But have merely remarks to make
OF the wind that the southland hands lis
That rip-roaring, dust soaring
Dry EN- up and blow away
That red not wind from Kansas
It's as early June that hot simeon
And sometimes as late as September:
II you thing it's missed us you think too soon
For it never fails to remember
There's seldom a summer that rolls away
But the wind from the southland fans us,
That sand-bagging bully-ragging
Knock EN- down and pick 'em up
That red hot wind from Kansas
Did you ever stand on the blistering sand
At the mouth of frey furnace
And breathe in flames that scorch the hand
And feel like they surely would burn us?
II you've gone through this you'll understand
How the wind from the south humans US
That heatseehng, famebreathing.
Scorch the whiskers off your face
That red hot wind from Kansas.
Before sunrise, to avoid the flies
The cowboy milks the cattle
Then hooks the team to the of cream
And away to town they rattle.
But when night time comes every cows gone dry
From the wind that the southland hands us
That renegade, eyaporating,
Milk COW and dry her up
That red hot wind from Kansas.
The housewife robs the corn from cobs
And spreads on a board to dry it,
The south wind comes and witheTs il to crumbs
Till there's scarcely taste to try it.
Then the housewife speaks with ire in her cheek
That the wind blows simply scandlus,"
That corn baking, window shaking
Blow the shingles off the roof
That red hot wind from Kansas
The school ma'am joys in her prettiest toys
Along the walk nclining
The rude men gaze for the wind to raise
The cloud with a silver lining.
And they get their wish with a sudden swish
OF the wind that the southland hands us,
That face brOler, curl spoiler
PettcOat discOmftter,
That red hot wind from Kansas.

in pleasure and recreation, for
getting the cares Of life and living
only :for the happiness that tho

ring march by Sousa's band to a
song by the sweet voice of Richard
Jose, helped wonderful 10 entertain
the assembled throng. Lemonade,
ice cream, cake, sandwiches, etc.

and did it well and from all re-
ports have the hearty appreciation
of all who attended the picnic.

Experts Claim That All
Indications Point
TO Oil.

During th- part few weeks much
exeii~,u-nt has resulted over the
promising Indications of oil that
has bern discovered in Smith Val
ley noliee OF which was first print
ed in this paper some week ago.
The excitement has attracted
the attention of many and now IA
good sized rush il on. People sre
arriving in the district daily and
much land ha- been taken up.
Different locators have taken
samples uf the shale ard oil sand
and Gent il below to be tested and
in each instance the best Of reports
have been returned. Near Hines
hot springs flow Of natural gas
was found, small excavation
made and covered with piece Of
sheet iron punctured with few
small holes and all the convenien-
ces Of 4 modern gas range was
thus provised. They have since
been cooking meals over the na,ur-
al gas flame.
Experts from different localities
are among those who are Hooking
10 the new oil fields and state that
the indications are extremely
favorable. The discovery was
first made by Smith Valley people
who have taken up large number
of claims in the district. Different
ones have followed and now the
entire country is located.
From reports received this week
il stated that at least two com
pani-s have been organized and
expect To have oil rigs on the
ground before many weeks roll by.
1t has been known for years that
splendid indications for oil existed
in Smith Valley, just as 1t was
known that oil springs existed on
the Island in Mono Lake where
almost pure oil ooze to the surface
of the ground. Since the work at
Mono Lake started the oil dis
coyeries in Smith Valley have
been revived.

A CALIFORNIA
GRAFT EXPOSED

The latest California swindle is
that of = concern that deals in
school teachers. The usual way
was Tor some eminently qualified
teacher in California to secure
positions in different parts of the
state, IA short time before the
school was to convene the trustees
were Informed that the appointee
could not serve and offered to send
a Substitute who was most always
accepted by the trustees: The
substitute was compelled to pay to
the grating association which the
qualified California teacher repre-
sented the sum Of $50 to $40 in
order to get the recommendation
as substitute.
A large number applications un-
uoT Ltlc Il&IIlS III odulc ID. MIlIe
were sent out. Miss Mills is a
teacher Of excellent reputation and
insists that she did not make ap-
plication for Nevada schools, and
that they were made without her
knowledge or consent. The same
plan was persued last year by the
cooperative association under the
name Of Anna A.. Kennedy, and to
fill the positions the association
advertised in the San Francisco
papers for SO teachers for Nevada,
stating in the advertisement that
no certificate was required.
According to the Eureka Sentinel
the postal authorities have bee n
asked to make an investigation
of the matter on the ground OF
using the United States mail
to defraud.

Pine Nut Consolidated
Company Making
Good Progress.

For the past few weeks little has
been heard Of the work being done
at the Pine Nut Consolidated COM
pany's mine, which is under the
management of G. w. Emigh. A
crew Of or s men have been con-
tinually at work on the property,
opening up new bodies of ore, ex-
tending the main tunnel near the
big ledge that gives good values on
the surface, some eighty feet above
the level OF the tunnel. In driving
for this body of ore, several feeders
we're cut and give fair values.
With depth ali ledges SO far cut,
gives increased values ard eviden-
ce that al depth they join, thus
forming one mammoth ore body.
At the lowest shaft and where the
richest ore has been encountered,
water sufficiently for milling pur-
poses has been developed. A 81
stamp mill has been hauled to the
ground and will soon be in the
course Of erection and within
thirty days stamps will be drop
pingg on $40 ore. About so tons
are on the dump and several hun
dred more are in sight in the mine.
As soon as the little mill is started
up the mine will be made self-sup-
porting and aid in the develop
ment.
Since the company was organic
ed, a few months ago, nearly
$4,000 have been expended de-
veloping this property. The men
working in the mine have accepted
half of their wages in stock, and
certainly proves that they have
confidence in the proposition.
