QUARTZ MILL
IN OPERATION

This last work on the re-construc-
tion of the dam of the Hercules
Mining company of Loops was
finished last week and the trial run
ef the electric power plant resulted
with entire satisfaction. Yesterday
morning the power was turned on
and the golden tune of the big
stamp mill sent an echo through
the Alpine hills. Aside from
operating the large mill which has
capacity of crushing 100 tons
of ore every twenty-four hours, the
electric power is being utilized to
operate drills in the mine and also
an electric locomotive which is
used to transport the ore from the
inner workings of the mine to the
mill.
Thousa nds of tons of ore have
been blocked out in the mine dur
ing the past year that carries
values of from $8 per ton up into
the thousands. BY the modern
metho 10 employed in mining the
ore and the cheap power in operat-
ing the mill. the cost of working the
ore will not exceed $l.50 per ton.

Alpine Attachment.

Capt. Curtz WAS in Gardnerville
last Friday on his return from a
tour of inspection of the mines of
Alpine county. In speaking of the
attachment he stated that the AL
pine Mining ompany was the
previous owner of the property
now in the controll of the Nevada
California Mines and the com pany
he represents. That through y
slight defect in the title of the prop
ety, the National Surety company
of Pittsburg was able to levy the
attachment against the property
because of debt OF the former own
ers. An attorney has been engsg-
ed to perfect the title and the
difficulty will be readily adjusted
by mutual consent of those impll-
Gated.
On his trip Mr.. Curtz was ac-
companied by his wife and Mr..
and Mrs. Bidwell. They returned
to Oakland on Fridays train.

" The Ladies and Not
County Dads Need
Criticizing?"

Editor Record Courier: Re-
plying to an article in last week's
issue of the Record Courier, "Cut
the Mail Order House," in order to
do justice to the previous board of
county commissioners and in fact
any other board of county COM
missioners of Douglas county, it is
but right to state that they have
never expended public money out
side of our county unless absolute
ly necessary.
Here are a few facts regarding
supplies ordered from Sears Roe
buck & Company as referrd to:
The Judge of our district court
made a demand that the commiss-
toner's to furnish the court room
forthwith with necessary beds,
bedding, etc. for jurors. Subas-
quently the commissioners in
structed the clerk to procure the
following supplies:
Thirteen folding cots, IL top
mattresses, 13 blankets, 13 feather
pillows, IL pillow cases, 13 sheets.
The clerk Immediately went to
Mack Bros. company and asked if
he could furnish the articles. Mr..
Mack stated that he did not have
the goods and did not know if he
could get them for the reason Of
the fire and earth quake ut San
Francisco which happened about
that time, it was almost impossible
to get any goods, he offered me
catalogues and suggested to write 10
Winestock X Lu5in or Breunsr
company of Sacramento, (mail
order housss) who could probably
fill the order at that time.
Under such circumstances, and in
order to loose no time in procuring
the needed articles for immediate
use, and with the approval of the
commissioners, ordered from Sears
Roebuck, OF Chicago, the bill OF
supplies, amounting to $1,000,
freight included.
The commissioners state that
they are willing to be criticised and
abused by the people OF Douglas
county; that they were elected
for that purpose, but if people ac-
cuses them of patronizing mail
order houses as q board of county
commissioners. Papa" Starke says
he will take off his coat and fight it
out with the editor or anybody
else.
The article on the whole il good
but should have been directed to
the people of Douglas county, and
especially 10 our dear ladies, but
the editor, what's the use; he would
rather criticise the board of county
commissioners than the people
and particularly the ladies.

Narrow Escape.

Last Tuesday evening Chris
Nielsen went through an experiences
that he does not care to repeat.
He WAS fixing his acetyline gas
plant because of some minor troub-
le and set = lantern down along
side of the generator. Without
warning, and before he realized
what happened an explosion oc-
cured and big flame of fire went
by his face. Luckily he WAS 80
standing that he did not get in
direct line with the flame, other
wise he would have lost consider
more hair than he did. There is
a moral to this little incident and
should be needed by those who
have to do with acteyline plants.

youngsters were the smallest bunch
Of "hoboes" that were ever run in"

pearance. splendid specimens Of the
weary willie" type. They were dirty
but happy and didn't seem to mind
their arrest much.
The bunch hailed from Philadelphia,
and gave their names as follows:
Philip West, aged 13; Francis Hadley,
aged 10: Walter Delaney, aged IL; Will
liam Kennan. aged 10. Clarence Clax-
ton. aged 13. and Elijah Crane, aged
18. The last two We're colored.
When arraigned before Magistrate
Hastings for a hearing to-day, the
prisoners were a motley looking
crowd. The Squire" sized them UP,
and then after hearing the evidence in
the case decided to let the youngsters
go on their promise to return home.
This they willingly agreed to do, and
the gang was happy once more.

WEALTHY CLUB
MAN SUED BY
YOUNG WOMAN

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1s.-sadie NJ
Hennings has brought suit against Will
liam b. Adamson, clubman, merchant
and athlete, for $4,000. charging breach
OF promise. Tho suit was filed IN Court
OF Common Pleas by Attorney Robert
Ii. Kelley.
Miss Hennings says in the ahldavit
that she met Adamson in 1902. and wag
on ordinarily friendly terms with him
for several years. They frequently
went out together. and as she was
youthful and pretty she says, Adaml
sons visits to her become more frequent
and his friendship more ardent. AT last
on June 20, 1906, date Miss Hennngs
remembers accurately. she says, he proA
posed to her and was lovingly accepted.
From then all her troubles dated.
The additional freedom incident to
an engagement was readily seized upon,
says Miss Hennings, and Adamson call
ed on her on an average four times a
week. They went to theatres, parks
took strolls and auto rides tin March
30. 1907, when she began to evince more
interest in the alleged promise OF mar
riage.
Adamson at that time, Il is said.
claimed he was not prepared 10 get
married. and referred her to a doctor
living near Sixteenth and oxford
streets. The. doctor and Adamson, de-
clares Miss Hennings, were very close
friends. and had many consultations as
to what to do with her. She was undet
his treatment for several weeks, when
her condition became so bad that shd
told Adamson that something must b,
wrong.
He then told her, It IS alleged, to go
10 her family physician and from himi
she says. she learned that an operation
had been performed without her knowl-
edge or consent.
After getting over the attack she
says. She again tried to make Adam
son live up to his alleged promise. but
on that occasion he fatty refused. say
ing she was fortunate that he had paid
her medicine bills.
Adamson rs well known in business
and club circles. His father. who diaN
in February. 1906, was Joseph Adam
son, head OF the manufacturing firm on
Adamson & Co, at Germantown and
