Nine o'clock in the morning took us to
the edge of Beuna Vista valley. The only
reason 1 can see for calling 1t valley Is
that it is lower than the hill surround ng
it, 1t looked to me more like an oo
basin with its bottom covered with alkali,
salt, "seIf-risingi' ground and brush. and
it is one of the waste spots In Hum
boldts confines. 1t is almost trackless,
and were 1t not for the magnificent
mountains on every side. which, by the
way, are wonderfully fascinating to me,
would think it the spot where nature
got tired and quit before sundown. We
put in all the rest of the forenoon cross
ing this ugly section and about noon en-
tered the mouth of
SPRING VALLEY CANYON,
a spot that has emptied into the lap Of
China several million dollars. for it has
been worked by Cinnamon as placer
ground for twenty years. 1t is said that

Crossing the East range from Kennedy
to Beuna Vista valley the first place we
came to was a little patch of posses
sorry claim occupied by Lou Folsom. at
the head of Say canyon. Mr.. Folsom Is
an old bach" and lives in little willow
rooted cabin alone with his troub es,
which are probably as great to him as a
rich mans. His bull died last winter and
gone forever" Mr.. Folsom puts up
about forty tons of hay off of his little
patch and manages TO eat from the rev.
enue derived from the sale of a few
head of beef every fall. He says that
sometimes a traveller passes his pace
once In two weeks and sometimes once
in two months. He inquired of us if the
war between Russia and Japan was still
on and for the news of the big world
generally. He lives in a little world all
by himself. Mr.. Folsom Is jolly fellow.
If he does live on planet" by himself.
He said to Mr.. Guthrie: bill, come out
to Hard Scrabble and stay a couple of
months and follow me around. and ii
that belly OF yourn don't go down so your
wife don't know ye. I'll never ask you to
come agin.' Mr.. Folsom votes, when he
votes at all. in kennedy. but said. AZ
God takes a notion to make me an agel
OF me before another two years / don't I
know where L shall vote" AS for mail he
gets none and does not take any paper.
Mr.. Folsom is an interesting study In hu-
manity. but one must go to his little
world if he sees him. for he seldom ever
visits "the white settlements"
Coming on down Say canyon the drive
Is uninteresting unless one wants to
turn backward a few years. II he does
he can see evidences occasionally of ac-
tivity when Kennedy was awake, In the
ruins of a stone house, a few juniper

Kennedy and Lovelock in boom times"
An old abandoned ditch and a few holes
are the relics of the time when the canyon
was worked as placer mine by China

DUST TO DUST
The Remains of George Miller
Consigned to the Grave

Winnemucca has not experienced a sad
der day In many year than it has to-
day. Young George Miller, who counted
his friends by the hundreds and who was
one of the most popular young men who
ever lived in the county was borne to
his last resting rlace by loving friends.
The funeral was conducted by Ivanhoe
Lodge, K. of p, of which deceased was
a member, and Winnemucca Lodge f.
and A. M. The Rathbone Sisters and the
Eastern Star and many friends paid
tribute to his worth. The floral pieces
were many and beautiful. A long line
Of carriages followed the young man to
yonder cemetery where his earthly body
was consigned to the tender care of
mother earth.
The mother of deceased and his young
wife have the warmest sympathy of the
community which has known him since
childhood. Mr. Miller was man who
could lily be spared. but an all-wise Prov
idence had willed otherwise and he has
gone.
The bank and business houses generally
closed their places in honor of his MEM
ory. The flag on the High School build
ing, where he graduated only few years
ago, was at half mast. The flags of lne
orders of which he was a member also
hoated at half mast. He was a member
OF the Winnemucca Hose company, and
in fact he had been identified with Win
nemucca in everything of material bene-
mt to the town. May his long sleep be
undisturbed
