The Holy City.

Sometimes memory comes to us
with rush, bearing with it the
image OF forgotten scene that the
years had buried deeply. 1t came
to me the other evening at the
Methodist church, when those
fresh girlish voices were singing

A Special from Santa Fc to the

The stage arriving at Silver

ing stage hold-up in recent years.
Between Alma and Silver City
several mounted men halted the
stage with drawn revolvers. fore
ing the stage driver to hold up his
hands. The passengers were or

Among the passengers was Rob

and a we'll known and wealthy cat
tie man. One of the bandits stat
ed that his name was Robert Hol-
liman, and that Hannigan's son
owed him large amount of money.
He forced the oil man to sign a
note for the amount, and then or
dered the stage to go on, saying
he would keep Hannigan as a hos

A series of articles on ARTS and
Crafts and Industries is begun in
the March New Idea Woman's
Magazine with an account of the
making of jewelry and designing
in metal, in which it appears many
women are now not only engaged
but successful. Some charming
pieces are shown as the work of
Miss Jane Carson, of Cleveland,
and others, including brooches.
watch fobs, lamps. jewel boxes,
tongs, etc. The writer, Miss Della
Austrian, is very optimistic con-
cerning the outlook for women in
this craft. There are other wo-
men," she says, in the East and
West who are doing artistic work
in metals and in the fashioning of
jewelry. They are one in the
opinion that this work gives de-
light and worthy remuneration to
such as possess talent and perse-
verance. They say that there was
time when a strong prejudice
was felt against women craft
workers, and that Americans pre-
ferred to buy their jewelry in
Paris instead of patronizing the
artists of their own country, but
that this is no longer the case.
American women want able and
artistic work, and because these
workers possess the talent and
perseverance needed, they have
won recognition and are enjoying
the fruits of their efforts"

THE NEXT RUSH.
The Reservation and the Entire Walker Riv-
er Coutry Will Experience Boom.

The next rush that Nevada will
see in the way of mines will be
toward the Indian Reservation
along Walker Lake and River.
This particular piece of ground is
looked upon as rich in mineral
bearing ores, as from time to time
the Indian and white prospectors
have brought in rich specimens
from the district. Many a white
man has carefully entered the
ground, and in a secret way has
prospected to his satisfaction.
Most of such prospectors have left
hurriedly. as the Indians have
kept the reservation patrolled and
the white brother has not been
welcome, but with the prospect of
the opening of the denied ground,
many are camping close to the
trail and the secrets of the big dis
trict will be given the world be-
fore the Summers sun has closed.
Probably one reason that the
ground has the greatest enchant-
ment is the fact that the white
man is told he cannot go there. To
the average man this is a chal-
lenge, and this has led to many
exaggerations of the wealth of the
district. 1t is possible and more
than likely that a score or more of
great mines will be uncovered in
the reservation, but there will not
be riches for all, as the section is
like all others, the mineral lays in
belts and the fortunate will find
pay rock.
From the inquiries and calcula-
tons it is believed that at least
FIVE thousand men will rush over
the territory in short time. They
are coming from every section, as
the letters to the agents show. OF
the thousands who tramp the hills
many will not find what they want
and will go to the other districts
that offer chances. Such places as
Masonic, Aurora, Bodie, Mono
Lake, Como, and in fact every
mineral-bearing zone of western
Nevada is coming in line for the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1906-03-10

the necessary supplies for pros.
pecting trip. Hay, grain, pro-
duce, provisions, burros or horses
can be had here at reasonable
prices, and the distance is short to
the mineral grounds of the Reser-
vation.
On the western edge of the val
ley lies the Mason Valley range
of mountains, in which is the
great copper belt of this district.
Here are located the great Blue
stone, Douglas, Ludwig. Dyer,
Mcconnell, Spragg and other
groups of copper claims which
will some day-not far distant
astonish the world with their pro-
ducts. Besides these mines there
are hundreds more of promising
copper claims which, with devel-
opment, will prove great produc-
ers. This range not only contains
copper, but there are some excel
lent gold prospects worthy of the
expenditure of considerable money
in development. This country is
now being prospected consider
ably and there have been excel
lent prospects found in the past
few weeks-prospects, which if
located within twenty miles of
TonOpah, Goldfeld, or almost any
where in the southern desert
country, would create a wild stam-
pede to the new ground.
Not only the Reservation Sec
ton, but the entire Mason Valley
district is going to boom.
Carson and Reno are figuring
on having wireless telegraph sta
tions soon.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1906-03-10

mining boom that has set the
heads of many twirling. Nevada
today is the center of the mining
excitemet. 1t is the days Of the
pioneer over again. The man
with the pick rules the day. He
is pauper today rich man to-
morrow. The money that is spent
in the barrooms of the new camps
is a realism of the days of forty
nine and the men are just as free,
and talk of fortunes as readily as
they did when California gave the
world a shock by her reckless men
and rich mines.
With the glamour of wealth in
southern Nevada many of the good
things in the western'section have
been passed over. People have
gone with the boom, and they will
come back with the rush that is
sure to come this Summer. West
ern Nevada is in line for her share
and those who own properties can
look forward to their day of for
tunes and good things ahead.
Such men as Schwab, Clarke,
Del lamar, Heinze and others are
taking monied interests in Neva-
da's properties, and they are not
on the ground for their health.
They have made millions for them
selves and are helping every Sec
ton of the State. as they call at
tention by their investments.
Southern Nevada has proven its
quality and tine west is in line for
the millions that are under the
grass roots.
The above is from the Carson
Appeal, and in connection with it
we would state that the Reserva-
ton mineral lands are not the only
ones in this district which will re-
ceive much attention when the
rush begins. Mason Valley lies
just west of the Reservation, and
in the center of the valley is loca-
ted the town of Yerington. Here
is the place for the prospector to
fit out for the Reservation CAM
paign. Here can be procured all

DOG STARVING ON BOYS GRAVE.

His Dead Master.
(From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. /.
Faithful to the memory of his
dead master Spot, a fox terrier, lies
on the grave of Eugene Franzen in
ST. Mary's cemetery, and refuses to
be comforted.
The boy, who was IA years of age
at the time of his death, was buried
three months ago. Spot attended
the funeral, and when the members
of the family returned to their home
It was necessary to force the dog
into the carriage.
Two days later the dog disap-
peared Search for him was una
yailing, and it was not until two
weeks had elapsed, when Mrs. Fran
zen went to the cemetery to plant
some flowers on the grave, that the
terrier was found.
Once more he was taken home, but
again disappeared, and was found at
the grave of his dead master. Since
then no efforts of the members of
the family have been able to keep
the dog away from the cemetery.
He has become acquainted with
the attendants at the cemetery, and
from their hands he gets an occa-
sicnal meal, but he resents the APP

night stands guard.

place OF his master will not be de-

The body of an unknown man was

an inquest was held, but with no
results leading to the Identification
Of the remains.
The operatives of the ginnery in
Madras in opening an old well to
supply the boiler, in place of a we'll
that had given out, discovered the
body beneath an old wooden wheel
some three feet in diameter which,
it appeared, had fallen in on the
man.
Decay had so far disfgured the
face and body as to make it difficult
to determine whether he was white
man or negro. There were no pa
pers about him from which it might
be learned who he was or where he
was from.
Two dollars and fifty cents in sill
yer and pennies were found in his
pants pocket. He was of medium
height, apparently 35 or 40 years
old and wore a dark suit of clothes,
and had worn a back SLOUGH hat,
which was also in the well.
The well had not been in use for
more than year, is about 25 feet
deep and contained about 10 feet OF

MEXICAN RUBBER INDUSTRY.
Manufacture of Product from the Guayule
Being Undertaken.

Mexico City, Jan. 20 (SpeciaD.-The manufacture
OF rubber from the guayule plant. which grows
wild throughout the plateau region of Central and
Northern Mexico, Is rapidly becoming great in
dustr- Since the discovery made, only two
three years ago, that a good grade of rubber
can be manufactured from this plant, several
million dollars have been invested in the erection
of manufacturing plants in the guayue region.
Nearly 100000 Of American capital has been
invested in these rubber factories. The rest is
native capital The Mexican government has just
granted a concession for the exclusive of the
guayule plants now growing upon the public lanes
in four States for the manufacture OF rubber This
is of the most valuable concessions ever granted
by the federal government. The company has de-
posted 100000 in bonds Of the national conso-
idated debt with the government as guarantee
that the terms OF the concession VIII be COM
piled with. There are several million acres EN-
bodied in this concession. which requires that
these immense landed estates shall be subdivided
into tracts Of 10000 acres each, and that the COM
pany shall pay to the government annual
rental Of $4,000 for each tract.
a large number OF factories for manufacturing
rubber from the plants grown upon these tracts OF
government land will be established Immediately
