WATER TO Be
FURNISHED

First or Second Week in
August Will Witness Relief
to Churchill County.

The Carson Sink section is confronted
history OF that country. Several things
have contributed towards bringing about
this condition of affairs which have re-
suited mainly from the recent hot spell
of weather and the fact that last win
ter's snowfall in the mountains was the
lightest known in years. As a conse-
quence the Carson river is dry, and un-
less some sort of relief is had many of
the old settlers will be without water for
even domestic purposes and radical
measures will be necessary.
l.. II. Taylor, supervising engineer
says that the delivery of water has been
temporarily delayed by the slowness OF
lumber firms with whom he has placed
orders for material TO be used In con-
structing the hume work necessary to
complete the canal for the diversion OF
water from the Truckee river to the

small amount of fiume work. When this
is finished water will be furnished tne

II is greatly regretted by those in
charge of government work that una
voidable incidents should have contrib
uted towards causing the present condi-
tions. and they are bending every effort
TO relieve the shortage OF water that
now exists.
Taken all in ALL Churchill county crops
have suffered this year to the extent OF
at least 100000. but when IT is consio-
cred that the government is spending
several millions of dollars for the benefit
OF the section. those affected are dis
posed to overlook the matter and wait
for the more prosperous seasons that
must come with the advent of water.

moment.

The talk of the town is diamonds.
Since Mr.. Hews first communication to

fields was black with vehiclsT carrying
fortune seekers. The ground for rods

after he saw the prospect and they were
diamonds pure and simple without the
slightest shadow of doubt.

claimed they could be seen sparkling in
the ground and that their rays wer,.

believes he has made a discovery whic,t
will net him a comfortable fortune.
Mr.. Hewes who is by all the laws Of
right and justice emitted to the honors

with a thrilling account of his expert
