VALUEBLE Mine
IN JUMPED

Ed Mollart and a number of
other Buckskinners jumped the
Kennedy Con. mine at Buckskn
on the first of this month. The
Kennedy Con. is copper and gold
property which was located in the
Buckskn district some years ago
in fact, we believe it was the first
location in that district, says the
Tunes. Senator Pitt, of Loveloek,
and Messrs Campbell and Kennedy
are the owners of the property and
considerable work has been done
on it, and it has been under bond
several times. Enough work has
been done on the property to en-
title the owners to a patent to most
of the seven claims in the group,
and the lcompany has made the
application for patent. Whether
or not the papers are far enough
along 10 exempt the company from
doing its annual work in 1910 we
are not advised, but there will
have to be some strong proof of the
work not being done, the patent
proceeding not far enough along,
or the intention of abandonment
clearly established before such a
property as the Kennedy Con. can
be jumped and held without some
legal contention on the part of the
company. Senator Pitt has been
in Yerington and out to the mine
this week and seems to be satisfied
that he has things arranged so that
there will be no trouble for the
company ia mold the property.

WANT CHANGE IN
PRESENT SYSTEM

Attorneys throughout the State
are again working to have the
United States Government arrange
to have the Federal Judge of Neva-
da hold Court in more places than
in Carson City. They say that he
should hold court in Reno, Gold
field and Elko, three different parts
OF the State, as we'll as in Carson,
and that it would save expense,
time and trouble in litigation. The
claim is made that it would be of
much benefit to business men, who
have to go to Carson for jury
service in the Federal Court, and
would also save litigants much
time and expense. A petition will
be sent to Congress concerning the
change.

DEATH CLAIMS
T. BOWERS.

Thomas Bowers, who fell and
broke his leg on Christmas Day,
died Wednesday evening about
nine o'clock at the home of James
Kane, of this place. At the time of
accident the physician who was
called said that owing to the To-
cation of the fracture and the ad-
vanced age of the patient, very
little hope could be held out for
his recovery.
The deceased was born in Ire
land in 1882 and came to America
when he was II years of age. He
settled in this section OF Nevada in
the Cos. In the early days OF this
Valley he was closely associated
with Hal Clayton and for several
years had charge of the Fulstone
ranch, then owned by Clayton.
He built the station on the Glen
brook grade known as Saints
Rest which he conducted for some
time. OF late years he had made
his home with his nephew's family.
Since his accident the old gentle
man was given the tenderest care
through the long virgils by Mr..
and Mrs. Kane.
The remains were shipped to
Carson yesterday where the funer-
al services will be held from the
Catholic church tomorrow.

Was a Big Storm.

Last weeks storm was one OF the
everest as well as being the most
needed In the past sixteen years.
When the storm abated Friday
afternoon there was l6 inches of
snow on the level on this side Of
the Valley while 26 inches fell in
Genoa, about four feet at Marklee-
vale and between three and four
feet at Double Springs.
The outgoing stages 10 Marklee-
Vile and Wellington were unable
to get through and were compelled
to miss a trip. During Friday
night light rain set in and the
following morning the snow had
settled at least half. Sleighing
was out of the question and wheel.
ed vehicles were not out OF COM
mission.
The heavy wind that accompani-
ed the storm drifted the snow in
the canyons and it is the general
belief that fall in the watersheds
of the Carson river, is sufficient to
furnish an average supply of water
for next summon.

SOLD
FOR TAXES.

The sale of delinquent taxable
property was held .insGenoa Mon
day in accordance with the pub
lished notice. Before the date of
sale the following owners, who al
lowed their property to go de-
linquent, paid their taxes with the
added penalty and cost of adver-
tising:
Mrs. Jane Doris, $3.35; Ken
ned Con. Mining Co. $15.4S; A. &
O. Talburt, $l5.4S; Wabuska Cop
per Co. $15.4S.
The Burk & Mclaughlin prop
erty, consisting of a small house
in Buckskin, was bid in by VIM.
A. Westerfield for $3.35.
E. L. Wyatt took one thirty
second part of an acre and paid
the taxes on 80 acres assessed TO
Joe Ferretta amounting to 5000.
Peter Bell took one-half of the
Eastern Gold Mining company
property and paid the taxes, $7.39.
VIM. A. Westerfeld took so
acres and paid the tax on 240 acres
assessed to Geo. B. Wheeler, 1882,
Tax Receiver Jepsen reports that
the sale was one of the most spirit
ed ever held in this county. This
is especially true of the so acres
assessed to Joe Feretti. Six bid
ders were in the field and after the
5-acre point was reached, the bid
ding was between L. NJ. Jacobsen
and E. L. Wyatt. The eighty in
volved is grazing land on Pine Nut
creek, and the price spaid by the
successful bid makes land in
that vicinity worth $95.SS. These
figures sound like bargain counter
allurements, but they are not.

WHAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT THIS?

An endowment of the stork was
recently recommended TO the
American Sociological Association
by George Elliot Howard, professor
of sociology in the University of
Nebraska. In an address on
"Social Control of Domestic Re-
lations" he declared the State
would honor motherhood by en-
siowing mothers.
parents who raise families,n he
said, "are entitled to payment and
security from the State the same as
a soldier or Judge or any other
public servant. The woman who
gives a child to the State should be
allowed an income by the State for
taking care of that child"
This Recommendation followed
the address of Professor Walter +.
Wilcox of Cornell, who said that
there will be no children in the
United States under five years of
age in the year 2020. Babies, ac-
cordingly, will have disappeared
from this country as early as 2015.
