QUARTZ MILL
IN OPERATION

The 20-stamp mill of the Hercu,
les Mining company situated at
Loope was started u, to its fullest
capacity Wednesday and will be
kept running day and night as
long as there is enough water III
the Carson river to operate the
power plant. 1t may be that the
river will fall lower than usual this
year on account of the light snow
fall in the mountains last winter
but it is thougt that it will be very
late in the season if at all.
The mine and mill is now under
the supervision of competent min
ing men. and while it has suffered
to some extent in the past by mis-
management, everything bids fair
that will make the Nevada Hercr.
les property one of the best pro-
ducers hereabouts. Enormous bod
les of both high and low grade are
blocked out in the mine, and one
of the most modern stamp mills
and power plants have been erect
ed, and now these main factors
coupled with the assistance of COM
petent mining men is sure to make
the property such as it was de-
signed to be-a paying mine.

PROMISE OF
GOOD CROPS

This year the crops in Carson
Valley have been greatly retarded
by the cold backward spring and it
is just the past two weeks that
things have started to grow. Hay
ing will not begin quite as early
as it has on some previous occasions
but the crop promises to be as great
as was ever cut in the Valley. The
grain fields are looking fine and
and while in California barley
headed out when but few inches
from the ground, and the farmers
needed field glass to locate the
shocks of hay after it had been cut,
Carssn Valley will present
no such state of affairs. A down.
right failure OF crops was never
known in this section and "a few
acres of alfalfa, brood of hens, a
small drove of cows, potato and
garden patch a bank account and
a happy home. Then you have a
pen picture of the farmer in
Carson Valley"

'GARDNERVILLE
BEATS RENO AND
CARSON IN SPORTS

Last Sunday Gardnerville re-
presented Fourth OF July cele-
bration and all that was lacking
was the decorations and firecrack-
ers. The crowded streets, jolly
men and gaily dressed ladies made
one think of past occasions. The
ice cream parlors were crowded
all day. The special train from
Reno and Carson arrived a little
before noon and brought about
200 people to Gardnerville. The
five hotels were taxed to their
fullest capacity.
The gun clubs from Carson, Re-
no, with the local team went to
the traps soon after dinner and
started the contest for the champ
ionship of Nevada. Some very
good scores were made despite the
heavy wind that was lowing.
Carson carried off the honors and
only defeated Gardnerville by 9
points. Reno was badly beaten
by both teams.
The ball game between Carson
and Gardnerville followed and al
though the Reno Journal published
an article giving the game to Car
son the result was quite different.
In the first inning Carson made
one run. Gardnerville came to
the bat and piled up s runs in the
last OF the first half and from that
on had everything practically their
own way. The final score stood
IS to in favor of the home team.
Immediately after the game the
special was in readiness to take the
visitors to their home towns and
at 5:15 the train left Minden.
Nothing happened during the day
to mar the pleasures of single
person. From all accounts the
visitors enjoyed their trip to Gard
nerville and Carson Valley.

Peter Curtz, who has operated
mines in Alpine county on and
off for the past 40 years, returned
to that section last week and has
put force OF men to work on
Stella mine. This in one of the
old, old mines of Loope and in days
agone was a silver producer. A
tunnel will be run and the old
timbers from the shaft will be re-
moved through the tunnel, which
will be more feasible method than
was attempted by the company
who had bond on the property
last summer.

their last resting places with the
choicest bloom.
But the distinctive purpose of the
day is to keep alive the fires of pa
trotism by permitting the mind to
dwell upon the lives and example
of those who willinglyloffered them
selves as sacrifice on the altar Of
our country's liberty. Never, as
long as grateful people honor
their heroes by such rites as those
of Decoration Day, will the watch
fires of freedom grow dim or our
country lack a host of brave defen-
ders.
As relatives, friends and citizens
we mourn the dead and pay their
memories loves choicest tributes.

OBSERVE DECORATION DAY.

Tomorrow is Decoration Day. In
Gardnerville no concerted effort
has been put forth to add to its i'm
pressiveness and to emphasize the
solem, yet sweet lessons it was in
tended to inculcate, yet the people
of this Valley will visit the local
cemeteries and place upon the
graves of their departed flowers as
as an emblem of purity and devo.
ton. The local Odd Fellows have
appointed a committee to visit and
decorate the graves of their depart
ed brethern.
No sweeter, tenderer custom was
ever instituted than that of visiting

month of flowers, and there in
memory of the dear departed strew

r. Batter, who operates freight
team between this point and the
principal towns of Mono county
this week received notice from the
manager of the Great Western Oil
cnmpany of Los Angeles and who
is operating an oil rig on the Island
at Mono Lake, that some sixty
tons of machinery would arrive at
Minden within few days for the
Mono Lake basin, and was inquir-
ing for teams to haul it to its desti-
nation. From this it would ap-
pear thai the statement to the
effect that the company would
make Thorne its railroad terminal !,
was not authentic.
A report was brought from Mono
Lake this week stating that the
oil we'll the Island was cappe last
week and the men employed on the
rig have been detained on the
island under half pay. Also that
the company has been making
efforts to buy up the stock which
it has hoated for the purpose Of
sinking the well. We have been
unable to verify the report before
going to press.

Two GAMES
FOR SUNDAY

Manager Ezell of the Baseball
team has arranged for two games
for Gardnerville Sunday. At 10
a. IN. the first game will take place
between the second nine from the
Indian School and the Gardner
vile second nine. But little is
known as to the merits of either
OF the above teams and hence we
will refrain from making any COM
ments as to the probable outcome.
That both teams will exhaust
every endeavor to win is fore
gone conclusion and game, well
worth witnessing should be the re-
suit.
In the afternoon the first team
from the Indian School will cross
bats with the first Gardnerville
team for the fourth time. In the
three previous games the school
team came out on top, but in the
last two engagements the scores
were 81 and 4-3, which would seem
to indicate that there is little to
choose between the two teams.
Gardnerville broke her losing
streak last Sunday and there is no
telling what will happen next Sun
Snday.
25 cents admission will be
charged for each game.

A Hero.

Ben Cardinal proved himself a
hero one day last week at Valley
Springs in rescuing two young Re-
no ladies from the water of a boat
pond near thu resort. 1t appears
that the ladies wished for ride IN
the boat and Mr.. Cardinal volur-
teered to handle the oars on the
occasion. The three embarked in
the little craft and all went we'll
until the bow of the boat struck a
snag and before they partly rea-
lized what had happened they were
in the water up to their neck. Mr..
Cardinal worked hard and within
a very few minutes had the two
drenched young ladies safely in the
boat. Ben is now an idol at
" alleys as we'll as a bookkeeper.

PLANTS PROVE
GREAT SUCCESS

Through the kindness of G. f.
Merrick, we were this week shown
the many advantages and conven-
fences made possible by the Leader
Pneumatic water system Especially
in small towns and private resi-
dents in localities where gravity
system is impossible. We viewed
the new plant at Minden, where a
triple action pump takes water
from an artesian well and is forced
into 1000 gallon steel tank by the
aid Of a dynamo. There it is put
under an air pressure OF from 40
to l25 pounds which forces it
through the mains with a power
full pressure equal to that of plants
in large cities. The plant is SO ar
ranged that it starts and stops
automatically. The cost of such
q plant is very low and had our
sister town of Bridgeport been thus
equipped they could have saved
the price o five such plants at thrir
recent fire.
The above plant was installed
after practical demonstrations bad
been made by the system of II. C.
Dangberg Of Gardnerville, provi g
it to bs all that it was represented
for it. The latter plant is now
supplying water for domestic pur-
poses to nearly every residence in
the southern half of town. To
adequately supply the demad the
capacity of the present plant will
be doubled, the necessary m. :
chinery having already been order
ed from the factory. Seeing the
advantages offered in the way OF
fire protection, the business men
have c)-operated with Mr.. Dang
berg and fre-plugs will be place !
in the business section.
These plants are built in differ
ent sizes and several farmers are
displacing their windmills and
making ready to install this sy,-
tenn. SO far, WIN. Hussman, Wm.
Lampe and c. NJ. Henningsen are
among those to place orders with
the agent, +. Il. Merrick.
