First Case
is Received

The first case for the Utility
Commission has been filed 1t is a
complaint on the minimum charges
exacted by the gas apd electric light
and power people. The complaint
sets forth that the companies charge
minimum rate of one dollar for me-
ters. Should there be less than one
dollars worth of either commodity
consumed the charge remains the
same. This will be taken up by the
Commission as soon as the new en-
gineer arr in this city, which is
expected some time next week.
From the amount of daat that
many parties are asking from the
Commission this new function Of
state affairs will be kept on the hus-
tie and the new engineer will have
plenty of work ahead of him.

Alpine County has had some hard
set backs in mining way, but with
modern machinery and smelters at
hand this part of the world will soon
come to the front. The trouble has
been that most of the ore DEVELOPED
has been of base nature and thus
prevented treatment on the ground.
With two smelters building in this
section and railroad half wav to
the property there is every reason
to believe that Alpine will come in
for share of the general mining
boom now on throughout Nevada
and the border line. There seems
TO be no question as to the quantity
and quality of ore in that section. All
that is needed is modern treatment
and cheaper haulage

to this section and will leave for his
diggins at Loope. Mr. Curtz, during
the past two years has carried on a
lot of development work in the old

OF copper-silver ore has been opened
up. 1t is proposed to further devel-

all the various petty kingdoms and be-
came king Of England in S2T. The
greater kingdom was disrupted from

Edgar reunited the kingdom. and since
that time it has never been partitloned.

Curious Way of Catching Fish.

Indians of Bolivia have peculiar
method Of going fishing. A writer in

use the milk of the mamma or soil
man tree, the scientific name of which
is, think. Hurat crepitans. of the
euphorbia genus, for catching fish. I
went with some of the Indians to u
lagoon in the forest. Here. boating on
the surface of the water. perfectly
alive and yet absolutely unable to get
away, were fish of all kinds. big and
small. from which they selected the
most paatable for food. The milk rs
merely poured into the water. and as
1t spreads every fish which comes In
contact with it becomes paralyzed and
yet is not affected as food. Moreover,
the effect appears to last for several
days without killing the fish. The milk
is also used as a cure for toothache, as
caustic and for the purpose of sui
eide. for wl,sah teaspoonful is en-
ployed. AS a poison they say the re-
suits are painful"

Rnfus Steele. In Mustangs. Bustef1
and Outlaws Of the Nevada Wild Horse
Country" In tire American Magazine,
tells Of the glorisus sport of capturing
and training wild horses. Busting"
is no sport for novice. Real busters
are trained to the game from child
hood. He writes:
"A touch of the spur or a flick Of
the quirt signals the start. His~knowl-
edge Of what to do must be heritage
from his ancestors. for all horses do
1t, and all American wild horses are
sprung from horses that once carried
men. He pops down his head and levi
tates straight heavenward. While he
and you are high in the air he archss
his back and stiffens his body to iron
rigidity. Thus he comes back to earth.
The sensation to the rider is us II his
spinal column had been struck by a
pile driver. The impression is not
analysed at the time, for the horse
goes into the air again Immediately.
He swings TO right or left. or he
changes ends completely while in
the air. and you come down facing
southwark. whereas you were facing
northward when you ascended."

Max O'Rell was exceedingly popular
as lecturer. and the way in which
his mother viewed the suggestion that
her son should take to the platform IS
worth repetition. She wrote to him
from the native village which she had
never left for more-than day to say
that she did not think appearing before
audiences to be reputable business, and
when he replied that he had decided to
do it and had signed contract to that
effect the dear old lady wrote back that
she was ''still' his loving mother and
that she would tell no one in the vii
lage about it.
