with the Boss Buster
clique and be their tool and servant,

This desert region, extending some $50

with the American prospector miner and
the ever pushing business man. Thus far

shown sufficient large deposits of un-

Besides various cities of Immediately

LOS ANGELES INTERESTED
Want Road to New Nevada
Gold Fields

H w Knickerbocker, the Goldfeld min
ing operator. who returned from a visit
to Los Angeles last week, heard a great
deal concerning what the business men
of that city thought of this great district,
says the Goidfield Review. The Chamber
of Commerce, for instance, has taken
hand In the matter and is working up
much enthusiasm. It is known that the
Los Angeles chamber is the most ener-
getic similar body in the country, and
rarely starts to accomplish a purpose but
that 1T succeeds. 1t has become convinced
that this territory is naturally tributary
to the Angel City, and hence is entitied
to the trade which goes with a great
mining camp, especially when II Is the
nearest trading point.
According to Mr.. Knickerbocker the
Los Angeles Chamber is behind move
ment which is to construct a railroa
from the nearest point on the Clark rail-
road into the Bullfrog and Goidffeld dis
tricts and that work on the same is TO
begin at an early date and hurried to
completion. Should the road be built
these districts will be placed within short
hauling distance to the smelters at both
Los Angeles and Salt Lake--a matter
which will prove of great benefit to the
miners who have both high ana low grade
eres to market.

Appropriation Made by the Sec

the Work

A Washington dispatch dated January

the irrigation proposition in the Walker
River basin:
In the hearings before the Irrigation
Committee today Mr.. Newell chief of
the reclamation service, and "a. 4. Davis,
fore the committee. Congressman Van
Duzer took up the Walker River and
Mason Valley projects. Mr. Newell and
Mr.. Davis stated that this project was
now ready and that work will begin as
soon as the farmers have mutually ad
judicated their rights through the
Water Users Association.
Supervising Engineer Davis said that
the proposed project contemplated the
division of water from the Walker River
to Alkali Lake and from Alkali Lake
back into the Walker River and was the
first unit / nthe development. This
project ultimately means the reclaiming
of 100000 acres of land. The Secretary of
the Interior has set aside 100000 to begin
this work on the Walker River project.

AN IMPORTANT
DISCOVERY MADE
Clark and Frey Strike it Rich
in Southern County
Known Here

A dispatch from Luning, Esmeralda
county, sent out Saturday. contains news
of an important discovery made by
couple of prospectors sent out by a syn
dicate of Winnemucca people, including
VIM. Merchant, ID. ]. Biggins, Tom
Dafenbaugh and Ed. stauffer The dis
patch says:
Within the last few days a rich and i'm
portant strike has been made about two
and one-half miles southeast OF Pactolus
anu about fifty miles northwest of Tono-
pah, and but a few miles southeast of
here on the Lunning and Berline stage
road.
The fortunate parties are Messrs Clark
and Frey, two prospectors. The strike is
an immense as well as a rich one. At
present the lucky men have several ledges
exposed, averaging from four to six feet
in width, carrying values running all the
way from 500 to $1,000 per ton. This big
find was made In the low porphyry hills.
surrounded by lava and extending for a
considerable distance.
A number of claims have been located
on the rich find and several prospectors
are now in the district, which shows a.
indications that the mineral belt is con-
tinuous between Tonopah and Pactolus.
