dead man was an agent of the
Black Hand sent to Spokane from
New York about six weeks ago for
the purpose of killing Frank Bruno,
the notorious dive keeper. and
leader of one of the factions of the
local colony.
Still others scout the Blank
Hand story and declare that the
killing of Ricolli must have been
the outcome of private feud.

Copper Belt Railroad.

. A local mining engineer who has just
returned from Lyon County, Nevada
informs the Mining Review that the
Copper Belt Railroad, the passenger de-
partment of which is operated as a
motor line from Wabuska to Yerington
and Mason City, has commenced laying
track from Mason City to Smith Valley,
passing up the West Fork of Walker
River, and adding something like twelve
miles to the present completed portion
of the road
This extension will open up much
promising mining as well as agricultural
country. 1t will place transportation
ten or twelve miles closer to Pine Grove
and Rockland, at both of which places
mines of importance exist and are to be
opened up as soon as the winter is over.
Grant Mc..htain, Aurora and Bodie all
may share in the benefit from this ex-
tension.
There is not at present much activity
around Yerington and Mason Valley
camps, but preparation for development
on large scale is being made, with
talk of smelter and concentrating
plants.
If the copper market keeps up, Yer
ington and Mason Valley deposits will
greatly augment the output of that
metal from Nevada Los Angeles Min

sibie to spray a tree OF any size effec-

applies except that only one side of
the trees is sprayed and then watch
opportunity and with changed wind
spray the opposite side. By this meth
cd the spray will not fall on men or
animals, but will be blown through the
trees. BY the exercise of little
