she made a VOW that if speech were
given her once more she would never
again say anything unkind of any
body And thus she was as they found

State Bank.

Receiver Frank Wildes, of the
late and very much lamented State
Bank and Trust company, might
be accused of many weakness and
frailties, but modesty can not be
included in the list, says the
Wonder News. According to his
report recently filed, he received
since he took charge of the
affairs of this institution,
$l45,7 ,709 Oh. Out of this sum the
depositors have received $95,014-
45. To collect this money, or
rather small part of it, and turn
it over to its rightful owners, has
cost *45, ,S23,94, not quite half as
much for receivers expenses as the
depositors got. Mr.. Wildes has
asked as compensation for his
services in giving back little
over two-thirds of the cash he col
leoted, and one-tenth what they
put in, the modest sum of 1888. 33
per month, He testified in court
that he thought his servios were
worth 81 900 a month. If it costs
this much to handle money with
no better results than Mr. Wildes
has shown, it is difficult to imagine
what it would be worth if a real
business man had the Job.

NEW STRIKE
AT MASONIC

Masonic, the gold camp, seventy
miles south of Gardnerville, and
which has attracted more or less
attention in the mining world dur.
ing the past four years, vas thrown
into a state of excitement last week
according to Frank Baglin, who
arrived from that camp Sunday,
by a new strike of in which rock
going Sl10O was uncovered. The
strike was made by an Italian
whose name we were unable learn
and Ibis ground is located some
distance west of the Pittsburg-
Liberty mines, which is now pro-
ducing thousands of dollars
monthly for its owners. The
character of the ore is identical
with that of the Plttsburg property
and is is believed that the Italian
has struck an extension of the
rich Pittsburg ledge.
Altogether there is a noticeable
improvement in the camps pro-
gress and activity on the different
properties, give promise of an ex-
treme busy season. The big quartz
mill keeps up its steady gring and
the gas engine which furnishes
power for the works, has consumed
80 tanks of distilate since last fall
and a carload of the fuel is due to
arrive at Minden this week and
will be hauled by team to Masonic.

Take Up Land
In Mono.

Bridgeport Valley, or least a
portion of it, has passed to the
ownership Of several homsseskers
within the past few months. The
land has been under fence for may
years and has always supposed to
be the undisputed property of the
Hickey Land and Cattle company,
but recent search of maps land
land office records, disclosed the
fact that there was in the neigh
borhood of 1000 acres in that
Valley, subject to location under
the Desert Land Act.l
Thos. West of Gardnerville filed
on 800 acres; Sheriff Dolan of
Mono county secured 200 acres, as
we'll ~ other titles being secured.
While the land secured does not
comprise meadow land, it can be
watered and brought under culti-
walton.
One of the locators of the land
apprised Chas. Hickey of his in
tentions, and was told to go ahead
as the Hickey company had no
desire to hold the land or even
secure title to it under the Desert
Land Act.
In the center of the 320-acre
tract secured by Thos. West, the
Hickey company ownes 40.

HAS A "SAY"
Mr.. j. W. Edwards,
Reno. Ne.

Dear SIR Under date of the
sth, and 9th instant, noticed in
tho columns of the Record Courier,
our local weekly, and the Nevada
State Journal respectively, your
Sudden and d. liberate challenge TO
me for wrestling match.
If you recollect some two years
ago when you first located in Reno
and became known as wrestler,
our friends urged us with gool in
ducemenis, to try our skill on the
mat. At that time land | feel the
same at presently | did not care to
become known as a professional
wrestler for various reasons, and
after looking up my past record as
an amateur wrestler and athelete,
you were well satisfied to bury the
hatchet, ard call our contemplated
match off for all time. Since then
we have been on friendly terms,
more or less at least as | had disup-
posed, aid on the last two oe-
casions when you wrestled at
Waterloo and GardneryilIe, you
made the acquaintance of numer-
OTIS friends Of mine, AID | do not
hesitate To say that they became
admirers Of yon for your victories
over Mr.. Nolan and Mr.. Hacken-
schmidt. ! have since learned
from lAem that you stated you
would like To conquer me next.
Quoting from your own state
meni, you have possibly iagain
encouraged 10 seek my scalp and
hang the ornament TO your belt"
In your eager scramble for .lory
aud what else you might gain, you
have overlooked friendship and
put me in II position that | very
much regret. Now don't miscon-
slluf that | am admitting you the
best wrestler in the world, or in
Nevada, or even in Gardneryille
llsvli, but have long since relax
ed from striving Tor athletic honor
ar my time Is too much occupied
otherwise, and personal experience
has taught me that professional
atheletics and business don't mix
we'll together.
1t is not that ! seek a shield to
avoid "A contest with you, but as
matter of explanation ! would say,
that at present | am engaged in
business that occupies my entire
time and attention. 10 find time to
train in order to get myself into
the proper physical condition to
meet you would be almost inn
possible. And again, insofar as
wrestling you or getting myself
into the limslight as professional
athlete, | feel at this time as | did
two years ago, as explained in the
fore part of my letter.
Now that | have taken the
trouble to correspond with you
personally, and put facts before
you, you might care to give the
matter OF wrestling me a further
consideration, and perhaps your
good judgment after all will per-
suade you to reconsider your
challenge and gain your laurels
elsewhere.
| am considerate enough to be
satisfied that it is not, possibly, of
your own accord entirely tnat you
have thrown this defy at me, aud
after reconsideration when you
review the contents of this letter
you may, as gentlemen, see
reasons why you should withdraw
your recent challenge and become
reconciled to look elsewhere for an
opponent.
