OLD Mine IN
new HANDS
Local Company Secures Willard.
Mcdonald Mine and Will
Soon Start Work.

G. L. Berryhill, one of the officers
of the Success of Nevada Mining
company, left on short visit to
the coast last Monday on business
connected with the mining interests
that he represents. Just before
his departure he informed a rep
resentative of this paper that his
company had recently secured the
Willard Mcdonald mining prop
erty, located near the Mountain
House, and will shortly commence
operations. His trip below, at
this time, is solely to make def
nate arrangements for opening up
this property.
The Willard Mcdonald is an
old mine and was first worked by
the men whose name it now bears.
Many thousands of dollars were
taken from the property by them.
In the past few years the mine
as been worked by different ones
with more or less success. The
new owners will inaugurate a very
systematic manner of working the
property which is now equipped
with a small mill and other needed
machinery.

WOULD CREATE
new BERTH

As result of the great amount
of work in the United States
Circuit Court and United States
Court and United States District
Court in this State, it is probable
that within the next year the
lawyers of Nevada will unite with
the Nevada Congressman and
Ssnatosr to petition Congress to
appoint another Judge for the
Ninth Circuit, the new Judge to be
located in Nevada permanent !
and to attend to all Circuit Court
business in this State. They will,
it is stated, ask that District Judge
harrington be given the honor.
AT the present there are three
Circuit Judges for the Ninth Cir
cult, to-wit: Judges William M.
Morrow, Eskine M. Ross and VIM.
B. Gilbert. None of these three
Judges nor Justice McKenna Of the
Ninth Circuit, it is claimed, has
ever been in Nevada to hold court,
and all of the District and Circuit
Court work of Nevada falls upon
Judge Harrington.

single individual. Wm. Dressler
is thelowner of this private storage

thousands of dollars.
Mud Lake is about ten miles
southwest of Gardnerville in the

For months past it has been one
Of be busiest points in Douglas

VIII Store

of Land
NEVADA, THE
BATTLE BORN

No one ever pretended that Ne
vada was admitted for any other
reason than as a war measure.
NevadaIstands alone as the only
Territory in the Union that had
Statehood thrust upon her.
1t meant something to the people
of Nevada in 1864 to assume the
heavy burdens of Statehood. The
glory was not then so alluriug but
that the first proposed constitution
was rejected by popular vote.
When the real purpose OF State
hood was better understood, the
action of a second constitutional
convention was promptly ratified.
So great was then deemed the
necessity for haste that the con-
stitution was telsgraphed to Wash
ington at an expense to the State
Tor the one dispach Of over $4,000.
Nevada lived up to her motto
"All for our Country" She turn
ed stream of gold and silver into
the Golfers of the nation that made
it easy TO maintain ner o.edit, and
besides, she practically was com
PEELED to assume the defense Of her
own domain from warning Indian
tribes.
The general government still
owes the State of Nevada nearly
half million dollars expended in
protecting her people from the
wards of the government, and in
raising and equipping soldiers for
the Union Army. Some day,
probably. the nation that has had
the real benefit of the hundreds of
millions of dollars which the
mines of Nevada have produced,
will pay this honest debt.-Hon.

EDWARD BAKER
SHOT TO DEATH
Without Cause; a Nina Gambler
Sends Bullet Crashing Through
His Brain.

The deadly western pistol claim
ed another victim, early Sunday
morning when "Slim" Grimmett,
well-known Nina character, shot
and instantly killed Edward Baker
proprietor of the games in his
brothers hotel at Nina.
Just why Grimmett fred the
fatal shot is not known, and the
slayer refuses to speak 1t is
known, however, that Baker had
at one time accused Grimmett, who
was his employe, of fleeing him
out of large sum of money by
working" the cards.
Grimmett hunted up Baker,
Saturday night, and found him at
1:30 the next morning, in the
hotel.
Without word, witnesses
declare, he fired two shots, one OF
which hit Baker in the eye, pene-
trating the brain.
Ed Baker, the victim of this
tragedy, had a wide acquaintance
in this Valley that will deplore
his untimely end. Until few
years ago he had been a resident
of this section and followed the
work of a horse-brsaker and
vaquero, being employed at differ
ent times by the Dangberg COM
pany, VIM. Dressler and others.
Being of an even disposition, not
quarrelsome, but joyal, whole
souled good natured boy, it appears
hard for his former companions
and acquaintances, to accept the
truth oflhis death by murder.

of conserving enough water to
cover 5000 acres foot deep.
There is water enough that goes
to waste down Carson river each
spring to irrigate thousands of
acres of land, and Mr.. Dressler is
the first to take steps to utilize the
food waters of the river, especially
for the purpose of retaining arid
land. About 1000 acres of now
barren land will be brought under
cultivation as result Of this ir-
rigation project. The success of
the undertaking was assured be-
fore the first shovel full of DIRT was
moved. By storage irrigation the
vast aeras of the west are being
transformed from desclate wastes
to the most productive farms in
the world. While the government
is expending millions of dollars in
irrigation projects, corporations
and private individuals are also
ints the work.

 'The first one was from woman whose husband has been sick. Her letter says:
 My husband has been sick, and not able to work, and we have five little children, and Christmas is nearly here' and the children haven't clothes to keep them warm. We will have nothing for Chritmas.'
 T personally investigated this family and found things as was stated In the letter. They are being helped.
 Another one says: T am widow and have eight children and only one old enough to work. We manage to pinch along, but win have nothing for Christ mas.'

But her children told Mrs. Harvey when she went to see them, That Santa Claus would not come to their house. There are many others but I win not weary you longer.

CUTICURA MET WITH
 ITS USUAL SUCCESS

sT have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. l did everything that 1 could hear of for her. but it did not give in until warm weather when it seemingly subsided; The next winter when it became cold weather the eczema started again and also in her head where 1t would take the hair out and leave bare patches as large as a quarter of a dollar. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. 1 took her to phy- sician and he said that she had two distinct types Of eczema. l continued with him for seve. al weeks and the child grew worse all of the time. HeT sisters arms were also affected in the same way. My husband came home one day with a box of Cuticura Olnt- ment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. l began using them and also the Cuticura Pills and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth as At had not been before for the winter. We keep the Cuticura Soap and Cutl- cura Ointment constantly by us and when any little roughness or irritation appears on their skin l quickly dispel 1t with the Cuticura Remedies. My husband has used them with most satisfactory
 results for a sore head which has troub- led him from childhood. Mrs. Charles Baker, Albion, Me-, Sept. 21, l90S."

Has the veil of mystery that has so long shrouded the ancient sciences been raised at last? Can it be that a system has been perfected that reveals with req sonable accuracy the character and dis position of an individual. and so outlines the life as to assist in avoiding errors and taking advantage of opportunities.
