respective punches of cattle and at
tend to their vaccination. Incident
ally the boys will have jolly good

bring back a load of wood. If the
boys cant "make hay while the sun
shines" they can at least haul wood
for the winter.
Mrs. Emil Sommers and son Har.
ry have just returned from an extend
ed visit to Carson City where Mrs.
Sommers has greatly enjoyed being

EXCELLENT SHOWING OF
FIRST NATIONAL
BANK

The report of the First National
Bank of Lovelock shows that institut-
ion to be in an excellent condition.
Since the last report there has been
an increase in deposits of over 100000
and this bank is now carrying depos-
its close on to quarter of million
dollars.
This is remarkable showing in
view of the fact in view that in the
months just past, in all the banks of
the country there has been a steady
call for money for the harvesting of
crops, sheep shearing etc. When
the money from the sales of wool
and of crops begin to come in the
deposits rapidly amount up.
The Lovelock valley is in a pros
porous condition as shown by the
depoi:s at both the local banks.

WORKMEN DIGING ditch
UNCOVER SKELETON OF
AN EARLY DAY animal
Remains of Ferocious Wild Hog that Formely Roamed
the Lovelock Marshes, Uncovered in Town only "a
few feet below Surface of Ground

While digging trench for water
pipe at the residence Of John T. Reid
Monday afternoon, the skeleton of
some animal of an earlier period was
uncovered.
The skeleton was unearthed just in
the rear of Mr.. Reid's residence and
was but three feet under the surface.
The animal was evidently some spec
ie of the wild hog that roamed this
valley long before the advent of the
white man, and had died in the
maSzhes or lake edge that occupied
about the present position of the
town of Lovelock.
From the appearance Of the bones
the animal had evidently floundered
in the mud. The leg bones were
underneath the body indicating that
the animal had perished in an up
right posture. The size of the bones
indicated that the animal was about
three times as big as the ordinary
domestic hog. There was nothing
remarkable about the skeleton with
the exception of the head, which
Lovelock tribune. (Lovelock, Nev.) 1898-1912, 1910-07-14

showed the animal to have had an
enormous and formidable looking
mouth. The skull measures about IS
inches from the top to the end of the
jaw bones. The front teeth, four in
number above and below, stick out
almost straight while the tusks are a.
bout 4 inches long and half inch in
diameter. The incisor teeth are very
sharp while the molars are great
broad grinders an inch across. The
heavy jaws showed that with one bite
this animal could have cut off man S
leg. Although the bones were in a
fairly good state of preservation, il
has been estimated that they have
been under the ground for at least
$50 years.
Mr.. Reid has carefully preserved
all the bones intending at some fut-
ure date to present them to some
museum, and they will prove yalu-
able asset to any such institution,
showing as they do the type of ami
NAL that roamed this section of the
world several centuriei ago.

NOVELTY THEATRE PROVES
To Be POPULAR A
SHOW HOUSE

Attention is directed to the dis
play advertisement of the Novelty
Theatre in this ISSUE Lovelock was
without moving picture show for
years until the enterprising firm OLA.
Benedetti & Company put one in.
They have conducted it in a first
class manner and have given the pub
lie constant improvement in the ent-
ertainment afforded.
The patronage of the show house
has been good but the size of the town
of Lovelock is limited and therefore
the receipts Of the Novelty Theatre
have not been as large as city play
house of this character. Several
different people about the town have
talked of putting in moving pictures
since the Novelty started, it being
the opinion of these people that
money was to be made out of the
moving picture business here.
Two moving picture houses could
not exist in Lovelock for the patron
age would not be sufficient. If "a
mother should start up it would eth
er have to take the trade away from
the Novelty or fail and the people
have generous feeling for this pop
ular little show house for the reason
that it was the first to be established
and the first to make start in pro-
viding entertainment for Lovelock
people.

]. A. LANGWITH WILL
Be A CANDIDATE AT
The PRIMARY ELECTION

J. A. Langwith of Golconda an
nounces himself as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Dis
trict Attorney Of Humboldt county.
Mr.. Langwith is well known in Love-
lock Valley, and has wide circle OF
friends here, who will give him their
unstinted support, not only in the
Primary election but in the succeed
ing general election as well. His
election to the Republican nominal
ion is foregone conclusion, for his
decision to run as the Republican
nominee met with much favor in the
party and there has been no contest
ant to appear against him.
Humboldt County is fortunate in
the kind of men who are willing to
run for District Attorney, for the
three so far entered as tentative can
didates for the Office are all capable
attorneys. The contest for this Office
will undoubtedly be the closest Of
the election. Attorney Langworth
has many friends in the Democratic
party who secure his legal services in
private matters aid who will believe
him the right man for the public ser :
vice. Many years Of residence in
this county, during which time he
has built up reputation for legal
ability with abundant practice in the
administration of justice, has emf
nently fitted him to hold the Office to
which he aspires.

$4,000 CUBIC YARDS OF
EARTH CAPACITY
OF DREDGER

1t is stated by Manager Geo. W.
Dyke of the Federal Mines Company
who are now engaged in the erection
of giant dredger to work the pla.
Ger ground in Spring Valley, that
the big machine when properly equi.
pped and manned will handle abou,
6osooo cubic yards of placer ground
per month. Mr. Dyke came in from
Spring Valley on Monday and re-
turned on Tuesday in company with
Mr.. Gilbert, the secretary Of the
company who had just arrived from
Iowa.
Mr.. Dyke stated that work was
progressing steadily on the con-
struction of the dredger, but he was
uncertain just when it would be read
y to begin operations.
Work on the construction of the
dredger has been under way for sew
eral months, and several carloads
Of Lumber have been used. The
big dredger is the first of its kind to
be used in this section of the state.
There was dredger something like
this one formely used on the Carson
River.
The property owned by The Fed
eral Mines Company consists of man.
y acres of placer ground, and this
ground by careful analysis has been
found to average SO cents per cubic
yard in gold. With the capicity of
the dredger and the fact that with
such an output the work can be hs..l.
died by only twelve men indicate
that the Federal Mines Company
are in line to do some profitable
mining in Spring Valley.

Higher POLITICAL
HONOR IS SOUGHT FOR
BY E. A. QUICKER

The announcement of E. A. Duck
er, who is candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the Office OF
District Judge of the 9th. Judicial
District of the State of Nevada in
and for the county of Humboldt,
appears in this issue.
Since his entrance into Humboldt
County politics, Mr. Ducker has
made remarkable record, both as a
winning candidate when running for
office and as courteous and efficient
official when filling Office. His ma
jorities have been overwhelming in
every instance that he has come be-
for the people and this may be
attributed to confdenc in his in
tegrity and his pleasant and affable
nature. His regime in the Office of
District Attorney, during several
successive terms has been marked by
a careful attention to the duties of
the Office and by courteous treatment
of his constituents. His record in
the prosecution of criminals is one of
which he may we'll be proud, for it
is one of the best in the state.
There is large number of people
who believe that certain government
al evils in the county should be at
tackled through the District lAttorn-
ey's Office, but those who in this re-
spect see the duties Of the District
Attorney different than he sees them,
will admit that his Office has been
conducted in conscientious mann
er.
The friends of Mr. Ducker of
which there many in Lovelock vail
ey, predict that the result of the next
general election will show the custo-
mary overwhelming majority in fav-
or of Mr.. Ducker.
