Not Pleased With Senate.

A story has been circulating in the
press of the state that has to do with
the matter in which Governor Dicker-
son replied to the representatives of
the Assembly and the Senate when
they reported to him that they were
ready to adjourn.
The representatives of the Senate
were first to appear and the spokes-
man of the party made a speech to the
Governor and reviewed to considerable
length the work that had been done by
the legislature and then stated that
their labors were completed and that
they were ready to adjourn sine die.
The Governor listened in silence as
his usual custom until the orator had
concluded his remarks and then said,
"You tell the Senate I'm -
glad of it. Carson News.

NEW TOWNSHIP IS FILED.
Another Camp Added to Chur-
chilPs List of Camps. Is
in Rich District.

C. G. Walker and w. L. Rope, prom
oters of the new townsite of Aspen,
were before the county board Of COM
missioners Monday with plat Of there
townsite, which they sought to have
approved. 1t is understood that when
Messrs. Walker and Rope have com
piled with certain conditions that official
approval will follow.
Mr.. Walker informs this paper that
Aspen is a camp of particular promise,
and is located about 90 miles from Fal-
Ion in the southeast corner Of Chur-
chill county. Ore showings to date
have been phenomenal, values as high
as $261 having been encountered on the
surface. Vein erosion has enriched to
the dirt to such an extent that it is be-
ing sacked and shipped, Walker and
Rope have pursued the work Of de-
termining the value of the district
since last July and only recently have
they made public the news of their
find. Now, according to Mr. Walker,
the little camp has about thirty people
as a neueleus, around which they ex-
pect to build large and prosperous
camp. A saloon, reoming and eating
houses have already been established,
and general merchadise store Is be-
ing installed by Fl. W. Bruner, former
ly of Phonolite.
Messrs. Walker and Rope have To-
Gated ten claims, three of which are
being worked by leasers. Assays
show surface enrichment, cover
territory large enough 10 warrant the
building Of a large and prosperous
camp. Wood and water are easily ac-
cesable, the latter being found in
springs three miles distant from AS
pen. It Is proposed 10 pipe this into
town for distribution. 4 number Of
lots nave been sold subject to The ap-
provai Of the plat, according to Mr.
Walker, and others have been spoken
for. 1t is expected that q rush Of
considerable proportions will ensue
within the next thirty days The new
camp expects to draw upon the popula-
tion of Rawhide and other nearby
camps for part of its population, and
already an effort is being made to
move the post office from Phonolite to
Aspen, which if successful, will add
materially to the prestige of the new
camp.

Nevada Hills Mine

The Nevada Hills mine at Fairview
is being further developed by a force
of 20 men. The principal vein, which
is fissure in the andesite, is opened by
a 400-foot shaft and three cross-cut
adits, which, with the drifts and wines
aggregate about 5000 feet of work.
The ore consists of quartz carrying
free gold, sulphide and chloride of sill
yer occurring in shoots and chimneys at
the intersection of the main vein with
cross-issues. The dividends paid by
the Nevada Hills in the last three
years amount to 1915, 000. Some ex-
perimenting has been done in the way
of tests by concentration and cyanide,
with the view of milling the lower
grade ore Among the men interested
in this mine are w. V. Rice, j. r.
Davis, j. A. Kirby, j. T. Hodson, w.
H. Clark and w. H. Webber, the last
named being the manager.

A RICH STRIKE IS MADE.
A Rich Strike is Made in the
Mount Anne District by
by Jake Gregg.

Leon Cirac, of Saltwater, was in
Fallon last Friday. He brought news
of phenomenally rich strike made re-
Gently in the Mount Anne district by
Jake Gregg. According to Mr.. Cirac,
assays have been had from the ore
encountered running as high as Sl35
and being nearly uniform in richness,
the average being around 500. Mr..
Cirac says it is the best surface show
Ing he ever saw in his entire mining ex-
perience. Mr.. Gregg is now down
about 25 feet, and is working in a 5
foot ledge of 500 rock. Already he
bas something like 20 tons of ore on
the dump that will go around this fig
ure.
Mr.. Gregg has been offered $5, 900
in cash and another 5000 in thirty
days if he would part with quit claim
deed to his interests in his find but he
thinks he has treked over oar hills un-
til he has larger account marked up
against good fortune than the offer con-
tains. George Gregg and Richard
Desmond, brother and brother-in-law
are interested with Mr.. Gregg in this
discovery, and Tom Kenyon, Van Eli
oft, and Cirac brothers are among
tho'e who were fortunate enough to
have located adjoining claims.
The scene of this strike is well with
in Churchill County, it being located
six miles northeast of the Eagleyille
mill.

duet on the piano and after plodding
through several measures of music stop
ped and quarreled about the time and
the number of beets that snould mark
off each measure. Mrs. Williams was
triumphant in her contentious that five
beets were the proper number as quart
measure was produced from behind the
piano that had this number of beets of
the garden variety within it. The

Water Payment Controversy.

A large portion of those who hav
filed on lands under this project have
been surprised by receiving from the
Carson City Land Office a special no
tice that two payments were now due
on account of Construction Charge,
that failure to pay any two when due
render an entry subject to eancella-
ton and that failing 70 pay one of the
said installments the matter would be
reported to the Commissioner of the
General Land Office for further action
IN accordance with law.
The matter was discussed at last
Saturdays meeting Of the Truckee-
Carson Farmers Association. 1t ap-
peared that there is some mistake on
the part OF the Government for it has
been the understanding Of those fling
subsequent 10 June 10, 1907 and of the
local Reclamation Officials as well as
these SO filing would not be finally de-
linquent in payment until DecembeY

The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on Relations with. the Govern
ment consisting Of Messrs. osgood,
MaaGregor, and Hancock, with the di-
rectlcn that Il e@taadsaeh aid as posi-.
bic o ihose affected.by the notice in adj

ment To contest the matter it is necs
esasary to make formal protest on
the ruling before the expiration of
the thirty days. The committee has
called meeting TO take place Monday
April Y, at 1850 p m. and invites all
those affected by the ruling in question
to meet with the committee for the
purpose Of discussing the situation and
of fixing up the appeals of those who
have not yet attended to the matter
and who desire aid. The appeal must
be swcrn to before notary public and
Mr.. H. w. Marean has promised to
be present and vii FIX up all papers
that evening without charge. 1t is al
so hoped that Mr.. Means may be pres
ent to confer with those interested.
A letter in circular form has been
drawn up which with individual varia-
tion probably meets the case of all.
Any who received notice from the
Land Office dated Mar. 18th, or earlier
it would be best not 10 wait for the
meeting but to attend to the matter
personally to conform with the lines of
the letter mentioned above. There is
little doubt but what the matter will
be adjusted but every one should be
careful to make formal appeal from
the notice of the local land office.

A BIG CONTRACT TO Be LET.
A Contract Involving Many
Thousand Dollars to be
Let Soon.

j. b. Daniel, general manager of the
the Nevada Wonder Mining Company,
is advertising in the Reno Journal for
bids for the hauling of 150 tons of piping
material from Fallon to Wonder and
distributing of the same from Wonder
to Sage Hen Canyon. near Mount Grant
a distance of about ten miles. Also for
the clearing of the right of way, digging
trenchesand installing the water system.
The bid involves the expenditure of a
good many thousand dollars, and will be
awarded May 1st.
Other information other than that
contained in the proposals for bids,
would Indicate that Mr.. Daniels COM
pany, which is financed by prominent
New Yorkers, proposes to erect large
mill in Wonder to treat the ores of Ne
vada Wonder Mine and that in all some
thing like SEQ tons of machinery will
be moved from this place, before the
contemplated Improvements are COM
pleted. In this event it is figured that
over $40, 900 will be disbursed to team
sters alone for the mere hauling.
II is said that the site selected for
the mill is in solid rock and that the
excavation entailed will be difficult and
expensive. Mr.. Daniels proposes to
have his mill on a solid foundation.
The power for the operation of the
plant will come from oil. 1t will re-
quire something like ten barrels of oil
daily to develop one hundred horse

1t now appears that the supporters
of the anti-pambling movement in Ne
7ya5a managed to work ''nigger" into
2 the bill that will prevent the gamblers
referring the law to votc of the peoa

when there is desire to refer a law

selection print the question to be voted
upon in the papers Of the state, and
that petitions must then be filed with
the Secretary of State calling upon
that officer to place the question on the

will be almost an impossibility to fulfill

LET THE CHILDREN BOOST.
A Warehouse Proposition is
Launched By The AS
sociation.

The Promotion Committee, of Ia
coma, Washington, has hit upon a nov
ell plan to arouse interest IN their city.
Over 400, 900 letters have been written
to date by the children of that city to
outside addresses telling their childish
impressions of the region, and why
they like to live there. In that coun-
try of marvellous fertility and wonder
full summers, they have everything
that appeals to the childish mind;
beautiful flowers and ferns and other
vegetation, limpid brooks and land
scape that challenges admiration. 1t
occurs to US that such plan could be
invoked with great success in connec-
tion with this section. While the beau
ties of nature are radiant in the great
northwest throughout certain periods
of the year, still during considerable
portion of tho year, Jupiter Pluvius
works over time, the sun is obscurred
sometimes for months by the ocean
fogs, and withal there are many who
crave just such climate as we have,
full of sunshine and ozone and free
from the objectional features Of the
coast sections.
And beside this we have manifold ad-
vantages which If told in the manner
of the child's thoughts would appeal
to all who read. Here we have the
sun of the Yuma project without
the heat; skies of elearest light; val.
ley At or the development of race
of the land, strong in
mind and body. for vigor alone can
come from such climates as we have.
Isn't there some way to provide
means for our children to assist In
publicity campaign? What think you,
grown ups and children? This paper
would appreciate letters on this subject
locking toward the arousing of interest
in the matter.
