F. BROCKLISS
HAS ACCIDENT

Frank Brockliss, former district
attorney Of this county, narrowly
escaped instant death last Satur-
day while temperorially filling the
position of engineer at the Pine
Nut Consolidated Mining COM
pany's mill. The Brockliss traction
engine is at present being used at
the mill and Frank turned the
steam into the cylinder and the
engine, standing on center, did not
start. Without thinking of the
possible danger, Mr.. Brockliss took
firm grasp on the fly wheel and
turned it over. The engine started
with such speed he could not let
go the wheel soon enough to avoid
the accident and was thrown a.
gainst post several feet away
with great force. Fortunately
however, his shoulder and not his
head struck against the post or he
would have probably been killed.
Aside from being bruised and
shaken up he escaped unhurt.

JOHN PHILLIPS
Meets DEATH

By mistep John Phillips, presi-
dent of the Pittsburg-Liberty Min
ing company. fell down a shaft at
the company's property in Masonic
last Saturday and was instantly
killed.
He was looking over some work
there with the superintendent, and
q contractor who had finished the
job when he lost his footing and
feel $50 feet to the bottom of the
shaft. Examination of the body
disclosed the fact that but one rib
was broken but the end of the
broken bone had pierced his heart.
The remains Of the unfortunate
man were taken through Gardner
vile to Carson Sunday morning.
He leaves a wife and six children
the youngest being but ten
months of age, to mourn his death.
John Phillips was we'll known in

RUSHING WORK
ON RESERVOIR

Work on the Mud Lake dam and
reservoir IA progressing very rapid
ly. Contractor Geo. Whitney has
about twenty-five men at work
and fifty head of horses, and q
steam shovel is being used in
raising the dam, which is about
quarter OF mile wide.
At the beginning of work this
year the reservoir had capacity
of about 40 acre-feet. The new
work being done this summer will
increase this capacity to about
500 acre-fest or more than seven
times the present capacity. The
outlet box stood about six feet
above the water atl the beginning
OF work this spring but when the
reservoir is filled with water next
spring this outlet box will be eight
feet under water, making . total
raise of about IA feet in the dam.
In speaking of these improve
ments this week VIM. Dresslsr
said: This water will all be used
on the plaza lying to the south
and west of Gardnerville. Next
year all land will be put under
cultivation for which | have water.
OF course the capacity of the reser-
voir will not be large enough to
water all of my land, but | hope
to keep at it and eventually in
crease the Mud Lake reservoir and
build others until | have all the
water needed. 1t takes pile of
money to do this work and one
individual has to go q little slow.
1t cannot all be done ia a day"

The Fields of Peace.

It was the belief of the ancient Egyptians. according to a recent writ CT, that everything, material and inn material, had its immortal double. Out of this grew the idea of life in the future state of perfect happiness in the fields of peace" For a long time the common people regarded these fields of peace" not as a celestial place, but as situated in the fertile and well watered regions of the Nile delta in the northwest of Egypt, where the blessed ever breathed the cool north wind. Here they lived an ideal form of their life upon earth. They plowed their fields and grew the grain which supplied them with the "bread which grew not stale and beer that never became sour." Here was situ- ated the duplicate of their earthly towns or villages.

His Yisfts to the Earl.

There Is a well known English bishop who writes very bad hand. This bad hand caused a sad error to happen some years ago. A young clergyman had written to the bishop to inquire about a vacant curacy, and the reply that the young man got informed him that the salary was small and the work difficult. But there was one mitigating circumstance. The incumbent, among his other duties, would visit the earl every morning and spend two hours there. The curate would have rejected the post but for the daily visit to the earl. That attracted him. There would, no doubt, he told himself, be many fashionable dinners to which he would naturally be invited. He would make many friends among the rich and powerful. These friends would be able to help him in his career. The earl, perhaps, had daughters. One of them who knows?-stranger things had happened. And so the curate accepted the difficult and poorly paid curacy to discover on his first visit to the town that he had misread the bishops letter and that his daily two hours visit was not to the earl, but to the jail.

TELLING ADDRESS AT Y. NJ. c. A.

The new plan for Sunday afternoon at the association is continuing popu- lar. and yesterday was one of the best. The opportunity of going to the build ing immediately after dinner and list ening to a good orchestra is proving attractive. The speaker was MT. Will liam A. Dewitt. of Yale. and he made a strong plea for a clean strong life and told the most interesting and dra- matic story of the nephew of an ex- president of the United States as an illustration. This young man whS spent some time living at the White House during the term of his uncle, Chester A. Arthur was a graduate of the University of Virginia but lost his grip and not only was down and out but became a criminal. His faith er gave him S1, 900 and told him to go as far away as possible and not come back. This started disgraceful career, but he was reformed through the Jerry McCauley mission in New York. To- day he is giving all his time to heIeing other college men, speaking in all the large universities of the country and helrfrg hundreds of discouraged men back to upright living. He gave other illustrations of how even the weakest can become strong.
 The music was very good, the work of the uuartette especially being en- loved The members of the quartette were Messrs. William Seabridge. Joseph Barber, Sidney Hellings and Geo. R. Card The speaker for next Sunday will be MT. Don O. Shelton.

 "I'll take a sailor along with me the next time I buy a marine painting," said a millionaire. ''I bought two ma- rines last month, and yesterday my old friend Captain Salthorse had a look at them.
 "Salthorse said:
 Tn this first picture we've got 8 trading schooner in charge of a tug towing away from a rock bound coast through a fearful tumble of sea. The schooner's maintop mast is gone, and all sails are lowered except her stay sail, which is kept hoisted, though she is towing head on to the gale. Why that hoisted staysail? All hands, I suppose, are drunk.
 Tn the second picture,' continued Captain Salthorse, the principal boat, an eighteen footer, is racing, yet has no flag flying. That's as incorrect as 1t would be for you to go to a dinner party minus shirt. The crew of this boat are getting in the spinnaker, and, if they lower away, both spinnalxer and boom will be in the water, for they have neglected to let the boom go for ward. But know what the trouble is with them. They, too, are drunk '"-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

GREAT CRITICS PRAISE WORK
 OF MISS CURTIS

Miss Vera Cameron Curtis, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. John c. Curtis of this city, scored a musical triumph Saturday afternoon, in New York, by her work as the Mother, the Sand man. and the Dew Man, in the Fairy opera, "Hansel & Gretel." The occa- sion was the New York Symphony concert for young people, Frank Dam rosch, director. Carnegie Hall was filled with a large and enthusiastic audience. As showing in what company Miss Curtis was judged it should be known that Gretel was sung by Mime. Lillian Blauvelt, Hansel, by Mrs. Edith Chapman Gould, the Witch, by Miss Josephine Schaffer and The Father, by MT. Weld. The chorus was composed of one hundred little children trained by E.. Marquand. The full New York Symphony society accompanied, which made a delightful and fascinating en- tertainment.
 Reginald De Koven, critic of the New York World. says that Miss Curtis proved her versatility in being able so efficiently to gil three roles. MT. Knabel, critic of the New York Tri- bune, says that Miss Curtis singing was efficient and delightful.
