Young
Mothers

No young woman, In the Joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
TEN for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all It's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
junction. No better advice could be
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; it Is a

PATENT MOP
HOUSEWIVES
WILL RELISH
AN INGENIOUS INVENTION THAT
SAVES WOMAN A DISAGREE
ABLE TASK.

One Of the most valuable and
ingeniously simple inventions for
everyday use which has been seen
in Tonopah in a long while is the
patent mop now on display at the
Bonanza office. 1t is an invention
that every housewife will appreci-
ate.
The advantage of this mop is
that it saves the user the necessity
of wringing it out by hand when
it takes up a lot of dirty water.
With this one a doubled wire run
ming through the center of the MOP
is given a twist by cog-wheel
above it, on the handle, and the
instrument is thoroughly cleaned
without putting the hands to the
mop itself.
This patent mop possesses sc
many advantages over the ordinary
one on the market, is so hygieniC
and cleanly that it should be adopt
ed in every household in the town
A moments inspection will convince
one of its advantages.

his breast and the order to Fade
Away" was given and obeyed.
When early in the morning Dick
Miner, then struggling young at
torney, but now practicing in Gold
field, where he has a good practice,
cut the rope and let the body drop
to the ground, he little knew that
in the crowd of men who were
standing around were many of us
who had carried shotgun the night
before and, that some of those who
were asking the questions were the
men who walked out with the rope.
Miner was cautious and his re-
marks were apt and to the point
as he answered: Il don't know any
thing about it; furthermore l don't
want to know anything about it, and
if / did know anything about it, |
would forget it as soon as possible.
1t won't do to let this body hang
here all day for the women and
children to see, and somebody has
to cut him down, so | will do it."
There were many stirring days
after that in Bodie but when q
note was received by any undesir.
able citizen signed with the mystic
number "601" the city would have
one less resident within a very few
hours. We never knew of anyone
making any easy money by telling
Kittrell who the membership was
and in the meetings afterwards there
was many smile when Kittrell''
figure was brought to mind in hi
Bodie getaway.
We are both old now, general
and those days have all been wipeC

marks. Yours truly,

STRATUM OF OIL is
UNDER WABUSKA FLAT

The theory is revived that there
is a stratum of oil under the Wa
buska fat, despite the fact that oil
has only in one instance ever been
discovered in any quantity above
sea level.
Three outfits are drilling at Wa
buska and are down about 800 feet.
They are seeking water, but it is
said that the shale through which
they are passing shows indications
of oil
Dad" Walker, who claims to
have been the first adherent to the
belief that there would be oil struck
at Bakersfield, says that he is con-
fident that a depth of 1900 feet oil
will also be found at Wabuska, al
though he does not state his grounds
for this belief At all events, the
water drillers will not cease work
until they have demonstrated the
presence or absence of oil, unless
they strike such a heavy flow oil
water that they are forced to aban'
don the wells.

MEMBER OF OLD BODIE
"6OI" TELLS A STORY
OF PAST EXPERIENCES

The following communication ap-
pears in the Carson News of Sunday,
and the story of the "Doings of 601".
in Bodie is fresh in the minds of
many residents of the southern
county:
Editor News:-I read in your pa
per lately letter which had been
written by former Attorney General
John r. Kittrell, clipped from the
Eureka Sentinel.
The letter brought to my mind
the stirring scene when last | saw
the general. 1t was in the winter
of 1880 in Bodie, CAL, and was
at the time of the hanging of De-
roche by the "601" of that then
booming city.
If there are any of the old-timers
in this section who were in Bodie
at that time they will remember
that the vigilantes went very quietly
about their work and cleaned that
place up in most excellent shape
The tough element of the city who
were receiving notes informing them
that the section was too small fol
them, thought to save the day by
organizing a law and order league
This league had a nice name ant
that was about all, for at one o.
their meetings a citizen received {
bullet in the bowels that interfereC
with his digestive organs for somt
months.
The law and order league uset
to hold its meetings in Boone's cor
raj, which was located in the cen
tral part of town and, being sur
rounded with a high board fenc
on the top of which were row
of nails, was often used as a larg
hall. The 1901" who were the bes
citizens of the town. were quick t
join this organization and of cours
were well acquainted with its acts
1t was the day following tn
hanging of Deroche, and the black
smiths derrick which was used a
gallows, was still over the Grim
son spot that had stained the snoV
from the wounds of Deroche's vic
tim. The law and order leagu
had met and it's speakers were dc
nouncing the men who had hange
Deroche. General Kittrell was on
of the speakers and was perched VI
on a large dry goods box, shattel
ing the wintery air with his burnin
eloquence. AS he stopped for a MI

friend overlook him with a buggy
team and escorted him to the coun-
ty seat, where he told Embarrassing
tales of the bad men of Bodie.
AS far as l can remember that
was the last time | ever saw Kit
trell, and if he ever returned to
Bodie, it was under the cover of
darkness or in deep disguise.
The "601" had taken violent
dislike to the attorney on account
of the methods he had employed as
one of Deroche's attorneys. Deroche
had escaped from his jailor and
taken to the hills after his arrest,
and this fact, coupled with the fact
that the deputy sheriff in charge
of the murderer had been accused
of taking money from Kittrell to
let the man escape, put all in a
bad humor

General and talk over again those
