of new peers would render certain
the passage of a home rule bill for
Ireland and other radical measures.
Consequently, much against their
will, they have had to surrender to
Asquith's views and advise the adop-
ton of the measure. The veto bill,
originally passed by the house Of
commons, was amended by the lords
and is now back In the commons for
concurrence in the amendments. AS
quith asserts that the amendments
must be defeated in the lower house.
The roll calls on the questions of
striking out the amendments will oc-
cur in about a week, and another bit

MAJOR GARDNER
LOCATES COPPER

Antelope valley is to be the
scene of great mining activities this
fall, if all goes as now planned
Major Gardner has located a prom
Using property in the district and
yesterday the incorporation papers
We're filed and the stock will be
placed upon the market at once. In
speaking of the property Yesterday,
Mr.. Gardner said:
We have had this property for
some time and have been sampling
it and prospecting on a small scale
and have become satisfied that we
have something of value. So prom
Using is the outlook that several
miners have volunteered to go tc
work at once on the property and
take wages out the stock of the
company. We feel that we will be
able to develop big property at
once The property is located near
Topaz in Antelope valley, and we
have a showing of copper and lead
which is some two hundred feet in
width and the cropping extends
from five hundred feet in length.
There is absolutely no country rock
nor quartz between the walls and
the vein lies in contact between
delamite and diorite. History OF
copper mining tends TO show that
groupings of this character foretell
large deposits of high-grade ore.

CROSS CONTINENT
WITH A MOTORCYCLE

Two-traveled stain individuals,
riding equally weather-beaten motor
cycles, arrived in Winnemucca at
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon They
were William Naryauskas and Joe
Baltuss of Springfield, Mass, who
left New York on July 81, to ride
across the continent to San Fran
cisco. They are mounted on 'In-
dian" motorcycles, two-speed, four
horsepower, 1911 model fitted with
tires manufactured by the United
States company.
The journey is being made for
the express purpose of testing the
tires, and the cyclists claim that
they made the run from New York
to Winnemucca with the one set,
and that indications are that they
will last for the balance of the
journey.
Last night was spent at Battle
Mountain, and the speedometers on
the machines registered 65.- miles
when they stopped in front of the
Central bar, the distance having
been covered in about eight hours.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
MULTIPLICATION OF FLIES

A female house fly which has hi
bernated in dwelling-house or
elsewhere may produce in the
spring, at the lowest estimate, 120
eggs. Assuming that one-half of
these hatch as females, and allow
ing that the breeding goes on with>
out check for four months. we have
as the descendants of a single hi
bernating individual 214,557S44,-
800, 1000, 900, 100000 flies. Now, a
house fly measures exactly one
fourth of an inch in length; the
distance around the earth at the
equator is said to be 24,S00 miles
1t would take, therefore, 3,6SS,312,-
900 flies placed end to end to go
around the world once. Using this
number as denomination, and the
number of flies produced in four
months from one mother as nu-
merator, we find she will give rise,
in the course of a summer, to near
ly enough flies to encircle the globe
at the equator 5000, and have plen-
ty of progeny to spare.

Child BURNED
To DEATH IN
FIRE At ELY

Fire, said to have been caused
by the overturning of a lamp, last
night destroyed the Magnuson build
ings, the residence and outbuildings
of Peter Altman, and several log
cabins between those properties and
the Nevada Northern railroad in
Lane City.
The two-year-old child of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Rowley was burned to
death i'll the Magnuson building. Mr..
Rowley is a churn drill man en-
ployed by the Nevada Consolidated
and was at work at Copper Flat
at the time of the fire, Mrs. Rowley
and five other children barely es-
Gaping with their lives.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Veal found
the remains of the child whe
fire had subsidized somewhat. When
the alarm was given John Steele
went into the building to search
for the child, but was unable
locate it, so rapid was the progress
of the flames
The child's head and trunk were
found by Veal at a place near the
west side and middle of the build
ing on the springs of bed, and
it must have been in different
room from the ones Steele searched.
The arms and legs were burned
from the body and almost entirely
consumed. The child's name was
Kenneth and it was the next young
est of the family of six children.
