YECGMEN WORK AT
CARLIN

Last Saturday night burglars enter
ed the general merchandise store of
J. w. Pruett of Carhn and secured
beween $3.50 and 5000 worth of can
ned goods, tobacco, clothing and jew
elry. No clew was left but five yegg
men are suspicioned as they arrived
in town about thee days before and
the next morning when search was
made they were not to be found. Part
of the jewelry was picked up near the
railroad track in the easern part Of
town, where evidently it had been ac-
cidently dropped.
On the same night while three or
four men were sitting around their
camp fire near the Id Pruett ware
house, five men stepped up and or
dered all to throw up their hands. The
command was obeyed and the robbers
secured watch, pocket knife and a
few dollars for their trouble. Officers
believe that the men who committed
this act are the same who burglarized
the Pruett store.

LUCK IS COMING OUR
WAY AT LAST

Here is an enlivening news ite 4,
Just as we are about ready to close the
forms for this issue 1t is a report
from Reno that there is going to be
a cut in the price of beer in Nevada.
Down at Reno there is being con-
structed a big ice and storage plant,
and it is reported that purpose of this
plant that has large st. Louis brew
ing firm back of it, is to entrench
that firm so strongly that it may wage
warfare on all opposition firms, To-
cal and foreign, doing business in Ne
vada and either freeze them out or
force them to sell, or combine with the
st. Louis firm, which has national
reputation.
The plan of the st. Louis firm
seems to be to ship in large quantities
of beer, and to cut prices until its com
petitors are forced on of BUSINESS.

ager of the Western Smelter corpora
tion, organized in Carson City on April
6, has gone to New York to make ar

This smelter will be built on the

about forty years ago. The new
smelter will be as large as the smelt-
er at Ely, and the owners will com

The plant will be dependent of the

WILL HOLD WOOL FOR
BETTER PRICE

The sheepmen of Utah are prepar-
ing to hold their wool for a better
price, and, as a result mass meet
ing was held in Salt Lake City last
saturday. it was decided to ask all
the sheepmen in the State to ship
their wool to boston for storage and
growers that they would join the move
ment.
H. A. Thorley of Modena, Iron
county, wrote that he and others had
25o,O00 pounds that would be sent on
the first shipment; Anderson Bros.
more than that amount will come from
the Vernal district The circular let
ters were then sent out, including
the shipping directions and other in
formation.
Mr. Stewart received letter also
from g. S. Walker. secretary of the
National Wool Growers association,
from which the following is an ex-
tract:
~ have been watching closely what
you have been doing to handle the
1908 clip and | must say that you are
to be commended on what has been
ace omplished. | am satisfied that
storing of the wool and waiting for
a market is the proper thing to do.
Indeed there is nothing else that can
be done. Growers would be very fool
ish indeed to accept prices that are
not equal to the tariff on wool. | feel
confident that after the nominating
convention business viii begin to pick
up and by fall their will be mark
ct for your wool. -
Already, as well, offers from Eastern
brokers to aid in the sale of the stor
ed wool have been received and the
movement has created much interest
in Boston business circles.

IS STILL
AT LARGE
SHERIFF STILL ON TRAIL
OF jim TAYLOR, OUTLAW
James Edison, Injured Man. Continues
to Improve and is Now Allowed
to Sit Up.

No word has yet been received in
Winnemucca from the Little Humboldt
where Sheriff Lamb went last Monday
toget Jim Taylor, the outlaw. WHO is
wanted for the attempted murder of
James Edison. There are no wei de-
fined theories advanced as to wha. d.
rection Taylor will go to escape cap
ture 1T is believed that he will ~
into Oregon, and that he will keep
away from railroad towns. Living
alone as he has for the past two years
he has accusta.ncd himself to the ,if'
of hermit, and if captured, he will
probably be alone in s,me unfrequent
cd part of te country.
1t has been suggested that the st *
nlen of the section in which TavloI
worked. should offer reward fer his
capture and give due notice and
publicity of the same which would n,
doubt lead to his capture. 1t is point
ed out, that uy this means a bastard y
to shoot man down in cold
blood will be avenged. and that the
stooxmen themselves will profit IN the
long run by having Taylor behind the
bars. where he properly belongs.
Edison, who narrowly escaped with
life. is improving rapidly. At the
Stewart house, where he is stopping
he is sitting up today and laughs at
the incident that so nearly cost him
his life

United STATES MAY TAA
UNPATENTED CLAIMS

The United States Supreme Court has
decided that any state has the right
to collect taxes on an unpatented MIN
ing claim. The state further has the
right to seize an unpatented claim and
sell it to the highest bidder, giving
what is known as a tax title, says
the Mining Review.
The decisio mis- of great Importance
and will tend to settle innumerable
mining controversies 1t may even ef-
feet titles on homesteads, desert and
other forms of claims by which United
States property is sold to settlers.
The question came up in the suit
of George Eden. Samuel Mcmillan
Alice J Combie. Administrative of tho
estate of John Me Combie, and Others
against Tingeley s. Wood, Mary M
Rutland, Annie l.. Finnery and Cecelia
l. Wahrer. The suit was for posses
sion of one of the most valuable OF
the claims on the Comstock lode in
the Leadville district, in which mil
lions of dollars worth of ore is known
to be buried.
Tingley Wood bought tax It'll,
from the state before the patent had
been issued, and while the property
was technically United States proper
ty. While Wilhelma GUIDE, a widow
had inherited the property and had
not paid the taxes for she thought that
the taxes need not be paid until thu
patent was issued. After the state
had sold the property for taxes sh;
sold a quit claim deed to George X
Elder and the other claintiffs. Or
the question Of whether the state ear
seize for taxes property which is still
United States ground, and on the fur
ther one of whether the state has tn,
right to tax an unpatented claim al
all, the case was gought through tn,
district court at Leadville, through
the supreme court of Colorado and
finally through the highest court OF
of the United States.
The supreme court said that the
state did have the right to tax Al
unpatented land claim and to confis
cate in case of failure to pay taxes
and held Mr.. Wood's title as good
one. The plaintiffs appealed TO tn,
United States supreme court on tn,
basis that the property at stake wa
United States property and the Colo
RADIO courts ruling was upheld in it'
full.

BRIDGEPORT SEEKS PERSONS

He is "Thrice Cursed Satellite of
Her,' Says the Bridgeport
Chronicle.

vigorous hunt is being made for
the person responsible for the incen-
diary fire by which large part of the
business section of the town of Bridge
port, Mono county, Cal, was destroyed.
last week. On two previous occasions
.attempts have been made to destroy
bridgeport by fire, but both times it
failed because of the early discovery
of the blaze. The person who started
the former fires is well known to the
Bridgeport people and it is thought
that he may have had something to do
with the last fire.
Editor Montrose of the Bridgeport
Chronicle Union, has aroused consid-
erable comment by his plea for the
lynching of the man guilty of start
the fire. IA portion of his article de-
clares that rope is in readiness and
that although there is not enough evi-
dence yet to justify calling a Coron-

called soon. The following appears in
