SKIPPED OUT

DeGrandpre, the tailor who came here
a month or more ago and opened shop
in company with Mr.. White, left for
parts unknown the latter part of last
week. He borrowed considerable money
about town, took all of the firm money
and did some check business that was
not legitimate before leaving We un-
derstand that warrant is out for his ar
rest and he will be brought back to face
some serious chargesif if he can be located.
The firm was doing a good business,
but DeGrandre had the gambling fever
and sloughed the proceeds of the firm
off as fast as it got into his hands. His
partner is left in bad position, as De-
Grandpre collected money on number
of suits that were about ready for deliv-
cry and made no accounting to the firm.
However, Mr.. White says he will make
all losses to customers good if given a
little time AS yet it has not been
learned where DeGrandpre went, but
the officers propose to find him if it is
possible

ANOTHER MAN GETS fever

D. V. Gelder, who has been visiting
this camp for months past in business
capacity, has been taken with the fever
of accumulating red and yellow metal,
and has, in company with John Maurer,
of Reno, secured five claims short dis
tance east of Buckskin With but little
work done on them some of these claims
are showing very nicely on the surface.
At depth of only 8 feet on the Point of
Rocks claim he obtains assays running
$31. Al in gold and small percentage of
copper. On the Flyer claim, at depth
of feet, he gets an assay of $3.50 i'll
gold in the quartz and $500 in the ,por-
phyry. The ledges are good sized on
the surface and can be traced for some
distance. The property adjoins that of
Benham and Knox, and contract has
been let to do assessment work on ,all OF
the claims. AS soon as this is done a
place will be selected to do some devel-
opment work in the way of sinking and
crosscutting

THEY WANT TO
BE NEvADANS

The lines proposed for the State which
the divsionalists propose to cut off Cali
fornia, includes the counties of San
Diego. Riverside, Orange San Bernar-
dino, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Bar
bara, San Luis Obispo, Kern, Tulare and
Inyo. The area is 742, 513 square miles,
population, 1900, 1863, ,o77, assessed value
in 1902, $26e, ,335, ,e77.
If the people of Inyo should have any
thing to say about their inclusion in the
partnership their verdict would be en-
phatically negative, we believe. While
the southern part of the State might
have become our market, supply point
and neighbors. it has taken little inter
est in this country beyond coveting some
of the items which will make it promi-
nent. The less alliance we must have
with Los Angeles the better it will plea Sc
Inyo.
If imperial California is to be dismem-
bered, the sole reason (that of sentiment
alone), for objection to separation from
it would be removed.
In the breakup these counties east of
the Sierras should fall where Natures S
division line has been set at the summit
of the Sierras. The counties on this side
should be made part of the State with
which they are identical in sympathy
and general interest, and in which they
will have some recognized standing. If
possible by efforts to make the cession to
Nevada part of any State division plan,
all should be ready to push that issue to
a conclusion at the proper moment.
Los Angeles will doubtless oppose such
an arrangement with all it power, sirnp-
ly because of the additional difficulties
which would thereby arise in dealing
with the water steal which it proposes to
make. So far, apparently, it has been
able to win out on the proposition that
Inyo has no rights which need be re-
spected further than the water scheme
may dictate. If possible let us get into
commonwealth where we will be more
than region to be plundered.
The d1vlslonlstS insist on the validity
of law passed in 1859, under which a
popular vote was taken. The vote for
division was 2,477, against 828. Barring
the righteousness of taking the express
sion so years old as present day guide,
and the small vote then cast, it strikes
us that the constitution adopted in 1879,
and establishing State boundaries, must
render that action void '-Inyo Register.

MINNESOTA-YERINGTON

The above is the name of the new
company which is now being organized
to operate the big property in this dis
trict recently purchased from Otto Tau
bert by Key Pittrnan and associates of
Tonopah and Goldfeld. The papers
and other arrangements are about COM
pleted for this organization, and as soon
as they are the company will begin act
i've development on the property on a
large scale. The Truckee River Electric
Power Co. S line, now being built to
Yerington. will run close to this prop
erty and power will be installed at the
mine as soon as possible, an air COM
pressor put in and the red metal gone
arter in a systematic manner by sinking
and crosscutting. Some samples of ore
from this property were brought to this
office this week from hole only 5 feet
deep. This ore is mixture of cuprite,
carbonate and sulphides and carries
from 40 to As per cent. copper. The
Minnesota Yerington has the making OF
big mine.

MARSAL-DANDURAND

Andy Marsal, of this place, and Miss
Cena Dandurand, of Dayton, were quietly
married at the home of the BRIDES par
ents last Sunday. They returned to
Yerington Thursday and will make this
place their home. Mr.. Marsal is en-
gagged in mining in this district and is
young man of worth, while his bride is
well known here and in Virginia City,
as one of the brightest and prettiest
girls in this part of the State Both OF
the young folks have host of friends
here who wish them all kinds of good
luck in their new relationship. Andy
opened a barrel of beer for the boys
when he returned.

FIRE PROTECTION NEEDED

One of the greatest needs of the town
at the present time is fre-6ghting ap-
paratus. There is now absolutely no
way to extinguish blaze except by a
bucket brigade. There are not even
convenient ladders to reach the high
buildings with in case of fire, and
should fire get good start the town
would be swept off of the map. When
the town gets set of officers this should
be one of the first things to be looked
after, and a night watchman should be
employed to watch for fire and give an
alarm in case one started.
Wednesday fire started in the salt
grass behind the Owl saloon, and but
for timely work it would have caused
much damage The town is building
up rapidly with infammable buildings,
and caution against fire should be used
by all, especially on windy days.

Pine GROVE
An Old Camp That is Going
To Make Another Showing.

That Pine Grove will soon be an active
camp there is little doubt as the property
adjoining the Wilson mine on the west,
consisting of FIVE claims, has been pur-
chased by the Drummond Mines Com
pany which promises to do considerable
work in that section soon. In fact sew
eral men are employed there at the
present time and it is expected that at
least fifteen men will be employed within
the next three months by this company.
The Drummond Mines Co., is COM
posed of California men and its presi-
dent is E. w. Drummond who, with his
partner, Mr.. Savage. recently sold to
Geo. Wingfeld mine located in Vol
cano Canyon, Placer county, California.
for sum in the neghborhood of $780,
900.
The Drummond Mines Company has
also secured six claims in two groups in
the East Walker District six miles from
Pine Grove on which work will be pros
ecuted vigorously. This company's prop
erty is all located in Esmeralda county
but it has established its main Office in
Yerington where it is now building
Offices for its own use. In again men
tioning Mr. Drummond's name we will
say that lie has followed the mining bus
mess all his life and he comes recon-
mended as a conscientious and reliable
operator Associated with him are F. p.
Jaquette and c. A. Barnett and all three
of these gentlemen are unit in push
and energy and are enthusiastic in their
belief that Yerington has great future.
1t is we'll known fact that several mill
ions have been taken from the Wilson
and the Wheeler mines which join this
company's property and there is every
reason to think that the Drummond
Mines Company will develop good
mine on that portion of its holdings as it
has an excellent showing on the surface
according to assays that run as high as
500 in gold.

BUILDING MATERIAL NEEDED

Yerington is about on the verge Of a
building boom; there are numerous tent
houses going up all over the town, which
are increasing the danger from fire
greatly. These tent houses are being
constructed because there is not sufficient
lumber to build entirely of wood, and
they are only for temporary use. Still
they are dangerous to the balance of the
town. Every car load of lumber which
arrives here is eagerly snapped up, and
the price has risen to $45 per thousand
for rough lumber and about $50 for sur
faced lumber. Anybody with a million
or more feet of lumber can sell it here
in the next ninety days.

GOOD COPPER SHOWING
IN FITTING DISTRICT

Otto and August Taubert and J. S.
Hodges returned this week from Fitting
District, the scene of the latest copper
strike, and report considerable activity
there Taubert and partners have the
townsite of Copperfeld in the new dis
trict The new strike is about a mile
and three quarters from Kinkead siding
on the Nevada & California road. On
their recent trip there the Tauberts and
Mr.. Hodges purchased from Messrs.
Eastman, Greenman and Mehlhorn six
claims in the new district for substan-
tial sum of money. They have very
fine piece of property and we saw assays
which give S6. So in silver, S6. 20 in gold
and l6 per cent in copper, and $40 in
silver, $120 in gold and 80 per cent
copper. Mr.. Taubert also brought in
some ore that will run as high as As per
cent in copper. While here these par
ties purchased team and wagon besides
other supplies for their mine, and will
at once return and begin active develop
ment work on their claims. They expect
to ship their first carload of ore to Salt
Lake inside of two weeks.
Mr. Taubert has sold his Big Mitt
property in the new camp to California
and Salt Lake people, and company
will be organized to develop it at once.
Senator Oddie has eight men at work
on his property in the new district.
Native copper has been found III one
or two claims in the district within two
feet of the surface.

IMPORTANT REAL
ESTATE DEAL

transaction in real estate took place
in Yerington this week which will be of
considerable importance to the place.
This was the sale of the Hironymous
tract of about 50 acres of land lying just
north of Pearl street and east of Main
street. This tract is within the new city
limits and it has already been plated
and made ready for the sale of city lots.
The property was purchased by George
Pringle, of this place, who recently pur-
chased the Commercial Hotel, Jack
Campbell, of GoIdfeld, and other asso-
ciates from Goldfeld and Salt Lake The
deal was promoted by Thomas Conner
ford, also of the Commercial Hotel. AL
ready quite number of lots have been
sold in the newly-platted district, and
quite number more have been spoken
for. This tract is one of the most desir-
able in the incorporated limits and lots
will undoubtedly sell rapidly. The
tract is laid out in a manner so that all
streets and alleys will be uniform clear
from Bridge street to the north end of
the tract. Lots will be sold at reason
able prices, and it will not be long be-
fore considerable building will be done
in this neighborhood. The price paid
for the tract was in the neighborhood of
500 per acre. A few more deals like
this, and the acquisition of some new
boosting blood and there will be no
doubt about the permanency of the city
of Yerington.

inclined. Any one can break the
agreement, if he wants to be so
devilish mean, by transferring his title
to some other member of the family
or by some other snide trick, but you
still have the privilege, on the author
ity of Judge Lynch, to tar and feath-
er the white-livered spalpeen.
In building a house like this it is
better to get lot so feet wide if you
can. That leaves room for nice
lawn together with suitable outside
decorations without giving the prop
erty a crowded built-in effect. The
final finishing up of the grounds and
general surroundings of the house has
not received as much attention at the
hands of builders as it should. Or
dinarily architects and builders are
satisfied to design a good house, and
see that 1t Is properly built, while
leaving the surrounding and final en-
bellishments entirely with the owner.
Now the fact is houses are built,
for the most part, by men who have
spent the early years of their lives in
business, and their attention has been
taken up with matters entirely differ
ent, and they are not qualified to an.
range the many details that properly
go with a well arranged home. They
may know what they want in a gen.
eral way, but when it comes to fitting
a house to a lot in a community IL
which they would like to live a little
assistance from man who under.
stands such things is a great help
and will be appreciated in after years.
Many mistakes have been made by
putting unsuitable houses in certain
communities and a great many more
mistakes have been made In neglect
Ing to fit the house to the lot, OF in not
buying a lot to fit the house that the
man wants to build.
One of the commonest mistakes in
building is to place the house the
wrong way. There are house plans
that are perfectly satisfactory when
fronted south which would badly fit
a northern outlook. The direction I'm
which house fronts means a good
deal to some people, while others care
very little about 1t. North. south.
east and west all have advantages
and they all have disadvantages. Il
very much depends on the likes and
dislikes OF the inmates, but a great
deal also depends on the plan of the
house.

good way Of fastening the windows
open, or part way open, so they will
stay put in all kinds of weather. You
don't want to climb the upper stair
during storm when the lightning is
blinking at you to shut and fasten an
obstreperous sash so 1t won't wig
wag the glass all out of it. Such
little excursions when taken in the
middle of the night lead to more
things than the attic; they lead to pro-
family, and that is wrong.
Being practically 30 feet wide, this
house needs 40-foot lot if it be on
the corner, and the lot should be
wider if there is house on each side
of it. Sometimes there are build
ing restrictions which require all
houses on a certain street to be

To Press a Coat

All pressing should be done on the
wrong side, except the last or finish
ed pressing. Turn the collar up, damp
en- and stretch. Hold up one end and
press it the form of loop, so as to
keep the round effect. Dampen the
revers on the padded side along the
fold and press until dry. In pressing
the sleeves, the shoulders should be
placed over a pad. Then the entire
coat should be pressed on the right
side, using wet cloth and hot iron
to give a finish.

Temperinu FIatirons.

The first right of a new flatiron is
to be we'll tempered. To do this it
should be allowed to heat gradually,
and stay hot for several hours in sue
cession without use, then it should
gradually cool and be set aside. After
this it should be allowed to heat only
when wanted for use.
The habit which some housewives
have of putting on the fats" at all
times, lest perchance they should
need them, will eventually spoil the
temper of the best-tempered flatiron
in existence.-Harper's Bazaar.

For a corner lot or an extra wide
lot like a square house with four
sided roof. This style of roof has
been popular for cottage houses for a
great many years. In fact, 1t used
to be known in the east as cottage
roof because in New York, and other
eastern states, square built one story
houses were common. Some of these
cottage houses were SO large that the
roof needed all the support possible.
and this pointed peak style was found
especially suitable.
1t looked well then, and 1t looks
well now, but we make these roofs
much sleeper and add a few roof
windows which enables us to get the
benefit of a good garnet that In the
old style roof was too dark. Some
times we tuck several bedrooms away
In the corners Of these pyramid roofs,
but when We do that We generally
run the wall up foot or two higher
and extend the windows down consid-
erably lower than these.
AS this house is builtsthe attic is all
right for storage purposes and to
hang the family wash on rainy or
snowy days, and it is worth a great
deal in comfort during the summer
just to keep the house cool when the
sun shines hot and the wind comes
right out of a furnace somewhere
down in the southwest.
To appreciate a good attic at its
full value you must have the window
sash hung with strong hinges, butts
are all right generally, but sometimes
strap hinges are better; they are
sure better If you have the sash made
with wide enough stiles to properly
hold the screws. You must have some

sewing Is not half as hard as some
people find 1t If the sewing machine
Is kept in good running order. When
the sewing machine works hard and
heavily take the needle and shuttle
out and give every joint and bearing
generous bath Of gasoline OF course
there should not be a lighted lamp
or ire OF any kind in the room. Turn
the wheels briskly for few moments
to enable the gasoline to penetrate
every part and to loosen and wash
away the old oil and CRIME. Then clean
1t all away. When all the CRIME and
oil has been removed oil with proper
lubricating oil, running the machine
for two or three minutes before in
sorting the needle. Now, with piece
of chamois skin, wipe away all super
fuous oil. 1t is pleasure to sew on
