ROAD DWORK Is
GOING GAHEAD

Out on the Lakeview road, teams
and men are hauling and placing a
large amount of rock and the road is
gradually to be made into the finest
turnpike in the state.
From a point half way down the
incline south of the Italian ranch,
wnere a cement culvert has been plac-
ed to the city limits, the road is to
be macadamized, fitted with cement
culverts and made in every way per-
manent for heavy hauling or any kind
of teaming.
Commissioner Tenant was out yes
terday looking over the work and is
well pleased with progress. The rock
hauling takes up the greater part OF
the time in the work, as the rock is
placed as fast as ;he waggoners dump
it in the desired spots.
Commissioner Esser is busy at the
south end of the county with the
Clear Creek road and expects to have
the main part of that work finished
this week. Commissioner Randall
probably will begin work on the EN-
pire road and the Brunswick bridge
this week.
Ormsby county will have the best
roads in the state.

HOWDOTHTHE
DIVORCE?

Marion Nicholson is making the
or less dimpled backs of lot of wo-
men in Reno who form the socallei
divorce colony of that city.
Marion went to Reno very quietly
He was welcomed with opened arms
by the Wit and fashion of the city.
20 say nothing of the twenty or thirty
DANES who are spending the neces-
sary months there until their number
is drawn.
Marion hal good time. All pros
pective Divorces in Reno have a good
time. 1t takes money to reach Reno
from the effete East and the lawyers
in Reno are there with the hard touch
when it comes to the little matter Of
court fees and ratainers. At that they
overlook a lot of it for the colony
there now is made up of women
who check against accounts that
range all the way from a paltry few
hundred thousand dollars to twenty
and fifty millions. Once in a while
a poor one drifts in but very seldom.
There is generally some affinity lousy
with dough who is there or therea
bouts When the expense account
comes in.
Anyway Marion found that the
example or some of the ''furrin" la
dies has dazZled the ideas of some
of the staid and stately Nevada folks
and that there is imminent more or
less popular determination to follow
suit and shuttle off some irksome
bonds of a matrimonial nature. OF
course the period spent by the di-
vOrcees, and they are not all women
either in Reno is not in any sense of
the word a period of probation. moth
ing like that. it is simply wearsOme
six months spent in the state to ac-
quire that legal qualification that pre-
ludes a suit for divorce in Nevada. T.
happens that this prelude is shorter
than in any other state and that there
are about seventeen causes for action
specified and unspecified in the Ne
vada coCe.
Ali these things make for eos"
money for Reno hotels. apartment
houses. restaurants and auto garages
The colony spends several thousand
dollars every month in the Riverside

WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
GOLDFIELD CON. DEAL

Much comment is being made
deal whereby Wingfield and his as
sociates juggled the ownership of the
huge Consolidated mill and the rail-
road thereto for reduction of Consoli
dated ores.
This deal is nothing new in Nevada.
In the early days of mining, when
the Comstock was putting out it's food
the mine owners chafed under the
eXactions of the mill owners, whose
mills were far from perfect and
whose charges were far from reason
able in some instances.
The dissatisfaction resulted in
change. Mine owners resolved to cease
eXpending large sums for reduction
when the might erect their own mills
an save such expenses. The upshot
of it was that the mine owners gath
cred in the mills in subsidiary cor
porations, maintained the reduction
charges and caught the stockholders
'gwin and COMM
This is evidently what the Consoli-
dated has in mind. Milling Charges
may be increased but instead of a net
to the Consolidated stockholders, the
subsidiary corporation will pocket the
dividends from hauling and milling
Ile bullion tax may suffer and
1t may not, and if it does. the
Attorney General should look
into the matter of the milling cor
poration, for Nevada has been too
good to the Consolidated to stand TO,
and ungrateful juggling of accounts
and assets to cut down the tax it
should pay the state, county and city.

HATCHERY is
GOING UP

Commissioners Mills and Ierington
went over to the state fish hatchery
at Verdi yesterday on a "trip of in
spection and returned yesterday even
ing.
The commission is building a new
hatchery at a point about mile from
Verdi on the west bank OF the True
kee river where there is a huge cold
spring and 20 acres of land bought
by the commission last spring for the
purpose. The new hatchery will be
40 feet square, will have II loot walls
with hip roof, the foundation laid on
cement and will hold enough troughs
to handle 100000 fry. The spring
gushes from the ground about 20 feet
from the hatchery building at such
an elevation that it will flow through
the building. furnishing a perpetual
steady flow of pure cold water. The
temperature ranges from 81 degrees
to SO degrees which is more than 10
degrees colder than the water used
at the Tahoe hatchery of California
and is almost ideal water for the pur-
pose. The hatchery will be the most
modern possible In every detail,
The building will be almost finish
ed in time to admit the spawn to be
taken for eastern brook trout from
the creeks in Little Valley. These
fish spawn in the fall of the year and
the commission will begin stripping
about September Is.
Emil Oldenburg. the culturist iii
charge at the Verdi hatchery. caught
a salmon yesterday on fly that was
released in the Truckee River July
%. The little fish was three and five
eighth inches long, well formed and
hard and healthy as possible. He was
one of the many thousands the COM
mission planted in Walker. Pyramid
and Tahoe lakes and the Truckee riv-
er as an experiment 1t is said that
this salmon is the first ever caught
in an inland stream on fly and small
as ne is. the fact that he is in good
health and rose to fly is taken as
proof that the salmon will adapt
themselves to the fresh mountain
waters.
The commission. with invited guests
spent about four hours at the hatch
cry and Oidenburg provided a trout
lunch that was delicious The trip
was made in an auto from this place
the party returning here last night
shortly before six o'clock The time
between Reno and Carson City would
have been cut very much. but the
condition of the roads in Washoe
county precludes the possibility of
anything like touring time
The fish commissioners are start
ing great work at the Verdi hatch
cry and the successful outcome of
their efforts will add many thousands
of dollars worth of food to the re-
sources of the state 1t is work that
cannot be commended too highly.
