FROM THE TRIBUNE FILES


never before during our residence in
Mineral Point, have we known the
prices for produce as high as at the
present time. Flour, we understand,
is selling for SO per hundred. Potatoes
have been sold in town during the past
week for 81 bushel. and most articles
of produce are equally high. Mineral
is worth from SPA to SOS thousand.
1t is hoped that something may be
done in this village toward erecting
suitable school-houses. 1t is fact
which reflects no great credit upon our
town that there is not a school house in
the place worthy to be called by that
name and our supervisors have been
compelled to rent a wagon shop in a
very unsuitable part of the town to be
occupied as a school room. Let some
thing be done in the way of building a
school house that will be credit to
the village as well as an improvement
upon the plan of slowing away children
in building that humane man would
be unwilling to occupy as a stable for
good horse.

here at GAO tonight with District
Attorney Woodburn of Washoe Co..
New, and Chief of Police Burke of
Reno, for that city.
There she will probably be charged
with performing criminal abortion
in conjunction with DR.. Frederick H.
Wichman on the body of Mrs. Emma
Ross, who died three days later from
second operation.
A complete confession was secured
from Mrs. Talbot by the Nevada au-
thorities in the Office of police head
quarters to-day The woman admit
ted that she had assisted at the oper-
alton, and that she had attempted to
destroy the evidence on advice of the
accused physician, DIR. Wichman.
She stated that she was coerced by
Wichman, however, and that the
operation was performed against her
wishes. The second operation from
which the woman died was also per-
formed against Mrs. Talbot's judg
ment, she stated. and corroborated
the testimony of DIR. Wullschleger
in Reno, who declared that he re-
monstrated with Wicnman. but that
the latter insisted that the operation
be performed.
Mrs. Talbot was taken into Gus
tody yesterday on advices received
from the Reno authorities. She was
apparently en- route for Los Angeles
and had two minor children with her.
They are also leaving for Reno. The
party was placed in the house of de-
tention awaiting the Nevada author
tiles arrival.

CARSON RIVER HOLDS
MILLIONS OF LOSSES
Passing of Quartz Mills that Ground
Out Bonanza Bullion

By the passing OF the Brunswick
mill into the hands Of the new sme-
tier people the last relic Of the bonan-
"a days of the Comstock comes to a
close. The Brunswick mill is a 20
stamp milf of the old pan amalgama-
ton variety. Bob Logan. who acted
as superintendent for the last run on
the river. will have the distinction OF
having made the final cleanup OF
ores from the Comstock. AT the IL
nal run it was found that the game
was losing one and since that time
the big mill has been shut down.
Along side OF the mill is the last
string OF ore cars used in the trans
portation OF the rich rock from the
mines OF Virginia. These ore cars
are practically junk and it is doubt
full if they will ever turn another
wheel
The Brunswick mill was one oil
many that turned its tailings loose in
Carson River 1t is safe to say that
a million dollars worth OF tailings mas
been sent through the discharge into
the river where it is lost forever.
Many OF the mills along theCa rson
put in failing ponds and since cya-
nide became practical many fortunes
have been taken from the refuse. IN
the case OF the Brunswick it is
straight loss.
Some years ago a dredging ma
chine was placed on the river below
Dayton in the hopes Of recovering
a portion OF the fortunes in quicksil
yer and amalgam that had been sent
from the string OF mills on the river
above Dayton. The dredger failed 10
pick up the values mainly from the
fact that the river was too rough and
the many crevasses formed in the
river bottom held the values away
from the point where the dredger
could operate. There is no question
as to the vast amount OF values that
are lodged in the Carson River but
no one has been able to gather it up
at profit.
People forget the vast amount OF
milling that went on along the Car
son River. At one time there were
nearly 500 stamps dropping and in
most cases the tailings were being

Young Man

Swinging from the step OF number

that the train passed over his left

IMMENSE CROWD SEES
HARVARD-yALE GAME
Ideal Foot Ball Weather and
Both Teams in Fine FettIe
for Battle.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. November 49,
The eyes of 10000 intensely enthusiastic
spectators were focused today on some
5000 square yards Of chalk zlined turf
on Yale Field, where Yale and Harvard
struggled once more for the foot ball
championship of the country. Seldom in
the history of the game which these two
colleges introduced into this country in
the early los has interest been aroused
to such degree. and never have there
been quite so many questions to be set
tied as in tOday's game. Fully as i'm
portant as the outcome of the game to
the minds of many was the question
whether the latest notifications of the
Rugby game are practical and shall
stand. From the Yale side of the field
came the query whether team such as
has been turned out at New Haven this
year, which suffered many bitter re-
verses, could gather sufficient speed and
skill in its later days to wrest victory i'm
its supreme test.
Close students of foot ball came here
today eager for a glimpse of the new
formations. new lines of strategy, new
problems to be met and mastered in a
few seconds. 1t was ideal foot ball
weather both for players and spectators.
The November air had it's customary
else.
There was very little wind early i'm
the day, while the night had not been
severe enough to bring FROST and even if
1T had the Yale management was fully
prepared, and the gridiron was protected
with straw.
Both teams spent the night among the
foothills of the state, far away from ex-
element, and did not come to the city
until nearly noon. Every man was re-
ported to be in the fittest condition, ready
and eager for the game of his life.
The foot ball crowd reached New Haven
mostly by rail. Nearly forty special
trains rolled into the station, while a
score of private specials from both New
York and Boston, together with many
private cars. were sidetracked in the
freight yards. Automobiles brought in
thousands more
The main spectator army advanced on
the city just before noon. and, snatching
hasty bite at some lunch place, headed
for the field and the game.
Since 1880 Yale has beaten Harvard
in twelve games, the Crimson has won
four and two have been scoreless ties
In the last contest OH Yale Field two years
ago Harvard won by single field goal,
to o.
