MADRID. Sept. 19.-Spain is to
lace a crisis equal in gravity TO that
following the riots in Barcelona in
1909. The situation is bad and mar
tial law has been declared. The
agitation and the power OF the agit-
ators on the masses have increased in
proportion TO the rigor Of the repres-
sive measures undertaken by the gov
ernment
What " its origin was purely labor
movement. has now developed into a
revolutionary conflict. a commune
having actually been proclaimed at
Two towns, near Valencia. AT these
places. the authorities were driven
out OF the districts.
The affiliated trades unions have de-
cided TO call a general strike tomor-
row, throughout the length and
breadth of Spain. and the government
abandoning the tone OF optimism
heretofore maintained. today, decid-
ed upon the drastic step of suspend
ing the constitutional guarantees"
throughout the whole country.
IL was explained. however, that in
so doing, the government did not
seek to persecute the trades unions.
but II Was made quite clear that any
attempts TO stir up a rebellion would
be vigorously punished. All meetings
have been forbidden. The military

DIR. A. 6. Mckenzie, of Boston. Mass
achnsetts, has been in Yerington for
several DAYS visiting relatives and looking
over the copper mines in this district
Mr.. Mckenzie is a stockholder in the
Nevada Douglas mine and visited the
mine about two years ago with the party
made up in Boston at that time to come
out to this country, but only saw the
Nevada Douglas and Ludwig mines.
This trip he was taken to the other
mines of the district, which convinced
him, without doubt, it is a copper
country, and he is much pleased with
what he saw, and values his interests
much higher than before. He departed
for home Wednesday, first visiting Vir-
ginia City and Salt Lake.

Spectacular Getaway

Frank Morris has gone camping and
expects to remain in the high Sierras for
couple of months. Frank is one of
the leading tonsorial artists of Yering-
ton, and of late the activity in our rap
idly growing town had become quite
strenuous for him. He is a bully good
fellow, but needs rest, which he will
undoubtedly get in the mountains. He
took pack animal with him when he
left here this week to carry his camping
outfit This horse he loaded up the
night before his departure, and the ami
NAL becoming tired of standing around
took a spin about town and scattered
frying pans, kettles. camp stoves, dishes,
bedding, etc. broadcast about the town
This did not disturb Frank in the least

ceeded to repack, finally hitting the
trail day behind time. He has prom
ised to send each OF his numerous friends

Good Prospect

C. A Terwilliger, who is operating a
gold prospect on the East Walker, about
two miles east of the Charlebois ranch,
is meeting with considerable encourage
ment. He has shaft down about forty
feet on a small ledge that is showing up
inches in width and is sort of oxidized
porphyry lying between two basalt walls,
or the foot WALL may be an altered
granite. He is sacking the ore as it is
being taken out, and as it is not high
grade enough to ship from that point
and make much money on, he will make
run in the old Davidson mill, above
the Strosnider ranch, as soon as he gets
out sufficient quantity. The ore runs
from SIS to $40 per ton.

mento diocese, arrived i'm Yerington
last Saturday, accompanied BY Father
Molyneux, who went to Reno to meet
him. This is the reverend gentleman s
hrst visit to Mason Valley. He was
agreeably surprised at the short distance
between Reno and Yerington, and also
at reilroad facilities in these parts. On
realiZng the agricultural and mineral
resources of this section he bespoke for
the valley reign of development and
prosperity unequaled in any part of the
State.
He also paid Father Molyneux richly
deserved compliment for what he had
done in the community in church affairs,
and also for the welfare of the COM
munity generally.
On Sunday the Bishop celebrated mass
at the parish church and administered
holy communion to the confirmandi At
the 10 O'Clock mass the Bishop occupied
the pulpit and preached plain, forcible,
and eloquent sermon on the divinity of
Christ and the authority of the Church

WATER SYSTEM
City Council Entertains Proposition of c. n. Green
to Bond City and Install an Up-to-Date
Municipal Water System

we expect to have in a couple of years.
Mr.. Green has offices in Chicago, Los
Angeles, Spokane and Guthrie, Okla
homa, and is in touch with bankers,
bond-buyers and attorneys who make
bond issues their business.
The proposition he put up to the city
was very fair one. 1t provides that he
shall prepare all legal documents, pay
for the same, have all publications made,
and, in fact, do all the work of this
nature; superintend the installation of
the plant and guarantee it BY test to
furnish the water and do the work that
shall be specified, and take his pay when
the plant is in running order and accept
ed by the city.
Should the bond issue fail to carry at
an election all the city will be out will
be about $50 for the preliminary steps
taken.
After the matter was discussed for a
couple of hours, from every standpoint
the Council unanimously passed a reso-
luton authorizing the Mayor and Clerk
to sign up an agreement with MIR. Green
to begin operations as soon as possible
and it is believed that the initial steps
for the installation of a water system
will be taken inside of thirty days. Mr.
Green also stated that if everything went
along smoothly there would be little
doubt of the system being in operation
before the first day of next January.

After transacting the usual amount of
business last Monday evening and allows
ing the regular bills, the CITY Council
took up the matter of a municipal water
system with an engineer by the name of
Green, who had dropped into to look
over our town and see what was. needed
in the way of water-works. Mr.. Green
Expressed himself as highly pleased
with our little city and made very in
teresting talk to the council. He came
here with some first class credentials
and also exhibited contracts he had
signed up with a number of other towns
in different parts of the country. He
convinced those with whom he talked
that he knew the water business from
the front of the book to the back. He
plainly stated that the principal reason
that made Yerington look good to him
was that her people were going ahead to
get things for hemselves-court- houses.
school houses, etc. Such things always
give outside people confidence in any
town or city.
At rough estimate MIR. Green thought
it would take about S35, 900 to put a
water system in Yerington. This would
be adequate to handle the business of a
town with population of 5000, which

STRAW STACK FIRE
CAUSES AN ALARM

Last Saturday afternoon the fire alarm
called the citizens to a burning straw
stack Just west of the Brooks Home
Cottage Hotel. The chemical engines
and big bucket brigade did hard work
and prevented the flames from getting
beyond control and into the sheds and
buildings. A novel way of fighting FIRE
was inaugurated when the derrick stand
ing near the stack was brought into play
and large forks OF straw were taken
ont of the stack and scattered over the
ground and sprinkled down by the city
sprinkler and team. Fortunately the
afternoon was calm and the fire was
soon extinguished. Had wind been
blowing il would have been almost i'm
possible to save any OF the Brooks prop
erty, and probably the Catholic Church
property and the Gallagher residence.
The blaze is reported to have started
from children playing with matches and
firecrackers near the stack. The dam
age done was not extensive in this case
owing to good fortune. but the parents
should be more careful with their child
rem and not allow them to have matches
and fireworks. especially around hay
stacks, barns and buildings.

THE PAGET TWINS
AS FRUIT FARMERS

Here is a.chance for you girls The
twin sons of Sir Arthur and Lady Paget
have purchased 2, 500 acre fruit ranch
in California, near Los Angeles, and
declare that they are going to become
American citizens and marry American
girls. They are % years of age, are
graduates of Oxford and are of fine stock
On the fathers side, they are decendent
of the Paget who won his Marquisate at
Waterloo, the mother was Miss Minnie
Stevens, the daughter of the late Baron
Stevens of New York.
Their eldest brother is a captain of a
regiment in India. He and their father
wanted the boys to go to the army; the
nutirer entirely approved OF their becom
ing American fruit farmers. They seem
to be game boys. They first tried an oil
we'll in Wyoming which did not mate
rialize, and they worked good while at
$50 month each on the Northern Pacific
Railroad. OF course they will inherit
great wealth after awhile, but they seem
to have the stuff in them to break even
if they do not get the wealth. Naturally
the eldest brother will get the title and
most of the estate, but he will only be a
marquis. The boys when they get their
American citizenship papers will be
sovereigns.

MORE ABOUT
S. p. CUTOFF

A special correspondent of the Engi
neering and Mining Journal says:
1t is authenticity announced that the
Southern Pacific is considering a cutoff
extending through the Wonder and
Boyer camps in Nevada and across the
famous Osopp Valley salt fields. This
line will extend from Battle Mountain,
in Lander county, to Hazen, in Churchill
county, in direct line, and will cut out
the great curve in the Humboldt River,
saving 49S miles across the State of
Nevada. The line can he built for 81 , z
900, 900 and is important i'll connection
with the reduction of costs on the trans
continental traffic over the Southern
Pacific trunk line to such an extent that
the cost will be repaid in eight years.
The original survey was made by John
7. Reid and was transferred to the
Southern Pacific interests some months
ago. 1t is expected that decision in
regard to this cutoff will be made soon

RICH STRIKE AT
RAWHIDE CAMP

c. A. Terwilliger, President of the
Santa Ana Rawhide G. n. & NJ. Co.,
was i'll Yerington this week and reports
having made a new discovery of rich ore
on the ground of the Bluff claim in
Rawhide, which the company has leased
from the owner, o. B. Kemp. Consider
able work has been done on this property
i'll the past, and the leasers are still
operating it. A shaft has been sunk to
a depth of Us feet, and at depth of 100
feet in this shaft the ledge was encoun-
tered This ore is of good milling
quality, running from S20to SIS per ton.
At depth of so feet in the shaft cross
cut drift was started and advanced about
SO feet. The strike recently made on
the surface is about $50 feet from the
shaft AMI this drift OH the so foot level
is now being advanced to catch the ledge
which shows such high values OH the
surface. Samples of ore which Mr..
Terwillger obtained from the recent
strike and shown at this office are
literally Lousy" with gold. 1t takes
no glass to see the precious metal in the
rock, and a conservative estimate OH
paintings from this ore is that it carries
at least dollar pound in gold. The
Santa Ana Rawhide pc0ple are naturally,
very much elated ovel the new discovery
and are working hard to get some depth
on the ledge with the rich groupings to
see if the values remain i'll the ore at
depth. If they do the company stands
to clear up nice buuch OF money on
short notice.

WALKER RIVER
CLAIMS VICTIM

While crossing the Fast Walker River
at the Wichman ranch on Monday of
this week Young Indian girl lost her
life by drowning. The river is quite
high at that point and the current swift.
The woman drove into the water with
team and light wagon to make a cross
ing The wagon, apparently, stuck in
quicksand and the horses failed to pull
it out, but managed to kick loose from
the wagon and struggle out of the water.
The wagon continued to sink in the
sand until the water ran over the bed.
Just whether the young squaw fell out
of the wagon or the bed was turned over
by the current is not known, but she
disappeared in the rapidly rushing
stream. Soon her people were on the
banks of the river looking for her. but
not until several hours after the accident
did they find the body, and then it was
about two and half miles down the
river from where the accident happened.
The Young woman was a bright and
intelligent young girl about l9 years of
age, and had practically been raised by
Mrs. Geo. w. Webster when the Web
ster family resided on the ranch on the
East Walker. She had been taught to
be good cook, housekeeper, etc, and
the white people as we'll as the people of
her own tribe grieve deeply at her un-
timely end. The remains were taken in
charge by her relatives and given Chris
tan burial

PUMP IRRIGATION
IS SUCCESSFUL

That large ranches as well as small
ones can be irrigated. in this valley bv
pumping water has been thoroughly
demonstrated by Henry Brisson, who
has ranch of 100 acres lying north of
Yerington. Some years ago Mr.. Brisson
started to experiment on this line and
has continued until ne has mada sue
cess of it. He first put in AN S-inch
centrifugal pump and operated it hby
horse power. In this way he managed
to get large sump down about IL feet
below the surface. The pump drained
this sump, however, in few hours
when started up. To secure more water
Mr.. Brisson had three S-inch wells bored
in this sump. obtaining flow of water
from eacli of them, which discharged
into the sump. He then installed a 25-
horse power gasoline engine and hitched
it onto the S-inch pump. and is now get
ting an inexhaustible supply of water.
Just how many gallons the pump and
engine is handling per minute is not
known. but Brisson is getting big ditch
full of water enough to irrigate his en-
tire ranch-and the water is clean and
free from all weed seeds. whiclI will
make a wonderful difference in the ranch
in couple OF years. He has also found
out that the cost Of maintaining this
kind OF a water system is less expensive
than TO keep up series of bitches to get
water from the river. Then he has all
the water he wants all the time, never
being short when there is a shortage of
water in the river. II such system
will furnish water for 100 acres there is
no reason why smaller and less expen-
sive plants will not furnish water for 20,
10 aud S0-acfe farms in this valley Mr..
Brisson's well has cost more than others,
probably, from the fact that he has made
many experiments, some OF which were
costly failures that others can now avoid
