GIRL REPRIMAhDED
SHOT HERSELF

Following a reprimand admins
tered to his grandchild for going to
a dance after being forbidden to do
so, Miss Lois Holland, the beautiful
l7-year-old daughter of Charles
Holland, proprietor of the Holland
at Yerington, committed suicide
Sunday afternoon by firing a bullet
into her right temple at her grand
fathers ranch seven miles from
Yerington. The tragedy occurred
at 1890 o'clock and the coroner's
jury returned a verdict that death
resulted from a gunshot wound
inflicted by herself. Very little
has come to light to disclose the
real cause of the suicide. The
tragedy proved a shock to the entire
community as the family and the
girls are well known and popular.

NEVADE'S POPULATION

With the exception of Nevada the
backward movement in populate on
among the states seems to have
been confined to the decade over.
ing the Civil war, as already
instanced. Nevada, which will
this year probably exceed in relative
growth any of the 46 states and
two territories, except Oklahoma,
was subjected to a waning move
ment in population in the decade
fro" 1880 to 1890. A tabulation
of the figures will best tell the
story: In 1860, before Nevada
had even been recognized as a
territory, its population was 6857.
This was due to the bonanza dis
covery of the Comstock lode. In
March, 1861, Nevada territory
came into ext: tence and in October,
1864 it was admitted to statehood.
AS a result of the rise of the Com
stock lode, its population increased
to 42,491 in 1870 and was still in
creasing and reached 81, 26 in 1880.
Then came the waning of the Com
stock lode and the discrediting of
silver, both of which factors caused
depopulation in Nevada. In 1890
its population was reduced to 49,
761 and in 1900 the same influences
had caused it to decline still more
to az, Matchmaking it 156 less
than it was 80 years before.
The decade closing this year has
been, however, a most notable one
in the history of copper mining. In
the progress made by the red
metal, Nevada has conspicuously
participated. The opening up and
development of Ely, Yerington,
and other copper camps have given
the state a permanency which it
did not rest upon in the days Of
silver and gold, even with the riches
of the Comstock lode. While
Goldfield and Tonopah remain large
gold, silver and lead producers
the production of copper has
reached approximately a parity in
value Notwithstanding its de-
pressed ~price-with gold and
silver, and the future indicates
that it will outstrip in that state
all the other metals combined.
1t is interesting to look over the
records and note the states which
are above the average of 1913 per
cent for the country at large. Ari-
zona-still a territory-shows an
increase I'VE 1900 of 1872 per cent;
Colorado, 23.d per cent; Florida,
3 II per cent; Idaho, 45.2 per
cent; Illinois, 20.6 per cent; New
York, 21.9 per cent; North Dakota,
75.5 per cent; Oklahoma, 1921

Rhode Island, "a per cent; South
Dakota, 26.7 per cent; Texas, 26.6
per cent; Utah, 1913 Washington,

having increased 49.6 per cent, and
Hawaii, 41.5 per cent. To thi,
estimate should be added the forth.
