DOLLAR POKER LIMIT is
WOMEN'S FAVORITE GAME

In suit brought recently in the
municipal court of New York City
by Victor G. Emden against Mrs.
Hattie Yocum, former wife of a
rich man of the west, to recover
$50, the papers in the case develop
ed that Mrs. Yocum and a number
of other young women were in the
habit of playing dollar limit poker
game, and sometimes raising the
limit to the roof in gambling
house run for women on West
Forty-eighth street.
Mrs. Yocum, if the affidavit in the
suit speaks the truth, had the hab-
it of playing poker in the place
several times week. Emden de-
clares that she often won and lost
and that on January IA last, while
in a game with five other women,
she bought $50 worth of chips,
making check in her own name
in payment. The chips were always
bought from Emden, who cashed
them after the game broke up.
Later, it is declared, Mrs. Yocum
ordered the bank not to honor the
check. When papers in the action

GRAPE RAISING
new INDUSTRY
FOR NEVADA
COLONY OF ITALIANS RAISING
GRAPES FOR WINE IN BUENA
VISTO VALLEY.

One of the most important indus
ries and one which will be watched
with eagerness not only by the fruit
raisers and ranchers, but by others
as well, is the grape raising BUSH
ness which has been started on
large scale in this county ana
not many miles from Lovelock. Erie
Johnson, formerly one of Lovelock
valleys most progressive ranchers,
but now located near Inlay, was
in town the early part of this week
and in speaking about the new in
dustry to the Review-Miner repre-
sentative, said:
"A colony of thrifty Italians, re-
Gently from California, have settled
in Buena Vista valley, some fifteen
miles southeast of Inlay, and it is
their intention to go into the grape
raising business on a very large
scale Altogether there are 100 of
the settlers and the section where
tney nave located, which only a
short time ago was barren waste
OF desert, is now dotted with homes
and is being made to bloom.
Already two car loads of Crane
slips have been received at INLAY
and they have been hauled to Buena
Vista valley and planted. Several
small gasoline engines have also
been taken to the settlement and
these will be used in pumping the
water for irrigating purposes. There
is plenty of water near the surface
and it will be an easy matter to
supply the small amount necessary
for the cultivation of the grape
vines. The soil and conditions gen.
orally in Buena Vista valley are
adaptable to grape raising and there
is little doubt but that the new
enterprise will be ccess.-Love-
lock Review-Miner.

prominent mining operators on the

nation of the Big Six property,
near Sulphur, upon which leasers
have recently opened up high-grade
SILVER ore and have already made
several shipments. Mr. Salisbury is
interested in one of the leases III
the Big Six and from all reports
of the showings on the property
he and other leasers are in the
money strfng.
Speaking of the mining outlook,
both gentlemen were very optimis-
tic, saying that all Indications are
for a return of the prosperous times
that prevailed for several years In
Nevada prior to 1907. They also
stated that mining men generally
look upon Humboldt county, with
IS numerous producing camps and
new and important strikes, as offer

INCREASE IN WEALTH

Helena, Aug. 18-Montana is
growing fast in wealth. The in.
crease in the total valuation of all
property in the state this year
over the total valuation last year
is more than 23,5OO, 900 based up
on the unqualified assessment re-
turns which were tabulated today
by J. J. Ryan, clerk of the state
board of equalization.
The total valuation of all pro-
perty this year, basing the rail
road valuation on last years as
sessment, is 1888, ,466, ,465, against
total valuation last year of 5000,
673,699. The equalized assess.
ment returns will make a change
in this years figures. but it will be
relatively small.
The biggest individual item is
real estate, then comes all personal
property excepting livestock and
then livestock. The equalized
figures this year compared with
the equalized figures last year are:
Real estate, 1859, ,146,254, against
$152,544,254 in 1910; livestock,
$34, ,944,O ,O71, against $37,123,378 in
1910, and all other personal pro-
perty, $63,67S,894, as compared
with $54,3O9,s21 in 1910, or total
of $267,77O,219, against $243,977,
453 for last year.
The railroad valuation for 1910
was $65, ,696,246.
Interesting facts are to be
cleaned from the returns. They
show, for instance, that the sheep
industry ranks third in Importance
in the livestock industry of the
state as whole, cattle raising oc-
cupying first place and horse rails
ing second place. The livestock
returns place the valuation as fol-
lows:
Cattle, $11,781, ,O57; horses, $11,
695, ,225: sheep, $l1,301, ,185; hogs,
$780, 1886; goats, $4,028; elk, $24O.
and buffaloes, $4,000.

rection in regard to the article
published in the issue of Aug. 4th
about w. E. Best, Milwaukee
operator. After thoroughly look
ing into the case, we find that
said party was not under the in
fluence of intoxicants, nor was he
aware of the fact that he was in
the city limits, while cleaning out
his revolver, and that he had no
intention whatever in disturbing
the peace of his neighbors, and we
gladly make this retraction as we
would in all cases of law abiding

MONTANA CROPS A REVELATION

Billings, Aug. 16.-T That Mon
tana is really one of the great
agricultural states and that the
excellence of it's farm products
would be a revelation to people of
eastern states who have an idea
that the Treasure state is merely
a region of mountains and of
plains fit only for grazing purposes,
is conclusion reached by James
A. Wilson, director in the expert
ment station at Saltwater, Okla.
Mr.. Wilson is making a tour of
the northwest for the purpose of
studying agriculture conditions,
and he admitted today that what
he has already seen is a monster
surprise to him.
II have never seen greater evi-
dences of soil fertility and good
climatic conditions for producing
crops than in Montana" he said.
This region is truly wonderful
one, and the splendid crops of
every description reminds me of
those grown in the Mississippi
valley states during the most
favorable season of former years."

a bright light was seen cleaning from

upon the closely-drawn window shade.
