MT. GRANT DISTRICT NEWS

Mr.. J. R. Mathews has ten months
old stag hound that has killed eleven
coyotes in sixteen days. Not bad rec
ord for a puppy.
Mt. Grant district is slowly but surely
coming to the front, and by this time
next year we expect to have some good
producers
Messrs. Daniels and Fowler, who
came here from Berkeley, California a
few weeks ago. have discovered a rich
quartz ledge on open ground that adjoins
the M. M. A. and Morgan properties.
The ledge is about two feet in width
and pans well in free gold. They have
located group of FIVE claims and are
hard at work sinking shaft.
Messrs. Beaman and Osborn say they
will incorporate company soon and
build mill ON Cottonwood Creek. They
have a shaft down so feet and have
dr1fted $50 feet on the ledge. They
have been working three men steady
and have considerable ore on the dump.
Alfred Day of Rhyolite has gone to
Hawthorne to meet Denver and Los
Angeles people who are coming in to
look at his property. He has taken sam
Piles from the ledge on his property that
assayed as high as 500 ton in gold and
silver.
Owing to the scarcity of water there is
not much doing at the placers. A res
ervoir should be built to work on large
scale.
Many prospectors have passed lately,
but most of them are the kind that are
looking for a mountain of ore that does
not require work-a fortune in sight on
the start. This district is noted for its
blind ledges, and it requires man of
experience to open up or find the ledges.
We are still figuring on how we are to
get good wagon road to Yerington and
better mail service. AS it is now the
postmaster at Montelle, Mr.. Dumontell,
brings in the mail free once in two or
three weeks. MIR. Shores says he will
take the contract to build good wagon
road through Wheeler Pass canyon from
his place to Cottonwood Creek for the
sum of $500. The people here are all
willing to work on the road and it would
be OF great benefit to East Walker river
farmers and to prospectors and to the
merchants of Yerington.
We need a big custom stamp mill and
it would be a paying investment for
some one who has the means.

Sunday In Yerington

There are few cities or camps in Ne
vada where Sundays observed as strictly
by the merchants as it is in Yerington.
II is a credit to our city to have the mer-
chants keep all stores closed on Sunday,
and we sincerely hope that no change
will be made. There is no good reason
why any store should be open Sunday,
and the merchants and his clerks are
entitled to one day of rest the same as
any one else. Persons visiting here and
remaining over Sunday frequently re-
mark that we are way in advance of
most cities of our size. OF course all
places of business in large cities are
closed on Sunday, but frequently in
smaller places it is impossible to get an
agreement among all the merchants and
the result is that most of the stores keep
open part of the day, and it looks bad
and is unsatisfactory all round.

More Oil Excitement.

The entire valley around Morningstar
has been located as oil placer ground the
past week. The President of the Ply
mouth Ranch company in Smith Valley
has gone to Seattle to interest capital
Wellington people say they will order a
drilling plant at once and begin opera
tions. In one or two places globules of
crude oil come to the surface in the
water and one spring has flow of nat
ural gas coming to the surface all the
time. An expert from California has
pronounced the indications for oil as of
the best and will join others in making
tests. Several Yerington people have
camped on the ground and all seem very
sure that the real thing is in sight. We
sincerely trust that sure enough oil
field will be speedily developed, and why
not?

Death Of Elijah Dunn.

Elijah Dunn, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Aaron Dunn, brother of George, Walter,
Pearl and Leonard Dunn. was born near
Memphis, Scotland county, Missouri,
September IA, 1887 died at his home in
Mason Valley, Monday, August II, 1908,
being not quite 2l years of age.
He came to this country six years ago,
since which time he has been the main
stay and solace of his aged parents.
Manly with the manifest, he was, at
home, truly mothers boy" His
friends relate touching incidents of his
devotion to her.
Elijah Dunn was bold rider; he had
ridden many a race, we all remember
that of the 4th; but, vaquero though he
was, in the race for life that he rode so
CALAMITY after getting his death blow.
lying all night in agony, then, with Her
culean nerve, climbing into his wagon
and hanging onto his lines seven hours
while his horses walked him home, the
end was inevitable for he entered the
| lists against tie heaviest handicap he
! had ever met-the Pale Horse and mis-
| Rider.
In the last two years this same Pale
Horse has outstripped in the race more
than one of our young people, and we
have mourned; but i'll no instance has
there flown a quicker mist to the eye, a
harder lump in the throat, than in this
brave boys life snuffed out while he
stood at the post of duty. With him, to
conceive duty was to perform it with all
the zest of his nature. Those with
whom he has made his home from time
to time, his cousin, ]. l. Wilson. Mr..
and Mrs Frank Stickney, Will Simpson
of Colony Ranch. all testify to his gen.
uine reliability, and the happy disposi-
ton which made him the life of his as
sociates.
Banks of sweet peas, asparagus fern
and other flowers testified to this regard
so generally felt, that even at so large
funeral every individual was mourner
over their difficulties we sympathize with
them, we murmur kind words, but when
we see a man or woman whose trials
would make another weep, smile and
keep OH smiling through a maze of
anxiety and responsibility and persuade
others to smile, this is the bravery that
wrings ones own heart over the impot-
ency to help and keep the lips silent for
there are no words to utter.
Lige Dunn, as his mates called him,
was always singing Keep ON the Sunny
Side, Keep on the Sunny Side of Life"
God knows he did it, and God knows he
is proving the sunny side of things inn

AN INCREASE IN FORGE
is WISH OF PEOPLE
Think Safety of City is
Essential.

The recent bold burglaries COM
mitted in Americus, coupled with the
burning of the James Ryals resi-
dence Sunday morning after it was
raided by thieves has caused a con-
siderable feeling of alarm in many
quarters here.
This is particularly true in face OF
the recent reduction in the number
of police officers.
Two men were laid off last week
to the end of cutting down expenses
and the force nof consists of five
men; Chief Feagin, Lieut.. Barrow
Officers, Redmond, Johnson and Ross
Only two men are regularly on
duty at the time, day or night, be-
sides the chief, who is on from early
morning uptil near midnight.
In the event the police are called
some distance away late at night,
to quell a row in some remote quar-
ter, the business section will be left
entirely unprotected until their re-
turn, a condition calculated to cause
uneasiness.
Burglars could get in their work
with the police absent
OeVefaE business men, discussing
the situation yesterday, expressed the
hope that the knife of economy might
be applied elsewhere rather than to
the police force. They seemed to
think that the city needed more ade-
quate protection at present.
With the citys income reduced, and
taxes already near the high water
mark, council will be compelled to
''cut the garment according to the
cloth to apply very true adage.

ed at a sale, must get it upon a ply
sician's prescription, and said pres
cription must be put upon record at

where it is open to public inspection.
Captain John A. Cobb, the genial ordi-
nary, stated yesterday, in reply to
inquiry, that not an "alki' sale had
yet been registered in his office. In
former prohibition days alcohol was
a favorite beverage with old topers
in Americus and large quantities thus
was consumed. AS yet the reserve
stock" of whiskey put away for the
drought has not been consumed, hence
the slight demand for the "alki'' sub

WOMEN SMOKING
IN RESTAURANTS
Only One N. Y. Place
COuntendnCeS it.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7-(SpeciaD-
Smoking by women in restaurants and
hotel dining rooms has not yet be-
come a custom in New York, despite
the idea that has developed with the
year that such is the case, and the
proprietors and managers of these
places confess that they would be
very much pleased to be able to solve
the problem once for all
1T is not true that we are prepar-
ed to permit women to smoke open
ly," said John B. Martin, proprietor
of the Cafe Martin. Personally, |
should be delighted to have the
question settled forever If two or
three of the leading restaurants would
join me we would soon put an end
to the foolish discussion. But l am
afraid the average American idea
is still too Puritanical to allow the
innovation.
At Rector's it was positively denied
that cigarette smoking by women was
openly allowed. A. Miller, the mana
ger, was somewhat amused over the
discussion, but expressed himself
deeply interested, nevertheless.
1T is a little early to start the
CUSTOM" he said, "but when we are
convinced that the majority of our
customers want it we will let the wo-
men smoke
Would you permit woman to
smoke here now?'
Decidedly not, if we saw her. Of
course, there is no law against it, so
far as | know. We might not be up
held by the law, but we have our own
rule, and could refuse to serve a par1
ty where the woman smoked if we
saw them.
At the Waldorf-Astoria Mr.. Mar
shall, one of the assistant managers,
said: ''We have never given the
question much thought, because it is
so seldom brought-up. Probably once
in six months an Englishwoman un-
familiar with conditions in this
country will light cigarette. We
tell her it is against the rules, and the
matter ends in her frank apology.
We have never seen an American wo-
man smoke here, and so never have
been obliged to ask an American to
stop, although every one knows they
smoke in their own homes"
