Not the least remarkable of all the
achievements Of dumb creatures in the line
of surgery and medicine are those of the
birds. DR.. George NJ. Gould cites instances
of woodcock killed. which when examined
were found to be recovering from previous
wounds Inflicted by hunters. Such wounds
made by small shot In the body of the
bird, were neatly dressed with down plucked
nom the stems of feathers and DEITY ar
ranged about the injured place This work
was evidently done with the beak of the
bird. The skill of members of the feathered
tribe In building their dainty nests is testi-
mony TO their ability in accomplishing work
OF this character with "neatness and dis
patch" OF the success of this work DR.
Gould bears witness in the statement that
the woodcock were found to be oonva-
descent from old wounds. The same au-
thority tells of cases of bone-setting by
birds, which would be beyond belief If man
was not already familiar with the marvel
Gus Intelligence of the lower creatures.
Birds, which have fallen into the hands of
naturalists and which had previously sus-
tained serious wounds on the legs. were
found to have actually reinforced the dress
ing of down with small straws or twigs
just as a doctor would set a broken limb
in splints before applying bandages
To this same fact NJ. Tatio, a naturalist
bears witness, and his statements are borne
out by no less celebrity than Fuhert Du-
monteil Tatio says that no less than ten
times in his experience he has found birds
whose limbs had previously been broken
by shot and the fractured ends had been
neatly Appropriated and hgatured to-
getner He adds that the skill displayed in
this performance would have done credit
to human medical science.
The bee, that wonderful little creature
the organization OF whose community must
always be source OF admiration. is. among
other things, an excellent doctor and goes
about his work in this particular with the
same scrupulous care that he exercises In
all else that he does. Suffering with an
ailrnent they at once turn their attention
from the fields Of clover and sweet-iadened
flowers from which they are accustomed to
derive their honey supply, and devote them
dogwood, poplar, wild cherry or hickory.
Thoughtful bee-xeepers sometimes place
small vessel containing a decocton of wild
cherry In the bee hives during the winter
that the little honey makers may minister
TO their ailments IL they are stricken during
the period when the rigors OF weather
would make it,difficult for them to obtain
remedies elsewhere.
The care of the health Is first considera-
ton with many dumb creatures with which
man has an intimate knowledge Even the
tiny fly that performs its toilet on the win
dow sill is bent on extending his days to
the allotted time Of files by observing clean
liness.

The Reservation is big stretch

mineral land in the Reservation
prospectors should be in the neigh
borhood of this district for few
weeks before the throwing open
of the mineral ground. They will
need some time to familiarize
themselves with the roads, trails,
mountain ranges, passes, etc, and

the trend of the veins on the Res

adjoining country outside of the
Reservation lines, and where, by

With present and prospective

forthwith double its output, were
it not for the great difficulty en-
countered in obtaining wheat in
suitable quantities and at living

put Smith Valley divides its pa
tronage about equally between
this and the Carson Valley mill,
owned by Peter Heitmann. By
way of mill history it should not
be considered out of the way to
make mention of the first grlst
mill in this county, which was
erected in 1868 by w. R. Lee, now
at the Carson Sink. Its capacity
was limited to ten barrels
day. A year later it pass
ed into the hands of Will
liam Wilson, who systematically
conducted the same for three adj
ditional years, after which he
dropped the enterprise as UNI
profitable. Hence the valley was
without a working mill from the
early seventies until the establish
ment of the one just described.
This William Wilson and his
brother David take rank among
the pioneer settlers of this section.
The latter brought his family from
Missouri in 1868, while William
arrived here about two years af-
forwards from Virginia City, where
he had been engaged in several
mining ventures since the first sill
yer excitement on the Comstock
in 1850. To him belongs the
honor of the discovery in 1866, of
the Pine Grove gold mining dis
trict, where he is still residing.
In conclusion let a few words
be said about the water storage
site, situated in the gorge or can
Won of the West Walker, which
forms the dividing line between
Smith and Mason Valleys. Here
nature has provided natural res
ervoir of huge dimensions, being
about seven miles in length and
one and one-half in width, solid
walls of rocks rising to a height OF
200 feet all around. By putting
dam across the river water could
be stored in that vast receptacle to
a depth of sixty feet, furnishing
ample irrigation clear to the Car
son River and to the Walker Riv-
er Indian Reservation. Besides
electric power, similar to that in
Floriston, Cal, would easily be
generated there, and will be at no
distant day.

.HE CHIEF industries of
any agricultural district, like

any agriculture al ulotii1l' ihS
Mason Valley, are too we'll
known to require an elaborate
and defined enumeration.
The discovery, south of this sec.
ton of numerous rich mines and
their subsequent development,
have made such rapid strides in
recent years, with an assured
prospect of continuance for many
more wears to come, that this val
ley must, to use an allegorlCal eX-
preston, strain every sinew and
muscle of energy to bring its vast,
but to a great extent still dormant,
resources to their full development
and yielding standard, i'll order
not to be entirely shut out from
the market these southern mining
districts offer, especially in barley,
and for which many of its prosper
Gus neighbors, including Carson
Valley, have already entered the
field as spirited competitors.
So much for preamble to the
subject matter of this article,
which is the description of the fol
lowing prosperous and steadily
growing industry, and to which
the foregoing may be in part ap-
piled with equal force.
The Silver State Roller Mill was
established in 1891 by David Will
son and his three sons, with an
equal interest for each, on a forty
acre tract, called Nordyke, in honor
Of the chief designer and builder
of this mill and a member of the
firm OF Nordyke & Marmon, In
dianapolis, Indiana, and for the
further reason, to have postoffice,
namesake of which could not be
found in the United States postal
directory. This location, on the
western slope of hills, skirting Ma
son Valley, is eight miles south of
Yerington, and on the direct stage
road from Wabuska to Carson,

been started by the New hampshire
Sunday School association was cr!s-
taIlized here when Governor Iohn NC
Lane and his council asked the su-
preme court of the state to render an
opinion as to the right of the owners
of the track to permit or countenance
mol selling. bookmaking and betting
on races.
The communication to the supreme
court expresses the opinion that unless
such proceedings are already prohibit
ed by law it may he necessary to call
Il special session of the Legislature to
act.
The races which the New England
breeders club plans to conduct at Sa-
lem will be under the jurisdiction OF
the Jockey club. The Breeders club
was granted a special charter by the
legislature in 1903 and is given eXclu-
Sive police jurisdiction on its own
grounds. Under such conditions, it is
charged, it would be impossible for the
state officials to prevent gambling at
the track.
A committee of twelve. including for
mer United States Senator William b.
Chandler. President Tucker of Dart
mouth college and Rev. Thomas Chal-
mers of Manchester, was appointed by
the Sunday School association to bring
the matter TO the attention of Govern
or McLane.
1t is estimated that 100000 has been
expended in building the track and
identifying the race grounds. Andrew
Miller of New York is president of the
club. and Q. ii. =. Belmont and Harry
Payne Whitney. also of @ YORK., are
members of the board of stewards.
