DID WINNEMUCCA RESI-
tDENT COMMITS SUICIDE

j. B. Gramm, familiarly known
as Jerry one of Winnemucca S
oldest residents, committed suicide
Tuesday morning shortly after 8
o'clock He had been injured In
The Grand Saloon, the evening befor
by a couple of frequenters of the
place who got into row, and in tn
scuffle that ensded, he was unable
to get out of the way, and was
thrown with considerable force
the floor, receiving injuries to his
hip and leg, and it is presumed that
the pain from this caused him to
commit the rash act.
Jerry Gramm came to Humboldt
county during the Civil War and
located at Unionville. During the
7O's, Gramm & Westfall conducted
the first bank in Humboldt county
ii being a private institution. At

ALFALFA ASPARAGUS

1t took a woman to discover that
alfalfa roots are just as edible as
asparagus. Louisa F. Weinland, an
irrigation rancher In the Spokane,
Washington valley, decided that If
alfalfa was so nourishing for animal
that 1t must be good for man also.
and she thereupon set to work try
ing to cook it as she would asparagu
She was successful and when she
tried the result of her work on an
unsuspecting man, he called for Sc
ond helping. He declared that he
didn't know but that he was eating
asparagus, and then the neighbors
tried it, and as a result growers OF
asparagus will have to look to their
laurels.

BLACK CANYON PROPERTY
HAS been LEASED

Messers. H. G.. Waller and J. S.
Hanawalt of San Francisco, have Sc
cured lease on the Borland prop
erty in Black Canyon, near Humbol,
House They are developing the
property by drifting on the vein froi
a 2OO-foot crosscut at depth of
$50 feet. Some $4,000 in high
grade was taken out of this property
two years ago by leasers from pock-
cts in surface and shallow work
ings. and the ore shoots at the
depth of the present workings
should show up some big values.
Great interest in this lease Is be-
ing taken in local mining circles,
says the Winnemucca Silver State
as it is considered the best prop
elty in a rich and at the present
time very active district. Messers
Walker and Hanawalt have encoul
tered several small pockets of ore
showing free gold and expect some
thing substantial in the next 25 or
80 feet.

The dead body of Wash O'Neal.
ono of the early settlers of this
county. was found in his cabin in
the old mining camp of Spring City
last Saturday, says the Humboldt
Star The body was lying on the

cious that something was wrong and
he went to the deserted camp and
found the old man dead in his cab
in. The body was taen to Paradise
Valley, where an inquest was held
by Justice Bradshaw, the verdict be-
ing that death was from natural eau

CAREY Land ACT IS
EXPLAINED

The public lands of Humboldt
county are being taken up very rap
idly and this office has frequent
calls for information concerning the
best method of securing title to a
tract of Government land, says the
Winnemucca Silver State. The pro-
visions of the Carey land act are
very clearly set forth in the follow
ing article from the pen of Charles
A Norcross, state commissioner OF
Industry, agriculture and Irrigation.
What the Carey Act is, how it
will be applied in Nevada, and the
proceedings of reclaiming the 1000
NO0 acres of public desert land grant
ed the state by congress, is the sub
ject of bulletin No. 2, just issued
by the new Nevada bureau of In
dustry, agriculture and irrigation.
The bulletin contains 48 pages of
printed matter relative to the Car
ey act, including government and
state laws, regulating of the inter
ior department and of the state com
mission, ard a complete explanation
of its workings. 1t will be mailed
to any address on request at Car
son City, enclosing two cent stamp
to cover postage.
What is the Carey Act?
There is no act of congress of cd
ual Importance to the arid land sta
tes, concerning which there is less
popular Information, or, to speak
plainly, more misconception of its in
tent and purpose. While the arid
land states have been applying the
law extensively for the past ten
years, the inception of it's applica-
ton in Nevada back but little more
than a year At the present time,
Nevada is attracting great attention
as a field OF exploitation under the
Carey act and already projects and
applications involving more that a
million acres of laid are on file in
the divisions of Carey act lands un-
der the new bureau.

INVESTIGATE SUDDEN
DEATH OF WOMAN

Sunday afternoon, on number six,
woman known as June iMauro"
was taken from the Restricted Dis
trict" in Lovelock to the county
hospital at Winnemucca. She was
in very precarious condition and
died that same night at IL O'Clock,
after arriving at the hospital. In
reference to the case the Silver Stats
OF Tuesday gives the following:.
"The inquest was resumed this af-
ternoon shortly after three o'clock
before Coroner Dunn and the coro-
ner's jury, consisting of the follow
ing: A. w. Stowe, R. H. Dunn, r.
W. Lewis, J. Sloan, Harry Bonnifiel
and E. N. Stidd. The taking of tes-
timony was begun yesterday after
noon at five O'Clock, and showed sim
ply that the woman had died of
some form of opium poisoning.
Today (Tuesday) DR.. West, the
.ounty physician of Lovelock, was
the principal witness. He testified
as to the condition he found the
woman in when he was called
in to examine her. He was certain
that she was suffering from some
form of opium poisoning and treated
her for that. Her condition was
such that he did not think she could
t,Ix Ntv,n uyn nf
her own accord. He rather believed
it must have been given her by som,
one.
DR.. West stated to the jury, af-
Ter the taking of the testimony had
been completed, that he had treat
ed the woman on several occasions,
the last time about two weeks ago,
and that at that time she did not
show any indications of being ap
opium, fiend. If she had become ad'
dicted to the use of that drug, 1t
| must have been very recently.
Mrs. Gates, the nurse employed at
the county hospital, followed the
doctor on the stand. She testified
principally concerning the care Civ
en- the woman at the hospital and
as to certain conversations with her
She had not been able to get the
| woman's name, but the latter said
| chat her home was in North Lin
| coin, Nebraska.
Nothing is known concerning the
woman's identity, though a telegram
received by the coroner from Love
lock this afternoon stated that the
sender believed the woman to have
gone under the name of Lochart.
At the time OF going to press the
inquest was still in progress and an
effort was being made to secure the
attendance of teamster who, it
was said, had known the woman ant
could shed some light upon the que'
lion of her identity and her relatives
