HUMAN INTEREST STORY
OF CARSON CITY MAN
An Eastern Paper Tells of Doings
of Hon Bill Keyser

Say, but others spoke of him as the
Hon. William Keyser," and Mr.
Keyser never forgot his mules down
on the last level of the Comstock-
mine, where they dragged ore throu'
the long dripping covert. called Sutro
Tunnel. THE managers of the Com
stock mine finally introduced ma
chinery to haul the ore out to the
dumps, and the twenty or thirty
mules were out of job.
The Hon William Keyscr prompt
ly bought mis- mules "Oh Say" and
ooh Said" and brought them to the
surface OF the earth, where they met
the sunlight for the first time in near
1y half a century He turned them in
to the ricn pasturage which formed
the lawn about his fine home in Car
son City.
There they lived in clover the short
period of two weeks. and there they
were both found dead one morning,
Graded in the alfalfa, which had at
once been a great Joy to them, but
from eating too much had caused
their death
The Hon. William Keyser buried
them where they died, and reared ov-
er thei rtomb a carved stone which
bears this inscription
"Oh Say" and "OH SAID"

the Prosperity of Nevada Tnan

millions of the values of its treasures.

the flame is green, slightly close the air adjustment
until it becomes blue. If the flame shows red or

The result of the present change in pressure
will be that more air will be required. Consumers
little realize the quantity of gas wasted through
improper adjustment, which means more gas con-

Chihuahua Men, Dee, 2O--OMcial re-
by developments indicate that the first
stage of the Insurrcction in western
Chihuahua is over and the second has
begun The government believes that
insurrcctos fought their last organized
battle at PedernalcS two weeks ago
and that they have split into small
bands, which 1t will take months to
catch and aubdue.
These reports are confirmed by the
fact that Nal Paso. the key to the rail
road, Is free of them and that Gem.
Navarro Is now in control of the sit
untlon all along the line
The train. ordered to proceed to Ped
ernalcs for wounded, was unable TO
get away from here until early this
morning. AT noon 1t had reached san

crew Is repairing the track and restor-
ing the wires. which We're torn up OF
cut by the nsurrcction. When this
work Is completed, the train will stop
at Pcdernalcs and take on board the
wounded OF Gen. Navarro's troops.
These have been compelled to get
along with the crude attention of u
field hospital since the fights at Ccrro
Iricto. three weeks ago and Pcdcrnalcs

The government reitcratcs its state
ment that the pass was occupied and Il
junction formed with Cen Navarro by
his rcinforcements without seeing the
enemy. There could DO no better con-
tirmation of this than the fact that the
government train is now in the pass
which was formerly tho insurrcctos
stronghold The latter apparently exer-
ciscd discretion and retired in the face
of greatly superior foe.
With their extreme mobility the In
surrectos arc still capable of making
trouble. The federal troops must pro-
coed cautiously as the swift moving
horsemcn of the rcvolutlonists can rally
200 or 800 men ut short notice to at
