HUMBOLDT COUNTY IS
SECOND IN GOLD RECORD
Bullion Returns Place the County
in Enviable Position

Humboldt County in three months
has jumped into second place in the
ranks of gold-producing counties in
Nevada. Strange as it may seem,
White Pine County, is third as a
gold producer However, Humboldt,
has made great strides since Mr..
Considine took office as state license
and bullion tax agent. For the qua
ter ending June 20, returns from
which nave just been received the
total output OF gold amounted to
more than 100000 and for the pres
ent quarter the amount may reach
close TO million dollars.
Mr.. Considine, who arrived here on
his official visit last night says that
the bullion tax in Humboldt County
this year Will amount to more than
$4,000, This will be more revenue
from this source than has been col
lected in the history of the bullion
tax law in that county
Humboldt has made great strides
a mineral producer in the past
year." said Considine to-day ma
tional and other new camps OF course
have made this possible, but a fac
tor that should not be overlooked is
the attention the officers of Hum
boldt County are giving to this law

Hard Lines
in Old Texas

Chas. Easterack OF Weinert, Texas,
that there are several families in his
place who are anxious to migrate to
Nevada He tells narrowing tale
of the conditions there.
The boil weavel and grasshoppers
have cleaned up the cotton and other
crops and there are places in the vi
cinity where stock are dying for want
of water The farmers have had four
years of these unfavorable conditions
and barely make living for the m
selves and families.
There was but one rain in the year
1909 and the grain that came up died
out and what did not die went to the
grasshoppers.
There are families who have heard
that there are no boil weavles or
grasshoppers in Nevada and cattle
never die here ior want OF water
They want to sell out everything
they have and migrate.
Ii anyone has ranch to sell or
rent or work on shares they will do
we'll to communicate with these peo-
pie.
These are samples OF the letters
which constantly come into the Pub
licity Commission from all parts Of
the Union
All Nevada needs to establish its
reputation in the country is some
good advertising.

UTAH WATER BIRDS
SUFFERING DISEASE
Reports Confirmed Concerning De-
StructiOn of Game Birds

For the past month reports OF a
destructive disease among the water
+; fowl of Utah have been received in
this section. The following item may
| be of interest to the local nimrods,
| and the later dispatch at the conclu-
sion of the article would bear out
the report to certain extent. Sports
| men in this section have not noticed
the appearanc OF any such disease
i'll Nevada but it would be we'll to
keep track of the matter at least:
Friends of sportsmen who have a
tendency to spend the early fall in
pursuit OF the festive duck should
take warning from the experience of
Salt Lake and refrain from accepting
any presents OF water fowl.
Ducks in Idaho, Utah and Mon
tana are afflicted with some dread
disease that is killing the aocks off
by tens OF thousands. Scientists are
puzzled by the malady that is killing
the focks of game birds OF the West
and it is heralded as possibility that
the destruction OF so many birds that
the purifying remains will SOW the
seeds of some horrible visitation
among the human family.
Ii the ducks of the neighboring
states are affected it is not imDrOb-
able that the birds OF California and
Nevada are also liable to the conta-
gion. The best way to avoid sick
ness is to refrain from eating game
birds which are polluted before their
death. There is no way of telling
for the eyes are bright and the feath-
ers glossy and healthy appearing.
One of the worst cases is reported
from Salt Lake City where boy
brought home brace OF ducks. His

regarding the gambling law which is

General in that it states it is not
against the law to run nickle-in-the

redeemable in property and not in

Attorney is at variance with num-
Der OF opinions handed down by

Little Excuse
for Murderer

q. +. Nelson, who killed b. II.
King. steam shovel operator, in
a saloon at Star Pointer about two
weeks ago without apparent cause.
was held to await the action OF the
grand jury without bond by Justice
Cartwright last Saturday night.
The defendant offered no testimony
in his own behalf at the hearing in
the justice court and through his at
torney, G.. Il. Boreman, stated that
he would waive preliminary exam
ination. Boreman announced his will
lingness to have the case brought
TO the immediate attention OF the
grand jury.
Before formally binding Nelson ov-
er to the grand jury Justice Cart
wright decided to take the evidence
oi one eye witness to the brutal
murder. Charles Bronson was Sc
lected for that purpose and related
all the narrowing details OF tne wan
ton killing. All others who were
present in Nelson's saloon when the
murder occurred will be placed un-
der bond by Judge Cartwright in
order to insure their appearance be-
fore the grand jury, or required to
give their deposition in court, SO tina.
their testimony might be available
against the defendant Nelson when
the case is called for trial.-Ely Ex-

OGDEN, Utah, Sept 2o.-J. S.
Carver, president OF the state dairy
and food bureau, announced to-day
that he had requested the officials OF
the Hartman line to issue an order
prohibiting employees from eating
ducks, nipe or mudhens until the pre-
valent conditions OF the wild fowl is
understood by the committee making
an investigation. 1t is the practice
of many railroad men to carry guns
with them on their freight runs dur
ing the hunting season, for the pur-
pose OF killing ducks and other wild
fowl This is especially common be
tween Ogden and Montello, where
the Southern Pacific passes close by
a number OF sloughs and feeding
places.
