Notwithstanding the fact that the rail
road company has notified the people of
Nevada to prepare for fuel famine next
Winter, there seems to be nothing 1oing
IN Herington to assure supply of coal
or wood for use during the coming cold
weather. Wood is selling her now at
about SIC per cord and it is hard to get
at that price. Cottonwood is being held
at $40 per cord on several of the ranches
and it costs So or 81 per cord to get it
delivered in town. While this price is
very high for this locality. the prices
may be expected to double before the
next Winter is past 1t las been an
nounced that Reno has succeeded in
making arrangements to get all the coal

per ton. People III Yerington who have
been trying to arrange for supply of
coal for the needs of this town are in
formed, so we are told, that they cannot
get any coal al any price. While we are
comfortably warm at the present time it
sl1odld be remembered that cold weather
will be here inside of ninety DAYS, and
thar It takes from 20 to 90 davs to get
freight into this camp from almost any
point. If something is not done soon to
secure supply of coal the price of wood
will go out of sight and there is liable to
be suffering here when the cold months
arrive. Would it not be good plan for
the Chamber of Commerce to take this
matter up with the railroad people and
see if we cannot be assured supply of
coal for the Winter?

MOUNTAIN VIEW
COMING ALONG

+. G. Willis, one of the owners of the
Red Grow group of gold claims in the
Mountain View district, came into Yer
ington a few days ago and reports the
Taylor Shafer lease as having an eight
inch streak of ore III the middle of a
ledge which is over so feet wide and
which the the leasers and owners are
confident will mill SIS to the ton. It
will be well for mining men coming into
the district to keep their eye on the

able district is only fourteen miles east
of Yerington, and will, without doubt
in the very near future, contribute ma
terially to the advancement of the bust
ness interests of this city, as the owners

100000 FOR
RECLAMATION

Secretary of the Interior Garfield, who
has just finished inspecting the Truckee-
Carson project, is highly pleased with
the progress made there He completed
his tour of Nevada the first of this week
and returned to California
While at Fallon he announced that
upon his return to the national capital
he would recommend that next year
20, 800, coo should be spent on the recla-
nation work in Nevada instead of SIS
600, 600 as before. The reduction in the
amount of money expended was in keep
ing with a general retrenchment policy
low being followed by the government.
This was the most important announce
ment made by the official
While at Fallon the farmers of that

their grievances the destruction of their
crops from the overflow of the irrigated
lands. The farmers thought the gov
eminent should stand this expense, the
money being taken from the fund set
apart for the irrigation work Garfield,
however, is planning to arrange a scheme
by which such damages will be assumed
and paid by the water company, l. e. j,

DOUGLASS TAILINGS SOLD

Dayton correspondent sends word
this week that the big deposit of tailings
located couple of miles below Sutro,
OH the Carson Rivef, have been sold by
R. l.. and w. G. Douglass to Mr..
Roscoe Wheeler, of California. The
price paid is said to be Is cents per ton.
There are about 400, 900 tons of tailings
in this deposit that were caught in a
large reservoir as they ran down Sixniile
Canyon years ago when the mills OH the
Comstock were in full blast The tail
ings were owned by Joe Douglass, Of
Virginia City, at the time of his death
and became a part of his estate They
are supposed. by sampling, to carry
about 81 per ton in values and a consid
cradle proportion of this value is in sill
YER Many tests have been made of the
tailings by different processes but SO far
nobody has succeeded in getting the
value out of the tailings at profit. Mr.
Wheeler has expressed himself as being
confident that he can extract the values
at a profit, but to do this it will be
necessary to construct a plant on the
river, close to the tailings reservoir, at a
cost of something like $50, 600 This. it
is asserted, will be done in the near
future

Is PROBABLY EXAGGERATED

There are reports abroad that there is
an epidemic of scarlet fever in Silver
City, Dayton and Gold Hill. Two deaths
have occurred in Silver City, both in the
family of d. ID. Davis, and one death in
Dayton. Reports say that there are
thirty cases of the disease in Silver CITY,
but this is probably an exaggeration.
So far as we can learn there are a few
cases, but they are well looked after,
both in that place and Dayton.

work OF. reclamation will be compare
lively easy, and it is expected to have
several thousand acres ready for cul-

Showing His Hand.

The Waterloo Tmes-Tribune is fer
mist the nomination of Col. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan would not sanction the appoint
ment of Wilbur Marsh as National COM
mitteeman. Rumor has it that Mr.
Marsh is principal stockholder in the
Times-Tribune Co.
The foregoing, from the Spencer
Herald, is an inkling of what we have
long known, that when the time came
for w. w. Marsh to show his hand he
would oppose the nomination of Bryan.
In spite of his professed love for Mr..
Bryan, in spite of the declaration of
the state convention, in spite of the
fact that Marsh circulated thousands of
Bryan buttons withhis advertisement on
the back, in spite of the fact that he SO
loved Bryan that he took along with
him a man whose evidence could not be
questioned to prove his change of heart
at Mr.. Bryan's own own hearthstone,
in spite of all these evidences of fealty,
w. w. Marsh has declared himself to
be feminist. -
We have known it all the time. Those
who have been swearing by Marsh,
those who have been vouching for him
through the press and by word of mouth,
will now have the trouble of explana-
tions. The man who twice bolted his
ticket cannot be said to have any tick
ct. The man who twice voted against
Bryan can be safely predicted to vote
against him again.
Marsh wanted to get on the National
committee merely to be in position to
throw the nomination away from Bryan.
Judge Wade has been sponsor for
Marsh and wrote letter to the mem
bers of the national committee guaran-
teeing his democracy and singlenesssof
purpose in the Bryan cause. Has
Marsh changed, or was he always that
way? Did the Judge know him then
and does he know him now? The only
safe man to put on guard is the man
who has been faithful always and under
all circumstances. Democrat Chroni-
icle.
