CRIMINALS ARE
VERY BAD men

The Carson News has the fol-
towing to say about the Nevada
State Prison:
Not only is the number the
greatest ever confined in the state
prison, but also the men are the
most desperate and hardened
criminals ever in Nevada. The
wonderful opportunities presented
in the state during the past sever
al years and the almost utter dis
regard for money attracted some
of the worst characters in the
country to the state and goodly
number finally landed in the
penitentiary. In spite of the un-
usual number in the prison, the
guard force remains the same as
when only seventy-eight convicts
were in the institution.

More Officers
Appointed

Because of numerous complaints
reaching the ears of sheriff Wyatt,
he visited Gardnerviile last Satur-
day to thoroughly investigate the
deplorable conditions existing be-
cause of the wholesale whiskey
traffic to Indians. By his visit he
acquired a far knowledge of the
common violation of the law that
has been going on for some months.
In order to put stop to it and rid
the community of several un-
desirable characters, he appointed
two new deputy sheriffs, one Of
which is to fill the Vacancy made
by the resignation of NJ. Christsn-
sen.
The following men now CON-
pose the the peace officers of Gard
nervills: A. w. Ramsay, special
policeman; Dave Jones, constable;
Chas. Schuman and Henry Bern
ing, deputy shsriffs.
During the week two men, a
Mexican and white mar.were given
"floaters" and told never Ito return,
An Indian named Charley Carter
was arrested for drunkenness and
disturb ance. He was taken before
Judge Ezell and was handed a
Christmas present of thirty
days. The Judge intended to give
the offender a present of larger
proportions, but upon the second
thought concluded to save it for
the next man.

Birthday Party at

Twenty-four invited guests as
sembled. at the home of Nj. and
Mrs. l.. Nelson last Saturday eve
ming to do honor at q party for
to their son, William. Miss Lena
Nelson acted as hostess who's a.
bility as an entertainer elicted

duced during the course Of the
evening, IA hat trimming contest
by the young men. Several of the
aspirants to millinery fame were
furnished eyeless needles and the
strenuous efforts that were made
by the young men to proceed with
their work was very laughable,
especially for the young ladies.
At twelve O'clock Will Nelson
and Miss Emma Hussman lead the
way 10 the dining room where the
illumination of may candles sub
dued by delicate red shades, re-
flected beautiful tint to the table
which was artistically decorated
with holly berries and evergreens.
At the conclusion of the sumptious
birthday supper, each guest was
requested to unroll an innocent
looking paper that reposed at the
side Of each plate and beginning at
at the head OF the table, to read
until all had finished. Each
roll was inscribed with humor-
little verse, touching upon tie
true idiosyncrasy of some person
at the table, and to say the leas

Big BARN BURNED
TO The GROUND

Last Thursday morning about
half past one o'clo ock the big barn
belonging to Commissioner Fred
Schacht who lives few miles east
of Genoa, was discovered TO be on
fire and no possible chance remain
ing to save it from destruction. By
the time Mr.. Schacht was aroused
from his sleep, the flames had eaten
their way to all parts of the large
structure and the strong wind
aided them in their mission OF
destruction. Mr.. Schacht's first
effort was directed toward saving
the horses that were stabbed in one
part Of the barn. By this time the
flames had reached this part OF the
barn and the work proceeded un-
der great difficulty because OF the
extreme heat and before the work Of
rescuing the animals had been
completed, they were forced to
abandon their efforts and five big
work horses we're crematsd. Two
Of the animals belonged to P. Heit-
man and three to Schacht.
Just how the fire started will never
be positively know, but the theory
that spontaneous combustion, caus-
ed by storing uncured alfalfa in
the barn seems to be the most
practical. However, Mr.. Schscht
discredits the belief and 10 of the
opinion that the confiagation had
different origin.
The flames leaped from the barn
to nearby haystack and because
of the terrific wind storm that was
blowing at the time, the residence
WAS in immediate danger and the
Gardnerville fire engine and hose
cart were dispatched post haste to
the Schcht ranch.
The barn was insured for $500
and the total loss is estimated by
Mr.. Schacht to be in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000.

Merry Christmas
to Our leaders

Ere another issue OF the Record
Courier reaches its readers, Christ
mas will have come and gone. We
therefore take this opportunity IT
wishing our readers merry, merry
Christmas. To those who live ut
distance we will say that a big sill
yer cloud Of happiness hangs over
our littlelvAllsy; that the year has
been one of the most prosperous
ever recorded in the annals OF farm
ing in our state. The laborer has
received better wages for his toll
than ever before and il his family
does not enjoy a happy Christmas
it 10 not the fault OF Carson Valley.
The farmers and stock rsissrs
have received unhsard Of prices for
their produce. At least not since the
days of the boom on tho Com stock.
The store keepers have experienced
one Of the most prosperous years
since their existance. The recls-
nation of arid land is slowly but
steadily expanding and it will be
but fnw years before the whole OF
C ,rson Valley will be the queen
agricultural district Of Nevada, il
not the entire coast. But We must
have the assistance Of the govern
ment in building large storage
reservoirs on the head waters of the
Carson river to accomplish the rec
lamation of the arid land Of the
Valley. The mining. industry is
looking brighter than it has ever
before and old Douglas will yet
rank with the banner mineral
counties of the state. To our rsad-
ers 1T home ws also wish merry
Christmas, knowing that the year
that is swiftly drawing to close,
it one Of the most prosperous EVER
experienced by you and that you
are fortunate to be living in Car
son Valley, paradise OF peace
and plenty.

The GOLdHeId
Situation

George Hussman arrived from
Goldfeld Wednesday and has a.
gain taken up his permanent resi-
dence in this Valley. On the first
of the year he will take charge of
the Hussman ranch.
From his personal observance
he does not believe that the Gold
field trouble will result in blood
shed, but states that had it not
been for the appearance of United
States troops prior to the time of
opening the mines on a union
scale, bloodshed would have GER
tainly been the result in the clash
between strike breakers and union
miners. The appearance OF troops
however, put different blend to
the situation. 1t is stated that a
small detachment of soldiers will
be stationed at Goldfield for sew
eral months to come.
The effects of the retardment OF
the mining industry at Goldfeld
is beeing keenly felt by the business
men of that place and unless u
bright star appears on the horizon
of Goldfield's future before many
days have elapsed, many will he
compelled to face financial des-
truction.

Must be Bridged.

The south fork of jackson creek,
beyond the Zella mine, should be
provided with a substantial wagon
bridge without delay. The necessity
of structure of this character was
demonstrated very foIcibIy this week
during the flood period. For over an
entire day communication was shut
off. The spring wagon was unable to
make the trip from Electra Monday
and Tuesday. The corporation owning
this plant Is by far the heaviest tax
payer in the county, and for that
reason is entitled to great considera-
tion at the hands of the local author
tiles. Besides, the population south
of the creek is greatly hampered by
inability to reach town. The situa-
tion should be corrected without
further delay by the erection of a
good wagon bridge.

Costumes Bridge Washed Away.

A telegraphio dispatch Tuesday
morning from A. McWayne of Dry
town, says that over 400 feet of the
Costumes bridge, between Drytown
and Latrobe was washed way during
the high water Monday night. This
was a combination steel and wood
bridge, very expensive affair. The
steel portion was on the Amador side.
We presume 400 feet will take about
the entire structure. The bridge was
built jointly by Amador and FL
Dorado counties about 10 or y years
ago. Experts say that the structure
was built too low. the water way
being insufficient. The food of Mon
day, it is thought reached the level
of the bridge, and swept it down. 1t
will take fully $4,000 to restore this
bridge. 1t is on the line of main
travel between Plymouth, Drytown
and Latrobe. 1t is an absolute
necessity to traffic, and of course
must be replaced as soon as possible.
All freight from the railroad to the
northern portion of Amador passes
that way. 1t is serious disaster fol-
the trade of that section.

A Pioneer Lady Dies.

Mrs Nettie Schober died suddenly
at her home in jackson near the
Good Hope mine, on Wednesday
evening. She had been in feeble
health from advanced age, for long
time, but arose Wednesday morning
feeling as we'll as usual. During the
morning she complained of pain in
the chest, ana took to her bed. AS
her daughter Mrs Josephine Harvey,
and grandson Ross Moon, we're par
taking cf supper about SIX O'Clock,
they hear.a noise proceeding from
Mrs Schober's bedroom, and upon
going to ascertain the cause found
her in a dying condition. Before
medical aid could be summoned she
had passed from lite to death.
Deceased was one of the pioneer
ladies in this section. She came with
from Ecuador, South America, in the
early days of the gold excitement,
first settling in Sacramento. They
shortly afterwards moved to jackson,
where she married Fred Schober, who
conducted large and prosperous
butcher business in this town for
many years. He died over twenty
years ago, on the old homestead in
the Shober ranch. Mrs Shober has
been there ever since, attended most
OF the time by her daughter, Mrs
Harvey. For the last twenty years
her sight has failed her, and for sew
eral years had been totally blind.
She was of kindly, gener Gus
nature, and esteemed by all who knew
her. She leaves one son A. Bouter-
ious, who is in the butcher business
in Oakland, and her daughter Mrs
Harvey, besides several grandchildren.
The funeral will take place next
NJ Monday. Ibis is to enable her son.
from Oakland to get here, and also
possibly a grandson, Louis Moon
from Arizona.

MINING NOTES.

Parties representing the Seiby
smelling works have taken an option
on the copper mine at t'inks ranch,
three miles west OF town. The place
is now owned by the johnson Bros.
There Is strong deposit of copper OH
the property, and the ore is supposed
to carry other values. Big capitalists
represented by the Selby works are
alleged to be behind the option.
They have the privilege of working
the property to ascertain Its value
before paying the purchase price. A
representative of the purchasers was
in jackson recently, and attorney A.
Caminettl is making out the necessary
papers covering the agreement. Ac-
cording to reports, there are other
copper properties in the same vicinity
that are being looked after
About three quarters of the time. the
Ielia engine is required for the hoist
ing of water. The mill has been
running TO its full capacity for the
week so tar, but any increased flow of
water will probably cause some of the
stamps to be hung up temporarily.
The machinery for the repair of the
broken compI essoI at the Keystone
arrived last Friday, and no time was
lost in getting the same in place.
Probably the mine Will be again in
full activity ere these lines are read.
David Fisher, who has been operst7.
ing the Edinburg mine, near Clinton
for some time, started for San Fran
cisco Thursday morning. He is work
ing to get party of capitalists to
take hold of the property and develop
1t in thorough manner. The meet
Ing of the stockholders was to have
been held in the city last Wednesday,
but owing to the storms, he was
unable to get there at that time.
The mines are beginning to exper-
Ience the effects of the recent rains.
The Zeila mill had to suspend last
night, owing to lack of rock. 1t
keeps the tanks busy the entire time
hoisting water. In few days, with
fine weather, the flow of water will
decrease, and the mill will again
resume.
The supply of fuel oil at the Ken
nedy is running very low. The de-
moralization of the traffic on the
main lines mades it dubious whether
they can get enough oil to tide over
the emergency.
Some of the men at the Argonaut
were laid off this week, owing to
cave in one of the Slopes.

wounds we're attended to surgicaIly,
and he resumed work at the Zeila

him, discharging all the time, and
refusing to heal. Last week he was
received into the Sierra Sanitarium,
where he was again operated upon to
discover the cause of the suppuration.
A jaw tooth, entire, was extracted
from his tongue, and also a portion
OF bullet from his jaw. lie is gett-
