Oh, no; for on searching for her hidden store be- meath the chair she discovered that her treasures were gone, Who had ta : ken them--the banner. the bouquet, the box? All that was left to her was the cap and bells! She. could have wept with mortification--yes. real salt tears but tears would not restore them. some greedy waiI-fiower who had never danced had no doubt seized upon tbonl. and carried them away to exhibit later as her own trophies! And all that re- mained to Hester was her fools cap and bells: following the example of an. other girl. she placed the cap upon her head-of course. an heiress may do odd thtngs-at any rate, 1t was safe in It's present position. and nightly it be- sitting at an adjoining supper table. asked his stout partner Who was that charming Folly with the cap on her head?" and she answered.
 '.Oh. the Englishwoman with the big fortune--she Is as dull as an English dinner"
 But I fancy she has idaes. all the same" he rejoined; and as his eyes met those of Hester. he sent her one of his most deadly glances, a glance that threw Hester into such confusion that she helped herself to jelly along with her plate of cold tongue. The folly cap. now took the place of a long-de funct pink cameilla, and was certain ly a most suitable insignia of the un- fortunate young woman's state of mind. Fortunately. not a soul dreamt of her infatuation-even Mrs. Tudor had no suspicion of the true state of affairs. She had been much gratifej and complimented by the success of her protege, and the next afternoon invited her to tea in her own sitting room. in order that they might talk things events of the evening. Surely this sub sequent talking over" is not the least of balls attractions!

William Mitcher arrived in this city
Thursday from Carson to take charge OF
the construction of dwelling which B.
II. Reymers will shortly erect in Yer
ington. The building is to be built of
concrete blocks and will be erected on
Bridge street, about two blocks east OF
Main. Mr. Mitcl er has sent to Iowa
for a concrete block mold of late in
vention. The mold will turn out blocks
which have about 3-inch airplay in the
center. This virtually makes two walls
around the entire building. The blocks
are reinforced by steel, making them
durable. The advantage of the air space
in the blocks is that it keeps the house
in the same temperature. The new
home of Mr.. Reymers will be modern in
every particular and when completed it
will add greatly to the resident section
of the city.

INJURED IN RUNAWAY

Last Monday while Ed Davies and J..
B. Thompson were returning from the
Cambridge mining property, in the
southern section of the Yerington dis
trict, the team that they were driving
became frightened and ran away. 1t
seems that one of the tugs became un-
fastened and that started the horses to
running An effort was made to stop
them, but just then one of the lines
broke, and Mr.. Thompson in some way
was thrown out between the wheels, the
hind wheel of the buggy passing over
his body, while Mr.. Davies was thrown
out on the other side of the rig. Both
gentlemen, although not seriously in
jured, were badly bruised. The accident
happened near b. II. Reymers' ranch,
east of this city. The gentlemen were
making their way to Yerington when
they were picked up by Mr.. Reymers
and brought to the city. The horses
were later caught in the Reymers' lane,
and although they had run for some dis
tance, they had neither hurt themselves
or harmed the buggy.

ROAD is IN BAD SHAPE

For the past week or more the county
road, about a mile south of Yerington.
has been more OF duck pond than a
public highway. A goodly number of
kicks have been registered concerning
the condition of the road at this particu-
lar place, and rightly justified are the
complaints, as the road for more than a
hundred yards is covered with water
from one to two feet deep. The cause
seems to be due to the negligence of a
few of the farmers in that neighborhood,
who, instead of attending to their irri-
eating water, they let it run at will. 1t
is claimed that nothing would have been
said had this condition of the road been
caused by accident. but since the water
has been running in the road for more
than a week past without any effort on
the part of the farmers of that neighbor
hood to stop it, it seems that they should
be awakened to the fact of their misde-
meanor.

$4,000 and the changing of hands of an
eighteen months lease on a claim on

best properties in Granite. Recent de-
velopments by which four foot ledge of
ore carrying values better than 500 ton
and with here and there throughout the
ledge little seams ranging i'll the neigh
borhood of SIS, 900 a tonin gold, was the
incentive to the purchase. The shaft on
the property is down As feet, and an av-
erage sample taken from the dump on
this lease assayed $50. 20.
AT present shift of four men are EN-
pioyed on the lease, and it is the inten-
tion of the owners, as soon as a little
more depth is reached, to start cross
cutting the vein and add another shift of
miners in order that the lease can be
made to yield as much of its hidden
treasures as possible before the expira-
ton of the eighteen months

MASON VALLEY PEOPLE
MAKE GOOD DEAL
AT BOVARD

Again Mason Valley people have fig
ured prominently in mining deals in the
Rawhide district. 1t was but this week
that George Bovard and George Davis,
both residents of Mason Valley, sold a
group of three claims at Camp Bovard
for the neat sum OF S35, 900.
The purchaser of the property was a
Mr.. Storms, mining man representing
Colorado capital The ground purchased
adjoins the Dedntond, Knapp and
Thrailkill property upon which the phe-
nomenal strike was made a few weeks
ago. 1t is claimed that the same ledge
traverses these claims and that good
values can also be had on the surface
Although the entire purchase price was
not paid down, a sufficient amount was
paid to assure the payment of the bal
ance within the specified time of a few
months. Mr.. Storms, who made the
examination of the property, was we'll
pleased with the looks of the property
from the surface indications and it is
said that he considered himself fortunate
in being able to pick up such piece OF
ground
From present indications we expect ia
herald some more good news from this
district concerning Mason Valley people
who are in on the ground floor of the
new Nevada camp.

the we'll is about 800 feet deep, and
although the water is near the surface,
an artesian flow has not been encount-
cred. For almost the entire $50 feet
gravel is about all they have passed
