GERLACH To Be
IMPORTANT TOWN

Gerlach, the first terminal west
Of Winnemucca, on the Western
Pacific, is growing fast, with
indications that it will become a
very prominent town and shipping
point. The roundhouse and most
of the terminal buildings have been
completed for some time. The
depot, however, is still in course of
construction. Arrangements are
being made for the construction of
a number of dwellings there during
the next few months. This work
would have been started long ago
but for the delay in getting material
on the ground.
There is a great deal of traffic
over the road that was built last
summer to Surprise valley. Teams
are coming by that route from as
Fer as Warner valley and Lakeview,
Ore. Many..teams oaded with wool
are being hauled in from that Sec
ton. AS many as eight or ten teams
have been seen at Gerlach at one
time loading with freight for the
surrounding country.
Gerlach is not only big distribut-
ing point, but has chances of being
great mining center as we'll.
Only a short time ago nearly the
whole population of the town
stampeded to the adjacent hills to
locate mining claims. Some very
promising prospects were located
about three miles from the town.
Beside number of large deposits
of high-grade copper ore, rich
lodges of gold and silver ore are
said to have been found.-Humboldt

HID MONEY IN ORE DUMP

A young man of German decent
walked into town a few days ago
from Warrington, cashed a check
for $3.50 and visited one of the
local emporiums of chance. He in
creased his roll by sos and then
went out, with his blankets to take
nap. He claims to have selected
a nice. soft spot near the Ophir
mine and before lapsing into dream
land dug a hole and cached his
$415. His slumber being disturbed
by an aggravating dark brown
taste he started out in search of a
refreshing drink. Upon his return
he decided to draw upon the bank,
but search as he might he could not
locate the gold mine he had planted.
All day yesterday this unfortunate
young man was combing the sides
of the road with a rake from the
Nevada Brewery on the east to the
Meacham lumber yard on the west,
but pu to date he has not unearthed
the bunch of double eagles.
He has now come to the con-
clusion that he did not select the
famous Ophir mine for his bed after
all and the burning question of the
hour is"where did l snooze, or the
mystery of the golden fleece"
Friends of the unfortunate young
man claim that they saw him at the
north end near the grade and active
prospecting in that part of the lead
will be inaugurated at once

Ii CLOSE 0 TO DEATH [N: i i

A thrilling incident in connection
with recent ascent of the Parseval
airship in Berlin is reported in the
German press. A boy who had come
too near the ropes got his right leg
entangled' and when the balloon
arose he was lifted up in the air,
head downwards. While hanging
in that position he succeeded, as a
good gymnast. in catching the rope
with his hands, thus getting in a
safer and more comfortable position.
The crowd below watched with
bated breath the movements of the
boy, hanging between heaven and
earth 600 feet in the air. TWAS
then that the people in the balloon
noticed the signals from below,
and brought down the airship,
whereupon the boy was rescued
half dead from his perilous position.

JARBIDGE BOOM IS
FLATTENED OUT

walter MelSSner and Charley Lee,
of Manhattan, needed the call of
Jarbidge and followed the crowd.
They wanted to see and get a part
of that S27,O00,000 ledge which
Booster" Bourne and his Twin
Falls associates declared they had
found all by themselves. The
Manhattan men found Jarbidge, but
they believe the ledge was moved,
as they found no trace of it. What
they saw of the Bourne property
leads them to believe that it may
develop into low grade mine, if
any development is ever done. The
amount of work done on the property
is small and it represents about all
that has been done on any property
there AS far as Meissner and Lee
could learn there had been no
leasers working in the camp or
planning to work. Three months
ago the camp had a population of
l 800, but now there are scarcely
300 left. and, according to Meissner
and Lee, they will not be there long
judging from the way people are
leaving.
Jarbidge being on forest reserve
it is unlawful to sell liquor there,
so when the camp started the saloon
men evaded the law by giving away
drinks with every purchase of
cheese and crackers.
AS the camp grew older they
became bolder and did away with the
cheese and crackers, charging out
right for booze. Now the Federal
officers have arrested every man in
the camp who has sold liquor there.
Meissner and Lee were in Twin
Falls for a short time and found
that town to be "as dry as bone"
with the lid spiked down. They
say it was novel sight to see the
natives sitting around the soft drinks
stands sucking soda through straws
and discussing the crops.
The word Jarbidge in Indian
means devil or hell, and according
to those who are coming back from
there it must mean the latter, for
the bubble has busted, just as some
of the"wise" ones predicted it
would. You can fool prospector
part of the time, but not all the
time, and it didn't take them long
to "get wise" to this place which
has name that means hell. The
prospector and all those who profess
to know anything about mining
have pulled their stakes and left
the camp and what they tell of the
place will keep others from going
in there and getting buncoed. Jar
bidge did not make, good, and Jar
bidge has received such a black eye
in mining world that it never will
make good, unless few of the
boosters" lay aside their pens for
picks and start to digging. You
can't mine long with pen-youv'e
got to use little elbow grease

Senator Nixon has donated a site
for the new Y. M. C. A. building in
Reno. The Gazette says the gift is
equal to $4,000. Real estate must
be very high in Reno.
j. M. Walling, who was hurt in
the automobile accident the other
night, was taken to the county
hospital last night. The X-ray
showed that one of the bones of his
shoulder was broken. He will be
laid up for some time.
3. Witcher, State Bank Examiner,
and member of the state banking
board, states that 20 per cent
dividend will be paid on June 1st,
to the depositors of the defunct
Eureka County bank and that con-
ditions respecting that institution
are becoming more satisfactory.
He believes that the next dividend
announced will be 81 per cent and
the final one to follow closely upon
that.
District Attorney Taber informs
us that the county has taken all the
necessary steps in the dry farm
matter and that it is now up to the
board of control of the agricultural
experiment station to set it moving.
The regents of the state university
constitute the board of control.
Mr.. Taber has written to DR..
Stubbs and the board to take the
matt up at once.
During the month of June last
year James S: Loudon, mining
man assaulted Editor Cherry of
the Lovelock Review and cruelty
beat him. Cherry sued the bully
for $4,000 damages and the case
came up before Judge Pike at Win
nemucca Tuesday and a judgement
of $1,000 and costs was given Cherry.
Loudon was not in court but was
represented by counsel. He is
now living some where in Canada.
Mr.. Connolly, the Wells butcher,
was called away from home some
time agossby the Hines and death of
his child. He left Charles j.
Turner in charge ofhis business and
on his return he found that his cash
was short $3.50. He had Turner
arrested on petty larceny charge
to hold him until he could examine
his books. This charge was to have
been dismissed yesterday and a
charge of embezzlement placed
against him if he did not dig up the
amount he was short.
While alone in her home yesterday
Mrs. Littlefield became unconscious
and remained so for several hours.
She was found sitting in chair
by little girl, who gave the alarm.
Neighbors and physicians resp onded
to the call and she was put to bed
and restoratives applied. After
becoming conscious, she was taken
with commissions, which lasted
several hours. Her condition was
very serious for some time, but we
are glad to report that she is bet
ter today. .....

right at last and caught the faster wa

Zeke and his mate took in the oars.
The wanigan shot forward below the
gate.
Whack, bump, bang, and the scow
stopped so suddenly that its four men
plunged forward in, a miscellaneous
heap. The water, backed up behind
the stern, began to overflow into the
boat. Newmark saw that the scow
had run her bow on an obstruction
and had been brought to a standstill
square beneath the sluice gate. The
water was beginning to flow the entire
length of the boat. Various lighter ar
ticles shot past him and disappeared
over the side.
Newmark had an inspiration. The
more important matters, such as the
mems clothes bags, the rolls of bed
ding and the heavier supplies of pro-
visions, had not yet cut loose from
their moorings. He seized one of the
long oars, thrust the blade under the
edge of thwart astern, laid the shaft
of the oar across the cargo and by
resting his weight on the handle at

contents of the wanigan to their

bending the long hickory sweep far
enough to catch it's handle end under
another forward thwart. The second
oar was quickly locked alongside the
first, and not moment too soon. A
rush of water forced them all to cling
for their lives.
Two or three rivermen appeared at
the edge of the chute. A moment later
old man Reed ran up. carrying rope.
This, after some difficulty, was made
fast to the bow of the wanigan. A
short rope from the top of the dam
allowed the boat to be lifted free of
the obstruction; a cable astern pre-
vented the current from throwing her
broadside to the rush Of waters; an
other cable from the bow led her in
the way she should go. Ten minutes
later she was pulled ashore out of the
eddy below, very much waterlOgged
and manned by a drenched and dis
gruntled crew.
