ages of Americus Vespucci, the L.
allan explorer.
Representative Hamlin of New

LATE DISCOVERIES
MEAN REMUNERATION
OF PARADISE VALLE,
Most Substantial Find Made I'm Bull
ion Mine Owned by the
Kemler Estate

Late discoveries of ore at the old
camp of Spring City at the head of
Paradise valley ore bringing about
rejuvenation OF that famous dis
trict that has produced millions in
bullion in the past.
The most substantial find SO far
reported is in the Bullion mine
owned by the Kemler estate, which
was one of the big producers of
that camp. F. M. buckingham, man
ager of the Kemler estate, states
that while doing the annual assess
ment work In a tunnel that has fol-
lowed the ledge into the mountain
for over seven hundred feet, fine
has been opened and 1t has the ap-
pearance Cf being permanent. The
ledge is eight feet wide and in this
big lead IA inch streak has ap-
peared near the surface that assays
at least 500 ounces in silver and
$3.50 in gold to the ton for the full
width. At the place where the rich
streak was discovered there Is a
bout 60 feet of backs and below the
tunnel leveltheground is all virgin
and yet to be opened up. The
tunnel in which the new discovery
was made is only four and half
fee. wide by six high and therefore
is only taking in about one half of
the big vein, the remainder of which
carries a good grade of milling ore.
Up to the present time not enough
work has been done to determine
the length of the new ore shoot,
but the rich ore still holds in the
face of the tunnel.
The new strike in the Bullion is
very significant when 1t is taken int
consideration that it was opened at
considerable depth below tie hold
workings of the property. Another
tunnel has been started on the prop
erty eli the ledge, 100 feet lower
down the mountain but will require
several hundred feet of work before
this bore will reach the new ore
shoot.
The bullion is one of the historic
mines of Northern Nevada and is
situated at the head of one of the
most prosperous agricultural valleys
in the state with plenty of water for
all purposes at hand.
In the early days of Paradise val
ley this property was one of the big
PRODUCERS and sent out thousands of
dollars in bullion to the mint

ence was asked to play for appre-
ciative and interested listeners land
she always graciously responded.
About II o'clock, delicious coffee
aroma from the dining room, told
the guests, the supper hour was
near at hand. All the girls went
into one room, the boys in another
and strings passed thru the partly
found their supper partners. Aftera
all had partaken of the appetizine
refreshments, the fun continued un-

ONE MAY PROTECT
HIMSELF FROM
UNPROVOKED
ABUSE

From now on, any man who is un
abused, may protect himself. even by
taking the life of the person abus-
ing him. This is according to a
supreme court decision recently
handed down. The decision was
written by Justice Sweeney and con-
Cured in by by Chief Justice Nor
cross, and Justice Talbot, and it
reversed the judgement and 'decis-
ion and conviction of "Slim" Grim
nett found guilty of manslaughterb
in the killing of Ed. Baker at Nina
nearly a year ago.
Grimmett shot Baker in a saloon
at Nina, while the latter was advan-
ing upon him, it is alleged, and re-
Wiling him. The case came up on al
appeal from the district court at
Goldfield.
The opinion is considered note-
worthy by the lawyers in that the
supreme court takes occasion to com
ment upon and define the circum-
stances under which person labor
ing under abuse and insult may
stand his ground and slay his antag,
onist.
The instructions of the court such
as oare ordinarily given in uch cas-
es were declared faulty in implicat-
tion when the court formulated a
rule, which will doubtless be oh
served in subsequent instructions In
similar cases.
The court said that it was the
law, that where person withoui
voluntarily seeking or provoking {
quarrel is subjected to insult ant
threat, and he believes, that under
the circumstances it is necessary tt
take the life of his antagonist IL
order to protect his own, he need
not flee, but may stand his ground
The doctrin is reversal of the
old doctrin of retreating TO the
wall, and Is not especially novel in
criminal law, The old doctrine has
been abrogated time and time again
In the later decisions.

COMPETITION
INTAKINGUP
LOVELOCK
LAND : !..IS
KEEN

A number of Lovelocker's had
planned to take up a large amount
of land in the vicinity of the lake.
recently but lost out by about an
hour in getting their filings in.
The lucky ones were Fallonites
who through their agent, J G.
Sparks were successful over the
by the short space of go minutes.
The proposition gives an insight
into the peculiar occurrences In con-
nection with the placing of public
landson the market. This tract of
land over which there was such a
rivalry in securing was withdrawn in
1902 when the Truckee-Carson pro-
ject was laid out. The tract was or
dered restored to entry on December
81 at the U. S. Land office at Car
son at 8 a. m. Mr.. Sparks for
the Fallonites was on hand at the
proper place at the appointed time
The Lovelock man was also on hand
but the plans of his clients was to
take the land under the Carey Act
being interested in the Lovelock
reservoirs.
To do this they had to apply at
the State Land Office to have the
Ian set aside to the state. On
the other hand the Fallon people
proposed to take it under the des-
ert land act.
The result was that 1t became
question of who got there first.
The u. S. Land office opens at o.
a. m. while the State Land Office
does not open until 10 IA. m. This
gave Mr. Sparks an hour to the
good and he succeeded In securing
nearly 1000 acres of the choicest
land for his clients, before the Car
ey act people could get the land wi
withdrawn. 1t was only open for
settlement just one hour, but to
those who were next" that evident
ly was long enough
Mr.. Sparks was In Lovelock the
latter part of last week, and will
make arrangements to prove up on
the land.

We have not yet heard of celery

this palatable vegetable is grown
about Fallon with profit. The Chu

Every one familiar with the wond-
erful vegetable growth in this val
ley need not be surprised at the
opening up of large markets for our
products in other sections of the
country. However, it is pleasing to
know that even celery is becoming
an importana export commodity froI
Fallon. 0. J. Vannoy, in the north
eastern suburbs of the town has
made a great success of celery rails
ing this year. His product is crisp

Matthews to Reno, Fairview, Love-
lock and as far as Austin, not
withstanding the express rates on s
such long haul.
A1r. Vanaoy gives special atten-
ton to trucking and the poultry
business and 1t Is well worth the

PURCHASE
IRRIGATION
PROJECT

An option on the purchase of
the works and entire project of the
Humboldt-Lovelock Irrigation Light
and Power Company has recently
been granted to company of East
'ern men. Negotiations havel been
carried on for some time, between
the officials of the big irrigation
company and the eastern capitalists,
and the final terms of the option
were but recently agreed upon by
the stockholders of the company.
The property and the project of
this company comprises, the reser-
voir dam and ditch sites of the COM
pany, located at Mill City and near
Humboldt House along the Humboldt
river, togather WITH aH the con-
struction work already performed
which comproses a large concrete
diversion dam in the river near Mill
City, and several miles of diverting
plements of the company, which rep
resents a cash expenditure in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Another
asset of the company is the right
to appropriate flood waters of the
nboldt river. The project of the
company is the storing of these
1 flood waters at the reservoir site
and using them for irrigation and
power purposes.
The terms of purchase as stated
i'll the option. is the payment to the
corahapy of IN amount equal to all
thatskas SO far been expended by
the company in the construction
work with the exception of the
first 1Oc assessment that was lev
led on the stockholders. In adj
dnion t. pay ing this money, the pur-
cnasers agree IT, complete the reser
voir within a specified time of three
years, to construct it in a thorough
and competent manner and exactly
rs outlined in the plans. They ag-
rec also to give to the company tEe
in the reservoirs for irrigation pur-
posesat the rate of 75c per acre foot
Ii there is any water in the reser-
voir at any time the company may
call for all of the water or any part
OF it they desire, whichthe purchas-
ers must deliver to them at the stip-
ulated price of 75c an acre foot.
1t is said that the prospective
purchasers of the reservoirs are to
take over large tracts in the lower
end of the valley, including the big
five ranch, and that these ranch
deals, have been pending some time
for satisfactory solution of the
water question which would enable
them to secure sufficient water to
irrigate their land.
The stock holders of the Hum
boldt-Lovelock Irrigation Light and
power company are all favorably i'm
pressed with tn proposition. They
will secure the water they planned
for in building the reservoirs, and
the rate will not be higher, for as
one of the stockholders saidto
Tribune reporter, it would cost US
75c an acre foot for the upkeep of
the big project. We will get back
the money we have been out SO far,
and will secure for an assessment
of 1Oc share what we figured
would cost us from $1.00 to $500 a
share.
