Some several weeks have passed in the
fiat of the two Young Married Couples
Also, quite few things have happened.
Susie and Sallie have been a little cool
toward each other Not exactly mad to
each other. but cool: you know that feel
ing.
Items: Susie. atop Of being chiseled out
of the better bedroom, discovers. she
thinks, that Sallie isn't a tidy house
keeper. Susie finds that Sallie has habit
of leaving things laying around" Susie
discovers that Sallie likes to stick around
in the hay in the morning, expecting SUI
sic to turn the handspring out OF the
shucks and get the breakfast for the men
folks.
items in rebuttal: Sallie thinks she dis
covers that Susie is a tight-wad who
balks at buying anything but Inferior
Vittles for the co-operatively-paid-f Ia
BILE. Sallie discovers that Susie likes to
get in an Uppepcut every once in while
about folks that pick out the best bed
room for themselves and things Sallie
finds that Susie is a peevish thing about
picking up things and busting and being
old-maidey and fussy around the place.

EAST WALKER
TO HAVE BIG
POWER PLANT

A Goldield exchange contains the
following in regard to a new power
plant to be installed on the East Walker
river:
Plans for power plant for the St.
Ives Leasing Company in the East
Walker river country are being rapidly
perfected. A. A. Codd has returned
from Yerington and tributary sections,
and reports that the entire district looks
better to him than ever. The property
OF the company named is six miles up
the river from Morgans' ranch i'll Es-
meralda county. An expert examination
has been made of the claim, and, ac-
cording to Mr. Codd. has disclosed a
4-foot ledge. traceable fully 500 feet.
The rock is said to carry about 100
ounces of silver, besides more or less
lead and gold.
Owe will put in power plant, !" sail
Mr.. Codd, ION the East Walker river,
where we have 1000 miners inches OF
water. The ore will be concentrated
and the concentrates shipped out. The
copper claims of Yerington look very
good to me and this summer ought o
witness a large amount of work in that
territory. Then there is an abundance
of game along the river in this county
quail, rabbits and other choice morsels
for hunters, are numerous, and one does
not have to go to an adjoining State for
the sport. He can find it right in Es-
meralda. The farmers of Mason Valley
are at present reaping harvest from
potatoes. They get S3S ton for them

high grade ore bodies had Just been
opened on the fifth or lower tunnel level
This, / think. is the most important
news that ever came from the mine, as
It establishes beyond all question that
the mine goes to the deep and that the
nigh grade values will go down with the
ore. Tie east drift on the lower tunnel
level reached The ore two or three weeks
ago, but the values were low in copper
and high in iron. The copper averaged
about per cent. 1t is evident as was
then believed and now demonstrated;
that this material was simply the casing

With this disclosure made OH the fifth

nendous additional tonnage in very

damage done by the floods and storms,

BILL TO INCREASE COM
MISSlONERS'
SALARIES

Senator B. H. Reymers of Lyon county
has introduced bill in the Senate pro-
vidiug for an increase in the salaries OF
the County Commissioners of this county
Heretofore the commissioners have re-
ceiyed $50 per month. The bill that has
been introduced provides for salary OF
$50 month. or $500 year.
The measure is a good one and should
become law. The duties of COM
missioner are responsible and he should
receive salary worthy of the Office.
Senator Reymers also introduced a
bill providing for the Office of road
master for Lyon county. The Office will
carry salary of 500 year.
