OF Misunderstanding Between Reno
and Southern Nevada
(Reno Journal.


The Goldield News is doing valiant
work in its efforts to dissipate the cloud
Of misunderstanding that has lowered
ever Reno and the southern country,
as is evidenced by the articles appear
ing frequently in that paper.
Peace seems now assured between the
towns of the Southland and Reno. The
editor of the Goldield News, with the
frankness and fairness that is char
acteristic Of the people of new mining
towns, has thrown tine weight of his
influence on the side of peace and
henceforth the people of Reno can be
assured that before this city is con-
demned it will be given a hearing and
the charges of knocking will be in
vestigated.
There is no question but that there
has beer fault on both sides; neither
is there a doubt but that both com
munities and the state at large have
suffered in consequence. ne southern
towns have been sincere in the belief
that they had a number of enemies to
combat in Reno, and Reno, in turn,
resting under a charge that every good
citizen felt was false and unwarranted,
retire. within itself and preferred to
suffer whatever might be inflicted and
trust to time to make the matter right.
The whole trouble could have been
avoided had there been an organization
of business men in either town to take
up and discuss the matter and find out
where the misunderstanding originated.
Instead of this sensible way of settling
the trouble, we have permitted the sore
10 remain open to be irritated by every
measly and contemplate skunk who
had a real or fancied grievance against
either town.
In the great awakening that has
taken place in Nevada during the past
three or four years due largely if not
entirely to the discoveries to the
south of us, we nave lost sight of the
necessity for cooperation between the
different communities. In this short
period we have seen the silent wastes
of Esmeraida and .Nye counties crossed
with railroads and prosperous cities
spring up almost in a night peopled by
citizens from widely separated sections
with diversified ideas. While these
transformations have taken place in
the desert, Reno has grown from a
town of $500 to a city of 10000 people,
and incident to this change is the usual
business activity which has a tendency
to make us, not Indifferent, but neg
lectful of that harmonious feeling 90
necessary socially and in a business
way for our mutual ~well-being. Both
sections have perhaps been too self
conferred in the past, and it is pleasing
to note that we have come to a reali-
zation that communities as individuals
are interdependent and the good Of one
is the good Of all.
The Journal can be relied upon to
bend all of it's efforts to a closer CO.
menting Of the ties that should binl
these sections. Each community is the
complement of THO other, each possess
ing in abundance what is lacking in the
other, and hence every business and
social instinct demands that the most
cordial relations should exist between
as.

CHRYSOPRASE.
CALIFORNIA; Contribution to the
Tomb of the Russian Gar.

In writing up the citrus belt of the
Tulare county foothills, correspond
ent of the Los Angeles Times speaks
incidentally of the mineral wealth uf
that section as follows:
although we are only yet at the
beginning of things, the developments
in this direction are already consider
able. Granite of the finest quality
Is being quarried, and shipped to
considerable distances. Tale and
magnesite are both mined, and are
locally milled for the market. But
the most interesting mineral of all
is chrysoprase, an applegree variety
of chalcedony. Every pound of this
stone that can be found is sent to
Russia, where it is said the Gar is
using it tor the inIaying of his tomb.
The gem stone used to be considered
almost valueless in Tulare county,
but now it fetches up to $500 or s400
per pound for fine specimens. Several
hills from Lindsay southwark are
being continuously worked for this
chrysoprase.

DRAG BONES FROM THE SEA
Remnants of Antediluvian Animals.
Caught by Fishermen Of
Dogger Bank.

In the days when Great Britain and
Ireland were geologically, not -.
litically-and were part of the conti-
nent of Europe; when the Irish sea,
the Bristol channel, the English chan
mel, and even the North sea were mere
ly fertile valleys, various prehistoric
beasts had a vast field on which to
roam.
Edward Martin, in an article in
knowledge, describes how these lands
became submerged, and how, when the
great North sea plain sank beneath the
waves, the Dogger island, as it may
be called, was the last to go.
Here the wild animals would natur-
ally congregate as they were driven
little by little from their old haunts by
the ever-advancing sea, and here they
were all finally entombed when their
last resting place disappeared.
And now it is a common thing for
the trawlers on the famous fishing
ground, which is all that remains of
the island, to catch among the fish a
bone or two which originally formed
part of an antediluvian animal
Indeed, the skeletons are said to be
so numerous on the Dogger bank that
scarcely a trawl is brought up which
does not contain bone or a tooth of
one of the ancient inhabitants of the
submerged island.

ther indications of Russian aggres-
sion, theYeddo government dispatched
ENJOYS to Europe, and to these st.
Petersburg now definitely proposed
that the whole of Saghalien should
be regarded as Russian territory.
Japan acquiring in exchange the
worthless island of Iturup and three
still more worthless islets in its v1cin-
ity. Of course the ENJOYS declined.
They preferred the system of common
possession, and so it was agreed that
the subjects of each empire should be
at liberty to settle anywhere and
everywhere throughout the island.
Cutting the Dogs Tail.
There could be only one issue of a
system under which the methods of
Russia were directed by official pur-
pose, while those of Japan depended
upon individual caprice. Besides,
the Russians had knowledge which
the Japanese lacked; they knew how
to colonize without colonists. By and
by the unoccupied parts of the island
were found to have become the prop
cry of Russian subjects who existed
only in names inscribed upon wooden
posts, and in 1875 Japan had prac-
tically no choice except to step out
of Saghalien altogether, receiving in
exchange the Kuriles, to which she al
ready possessed at least as good title
as Russia. This story is beginning to
present itself again to the memory of
the Japanese in view of the fact that
Saghalien is now a very fine property
on account of It's fisheries. In 1898
the value of the fish taken byJapanese
subjects was 1,192, 4O4 yen, and the
value of the fish taken by Russians,
l, ,679, ,6O7 yen; which total Isl, 435, 000)
could be multiplied several times if
the Japanese had free hand.
What imparts additional interest to
the matter is that Saghalien sends
annually nearly 5 1,000, 900 worth of
fish manure to Japan, and the stop
page of this supply would embarrass
Japanese agriculturists. On account
of all these things the fishing folk OF
Hokkaido, which is separated from
Saghalien Dy the narrow strait of La
Perouse, urgently petitioned their
government, at an early stage of the
war, to send an armed expedition for
the purpose of recovering possession
of Saghalien, or should there be in
convenience IN Immediately under
taking such task officially, than
these fisherman prayed for permission
to add arms to their usual tools of
trade and to be granted free hand.
Their application could not at the
time be granted, but they at all
events succeeded in directing public
attention to Saghal1en.

THE SURVIVAL OF ANIMALS
How the Various Species Manage to
Escape determination by Nat
ural Enemies.

How Is the balance of life on the
globe maintained? Why have not spe-
cies exterminated species? Why have
not the birds exterminated the insects,
and the hawks and owls exterminated
the birds? Because the insects are so
much more prolific than the hawks and
owls. The hawks and owls are also
more restricted as to food. The more
adaptive an animal is the greater are
the chances of surviving, writes John
Burroughs, in Outing. If wolves and
foxes could browse like deer and sheep
and rabbits, they would be as numerous
as these latter species.
The potato bug has unduly increased
in the east because its food is abundant
and its enemies have not appeared. The
forest worms threatened to destroy the
maple woods of some sections till it's
enemy, the ichneumon fly, appeared.
Rabbits have increased unduly in Aus
tralia because their natural enemies
have not kept pace.

Homicide in Tuolumne.

George Jones, a native of Scotland,
aged Ct, has been killed and his
murderer, George Atherton, is in Jail.
The crime was committed on the
Charles Jones ranch, on Yosemite
road, above Hamilton's, a distance
of forty miles from Sonora. at IL
o'clock Saturday morning Aug. 10.
The coroner found the body in the
condition In which it had sunk to
the ground twenty-seven hours before
face down body huddled and right
leg bent under. 1t was in sight of
the ranch house. An examination
revealed that the bullet had entered
the breast, passed through the heart
and out at the back; making a clean
cut hole. No powder marks or burns
we're on shirt or flesh. From Gala
her it was learned that deceased was
under the influence of whisky as
were the others-that he had spoken
in vengeful manner against the gang
and had lntimated that he intended
to disfignre some one before leaving
the place. He was not vicious in
disposition. AS to the murder, the
only explanation is that given by
Atherton. He states that he met
Jones; he had a 32-cal. Winchester
rife; there was a quarrel; Jones
attempted to shoot him, snapped the
rifle twice; he made cIinch, wrested
from Jones the rifle two times. He
pleads elf-defense.
Evidence is that one shot was fired,
as only one shell was found and a
loaded one was in the rifle.
Deceased had been in that region
less than five weeks and Atherton
went there the Monday previous to
the murder. Facts of the crime are
known alone to the slayer and his
version is as intimated above. Mother

Wednesday afternoon there was a
cave of the bank at the clay pit at
Doschville which resulted in the Grip
pling of horse so badly that he had
to be killed and the wrecking of a
wagon. Fortunately none OF the men
we're hurt, although the whole force
was in the danger zone when the cave
started, but all luckily escaped.
There are about a dozen tons of clay
precipitated by the cave.-Echo.
Wednesday noon last the Jackson
stage met with an accident. The
driver had just hltched his team in
front of the Leger Hotel, as is his
usual custom, when one of his ami
mails became suddenly i'll and fell
across the pole of the vehicle break
ing the same. Our local Vulcan, A.
E. Siegel repaired the pole so that
the driver could make his regular trip

A couple of men who had been out
threshing came into town when they
got paid off to have a good time.
They drank considerably and got full
and we're then carried into the back
yard of the saloon. When the men
got sober they found they had been
robbed. They demanded their money
back from the fellows who carried
them out of the saloon, but they all
denied knowing anything about the
money.-Echo.
Wednesday morning little Joe Fran
cisco, the 6-year-old son of Horace U.
Francisco and wife, had the misfor-
tune to shoot himself through the
right foot with 22-caliber rifle, the
accident happening at the family
home near Clay.
The older boys had been in the
habit CT taking the rifle out with
them each day while herding the tur-
keys, but we're always careful not to
leave cartridge in the chamber of
the gun. On Tuesday, however, some
neighbor boys had the rifle out and
when putting it away failed to ex
tract the cartridge.
When little Joe saw the gun stand
ing in its accustomed place Wednes
day morning, he picked it up and evil
IDENTIFY began to investigate it, as it
was discharged and the bullet went
through his right foot, striking one of
the metatarsal bones and glancing. 1t
is not believed that the bone is badly
injured, and it is likely the wound
will soon heal and the little fellow be
all right. Echo.

COUSIN TO THE KAISER.
Who, by Facetious Inference, Was
None Other Than His Sa-

Emperor William of Germany, while
Impatient of any crossing of his de-
sires, is not always the arbitrary per
sonage he is painted, says the New
York Herald. In turning him from
ais desires humor is a more valuable
aid than logic, and none knew thi:
better than the Baron Boetticher,
one time secretary of state for the in

There was under discussion the
names of numerous eligibles for va
caDcies to be filled. To most of thesi
William gave ready assent, but wher
l certain office was reached on the lis
lie declared that that appointment
must go to one of his personal friends
instead of to the one indicated.
AS tactfully as possible the baror
Urged upon his royal master the utter
lnfitness of his favorite, bringing ar.
5ument to bear that under other cir
:umstances would have been unan-
;werable At last even the emperor
lad to retreat before the array OF
acts, and as compromise the baron
asked whether there was not some
other favorite to whom the appoint,
ment might be given.
Confer it upon the devil himself,
stormed the kaiser, who had worked
himself into a passion.

away as though by magic.

Secret of Violin Varnish.

1t has long been suspected that tho
master makers of violins in Italy i'll the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
knew of some remarkable gum which
they employed in making the varnish
for their instruments. Mr.. George FRY,
of the Chemical society, London, who
has carefully investigated the subject.
concludes, after showing that the var
nish exercises decided influence over
the tone of violin, that Stradivarius
and other famous makers probably
used only linseed oil and resin rather
than some mystical gum. The resin
was oxidized with nitric acid. 1t is
doubted whether the popular idea that
age is advantageous rather than detri-
mental to violin is well founded

Charcoal is good for hens. An ear

it IN convenient form.
Sunfower seed produces oil of an
excellent quality, and is said to be
good feed for both poultry and sheep.
Old hens, as rule, take on fat
more readily than the young ones.
As the fat increases, the eggs
decrease.
Good care prevents disease in the
case of most of all animals. The
troubles to which they are subject are
due in nearly all cases to improper
treatment.
An Indiana orchardist says that in
localities where is a thin soil over an

Every pound of flesh lost will have
to be made up again when the pasture

this means often more than loss of
flesh; it means loss of growth.
In six months wheat will shrink in
