Nevada Has
No Kick Coming

Nevada has little or no kick com
ing when it comes to climatic condi-
tiOns. True it is that it has been a
record breaking winter, that wood
piles have run low and men have been
inclined to enter heavy weight roars,
but when the conditions throughout
the length and breadth of both con-
tinents are considered Nevada is in
deed in luck. 1t is safe to say that
not a score of people in the entire
State have gone hungry and mighty
few have suffered with the cold. The
reported heavy loss by the sheepmen
has now dwindled down to a scatter
ing few, while the mining industry
is going along as if winter was the
true friend of the miner. In the
case Of the prospector it is a God
send, as it furnishes water or moist
ure where it would be impossible in
the summer. When the troubles OF
the great East and greater Europe are
considered it looks to the natives OF
the sagebrush like the arid west is
worth while and the winter that is
upon us is not so bad after all

FISH ARE
DESTROYED
Cold Weather at WaShOe Cleans
Out Finny Tribe

Parties who have visited Washoe
Lake during the past few weeks, or
since the ice covered the lake, report
great destruction to the cat fish and
perch. Many of the fish crowded in
to the sloughs and tule fields and
have been frozen solid, as the ice in
many instances has reached the bot
tom Of the sloughs.
This will be hard luck story to
many Of the local sports who delight
In the spring, to fish for both perch
and cat fish. A number of years ago
the same condition happened which
resulted in mighty poor angling for
the following season. Washoe Lake.
at the present time, is frozen to a
depth of Is inches, and 1t is possible
to drive team across the Lake from
any point This is the first time the
lake has been in this condition for
many years. Glib Douglass cut and
stored ten-inch ice from the lake
nearly six weeks ago.

ARRIVES
Bring Plans For the Brunswick
Smelter

jim Yerington, who has been in
Montreal, Canada, for several weeks
financing the Brunswick smelling
proposition, is expected home this af-
ternoon. Word was received froI
Mr.. Yerington several weeks ago that
the financial difficulties of the con-
cern were at an end and that the
money for the first unit had been
raised. Practically ali the surveys
and most OF the plans OF the smelter
have been made. 1t only awaits fav-
orable weather for real action. With
the completion of the railroad TO the
south of here and the opening of
Mason Valley by railroad to the cop
per mines 1t seems that the smelter
on Carson river will be kept aumming.

Flow of Water

The Comstock Extension Company,
which is operating in Jumbo has de-
veloped big body Of water in their
long tunnel. Parties who have re-
turned from the district state that
there is water enough flowing from
the tunnel for a twenty stamp mill.
From the surveys and the tapping OF
the water the belief is expressed that
the company will encounter their
ledge in a few days. This property
has one of the richest surface ledges
in the camp and the tunned will tap
it three hundred feet deep. Jumbo

BIG MERGER
ASSURED
Butte COpperS to go Under One
Head

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-Preliminary
steps have been taken to effect the
long looked for merger Of the prin-
clple copper producers of the coun-
try into one gigantic corporation.
In Wall street another billion dol
lar company was frequently mention
ed, but the more conservative be-
i1eved final capitalization will be
closer to $5OO,OOO,OOO.
The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany officially announced late ves-
terday afternoon that the board of di-
rectors yesterday decided to call a
special meeting of stockholders in
Anaconda, Mont. on March 30, to pass
on a proposal to increase the capital
stock from $50 100000 to $3.50. .OOO, 900,
for the purpose of acquiring the
property Of other companies located
in the Butte district
The Amalgamated Copper COM
panys owns So per cent of the Ana.
cOnda stock.
Following the merger Of the Butte
properties, which include the Anal
gamated Copper company and it's va
riOus hOldings-the Anaconda COM
pany, Boston & Montana. Butte &
Boston, Washoe, Trenton and other
ubSidiarieS-and the North Rutte
and Butte Coalition it is expected
that the new Anaconda, with an in
creased capital of S15OOOO,OO0, will !
merge with the Guggenheim, Haggin
and other copper interests The
thus formed will control
the copper output of the United States
and will inf1unece the copper market
of the world.

IS
CIRCULATED
Asking For Repairs on the Loyd
Bridge

A petition is being circulated in
this city asking that the Lloyd bridge
east of this city be repaired. The
bridge, which was built only two
years ago, is practically wreck The
bridge originally called for the piers
nearly four feet higher than they
were constructed. The result is that
it is dangerous and in fact condemned.
That there was poor construction is
undeniabie and it is a question if the
traffic warrants the rebuilding. This
matter will probably be taken up by
the commissioners at their next meet
ing.
From all that can be learned the
smelter at Brunswick canyon is to
be constructed this summer. In
such an event it is a necessity that
the Lloyd bridge be reconstructed. AS
is known to everyone who has look
ed over the mineral resources of this
county, the only likely neighborhood
is to the east Of this city. In or
der to reach this mineralized ground
this bridge is necessary. At the
present time there is a considerable
amount of mining activity across the
river. The Nevada Delaware Com
pany has spent in the neighborhood
of $4,000 in development. They
have opened up a body of ore that
will be shipped to the smelter. This
company has been furnished with
money from eastern people and the
good faith they nave shown in Orms-
by county mines should be protected
by roads and bridges. Other people
are rapidly developing in the section.
while the only lime quarries in the
neighborhood have been opened up ac-
ross the river.
Even the fact that poor construc-
ton resulted when the bridge was
buiN should not be a hinderance to
those who have property investments
east of this city. Unless something
is done before the high water comes
down the river the bridge will be
f1oated toward Dayton. The commits
siOners have a delicate proposition to
be handled from any point Of view, as
the funds are growing low and the
spring repairs from every quarter will
have to be considered

Amputation
Not Necessary

TIL Chinaman who was so badly
frozen a couple of weeks ago is on
the road to recovery. The county
commissioners helped take the case
in hand and found suitable quarters
in this city where he can receive
treatment. The attending physician
states that it will not be necessary
to amputate any of his fingers or toes
and expects to have him out before
many weeks. 1t was a mighty close
call for Mr.. Chink.

ENJOYED
Col. A. Dickson Gave Fine Dis
course

Last evening at the Leisure Hour
Club Col Archibald Dickson gave a
very interesting lecture on the Bald.
win-Zeigler polar expedition. Mr..
Dickson, who acted as secretary of the
expedition collected many fine speci-
mems, one an immense polar bear, the
tusks of the Walrus. His description
of the hardships of the long night and
the final dash for the further north
was graphic and of unusual interest
His talk occupied nearly two hours
which included the formation of the
party at New York, and took the list
eners through all the interesting
points from the English coast to Nor
way and finally the frozen fields. A
well-flled hall resulted in profit to
the club, the funds to go toward the
building of club house which is con
templated this summer.
Aside from the decidedly interest
ing talk by Mr.. Dickson he exhibited
the finest set of polar photographs
in the west. Many of the photos
were taken by himself and by the Of
fetal photographer of the expedition.
This was Mr.. Dckson's Initial appear
ance before the Carson public. His
lecture should be delivered before
other bodies of citizens as it is es-
pecially instructive now that the
pole has been reached.
