HAVE BIG FLOW OF WATER.


The question of getting supply of
water for the Lovelock water system
has been successfully solved.
With the 6-inch centrifugal pump
and 40-horse power gasoline engine,
Mr.. Bonner has been steadily sinking
the 26-foot casing through the var
ious strata of clay, dobe and sand,
underlying the valley and now has
struck the vein of sand and gravel
that carries such a strong flow of
water that they could hardly keep it
pumped out so as to complete the
we'll.
This is not surface water, though
the we'll is but 26-feet deep, for they
have gone through two strata of hard
blue clay and are in vein of gravel
and sand-probably an old river
channel.
1t is a good quality of water and
sufficient volume to keep the big pump
ordered for the system pumping
steadily for many hours. 1t will be
almost impossible to pump this we'll
dry, If the experience in sinking is
any criterion and it is with great
pleasure that the Lovelockers watch
that stream of water come pouring
from the pump.
The work If building the concrete
bases for the tank is being rushed
and soon the piping will be here and
the mains be laid, then Loyelock will
have something long needed water
system.

the placer ground they broke through
an abandoned shaft, which had been
covered over The smaller brown one
going il first and the larger black fall
ling on top, both being killed by the
fall. The driver escaped uninjured.
This is surely hard luck for Mr..
Davis, as well as Mr.. Wenzel, who will
doubtless be responsible for the team.
Though of ordinary size, this team
was known for its pulling qualities,
and they have taken many load over
the summit that would have kept
some four-horse teams busy. Mr..
Davis feels the loss of the team keen
ly, and feels that he has lost his best
friends.

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW In MOUNTAINS
INSDRES NEXT SEASONS WATER SUPPLY
Storm General All Over State, and Especially at Head
waters Of Humboldt Feared that Range
Stock will Perish on Ranges

The fear of another dry year is fast
giving way to fear as to whether
the dams will hold the food of water
that is apt to come down the Hum
boldt river next spring.
There was good supply of snow in
the hills before the storm of last Fri
day and Saturday, and now that sup
ply has been more than doubled and
the water supply for next year is as
sured.
The snow over the summit of the
Sierras is reported to be six feet on
the average, at Truckee it is fully
three feet. The storm at Reno was
more of rain and wind. The wind
blew a perfect gale and considerable
damage was done to property.
At Virginia City the snow is report
ed over three feet deep and at Carson.
Tonopah and other points south the
fall is exceedingly heavy.
But we in the Lovelock valley are
not SO much interested in the fall of
snow on the Sierras as we are in the
snowfall at the head waters of the
Humboldt. From all reports this
seems to have been very heavy during
the recent storm. One report gives
ten feet on the Rubies and eight feet
on the foot hills at the base Of the
mountains. The Elko Independent
says that over twenty inches of ad-
ditional snow fell during Friday and
Saturdays storm. The roads between
Elko and Tuscarora are blocked so
that the mails cannot get through.
South from Elko, on the head of the
South Fork, the snow is the heaviest,
and that is where our greatest supply
of water comes from.

At Edgemont, Elko comfy, a snow

"A case was recently decided by jury
trial in Butte, Montana, Court, where
quartz vein within patented placer was
declared to be within his rights. The ground
was located in 1889 as placer This placer
was patented later, but in 1890 other parties
entered the placer and located lode claim
on 1t. Defendant claims that the patent
gave him exclusive right to the ground and
that he had held undisputed and undisturb-
ed possession of the claims for sir years,
and that the claim was good against ali
comers. and moved n non-suit The court
decided that such claim could only be al

title. The defendant further claimed that
there was not suiflciedt showing of quartz

property as lode claim. This contention
was overrnled by the court. patent to a

demolishing the greater portion of the
machinery. 1t will take several
months to repair the damage and put
the mill in running order. No loss OF
life is reported. This mill is on the
Bull Run mountains, about 40 miles
north of Tuscarora, and the snow is
reported very heavy there. 1t is at
the head of the Owyhee, so does this
Valley no good.
TWO FEET IN PARADISE VALLEY
According to the Silver State, there
are twenty-four inches of snow on the
level in Paradise Valley. At the Lye
ranch just north of the town, there
are thirty-three inches and thirty-six
inches at the Gilbert ranch, at the
mouth of the canyon. The snow is
very heavy and has crushed the Chas.
Kemler barn in town and Mr.. Kemler's
blacksmith shop. Reports from Par
adise say that many other buildings
with fiat roofs are also down. A
stable belonging to Alphonso Pas
quale, the Paradise and Winnemucca
merchant, was crushed to the ground.

Mr. Rogantini says that the feet of
the cattle have been frozen and the
hoofs drop off. death following He
also reports that hay is getting short
I in Newark Valley and that if the win
ter weather continues as severe as it
has been all dumb beasts will suffer
from cold and hunger. and the loss of
stock will undoubtedly be heavy -

MOntaiEne Runs on Anything.

/
When | read Montaigne or Words
worth or Landor I am always remind
ed of the advice which the baseball
cOacher on the side lines so often re-
peats to the men on bases, Run OH
anything" Each one of these worthless,
to continue the parlance of the bali
field, accepts all his chances. If Words
worth never gave to the world Lines
Suggested by Seeing a Favorite Cat
Crossing the Road it was simply be-.
cause that spectacle never Glanced to
arrest his onward eye" If Montaigne
never meditated, as did another cele-
brated author, on producing a chapter
about "Buttonholes" such reticence was
not in any degree owing to barrenness
as concerned that or any other known
topic. And had he attempted it he
would perchance have begun with shoe
strings, wandered on to darning nee
dies and pruning hooks, quoted doz-
en- or so of Latin authors in regard to
plowshares, related anecdotes concern
ing dealings of the Cymbrians, Scyth-
ians, Lacedaemonians, Romans and the
like with knots and fastenings, men
toned his own personal experience in
the matter of hooks and eyes and end
ed by an exposition of the practical,
mechanical and ethical relations be-
tween buttonhole and a button, and
every quaint and divaricating line
would have endeared him to his affec-
tionate reader-Martha Baker Dunn in
Atlantic.

Den ecr's First Ssareconrh.

On the 18th of May, 1859, Denver
turned out to welcome the first through
coach OF what was destined to grow
into the Overland Mail,'' an enterprise
Which for sheer American pluck and
daring must be forever linked with the
fame of the "Pony Express" Red
shirts drifted to the outskirts of the
hamlet and dotted the hills around.
Hard faced bartenders made ready for
the hottest night that ever tore the
camp loose" The artillery Of holster
and saddle boot was unlimbered for an
ecstatic fusillade. There was lively
betting in dust and nuggets that the
first through stage had been gathered
In by Indians, with takers as eager to
stake their faith that the scalps of
driver and guard would come through
intact. At length swirl of dust show
ed far down the trail. 1t grew into a
yellow cloud that crept toward the
eager hamlet Then six mules, stretch
ed out on the gallop, emerged from
this curtain, and behind them was the
numbering, swaying stage, come safely
through on time, and Denver was in
touch with the world where men wore
white shirts and lived in real houses.
The cheers that roared a welcome to
this heroic enterprise were echoed in
every western town which hoped and
longed for link of it's own with the
home country, "way back east.".-Out.

Some Puritan Names.

One Of the customs practiced by our
Puritan forefathers was that of inflict-
ing ludicrous and terrifying names
upon their children. One Puritan dam
sci, when asked her baptismal name,
answered, Through Much Tribulation-
We-Enter-theK Kingdom of-Heaven, but
for short they call me Tribby." An
other unfortunate maiden bore the
name The Gift-of-God Stringer. A
sickly boy was christened Faint Not
Hewitt. Another labored under Fight
the Good Fight of-Faith White A lit
tie girl who had propensity for cry
ing was at the age Of eight christened
Weep-Not Billing. There also were
Thunder Goldsmith, The Work-of-G od
Farmer, Search the-Scriptures Morton,
Be-Courteous Cole and, worst of all,
Kill-Sin Pimple.

Birds Cross No DeeD Sens.

A writer in the London Outlook
points out that no birds cross deep,
even if narrow, seas. The narrow Mad
agascar strait Is impossible to birds,
though the north seas are a highway
for them. Godwits pass from the Nile
% the shores of Norfolk, though neigh
boring islands in an archipelago may
show no common stock. All birds, with
the possible exception Of the sparrow,
are stirred to movement by different
causes-wind, weather, food, the bully
ing of parent and other birds. Birds
Of prey drive off their young. Martins
love familiar caves. Successive ravens
have built on the same ledge for cen
fury. The longer passages are only
made over shallow seas that once were
land, and when once a journey is made
the memory is strong enough to urge
a repetition. The change of home then
becomes not fashion, but an inherit
ed habit. -.-- -.- 3.

Girl Slaves In Chinn.

A native writer in Chinese publica-
ton remarks: "When girl is sold in
China she becomes the slave of her
owner and part Of his property. She
no longer retains her freebOrn rights,
but surrenders them all to the will of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but is
obliged to accept such raiment and
food as her owner may be pleased to
give her. In cases of tyranny or gross
cruelty she cannot appeal for redress.
She may be resold, given away or cast
off in the streets at the arbitrary will
Of her master. All freedom is denied
her, and she remains tool and chat
tel in the hands of her owner until she
is sold again or until death releases
her from her unwilling fate"
