The farmer, ifhe only knew
it, is a little nearer the king
dom of heaven than anyone
on earth. He is certain of
three square meals a day and
is the only man who can fence
himself in and live in spite of
the rest of mankind. A few
cattle and sheep and fowl
provide him with food and
clothing, while his fields yield
him -four and a source of
revenue. So generous are
these provisions and SO COM
mon, that hardly one farmer
in ten makes an account of
them, although the ordinary
business man thinks he has
done we'll when he reaches
the end of the year and finds
that he has a little more than
made ends meet.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Washburn People Should Learn t(
Detect the Approach OF Kidney
Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
execrete thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation
of scalding. The back aches con-
stantly, headaches and dizzy spells
may occur and the victim is often
weighed down with feeling of Ian
guor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is. danger of
dropsy, Bright's disease, or diabetes.
Any one of these symptoms is warn
ing enough to begin treating the
kidneys at once.
You can use no better remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's
Washburn proof.
Mrs. J. W. Biechfeld, Fourth st :,
Washburn, Wis, says: 81 have
used Doan s Kidney Pills and found
them to be just recommended, l
was troubled by disordered kidneys
for some time. I had dizzy spells,
felt languid and the kidney secret
ions were very unnatural. l fiji ally
procured Doan,s Kidney Pills lat
Frost's drug store and began their
use. They removed the pain in my
back and am now feeling better in
every way"

TRACTION ENGINES SUCCESS
New Type OF Freighting Wag-
on To Be Added To
Equipment.

The Wonder Mining Company's
traction engines arrived at Wonder
with their load the last of the week,
having consumed something more than
a week on the trip. Ordinarily with
good roads the trip will be made in less
than three days, according to those
operating the machines, but the first
trip was delayed largely by enforced
road work. Rocks had to be removed
and in some instances the road had to
be widened, but future trips will be
given over more to travelling and less
to doing road work. In every particu-
lar, the engines are said to meet the
expectations of the Wonder Mining
Company's representatives.
Returning the engines showed bursts
of speed just to prove what they really
could do. Leaving Sand Springs Tues
day morning at 1890, a rate of five
miles per hour was maintained into
Fallon, arriving here shortly after four
on the afternoon of the same day. 1t
is said that the present wide tired
wagons will be discarded in favor of
ordinary freighting wagons.

P|UTE BUCK COMMITS SUICIDE
Concludes That Failure To Get
Along With Squaw Meant
Hunting Grou nd.

Charley Allen, Piute, brother of
Carson Allen. well known member of
the local tribe, was found dead at a
point near Saltwater Tuesday after
noon. The deceased Indians horse
was found tied nearby. At first it
was thought that Allen who had been
absent since the previous day, was the
victim of foul play or an accident, but
the coroner's jury empaneled yester-
day, found conclusive evidence of self
administered poison and verdict vas
rendered of suidide. 1t seems tn,
like attempt had been made couple of
years ago. The Piute, who was aged
about 25 years, had had trouble with
his wife and dependency over the
affair is said to have prompted him to
commit the act.
The funeral occurred from the Indian
school yesterday afternoon, being large
ly attended by the whites, by whom
the deceased was held in high est EN-.
Interment was in the Indion cemetery
on the reservation.

is equi-distant from Fallon and Love-
locks. Just now, work is at a stand
still, but D. G. Zinn, the manager, is
seeking to start operations again. and
he hopes to be able to get quartz mill
in operation at the mine during the
present year. Wood and water are
available and it is believed that more
tunneling will bring higher ore values.
j. d. Barlow, who is associated with
Oakland, California, capitalists, is
working down the gulch from Mr.. Zinn' s
property and has completed about 100
feet of tunneling. He is optimistic and
cannot see anything but success for
the Grizzly group.
The district seems to be more or less
dependent for future activity on what
the Coppereid people conclude to do
with their property where more than
$3.50, 900 have been expended in develop
ment work and a tunnel more than
half mile long has been driven into
the mountain. In addition to copper, a
large body of zinc is said to have been
uncovered in the Coppereid property.
While but brief mention can be made
of the districts, owing to limited space,
it is enough to know that Churchill
county has within its borders section
so rich in various forms OF mineral and
agricultural wealth. That it will soon
be developed cannot be doubted, for the
returns for industry and capital seem
sure and abundant.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW
Has Been Argued Before The
Supreme Court - Briefs
To Be Filed.
(From Tuesdays Journal.)

The argument on the constitutions
alitv of the direct primary law before
the supreme court at Carson occupied
all day yesterday and for several hours
at a night session, and was completed
shortly before midnight. Attorney
Boyd has 10 days in which to submit
reply briefs answering the reply to
the appellants opening brief, and the
case will now be submitted on the
briefs and argument.
The hearing attracted the largest
assemhlage ever had before the su-
preme court All the Carson attor-
news listened and several from out of
town and the townspeople occupied
every available chair. At the evening
session people sat out in the halls and
corridors, trying to catch the points
made.
Attorney L. A. Gibbons opened with
an extended argument occupying near
ly three hours. He was followed by
Senator Pyne, who defended his measure
and then came Attorney General Stod-
dard. Attorney Horatio Alling, Colonel
Harry Morehouse and Senator Boyd.
The members of the court listened
very closely, taking copious notes.
Justice Sweeney asked several ques-
tions concerning California authori-
ties cited, but the other members re-
manned silent for the most part.
The argument was made on the in
herent alleged defects of the law. The
power of the legislature to pass a pri-
mary law was not seriously questioned,
but it was asserted that the law be-
fore the court was too broad in its
effect, too loose in its construction,
and took away certain rights of the
people. This was strenuously denied
by the supporters of the enactment.

FALLoN, NEVADA. THURSDAY APRIL Is. 1910
The NEVADA HILLS MERGER
Has Been Completed And Plans
Now Look To The Quick
Development.

The Merger of the Fairview Eagle
and the Nevada Hills properties the
two biggest properties in the Fairview,
Nevada district was completed in Salt
Lake City yesterday. By the terms of
the merger the Nevada Hills, controlled
by James r. Davis of Goldfeld and
w. II. Weber of Salt Lake, absorbs
the Fairyiew Eagles, which is Wing
field property The capitalization of the
Nevada Hills company, now one million
shares of one dollar each. will be in
creased TO z, z10, 0G0 shares of like par
value, and the outstanding stock of the
Fairview Eagles will be traded in at
the rate of six shares of Eagles for
one share of Nevada Hills. The merged
company will b, called the Nevada
Hills Mining company. The Nevada
Hills assumes all The indebtedness of
the Eagles. George Wingfeld was
named as president of the new company.
The Consolidated gives the Nevada
Hills lao acres of ground in the heart
of the Fairview district, the two prop
critics being adjacent. Both of the
properties had large amounts of ore ex-
posed in the underground workings and
on the dumps enough now in sight to
justify the erection of mill of 100
or more tons capacity per day. The
Nevada Hills has been exploiting to
depth of 300 feet. Owing to the length
of haul to railroad, ore could not be
shipped with profit, and the merger is
for the purpose of enabling the con-
struction of mill at Fairview, which
will probably handle some custom ores
also. An extensive development cam
paign is being outlined. and the Fair
view district is now to be the scene of
much activity. From mining stand
point the deal is one of the most graf
flying that has been made in the state
of Nevada for the past six months or
more. The men at the head of the
company have reputation for extern
sive operations wherever they take hold
and as they have ample capital with
which to work, will lose no time in max
ing an important producer of the Fair
view district. Goldfeld News, Saturday

Land Leveling Over Fernley Way.

w. A. Hardy, of Fernley, came over
the last of the week and took in the
baseball dance. Guy Harmon accom-
panied him over, having completed his
leveling contract with Mr.. Hardy.
Something like 3s acres were leveled
and prepared for seeding by Mr.. Har-
mon in around 80 working days, an
average of better than an acre per day.
Mr.. Hardy's selection is more than
ordinarily rough, compared to the
average Fernley land, but is fertile
and will develop into fine ranch. He
expects to add 30 additional acres to
alfalfa this fall making
around 10 acres in all. Mr.. Hardy is
the type of young man, of which this
section stands in need of many, and we
trust that future immigration will add
liberal quote.

Wingfield And Webber Pass Through
FallOn.

George Wingfield and wife and W.
H. Webber passed through Fallon
Saturday in Mr.. Wingfield's car on
their way to Fairview. where Mr..
Webber is now attending to various
matters in connection with the develop
ment of the Nevada Hills properties.
Mr.. Wingield continued on to Buckhorn
and Smoky Valley in his auto to look
over his stock and mining interests in
the two localities. A large mill is be-
ing planned for Fairview, and during
brief pause here Saturday, Wingfeld
gave it out, so it is told, that the mill
would be completed within ninety days,
should electric power be available.
In this connection, it is not thought
that the Truckee chute power will be
utilized for considerably longer period,
and the Nevada Hills mill will be so
timed that it will be completed and
ready for operation at about the time
the power line is completed.
