BIG TUNNEL COMPLETED.

The first section Of the $70000,o0a
system of tunnels connecting New Jer.
sey with New York was completed
and opened February 25, and the April
number of popular Mechanics, con-
.ans some views and description of
the tube. 1t says:
The two tubes of the tunnel are sep
arated by a thick wall, each being an
individual cylinder. The trains as they
rush through act as pistons and draw
in with them fresh air from the ssa.
tions.
The cars are of new type and are
constructed of steel, with concrete
floors. They have big doors at each
end and one at either side, all con.
trolled by compressed air. The motor.
man cannot start the train until he re-
eeves flash signal from the guard,
and the flash signal cannot be sent
until every door and every window in
all OF the ears have been completely
closed, nsuring safety to passengers,

300 TONS OF HAY
BURNED

A fire on the Grayson ranch, two
miles north of Willow Point station
last Tuesday night destroyed about
800 tons of hay. The fire occurred at
the stock yards about quarter of a
mile below the house and destroyed
all the hay in the yards, consisting of
three big stacks, with about 100 tons
of hay in each stack.
The origin of the fire has not been
discovered. The last time any person
was at the stock yard previous to the
fire was on Monday morning. when
load hay was hauled from there.
1t is surmised that cigarette stump
was dropped in the yard, and this
smouldered until it was famed into II
blaze by the wind which sprang up on
Tuesday afternoon.
The wind on Tuesday afternoon was
blowing strong and it is regarded as
fortunate by those who witnessed the
fire that the flames did not catch the
dry grass in the meadow and be driven
over a very large territory, doing per-
haps other damage.

BODY OF OLD VANQUEAsO
FOUND IN THE RIVER

Late Monday afternoon the badly
decomposed remains of Juan Barreras,
an old Mexican vanquero was found
floating in the Humboldt river, about
a quarter of mile below the bridge
by negro grader. The finding of the
body of Barreras clears up the mystery
of his disappearance since the 8th of
last month.
The condition of the remains, being
free from any marks of violence and
the fact that the dead man just prior
to his disappearance was in a very
melancholy frame of mind, led those
who investigated his death to believe
that he had committed suicide. He
was suffering from a bad cold and
was unwell when he disappeared.
Barreras was an old timer in this
section, and was famous in other days
as skilled vanquero. He had lived
in this section of the counry for over
thirty years and had been employed by
many of the stock raisers in northern
Nevada He belonged to the old type
of vanqueros, those who delighted in
silver bits and spurs and gaudy saddle
trimmings.
Barreras formerly conducted bit
making shop, from which he gained the
nickname of Juan, the bit maker. =

WAITING FOR THE
INSPECTOR

John Mentaberry, bringing band
of sheep from the lower stretches of
Pleasant Valley and taking them to
the grazing lands near Disaster Peak
fell in with a predicament in Winnie
mucca which caused him some incon
venience.
This resulted from state law re-
garding the dipping of sheep which
reeites that sheep removed from win
ter to a summer range must be dip
ped, and inspected after dipping, by
regular sheep inspector. and if there
is any signs of scab the sheep must
be redipped.
When Manteberry got to Winnemuc
ca he expected to meet an Inspector
here, have his sheep inspected and
then drive them on up into the Dis
sister Peak country His sheep have
been dipped in accordance with tbs
state law, but there w& no inspector
here, SO he was forced to hold the
sheep while kilograms were sent to
locate an inspector.

SNOW FALL LESS THIS
YEAR THAN LAST

According to the snow fall bulletin
OF the United States department of
agriculture for 1907 and 1908, the
snow fall in the Eierra Nevada noun
tains has been less this year than last
year and there is no great danger of
floods occurring this year. The weather
report states that in all probability
the water supply will be considerably
less than in former years and during
the spring and summer of last year.
Following is the report relating to this
part of Nevada.
While the amount of snow on the
mountins increased generally during
February it is less than the usual
amount and much less than the amount
for the corresponding date last year
Over the Truckee and Carson river ba
sins the conditions are the poorest.
while over the remainder of the state
they are somewhat better. The Hum
boldt and Walker river drainage ba-
sins have the better prospect. The
weather during March. will of course,
have a considerable influence in de
termining the amount of water but
the outlook now is for a smaller fall
than during previous seasons 1t is
reasonably sure that it will be con-
sideraby less than the usual flow of
last season.

soon took the fight out of Snyder
Round one of the fight was fast. The
men came to the center of the ring
and after a few moments o. spar
ring Snyder landed light right and
left hook. King retaliated with TIVE
hard rights to Snyder's neck King
rushed Snyder and avoided his leads
by clean ducking. and then landed a
ligt right to the solar plexux, which
was followed by hard right to the
chin, which floored Snyder.
Round two. Men got busy as soon as
gong sounded King rushed Snyder into
the corner but the latter got away
by clever side stepping. This was
followed by fierce rally in the cen
ter of the ring and Kink shot three
terrific rights TO his opponent, she'd
ding the light blows given in return
like duck does water, and with ter
rifle right to the jaw sent Snyder to
the land of dreams.
