recently in copper"
Regarding the Comstock mines and
their future, Mr.. Ralston is quoted as
follows:
"The development work being done
at the Comstoeks will show new bodies
of ore, and I firmly believe we will see
renewed interest in Comstock shares
I have always maintained that deep
mining on the Comstock will show
that the infltrating solutions which
deposited the former bodies Of ore
did not rise to the upper levels entire
lly, but must have formed deposits in
the lower strata.
GAS conditions are today the Com
stock mines at their present depth are
shallow, especially when compared
with the lowgrade copper mines Of
Michigan. The advent of electricity
both for pumping and ventilation, per
mits the working of the lower level
of the Comstocks at cost that coult
not be equaled in years gone by

NATIONAL FOREST FIRE DAM
AGE IN MONTANA AND IDAHO

A rough estimate of the fire loss up
on the national forest in Montana AID
northern Idaho, upon which the forest
officers of the U. 8. department of ag-
riculture have been engaged since the
fires were put out, puts the total
amount of timber killed or destroyed
in this one district at over six billion
board feet, while the area burned over
Is put at over one and one quarter mil
lion acres.
The heaviest losses in two Idaho
forests, the Occur d'Alene, where over
thre billion board feet of timber are
reported killed or destroyed and over
so thousand acres burned over, and
the Clearwater, where one billion feet
of timber were killed or destroyed and
100000 acres burned over. On the
Helena national forest in Montana,
the loss in timber is believed to have
been 500 million feet, on the Cabinet
forest 400 million, and on the Lolo
forest 800 million.
A large part of the losses ON the
Coeur d'Alene, Clearwater and Lolo
were due to what became practically
one great fire. The burn is shown on
the forest service maps as extending
In q n0rthwesteriy and southeasteriy
direction from north of Wallace, Ida
no, to a point some 80 miles south
west of Missoula, Mont, or nearly
100 miles. At its widest point this
burn has a width of about 40 miles,
but its shape is very irregular.
Forester Graves believes that, as
usually happens in the case of big
fires, there will be found to be con
siderable areas of living timber with
in the regions now mapped as entirely
burned over. OF necessity, the figures
given are tentative, for it has been
impossible to examine all the burned
areas thoroughly. As fast as possible,
however, the forest officers are locat.
ing and estimating the bodies of tim.
ber killed but capable of being lum'
bered, if taken in time. There will be
an enormous quantity of fire-killed
timber, both on the national forests
and on private lands, TO be disposed
of as soon as possible, since if not
marketed quickly it will not be worth
cutting at all.

WASHINGTON MEN
BUY LEAD MINE

William G. Ralston, assistant treas
urer of the United States at San
Francisco and the well known secre
tary of several Comstock mines, has
Just returned from an eastern trip
and in an interview In the Commercial
&. News of San Francisco says that a
somewhat more optimistic sentiment
now prevails in financial circles east.
While business il somewhat quiet, yet
more men are now employed; crops
have been good and statistics of ex-
ports and imports do not indicate dull
business. 1t is generally expected
that no special activity will be noted
until the readustment process has
further progressed and political con
ditions ar. more assured.
Regarding the mining situation in
California and Nevada Mr.. Ralston
states:
81 believe we will see, ere long, a
marked interest in gold mines and
tuat thc hCAt iSdi kOiu CANitCnSht :" a.
take place in California. This is
gradually beng brought about by the
opening Of new bodies of ore along
the mother lode, and the advent of the
Western Pacific railroad, which ira
verses the northern tier of the mining
counties, thereby making them more
accessible. More development work
is now under way throughout northern
California than most of our citizens
realize, and substantial results win be
attained.
"Few people are aware of the fact
that we have not had a mining excite
ment in California during the past 81
years.
''This history of the financial worl,
in the United States shows that afte
period Of depression in industrial
stocks that there nearly always fol
lows . renewed interest in the meta
stocks. This has been observed il

Michigan-Nevada Expected to
Open Up.

0. X. Westcoatt, superintendent Of
the Michigan Nevada mines near
Mill City, was in town the first of the
week and reports that there is good
prospect of the property soon being
opened up under a new management.
An eastern expert, who made a
thorough examination of the property,
returned home over two weeks ago,
and providing he makes favorable
report, it is expected the property will
change hands.

NIXON HELPS THE
|SCHOOLHOUSE FUND

Vividly recalling at all times the
difficulty he himself experienced in
securing his early schooling, United
States Senator George 8. Nixon has
never been known to be straggler in
giving his aid, moral and financial, to
the cause of education. 1t has always
been his aim to never overlook an op-
portunity to extend aid to all school
districts Of the state in need of help, a
substantial evidence of which is fur
nished through the fact that, although
unsolicited, he recently contributed,
through Cashier J. Sheehan, Of the
First National Bank of Winnemucca,
the sum of $3.50 to the fund being
raised to liquidate the expense of
erecting the school building in Ma
tional.
Mr.. Sheehan's letter, accompanying
the contribution, follows:
Winnemucca, New, Oct. 28, 1910.
Trustees of National School District,
atlonal, Nevada.
Gentlemen:
'The attention of Senator Nixon
has been called to the fact that you
have recently established school dis
trict and that your appropriations
from the county are not sufficient to
pay off the indebtedness caused by
the erection of the school house.
"The Senator takes great interest
in the welfare of children, especially
those whose parents are compelled to
work for living. In his public, as
well as private, life, he advocates
above all else, give the children the
best of schools.
"He has, therefore, authorized me
to forward you check for $50 to
be used for the above purpose and
which check I enclose herewith.
~ trust you will accept this, in the
spirit in which it is intended and not
consider that it has, in any way, any
thing to do with politics, for the
Senator would do this after election
just as readily as he is doing it now.
"Yours truly,
81. SHEEHAN, Cashier.
The board of trustees have written
Senator Nixon a letter acknowledging
the receipt Of the gift, and expressing
to him their thanks for it.

THE GIRLS CLUB HAD
INITIATION LAST NIGHT

The Girls club initiated a number
of members last night, and after the
trying ordeal was over lunch was
served.
Each girl was compelled to roll a
peanut around the room with her nose,
eat dozen angleworms (ughD, sit
blindfolded with her hands tied and
mouth covered while big fly tickled
her nose, go into dark room where
there was ghost, and several other
things. The managers wanted to get a
mouse to use in the initiation, but no
one could be found brave enough to
handle it.
The above is not authentic, as the
girls would not tell what they did.

VANDAI.s STEAL PARTS
FROM ENGINE AT DRID01

Vandals stole some parts from the
engine at the bridge Tuesday night
and it is probable they were thrown in
to the river. The engine 10 used to run
the piledriver. A close watch u be-
ing kept trying to detect the offend
ers, but az the officers and watchmen
cannot be every place at once, that i
pretty hard to do. 1t is supposed the
parts were taken from the engine in
the hope Of delaying work, out Of .
spirit Of revenge.

Carl Haviland for Commissioner.

The Republicans this year have
been extremely fortunate in the selee.
tion of their candidate for long-term
commissioner. c. E. Haviland, of Win
nemucca, the nominee, needs no intro
duction to the voters of northern
Humboldt county, having lived here
a lifetime and enjoying the personal
acquaintance of all.
For the past year the citizens OF
National have had very unfortunate
experience with the board of county
commissioners. Whenever they want
ed anything which ought to be
provided at public expense, they have
been advised that there were nc
funds available and in consequence
have been compelled to either do with
out or pay for what they wanted
out of their own pockets. A police
officer and school building are cited
as examples. AS all residents of the
camp are aware, we are now without
police protection of any kind and al
a result the town is overrun with
gang of sneak thieves and undesir
ables that make life a burden to al
honest citizens.
1t is true that National has
schoolhouse, for which they are unde
no obligations to the county commits
sioners. 1t was built and paid for wit
money donated by public-spirited eli
izens who believe it to be thei
duty to the state to see that tn
young Of the community were properl

J. A. Lipman, Republican candidate
for Assemblyman, is very popular with
all classes in Humboldt county, where
he has resided for the past nine years.
Up until two years ago he held the
responsible position of cashier at the
large mercantile establishment of E.
Reinhart & Co., Winnemucca. Seeing
an opportunity to engage in business
for himself, Mr.. Lipman resigned his
position and became identified with
the Lafayette Hotel company, own
ers of the well-known Lafayette hotel
at Winnemucca, acting as president
of the corporation and manager of the
hotel. Although without previous ex-
perience in this line of business, Mr..
Lipman took small, third-rate hotel
and converted it into one of the best
hostelries in the state.
Mr.. Lipman is also a man of af'
fairs, having kept in close touch with
current events and, if elected, may be
depended upon to represent Humboldt
county in the lower branch of the
legislature in a creditable manner.

THANKS GIVING
IN PEN SACOIA.

Thanksgiving will be marked this
year by any number Of gay events,
and there will be celebration to fit
every turn of mind, according to the
planning.
There will be Thanksgiving SER
vices at the churches, which should
appeal to us all; there will be foot
ball at Palmetto Beach between the
boys of the High School and Classic
al School; there is to be plenty of ex-
C4tei.enl at kupfrian's park because
it will be the first day of the racing
season, and at night there will be the
theatre. This is a much gayer pro-
gram than Pensacola has offered for
some time, as matters have conspired
to make the day an ideal one through
out.
There are to be plenty of cozy, de-
lightful dinners at the San Carlos no
tel, with several gatherings at the
Osceola club during the evening.
The Bachelors ball will also afford
pleasure for number of the young
people at the K. Of c. hall in the
evening, a number of cards being out
for this gay event.
Nearly all of the club meetings
