with an iron rode by Yardmaster
Hemphill, young man weighing over

led to the passing of hard names.
Conductor Case proceeded to show the
younger railroad man that, although
advanced in years, he was vet able
to take care of himself, against young

WHAT THE COUNTY
Fathers DID
JAIL BONDS FOR $4,000 LET
TO FIRST NATIONAL BANK
County will Pay 20 Cents per Day
for Keep of Hospita ! Patients
Instead of Sc 2-3 as
Heretofore

The final business transacted by the
county commissioners at their regular
meeting for August was the follow
ing:
The $4,000 bonds for the construc
tion of the county Jail at Winnemucca
and the branch county Jail at Love
lock, were, sold at par to the First va
tional Bank of Winnemucca. These
bonds will draw 5 per cent interest.
Two $500 bonds will draw interest or
21 years, four for 10 years, 6 for Is
years, etc. The county has reserved
the privilege to- redeem two $500
bonds each year for 20 years.
The interest on the bonds during
this time will amount to $4,000.
There were no other bids for the
bonds. The commissioners increased
the amount that is paid for the keep
of the hospital patients. Formerly
66 23 cents per day or each patient
was paid. This amount was increased
to 20 cents per day per patient, upon
application of County Hospital Super
intendent Connors, who presented to
the board the advanced cost of food,
which made 66 2-3 cents per day look
like losing proposition.
Besides selecting and purchasing
the site for the new county hosp tsl.
the board spent some time in consid-
ering the plans for the building, which
have been drawn up by Contractor
LaPoint, to whom the contract for
constructing the building has been
given. Property of the Germa:n cs.
tate, situated IN Fast Railsoad street
was purchased for The ha~pital sitc,
and the price paid was $4,000 The
plans and specifications of the new
hospital which tie commissioners are
now considering, it is estimated will
cost at least $4,000. The building
will be of brick, TOXIC feet, and viii
contain besides the regular wards for
the county patients three for pay pa
tients.
A feature of the new hospital will
be the operating room, which win be
fitted up with the latest improvements
and especially designed so that the
physicians in operating will be sure
OF cleanliness and absence of germs.

WATER and GRAVEL
SCARCITY WILL
HANDICAP
WORK

w. w. Wesley, of the Southern Ill
inois Construction company, has the
contract for the construction of all
concrete work for the Western Pacific
ffrailroad from Deeth to the Nevada
state line, returned to Winnomucca
at O'Clock this morning, after
this point, 'ch was made to find
out the amount of concrete work
which will be done, and to locate
water and gravel which are the vital
materials needed in work of this kind.
Five eulverts will be constructed in
the West Antelope range, besides a
number of "a and 36-inch pipe cul-
verts. No trouble will be experienced
in constructing the concrete pipe cul-
verts, since they will be made in Win
nemucca and shipped to the various
points where they are to be used.
The Other work. however, will be ser
iously handicapped by the scarcity
of gravel and water, at the places
where they are to be built.
Wells and springs are alreaay dry
ing up along the construction line and
in many cases the water now used by
the grading gangs is hauled many
miles.
The seriousness with which Mr..
Wesley views the situation was dem
onstrated in a conversation with him
this morning. Being from Illinois he
is not overly familiar with Nevada
climatic conditions, and on his last
trip out, seeing several instances in
gullics and mountain valleys of a
heavy rush of water, which he sup
posed was caused by fall precipita-
tions, he received the impression tnat
this section of the country was visited
by regular and heavy precipitations of
rain in the fall of the year. From this
impression he conceived the half
formed idea to construct artificial
this water as it rushed down through
the valley or gully, and to hold Al
there until he could use it in the con.
crete worK.
Inquiry, however, scattered his
half formed plans, for he soon learned
that the fall rains were scarce, and
even in the ease of heavy showers,
the ever unsuitable thirst of the des-
ert would lick up the precipitation
before it had time to gather in any
appreciable volume, and that the in
stances he had seen of heavy water
rushes were in all probability water
spouts, which no ordinary dam would
check nor hold.
Handicaps, to engineers like Mr..
Wesley, are enjoyed, because they pre-
sent problem which, is to be solved.
and in this spirit the present situation
will be overcome
The concrete construction outfit,
consisting of number Of men, ls
head of mules and two carloads of
machinery, is expected in the next
few days, when the concrete work
will begin

SEVEN TROUCHS IS
NOW A S. CAMP
AL Labor Troubles Settled by the
Mine Owners Agreeing to Demands
Of the Uuion Mi ers-Means
Renewed Activity in the
District

SEVEN TROUGHS, New, Aug. s.
All labor troubles in Seven
Troughs mining district were settled
today by the mine owners granting
the demands of the union miners and
agreeing to pay So per day of eight
hours instead of 81. All miners have
returned to WORK and all mining prop
critics in the district are again being
developed. The settlement of the
labor trouble will result in this dis
trict becoming more active than it has
ever been before, and in hundreds of
men being employed where only few
have been employed up to this time.
The miners struck some time ago
and all mines closed down, the mine
owners declaring that they would rot
pay the wages demanded, and stating
that they would close their properties
down and leave them until the miners
were willing to work for 81. The min
ers would not agree to this and con
tinued to strike, many of them leaving
the camps and seeking employment in
other camps where higher wages were
paid.
The mine owners and miners tried
on several occasions to settle their
troubles, but no agreement could be
reached, the miners always holding
out for So day of eight hours and
the mine owners insisting that they
return to work at $4 for the same
number of hours.
The final settlement of the labor
troubles in the Seven Troughs mining
district will mean renewed activity
in that rich gold district, and within
few weeks new and rich strikes will
probably be reported. lhe Seven
Troughs mining district is one of the
richest for its age in the state and
has many good mines which will now
be worked extensively. The district
contains the camps of Seven Troughs
Mazuma and Vernon.

INTERESTING NEWS
OF COL.CONDA
HORsEFLIEs CAUSE
A RUNAWAY

Monday l.. Dutertre started to drive
to Winnemucca behind his dashing
buggy team. About mile below the
Dutertre ranch the horses were 1T
tackled by horsefes. Mr.. Dutertre
attemped to shoe a pestiferous fly
off one OF the horses with the line
and the horse got his tail over the
line. Then he started to kick and
broke loose from the buggy. This
frightened the other animal, and get
ting away, returned to Golconda. One
of the horses was badly cut in wire
fence and almost bled to death.
Luckily, Mr.. Dutertre was uninjur-
cd, and when he returned to Golconda
short time later. aboard a hay
wagon which he hailed, he was met
by the anxious people, who were just
starting out to look for him.
Mr.. Dutertre lays the accident to
the bad condition of the road, for
he says that owing to the roughness If
the road he was not able to trot the
team, and being compelled to let them
walk, the flies had better chance
to worry the horses

RE-
PORT OF MOHAWK
DEVELOPMENT
OPEN CUT STRIKES ORE
BODY AT 80 FEET DEPTH
An Ore Averaging Richer Than That
Discovered on the Surface Has
Been Uncovered

report was brought to Winnemuc-
ca last night by Fred Wilson that in
the development work now being
done on the Wnnemucca Mohawk
mine on the top of Winnemucca
mountain by the discoverers, Messrs.
Williams and Simpson, that the ore
body was struck at depth Of thirty
feet by means of an open cut, enter
low the surface groupings.
Mr.. Wilson a'so reports that it is
believed that the ore at this depth
averages richer than that on the sur
face, although as yet no assays have
been made to determine that point.
He says that samples taken from be-
low appear much richer than those
taken from above.
AS a result of the spreading of this
report several mining men have gone
up to the mountain today to invesui
gate the new discovery.
1t is conceded among mining men
here that if this report be true, it
will clear up much doubt in regard to
the Winnemucca Mohawk, in part to
the permanency of the ore body an~
in part to the character of the ore at
at least slight depth.
1t has been the opinion of many
who have visited the Mohawk. that
development work was absolutely
necessary before an estimate of It's
value as a prospect could be deter
mined. All agreed on the remarka-
BILE surface showings. Samples taken
from the ore body on the surface as
saved over 1000 a ton and an ever
age assay across the IA feet of sur
face ore showed a good percentage of
free milling gold.
