wEEPING sM4ALL FRUIT
s-s IN COLD STORAGE

Experiments have proved that for
freezing small fruits and keeping them
n cold storage for several months the
best results can be obtained by the
use of small package, provided it is
Fot too small to prevent the escape of
the gasses given off by the fruit af
ter il is packed and after it is fro
zen.
Strawberries and blackberries were
frozen in boxes for six months with
varying results.
The flavor of the fruit wrapped in
the open crates was tainted with the
odors from the other articles in the
storage rooms. and the flavor of the
fruit in the triple wrapped boxes
was but little better, having become
tainted with the corbon dioxide gasse
exhaled by the fruit before it became
frozen. The flavor of the fruit in the
double wrapped carton, however, was
much eff the flavor of the fresh fruit
itself. The frozen fruit is used in
making fresh fruit pies and fruit ices
in mdwinter.

We are a boastful nation, if nothing

called upon for a description of the

judgment of an otherwise good and
capable officer. The sturdy Bob is
quoted as saying upon his arrival at

THE MURDER AT GOLCONDA
LAST FRIDAY MORNING

About three 'clock Casey came into
the barroom of the Hot Springs hotel.
He was intoxicated and asked every
body in the room up to have a drink.
He told Woodhouse that he could do
as he pleased about taking one with
him. Woodhouse said that he would
take cigar He took it and then sat
down. Casey then struck him with
his gun in the forehead, wounding him
slightly. Woodhouse struck back Dur
ing this time Casey was using the
most abusive and obscene language.
Woodhouse tried to avoid any further
trouble Casey poked his gun ia
Woodhouse' s face and said, 81 IN GO
ing to murder you,' or something to
that effect, then pulled the trigger, but
forgetting to take the safety catch off,
the gun went off, exploding the cap
of the cartridge, but not the eartride
itself In the meantime WoodeDuse had
his gun out and when he saw that Ca
sen meant business and looked into tho
muzzle of Casey's weapon. he knew
he had to protect his own life and
fired. just how many shots were fired
is really not known. but three hit
Casey. one in the head one in the
neck and one in the side.
The trouble arose over Casey's dis.
charge from the games by Woodhouse.
He had threatened to kill Woodhouse
for several days and shortly before the
tragedy had boasted that either he or
Woodhouse would be dead by morn
ing Woodhouse has been in Golcon-
da for about a year and during that
time has made many friends. He is
quiet, peaceable young man. He is
deeply grieved and keenly feels his
position.
NJ S. Bonnifield has been retained
as his attorney, and the preliminary
examination will be had on Monday
March 80, before Justice Langwith of
Golconda.
Casey was miner, but owing to i'll
health had to give up the work and
took up gambling.
He was buried Sunday in the Col
conda cemetery.
Woodhouse was taken to Winnemuc-
ca Saturda yand lodged in jail There
are many versions of the tragedy, and
Casey's friends are trying to tell it
rs a cold blooded murder. On Casey s
part it was premeditated, and he had
every intention of numbering Wood
house, who acted in self defense. Many
believe that Woodhouse VIII be aequit-
ted at the preliminary hearing. The
coroner's inquest was held Saturday.

CALIFORNIA BAR ASSOCIATION
rom the Sacramento Bee.

From the Sacramento Bee.
1t is announced that the California
bar association of San Francisco pro
poses to "take action concerning the
recent attacks by the press upon the
integrity of the courts.
IF the bar association should first
purge its membership of men who have
notoriously disgraced the profession of
the law it would be better qualified
to set itself up as censor of the
press.
When none but capable and honest
meen sit upon the bench and none but
just and wise and unbiased decisions
rendered, the courts cannot suffer from
newspaper attacks, and few will be
made. But so long as the judicial
appointments are made through a cor
rupt and unscrupulous political mach
inc, notoriously controlled by saii
read boss, there will be lack of public
faith in the integrity and independence
of the judiciary, and this will be re-
flected by the press. And the sar,e

JESSUP IS
LOOKING Up
From the Lovelock Tribune.

From the Loveloek Tribune.
The boom in the Jessup district
continues to go on unabated, and the
town and the district are rapidly ac-
suming the proportion of old timers, y
said j. j. Mackedon the mining man
yesterday. "It is remarkable the way
the people are coming in and If the
rush keeps up, and there is no doubt but
that it will not be many weeks
before the camp rivals the great camp
Of Rawhide.
Tuesday of this week the autos
and stages were loaded to their full
capacity, twenty one having gone in
Wednesday there were twenty eight
new arrivals The majority of these
people are coming in from Reno, Raw
hide and other Nevada towns-and
all are looking for investments either
in mining or other businesses, and
while it is true that some of them come
just for the purpose of seeing, but
the majority of them are coming to
stay and will embark either in the
mining. brokerage, or commercial busi-
ness.
In speaking of the work being done
on the different mining claims, Mr..
Mackedon said that active develop
ment work had been started and was
peing vigorously pushed. On the Hop.
kins property which was sold last
week to Reno parties, two shifts are
at work sinking shaft on the big
ledge. During the past week con
siderable trenching was done on the
ground and thorough test was made
of the vein matter near the surface.
From the ten samples taken $40 WAS
the lowest assay returned while some
run as high as $3.50. The manage
ment of this property has announced
it's intention of losing no time in open
ing up the ground when the occasion
demands it, substantial machinery will
be installed which will greatly facili-
tate the carrying out of the propo sed
plans.
Morrison and company who are now
operating lease ON the Mabel y of
the Jessup and Murry property are
running deep cut to determine the
pitch of the ledge which cuts through
their granpd. As soon as this is de-
termined a shaft will be sunk. In
running the cut through tnc NlEe
several rich stringers carrying free
gold has been uncovered and the own
ers are satisfied that with further
depth they will open up bonanza
Mr. Mackedon stated that one lease
had been granted on the property own
ed by himself and George Tavlor, and
that others were being considered. The
block of ground leased is on the Gold
King, located near the townsite. The
trenching is now under way and when
a suitable place is found shaft win
be sunk.
The first frame building for the
town of White Canyon was completed
last week. The structure is 20x40,
and will be used by the White Can
yon Townsite company. Lumber is
now on the ground and Reno parties
who have recently become interested
will commence the erection of $1,000
building, which will be occupied by a
saloon.
In conclusion, Mr. Mackedon said
that the most encouraging reports were
coming in from all sections of the
district and that in very short time
the Jessup ,astrict would be occupying
a position in the foremost ranks of
Nevada 3 mining camps.
