les while witnessing the production in

cessive laughter induced by t1e clever
acting and ludicrous situations, il
seems, brought on violent paroxysms
of hysteria from which he cannot OBJ
tain relief. For this reason the man

at the Bennington performance a spec
ialist on hysteria from New York in
constant attendance. His services
will be free of charge to all sufferers.
This company appears at the opera

HAS
SERIOUS MISHAP
Receives Charge Of Buckshot in
the Knee by Accidental DIS
charge Of Shotgun.

Martin Sarono, a sheep herder,
received a charge of buck shot in
the knee by the accidental dis
charge of shotgun in his own hands
last Sunday evening. He was in
charge of band of sheep at the
Barney Riley ranch on the Carson
river, IA miles south of Gardner
Vile. Sunday evening coyotes
were giving considerable trouble
to the sheep took his gun and made
his way towards the coyotes. In
passing over rocky point of the
hill, he lost his footing and fell
and the gun accidently discharged.
The injured man was alone at the
sheep camp, miles from help and
and but enc way to get hslp; to
walk to the nearest point. Weak
ened from the pain of the battered
bones of his leg and the loss Of
blood, Sarsro started on foot for
Gradnerville.
Through the darkness of night,
he slowly made his way from the
Riley ranch through Double
Springs flat to the county road.
On the injured man trudged, his
strength lastly leaving him when
out of the stiffness and darkness Of
the night came the sounds of an
approaching team. A few minutes
later the injured and almost ex-
hansted man found himself in the
wagon of Cordova, the we'll

ing from Wellington.
1t was just midnight when he
picked up his injured friend, who
for six hours had fought a courage
Gus battle for his life, feeling the
weakness slowly creeping over his
frame, fearing every moment that
he would drop from exhaustion and
become the prey of wild animals
before he would be found.
He was brought to Gardnerville
and after being given temporary
relief was placed on Mondays
train for San Francisco for treat
ment. 1t is thought that amputa-
ton will be necessary.

PLACER Mining
IN BUCKEYE
VERY PROFITABLE

Within few miles of Gardner
vile and in what is known as the
Buckeye mining district, a little
crew of men headed by Dick and
Jack Raycraft are placer mining
with great success. They have
been doing the same thing every
spring for years. the amount Of
work wholly depending on the flow
of water from the mountain. Last
winter the snowfall was unusually
heavy and consequently the sluic-
ing season at Buckeye this spring
has been of favorable duration.
The cleanups have been better than
ever before, according to reports
received from the placer diggings.
1t will be remembered that this
district at one time attracted the
famous Lane, and had it not been
for unsurmountable stumbling
blocks placed before him, the dis
trict would have been thoroughly
developed years ago. As it was
thousands of dollars were spent
acquiring water supply in Alpine
county, thirty miles distant
If an abundant water supply
was to be had without the need of
piping it twenty miles or more,
Buckeye today would be the most
thriving placer district in Nevada.

OF DOUGLAS
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

United States history, English,
Latin and German. We expect TO
cultural bookkeeping for the next
years work. The time devoted to
each subject has been forty minutes
per day and five times per week.
The University of Nevada has
given the Douglas County High
School full credit for the entire
thirteen subjects that have been
taught this semester and upon my
recommendation will allow three
years OF high school credit without
examination to any of our grad
yates who desire to enter the Uni
versity of Nevada. With the ad-
ditional number of subjects to be
taught next semester, the school
will be virtually ranked as a four
years high school and it's students
will receive the same recognition at
the University of Nevada as the
students of any other high school
in the state.
The object Of this high school
should be three-fold: to prepare
students to enter higher institutions
and be able to take up the pro-
fessions of medicine, teaching, law
and engineering without being re-

Gardnerville, Nevada, June Is.
Board of Education
Douglas County High School.
Dear Sirs:
The following is report of the
work accomplished in the Douglas
County High School forI the year
beginning with January Is, 1909,
together with the outlook for next
year and some recommendations;
The Douglas County High School
formally opened on January 18th,
1909 with an attendance of twenty
seven students, thirteen girls and
fourteen boys. School closed with
an attendance of eighteen, loss
of 33a per cent. This, believe, is
estimated as the average loss for
high school students in rural
schools in this country. The loss
is largely due to the custom that
has prevailed of Withdrawing
students for the spring work on the
farm. This loss will very probably
be dimished when farmers come to
realize that withdrawal from
school often means a repetition of
semester's work.
The following subjects we're
taught this semester: Algebra,
geometry, Greek, Roman and
add chemistry, physics and agri-

the others, was very ill.
This is the third death at the In

new MILL IS
ON THE GROUND
Bei,g Rapidly Placed in Position
and Entire Plant Will Soon
be Ready for Business.

The new 40-ton Centrifugal mill
ordered by the Pine Nut Consoli-
dated Mining company has at last
arrived and has been hauled to
the mine near Gardnervills by the
Jacobsen team and is being set in
place as rapidly as fourteen men
can work. Superintendent Emigh
is satisfied that the plant will be
ready to be put in operation by
July 1st.
The combined crushing weight
OF the new mill when loaded
will be $4,000 pounds, upon six
AZ inch wheels with steel tirea 5
inches wide weighing 460 pounds
each besides the weight OF the
wheel. The ore will pass through
the large breaker already installed
then to the ore bins and by gravity
to the mill and ON to the large
cyaniding vats.
The property is now equipped
with a very modern plant, capable
of handling 80 to 20 tons per day.
1t will lie possible to work ore as
low MS three dollars per ton in
value, at a profit.
