TRIBUTE OF THE
bar ITO MEMORY OF
GEORGE D. PYNE

anu never covered at the spear and
snleld of a dishonest foe, because his
psychic soul caught the hidden purpose
OF ms enemy and knew that time holds
Tor every man a Nemesis which, in the
emo, discioses to the public view every
corrupt and dishonest motive and leads
TO detection and ruin. He was a gen.
eral in what he undertook to do. not
bold, dashing and pyrotechnic, but
calm, earnest and determined.
In private life he was an exemplar.
and no stain shadows his every deed.
He possessed every Christian virtue
and lived that his life might be a
model for others to follow. He had af-
fections, warm, ardent and reliable:
and made his home a central point from
which its influence spread like the per
tune OF a flower in a garden of roses,
cheering the community with its pur-
ity and loneliness. He was a man.
noble, true and honorable. His death
Is untimely; the state needed him; the
law needed him; society needed him:
his friends needed him; his family
needed him. His memory will be cher
ished, and, like a pansy leaf folded in
the leaves of the Holy Bible to mark
a sacred passage, we who knew him
will fold his individuality in our own
lives and let it fertilize our acts and
deeds in harmony with his nobility of
purpose.
He climbed the steep mountain of
life, but had not yet reached it's sum
when the horizon was darkened
by the cloud of disease, and death clos
ed his eyelids in eternal stiffness. But
that hope innate in man and unfold
ed in our religion we know his view had
oroadened, and the stirring wings of
have ere this famed his fever
sh brow with the airs of heaven, and
he songs of peace-beyond our con-
.eption have attuned his soul with
larmonies unutterable by terrestrial
,eings-and his deied spirit fingers
With us today as we pay our last tribute
o his memory. Peace to ashes, and to
lis soul.
Requiescat in Pace.

LINDSAY WILL fight
HIS INDICTMENT

Sam +. Lindsay, chairman of the
board of county commissioners Of Nye
county, will fight the indictment return
ed against him by the grand jury, and
endeavor to quare himself with his
friends and political constituents says
the Rhyolite Herald. He asserts that
he got a dirty deal and that when he
gets to the bottom of the plot he will
nave something of interest to say to
the public in retaliation. He infers
that there is a scheme on foot to bring
about his political downfall in Nye
county, and is confident that he can
show up the whole thing in short or
der.
Rhyolite is Mr.. Lindsay's home, and
he has many friends here who believe
in his integrity and honor, and who
will have to be shown that he inten-
t~ionally laid himself liable to criminal
prosecution.
As Mr.. Lindsay is a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for auditor
and recorder, he feels that he is being
handed a big package at the most
critical time in his political career.

fine Hotel BUILDING
AT BLAIR DESTROYED

The Blair hotel, a handsome structure
erected several years ago at a cost of
100000. was completely destroyed by
FIRE at Z o'clock Monday morning. 1t
was only after a hard fight that the
volunteer fire department confined the
big blaze to the hotel and saved the
new store of the Pittsburg-Silver Peak
Mining company situated inst across the
street from the hostelry. Had a stiff
breeze been blowing the entire town
could probably have been destroyed.
The cause of the early morning blaze
had not yet been learned.
S. C. Dobbins, who has charge Of the
power system of the Nevada California
Power company at Blair and Silver
Peak was in Goldfeld this morning
when he received word of the fire and
that the feed lines at the Pittsburg-
Silver Peak mine had ben burned
through at the point of the fire. He
left Immediately by auto for the scene.
The Blair Hotel, as a hostelry, was
the pride of the section in which it was
located for it was an especially well
built and attractively furnished place.
1t was erected by Newton Crumley, but
for several years has been conducted
by Pat F1annery. AS to whether there
was insurance is not known.

GOLD BOULDER IS
VALUED At $4,000

A chunk of gold ore weighing fifty
pounds and valued at approximately
90, 900, was taken from the bottom of
the shaft in the Stall brothers. lease at
National a few days ago. The shaft ia
400 feet deep, and it is said to be en-
tirely in ore. The 50-pound chunk
shows the precious metal clear through
it, with more weight in metal than in
quartz. The gold is SO well dissent
mated it's value may be closely rated by
it's weight, states the Salt Lake Tri-
bune.
1.-THE character of the ore is an elec-
trum and it is the best defined and
most dependable high-grade ore ever
mined in Nevada. The property has
millions of dollars worth of ore In
sight. Other properties show large
bodies of commercial ore through de-
velopment work. There is every rea-
son and indication that with deeper
workings, in conjunction with the low
err grades of ore, other high grade de-
posits, just as rich as that of the West

honor of George d. Pyne, deceased.
Whereas, the hand of inevitable death
has taken from among us one of the
bar of Esmeralda county, the Hon. Geo.
d. Pyne;# and
Whereas, the death of our brother of
the bar is deeply deplored by US, his
professional associates in this county
and it is our desire to express to his
family and to his host of friends our
profound respect for his manly and up
right life, our appreciation of his I'M
selfish devotion to the welfare of his
family, his clients and his friends, and

therefore, be it
Resolved, that it is the sentiment of

In receiving the resolutions, Judge
Peter l.. Somers said:
Gentlemen of the Bar:
After just coming from the train, and
spending three nights out of four on
the sleeper, l regret that circumstances
pertaining to me personally are not con-
ducive to a very satisfactory response
to your presentation.
Your graceful tribute to the life and
memory of oar departed brother, Sen
ator George d. Pyne, is gratefully re-
eeived, and will be spread upon the
records of the court.

ents of reflection, to give adequate and
fitting expression to my innermost feel

lawyer we all loved so well and respect
ed so highly. No words can adequately
speak the tribute that is uttered only
in the silent language of the heart. But

as one who knew, loved, and respected
Senator Pyne, to ask the privilege of
adding one more voice to the others
which have been so el%oquently raised

LITTLE FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Good. strong. well developed pigs
from mature sires and dams will make
better growth and more economical
gains than the understood runts that
result from breeding immature sows
to some siX-months-old boar pig.
Somebody has estimated from sta
tistics that fruit trees and bushes will
bear for the following periods: Apple,
% to 40 years; blackberry. 6 to IA
years: currant, 20 years; gooseberry.
8 to II years; pear. 30 to Is years;
plum. 90 to 25 years; raspberry, 6 to

The largest grapevine in the world
flourishes at San Gabriel. Cal 1t was
planted by the San franciscan friars
and is 100 years old The stalk is one
and one half feet in diameter and eight
feet high, and the branches and foliage
cover 5000 square feet Last year it
produced two and one-half tons Of
grapes
Lean, lank bogs and poor fences will
discourage almost any farmer who has
such combination. With animals
that will multiply as rapidly as pigs
it seems almost a shame to see man
breeding cid scrub sows to some boar
that has no pride of ancestry or hope
IT posterity. Yet this is exactly the
course that about half of the farmers
are following and wondering why feed
ing hogs is not paying substantial
profits. Never get the idea in your
heads that breeding from young and
immature breeding stock encourages
early maturity in the progeny.

GRASS LAID "MINING."
Hay Farming Gradually Extracts Fer
tiIity From the Soil.

Hay Farming Gradually Extracts FER
tiIity From the Soil.
Hay farming is sometimes called
Whining the land because it is supposed
70 gradually remove and exhaust the
fertility of the farm in the same way
that mining removes the ore supplies.
Yet production of hay for market pur-
poses seems to be more and more pop
ular of late years, owing partly to the
high prices of hay and to the better
understanding of the use of agricul-
tural chemicals for hay production
Hay farming with chemicals as COM
monty practiced no doubt removes
more fertility than it restores, but the
process is very slow and no doubt
highly profitable under right conditions.
The owner of fertile, moist grass
land might well say with the mine
owner that he cannot afford to leave
too much ore in the ground or too
much fertility in the soil, but prefers
to sell it and have the value at inter.
est Fertile. moist land will often con-
tinue producing good. profitable crops
of market hay for an ordinary work
ing lifetime. In England, where the
climate Is very favorable to grass, a
sod is often kept fifty years without
breaking. Not much land in this coun-
try will stand cropping so long to one
speciality. but natural grass land will
stand the process a very long time.
To exhaust the land as little as pos
sible it is necessary not to scrimp iD
top dressing. but to put back the great
err part of the fertility that is taken
out by the crop. returning it in the
form of manure or chemicals, or both
combined. If the land is top dressed
enough to keep the crop large, but not
extra large. say about two tons per
acre the first cutting. while the second
cutting is not moved nor fed off. but
allowed to stay and decay on the land,
good deal of fertility and vegetable
matter will be returned to the soil, and
this course may be kept up long
time, especially on soil which is deep
and fertile-as for instance. piece

three and one-half to four feet below
the surface. Such soil is often almost
perfect for grass-a genuine hay mine.
SO to speak-and with right treatment
will continue to return a big income
for twenty years or more
The plan of hay farming with chem
icals has its attractions, especially for
the oldish man who desires to get rid
of the care of live stock and to cut
down his labor outgo to the lowest
possible amount. With good grass land
it is considered that the plan Of mod.
crate top dressing with chemicals
brings a larger income for the labor
employed than any other system Of
management Frequent blowing will
give larger average crop With an
equal amount of fertilizer. but it costs
more to produce and is more work to
| harvest.

A Good Fertilizer,

The value of sulphate of ammonia
as fertilizer was demonstrated in
some German tests where marsh lands
were fortified with nitrate of soda
and sulphate of ammonia. With both
oats and beets the plants receiving sui
plate yielded much more than those
receiving nitrate. These results indi-
cate that on marsh lands liberal SUP
ply of the sulphate of ammonia may
be advantageously substituted for nj
trate of soda and confirms the wisdom
Of the practice in Germany.
