LOST AUTO in
REESE River

Engulfed in the treaeberous quick
mud of Reese river, George Perkins
new high-powered automobile has sunk
completely out of sight, and up to a
late hour last night, no trace of il has
been discovered, says the State Journal
of Saturday.
The machine became stuck in the
slime of the stream which the driver
attempted to force it across the rivu.
le:, between East Gate and Austin, IN
Lander county. The occupants left
the machine and went for reinforce
ments, and returned to find the ear
vanished.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins and Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Rosenthal left Reno several
days ago on a trip to the Northum-
berland district, where the men have
mining property. The automobile Is
a brand new affair, of high power
and the apple of Mr.. Perkins eye.
The party were motoring down
Smoky valley, and were near Austin
when they were confronted by the
Reese river. This stream has caused
considerable trouble to the Eureka
and Palisade railroad, being dry about
ten months in the year, and having
subterranean channels, according to
engineers.
Squarely in the middle of the river
bed, where several inches of water
were eoursing merrily along over the
mud, the machine stopped short. The
occupants scrambled to the shore in
and hailed a Nevada Central
train, which took them to Austin.
There a four-horse team and several
men were hired and Messrs. Perkins,
and Rosenthal went back to where
they had left the machine. To their
they found no trace of the
heavy car. Poles were used as sound
ing rods to locate the machine, and
down through many feet of the
mud.
Mr.. Perkins says that there is no
doubt abou! the spot where the ma
chine was stuck, and that it is some
in the stream bed. He will
continue the search for it indefinitely.

Conforming to and going even fur
Their than the letter of the direct pri-
mary act Hon. Key Pittman, Demo
cratic choice for United States senator,
today submits his pledge TO abide by
the vote of the people and absolutely
insure :he election of the United States
senator by the Legislature according to
the result Of the election in November.
If there is a disposition on the part
Of any candidate to secure an election
by appeal to the members of the state
legislature contrary 20 the expressed
wishes of the people, such an intention
is absolutely repudiated by Mr.. Pitt
man so far as he is concerned and in
stating his position first he has re-
moved all doubt as to she sincerity of
his action.
The statement is as follows:
Reno, New, Sept. IL, 1910.
To the Citizens of the State of Nevada:
Apparently some uncertainty and
doubt exist in the minds of nam vot.
ers as to The purpose and effect of
that part of the direct primary law
relative to the election of United
States senators.
Being a candidate on the Democratic
ticket for that honorable and import
ant office and seeking the suffrage and
support of all our citizens, / feel that
it is my duty to publicly and unequivo-
cally declare my construction and
stand on that part of the law.
The constitution of the United
States prescribes that United States
senators shall be elected by the state
legislatures, and the members of leg
islatures cannot be deprived Of this
privilege without amending she con
stitution. Such an amendment will
undoubtedly lie adopted in the near
future, as two-thirds Of the states of
the union have endorsed the amend
ment and requested thai it be submit
ted to the people. Our state legisla
ture has unanimously declared in ia
vQr of such amendment and all par
ties in our state have heretofore in
their platforms demanded that United
senators be elected by the di-
rect vote of the people and have pledg
ed the members of their respective
parties to the support of such prince
pie.
While the Legislature capn1t be de
without such amendment. Of

NATIONAL BULLION Is NOW
GOING TO REFINERY BY MAIL

The fact that The Miner has ceased
TO chronicle The shipments of bullion,
formerly made by automobile under
heavy guard from the famous property
of the National Mining Company of
Nevada. has aroused the curiosity Of
MANY people on the outside who have
been intensely interested in reading OF
such events in the past. Inquirers wish
to know whether or not the shipments
are being made no longer.
To set at rest the apparent fears OF
the curious, which is really pleasing to
the people of the National, The Miner
is happy to state that no let-up has
taken place in the shipments, but not
bv automobile and under company
guard. Uncle Sam and an European
insurance company have relieved Presl-
dent John f. Pelton of the care OF see
ing that the bullion produced by his
famous property is safely conveyed TO
the government minis.
Under the new arrangement, Presl-
dent Pelton is sending the bullion to
government institutions in four pound
bars by registered mail and fully IN
sured. at less cost than its transporta-
ton by automobile to Winnemucca and

NEVADA CON. WORKS
in NATIVE COPPER

ELY. Sept. %. For some days past
one of the steam shovels at the copper
nit of the Nevada Consolidated has
been scooping up ore full OF crystalized
native copper which is a beautiful slght

ore i abort ten feet in width ana IS
situated near the south side Of the plg
nit. Of course there is a matrlx WAN
the sspure q%uill,'' but as a whole the
ore is Of high grade, and will waterway
sweeten the low grade sulphide ores
which furnish the principal tonnage
from the big pit.
During a portion of the present
month five furnaces have been running
At the steptoe smelter, which pfesages
AN unusually large output of copper tof
the present month, but the tonnage OF
GRO treated will in all probability be

then by express to the minis formerly
entailed. The responsibility of Presi-
dent Pelton ceases when the bullion Is
turned we to the local postmaster.
Although the shipments of bullion
from the property of the National
Mining Company of Nevada during the
last few months have been of great
magnitude, it is just now entering upon
an era of production that will unques-
tionably make its previous records fade
into insignifcance. The newly in
stalled t~hirty-ton daily capacity Lane
slow-speed mill, after being closed down
for a short time TO permit of necessary
adjustment, disclosed by the prelimi-
nary run of several days, went into
permanent commission on Monday.
While the first and second classes of
picture-r rock will be given the right of
way the new plant will treat all
grades of ore. That the amount of bull
lion shat it will turn out in the future
will be nothing short of marvellous
cannot be questioned. An addition to
the mill building is being made at this
time to permit of the immediate in
stallation of two large concentrating
tables.-National Miner.

&. D. P. COUNTY
COMMITTEE IS
ORGANIZED

The permanent organization of the
Republican County Committee was es-
tablished yesterday afternoon. when the
newly elected members of that BODY met
for the first time. The meeting was
called to order by Warren Hauser of
Rawhide, who was selected as tempo
rary chairman. All credentials were
submitted to him for approval.
The meeting then proceeded to per-
manent organization, and j. p. Dom
nelly, a member of Sheriff Bradley Is
force, was elected permanent chairman.
L. +. Adamson was elected permanent
secretary. The executive committee as
selected by the organization is as fol
lows: ]. f. Bradley, f. X. Collins,
William Ballantyne, c. II. Beesley and
j. p. Donnelly. All of the members of
the executive committee reside in Gold
field. The Republicanism of George
Springmeyer, who is the party candi-
date for attorney general of Nevada,
was questioned by the "machine' ele-
ment which dominates the party in Es-
meralda county. J.. +. Douglas re-
quessed a statement from Mr.. Spring
as to whether or not he intend
ed to support the entire Republican
ticket. After a long discussion the lat
ter stated that his campaign for the
would be along the same lines
as that conducted by him for the nomi-
and that he would support the
full Republican ticket.
1t was the boast of the "Nixonites"
and "stand- patters' on the street last
that they had thoroughly sub
dued the belligerent candidate for the
attorney-generalship, and that he had
been forced into line. Whether they
have accomplished this fact remains to
be seen.

are as follows:

Some Random Thoughts.

We present this week some
thoughts on forest preservation. In
some sections where nearly all the
land is cleared and the remaining
woodlots never have a sufficient ac-
cumulation of litter to burn. there
Is little need to consider fires But
in the pine land sections, where the
pine straw furnishes abundance Of
fuel, or where, after the timber has
been cut, dense growth of broom
sedge springs up and with the tops
make the hottest kind Of fires, pro-
lection from fire is a problem that SO
far does not seem to be anywhere
near solution. What legislation is
needed or will do any good if enacted
into law Is beyond the ken of most
of us who have given any thought
to the matter. With our statute
books filed with laws that are never
enforced, nor even attempted to be
enforced. what good to enact more
law to be a dead letter? The anti
prohibition people ring the changes
on this idea until it is worn to
"frazzle," so probaly could not he
used in regard to other reform
measures. Nothing seems to be en-
forced except bond issues and the
tax needed to pay the bonds.
Speaking of bond issues, how do
our people like the idea of addition
al bonds to put new floors in our
bond-built court house in less than
three years since it's completion? ?
Somebody blundered" "Ours but TO
reason why" ours but to pay taxes
land die, while the world wonders"
When we build roads by bond issues,
before we have begun to use the ma
chinery provided by the present laws
for road building and maintenance,
we will have another court house
mess, and be issuing more bonds in
side of ten years for repairs

DARLINGTON WINS GAME.
sumter Boys Play Gritty but Losing
Game-Sumter Man Knocked Out.

The Sumter High school boys who
went over Co Darlington Friday
morning played a gritty but unsuc-
ceesful game. owing to the fact that
several OF the best men on the team
were Knocked out at the beginnin.
OF the second half The final score
OF the day was 16 to o, the Darling
ton boys having pushed ahead az
sumter weakened by the loss Of Du-
Rant. DeLorme and Hanynsworth
three Of the best players on tho
team. after an even game for the crst
haif during which neither side Was
able TO make any considerable gains
over the other.
The game was fast and snappy and
at first both teams appeared about
equal. for. during the first half
neither side could advance the ball
any where near the goal line of the
other team. the ball cavorting back
anu forth about the middle of the
field. now in the the possession Of
one team and now In the cher.
During the first part q the second
half DuRant was knocked out, weak
ening the back field; Haynsworth
followed him. weakening it still fur
ther. DeLorme then came out at
end. and the new men put In their
places. while they played good ball.
we're not equal to what these men
taken out had been doing. From
then on Darlington steadily gained
and succeeded in making the three
touchdowns before the end Of the
men stated that Sumter's origin
al lineup was much stronger than
their own and IL is probable that
there would have been no score at
all. had II not been necessary to
make the changes. The Sumter men
were still more optimistic and
thought that had they had all Of
their men in the game. Captain
Richardson being out Of the game,
there would have been NO doubt Of
their winning the game.
IL was only a case of hard luck for
the home boys that they did not win
and not that they were outplayed at
all. for during the first part of the
game Darlington failed to make
any gains around the ends or through
the line. The gains that they did
make the latter part of the game
we're on fake bucks and forward
passes which they worked with tell
ing effect.

up before the Recorder Monday as an
aftermath Of Sunday frolicing.

were up on the charge of disturbance

ness. Mason pleaded guilty to the
charge of fighting. stating that ne had
sufficient cause for 1t. 1t seemed
that he was in a restaurant Sunday
afternoon when Strother came in and
accosted him I'm a very familiar way
calling him an extremely distasteful
name. He straightway struck
Strother who tried to return the
blow. the fight being interrupted be-
fore II had gone to extremes. Stroth-
er was sentenced to pay a fine Of
$40 or To serve 10 days, and Mason
paid fine Of $3.50.
Hayward Isaac. charged with
drunkenness and cursing. pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 or TO serve 10 days.
