Marx Twaln,s Mean Man.

"The meanest man ever knew"
said Mark Twain, lived in Hannibal.
He sold his son-ln-law the half of a
very fine COW and then refused to
share the milk with the young fellow
on the ground that he had only sold
him the front half The son-in-law
was also compelled to provide all the
cows fodder and to carry water to her
twice day. Finally the cow butted
the old man through barbed wire
fence. and he sued his son-in-law for
$50 damages"

WORK ON POWER
LINE SUSPENDED

Work on the electric power line from
Como to Yerington was suspended the
first of this week until better weather
prevails. The line has been surveyed to
the Douglas and Bluestone mines and
down to the river where it crosses the
Spragg ranch and will come into town
by way of Bridge street or little south
of there. The holes for the poles have
been dug along the entire route, and the
poles have been delivered for a consider
able distance from the Como end. but
the snow in the hills and the horrible
condition of the roads has brought work
to standstill until the weather clears
up and the roads dry up. Everybody in
Yerington is anxious to see the line
reach this place so that we may have a
system of decent lights, and the TIMES
is more than anxious to see the line in
operation so that we may install motor
for power purposes and give a bucking
gasoline engine the proper fixing with a
sledge hammer.
1t was reported that there would be
opposition to the line crossing the land
of some parties on this side of the river,
but, so far as we can ascertain, there is
no foundation for such report.

INDIANS RECEIVE COIN

Last week c. f. Asbury, Superintend-
ent of Indian affairs in Nevada, paid
Schurz visit and distributed among the
Indians of the Walker Lake Reservation
about $1,000. This money was in pay
ment for their land by the government.
The head of each family of Piutes re-
ceived $500. but only SIS of the amount
was paid in cash. the balance to be taken
in farming implements, etc. The secur-
ing of so much money by the Indians
made things lively at the Reservation
towns for a few days, but the money did
not last long. Already the Indians have
sent in orders for the balance of their
allotments in the shape of wagons, har-
ness, plows, barb wire and other farming
implements with which to cultivate their
2O-acre tracts of land and make improve
ments.
Bob Dyer. who was up from the Res
ervation few days ago, reports that the
cold weather has caused an epidemic OF
pneumonia among the Piutes, and there
have been about 80 deaths in the past
two weeks. At this rate there will be
few of the race left by another Winter il
the epidemic continues for few weeks
longer

DEATH AND BURIAL OF
CHARLIE STRDSklDER

Word was received here on the night
of December % that Charlie Strosnider
had died that day i'll Tonopah. 1t will
be remembered that Strosnider and his
partner, Vincent Davis, left their cabins
in Golden about week before Christmas
to 60 to Tonopah for the holidays. They
were on foot, and between the Clover
dale ranch and Pete's Station, encoun-
tered snow several feet deep. When
within less than mile from the station
Strosnider became exhausted and Davis
continued on to summon help. When
Davis reached the station he informed
men there who went in search of Stro-
snider. He was found asleep in the
snow, and brought into camp. He and
Davis were taken to Tonopah at once.
Davis had his feet amputated and died
just week before Strosnider did. The
latter had both his feet amputated just a
week before his death, but the operation
did not save his life. The remains of
deceased were brought to Mason Valley
Sunday last and the funeral took place
from the old home ranch on Missouri
Flat Monday.
Charlie Strosnider was born in Mason
Valley thirty-six years ago and spent his
early life here. A couple of years ago
he went to the southern country and To-
Gated some valuable property at Golden,
Nye county, about so miles from Tono-
pah. He leaves mother, three sisters
and four brothers to mourn his untimely
end. Mrs. Strosnider, Mrs. Harry Hud-
son, Mrs. George Swasey and Mrs. Alice
Strosnider, who reside in Tonopah, &C
ocmpanied the remains to Mason Valley.
The other relatives of deceased are 1. A.
Strosnider of this place and d. A. Stro-
snider, resident of Missouri.
Charlie Strosnider was a young man
we'll thought of in this community and
had many friends who sympathize with
the bereaved relatives. The funeral was
very largely attended and the services
were conducted by Rev. 7. H. Nicholas,
of Yerington.

HI. Pennington, of the Native Copper
Mining Company, of this district and
whose property lies just west Of town,
was visitor to the camp last week. He
was here to look over the property, see
what the work was showing up and plan
further work. The property is making
a good showing as indicated by the re-
port of Supt. ]. j. Burdette, under
whose management the development is
being carried on. For the past 80 days
a tunnel has been advanced in the
Fizzle claim following strong vein for
a distance of 81 feet. All of the ore in
this vein is of shipping grade. The
tunnel will eventually cut other veins,
the one being followed being six feet in

STOP ALL LAND ENTRIES

The Secretary of the Interior has di-
rected the Commissioner of the General
Land Office to issue no patents to lands
under any form OF entry until such entry
shall be investigated and examined by a
special agent of the General Land Office.
This order, if not modified, will tie up
practically all transfers of land from the
government to the public, as it is physi-
cally impossible for the force of special
agents now employed to examine the
doubtful percentage of entries. Hereto
fore investigations have been made only
of entries in which contests have been
entered or where fraud was suspected or
charged.

PRODUCTION OF COPPER

One hundred years ago. according to
the Copper Handbook, the mines of the
globe produced an average of about TO-
600 tons of long copper yearly less than
the present yearly output of either alu-
minum while in 1906 production is at
the rate of $1,000 long tons per week.
and there is much talk of copper fam
inc to which color is given by the pres
ent price of the metal, which is higher
than for twenty years past. Accord
ing to the Copper Handbook, just issued
by Horace ]. Stevens, of Houghton,
Mich, in 1905 there were fifteen indi-
vidual companies each of which pro-
duced more copper than all the mines of
the world combined produced in 1905,
and two mines, each of which made as
much of the metal last year as all of the
mines of the world made during the first
FIVE years of the Nineteenth Century,
the two mines in question being the
Calumet & Hecla, of Michigan. and the
Anaconda, of Montana.
Of the fifteen mines of the globe that
made rs, 600, 900 or more pounds each of
refined copper in 1905, ten are in the
United States, while there is one each in
Mexico, Spain, Germany and Japan, and
one, the American Smelling and REIN
ing Co., generally known as the Smelter
Trust, that draws it's copper ores from
numerous small mines in Mexico, Can
ada and the United States.
In 1905 there were 1873 properties cred
tied with production of one million or
more pounds Of fine copper each. of
the 100 leading producers, one, the
Smelter Trust, drew ores from nearly all
of North America, while the others were
located as follows: United States, 46;
Mexico, III; Chile, 10; Japan, s; Canada
and Australia, each Spain, Russia and
Cape Colony, 8 each; Germany. 2; Tas-
mania, Norway, Italy, Turkey and New
foundland, each. Ninety-fou of these
100 properties made more than 5000, 900
pounds of fine copper each in 1905.
