new SHELTER FOR
CARSON CITY

RENO, Oct. l4.-Bills of exchange
amounting to $l00,UU0 are now on the
way from Montreal to Carson City for
the purchase of smelter site by the
Western Smelters corporation, accord
ing to advices received by G. w. Clapp,
the organizer of the company, from j.
A. Yerington, its president, who has
been handling the eastern end of the
financial affairs of the company.
This sum not only assures the pur-
chase of the site, but will make the
initial payments on other properties
which the smelter company viii ac-
quire and which it has under option.
The Offices of the corporation will be
opened at once in Carson City, where
suitable building has been offered the
company by Mr.. Yerington. Work OF
clearing up the site will be begun AZ
once and the first unit of the smelter
will be put in operation within SIX
months, according to the expectations
of the company.
1t is the intention of the incor-
porators to add further units as soon
as the first is running to its full ca
paeity, which owners Of mines in sigh'
of the railroad insure the company will
be immediately. The plans as grsi
drawn will provide for a 1900 ton planV
and the arrangement of the buildings
will be such that further units can bt
added as the tonnage grows.

Her Faith


Everybody In Three Pines said It was
good thing when at the close Of the
spring term of court LESSEE Binsle got
divorce from Ted Bingle.
People said they were surprised that
she showed enough sense TO take back
her maiden name. For ever since she
had run away at the age of 16 with
Ted Bingle, who was not so very much
older, and married him with future
assured by nothing further than Ted's
contagious laugh and ability to see a
Joke, Jessie had been regarded by the
populace as beyond hope.
They did not relent even when all
their prophecies of woe to follow were
fulfilled. They said they did not see
what else she could have expected and
1t was only a proper judgment upon
her. To some people 1t is one of the
chief Joys of life 10 witness retrlbu-
ton descending where they think 1t Is
most needed.
1t certainly descended on Jessie. The
four years OF her married life had gone
steadily from bad to worse ana at

the leaky roof and broken window
panes, was no longer possible, because

there was no fuel, even If there had
