PLAT OF THE CITY OF YER1NGToN.

tural interests exist as occur in the Yer
ington district. Here we have valley
forty miles long by six to eight miles in
width of as fine agricultural land as ex-
lists on the Coast. Yerington is located
in the center of this great tract of fertile
land To the east and west of the val
ley lie the ranges of hills that contain
such vast amount of mineral---copper,
gold and silver---that the fame of the
district has gone abroad to every other
State in the Union. 1t is but drive of
few miles to any of the mines in the
district, and when sufficient development
work has been done on the properties to
warrant the construction of reduction
plants, there is no doubt that an electric
line of road will reach every property
from Yerington The miner can then

is practically no sickness in this section
now, and with moderate equipment for
sanitary purposes there will be no such
thing as an epidemic of any disease pos
sible. Yerington can be made a pretty
place. The soil is fertile, and shade
trees, lawns and shrubbery can be OBJ
tanned with little exertion after the water
system is in operation. At the present
time the place appears as an oasis on the
desert to the mining men who come from
any other part of the State, especially
the. camps in the southern part. The
trees are green and the flowers will soon
be in bloom, while all about the valley
the fields are carpeted with green alfalfa
and grain.

DROWNED IN CARSON RIVER

Young Joe Quilici was drowned in the
Carson River, just below Dayton, last
week Friday. Young Quilici and friend
named Pagnelli were crossing the river
with 4-horse team when the current
overturned the wagon and Quilici was
caught underneath and drowned. Three
of the animals in the team were also
drowned but Pagnelli managed to reach
shore. The body of Quilici was not re-
covered until the next day, when two
Indians found it some distance below
where the accident happened. The fu-
neral of deceased took place in Virginia
City the first of this week. Quilici was
a nephew of Joseph Quilici, formerly
lessee of the Sutro ranch on the Carson
River

of the city take in a tract of land one
and quarter miles north and south by
a mile east and west, and the center OF
the town is about where Broadway
branches off from Main street.
A water company has already been or
ganized and by August, or before, 1t IS
expected to have water flowing through
the mains into the city. 1t has been
demonstrated by survey that good
sewer system can be established for the
town and it will probably not be long
before sewer system will be established
either by the city or private corpora

Camp That Is Destined TO Be One Of the Best
and Most Permanent in the State.

Yerington held its first city election
this week. Nothing now remains but to
go ahead and build up the town OH some
well regulated system The first order
should be one of general cleaning up.
The next thing should be the grading of
the principal streets in the town and the
establishment of a grade to all streets so
that there will be no pools of stagnant
water accumulate during rain storm.
There is plenty of fall to do this and it
can be done at no great expense.
Below will be found plan of the
town as it was recently surveyed for
streets and alleys. This plat shows only
the streets and blocks. These blocks
have been subdivided into lots and dur
ing the past month over one hundred
lots have been sold at prices ranging

THE first CITY ELECTION

this Summer. The first action, prob
ably, will be the framing up of batch
of ordinances for the establishment of a
grade for the town, the removal of OBJ
structions on the streets, the grading of
Main street and the removal of all filth
from back yards, ETC., and general inn
provement in the sanitary conditions of
the town.
Some money will have to be raised to
accomplish these things and it will be a
matter to be considered whether this
shall be done by bond issue or spec
ial tax.
The plan for all to work upon should
be for Improvement. Let everybody get
in and help the officials make of Yering-
ton one of the prettiest little cities in the
State. 1t can be done, and at no great
expense. Don't knock; be booster.

MORE BUILDINGS

Rymal and Chokolate have erected
building on the rear of Broadway lot
which will be leased as Chinese laun-

buildings on the Kaufman and Downey
tract as soon as lumber can be obtained.

TRADE LANGUISHES.
Collections are Poor and Dizziness in
the Iron and Steel Industry
Increases.

New York City.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Liberal receipts of gold from abroad
and a large increase in bank note cir
culation tend to relieve the financial
stress at New York, but the interior
is now feeling the scarcity of cur
rency and commercial activity is re-
tarded to some extent Dispatches
from leading cities indicate conserv-
atism in preparation for future bust
ness and irregularity in collections,
with most favorable news from agri-
cultural sections in which the crops
are being marketed as freely as the
supply of money will permit.
Return to normal conditions will be
hastened by large exports of farm
staples supplying credits abroad upon
which the much needed gold may be
imported. Official returns Indicate
that exports of this nature were val
Ued at about $1OO,OO0,000 in October
and the outgo OF grain and cotton is
on still larger scale this month.
Financial pressure has affected the
iron industry, curtailing new con-
tracts for all forms Of finished steel.
Few new orders have been received
by mills and some deliveries on old
contracts are deferred because funds
are not available.

MADE A WILL JUST
BEFORE HE DIED
EX-BANkER BARNEY LEFT BIG
ESTATE TO HIS WIFE.
HE WAS WORTH $2,5oo,ooo.
His Will Directs that His Estate be
Incorporated and Administered by
Trustees-He Carried $685.
600 Life Insurance.

New York City.-Mortally wound,
ed by his own hand Charles
Tracy Barney summoned his family
and lawyers to his bedside and after
reviewing his business affairs and
giving expressions of his wishes in
certain matters, dictated and signed a
will in which his wife was made the
principal beneficiary. This matter
disposed of, he submitted to the OPP
GRAFTON through which his physicians
had hoped to save his life A half
hour after the lawyers withdrew the
former head of the Knickerbocker
Trust Co. was dead.
This became known Friday through
a statement made by Albert s. Mil
bank, of the law firm of Masten e
Nichols, Mr.. Barney's attorneys, and
explains the presence at the house
when the coroner arrived Thursday
of Arthur H. Masten and George l..
Nichols
Barney made q will two years ago,
but this he subsequently destroyed.
The original document provided for
the same distribution of his property
as did the final paper except for
changes necessitated by shrinkage in
values. When the original will was
drawn Barney was estimated to be
worth between $7,000,000 and $4,000
600. 1t is believed that the estate at
present will net about $2,50O.O00.
In Thursdays will the banker di-
rected that his estate should be in
corporated and administered by a
board of trustees chosen from his
former associates in the directorate
of the now suspended Knickerbocker
Trust Co. Barney directed that his
Wife should be the chief beneficiary
after his debts were paid lie further
willed that the agreement made some
time ago with his creditors should be
lived up to and such of the estate as
proved necessary be used to discharge
his obligations. The only reservation
made was in the matter of his life in
surance, which amounts to $lS5.0OO.
These policies are incontestable and
are to be paid to the widow. The
trustees of the incorporated estate
are the executors named.

An Expert DIAGNOSIS.

Wall street may wall ana specula-
tors may take the most pessimistic
view imaginable regarding our future
financial and industrial status, but the
great producers cannot be stampeded.
There could be no better authority
than Willis L. King vice president Of
the Jones & Laughlin Steel company,
one of the largest of the independent
concerns. MIR. King says very terscIy:
There are only three things that
should, in my opinion, affect adversely
the progress of this country-ramine
pastilence and free trade. We can
safely trust the first two to Provi.
dence, and | hope the Republican
party will continue to look after the
third"
He adds that the west does not
share in the pessimism of a portion of
the eastern press; that conditions dc
not warrant alarm, but simply ''ad.
monish thoughtful men that the tire.
mendous expansion of the past few
years must rest until the financial
equilibrium of the country is reestab
,lished.'
Nh King concludes very optimistic
declaration with the following:
The country is certainly richer
than it was a year or even three
months ago The farmers have har-
vested seven billion dollar crop and
the mines have added many millions
to our wealth. 1t is the part of wis
dom, therefore, to await the future
with confidence and not be carried
away by a fear of something that is
not at all likely to happen"
The positive opinion Of men like Mr.
King is worth far more t9an the va.

no practical knowledge of real condi.
tions.

Call for More Men.

Congress is to be asked to furnish
5000 more enlisted men for the United
States navy. Most of our readers,
probably, do not understand exactly
what this means. The number of
men authorized in 1906 was $1,000
The proposed increase will bring the
navy within handshaking distance of
the United States army. Do the peo-
pie of the country understand the i'm
portance Of seapower? These facts
would Indicate it. Never before was
the navy so near to the army in size
At the outbreak of the civil war the
United States navy had only 1900
men. At the end of the war 81, 500
men were enrolled After the civil
war blight fell upon the navy. but
that blight is past. The country feels
the need of a powerful, efficient navy,
and it now possesses one that, on pa
per, in number of enlisted men, is
nearly three quarters the size of the
one which helped to bring the civil
war to a close.
And no one disputes the fact that
the 5000 men now to be asked for are
needed We have been building ships
so fast that all of our vessels cannot
be put in commission at one time
without the extra men. Since it was
deemed wise to build the ships, it
must be wise to man them.
The war scare in the Pacific was
baseless, but it will have this effect at
least-it will incline congress to lend
reader ear to the requests of the
navy for more men. Inasmuch as it is
now argued that we must have q
strong fleet in the Pacific as well as in
the Atlantic, congress may listen at
tentively even to the plea of the navy
for two or three new ships. But this
part of the program of the navy will
certainly come in for more discussion
than the other.
