The Lake is but fifteen miles from
THIS city, only short drive and
place. that can be reached inside Of
three hours at any time. The nearest
point is Glenbrook and one of the
prettiest points on the famous Lake.
Since the, lumber company ceased
operations there has been little to
attract Carson people and in fact the
place is about deserted In spite Of
this fact it offers more inducements
for the home people than any spot on
the Lake. At Glenbrook nearly every
comfort can be found Dan Couilla.d

mountains. An elegant vegetable gar
den is maintained, fresh milk and the
best of butter and diary produce. re
parties wish cottages they can be rent
ed at nominal figure and the fish
ing at this point is the best on the
entire sheet of water.
Parties who wish to be in close con-
nection with their business interests
have a telephone at hand and a daily
mail is delivered three hours after
it reaches this city In fact it is al

of his driving experience. He makes
it a point to accommodate the people

who do spend the summer at the lake
regard him as the guardian angel of
the camp, as everything from box
of eggs to a precious watermelon is
intrusted to his care and they always
land on time and in good shape.
Had Reno or Virginia City the op-
portunity to reach the Lake with as
much ease as has this city, such
place as Glenbrook would be crowded
with their people and summer homes
would be thicker than tents in the
new made mining camps. The place
should be patronized by our people
and they ought to take advantage Of
the chance that is afforded them.

We Will All Wear Diamonds.

DIR. Boylan of Tonopan was a Car
son visitor yesterday He was no
common visitor, as he carried about
a pint of diamonds along with him.
The doctor heard of the diamond
strike at Tonopah and was immedi-
ately on the spot, where he secured
a location along with the other hals
of the population.
The diamonds, or crystals, he GER
tainly has and they are all sizes and
shapes. Some of then are brilliant
and show considerable fire, but AZ
they are uncut there is no telling
what they will look like when they
are cut and mounted. All kinds of
tests are being made regarding the
real character of the stones. Some
of the would be experts maintain the.y
are the simon pure article, while
others say they are crystals. In the
meantime the stones are being given
a thorough test.
1t was stated yesterday that a tele-
gram had been received from Tiffany
stating that they were the real va
iety and that their value was all
right. The truth or foundation of the
report could not be traced out. That
there is some semblance of the truth
in the report is evident from TIE
fact that the original holders of the
claims are guarding them with shot
guns and no one is allowed inside
of the bounds of the original finds.

nearly landed the goods.
Tiv Kreling, manager for Britt. who
+ is also with Goodwin on his HINT for

lowing story on the pair:
Britt and Goodwin are companions
IN the exploitation of the public, and
they like to interchange condolences
on the easiest way of getting rich.
Goodwin advises Britt, every time ne
meets him, to retire from the ring.
It's brutal business Jimmy" says
Nat. You have made mucn money
and you should get out of the bust
ness now. You are a young man and
there is yet time for you to reform,
become respectable and go on the
stage"

your prospects, Nat Britt usually

mers away, telling him he should quit
boxing. Britt commences to get sore.

for lunch. AS they were discussing

any more. I'm going" and he jump

leaving Nat at the table and when
walking out gave the women a glas ~

Wildly the man struggled to free
himself from those awful arms, but all
In vain. Where the innumerable tiny
suckers touched the naked flesh of his
hand they stung and scared like an
electric wire and he felt himself being
drawn slowly but surely toward the
dark hole under the stone, where
lurked the hideous creature which
owned those writing arms.
Palmer is a big, burly man in the
prime of life, and has faced danger in
many forms in the course of his long
experience. But for a moment or so
the unutterable horror of his position
held him spellbound; even his brain
seemed numbed.
Then, slowly, with gliding motion
that was horrible to behold, the crea-
ture beneath the stone began to emerge
AS it came out Palmer beheld with a
shudder the cold, staring eyes and par
rot-like beak of an enormous octopus,

him. seeking a point of vantage where
they could seize hold. Desperately the

Then. one by one, the remaining feel

Shiny, Quivering masses, but irresist-

Palmer, incumbered by his heavy
dress, turned this way and that in his
feeble efforts to avoid the thoughtless-
ness which had sent him down tc the
bottom without even knife.
And now-he looked into those awful
eyes, so close to his own. and could
have screamed with terror. The sick

helplessly in the deadly embrace of
that hideous monster-would have
driven many a brave man raving mad.
1t was useless to struggle-those
Shiny tentacles had the strength of
bonds of steel. He had heard of div

any such proceeding on his part entire
