Still RUSHING
To new SECTION

The boom in the Jessup district
continues 70 go on undated, and the
town and district are rapidly assum-
ing the proportions of old timers, .
said ]. ]. Mackedon, the mining man,
yesterday. at is remarkable the
way the people are fiocking in and
if the rush keeps up, and there is no
doubt but what it will, it will not
be many weeks before White Can
yon will rival the great camp of Raw
hide.
Tuesday of this week the autos
and stages were loaded to their full
capacity. twenty-five having gone in.
Wednesday there were twenty-eight
new arrivals. The majority of these
people are going in from Reno, Raw
hide and other Nevada towns-and
all are looking for investments eth
er in mining or in any kind of bust
ness, and while it is true some are
there just for the purpose of seeing,
most of them are preparing to stay
and will embark either in the min
ing, brokerage or commercial bust
ness
In speaking of the work being
done on the different mining claims,
Mr.. Mackeden said that active de-
velopment had been started and was
being vigorously prosecuted. On the
Hopkins property, which was sold
last week to Reno parties, two shifts
are at work sinking shaft ON the
big ledge. During the past week
considerable trenching was done on
the ground and thorough test was
made of the vein matter near the
surface. From ten samples taken,
$50 was the lowest assay returns OBJ
tanned. while some run as high as
$3.50. The management of this
property has announced it's intention
of losing no time in opening up the
ground and when the occasion re-
quires it, substantial machinery will
be installed which will greatly
facilitate in carrying out. the pro-
posed plans.

operating a lease on the Mabel B

of the Jessup-Murray property, are
running deep cut to determine the
pitch of the ledge cutting through
their ground. AS soon as this is
determined, a shaft viii be started.
In running the cut through the ledge
several rich stringers carrying free
gold have been opened up and the
owners are satisfied that with fur
Their depth they will open a bonanza.
Mr.. Mackedon stated that one
lease had been granted on the prop
erty owned by himself and George
Taylor, and that others were being
considered. The block of ground
leased is on the Gold King Gold, To-
Gated near the townsite. Trenching
is now under way and when a suit
able place is found shaft will be
sunk.
The first frame building for the
town of White Canyon was complet-
ed this week. The structure is COX
40 and will be used as offices by the
White Canyon Townsite company.
Lumber is now on the ground and
Reno parties who have recently be-
come interested will commence the
erection of $1,000 building which
will be occupied by saloon.
In conclusion Mr. Mackedon said
that the most encouraging reports
were coming in from all sections of
the district and that in a very short
time the Jessup district would be oc-
cupying position in the foremost
ranks of Nevada's biggest mining
camps. -Lovelock Tribune.

SEEKS DIVISION
OF MANS WEALTH

SEATTLE, Wash, March 26.-In
a suit in the Superior Court for the
partition of Seattle property valued
at over 100000, Lauretta G. Reed,
known in this city as Mrs. Lauretta
G. Van Deusen. alleges that B. r.
Van Deusen promised to wed her and
that he has violated his word and
that on March l Sth he married Miss
Mary Mckenzie. According to the
complaint, both the plaintiff and de-
fendant were married when they met
in San Francisco in 1897. The court
is told that they then agreed to live
together for the purpose of accumu-
lating property. and that after each
had obtained divorce, they would
wed.
The couple came to Seattle and
Van Deusen fell in love with Mary
Mckenzie. Mrs Reed states that by
threats of putting her into the peni-
tertiary and by promises to wed her,
after she had obtained divorce,
Van Duesen compelled her to sign a
property settlement, whereby Mrs.
Reed was given $500 in cash and
notes aggregating $4,000. Mrs. Reed
then asserts that Van Duesen, dis
regarding his promise to her, mar
ried Mary Mckenzie.

built five feet aboye the highest
water marks Of the year 1908.
These levees are 1000 feet apart
Zone on each side) along the Col
orado river, and 200 feet apart
along the ella river.
Because the lands are so Hat,
and the level Of the water in the
ground so near the surface, IL
was considered necessary, for
their permanent safe irrigation,
to supply drainage system a
main drainage canal has been de-
signed to run through the cen
trail portion Of the areas to be
irrigated, and when possible the
natural drainage lines OF the
country have been utilized, deep
ening them with stream dredger
to such depth that they will carry
off the water returning from r.
rigation or seeping through the
levees during the high water
stage of the river. When lands
in any district tend to become
alkaline they may be connected,
bv means of local drainage ca
nails. with this main drain, and
in this manner they can be kept
free from alkali by holding down
the level of the ground water.
During the greater portion Of the
wear. when the river is low, this
drainage water is discharged in
to the stream; but when the river
is in flood, it's elevation IS such
as to prevent The discharge into
it from the drains. A pumping
plant has, therefore, been de-
signed to lift the drainage water
from the levees during the food
period of the river to prevent
the lands becoming waterlogged.
The total cost of the works
will be about 50, 600, 900, but they
will irrigate 100000 acres all told
by means of 26 miles of main ca
nails and 1873 miles Of lateralS.
The most interesting feature,
however, from an engineering
point of view is the successful
control of stream whose volume
of water may rise and fall to the
extent of thirty feet in a week,
flowing through channel OF soft
silt which it has been accumuIa-
ting for centuries.

FUN IN THE HOME.

The home should be made the
iolliest place on earth for the
children. Don't be afraid of a
little fun at the family freside.
Don't let the boys think that all
mirth and social enjoyment IS
barred from the home, if you wish
to keep them away from places
that lead to vice and degradation.
Young people must have fun and
relaxation somewhere, and if
they do not find it in their home,
they will seek at other and less
desirable places. Parents should
not repress the buOyant spirits
of their children, but join in their
merriment around the home fire
side. The children will lose none
of their respect for their father
or mother if they occasionally
loosen their dignity" and take
part in the ch;ldren's fun and
sport. An evenings romp and
play with the young folks will
drive dull care away and dispel
the memory of many an annoy
ance of the day. Have fun at
home.

Col. Griffith j. Griffith Of Los
Angeles, who because of a deed
done when intoxicated, served
two years in the penitentiary at
San Quentin. He was a model
prisoner. He was ineXpresslbly
shocked at the cruelties Of our

viction, he resolved to devote his
ample means and talent to work

of prisoners, and he is doing 1t.
Notwithstanding his term IN

milton in influential quarters. He

FRENCH SPEAKS OUT
Says Telegram Received Yes
terday Referred to origi,
nal Lockout.
ClGARMAKERS ARE PUZZLED
They Don't Know Whether or Not In
tcrnational Body is Behind the
Local Union.

The cigarmakers, the manufacture
ers and the national organizer, G, r.
French, are all In tangle over tel
egram received yesterday from George
w. Perkins president OF the Interna-
tional Union of Clgarmakers, saying
that all the cigarmalers' unions in
the United States and Canada pledge
support to the men locked out In the
city. The cigarmakers take It to
mean that the international union is
behind the men in everything they do,
but the national organizer and the
manufacturers claim that It Is only
the formal award of benefits for the
time during which the men were LOCK-
ed out.
In discussing the matter last night
Mr., French said: THE telegram re-
ceived from Mr.. Perkins yesterday
was the official information to the To-
cal union that II had been awarded
benefits by the unions throughout the
United States and Canada for the
period during which they we're locked
out of the shops. AS soon as tho men
were locked out they applied for
financial aid, and the request had 10
be referred TO the locals. Tle vote
returned to national headquarters
and Mr.. Perkins informs the men here
of the action. These benefits were 10
continue pending an investigation by
myself and Mr. Preble. Wo looked
into the matter and found that the
manufacturers were In the right and
told the men to go back to work
They did not go back, but meanwhile
the unions all over the country had
acted on the first request. The reply
to the first request is. what arrived
| yesterday The support of the inter-
national union is only pledged for the
/ period of the investigation, and, this
being over, the men will receive no
benefits. Our decision was adverse.
and the international union will not
pay them benefits when they refuse 10
go back to work. The formal staie-
ment of this will come in about TWO
weeks, when all the locals have acted
on the report of Mr. preble ami my
self"
While yesterday afternoon the union
men in general believed that the tele-
gram meant that the international
union was behind them in whatever
they might do, last night some OF
them admitted that Mr.. French was
probably right They say however
that they do not believe the locals al
over the country will sustain Mr.
French and Mr.. Preble when the re-
lection of the proposition of return
to work was registered by such a large
majority.
