you will be more faithful, but say
Just what duties, neglected in the
past, you win engage to perform in
the future. Do not promise that
you will give more of your time to
the service of the Master, but de.

time which you will give. A prom.

LOVELOCK CLUB
TRIMS RENO

Lovelock won hard fought, speetae-
ular game from Reno Sunday by a
score of s to 6. The game was won by
the visitors not because OF any superiol
playing on their part but rather be
cause of the ragged work of the locals
in the third inning which allowed the
farmers to send six over the plate.
The inability of the catcher to hold
Kelso was responsible for most of the
runs.
The fatal third ended the run getting
for the farmers and for six innings
Kelso. with change of catchers, held
them down with run.
Rossi, who was in the box for Love
lock was also in fine form and allowed
but few scattered hits.
Sundays game was the first of a
series to be played by the teams for
the state championship The next game
will probably be played Lovelock
Elko is also claiming ct ce to play
for the championship and is posi-
BILE that a tournament cen the
three teams will be arranged for an
early date.

WIHUJA AT WORN EIGHT
DAfS AFTER FIRE

The WihuJa resumed work on Tues
day morning with large force of men
after an enforced suspension of eight
days, occasioned by the destruction of
the entire plant by fire.
At the time of the fire Manager
Newman was In Reno in attendance at
court but he wired for the work of
clearing the ground and before the ma
chinery had cooled thirty men were on
the job.
By Friday night a new hoist had
been installed; a new gallows frame
built and Tuesday morning, with an
entirely new equipment the Wihuja
was hoisting ore.
1t is not believed that the old ma
chinery is seriously damaged and the
loss to the company is not as great as
was first supposed.
The kindergarten mill is again run-
ming on Wihuja ore and the clean ap
will fully equal those which have been
made before.-Seven Troughs Miner,

Sundays San Francisco Chronicle;
That a commission of eminent engi-
neers and transportation officials has
been engaged for some time in prepar-
ing the plans for the use of electricity
in place of steam as the motive power
ON the mountain division of the South
ern Pacific is the announcement that
was made last night by Julius Krutsch-
nitt. the director of maintenance and
operation of the Southern Pacific lines.
Although the man who is next to
Hartman insists that his trip to the
coast at this time is prompted by ron'
tine matters in his department, he ad'
mitted last night that he plans for
the substitution of electricity for
steam, on a part of the lines in this
state, had practically been determined
upon.
"We have had a commission work
ing on this problem for some time,
Krutschnitt said. ''Since this com
mission first began it work three have
been many improvements in motor de
vices, so that if we were to order our
equipment now it would be of superior
efficiency to what could have been Sc
cured when the commission took up
the study.
"The membership of the commission
is made up from representatives of the
different departments of the road and
consulting engineers.
"The plans for the use of electricity
are being carried out Independently
of the plans for the tunnel. That will
be to reduct the grades; the use OF
electricity as a motive power will in
crease the capacity of the line. The
snow sheads have not presented any
particular difficulties in the substitu
ton of electricity for steam, and the
improvements that have been made in
the types of motors since the commits
sion began its work have been en-
couraging.
just how much of the road in the
state will be equipped for the use of
electric power Krutschnitt refused to
state, saying that further improve
ments and new inventions might change
the plans before they were put into
effect.

RICH PLACERS IN
LITIGATION

The case of Victor III. Hills, plant
| iff, VS.. G. l.. Ames ct al, defendants,
was argued yesterday in the U. S.
circuit court before Judge Harrington
on defendants motion to dismiss for
want of jurisdiction. The attorneys
of record for plaintiff are Messrs. Mil
Ter, White & Mclaughlin and Judge
Shims, of Sacramento, Messrs. Hender-
son & Levers, p. A. McCarran and
Messrs. Dodge & Barry Of Reno. The
attorney for the defendant is II.
Warren, of Winnemucca. The case
was submitted ON defendants motion
and plaintiffs allowed ten days to file
briefs. The court intimated that the
motion to dismiss would be allowed un-
less new evidence could be produced
disputing defendants facts.
The hearing of defendants motion
to dissolve injunction was continued
to August II, pending the courts de-
termination on defendants motion to
dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
The contest for the rich placers OF
Rockhill is being also vigorously prose-
cuted in the state courts, where Mr..
Hills is defendant. The prospect of a
speedy determination of the several ac-
tions will do much to quiet the existing
conditions at Rockhill, where there has
been much violence growing out of the
contention. The ground involved has
been worked for many years; first by
John Ross, then by the Chinese and af
terwards by Reuben Battles, who con-
tracted sale to G. l.. Ames and 9th
ers. In 1907 the ground was re-
located by Jas. l.. McCulloch, who
claimed the assessment work had not
been done for the previous year. Mr..
Hills, who is resident of San Jose,
acquired whatever title he has by
reason of the McCulloch relocation.
At the present hearing in the circuit
court the plaintisff IS attorneys asked
for continuance, which the court de-

decision handed down bv the sp.
preme court Saturday in the case of
Lucille Bailey, as administrators of
the San Pedro and Los Angeles rail
road reverses an order of the district
court and settles much-mooteH
question in regard to the granting of
letters of administration to non-resi
dents. The supreme court held that
letters OF administration cannot be
granted to non-residents and indi-
Gated that the letters of administra
tion granted to Mrs. Bailey should be
revoked.
The circumstances of the case were
that Claude Bailey, an engineer for
the San Pedro road, was killed in an
explosion of his engine at Arden Spur,
Lincoln county, on August IL, 1907.
He left widow and two children re-
siding in San Barnardino county, Cali
fornia, and at the time of his death
was himself resident of that county
Shortly after his death his widow
made application for letters of az
ministration in the district court set
ting up that her husband left in ad
dition to few personal enects claim
for damages against the San Pedro
road.
Tn granting the letters as prayed for
in opposition to counsel for the rail
road company Judge Pike stated that
in his opinion, Mrs. Bailey, being q
nonresident, was not entitled to the
letters, but that as it had been the
custom in this county to grant letters
to on-residents in eases of this kim
he would grant the letters with the
understanding that the case should be
taken to the supreme court.
After the letters were granted Mrs
Bailey brought suit against the Sar
Pedro road for damages in the amount
of $S4 900 When the ease was called
for trial on the date set the plaintiff
was unable to secure the witnesses
needed and the case was dismissed
without ejudiee.-Gazette

morning, with Chairman Blattner,
Commissioners Stoker and McDeid in
attendance.
Outside allowing the months bills,
the commissioners found but itt,c
to do.
The bond of Justice Of the Peace
Gilray, of Chafey, was accepted.
At 10 O'Clock this morning the CON-
missioners took up the matter Of the
Lovelock sewer bonds. There having
been no bids submitted, postpone
ment of the subject was taken until
10 o'clock this afternoon and negotia-
tions opened with the First National
bank of Winnemueca. Interviewed on
the subject this afternoon by . repre-
sentative of the Silver State News,
Cashier Sheehan said:
"From bankers standpoint these
bonds are not particularly attractive,
owing to the fact that two mature and
are payable each year. We did not
bid on them, however, for the reason
that it was rumored that Lovelock
parties wished them. When we learn
ed that no bids had been received We
took the matter up, with the result
that we shall probably submit bid Of
par and accrued interest.
The bonds are in denominations Of
$500, bear interest at the rate of six
per cent, payable annually, and bear
date April 6, 1903.
The commissioners will finish their
labors and adjourn this evening.
