NUMBER &
Telephone Office Reinstalled.

Under the supervision of manager
Karge, workmen were busy Saturday
and Sunday reinstalling the telephone
system that was recently put out of
commission by the fire. Central is
now located in their new qurrters in
Behrman building. The lines leading
from "centraP' are incased in a lead
pipe connecting with the lines ON the
pole oppoite the Gardnerville saloon.
The switch board is somewhat larger
than the old one. The public office
will be in separate room which will
be great convenience as it will be
more quiet and secure more secrecy.
Manager karge by securing the latest
appliances for the telephone serv-
ice here has greatly improved it both
in the transmission and the receiving
of messages at the local office and all
along the line.

ELECTRIC PLANT
FOR VALLEY

An electric light and power plant
IS not one of the remote possibilities
for this Valley. The question of
establishing a plant on the Carson
river above Rodenbah's has been un-
der consideration for some time by a
company of capitalists in Carson and
Reno. The matter of sufficient and
continuous power has been gone into
thoroughly, and finally the conclus-
ion has been reached that if sufficient
indueement in the way of furnishing
lights and power can be secured that
it is likely that more than speculative
work will be done looking toward the
completion of a plant. 1t has long
been the dream sof certain capitalists
to establish plant on the Carson to
furnish power and lights to the peo-
pie of this Valley, but in every instan-
ee the project has fallen through be-
cause of the lack of proper induce
ment and not overcrowded field for
the disposal of the power. Now as
time advances and more power is be-
ing employed all the time for different
purposes, it is highly probable that
enough power service could be secur-
ed to pay good rate of interest on the
outlay necessary in putting in the
plant.
That electric power would do much
to assist the users of power in their
operations goes without saying, but
its possibilities for future use is be-
yond computation. Engineers have
reasoned that with cheap power all
tha land on the fiat could be put un-
der cultivati ON, by the installation of
small individual pumping plants on
the land in question. Its use could
be utilized in industries that are now
dormant because of the cost of power
in their operation. That something
will be done in the way of procuring
electricity is now an almost assured
fact The Carson river has unlimited
advantages in the way of water power
to operate the plant, and as to loca-
tion, any where from Rodenbah's up,
would be an ideal place to install a
plant and secure enough power for all
purposes.

R. R. COMPANY
MEAN BUSINESS

For the past ten days surveyors
have been in the fields surveying a
route for the V. & 7. up Carson Val
ley Road Master Kirk is at the head
of the survey while number of Car
son boys are acting as assistants
Three routes are being gone over
with the ultimate intention of select
ing the one that offers the best grades
and the least expense in construction.
1t will be several weeks before a final
decision can be made regarding the
selection of the most feasible sur
vey.
Like all new business ventures
there are rumors of a dozen brands
afloat IN circulation. One of them
was to the effect that a piece of land
for a depot site had been bought in
Gardnerville. When traced to head
quarters it resulted in rumor only, as
the management has not decided on
this point by any means. When the
surveys are finished it will be time to
select depots and other necessities
that go with a railroad.
The fact that there is a general re-
vival in mining to the south is one
of the items that has prompted the
building of the road. With the V &.
T. as far south as Gardneryille it
means a day shorter haul to Bodie, Au-
rora and other camps that are taking
on new life and freight will naturally
come this way instead of going over
the Hawthorne grade, as one day out
of Gardnerville and the up hill work
is over.
The majority of the hay crop that
is raised in Carson valley is now sold
to Tonopah and the Southern section
and with the road almost touching the
farms the hay and produce can be
loaded direct and save time and mon
ey to the consumers at the other end
of the line. Considerable of the hay
that is raised in the upper Smith val
ley can be shipped by this route and
save a long haul to the c. & c. r. r.
These facts have been looked into
by the management of the road and in
a measure have prompted the surveys
and proposed building. 1t is more
than probable that the road will be
in operation before the summer is
over--Appeal

Advantages of San Francisco for a
Business Education Over
Smaller Towns.

Six months, or year, spent in San
Francisco at a big business college,
like the California, is worth perhaps
as much to the country boy directly
from his associations as the training
he gets at the College. Coming in
contact with 50 many busy people
wears off the rough corners, gives him
confidence in himself, teaches him to
meet people face To face and talk
clearly and to the point TO them with
out embarrassment. If his surround
ings are right, the moral influence is
helpful, ard not harmful. lie will not
only study the business phase of a
great city in all its thousand special
lines but will visit the numberless
places that are open To him without
charge, such as the Union Iron Works,
the great manufacturing plants, the
public museums and parks, and thus
get an education outside of his college
studies that he could never acquire
while attending business college in
small interior town. If he desires to
stay there and go into business; there
thousand opportunities open to him
to where there is one in the small
town, and he can thus turn his educa-
tion into cash at once If he desires
to return home, he comes back n
broader, keener, more progressive boy
by far than he would from the small
town.
/such a College as the California at
San Francisco. with tho additional
education facilities of the City, will do
hundred per cent more for your boy,
or your daughter than can possibly lie
done by any small business college in
the local country town, no matter
how good the school may be, and at
the same cost.

MINING OUTLOOK
OF this COUNTY

Copper has come up in the market
to ID cents a pound. This is a raise
from II cents at the beginning of the
Year Copper mines all over the
country are again being looked after
and before the year rolls around,
most of the COPPER mines that closed
down owing to the low price of the
metal, will be running in full blast.
Douglas county has within her borders
several promising outlooks that would
undoubtedly pay we'll for the explora-
tion work necessary if the price of the
metal would keep up to the present
notch. The great trouble up to now
has been in a measure, on account of
the unsteady market, when prospects
were about to be put in shape for
active Development, the bottom fell out
of the market, with the result that
nothing worth mentioning was done
in the way of active development
work.
The mines back of Genoa and in the
region near Smith valley have at times
been in a fair way to be actively de-
veloped by capitalists but every time
it was ''potters luclz'', the stimulation
being removed. Had the copper
situation remained as it was several
years ago, it is entirely likely that the
smelter would have been running to-
day. The company was in a position
at one time to have secured an out
put of copper ore that would have
supplied the smelter for several years,
but as above stated the market price
was such that the enterprise had to be
abandoned for the time being. AS all
will remember the smelter was erect
ed primarily to smelt copper, and
would have, with few slight changes,
have done the work in a satisfactory
manner. People have generally be-
come imbued with the idea that the
smelter had to be abandoned because
of the lack of ore, let that idea be inn
mediately dispelled for such is not
the case, but the market for the pro-
ducts was controlled by men who
mine out of the pockets of the miners,
and consequently an undertaking that
ment thousands to this valley and
vicinity had to be abandoned. But
why lament? Why look at the dark
side of the past? Let us forget it and
go cheerfully and bravely forward and
deyelope the immense possibilities
OF Douglas county in mining, agricul-
ture and economic advancements.
Stamp on the character of every en-
terprising man in letters of emblazon-
ed light the words, ''do not knock"
If the first smelter did not ''pan out''
and circumstances warrant, profit by
past experience and build one that
will do the work. If you fail to get
rich ON the first location it is no indi-
cation that you have failed to find the
right spot.

Teachers Institute a Success.

The Teachers Institute, held in the
school house Friday and Saturday
was called to order promptly at $50
by County Superintendent Brockliss.
who in a speech of some length, ex-
planned the purposes of the meeting
and the benefits that was hoped would
accrue from the discussions of the
various subjects on the program.
Romanzo Adams, professor of
Pedagogy at the University of Neva-
da, was the first on the program, and
delivered an address on the Teaching
of American History, its Purpose and
its Method. Professor tBuehanan fol-
lowed with a model class in history.
The discussions following were con-
Quoted by Prof. Adams, and the sub
iect of American History was thoro-
ughly discussed from every stand
point.
The Friday afternoon session was
taken up mostly with the subjects of
Geography and Natural History. Miss
Pohl Of the East Fork school, read
most interesting paper on the "Value
of a School Library" Miss Mills
followed with model class in Geo
graphy. The discussions being con-
Quoted by Prof Adams. Professor
p. b. Kennedy delivered an address on

good to the schools of the county.
Superintendent Brockliss is to be
congratulated for his efforts in bring
ing about the meeting of the
teachers. All the districts in the
county were represented, and the
teachers by taking such deep interest
in the matter have done much to inn

CITY BUILT ON RUBIES.
Rests Upon GemEnriched
Soil.

Mogok, city in the northern Shan
States of Burma, is literally built upon
rubies," says the BOoklovers Magazine
The earth in the streets and Enclosures
'is of crystalline limestone formation,
containing numerous veins of gem-bear-
ing gravel" The numerous houses
and pagodas represent so many rubies
converted into cash. The houses Of
MogoB are practically the dwelling
places only of rubySmines and merchants
and their families, and each pagoda is j
votive offering to the gods, for luck! 1T
is said," continues this writer, that a
king would be ruling at Mandalay to-day
if it had not been for the rubies and Mo-
gok still have been an obscure village
with few score of inhabitants had there
been no rubies in the vicinity whereas
now there are about 100000 people of
every color and hue-the Englishman,
American, the Frenchman and German,
the Armenian, pure native and Jew
MOgok is so far removed from the or
binary tourists track that few venture
there who are not on business bent, Ow-
ing to the difficulty of travel in Burma
Fair promise of gain will tempt men
to go anywhere in search of it. Some go
to burning South Africa for diamonds.
and others go to frozen Alaska for gold.
Even so men go to Burma for rubies.
For the ruby ranks next to the diamond
among precious stones, and holds pre-
miership all its own among the colored
gems with which men and women love
to bedeck themselves. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that many should search for
a stone that is brother to the amethyst,
the sapphire and the topaz, and which
not infrequently outranks the diamond
in value, being, in fact, the gem of gems
of the east. A fawless five-karat ruby
will bring twice as much as diamond of
equal weight, while ten-ka..&: ruby
will bring three times as much, az i can
not to be bought for less than S., 0t%"
