FREE SHIPMENT
FOR EXHIBIT ORES

H. A. Jones. freight traffic manager OF
the Southern Pacific railroad, has made
an agreement with Sam Davis, chairman
of the Nevada Publicity Bureau, to trans
port all ores and other exhibits to be
placed at the International Mining ex-
hibition, which opens at Madison Square
Garden, New York, May Is, from Ne
vada to New York and return, free OF
charge, provided such ores are to be
used exclusively for exposition purposes.
The citizens of Yerington should get
together and collect sample OF ores
from this district, for now is the time to
act, if we want to be represented at the
exhibit. There is not mine, or even
a prospect for that matter, in this dis
trict that cannot make a showing that
will be second to none in the display.
The mining interests of the world will
be represented, and surely Yerington
can not let this important matter go by
the board.

There he left me and went in search
of aunt.
As soon as Uncle left cooked the
rife; for, what If deer should
come, | thought the noise made by
cooking the gun would scare it
away before ! could get a shot. I had
heard Uncle say that the best place
TO shoot a deer was just behind the
shoulder; that was where | would
aim when one came along.
1T was along about IL o'clock ana
the sun was just beginning to break
through the clouds and sprinkle,
little dots of light on the ground
around me, when thought | heard
a faint noise. | kept still and listt
ened, 'Pit-patn Pit-pat!' ever so
faint, but still audible, It came.
And the first thing knew there was
n fine two-year-old buck with HID
tongue to the salt lick. \
Excited? / should say was. And
just then from away off somewhers
came the bay of hound. The buch
raised his head to listen. He waA
| broadside to me | aimed Just behindl
his shoulder and fired. The bucJ
gave n leap into the air and spranE
into the brush beside the path, anda
was gone. a
Uncle heard the shot and camM
running as fast as he could. I sup%
pose he thought | had accidentaliT
discharged the gun and had, maybe{
killed myself. N
Il told him what had done, I'm
was surprised as could be, and AIN
most forgot to reload the rifle, Whehf
he gathered himself together suffi%
ciently TO proceed, he plunged int&
the brush in the direction the deeN
had taken. Soon the hounds cani8
up in full cry, and jumped the tralN
in the track of the buck. Maybe VOID
think my heart wasn't beating justH
then. n
II never will forget Uncle's wiftf,
yell of delight in a very few minutesA
and his cry of Come here, SallieM n
Come quick!' | only had to go abou&
two hundred yards through the brushl
before | came upon Uncle and tha1
dogs. And there lay my buck, stona1
dead. or course | was proud. Who1
wouldn't be?
Ever after that | was more thaif'
ever fayorite with Uncle VIII and!
Aunt Margaret. Aunt Margaret'sl
hair never did turn gray; 1t aiwaysI
stayed the auburn that you see inf
the bracelets. And when they camel
to my wedding Aunt brought md
these bracelets made OF her own hair
with their PICTURES In the locketsI
IT'S the only ime they ever had their
pictures taken, and it's the only time
they ever got Uncle VIII to dress
up, They must have thought a whole
lot of me Aunt to give her hair,
and Uncle TO go and have regular
broadcloth wedding suit made for
the sole purpose Of attending my
wedding. Anyway, | know | always
thought whole lot of both of them.

want you to have these bracelets"
