There is a wide difference Of opin
ion as to the best time t. set hen.
It all depends upon the hen Some
hens have about as much tempera
ment as a chilled flatiron, while othe"s
are so passionate that they would
make Ella Wheeler Wilcox look like
a coarse imitation of Hetty Green
making love to a plate of corned beef
1t should be said, however, that warm
weather is the only time to set a hen
Tor a profitable session. We never
knew q pullet in our life that would
clasp a porcelain egg to her bosom
with a frost bitten hatchery lurking
about cher person. In the winter time
we usually set our hens over the reg
lister, which soon causes them to
cackle like a spitz terrier with a slit
ralate. If your hens are frivolous
and light minded in this respect, intro
-duce them to a palmist and follow

Will Start
Civil Action

SAN FRANCISCO, August p
Attorney-General Wickersham has
instructed Samuel Platt, United
States District Attorney for Nevada,
to begin civil action against the
Golconda Cattle Company, of which
William Kent is president, for fenc-
ing government land, according to
advices received from Washington
last night.
At the same time criminal pro-
ceedings, so it was stated. were un-
der consideration, but they will not
be instituted unless an intent to vio-
late the law is evident.
The proceedings grew out OF re-
port of Special Agent Jewell, who
inspected the fences Of the Golconda
Cattle Company east OF Winnemucca
and found that they lnclosed about
5000 acres of government land.

POSTMASTER HOFER
TALKS OF POSTAL BANK
Will Take up Project with Postal
Authorities. Citizens Must Help

This morning an Appeal represen-
tative met Postmaster Hofer and
asked what the chances for a postal
savings bank were in this city in
connection with the postoffice under
the new Postal Savings Bank Law.
Mr. Hofer replied:
Il am taking this matter up with
the postal authorities. l believe
that Carson will i'll time receive per
mission to establish postal savings
bank. 1t is not question that can
be settled at once and no such insti-
tuition has been established in the
state up to the present time. Should
Carson be the first favored it will be
worth the effort.
"The people should not let such an
important matter rest with the post
master Of any town. 1t should come
about by application by the best citi-
zens of city. In this city for in
stance, if number of people should
make written application to the post
office it would help materially. Such
letters can be forwarded to the pos
tai authorities 'at Washington and
will help the postmaster in his eff
forts.

Prison Board

A meeting of the State Prison
Board is billed for this afternoon.
On account of the mandamus pro-
ceedings in the Supreme Court it
was impossible to hold the meeting
earlier in the day.
Seceral days ago State Engineer
Boyle recommended that the entire
plans be abandoned and new ones
submitted It is to decide this inn
portant piece of state news that the

of the plans and surveys have been
submitted and gone over and seem to
meet the general approval Of the

will be reached 1t a late hour this
afternoon.

MandamuS Case
Before the Court

The Supreme Court was occupied
this afternoon listening to argu.
ments in the mandan1.s proceedings
instituted by Joe Josephs to compel
Secretary of State Douglass to place
his Uosephs) name on the official
ballot, as Clerk of the Supreme
Court.
Josephs filed his petition with the
Secretary of State several days ago.
The petition was refused registra-
ton, as the Secretary of State con-
tended that that the office was abol-
ished by Legislative action.
At the hearing to-day J. R. Judge
and William Woodburn appeared for
the petitioner. Joseps, while Attor-
ney- General Stoddard and Assistant
Attorney-General Fowler represent
ed the State. Woodburn and Judge
contended that the Legislature acted
beyond its bounds in the abolishment
Of a constitutional Office. The ques-
ton resolves itself into one of State
Constitutional rights. The Supreme
Court has taken the case under ad-
visement. A decision is expected in
the next day or so. Should it be
favorable Mr.. Josephs' name will ap-
pear on the ballots this fall.

. orking on
Old Ground

Mr.. Moffat and associates who are
carrying on extensive mining devel-
opment west of this city continue to
rush work on tunnel that is direct
ed to the ledge that has been opened
on the surface. The property in
question is situated close to the old
Athens property. In the early days
the Athens ground furnished some
very sensational gold rock. A mill
was run on the rock and the bullion
was stolen. Since that time little
has been done on the property. A
patent was secured and little or no.
thing has been done with the pro-
perty since that time.
Mr.. Mohat has working bond on
the Athens an dthe Leper property
which joins. Most of his efforts are
being directed to developing the Le-
per territory. A ledge on the latter
ground has given very rich values in
gold. A shaft was sunk and cross
cut tunnel is now being driven. The
camp fire at the property is visible
from this city every evening. This
Is the first real mining that has been
carried on in the district in years
and it is to be hoped that the good
reports that are being circulated of
a strike are true. One mine up that
way and there would be something
doing with vengeance

Il am of the opinion that Carson
can make such showing that the re-
quest will be granted and arrange
ments made for the opening of the
bank. This city is recognized as one
of the safe and sound communities
and the record of deposits in other
banks would undoubtedly help the
movement along In my belief it IS
as much matter of the people as it
Is OF the postmaster, and it will re
quire the efforts Of some of our citi-
Gems to help put the movement in
II will gladly discuss the project
with any OF Carson's people, and as
stated before, have taken the initial
steps to open such safe deposit i'll
this city. The people are becoming
acquainted with the law which is
strictly savings bank scheme and
with the backing of Uncle Sam
there will be no such thing as fail
ure. The people of this community
probably realize this institution bet
ter than any other town IL the state.
Any information that | can render
will be gladly impaired to any of our
citizens"

EXPERIMENTS MADE
WITH BUILDING MATERIAL
Gypsum is Being Used in Place of
Imported Clements

The application for concrete for
general use is becoming extensive
Experiments are being conducted for
many uss outside of building and
sidewalk use. Sam White of this
city has placed an order for a con-
crete fence post machine which he
expects to put in operation in this
city and section during the fall
months. Fence posts built cf cement
have given great satisfaction in local
tiles in other states, and will un
douDtedly result the same out this
way. From experiments carried
along on this line it is found that
such posts can be manufact tured at a
very slight advance to wooden posts.
At the same time several concrete
men in this section are making ex-
tensive experiments with gypsum,
the product coming from the Regan
and Adams plants at Mound House.
Recently Mr.. Morton, the local
concrete man, laid walk of this
material in front of the Frank Re-
gan residence. AS Tar as can be de-
termined the Material has hardened
satisfactorily. Should this walk
prove anywhere equal in wearing
quality to that of regular concrete,
it viii mean that it is possible to use
this cheap home product through
out the city.
Experiments in making blocks for
building of this material have shown

Water Co.
Buys Lands

The Virginia Chronicle in report
ing the annual meeting OF the Vir
ginia & Gold Hill Water Company
has the following interesting news in
connection with the election of Of
ficers:
The annual reports OF thet past
fiscal year were read and showed
that the company has expended
many thousands of dollars during
the year on new construction work,
rebuilding an extensive section of its
flume lines.
A large force of men is employed
in the mountains at the present time
and several miles of new flume will
be completed this season.
The interesting announcement is
made that the company has pur-
chased during the year all the water
rights, fumes reservoir sites and
lands owned by Samuel Longabaugh
above Ophir in Wasiioe County,
lHCSC ldHuS anu WdlCl lISHlS
Slide Mountain Lake. The property
and rights secui ed from Mr.. Longa-
baugh include upward of 1000 acres
and adjoins the water shed and lands
already owned or controlled by the
water company and increases its
available water supply fully 50 per
cent.
The large investment in new prop
erty. and the vast amount of inn
provements being made to the big
system. does not indicate any lack
of confidence on the part of the com
pany in the future of the Comstock,
and the likelihood of increased de-
mand for water in Virginia City and
Gold Hill and Silver City and adja-
cent territory for mining, milling and
domestic purposes.
