city Council.

In harmony with other lines of
business there wasn't much doing at
the city hall last Monday night on
the occasion of the regular meeting
OF the city dads. 1t was probably
on account of the dullness in mum
icipal and other lines that the may
or and all of the city fathers were
present to attend to whatever busi-
ness came up.
Under the head of petitions two
sideration. John Marshall. a. Moore
and T T. Woodruff. .petitioned the cit,
dads to be allowed to construct a
concrete cement curbing in front of
their respective properties on
Smithland avenue between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The petition was
granted.
Night Marshall Gerald Daimler APP
piled for two weeks iay-off with
pay, which was granted, in line with
the precedent established with other
city employees in similar requests.
Alderman Inge. of the street and
alley committee, reported several re-
quests for crosswalks and recommend
ed that they be granted. which was
done In the following instances:
South side of Second street across
Lincoln avenue: north side of Sixth
street across Belleview avenue: north
side OF Fifth street across Belleyiew
avenue.
A resolution was introduced and
adopted compelling property owners
in the Bowles block. between Maple
and Lincoln and Third and Fourth
streets to connect with the sewer.
There is no alley in this liock and
the plan that will have to be adopt
ed in order to comply with the reso-
luton will have to be manufactured
by the property owners. According
to the ordinance any property owner
who is within 400 feet of a sewer can
be compelled to connect 1t will be

The city dads then gathered around
the mayor to inspect the one lone
bill that was submitted by the city
clerk. 1t was bill for lumber from
the English Lumber Company,
amounting to $10.95, and 1t was also
the first instance on record where
the city council had but one bill
to allow. Evidently there is not

present.

RENO COPS STILL
CHASING CLEWS

Most any day in the Reno papers you
can read of some clew which the off
GERS of Washoe county and the City
OF Reno are running down, with the
hope of bringing some murderer or
thug to justice. Daily the papers of
Reno spent much space following the
tragedy, which cost two lives, one Of
which was police officer Brown Of that
city, in telling of the methods being
employed to discover the persons who
were the real cause Of the tragedy. But
the newspaper talk got no further than
clews, and we never read of the guilty
men being captured Jus now there
is much interesting reading of how the
officers are on the track of the perpe-
traitors of the hotel Jargstorf crime
The officers have been on the right
track ever since the crime was commit
ted, but the quarry has never been To-
Gated. The latest is a story in the
Journal, of how the criminals hobnob-
bed in Reno for a week after the crime
and lodged the Officers at every point.
The Journal says that because of the
negligence of a Reno physician in re-
porting a conversation he had with
man named Kelley to the Officers, the
criminals were not landed in jail.
All of this makes interesting reading
but we hope some day to hear of bona
fide capture being effected. The crimes
in Reno have been many, and few are
the men who are responsible who have
been landed in jail Such a condi-
citizens of Reno. in order to protect
hon cotx
weapons at all times.
proposition has been advanced in
Reno to tax the property owners of
the town $1.00 a month apiece, and
thus provide fund for an additional
police force. The trouble is not in the
number of police Officers. but in their
efficiency. Reno is an overgrown
country town, and her fifteen or
twenty police officers should be able
TO handle the criminal situation. But
there is something lacking in the eff
cheney of the police force.
What Reno needs for her protection
is men like sheriff Graham S. Lamb
of Humboldt county, Nevada. When
a crime has been committed in Hum
boldt county the public hear little of
the clews that are beng chased down,
but in four cases out of five it is
not long until the newspapers tell of
capture having been effected Thus
it was in the case of the murderers of
Frank Welch, crime way out on the
desert, and who were captured on the
most meager clews. During the re-
gime of Sheriff Lamb of Humboldt
county less crimes have been commit
ted and more criminals run down than
ever before.
1t is such men as this that Reno
needs, men who do not make spe-
cialty of divluging clews, but "men
who get their men.

ROUTE FOR
A NEW RAILROAD TO ELY

Frank C. Armstrong, representing
the allied interest of the Cumberland
Ely, Nevada Con-, Ely Mines, Step
toe Smelling and Nevada Northern
Railway company, accompanied by
Arthur Scott, a civil engineer, left
this morning for "Tex' Richards au-
tomobile for Tonapah and Goldfield.
The primary object of Mr.. Arm
strong's visit to the southern camps
at this time, and in taking the over
land route is to investigate the topo-
graphy of the intervening country to
determine the feasibility of the
proposed railroad form Ely to the
southern camps, and, incidentally, to
make a thorough canvass of the camps
to ascertain the amount of ore avail
able at present, and the future pos
sibilities of the section in the way Of
shipments to the smelter here.
Some two months ago two prelimi-
nary surveys were made from Tona-
pah to this camp by engineers in the
employ of Tonapah people, presuma
bly, the Ely-Tonopah Railyay com
pany. Beginning at Tonapah, these
surveys follow the low passes in the
mountain ranges and the valleys into
ely.
One route, leaving the White river
valley thirty-five miles south Of Ely,
crosses the Schell creek range, through
Water canyon entering the Steptoe val
ley south of Ward, thence northward
down Steptoe valley into Ely, by way
of Georgetown The other route came
up White river valley to its head and
the summit of the range, thence down
Murray creek canyon into Ely. From
the summit of the range at this point
a line was run around by the Giroux
mine, and down Robinson canyon into
Ely.
While he refused to give out any
thing for publication concerning the
nature of his visit to the southern
camps and the country through which
he proposes to go, it is generally under
stood that in leaving this city, Mr..
Armstrong has chosen an altogether
different route than any heretofore
proposed. Having in mind the pos
sible extension of the Nevada Northern
he went out by way of Hamilton, Duck
water and Tybo, to gain information
as to the feasibility of the construc-
tion of railroad through that Sec
tion, and to take observations of the
possibilities of the country in gene
raj.
Early last fall it was generally un-
derstood both here and in Tonapah,
that work on the y-Tonapah railroad
would be actually begun before the
first of the year; that sufficient mo-
ney to insure it's construction and CON-
pletion had already been raised by
the promoters, but when the finan-
cial panic took possession of the coun-
try in general. this, like many other
new enterprises, was forced to await
more favorable times.-Ely Expositor.

HOW TO PRESERVE
FENCE POSTS
FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE.
Woods Given Sixteen Additional Ser
vice by Preservation Treat
ment

Fence posts of many kinds of cheap
woods which would ordinarily seem de
cay if set in the ground can be made
to last for twenty years by simple
treatment with creosote. Most of the
so called "inferior' woods are well
adapted to this treatment, and this is
especially true of the cottonwood as
pen, willow, sycamore low grade pines
and some of the gums. When proper
ly treated these woods outlast un-
treated cedar and oak, which are be-
coming too scarce and too much in
demand for other uses to allow of
their meeting the demand for fence
posts.
Impregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the introduction
of the "open tank which can be in
stalled at cost at from $50 to $45, or
much less if an old boiler is used. A
tank with a bottom IL feet square
in area will suffice for treating 40
or so 6-inch posts a day, or double this
number when two runs per day can
be made. The absorption of creosote
per post is about as follows: Eucalyp-
tus, one-tenth gallon; willow, tenth
gallon sassafras ash, hickory, red
oak, water oak. elm and maple, four
tenths gallon; Douglas fir, quaking as
pen and black walnut, six-tenths gal
lon; sycamore, cottonwood and lodge
pole pine seventeenth gallon. The
price of creosote is about ten cents per
gallon in the East and Middle West,
sixteen cents per gallon on the Pa
eific coast, and twenty-seven cents per
gallon in the Rocky mountain states.
The cost OF treating post will there
fore vary from to Is cents. Proper
ly treated, it should give service for
at least twenty years.
Experiment of the Forest service
show that with the preservative treat
ment the durability of lodgepole pine
in Idaho is increased sixteen years
The cost of creosote is relatively high
there, yet by treating posts, there is
saving, with interest at per cent,
of two cents per post early. More
important, however, than the saving,
is the fact that with the preservative
treatment other woods are fitted to
take the place of cedar, of which the
supply is rapidly becoming exhausted
A detailed description of experiments
in preserving fence posts, together with
practical suggestions for treating them
on a commercial scale, are contained in
Circular III of the Forest Service
This publication can be obtained upon
application to the Forester at Wash
ington.

SALE OF COPPER
PROPERTY
DENVER JUDGE BUYS
DEMO COPPER MINE
Purchaser Expects to Arrive in Win
nemucca From Goldfield
This Week.

A report in mining circles is to the
effect that the copper properties at
DEMO, owned by A. M. Williams and
associates has been sold to Judge J.
A. Elston, formerly a practicing at
torney of Denver, but now interesting
in mining. This report is undenied by
Mr.. Williams, who states that he ex-
poets Judge Elston to arrive in Win
nemucca from Goldfield the latter part
of the week
The DEMO copper properties are sit
uated in the extreme northwestern part
of Humboldt county, some of the claims
lying over the line in Southern Ore
gon. The deposits there are of the
most extensive character, and, in fact,
Puebla mountain, where the claims are
located, is veritably a mountain of cop
per. The ore is of low grade char
acter, and vast capital will be re.
quired to work the claims. Under the
ownership of Mr.. Williams, a great
amount of development work has beer
done, including shafts, tunnels and
drifts. One long tunnel extending
several hundred feet has been run into
the side of the mountain to tap the
heart of the copper ledge. Favorable
reports have been received concerning
in the tunnel, the last being received
but few days since. This was to the
effect that the. best looking ore yet
uncovered in the DEMO district had
been opened up.
