Red Canyon that already gives
considerable promise. An S-foot
hole has been sunk on the ledge
exposing good milling ore from the
grass roots, sample of which were
shown to the writer by Mr.. Millgan
in which free gold was plainly
seen. The mine has been named
the Tenderfoot and the locator is
very much enthused over the find.
Mr.. Milligan is connected with the
Pittsburg Steel company of Pa,

INDIANS GET
PLENTY WHlSkEY

Drunken Indians have been re-
ported numerous during the past
ten days, and it is self-evident that
there is an element here that
should be given an hour to hit the
high places. A few mornings ago
VIM. Lampe found three drunken
Indians sprawled out in his front
yard. Sunday a citizen saw a white
man pass a bottle 10 an Indian
and a few hours later the red man
was in a drunken stupor. Monday
evening parties returning from the
cemetery were accosted by. three
drunken Indians. Tuesday after
noon drunken Indian was
staggering around on Eddy street
and his actions caused several
children TO take to their heels.
Wednesday evening Sher i if
Wyatt saw drunken hobo with
an Indian near Minden and start
to arrest him. However, the man
was not drunk as was supposed
and made his escape in the dark
ness and was fired at several times
by the sheriff as he ran. An
attempt was made to arrest the
Indian, but he too made his escape
under the cover of darkness.
These are but a few of the daily
oecuranees and we believe that
a little more attention should be
given to the matter.

GOVERNMENT
IRRIGATION WORK

The work of measuring the
Walker river which has been car
ried on by the government for the
past fifteen years, will be discon-
tinued today, according to gov
ernment engineer who has been
closely identified with the work for
the past few years. The measure
ments have been taken by the
reclamation service for the pur-
pose If ascerta.ning the amount of
water per acre used by the farmers
and estimating the amount that
would be required to reclaim the
arid land along that river. This
work has been abandoned for the
present at least, and that means it
will be many years before govern
ment dams will hold back the flood
waters of the Walker river.
1t would appear to ~ casual OBJ
server that the government is "a
bout to concentrate all work to the
CarsonTruckee project which is
still far from completion. More
water is needed and in order to get
il reservoirs must be built on the
Carson river. As yet the site has
not been selected but some believe
that it will be built on the upper
Carson river where excellen dam
sites have been acquired by the
government which if used would
forever remove the possibility OF
water shortage and be the means
of supplying the home-builders OF
the Truckee-Carson project with
the needed producer of crops. A
site is also situated above the Sink
but because OF the poor foundation,
a crust of rock resting on sand, it
may be condemned as the con
struetion OF a dam at that place
would entail an enormous expense
to insure its absolute safety. 1t
appears that the upper Carson
offers the best cites by far and il is
not unreasonable to suppose THAT
the dams will built in the most
feasible location.
Carson Valley would be greatly
benefited if the government would
decide 10 construct the dams on the
upper Carson and thousands OF
acres arid land in this Valley could
be brought under cultivation.

INDIAN SCHOOL
NOT ABANDONED

"Thr government may intend TO
abandon the Stewart Institute near
Carson as intimated by the letter
sent TO the governor of the state"
remarked Superintendent Asburv
last week, "but it is taking
queer way to do it, Contractors
are Just beginning the construction
Of a $4,000 dormitory at the place
and it is expected that it will be
completed by the first of tha year,
probably before that time. 1t is
strange that the department should
be expanding so much in perma-
nent improvements at the place if
il WAS Intended tn abandon them
within a short time. know it is
the policy Of the department to do
away with non-reservation schools
but owing To the fact that the
Indians are scattered and also
itinerant throughout the western
portion of Nevada and eastern
California it is almost impossible
10 carry out the scheme in this
section. Accordingly it is likely
the Stewart institute will be one Of
the last ones abandoned because it
is not on reservation. News.
