Irrigation Reservoir.

H. H. Henderson, surveyor and
engineer for T. B. Hickey, paid
Yerington short visit the first of
this week to meet his wife who
was returning from San Francisco.
Mr. Henderson, who is in charge
of Mr. Rickey's reservoir and irri-
cation scheme at Alkali Lake, in
Antelope Valley, reports that the
project is moving along nicely and
will proceed more rapidly when
the steam shovel, locomotive, track,
etc. arrive and are placed in COM
mission. This machinery is now
on the way to the scene of opera
tons. A tunnel 500 feet in length
is being run to tap the lake, which
is a natural reservoir. A large
ditch carries the water into the
lake from the West Walker River
and the water will be taken out
of the lake by the tunnel above
mentioned and a cut several hun
drsd feet long and discharged into
the river again. In this manner
the food water which now goes to
waste every Spring will be con-
served and held for use in the Fall
when the water in the river is
generally low. By doing some
levee work on the shore of the
lake it can be made to retain 2oo,-
600 acre feet of water. The water
from the reservoir will irrigate in
the neighborhood of 1000 acres
of land below the site, owned by
Mr.. Hickey, and he will most like
ly arrange to sell water to farmers
in Smith Valley and this valley
when his system is completed.
This is the same scheme that Mr..
Hickey tried to induce the people
of this section to join him in some
two years ago.

Murder at Nina.

Parties coming in from Nina
report a murder at that place
Wednesday morning about 7
O'Clock, when F. c. Everett shot
and killed M. E. Malone, the fore
man of the Nevada & California
shops at that place. 1t seems that
Everett, who is experimenting
the construction of reduction
works at or near Keller, CAL, had
been in Nina Tuesday night gam
bling and drinking. Wednesday
morning he wanted to charter an
engine to take him to Keller, but
the railroad people would not let
him have one. This provoked
him and he pulled an automatic
pistol from his pocket and shot
Malone through the head. Ma
lone died in a few hours Ever
EFT was at once arrested and taken
to Hawthorne.
F. c. Everett is well-known
here, having married sister of l..
R. Ames, of Smith Valley, and
having been engaged in mining
in this section some years ago.
The shooting is said to have been

New Townsites.

Reports from the new gold
strike made last week, about IL
miles west of Yerington in the
Alkali Flat district, continue to be
good. There are about twenty
people in the new district now
living in tents. w. d. Kennedy
and w. T. Campbell, the original
locators, are developing their
claims in this district, and at a
depth of only few feet on the
ledge are getting some good ore,
running from $50 to 500 in gold.
L. Pierce has some good claims
in the district. John King and
Jack Cockell also have some prom
Using prospects. Hank Summers,
prospector, who has traversed
the country from the Yukon to
Old Mexico, has also located six
claims in the district and thinks
very we'll of the section. Besides
these numerous others have staked
out claims in the district. w. l..
Brandon, who has located a town
site in the district, left for the new
camp this week to survey his
tract, sink we'll and lay out town
lots. The district is attracting
considerable attention from out
siders and they are flocking in
from all parts of the country.
Several parties who have locations
are arranging to do considerable
development work. Messrs. Camp
bell and Kennedy have had sur
veyor James out to their camp
nearly all of this week surveying
a townsite, so there will be two
towns close together.

once, consisting of an engine, air
compressor and machine drills and
to sink to water level on the prop
erty, if not deeper, and otherwise
develop it.
While the Douglas may not be
considered a full-blown mine at
the present time, it is one of the
greatest prospects in this, or any
other State. 1t has produced and
shipped over 1000 tons of ore
which yielded from 13 to IS per
cent. copper and has on the dump
and opened up in the mine thous-
ands of tons of ore that will go
better than S per cent.
The sale is one of the heaviest
that has taken place in the mining
sections, and it means much for
this district. 1t means that many
men will be employed on the
property very soon, and eventu-
ally it means reduction works, ETC.,
which will employ many more
men.
The purchasers are well-known
copper people, of Salt Lake and
Boston. and their investment and
confidence in the district will
bring others to a realizing fact
that this district really has some
copper mines of merit.

Cattle Shipments.

Fifteen cars were loaded at Wa
buska last week with cattle for
Sacramento and San Francisco.
Several smaller shipments, consist
ing of five and six cars each, were
made during the fore part of the
month. From the present out
look this month will be the heav-
lest in some years past in cattle
shipping. Two carloads of wool,
the first of the season, were also
shipped from Wabuska last week.
This wool was from East Walker
River section.

The Fox-Bernard case, which
was appealed to the Supreme
Court, has been decided in favor
of the plaintiff in the action.
e. c. Manson, Superintend-
ent, and J. F. Shaughnessy, AS
sistant Superintendent, passed
through Wabuska last week in
their private car on tour of in
spection.
Alex. Vain, who was injured
about ten days ago by his stallion
striking him, is now able to be
about on crutches. He will leave
for Kinds hot Springs today to

Steve Williams came in from
Goldyke Thursday with pros
pecting outfit and will take a look
at the mining country in this Sec
ton. He has some promising
claims in Goldyke.
Peter Conway was down from
Pine Grove couple of days this
week. He and Fred Willis are
employed by the Pine Grove Min
ing and Milling Co. in running a
tunnel of 5000 feet.
ID. c. Beach was an arrival
from Tonopah the first of the
week. He is originally from
British Columbia and is here now
to look over this section of coun-
try in the interest of the Tonopah
Exploration Company.
Capt. o. A. Tibb bits and Geo.
Gum took their departure for

Fire.

Last Monday morning about 3
o'clock the town was aroused by
the alarm of fire. 1t was soon dis
covered that the Apsey residence
on upper Main street, occupied by
DIR. Smith and family, was in a
blaze. Soon crowd of willing
workers was on hand and buckle
brigade formed. The fire caught
from the explosion of a coal oil
lamp in the kitchen of the resi-
dence. Dr. Smith had been up
all night doctoring a sick infant
and had just retired. The house
was story and a half high and
when the flames were discovered
they were SO far advanced that it
was impossible to save the build
ing, in fact the occupants saved
but few of their clothes and effects.
There was no way of fighting the
fire except with bucket brigade,
and in this way the buildings on
either side of the burning build
ing were saved, although it was
hot work for the boys for a short
time. 1t was fortunate that a
ditch of water ran close by, and
the Ross house, to the north, was
so low that work could be done on
the roof. The boys deserve a
whole lot of credit for their plucky
work. Had the fire occurred fur
ther down the street the whole
town would probably have been
swept away. The building which
was burned was valued at about
$1,000 and there was an insur-
ance of several hundred dollars on
it. The Smiths loss on the con-
tents will also reach several dol
lars, with no insurance.

Good Returns on Ore.

The Aiken Bros, who are de-
veloping some promising copper
claims on Copper Flat, just across
the river from town, received
returns this week from the
second carload of ore shipped to
the Peyton Chemical Company, of
San Francisco. The ore is car
Donate and yielded better than
IS per cent. in copper. Another
carload has been prepared for
shipment, but it is not known
what disposition will be made of
it, now that San Francisco is in
ruins, and as the Peyton Co. has
probably suffered loss as we'll as
the others in that city.

Bodie Freight.

Bodie freight, the long talked of
Bodie freight, is now arriving at
Wabuska in heavy shipments
about once a week. While it is
not all coming by way of Wa
buska yet, the consignments are
heavy enough to convince us that
Wabuska will be the main point
for transferring all Bodie freight
in the near future. The Wabuska
and Bodie Transportation Co.'S
teams made another trip this
week.
