Some Cold Weather

The coolest weather experienced in
this part of the country for many a
moon was last Friday night when the
thermometer at the government ex-
perimental station south of Fallon regis
tered two degrees below zero and the
night previous it registered one degree
below. For the past week it has been
around the zero mark and the result
was the plumber reaped harvest in
repairing water pipes, engines, water
tanks and many other things that were
frozen by the extreme cold weather.
The large water tank of w. w. San
ford was frozen up and it was
found necessary to cut hole in the
lower part of the tank to let the water
out, which flooded the yard back of the
law office of VIM. S. Wall who has laid
aside his legal duties and procured a
pair of skates and could be found cut
ting fancy figures. He tried to cut a
figure 8, but only got as fan as when
he fell down. He succeeded very well
in making stars and patterns for a
crazy quilt.

Death OF Geo. h. Kendall.

Geo. II. Kendall. better known
around Fallen as Scott" died Tues
day morning. December 22nd, at l:3O
o'clock of quick consumption. He was
about 30 years old. The deceased was
well known by large number of Fall
Ion people and a characteristic of his
was jolly word and a smile for every
one he met. For several months he
had been in the employ of Coffin &
Gruber at Hazen and contracted a
heavy cold that resulted in the dread
disease that caused his death. He
came over to Fallon about 4 weeks ago
whore he could get the best of medical
attention and since that time he has
not left his room.
Mr.. Kendall has a mother sister,
and brother living at Chelsea, Mass,
a suburb of Boston, who were unable
to come to Fallon during his sickness.
1t was the intention of the people who
looked after him to send his body back
to his relatives for burial but arrange
ments could not be made.
The funeral will take place on Satur-
day afternoon and the remains will
be inferred in the Eagle plot in the
cemetary.

PLEASANT FAMILY REUNION
Last Friday of the Children of
the Late w. c.. Williams at
Home of w. II. Williams

Last Friday at the homo of w. H.

family, this being the first time in
twelve years that all of the children OF
the late A. S. Williams had rassembled
together.
The following are the ones present:

WHO WILL Be SPEAKER?
Is the Question Asked Among
the Legislators. Hon. Lem
Allen Should Be

The political struggle is on again as
to who will be the Speaker of the next
Assembly. At this time there are
three candidates who are considered
the most important and active in the
raee-Hon. Ex- Lieut.. Governor Lem
Allen, of Chorchill J. B. Gifin, of
Nye, and Frank Folsom, of Washoe.
The Reno and Carson City papers
figure the dope that at the present time
Allen has 6 votes, Giflin IL and Folsom
l3, with Gifiin in the lead. Not say
that Giffin and Folsom are not capable
of filling the position, but, why should
we place at the head of the Lower
House a man who has not had the ex-
perienee, or one who has not been sat
isfactory in previous session? Mr..
Allen has been in that position both in
the Senate and the Assembly and has
served with firm hand and satsfact-
ory to all, as shown by his record.
The six votes Mr.. Allen has will stay
with him to the very last and if the
strife is so great that compromise is
necessary, he might be able to secure
eleven more and swing the nomination
in the Democratic caucus his way Or
if he can't secure enough to be elected
he can dictate who will be the Speaker.
1t is reported that Governor Dickerson
is in favor of Assemblyman Giffin.
1t is not necessary to say that Mr..
Allen is the only candidate in the race
who is thoroughly qualified to fill this
position. If either of the other gentle
men is elected, mark our prediction
that Mr.. Allen will be called on many
a time to decide points for the Speaker.

NEVADA HILLS IN LIMELIGHT
Recent Developments in Fair
view Bonanza Bringing This
Stock Into Prominence.

That Nevada Hills stock will be
dragged from its retirement and pushed
into the limelight before many weeks
Is the conclusion arrived at by Good
wins Weekly, based on gossip from
Fairview. Gold is said to be appearing
in larger and larger quantities in the
shoot lately opened at the 300-foot lev
ell and the sulphide character of the ore
is hailed as a guarantee of permanent
cy. The one thing needed by the Ne
vada Hills to put it in the front rank
of substantial mining offerings is
demonstration by means of a 500 or
1,000-toot shaft that the ore bodies go
down to considerable depth.
Fairview is Wonders senior by
year. In the former camp the Nevada
Hills ground has received the most de-
velopment, and has paid large divi-
dends, yet there are other good proper
ties in Fairview district which, with
the same development, may prove to
be just as rich as the Nevada Hills.
Recent reports indicate that several
Fairview properties will resume devel-
opment work around the first of the
year.
Wonder in many respects is dupli-
cate of Fairview, and this is not re-
markable as the two camps are but
sixteen miles apart. In the lower
depths on the Nevada Hills, and from
the surface down to the 500-foot level
of the Nevada Wonder, it has been
demonstrated by careful assays that
the ore yields in values just about as
much in gold as in silver. This is a
most encouraging disclosure in the
face of the present price of silver, and
should warrant all mine owners in
Fairview and Wonder district whose
assays have run only one-third gold
and two-thirds silver to resume devel-
opment work at once and dig down in
to ores that should yield in values half
and half of the white and yellow met

Christmas Time, Present and Past

Before We issue another STANDARD,
Christmas, 1908, viii be past and new
year drawing nearer. Since last Christ
mas the country has passed through a
period of great Financial depression
unequaled by any since the panic of '93.
All of us had Merry Christmas a
year ago during the beginning of these
hard times and we have more reasons
to have Merrier Christmas this year,
for the passing of the se-called hard
times has begun and we have every
reason to hope and believe that a new
era of activity and prosperity is begin
ming and is perceptibe to the people
OF this country. Nevada is conscious
OF the change as well as Fallon, and the
New Year will see the resumption of
much old work and the Inauguration of
much that is new.
We are confident of the return of
good times again in the near future
and it is an expression of no mere plati-
tVde when we wish our readers and
friends Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year

Sues Company for Insurance

A suit arising out Of the. fire which
destroyed the entire town of Hazen on
the 23rd of last August was filed last
week in the district court by the Hazen
Lumber Company against the Spring
Garden Insurance Company.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the Hazen Lumber Company owned in
the town of Hazen a two-story building
which was used as hotel and store
and that that the place was insured
with the defendant company for all loss
that might be caused by fire less than
$1,000. 1t is stated that the building
and contents were destroyed by the
fire of August 23rd and that the loss
was $1,000. 1t is further alleged that
the insurance company has refused to
pay the loss although frequently re-
quested to do so. Reno journal.

NEVADA WONDER HALF GOLD
And Half Sisver According to
Reports Recently Sent Out
To the Public.

The following is a report sent out
from Wonder to the Reno journal
which shows that Wonder has good
producer and interest is manifested in
that section.
Shareholders Of the Nevada Wonder
Mining Company held their annual
meeting in Philadelphia on December 2,
and reelected the following directors
James S. Austin, C. A. Daniel Barton
Hopes Jr., c. a. Higbee, Charles r.
Miller. John Willing and j. Harvey
Whiteman. The directors reelected
the same officers who served last year.
The report OF the secretary states
in measuring the blocks of ore only the
width Of the drifts, averaging about
three and a half feet wide where the
ore was exposed. was taken. The veins
will average from to 10 feet in width,
so il can be conseryatiyely assumed
that twice the 30. 600 tons Of ore esti-
mated in these blocks can be mined.
The proportion Of gold values to silver
values in the Wonier vein is as follows:
Above the winze level, gold 4S.7 per
cent, silver 5l.S per cent.
On the 100-fool level, gold 81 per
cent, silver 43 per cent.
On the 20o-foot level, gold 43 per
cent, silver 81 per cent.
On the sO0-foot level, gold 40 per
cent, silver 50 per cent.
This report shows that the Nevada
Wonder mine has upward of go, 600 tons
Of ore now in sight, valued at more
than $1,000, 600. nearly one-half of

Latest From Camp GREGORY

The new camp recently located in
the hills southwest of Fallon about 16
miles is attracting great deal of at
tention at the present time, and the in
dications are that good camp will be
established. B. F. Gregory, the locat-
or, says it is as good prospect as he
has seen any place and has the same
formation as at Tonopah, Goldfield and
Virginia City.
At this time shaft is down about
IL feet and some flattering assays and
specimens have been secured from this
shaft.
Mr.. Gregory is in communication
with eastern people and probably they
will visit the new strike. He is also in
correspondence with some of the prom
inent mining men of Rawhide and is
assured they will pay the camp visit
in the next few days.

ACCUSES VOLAEY B. LEONARD
Who Was a Special Administra-
tor, of Embezzlement to the
Amount of $500.

That Volney B. Leonard has embez-
zled 81, 500 of the estate left by George
Nelson at Rawhide about one year ago
was openly charged in court by Atty.
Sehnitzer in the course of an argument
in the case of Roxie Henderson against
Leonard and the Miners and Mer-
chants Bank of Rawhide. Schnitzer
made the further statement that the
matter would be placed before the Es-
meralda county grand jury at its ses-
sion in January.
Leonard was appointed special ad-
ministrator of the estate of George
Nelson. Nelson was a partner of Rox-
lie Henderson of Rawhide, and had
money deposited in the Miners and
Merchants bank. It was stated by
Sehnitzer that Leonard had embezzled
81, 800 of the money entrusted to his
care as special administrator and
through a technicalty of the law Hen
derson had been deprived of securing
the money before Leonard made away
with it.
Mrs. Nelson has now been appointed
administrators of the estate of her de-
ceased husband and she was substitut-
ed as defendant in the suit in the
place of Leonard.
1t is said that Mr.. Leonard is in
Chicago and that warrant will be is

hezzlament.

What Will it Be This Year?

For centuries the idea has prevailed
that a green Christmas makes full
graveyard.
This is belief too gruesome for the
happy season. OF course, snowy, icy
landscapes and the chilly but exhilirat-
ing breezes of winter seem more ap-
propriate at Christmas. We can then
gather about the fire, warm our hands
ts our hearts should be warmed by the
sentiment of the season, and rejoice in
the world wide exchange of good will.
We learn that Christmas, in 1925,
was anything but cold and the mean
temperature was AZ degrees. Christ
mas, 1880 was even warmer, the maxi
mum temperature reaching 81 degrees,
and that was one degree above that of
the proceeding Christmas.
The fact is that in the middle and
southern sections of the country, at
least, cold Christmas days are not the
rule.
United States weather records run
back about the life of a generation.
But there are private records extend
ing still further into the past. And
these show that cold Christmas days
have not been the rule.
On December &c. 1929, thunderstorms
occurred in some parts of the south,
accompanied by frequent and vivid
flashes of lightning. On Dec. 25, 1851,
the maximum temperture was forty
degrees. but on the following day the
mercury fell until at night it regis
tered only degrees.
Then there came the mid fall of 1856,
when the weather was so spring-like
up to Dec. %, that rosebuds fingered
in the gardens. In some places roses
were in bloom on Christmas day.
Two years later Christmas was MEM
orable because of its delightful wea-
ther, and it is related by the diaries of
that time that the grass in the field
was green and fiourishing when New
Year came.
While the mean temperature for
Christmas 1869 was only slightly above
the freezing point, the month of De-
cember was mild-warm at times. On
the lastday of the month pansy was
plucked in bloom in the latitude of
Pennsylvania.
December of 1891 was unusually
warm and humid; there was no fall OF
snow during the month.
The cold Christmas days of recent
years were in 1873, when the mercury
went as low as Is degrees in clear
weather; in 1894, partly clear day,
when % degrees was the minimum;
1887, clear day, with 27 degrees as
the lowest; 1890, cloudy with "a degrees
minimum; 1892, snowy and l6 degrees;
1896, clear and II degrees; 1897, clear
and II degrees.
From these statistics it is very evil
dent that it is not the usual condition
for Christmas to have freezing temper
ature.

SENATOR G. S. NIXON WIRES
Rev. Geo. Black Regarding
the Difference of the Annual
Water Tax

The following is telegram received
last Friday by Rev. Geo. Black, chair
man of the resolution committee of the
Truckee-Carson Farmers Association,
from Senator Geo. S. Nixon:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l6, 'OS.
Mr.. Geo. Black,
Fallon, New.
Refers to Individual homesteaders.
even this will have much opposition
from Congress. Rogers was present
at conference. Get details from him.
GEo. S. NIXON.
At this conference it was decided by
the delegation from this State and it
seemed partly satisfactory with Sec
retary of the Interior that the follow
ing be done: That board be appoint
ed or selected by The members of the
Trick ee-Carson Farmers Association
to investigate and recommend to the
Secretary of the Interior. James r.
Garfield, those individual homesteaders
in this project that are in need of de-
ferred water payments aud who are
not able to meet the required assess
ments.
In suggesting this way, a bill that
would be benefit to the homesteaders
might pass through Congress and be-
come law. The homesteaders who
are in better circumstances than Others
could pay the tax while those who need
assistance could secure it from the
government by paying the required
rate Of interest.

The masquerade ball to be given by
the Pythian Sisters on New Years
night will be for the families of the

allowed to mask. Remember, the
