DEATH OF GENERAL TURRIrTIN.

One of the best citizens of Nevada
and the leading citizen of Reno is
dead-General George F. Turrittin.
No man who ever called Nevada his
home will be more missed. None ever
left behind more kindly memories
or the announcement of whose pas
sing to the Great Beyond will cause
more general and sincere sorrow.
He served his state in many capaci-
ties. He took a strong, active and
beneficial interest in the political gov
eminent of every department of the
national and local commonwealth. In
this respect he was a citizen politician
in the highest and best sense of the
term; Sinking no duty that he owed
the nation, state, county or munich
pality in which he lived, and true,
steadfast and i~ncorruptible for every
principle that he thought was right.
AS a business man he possessed
unusual executive talent. His judg-
ment was clear and sound. He was
progressive. far sighted and ever
ready to aid any beneficial project
for the states betterment. His
fortune was acquired unusllied by
any dishonest or dishonorable act.
No man, woman or child within our
knowledge eve complained that Cen
eral Turrittin had ever wronged or
treated them unfairly in any trans
action, small or great. Fair deal
ing and his own conscience were his
guides in his business dealings. His
word was as good as any mans bond,
once given it was kept inviolate.
General Turrittin was given by
nature a genius for friendship. He
loved and was interested in all man
kind. He made no distinctions be-
tween the high and the low, the rich
and the poor. He knew everyone;
spoke kindly and e~ncouragingly to
all; sympathized with those in dis
tress and gave no grudging helping
hand, but IN that was actuated by
an innate spirit of benevolence and
generosity.
As he was true TO all men. so he
invoked the same spirit in others to
himself. His friends, numbered by
'legions throughout the state and
elsewhere, will miss him more per-
haps than any other friend they pos
sessed. The state has lost an
illustrious citizen, and Reno one of
the truest men that ever counted this
city his homeA.Reno Gazette.

The Cole-Ryan people have the
reputation of moving slowly but
thoroughly. 1t is a manner of pro-
ceedure that makes for speed in the
long run. What they do in this
respect in taking their time about
opening up properties in the best
possible way and likewise in equip
ping them with reduction works, they
also do in the requirement of prop
erty. When satisfied that a camp
is good and that ore making condi-
ions are there they do not hesitate
about paying fair price for whatever
they may see that they consider good
and find open to sale. That as they
get around to it they will add ma
terially more than they already have
to their holdings in this district, is
to be expected.
