New Wild Horse Trap

The catching Of wild horses ought tc
be a very easy matter and profitable as
well il trap which has been invent
ed by G.. X. Woods of Winnemuoca be
used. II has the merit of being very
simple, yet thoroughly practical and II
never misses. Mr.. Woods has given his
trap a thorough test in the hills and II
has proved an entire success. says the
Star.
The contrivance is made OF steel, Is
very light and cannot easily get out oi
order. In practical use it is set IN the
trail, among The rocks or at q watering
place frequented by wild horses. The
trap and the loop attached to 1t are
lightly covered with dirt so as not to be
seen and the trap is sprung when
horse steps UPON it. A strong spring
operates to tighten the running loop
around the horses fetlock and the
animal is caught. To the other end oil
the rope a weight is attached and the
animal cannot get very far away from
the place where he is trapped and his
final capture is easily effected.

DEVELOPING ARTESIAN WELLS
Satisfactory Results Are Being Secured
In Several Nevada Valleys

great deal of attention is being
given to artesian well drilling through.
out the State the past year. Since
water in abundance was found at Las
Vegas every big basin in the State
promises to yield water when it is
drilled for. Many Of the big sheep and
cattle ranges that have been shy on
water for stock, have tried experimental
wells and in nearly every instance good
results have followed.
The Elko Free Press has the follow.
ing interesting data on wells that have
been drilled by the Nevada Land and
Livestock Company at and near Deeth:
The first well was put down at Malo-
vista, about 20 miles north Of Deeth
and az depth of about 400 feet, the
water came to within about four feet of
the surface. The machine was moved
a short distance aud the second 4.inch
well was put down to the same depth
with the same result. Windmill pumps
have been put in each of these wells
aud good supply Of pure water is OBJ
tanned.
The drilling outfit was moved to the
Cross ranch, six miles north Of town and
two four.inch wells were put down,
about 500 feet, quarter of a mile apart.
The upper we'll is now flowing about
$4,000 gallons per day, while the lower
we'll flows about SO. 600 gallons each "a
hours The water has temperature of
80 degrees and contains sulphur and
soda. but the stock seem to like it as
they will cross the river to drink the
water.
The last well was put down at Deeth
to depth of 270 feet and a flow of 60
gallons per hour was obtained. This
water is quite salty to the taste. and as
it comes mp out of the pipe is heavily
charged with gas. The company is
having it analyzed as they belive it is of
highly medicinal character. Next
Spring more wells will be put down in
this section of the county by this COM
pany.

Hamilton Gun Fighters
Are Heavily Fined

Ely Record: August Munter and
Nick Lapolla, who INDUCED in an old
time shooting match at Hamilton about
two weeks ago, were arraigned before
Justice Cartwright yesterday, and were
fined $500 each. or six months in the
county jail. Both men plead guilty to
carrying concealed weapons.
Justice Cartwright did not enter into
the particulars Of the cause leading mp
to the trouble between the meu which
resulted in many shots being fired in
the business portion of Hamilton, and
it was not necessary to do SO, as the
men plead guilty to the charge of carry
log concealed weapons, and we're given a
sentence which will go far towards
putting down gun plays in White Pine
County.
In sentencing the men Justice Cart
wright stated that it was his intention
iu the future to make the habit of gun
packing unpopular in White Pine
County.
These decisions are in line with pub.
lie sentiment in this county. Tax
payers are tired of being put to heavy
expense in cases growing out OF the
habit of gun packing. Justice Cart.
wright has received congratulations
f. ON many prominent citizens on the
stand he has taken.

Fire Drills in Public Schools

At Ely, according to the Expositor
remarkable success has been obtained
in the fire drill in the public schools
there, as the following clipping will
show: "The fire alarm was sounded in
both the grammar and high school
buildings this afternoon at 1880. 1t
took Just one minute and II seconds
from the time the alarm sounded in the
grade building until the last pupil had
left the building and was fully 200 feet
away, and only ten seconds to clear the
high school bailiing. Every movement
was executed without trace OF excite
ment or confusion, considering this was
only the second time the fire drill was
tried"

NEW HOMESTEAD DECISION
Government Placest Forest Settlers on
Equal Footing With Land Holders

Government Placest Forest Settlers on
Equal Footing With Land Holders
Under an agreement reached between
the Secretary Of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture, settlers on the
National forests under the Forest Home
stead Act will no longer have to stand
the burdensome expense of double
survey. according to announcement re-
ceived from Washington.
Heretofore upon taking a forest
homestead it was necessary to have it
surveyed by the forest service before it
could be listed with the land office for
designation as open land. Under the
rules of the land office another survey
under the supervision of the Surveyor
General was necessary, the expense Of
both being borne by the settlers.
The new arrangement places forest
settlers on an equal basis with those
who take ordinary homestead land. 1t
Is held to be an important primary step
towards the unlocking of the public
lands tied up by forest regulations. The
original surveys of the forest service.
upon being checked up by the Surveyor
General. will hereafter be sufficient.

aone by the method laid down in this
pian. The political connection is in'
herent in the constitution Of the pro.
posed reserve association. It's governor

engaged In farming has fallen from
