A Card From MIR. Sisson

Wlnona, Miss, 8,-6-07
The following statement was
given given out by Hon. T. u.
Sisson this morning:
10 my twenty-one thousand
loyal friends who stood by me in
the race for governor, | extend,
through this medium, my heart
felt and grateful thanks. They
made a good fight, and in my de-
feat | have no regret so great as
that | am conscious that my
friends must share it with me.
1t was not their fault that l did
not win, but my own. If | had
done as well as my friends we
would have won this fight. To
them | owe a debt of gratitude
that | can never pay. Their sup
port was given without money,
and without price. | made no
promise of any Office. | pur-
chased no newspapers | hired
no commissary to travel and work
for me. | slandered no opponents.
We made a clean fight and de-
lived no blow below the belt.
To those Of my fellow citizens
who voted against me | have no
word of censure or criticism. In
the exercise of their sovereign
choice they have acted perhaps
wisely. We all trust so. Let us
all hope that of the two distin-
guished Mississippians left in the
second primary that the choice
of the people between the two
may be wise, and whichever of
the two is elected that it may re-
dound to the honor, glory and
welfare of our great and grow
ing state.
| shall take no part in the race
between my two distinguished
opponents. because l think it
would be exceedingly unbecom-
ing in me to do so. | shall not
try to influence a vote one way
or the other. After the smoke
of battle shall have cleared away
let every Mississippian bury any
animosity occasioned by the con-
fict. and all put our shoulders
to the wheel" and work for the
honor and prosperity of Missis-
sippi.
Respectfully.
T. u. SIsSON.

RATES OF
Look Around.
(Southern Farm Gazette.)

The crops have got far enough
along now to show what good or
poor management has done for
them. The habit of observing
what deep or shallow blowing,
different kinds of fertilizing, or
various kinds of cultivating have
done for crops is one of the most
instructive a farmer can indulge
in. Of course he will be intelli-
gent enough to make allow nee
for whatever unusual there may
be in the season, I'D put more
reliance in observations that eX-
tend over a period of years than
in observations for only one year.
He should not fall into the error
of looking at crops for points to
prove some theory he has al
ready formed, but study the
crops and let the facts knock
down or build up the theory as
the facts warrant.
The, man who is welded blind
ly to a theory is r1awares court
ing his own undo ne. One kind
of breaking or cult ating may
seem to give better results be-
cause one field has more or less
humus in the soil. All the things
that go to make a good crop
must be considered. That is
hard to do, and the easiest way
to make comparisons is to COM
pare crops on fields in which
conditions Of soil are alike. Nav
be what one man would conclude
is the cause for a difference in
the quality of crops can be ex-
planned by a neighbor who may
recall some fact overlooked by
the first man. A mans neigh
Dor may seem to be less bright
than the man who places the es-
innate on him, and still be able
to supply data of importance
in such a question.
A nelghbor who has plenty OF
conclusions but no reasons for
them is not the best man to GO
to for information. Try out
men who advance theories, by
asking them to explain why they
are true. 1t is a good plan tc
try the same process on ones
self, particularly when theories
get to running riot. Then &C
back to the fields again to see
how the crops answer the same
theories. From now on to the
time that crops are harvested,
looking over the fields to gather
Information from what is seen
there will be time we'll spent.
This matter is recalled from time
to time because it is so impor.
tant that farmers should go tt
the crops for information.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
journal will be found the card
from Hon. T. u. Sisson in which
Mr.. Sisson accepts his defeat in
the best of spirit. Mr.. Sisson
received a large vote andi it is evil
dent that he is a very strong man
before the people of the State.
Very wisely he declined to make
an effors to deliver his vote to
either Mr.. Noel Or Mr.. Brewer,
but leaves his followers to vote
as they deem best. The future
holds in store greater honors for
MI. Sisson and the time will soon
come when he will doubtless have
his highest ambitions realized.

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown-where the

Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPs. That's why SCHNAPPS
and others of the Reynolds brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain Of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewers cannot resist
thehavora and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to-
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along one chewer makes other

was first sold than there are in the

SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine

to bring out it's natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all

cause they do not ff,da chew that
really pleases them better at any

Coal Thieves Busy

On account of the cold snap now
prevailing in Lovelock, hoboes and
others are getting busy and the rail-
road and lumber companies and other
coal dealers are missing the black
diamonds" in large quantities. Three
tramps were arrested Wednesday
night, each having a sack of coal.
They were before Judge Fits yes
terday, but as they swore they had
purchased the coal from other par
ties no case could be made against
them. They were turned loose, with
instructions to leave town before
nightfall. A close watch will be
made, and the officers state that the
next one found stealing coal will get
the limit.

holidays as the guest of Mr.. and Mrs,
l.. C. Tyler. Mr.. Tyler is operating
lease on Lookout No. 6 of the
Therien group, aud states that he is
developing a very promising ledge of
mill ore. The ledge shows width
of nearly four feet and was encount-
cred in the crosscut tunnel at a dis
tance of 85 feet. Drifting on the
ledge is being carried out, and from
the formation now being passed
through it is believed shipping ore

Two Foot Ledge Of Sugar
Quartz at Surface.
Prominent Mining Man From Seven
TrOughS District Reports Big
Strike On Mallery GrOup----MuCh
Assessment Work Being Done.

Ray Holbrook, one of Vernon's
leading business men, and who is also
extensively interested in mining
throughout the Seven Troughs dis
trict, was in Lovelock Wednesday, on
his way to Goldfield on short busi-
ness trip.
Mr.. Holbro ok says the district in
which he lives is quite active just
now, occasioned by the rush to do
the annual assessment work. In do
ing this work a number of new
strikes have been added to the dis
trict's already large list. One of the
most important strikes, and one
which gives everv indication of de-
veloping into big shipping PROPOSE
ton. was made on the Mallery group,
Joining the Peter Pan Gold Mining
company's property on the north
west. In running trench, a ledge
of sugar quartz. identical in charac-
ter as that found on the surfaces of
the Fairview Mazuma Hills and Kin
dergarten, has been cut. There is
two feet of this ledge that shows an
abundance of free gold, and some of
the ASSAYS are said to run several
thousand dollars in the yellow metal.
Messrs. Nickerson and Peterson, the
principal owners of the Mallery, are
preparing to sink shaft, and it is
believed by many who have examined
the new find that very little depth
will be required to open a big ship
ping proposition.
Other properties, which have been
closed down on account of the money
market, are preparing to resume
work. and Mr.. Holbrook concluded by
SAYING that the Seven Troughs dis
trict has innumerable prospects
which will be developed, and these,
together with the mines already
opened and proven, will make the
district rank second to none in the
state, and predicts big boom in the
coming spring or az soon as business
throughout the country reaches iti
normal condition.

experimenting work on the Mizpah

interested, and he stated that some
very promising lodges had been
opened on the surface. 1t is his inten-
ton, just as soon as the money panic
subsidies, to develop on a large scale.
The Mizpah will be opened by long

DISTRICT HAS
GREAT future
Says Los Angeles Millionaire
Mining Man.
N. ]. MOnnette, Who Won Distinction
and Fortune In GOldfield, InSpeCtS
Interests In the Seven TrOuqhS
DISSATISFACTION a Sure Winner.

M. ]. Monnette, one of the men
who assisted in making Goldfeld fa-
nous, and who now ranks as one of
Nevada's wealthiest mining men, was
in Lovelock for a few hours last
Monday on his way home in Los
Angeles. Mr.. Monnette was accom-
panied by H. Jacklin and Lester
Robertson, two wealthy capitalists
from Los Angeles.
Mr.. Monnette visited the Seven
Troughs district for the purpose of
inspecting the ,High-Up property in
which he is heavily interested. This
was the millionaire's first visit to
that district and he is more than en-
thusiastic in his praise and has no
hesitancy in predicting a great future
for that section.
THE time was limited said Mr..
Monnette, "and as consequence we
did not get to 60 over the district
thoroughly. But | must say that
what | did see convinces me that you
have in the near vicinity of Love-
lock great mining section. While
it is true the camp is as yet in a
stage of infancy insofar as develop
ment is concerned, the work already
done has demonstrated the existence
of mammoth lodges. These lodges
all show high mill values near the
surface and it is almost a certainty
that deep mining will open up the
high grade"
When asked what plans had been
made for the development of the
High-Up Mr.. Monnette said that
plans would be perfected this winter
and that in the early spring work
would be started and carried out on
an elaborate scale.

United Mining Company's property,
as the mine will eventually become a
valuable zinc producer, but adds an
other metal to the long list of dis
coveries in the neighborhood of Love-
lock Valley and leaves very few of
the metallic elements that have not
been discovered within radius of so
miles of Lovelock. The find is very
important and developments will be
watched with eagerness by the min
ing fraternity.
When asked regarding general de-
velopment, Mr.. Reid stated that not
only was the zinc showing big, but
that in the face of the long explora-
tion tunnel was exceptionally favor
able to copper dispositions. and that
a strike of copper is likely to be an
nounced at any time. 1t will require
about 700 feet more of tunnel work
before the main copper shoot is cut.
On the surface the copper ledge shows
width of 100 feet, and is traceable
for a distance of 1000 feet. When
the mammoth vein is tapped through
the tunnel at a depth of 1000 feet
some sensational discoveries are
looked for.
The Nevada United Mining Com
pany is working three shifts of men,
has air drills, and, in fact, a complete
and up-to-date mine equipment, and
is prepared to carry out work on a
very large scale, which, according to
the management, will be done.

Johnson Found Guilty
On the First Ballot

George johnson, who was impli-
Gated in a hold-up and robbery in
Lovelock last April, was found guilty
the first of this week in the district
court at Winnemucca. 1t only re-
quired ten minutes for the jury to
reach the verdict. The eyide nee was
strong against the accused man, and
evidence was introduced at the trial
showing that Johnson had a record
and was bad man."
Johnson, with man named James,
brutally assaulted and robbed Mr..
Miller, taking from the latter s. in
money, a pocket knife and a one-cent
piece. A short time after the rob-
berry Frank Hoskins arrested the pair
and recovered the booty, the hand
kerchief and knife being identified as
those belonging TO Miller.
On the trial in October, James, to
save johnson, made confession and
exhonorated his pal" of any COM
plicity in the robbery. James was
sentenced to serve long term. At
the trial which ended on Monday
very convincing evidence was intro
duced by local witnesses. Sheriff
Sherer of Colusa county, CAL, also
testified as to Johnson's record in
California. and it was brought out
that the latter had done time in San
Quentin for perjury.

Society Ladies Arrested
For Playing Bridge Whist

A reform wave has struck the
town of Loyalton and not only have
the saloons been closed and all forms
of gambling and card playing stopped,
but twenty-five leading society ladies
have been "pinched" for indulging in
a friendly game of bridge whist.
Early last week a number of 10y
alton's most prominent business men
were playing a game of cards. at
which there were no stakes, when
the officers appeared and arrested
the bunch. They were taken before
a justice of the peace, fined and
warned not to repeat the offense
The action of the officers 80 incensed
the wives of the gentlemen arrested,
that they decided to give the "law a
test" Accordingly, bridge whist
tournament was arranged and last
Saturday at the first meeting, when
the enthusiasm was becoming quite
noticeable, the mean man with the
star appeared and put all the ladies
under arrest.
The ladies were allowed to 20 on
their own recognizance and later the
matter will be thrashed out in court
when it will be determined whether
card playing for pastime will be al
lowed in the lumber town.

big Mining COMPANY
HAS IMPORTANT STRIKE
Nevada United Mining Company, Operating at
COppeFeid, Cuts Mammoth Ledge Of zinC--..
Ofe Shows a High Percentage and Adds
Largely to Assets Of Company.

A strike which carries with it
more than ordinary significance, and
one which will eventually result in
the establishment of a reduction
plant for the treatment of the ore,
has been made on the property of the
Nevada United Mining Company,
35 miles southeast of Lovelock. The
strike is none other than the uncov-
ering of an immense body of zinc
ore, and while as yet no thorough
analysis has been made, the ore
shows a large percentage of zinc to
the naked eye, and experts who have
examined the specimens recently
brought in by General Manager John
7. Reid pronounce the ore good, and
say that it can be worked to a profit.
In an interview with Mr.. Reid the
Tribune man learned that zinc ore
was encountered some six weeks ago
about 1900 feet from the portal of
the tunnel. Very little attention
was paid until recently. when it was
found that a ledge measuring over
250 feet had been cut. Lately Mr..
Reid has examined the new find pretty
thoroughly and has commenced ex-
and if the tests prove
there is but little doubt
that the company will do something
toward erecting a reduction plant
for the treatment of the ores.
The discovery of zinc not only adds
another valuable asset to the Nevada

General Funston, after having con-

and looking further into the causes
leading up to the strife between the
operators and miners, says that he
is finding conditions far worse than
he had anticipated.
In an interview with the news
paper men of that camp he said:
THE possibilities of serious trou-
BILE growing out of the difficulties
between the mine owners and the
miners are greater than my informa-
ton previous to coming to Goldfeld
had led me to believe. | have just

nation have gathered. | do not
believe the governor will declare
martial law at once, as no serious
disturbance has occurred. | am sat
isfied with this and shall not advise
such action until it is absolutely nee
essary. AS to the matter of patrol
ling the vicinity of the mines and the
streets of the city with the regulars,
that is a procedure that may be-
come necessary at any hour
General Funston has announced
that he thinks it unwise to remove
all the troops at Goldfeld and says
that this will not be done. A large
portion of those now stationed there
will remain all winter, or until time
when it is known there will be no
more outbreaks.
The situation throughout the
southern camp is practically the
same as last week. A number of the
mines are now working, but with only
a few men. Several outside non
union men have gone to work and
the mine owners state that within
the next two weeks enough men will
have been secured to work the mines
and mills to their full capacity.
