Some people OF this community
doubt the success OF the present Ell
forts being m.de to secure water ior
irrigation purposes, by both the
County Development people and the
private individuals who are after the
under ground flow.
Ormsby County is favorably situa
ted. 1t has one OF the best water
sheds surrounding the valley of any
place in she state. Almost perpetual
snow lies in the deep canyons to the
west. the Carson River flows to the
east and there is an abundance ol ar
tesian water to the north Of the city
and valley.
Take the mining camps, for in
stance. Upon the discovery OF Ton
opah it was a case of hustle for wa
ter. Plenty OF il was found in Rye
Patch. Water enough to supply the
mills, mines and the people is pump
ed to the City OF Tonopah There is
no shortage of water that camp.

NEW TRIAL IS
DENIED

Tbs afternoon the Supreme Court
rendered a decision in the matter OF
M. G. Smith, who was sentenced
from oldheld to three years in the
pententiary for high grading. The
decision of the Court upholds the
lower court Ihd Smith will have to
serve his term. The opinion is
signed by Justice Sweeney and Tai
bot, while Judge Norcross writes a
dissenting opinion, to the effect that
new trial should be granted Smith
on errors
Smith was an assayer in Goldheld
The testimony as reviewed in the
case shows that Bart Knight. J. Hill
debrandt and Martin Miller were al
SO connected with the crime They
were arrested at the time, but not
enough testimony was furnished to
form conviction Their cases were
later dismissed.
Between the lot some four hun
dred dollars worth of bullion was
taken from the plates of the Consoli-
dated mill on February Is, 1910.
Something slipped and the lot were
arrested. The fact that all were
prominently connected and we'll
known in the camp started consider
able discussion and feeling at the
time. many setting up the plea that
it was part of the work of the Con-
solidated Company to get rid of the
men whom they did not want in the
camp. Since Smith was sentenced to
a three-year term there has been a
continued fight for his release, the
claim being set up that new evidence
was obtainable and that at a second
trial the conspiracy would be estab-
lished, The decision of the Court
to-day settles the matter as far as
Smith is concerned

on an active volume Of business stock
market prices moved TO higher levels IN
the two hours Of business, net gains OF
point or more being common among the
prominent issues. Sentiment was favor
ably impressed by the reports OF rail-
road earnings received, especially those
Of the Northern Pacific: by the decrease
in the number Of idle freight cars by the
generally optimistic tone OF the com
mercial agencies reports and by the
confession Of the Los Angeles dyna-
miters. the last named factor being con-
sidered important in its relation to the
attitude Of organized labor toward cap
ital in the future. Wall Street believes
that the confession Of the McNamaras
eventually will lead TO active house
cleaning by labor organizations ana the
EXPULSION Of that element which Tor
wears has devoted its entire time to de-
.elopine trouble between labor and cap
itaI rather than working to promote the
best interests Of our honest laboring
men. American Car and toundry'
Interborough- metropolitan preferred Le-
high Valley, Reading, Union Pacii'c'
United States Steel and the Gould shares
were notably strong features in the last
hour Of trading, the rise In the Gould
group evidently being based upon the
cxpectation of an early publication OF
tbe plan for the reorganization Of the
Wabash Pittsburg Terminal, under
which the Wabash will receive an
amount of much needed cash. Wabash
preferred advanced more than points

Missouri Pacific 2ls.
If the bank statement had been pub
ushed before the close of business there
might have been something Of reaction
in stock prices in the final trading, as
the figures showing cash and reserve
were extremely poor. although appar-
emily representing nothing beyond pass
ing conditions. Deducting the reports
of he trust company members OF the
Clearing House, the banks alone eX-
bibi,ed a deficit, while the showing o. ell
members rs Of Friday night reflected a
reserve above legal requirements of only
81 3OS 900, n loss of $7,663, 400 from a
week ago. In the average statement the
reserve was $4,175,000, which compares
with S11.SI7O5O AT this time last year
and S7.714,6j0 in 1909. Actual cash
holdings decreased more than $4,000
600, which was offset in part by a con-
traction in loans Of so, $4,000. Under
.ae circumstances the stiffening Of call
monoy rates to q per cent in the week
was extremely moderate. The demand
on this centre for funds for Canadian
and California account evidently has
about run its course, and with the firmer
tendency in the loan market it is quite
probable q large movement Of money
from the interior TO New York soon will
SET in. The actual position of the Amer
lean money market is based on strong
underlying factors, and as the country
has a large trade balance with foreign
countries and has loans TO the amount OF
$50 OOO0OO outstanding in Europe,
there is no possible reason for appre-
hcnsion over the monetary situation.
