sudden Death
OF DR.. F. R.
CARPENTER

DIR. Franklin R. Carpenter, OF
Denver, one of the leading mining
men of the United States, who was at
the head of the Boyer Nevada Con
solidated Copper Company, operat-
ing the extensive copper deposites at
Boyer in this county, succumbed to
heart disease last Friday in Chicago.
News of his death was telegraphed to
his two sons, Malcolm and Grams
ton, who were out here looking after
the mining operations. They left at
once for Denver, the home of the
Carpenter family and were present at
the funeral held the fore last of this
week.
Dr. Carpenter death is serious
loss to the mining industry in the
United States, for he was unquestion
ably one of the best informed men on
mining in the country today, and
has done as much as any other one
Man for the advancement of the
industry along theoretical and practi
cal lines. His works on pyritic smelt-
ing are recognized authority. For
many years he occupied the chair of
Professor of mines in the South Da
kota University He was geologist
for several, of the most important
railroads in the country and was
metalurgical engineer of recognized
ability.
Locally his death is very lamen-
table fact, owing to his interests at
Boyer, and it is feared that this giant
project, in the development of Hum
boldt County will be seriouslyretard
ed. Whether the project has gotten
far enough along SO that The big un-
dertaklng may be carried on by his
sons, all of whom are capable and
responsible mining engineers, is a
que%ton. = --al l4A.4l-lz

TRAPPING in THE IOVELOCK
VALLEY PROVES TO Be
VERY PROFITABLE
OCCUPATION

Trapping muskrats in the Lovelock
Valley has proved profitable occu;
patton for Frank Crumpacker during
the month of march. A reporter
for the Tribune. visited the drying
shed at the residence of Mr. Crum
packer where he has drying for
market the skins of the animals he
has caught on the sloughs and creeks
of the valley. Hanging from the
ceiling and suspended against the
wall are countless skins of various
small animals. such as muskrats, pole
cats and gophers. During the
month of March, MIR. Crumpacker
caught a63 muskrats. and about 20
pole cats. The skin OF the muskrat
is now worth about 60 cents and
that ofthe pole cat is between 81 90
and 49, 90. The skins are all III prime
condition and will shortly be mark
eted by Mr.. Crumpacker.
From these skins furs and mufs
and boas are made which as we all
know command fancy prices and are
eagerly sought after by the women
folks.

SURVEYING Line
FOR THE S. P.
CUT OFF

Some time ago the Tribune printed
an exclusive story on proposed
Southern Pacific Cut off in Nevada
From Battle Mountain south. Now
Comes the Ogden Standard with the
following in regard to the matter.
The sending out of new corps
of Southern Pacific engineers to sur
vey line from Battle Mountain to
connection with the Los Angeles
Aqueduct road, presages a most i'm
portant campaign OF railroad build
ing in central Nevada that is to add
to the Importance of Ogden as rail
road point and draw to this route
most of the traffic from southern
California, which has heretofore gone
over the southern roads.
At present there is narrow gauge
railroad from Battle Mountain south
through Reese River Valley to Austin
Nevada Ibis line, it is said, will
be purchased by the Hartman peo
Pile, converted into standard guage
and etended on south to a connec-
ton with the Los Angeles road in
the Owens River Valley.
From Ogden to Battle Mountain,
by the Central Pacific is 800 miles,
and from Battle Mountain to Los
Angeles by the proposed line is some
thing over 500 miles, or total dis
tance of approximately 500 miles,
making Ogden equidistant from San
Francisco and the southern metro
polls Of California.
There is no railroad, built or con
templated, which equals the pro-
posed line IN grades, curves, or fav
orable climate conditions, as a con-
Meeting link between Utah and the
coast.

SPRING OF The YEAR time
TO CLEAN UP.

The people of the little city Of
Yerington over in Lyon country have
had a clean up if nothing else, says a
state exchange. They have taken the
matter over, decided on what is to
be done and the mayor of the city
has Used the following unique pro
clamation:
The spring of the year being the
accustomed time for general house
cleaning, and for most peaple to take
their annual bath, it will probably
not be amiss for the city of Yerlng-
ton to indulge in little renovating
on general scale for couple OF

Charge OF Permitting
minors TO GAMBLE
IS WITHOUT
GROUNDS

On Wednesday the Justice court
cause, against the Northern came up
for trial with Constable Wolf as the
complaining witness, on charge of
permitting minors to gamble, and to
frequent the gambling rooms at the
Northern. The prosectlon intro
uccd several witnesses, most Of them
minors, who testified that they had
either been in the saloon and cafe
while gambling was going on or had
seen other minors gambling there.
The defense with Attorney Callahan
as consel, showed that every effort
had been made to keep minors out
and there was no wrongful intent on
the part of the proprietors.
The case after argument went to
the jury and on the first ballot, a
verdict dismissing the defendants was
returned. The jury held to the
opinion as brought forth by Attorney
Callahan, that in criminal action
of this kind there must be intent to
do wrong before crime has been
committed and the preponderance Of
the evidence showed that the North
ern had used every effort to keep
minors out of their place of business.

ner, for State quarantine, inspectedsor
Saturday the cow on the estate o.
Mr.. ". H. Burns, at Burnside, neal
Annapolis. The inspector pronounced
Mr.. Burns cattle the highest stand
ard of any he has examined in this
county.
The inspection is along the lire of
general inspection that has been IL
progress in farm yards contiguous to
Annapolis for some weeks past. The
method, if the cattle pass the in
spection is, to tag the right ear a
the COW. The tag bears the date O.
the inspection and by whom it was
made. The tag cannot be easily re
moved from the ear when once placed
there.
While the inspection is the best
thing that could happen for consumer
of milk, it has caused a great loss
and in many instances a deprivation
to several dairymen. The government
should reward sGch losers, or ir
some way compensate them for loss
of cattle.
