CLIMBING PEAKS
OF THE DOLOMITEs
How They Were Conquered To BE
Shown in Howe's Lifeorama
Thursday Night.

The most weird and spectacular
mountain peaks in the world were
conquered few months ago for the
first time. They are the Dalamites
in the northern Italian Tyrol. How
they were conquered forms one OF
the most interesting features of Ly-
man H. Howe's Lifeorama to be
seen in clarksburg on Thursday, Jan
81. Switzerland seems time in com
parison with the great shattered
mountains OF solid rock shown in
this feature. In shape they violate
all ideas of what mountains should
be. They seem as though part OF
another world. or like some colossal
castles nature has built above the
clouds. 1t has always been regard
ed utterly impossible to ascend them
even though climbers had nothing
to look after but themselves. But
to secure these scenes the climbers
had to care for the equipment
necessary to reproduce them as well
as caring for themselves while fac
ing the same great perils that detied
and defeated all others. To sue
coed. handicapped as they were,
where all others, without such dis /
advantages, had failed, intensifes
the amazement at the triumph. The
pluck. courage and ingenuity dis
played Is thrilling and sensational fl
the extreme. At times they are
shown fairly hanging over vast
depths. Again they are seen cling
ing to perpendicular walls OF solid |
rock with only few precar,ous
inches between them and instant
death below. A misstep, dizziness.
or false hold would be fatal At
every moment of tn ehazardous ven
ture. The fearful risks taken hold
the spectator with breathIess iuter-
est and the Wild grandeur Of the
scenery bewilders the mind.

STROSNIDER WINS
COMMISSIONERSHIP

By decision of the Supreme Court in
Carson, last week Thursday, 1. A. Stro-
snider, of Mason Valley, has been de-
clared elected County Commissioner of
Lyon county for the Smith Valley and
Plummer districts, instead of c. c. Turn
er, who was declared elected by the
Board of County Commissioners at the
last election. The election of Turner
has been contested by Mr.. Strosnider
since the certificate of election was given
to Turner in November last.
When the votes of the last election
were counted the Commissioners refused
to canvass the vote of Churchill precinct,
and in this way elected Turner by two
votes. Counting the Churchill precinct
Mr.. Strosnider is elected by three votes.
The Supreme Court has denied the
writ of prohibition asked for by Turner,
and in doing this allowed Judge Langan
to count the votes of Churchill precinct,
which will elect Mr.. Strosnider.

The company is locating townsite

Ludwig mine and has christened the new
town Ludwig, in honor of the mine of
that name. The conditions for a mining
town are ideal. The townsite is located
five miles from Kinds Hot Springs.
There is plenty of water in the camp.
The agricultural conditions are excel
lent. The company intends to erect a
modern hotel, and the general store will
be modern in all its appointments.
Ludwig is part of West Yerington

OPERATE
IN Pine GROVE

c. A. Barnett and E. W. Drummond, of
California, have purchased the old Saw
age mine at Pine Grove, and made To-
cation or two adjoining it. They have
also secured FIVE locations near the Cam
bridge group, which is now being oper-
ated by Drew, Buckley and Shields. The
property owned is gold-bearing, mainly,
but in the Pine Grove claims copper
shows to the extent of ga per cent.
Mr.. Barnett, whose home is in Sacra-
mento, has been here for about a week,
and he and Mr. Drummond are making
arrangements to organize company to
operate their property.
A 5-sta:np mill is to be erected to work
the ore from the Pine Grove claims, and
a contract will soon be let to run a 500
foot tunnel on the east side prop
erty. This will be under the superin-
tendency of F. P. Jaquette, who is also
interested in the property. The new
company will be organized and doing
business within a few weeks from this
date.

great mining excitement in Wellington,
occasioned by the finding of large cop
bearing ledge on the hills east of the
Fallon ranch, in Smith Valley. Fat Fal-

from all accounts has found a great
thing. The find is in section that has
been daily travelled over for years, and
it is wonder that it has not been discov-

PICK UP GOOD GROUND

G. B. Rymal and j. w. Chocolate, a
couple of prospectors who came into this
district last Fall to make run on Res
ervation ground have for the past few
r=snths been digging around on the west
side of the district. They made some
locations in the copper belt in Sand Can
yon on the 9th day of January last, and
last week they sold IL of these claims to
George Pringle and associates for the
neat sum of $1,000. A substantial pay
ment was made down and the balance of
the price is to be paid in so days. The
claims join the Western Nevada Co. s
ground on the south, and on four claims
some excellent showings of ore have
been obtained at little depth from the
surface. Messrs. Ryrnal and Chocolate
have 10 more claims in this vicinity that
look good and are in good location.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
