OF Mill CANYON

G.. III. Mccormick, the well known
mining operator formerly of Mill City
and Chafey, but now of Mill Canyon,
is attending court this week. Mill
Canyon is a new mining camp situat-
ed 90 miles south of Valmy, with an
abundance of wood and water, and
bids fair TO become one of the promi-
nent camps of the county. AT present
eight men are at work developing as
many properties, while from Is to 20
more have finished their location work
and left the camp for the winter
There have been several strong lodges
encountered, from rour to six feet in
width, which have been panned for a
distance of a thousand feet on the
surface and give assays of $2390 in
gold, two-thirds of the ore being free
milling. From another ledge ore has
assayed as high as $121.20, while from
another $44 in gold and 213 ounces of
silver have been shown.

Death Valley Scotty has returned tc
Reno after an absence of several days.
His going and coming were mysterious
as usual
From all appearances Scotty is dead
broke, or if he has any coin 1t IS un-
der cover. The whereabouts of the
Treasure chest are not made public,
but Scotty looked wise and hints at a
big speed fest in the near future
The cryptogram of Death Valley
forecasts that the Black canyon coun'
TRY in the Humboldt range, where ne
has been prospecting, will shortly be
come one of the big producing dis
triets in the state. The ledges are
pockety, but when a pay streak II
found, there is no need to have the

WOMFN CAN VOTE
IN WASHINGTON
Especial to the Silver state.l

SPOKANE, Wash. Nov. l5.-One
hundred and thirty thousand women
were added to the voting strength of
the state of Washington by the adop-
tion of an amendment for equal suff-
rage to the constitution at the cleo
tion on November :. Formal announce
ment will be made by Governor Hay
within 10 days or as soon as the Off
eial canvass of the returns has been
completed. Women, who are taxpay
crs, also are eligible for jury duty.
The women of Spokane probably will
cast their first votes at an election to
ratify the new charter, which provides
for commission form of government.
Mrs May Arkwright Hutton, of
Spokane. president Of the Washington
Political Equity league, entertained
her co.workers and a large number of
advocates Of equal suffrage at ban.
when it was announced that November
"a has been set aside as special day
Of thanksgiving for the newly en-
franchised women of the state. Mrs.
Hutton said
81 attribute the success of the
movement largely to the broad minded
ideas of the men of Washington, who
stand for square deal in all things
Another reason for our success is the
fact that the management Of the cam
paign has been at all times under the
control of the women of the state
MINNIE !. Reynolds, formerly of Colo
rado, did excellent work and to hei
the women of this state owe much foi
their great victory at the polls
Arrangements are now under way

BUSINESS men
FAVOR FRISCO

Some indication of the favor with
which San Francisco is regarded in the
middle west as the site for the Panama
exposition is shown by the enthusiastic
endorsement of the California metropo-
lis by the great organizations of bust
ness men in Chicago and Omaha.
A short time ago the head of the
New Orleans publicity bureau at
Omaha sent out report that the
Crescent city had been endorsed by
the Commercial club, the leading COM
mercial organization of that city. I'm
mediately meeting of the club was
called, the alleged endorsement denied
and a resolution endorsing San Fran
cisco adopted by an overwhelming ma
jority.
The city council of Omaha. in the
meantime, had adopted by a unani-
nous vote, resolution endorsing San
Francisco as the site for the Panama
exposition.
The National Business Men s
League of Chicago is unqualifedly in
favor of the San Francisco exposition
and has adopted resolutions voicing in
unmistakable language its preference
for the Pacific coast city as the site
for the Panama exposition.
St. Louis is for New Orleans, but
the preference is admitted due chiefly
to sentiment. That there is strong
feeling of friendship for San Francis
go in that city is evident to all. The
st. Louis Times asks: "Why should
New Orleans be favored at the ex-
pense OF San rseneisco.D and adds:
1.-The argument of nelg,besliness is
more than counterbalaneed by other
arguments readily come to mind.
Summer has always been the accept
ed season for worlds fairs. Therefore
the matter of climates should be a
first consideration. New Orleans has
very kindly climate to offer winter
tourists, but its summers are unbear-
able. General Humidity appears to
have his Notifications most strongly
| established in the beautiful Crescent
| city and he is the known foe to com
fort and exercise of every kind"

INDIANS URGED
TOFOLLOW Christ

For the first time in years the
Piutes had religious services when
Andrew John preached to them Sun
day afternoon at the Methodist church.
The attendance was small and the con-
gregation was late getting to church,
but after it was all over the meeting
was considered a grand success.
The sermon was preached in Eng
lish, since white people formed good
ly part of the audience.
1t was novel sight to see the young
Indian standing in the pulpit, exhort-
ing his people to forsake evil and fol-
low Christ. Probably this young man g
father fought the white man; certain
ly his grandfather did-they knew no
purpose in life but to fight and kill.
But their deseendants-this young
man-belongs to a new generation, a
new time, and has chosen a new call
ing-that of peace.
It is doubtful if many of his Indian
listeners comprehended the import of
what he said, for it is long jump
from heathenism to Christianity, and
a hard jump, especially when one does
not understand well the language used
in explaining it.
Rev. Bonnefon was present and af-
ter the sermon he spoke few minutes,
saying he had long had desire to do
for the Indians but did not
know how to begin; and now here was
Andrew John to start the work. Mr..
said he would like to start
an Indian Sunday school and asked
how many would like to have one.
Several raised their hands in answer.
Some of the good old stirring hymns
wer sung and Charles Wuertele presid-
ed at the organ.
Andrew John said he would like to
come to Winnemucca to hold services
every third Sunday in the month if
could be made. He re-
turned to his home in Lovelock Sunday

hour mentioned the floor Of the hall

LOOK FOR new
POSTOFF|CE SITE

Today John I. Driscoll, United
States postoffice inspector, with head
quarters at Reno, accompanied by
Postmaster Rogers, was calling on To-
cal business men and property owners,
endeavoring to secure a new location
for the postoffice. Owing to the low
rental allowed by the government
they received but little encourage
ment. At present Winnemucca is a
third class postoffice, the business for
last year amounting to but $1,000,
while the minimum receipts for a
second-class Office are placed at $4,000.
The government requires floor space
of at least 25x50 feet, Iully equipped
with boxes, ETC., for which it will pay
a maximum rental of $400 per year.
