BURIAL OF THOS. T|ERNEY

Miss Hannah T'ierney, sister of
Thomas Tierney. who was found dead
in Yerington last week Tuesday, was an
arrival here last Saturday from her
home in Garner, Iowa. The body of
the deceased had been held here with
the view of shipping it to the old home
for interr:nent, but when Miss Tierney
arrived she decided to have the burial
take place here. The funeral therefore
took place last Monday The Miners
Union members took charge of affairs
and rendered Miss Tierney every assist
ance and courtesy. Miss Tierney re-
manned here during the week to
straighten up the affairs of her brother
and left for her home III the East today.
Her journey and mission was sad one
and while here she made many friends
who sympathize deeply with her in her
bereavement.

BUSINESS CHANGES

Gus Nye sold his restaurant business
in the Palace Saloon this week to a
Chinaman Gus is going to the springs
for awhile for the benefit of his health
and to take a rest After recuperating
for few weeks he will probably get
into business again.
J. Russell has sold his interest in the
Owl Cafe to r. d. Butler. Mr.. Butler
is new conner in the camp but likes the
looks of the place and is willing to take
a chance here He will continue to
make the Owl Cafe one of the best eat
ing places in the camp
ID. w. Mckenzie purchased this week
the gambling interests of Requa and
Maher in the Owl saloon and now has
the entire business of that establishment
in his own name.

Valley can be found who remembers
having seen the man until they looked
upon his dead body.
In connection with this affair there is
another strange feature. On the day be-
fore the murder was committed man
by the name of Byron Nash, who has
been in the employ of the Truckee River
General Electric Company as ineman
and pole-setter, was in Wellington with
friend named Reynolds. Nash was
spending some money for drinks, and
the stranger, supposed to be Smart, but
ted in. Nash and Reynolds did not like
his appearance, SO they shook him Be-
fore doing this, however, Nash had
shown the stranger his horse and saddle
in the stable, and it was this horse and
saddle that was missing the next morn
ing. Nash and the murdered man
closely resembled each other, and it is
supposed that when the murderer COM
mitted the deed he thought he was kill
ing Nash, who he knew had some money
on his person. Mr.. Nash was in YER
ington the first of the week, and he is
firmly convinced that lie owes his life to
changing his mind as to where he would
sleep on the night on which the murder
was committed.

THE union BLUE
SHIPPING ORE

Ore from the Union Blue Company's
ground located about mile and a
quarter north of the Ludwig shaft, is
now being loaded OH wagons for ship
ment to Salt Lake carload of this
ore will be shipped just as soon as it can
be hauled to the depot at Wabuska. This
ore is beirg taken out of the face OF a
tunnel that is only in distance OF about
20 feet and which cuts the ledge at only
a short depth below the surface. Sam
pies of the ore shown at this Office run
as high as 40 per cent, and the charac-
ter of the ore is an oxide and bornite,
but the average grade of ore shipped
will probably run about 20 per cent.
The Union Blue is the property that +.
d. Goodale took bond on the first part
of last June. Mr.. Goodale was out at
that time from his home in Denver, Col
orado, and liked the looks of the coun-
try so WE'LL particularly that section of
it in which the Union Blue claims are
located, that he secured the option at
once and began development work soon
after. The ground is in an excellent To-
cality and the showings so far made are
indicative of valuable copper property
being opened up in the very near future.

The nevada MAMMOTH
Will BE DEVELOPED

Prominent German capitalists of the
Fast have become interested in the Ne
vada Mammoth Gold Mines Company to
the extent of taking over $50. 600 shares
of the stock of that company and paving
therefor the sum of $50, 900. The Nam
moth Company. as has before been stat
ed in these columns, owns 26ggold claims
IN the old Cambridge district, situated
about 2S miles south of Yerington. Ore
was taken from several of the claims of
the company in early days that ran very
high in the precious metal, and there is
vet exposed in the property thousands
of tons of low grade milling ore and
punches of high grade that run way up
in the thousands. The company has
placed the amount of stock above named
with the parties spoken of for the pur-
pose Of raising money to develop the
property and build small mill to work
the ore from the mine. No stock is
being sold by the company for any other
purpose at the present time OF the
$50, 900 placed in the treasury by the
parties who have become interested in
the company, $50, 900 will go for the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1907-08-03
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Tom Jordan and Walter Dunn were
arrested this week on charge of cruelty
to animals. The charge was preferred
by Bill Wise, whose team the men had
borrowed and driven around for some
time, after which they tied the team in
front of the Methodist church, where
the animals stood without food or water
Tor many hours it is alleged. Rev. Mr..
Nicholas unhitched the horses and fed
and watered them, and it is stated in
the complaint that the horses were with
out food or water for "a hours. The
case is on trial in the Justice Court this
afternoon. A few stiff fines i'll cases
where dumb animals are treated i'll this
way or beaten up by brutal drivers will
undoubtedly tend to make the lives OF
the animals more pleasant

he particularly anxious to leave the $50
bail money behind when he had such a
sure shot of pulling it down.
The cases of OBrien, Timblin, Fay
Ferguson and Mildred Jones, on a
charge of grand larceny, was called in
the Justice Court last Saturday after
noon. AT the hearing O'Brien and the
Jones girl were discharged for lack of
evidence. The Ferguson girl was held
to appear before the grand jury. Tim
bin was remanded to the custody of the
Constable, and Monday night he had a
hearing and was d, charged.

WHEELER ORE IS
BEING SHIPPED

{. d. Rooklidge, who was here last
week looking over the properties in
which he is interested the Yerington
Copper and Wheeler mines, returned to
Salt Lake the first of this week after
making arrangements to ship carload
of gold ore from the latter property
This ore is from the recent strike in the
mine and it will undoubtedly run close
to $500 to the ton. Development work
at the mine is progressing nicely and
the ground is looking better with each
days work. Teams are now hauling the
ore to the railroad at Wabuska and about
twenty tons have so far been delivered.

The haul is long one and the carload
will probably not be made up before the
middle or last of next week. This ship
ment is being made simply to show what
can be done with this property. The
distance from the mine to the railroad
is SO great that the cost of shipping any
thing but very high grade ore would be
out of the question. The company is
erecting small mill on the property
and expects to have it in operation in a
very short time. There is good reason
to believe that when this mill gets into
operation that the natives will be sur
prised at what this district can do in the
way of producing gold.

East Walker River. This ranch consists
OF some 1000 acres of very fine land and
a valuable water right. 1t is the latter

How to Cure a Cold

Be as careful as you can you will oc- casionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability, one that has an established reputation and that is certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by it's remark able cures of this most common ail- ment, and can always be depended upon.
 It acts on natures plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the se- cretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneu- monia when this remedy was used, which shows exclusively that it is a certain preventative of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult. For sale by El Centro Drug Store.

Southern Pacific railroad, neither do the people feel in any way that they have a grievance against the road. The Southern Pacific has already done too much for Imperial Valley to be considered in any but a friendly attitude. But, as a matter which is of great importance to everybody here. it is eminently proper that the suggestion for better service be made and so insistently that the necessities of the valley will be recognized.

TRAIN SERVICE

The increased passenger and freight traffic to and from valley points during the past few weeks serves to. emphasize the made quacy and unsatisfactory nature of the service. The train ar- engagements may have been suffi- cient in the earlier days of the valley. They are not what the people of the new and growing
 county of Imperial need and de- serve to have. Business men
 who travel between Los Angeles and Imperial county frequently
 would appreciate a service which would permit them to travel by
 night by through trains thus en- abling them to transact a day s business in Los Angeles with the loss nf only one day from home instead 9f the loss of three as now. A through train by night with sleeper accommodations would provide equal accommoda- tions for the busy Los Angeles man who desires to visit the val ley, perhaps make an investment and return with as little time lost as possible. There is no just cause for complaint against the

It is reported that the Mexi- can Company has paid the claim of Dick Thing for damages infic- ted by the flood waters from the Colorado river. The property destroyed consisted of hay and grain crops, and were growing in Mexico a few miles south of Calexico in the summer of 1906, when the floods came. Mir. Thing is a citizen of Mexico, and therefore in very strong posi- tion regarding the matter, but it is reported that the claim was settled out of court. Several American citizens have lands be- low the line, that were badly washed, but it is doubtful if any of them had secured the neces- sary permits to enable them to legally own lands in Mexico, others had bought land on con- tract and title had not passed to them. In neither case would they have a right to demand damages; as the Mexican laws are said to be quite strict in such matters.

VALLEY PROSPEROUS

No better evidence of the sol idity and certainty of Imperial Valleys prosperity could be pro- duced than the fact that at a time when many other sections of the country are laboring at a disadvantage because of financial stringency it's own progress has been unimpeded even for a day. Holidays have been declared for several days by Gov. Gillette of California as a protective meas ure for the banking institutions of the state. The Imperial Val ley banks have not found it nec- essary to take advantage of the proclamation but have continued to do business without fear, even with a high degree of optimism. During the last ten days, at the very time when other institutions have felt the strain most severely the Valley State bank at El Gen. tro has increased it's deposits $12,0O0. In the same time the Citizens bank of Holtville has in- creased $8,0O0, the First State bank at Calexico $12,000, the Brawley bank $8,000 and the I'm perial banks show a correspond ing increase. In El Centro in two days this week $6,000 of business and residence lots were sold. In Holtville sales of S4, GOO to $5, 900 of lots were recorded and all over the valley there is a gratifying activity in real estate business. Merchants in every town are doing every bit of busi- ness they can possibly handle. The signs of material prosperity as well as of growth and progress can be seen on every hand. The people of the new county are en- toying the first fruits of their victory over the desert and front fer conditions. With matchless climate, wonderfully fertile soil, favorable business and industrial conditions and men of ability and energy to direct them Imperial county's progressive march to- ward greatness and opulence goes on, unimpeded and unchecked.

A movement of importance to the stockmen of Imperial county was inaugurated this week when a call was issued for a meeting of stockmen throughout the val ley to be held in the forenoon of Nov. 12 at the hall of Water Go. No. 1 at Imperial for the purpose of forming a Live Stock Associa- tion. It is proposed to make the association a mutual organization for the protection of the health of live stock, the recovery of strayed, lost or stolen stock, prosecution for thefts and regis tering of brands and marks. It is important that every stockman be present at this meeting if pos sible.
