San Francisco Rebuilding.

Since the earthquake and fire of
April I8th-2oth San Francisco has
presented a scene unparalleled in
modern times. With the heart of
the city utterly destroyed-hotels,
clubs, shops, libraries, hospitals,
manufactures practically all gone
the citizens have faced the fu-
ture. bravely and almost gaily.
Aided by the Federal government
and other sources of relief, but
helped chiefly by their own in
domitable grit, San Franciscans
are upbuilding their city rapidly
and better than before, meeting
and overcoming all OBSTACLES

A Full House.

As is known to the moral and
highly intelligent readers of the
TIMES, j. w. McAllister has a
drove of fifteen fine burros. He
recently purchased these pioneers
of civilization at the Chinese camp
near Bodie, and they are intended
to help bear the burdens of the
prospector, which are many. Well,
Jack (McAllister) put the animals in
Knierim's pasture, where tin cans,
greasewood and plowshares abound
in plenty. Amid these gastron-
omic dainties the burros throve
and lived happily-but not for
ever afterward. For, one day re-
Gently. Jack went down to inspect
his jacks. He was surprised and
panied to find ten of them missing;
he looked over the pasture, but
they were not to be found; he
tore his hair and mourned in sack
cloth and ashes. Then, calling his
retainers about him, he broke the
sad news, and an exhaustive
search was organized, but for two
long days and nights was he be-
reft of his jacks.
There is deserted Indian cabin
in the pasture, the proprietors OF
which are spending the warm
months at their Summer residence
on McLeod's slough. The burros,
desiring specially appetizing
luncheon, had made their way
into the cabin in search of old
overalls, gunnysacks and Indian
blankets. They closed the door
and fastened themselves in, and
then said Hee; haw at Jack S
expense. A nice question in
poker arises, l. e., whether this
was an ordinary full house on
jacks, jack full on asses or an
ass full on jacks. And, if these
lines bring a straight or roy al
flush to McAllister's genial coun-
tenance, the game will be further
complicated.

MASON VALLEY LAND co
A Concern That Will Do Much
Good in This Community.

Henry He'll, manager for COM
pany to be known as the Mason
Valley Land Co.. has erected an
Office on Main street, next to the
Yerington Drug Co.'S store, and is
ready to do business in his line.
The object Of this company will
be to handle real estate business
Of every description in this valley,
and it would seem that there are
great openings for just such a
concern.
Mr.. He'll is originally from
North Dakota, State where
farming is carried on in scien-
tifc manner by the hardy Ger
mans, Danes and Swiss who have
settled there. They have to carry
on their business there in a scien-
tiffc way or they soon become
bankrupt. 1t is Mr.. Heips inten-
ton to induce a number of these
people to come to Mason Valley
and locate, and he is assured that
they will come if he can secure
the land for them here at reason
able figures.
This valley offers great oppor-
tunities in this line. There are
thousands of acres of as fine land
as can be found in the world lying
idle in Mason Valley while it
might be supporting hundreds of
families. Those who this company
will try to induce to come here are
hustlers and have been making
comfortable homes on 40 to 8o-acre
tracts of land in the northwest,
where the land is in no way equal
to that of the Nevada valleys and
where the Winters are long and
severe.
Next season this company will
probably try the experiment of
irrigating 4o-acre tract of land
by the pumping system. and may
possibly try for artesian water at
some point in the valley. There
is little doubt that flow of water
can be obtained at less than 500
feet, and it is also equally certain
that pumping plant will prove
successful in the irrigation of
small farms. Success to the new
company. See their ad. elsewhere
in this issue.

DR.. u. w. T1bbits, of Reno,
paid this section visit the first of
the week. He was looking for
gold properties, but whether he
found what he wanted or not we
did not learn.
d. w. Mckenzie. D. Lawson,
Ross Thompson and F. Bugbee
left last Tuesday to put in several
weeks at Buckbrush Springs,
where they have some promising
gold and copper claims.
Geo. w. Webster was down
from his East Walker ranch the
first of the week. He reports
crops in that section good this
year. He was accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Violet.
W. l.. White, prospector for
a Salt Lake company, has been
seriously i'll with asthma and con-
gestion of the liver for the past
week, and, last Sunday, was re-
moved from his hotel to DR.. Leav-
tits hospital.
J. M. Feeny, the Wabuska
dealer, has just received a number
of new buck rates. These rakes
are said to be the best for putting
up hay of any in the market, by
those who have used them for sew
eral seasons.
-Found-A gold locket with a
gem in the center was picked up
on Main street and handed in to
this Office this week. The owner
can have same by calling at this
Office, proving property, and pay
ing for this notice.
Senator Brougher, U. S. At
torney Sam Plat, ]. T. Shaw and
H. A. Lennon, of Carson, who
had been visiting the Masonic
country, passed through town
Monday in Lemmon's big automo-
bile on their way back to Carson.
B. H. Reymers and Geo. w.
Knierim came in Tuesday after
noon from Leavitt Meadows,
where they had been camping.
Mr.. Knierim was somewhat under
the weather and Mr.. Reymers ac-
companied him home Barney re-
turned to the camp Wednesday.
The town was full of drunken
Indians again last Sunday night.
The officers corraled two of them
and put them on the streets to
work for few days, which has
somewhat improved the looks of
Main street. Those who furnish
the Indians with liquor are crowd
ing the business a little and may
be landed behind the bars some of
these days.

true reason appears to be that the
farmers have learned better how to
cultivate the land, adopting, suitable
seed and plants and conserving the
moisture. II has been Increasingly
urged by specialists. and It is now
known positively, that very great bene-
At can be realized By such adaptation
Of methods to climatic conditions.
These developments cannot fail to
have a powerful influence upon immi-
grafton from the region Of great rain
fall, where land prices are now so
high as to be beyond the poor mans
reach and where population is dense.
While it may be conceded that rainfall
has been unusual for several years, the
fact remains that millions of acres be-

growing are now being prosperously
cultivated, without resort to irrigation
and with at least the strong probability
that such cultivation in one degree or
another will be permanent.
