A DEMOCRAT and
A GOOD ONE

A. W. Ramsey, one of our
staunch Democratic citizens, re-
turned from Tolopah last Satur-
day where he attended the State
Democratic convention as a dele
gate from this county. While he
took an active part in things per-
tanning to the convention, he did
not forget to do a little boosting for
Carson Valley. He told them
that this was the richest spot on
earth outside of Tonopah and
Goldfield and that every farm in
the Valley was as good dividend
payer as gold mine. He made
a bigger splash too, than would a
a bullfrog jumping into Lake
Tahoe. He made himself heard
and his story got prominent
place in the Tonopah Sun, the
best little paper published in the
southern mining towns.
Since returning home he has
been hard at work telling of the
lively, bustling mining cities out
on the Nevada desert and brings to
memory little incident of the
early days of the camp. Jim
Butler, the father of Tonopah, was
working his claim when a stranger
approached him and said: "does
she go DOWN." Butler sized up his
man then remarked "well she don't
go up" That was several years
ago and those lodges are still going
down.

The purchase of a large mill is be-

a decision will be arrived at when
the directors meet. As both Mr.
Carman and Newcomb favor such
? step, it is most likely that future
work will be guided by the report
OF the superintendent, Mr.. Carmen.
A force of men will be kept at
work in the mine until such a
time that the winter storms in

AGED GENOA LADY
dies SUDDENLY

Last Friday morning Mrs. J. +.
William died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Nettie Selby at
Genoa. She was one of the oldest
settlers in the Valley, coming here
with her husband in the early
sos. They lived on what is
known as the Williams ranch for
many years. Both were closely
identified with early-day life in
this section. Since her husbands
death she has lived with her
daughter.
Up to the hour Of her death the
deceased had been in the best OF
health. Shortly after arising she
suffered an attack of heart disease
and passed away almost instantly
falling in a swoon from which she
never recovered.
Five children are left to mourn
the loss of loving mother. Mrs.
Nettie Selby of Genoa, Mrs. Hayes
of Carson, John, Burr and Will
Williams, the three sons, who are
residents of Arizona.
Mrs. Williams was y years of
age at the time of her death and
was a great grand mother.
The funeral was held at Genoa
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Ball hav-
ing charge of the services which
were well attended. Interment in
Genoa cemetery.

Water MELONS from Antelope.

Martin Shields, the Burbank oi
Antelope Valley, was in Gardner
vile this disposing OF load ol
water MELONS that were raised in
his garden in Antelope Valley.
These MELONS, without a doubt are
the finest ever brought to town
and have rich, delicious flavor
that would tickel the palate of the
most exacting epicure.
They are grown in an altitude OF
5000 feet and wher, the late frost
comes in June and the first frost
of fall usually comes with the
early days of September. Not
more than two full months inter
vene between frosts, yet sheltered
in secluded spots by the rolling
hill that spread out from the
high Sierras, no better MELONS
are grown not even in Sacramento
where the season is ten months
long.

SACRAMENTO Men
WORKING Mine

A party of Sacramento people
are working what is known as the
Welcome mine, located short dis
tance from Hangman's bridge a
few miles above Markleeville and
we are informed by Fred Dunlap
who was in town this week, that
several big bodies of low grade
ore have been encountered on the
property. A large body of low
grade ore should always give the
owners more encouragement than
little streak of grade and
this is the theory that the owners
of the Welcome mine are working
on. Assays as high as $40 have
been received but the average ore
thus far found will run $14 or SIS
per ton.
Mr.. Strzzy and partner, of the
Welcome saloon, 700 X street, ].
Kroner, a tailor, F. Marti, the
dairyman and other well known
Sacramento men are interested in
the property. Dave Rusthaler,
son of "Gilt Edge" Rusthaler, is
also at the mine with view of
becoming interested.

PETER CURTZ and
THE MORNING STAR

While there has been no Adda-
lines Cave found in Alpine county
this summer bv the little army OF
miners that are delving inc the
rock ribbed hills, yet those who are
interested are certain that they
will receive final reward. The
Nevada Hercules mine and mill
remains idle, obstensibly for the
need of capital but really for the
want Of harmony among the stock
holders VINO are fighting for con-
troll.
Last winter Peter Curtz secured
control OF the Morning Star mine
and during this summer has EN-
ploved a force of Is miners on the
prop-rty. The old working shaft
was SO badly caved that no at
tempt was made TO clean it out.
A tunnel was started to tap the
bottom of the shaft and has been
bored into the hill for a distance
of $50 feet and there still remains
$50 to complete before the shaft is
reached. Two good lodges have
been cut by the tunnel averaging
Sl6 per ton However, just now
Mr.. Curtz is not looking for low
grade when ii is known that a
body of high grade does exist in
the old working. As late as eight
years ago Mr.. Clark had tenor
ary control of this mine and ex-
tracted % tons of ore that netted
him at the smelter $4,000. The
mine was owned by an English syn
dicate and they refused Clark an
extension of time. Curtz is now
for the rich body of ore.

YOUNG ARTIST
IS A MARVEL

We will not take the assumption
to say that we have discovered a
real genus because the subject of
this sketch was found several years
ago and all manners of induce
ments would not entice to leave the
remote settlement thai has been
his home since he was bought into
the world. However, we take
pleasure in telling of the accomp-
lishments that nature has endowed
him with. His name is Walter
Monroe and his home is in Alpine
county. In early childhood he
craved desire to draw pictures Of
things about him. Wild deer,
mountain scenery and anything
pertaining to outdoor life furnished
subjects for the young artist. A
pencil and common sheet Of
paper was all he used and the
drawings by the boy attracted
considerable attention. Later he
managed TO secure "A few water
eolors and brushes and the re-
suits that this young unframed
artist attained were short OF marvel
Gus. He was in Gardnerville last
Monday and at our solicitation
showed us "A work which he recent
ly completed While we do not
profess TO be a Judge of such work,
yet we do not hesitate to say
that many a piece of work has
found a place on the walls of art
galleries that would in no way
surpass it. The scene is gorge
near the summit of a mountain.
The beautiful colorings of spring
time is excellently portrayed and
the silvery stream threads its way
through the mountain recess and
the towering pines are as natural
as the trees themselves.
Walter Monroe, if he will allow,
has "a great future before him, and
some day would be known from one
end OF the land to the other.
