WATER MIXED WITH GASOLINE

To a correspondent who asks how
one may tell when water has been
mixed with gasoline. The Automo-
bile Magazine (New York, March) an
swers as follows: IF the water is
mixed with the gasoline, the best plan
to find it out is to put spoonful III 4
saucer and set fire to it in safe
place. All the gasoline will burn up
and leave the water behind. Anolher
way is to run the mixture through 4
bag made of chamois leather. vixen
the gasoline will pass through, but
the water will remain behin1 Il
water in the gasoline has settleo ia
the bottom of the tank it will pa~s
into the carbureter and prevent the
engine from starting. If the carbur-
erter is permitted to overflow. one can
tell by the touch if water is running
through. To become familiar with
this touch, dip the fingers into gaso
line and rub them together, then DO
the same thing with water. A differ
ent sensation is felt between th2 two
fluids

HER WEDDING DAY
Regular Old Fashioned Meiodrama
Last Evening at the Opera House

There was a good attendance last
evening to witness the Eckhardts
company in Her Wedding Day"
which is an out and out. blown in the
bottle melodrama. Helen Gray, the
heroine, gets mixed up in a scandal
in early life and goes out to live it
down. Some fellow follows her about
the country and gives her land ladies
the tip. Mrs Cobb very vinagary
specimen Of femininity and the village
gossip, fires her from her boarding
house and of course Nolan Crane q
young schoolmaster happens along
about that time and catches her be-
fore she hits the ground. They pro-
Iceed to become engaged.
She figures about coughing up her
past to her intended and while she is
figuring along comes the heavy viii
liam and saves her the trouble. He
at once gets handed package in the
shape of jolt on the jaw by Mr..
Crane to the great satisfaction of the
gallery, who nearly lift the roof off
iapplaudin2. He comes back with a
gun which goes off in the air as all
guns invariably do when fired by vii
hans.
There is also 4 school room scene
where number of Carson kids were
introduced. They acted SO naturally
that they captured the stage from the
professionals and got most of the ap-

The audience were quite in SYM

by the Grey girl and handed them
large wads of applause whenever they
got a show.
Miss Vera Brown sang and danced
between acts and was recalled.
The moving pictures were excellen
and one of the songs between the acts
was so taking that the audience
joined in.
The Great Northwest or the Road

1t is about the liviliest drama of the
kind on the road and we'll worth

THAT SUNSET OIL STOCK
The Money Arising From the Sale Of
:. the Tonopah Mining Stock Has
Not Reached the Stockholders

Not Reached the Stockholders
The Appeal Office continues to be
the recipient of queries relative to
the whereabouts Of the money which
Senator Nixon received from the sale
of mining stock purchased by money
belonging to the stockholders of the
Sunset Oil company.
I The history of this transaction
briefly stated is this:
Some years ago a number of people
in Carson invested several thousand
dollars in Sunset Oil stock. The we'll
was sunk a few hundred feet and the
tools stuck and there was several
thousand dollars left in the treasury
Of the company. 1t was decided by
the stockholders that this money
should be invested in Tonopah mines
and they selected George Nixon to de-
eide which mines were the best in
vestments.
About three months ago Senator
Nixon turned over to the officers
of the Sunset Oil Company in Reno
the sum of $4,000 and upward for the
benefit of the stockholders
They supposed hat they would get
their money at once as Mr.. Nixon
published the full record of the trans.
action and made a public accounting.
The stockholders are still whistlins
| for their money.
No one seems to know who to apply
to for settlement.
The Appeal will state for the bene-
! fit of the stockholders that Mr.. Sam
Wheeler of Reno is the p( eident of
the company and the money should be
in his hands or the hands of the
treasurer. If anyone is now holding
on to that money it is unlawfully
withheld and should be accounted for
at once. Some of the stockholders
have engaged Oscar J. Smith of Reno
to represent them and collect the
money.
Possibly it is there awaiting claim
ents. The Appeal would suggest thai
people in Carson who want their
money send their claim to Oscar
Smith or any other attorney in Rene
and it can be easily collected
The Appeal will further state tha
Senator Nixon has been criticised fol
putting some of that money in prop
critics in which he was interested anC
the stock of those properties depre
ciated. The Appeal among othe
papers made this statement. -
matter OF fact Senator Nixon ca y
> his own pocket made good the los
through investment in his mines
This was certainly a very h -.
able act and the Appeal present :,
apologies for making the staten ..
: that the company lost through his il
!. vestment in his own properly. Th
, investments Nixon made nette
enough money TO bring the Carso
!, stockholders out a little more tha

RAMSEY NOTES

Inc New camp TO the front as
Producer
Late development of Ramsey Cphir
ground on the east trend of the Clark
dixie shows the group is the real
thing. Both the main tunne! and the
workings on the Clark lease above
are taking out rich ore, the same in
character as occurs in the oxide zone
of the big strike and the property is
plainly showing the pres alica of the
same big rich lead. They are at
present driving the tunnel TO crosscut
the dixie and will soon determine its
extent and trend at this Point on the
hill. The Ramsey Ophtr property lies
on the south slope Of Gonauz:i Mount
ain and is covered with thin maiap:e
Gaping. The strong pGrphyrv ledge
shows through however, ;.u't It's gen
eral course is evident for great dis-
tance. The entire length Of the Ophir
ground shows it's presence al.d they
have uncovered it in numerous places.
The tunnel will cut it in the ishDOr-
hood of 200 feet depth and this should
reveal some high values. The work
ings are well up the hill from the
Ramsey Comstock and it is not
known just how much depth will be
required to secure water level. There
is much indication in tae tur.,el the
ore will carry sulphides. Every little
way they have encountered rich
seams and veins and it is intended to
give attention to some of these lit
tie later. The mine is in excellent
shape and the owners are very con-
fident of big production in the near
future.

The owners of the Walkoyer mine
have arranger preliminaries and will
soon have the rich Walkover dixie in

outcrop is visible nearly the claims
length and probably is more prolific OF

ledge in the district, with the excep
ton of the famous Clark dixie, owned
by the Ramsey Comstock company

Clark dixie and it is the fact of its
