The consensus of opinion is that
Schultz was put TO death IL some one

RESIGNS AS CHIEF

George B. Swasey, the efficient chief
of the Tonopah fire department, has
handed in his resignation to the Board
of County Commissioners, the resigna-
ton to take effect January 10th. Mr..
Swasey gave no reason for his resigna-
ton, and it is believed to be due to the
fact that his business affairs require
more of his attention.
George Swasey was former resident
of this valley, having been born and
raised here.

TRAMPS GALORE

There is an army of tramps travelling
both east and west over the Southern
Pacific railway at the present time. Why
such horde of unemployed are on the
hike this time of the year nobody seems
to know. 1t is getting to be almost as
bad as it was in 1894, when the great
Coxey army passed through the state on
the way to Washington. No explanation
is given only that large number of
men are sent on to the Nevada deserts
by employment agencies with the under
standing that they can procure work on
the railroads that are being constructed.
At Reno the other day fifty Migrants
were rounded up by the police and head
ed mp the track towards the ice cutting
ponds in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The police headed them to prospective
jobs and told them to travel. While in
some instances there are many good
men among the army of hobos, yet the
greater number of these men are not
looking for work. but begging their way
through the world. The county jails
along the lire of the road have no ter
rors for them and rather they look upon
the prisons as home for them and are
perfectly willing to put in the winter
there. Humboldt Star.

HIS HEART BEATS TRUE
FOR NEVADA

Nevada has had pretty trying year,
this last one. When the flush days
passed by the Comstock, Eureka, Phoebe,
Candelaria, Austin, Treasure Hill and
Tuscarora, all gave out and the state
lapsed into an almost moribund con-
dition for fifteen years. Then came the
discoveries of Tonopah, later of Gold
field and of several other camps and
Ely made clear what its tremendous un-
developed wealth would probably be,
and the excitement returned to the old
state and the output of gold apparently
crazed the people. They put all their
money in stocks. The stocks, under the
labor difficulties and under the too great
depression of year ago, failed, and the
men of Nevada were about as badly
broken as the whole state ever was
before.
That was the situation at the begin
ming of the present year, and it has
been a hard struggle, and still immense
strides have been made. Three or four
new districts have mrde clear that he
old prestige of Nevada ought to come
back, and the showing in Goldfeld, Raw
hide, Seven Troughs and Gold Circle
and many other camps give almost a
certified assurance that in the next year
or two Nevada will be producing more
gold than any other state, and that her
mining will exceed that of any other
state.
Within the year the mills at Silver
Peak have got under motion; two great
new mills at Goldfeld have been built;
the rebellious ore has been mastered,
and it has been pretty well demonstrated
that if the bullion is in the ore, there
will be way found to extract it. -
She has added good deal to her
agricultural area great many new
discoveries have been made within the
last twelve months; she is great old
sta e, and will be the Government in
money centers during all the coming
generation. The old race of Nevada
people has passed away, but the new
race is taking up the burden. We look
for nothing but good in Nevada for the
coming years Goodwin Weekly.

LOCAL CHRISTMAS TREES

Though there was no public tree in
Yerington this year. one realizes from
the number of private trees that the lit
tie folks were provided with the joys of
Santa Claus. Mrs. John Snyder and
Mrs Nick Hironymous entertained their
children together at the Snyders. Mrs.
Murchie and the Knierims combined at
Grandma Fox's. Mrs. Davis made happy
the little Vests and Larues along with
her own. The Arntz family had re-
union over at Smith Valley. The DR..
Leavitts always have beautifully deco
rated tree and Santa Claus. Mrs. George
Plummer, Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Nate Fish,
Mrs. Albert Arends, Mrs. Nye Mrs. Dill
lon, and Mrs. Erway are others who had
trees. Beside this, many private dinners
were enjoyed, and altogether Yerington
lived up to the holiday quite creditably.

the EXPERIMENTAL
FARM OF NEVADA

Professor S. B. Doten of the Univer-
sity of Nevada returned Wednesday from
the State Experiment Farm at Logan i'll
Lincoln county
He states that the farm has made
much progress during the last two years
and that it is now in shape for long
course of profitable experimental work.
A new two story house of cement blocks
of eight rooms and a basement with
bath and modern plumbing was built
| asst summer The whole farm is now
under fence and ditch and most Of the
land is under cultivation.
Anyone not informed as to the pecu-
liar climatic conditions of southeastern
Nevada would be surprised at the mid
winter beauty of the country surrounding
the farm. There is snow in sight on the
distant hills, but none in Muddy Valley.
In the valley there has been enough
frost to stop plant growth for the winter
but not enough to freeze the ground,
and spring blowing is now in progress
all over the valley.
Along the river stretch series OF
fields alternating with patches of un-
cleaned brush land all dotted here and
there with great cottonwoods many of
which stand green as in mid summer in
the midst of green fields of wheat or
oats.
The muddy Valley and the adjacent
lands along the Virgin river are destined
to be the richest agricultural region in
Nevada for there is no such soil or eli
mate in any other part of the state. On
the Station Farm at Logan last summer
the Superintendent. Chas. Arney, had a
garden patch whose crops were so varied
that list of them would astonish far
mer of the colder northern part of Ne
vada. Side by side with corn, pump
kins and cucumbers grew peanuts.
Spanish peppers and sweet potatoes;
here row of lettuce, there one of okra;
here cabbage, there cotton. Beyond the
patch Of garden stuff, a young orchard
showed an equally curious mixture; rows
OF apple trees alternating with figs; in
one row, choice table grapes: in the next
plums or pears or pomegranates. all
this goes to show the variety of products
grown in Lincoln county. AS to the
quality, it is of interest to note that of
thirty-fve products exhibited last Sep
TENDER at the Reno State fair, twenty
four took first prizes and the exhibition
took the first prize, silver medal, for
horticulture.
The Salt Lake, Los Angeles and Sar
Pedro road plans to put spur down
through the Muddy Valley to Rioville
ON the Colorado. 1t will prove to be the
most profitable section on their railroad
for with the transportation problem
solved southeastern Nevada will develop
in few years to her full productivenes,
and that full productiveness will NEAR
an immense traffic in ore and salt and il
all the varied products of field ano
garden.

STATE NEWS

Work commenced Monday on
the electric street railroad in Gold
field.
J. T. Longacre, a gambler, who
killed a miner named Mclaughlin
at Seven Troughs last August, has
been acquitted of the charge OF
murder at Winnemucca. His plea
was self-defense.
Eighty cars of ice were received
at Sparks Tuesday, part of the
harvest now being cut at Boca.

At sheriff's sale Monday in Cold
field all properties that made the
district famous, including the
Northern Belle, the Holmes group
and numerous others, were knock
ed down under the hammer to w.
E. +. Deal of the Central Trust
company of California, whose
price was $2oI,4Ie.I6. Plans for
development work and general
resumption on company account,
are immense, and will become
manifest shortly after the opening
of the new year.
According to writer in the
NJ ,nhattan Mail, it was recently
sted by man in position to
know, that the Nevada California
Power company had considered
the question of an electric car line
from Millers to Manhattan, and it
is now generally believed that it
is the purpose of the company to
not only put in car line to Man
haitian, but to extend the line
north, making connection with the
Nevada Central at Austin, and
also make Millers the distributing
point for southern Nevada. If
such are the plans of the power
company it means much for the
development of the contiguous
country and great profit to the
operating company. The hotel
erected at Millers and the 500 Il.
D. contracted for, accredited to
Manhattan, would seem to support
this theory.
