Some of the prosperous actors fall easily for

Long Island will improve in value when once the
tunnels are opened Other actors who dress we'll
and pretend to have plenty of money, even with
pawn tickets protFudinG from every pocket, are
taking advantage OF the real estate boom in the
of the agents.
For instance, one rather well known actress
who is usually in debt in spite OF fact that she
gets a big salary and makes fine display of
clothes In public, was approached by an actor she
had once employed. and besought to buy a lot on
Long Island at one of the new resorts. The for
mer actor, thinking he ought to impress the feri-
nine star properly, persuaded the real estate firm
to place the firms big red automobile at his dis
pesal in order to convey her 20 the lots and sell
her dozen or two. The actor also talked the head
OF the real estate firm into allowing him 500 for
expenses with which to entertain the actress as a

The registry books throughout
the county closed last Saturday
night. The books of Yerington
precinct contain 2o3 names, as
against 244 registered in 1904, and
there are few who failed to get
their names on the books before
they closed. We estimated that
the vote would be close to 800
here this year. and it will not fall
far short of that. In Plummer
precinct there are 80 registered
voters, and in Wabuska 81; a
small increase over 1904 This
gives Mason Valley voting pop

The Yerington Copper King

concern, which some months ago
secured bond on the Craig cop
per claims in this district for $780,
600, this week took over the prop
erty on cash payment of some
thing less than the bonded figure
The deal was transacted Tuesday
by ]. H. Turner, Vice President
and General Manager of the com
pany. In the very near future
the company will start develop
ment work on the property ac
quired on quite an extensive
scale, and if something good is not
brought to light it will be strange,
as the three claims lie in a proven
copper belt, and already show
some very fine ore with the small
amount of work done on them by
the former owners in the way of
assessment work. The Salt Lake
people evidently know a good
thing in the copper line when
they see it, as half a dozen COM
panies have been incorporated in
Salt Lake within the last eighteen
months to take over and develop
Mason Valley properties, and all
are meeting with the desired sue
cess. The Copper King will be
