PASSES AWAY

Edwin Babcock, a native of Con-

county hospital, September 18th
from liability and old age.
Deceased was well known
figure in the early days of Nevada
He came to Nevada in 1861 and
conducted freighting outfit from
Sacramento to Virginia City. A
few years later he purchased the
Ashland House on the divide de-
tween Gold Hill and the Comstock
The venture was successful one
and the owner cleaned up quite a
fortune, which later went into un-
profitable mining schemes. He
served one term in the Nevada
assembly, but we do not know
which county be represented. He
lived in California for five years
previous to coming to Nevada and
taught school there. He was of
rare intelligence and was well
schooled. As old age overlook him
he was stricken with palsy and
was prevented from earning his
own livelihood.
1t seems that his family had
owned an interest in a plank road
near the old homestead which was
finally taken up by the county
and he received 5000 as his in
terest and while the money lasted
he paid his way but during the
past few years had been charge
of the county. A niece, who had
a kindly feeling for the old man,
sent a sum of money to county
clerk Jepsen few years ago with
the instruction to give him de-
cent burial when the end came.
Her reqest was followed out to the
letter. The funeral services we're
held from the Genoa church last
Saturday afternoon. The inter
ment took place in the Genoa
cemetery and strictly honest up
right man was laid to his final
rest.

NEARING COMPLETION

The work of erecting the stamp
mill on the property of the Pine
Nut Consolidated company has
been progressing rapidly and now
the stamps are in readiness for the
initial run. The boiler, engine
and other machiney has been set
in place and the mill building is
now under way. The pump which
will lift the water from the shaft
will probably be installed next
week and before the month of
October is gone the stockholders
will know the real worth of the
property in which they have in
vested their savings. The ones
who have failed to invest in the
property, we fear, will be ones who
will wear the sad expression.

Joined IN marriage by Rev. Menzel.
The contracting parties were Mrs.
Emma Tucke and Arthur Brock

train for California on a wedding
trip.
The bride is well and favorably
known in this Valley, having re-
sided here since childhood and is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II.
Bruins.
The groom is one of the Brock
brothers, and is a well known and
respected citizen. For the past
several years he has conducted a
hotel at Sheridan. Upon their re-
turn from the coast they will take
up their permanent residence at
Sheridan.

DRY FARMING

From actual experiments carried
on in Elko county for the past two
years, it has been satisfactorily
demonstrated that dry-farming can
he carried on in that locality and
will be the means of retaining
much heretofore worthless land in
that locality. Some 1876 sacks of
grain was harvested from 96 acres
of land. While this method of
producing crops without irrigation
in semi-arid districts seem hardly
practical to the average farmer,
vet large aeras of land in several
western states produce big crops of
hay and grain without water.
The climatcal conditions of Elko
county differ very little with those
of his Valley. What will work
in one section may do the same
in another. However, the oppor-
tunities for an experiment along
the lines of dry farming in this
Valley are numerous and possibly
an experiment would open up a
new epoch in the cultivation of
land in this Valley. 1t is surely
worth try.

II. A. N. Todd Heads
Tickot Which is a
Strong One.

Last Tuesday old Genoa, the
mother town of Nevada, assumed
an extraordinary busy appearance
at which time the Democratic Con-
vention of this county was held for
the purpose of placing in nomina-
ton for the several county officers
members of their own political
faith.
The proceedings Of the convention
were entirely free from battle and
each candidate was nominated by
acclamation. No ticket was slated
and it was a case OF where the
office seeked the candidate, but be-
ing once nominated the candidates
entered the fight with determina-
ton to win. Nearly the entire de-
legation was represented in person,
and but few proxies were in evil
dence.
At the mention of the name OF
their peerless leader, w. ]. Bryan,
the convention went into wild ap-
plause, having as much faith in
him now as they had during his
two previous attempts to reach the
highest office within the gift of the
American people.
As was the case with the Re-
publicans, several offices were
passed by the Democrats. The
Sheriff and District Attorney was
passed while their opponents left
the Recordership vacant and Civ
ing at least two candidates clear
sailing.
The delegates concluded their
labors late in the afternoon and
with a mighty cheer for their
ticket from top to bottom the con-
vention for the year 1908 passed
into history.
