SECRETARY OF STATE BRODIGAN
MARRIED IN SAN FRANCISCO

Secretary Of State. George Brodigan
is a married man. The ceremony was
performed in San Francisco during the
last few days, but as yet George has not
found time to tell anyone about it.
The news was first received in this
city through the columns of San Fran
cisco paper which in its Marriage Iii.
cense column said:
BRODIGAN BONEYSREELE -
George Brodigan 40 Goldfeld and
Margaret I. Boneysreele, 23, Wheel
ing, W. Va.
That is the entire story as far as
known but everyone here believes that
George has gone and done it. 1T was
only short time ago that he was talk.
ing about building house in this city
for his future home and his friends of
long years standing grew quite suspi-
cious but his innocent smile threw them
off the track and he went calmly on
his way. A short time ago he was
called to San Francisco to attend to
some business matters and now we
learn that he is married.
Well, here is looking at you, George
Come home soon with the Missus and
you will be welcomed with the best
that Nevada has.--Carson News.

MILES OF GLACIER
ROADS IN HUMBOLDT

John Jose, representing the Antelope
Springs Mining company, and Jack
Tonkin, of the Conner Placer company,
recently had an experience covering by
team the distance between the mine
and the town of INLAY, in Humboldt
county, Nevada. The distance is TWEEN
ty miles only, and yet it took them
from 9:30 a. m. until l O'Clock next
morning, fifteen hours, a mile and a
third an hour, to cover that distance,
on account of the great sheet of slip
perry ice which spread out over most
of this distance.
'Our horses were smooth shod, -
they write, $50 you can imagine what
a time we had for miles over this great
sheet of ice. First came that heavy
snow; then thaw which filed all the
cracks for miles; then a cold snap
which made "A solid glacier of slick ice
for miles in every direction. Four
miles below Inlay flat we got stuck
and had to abandon the wagon. All
the way one man had to go ahead on
foot to pick road
Last spring during the flood in this
district the old Humboldt river swellef
70 such proportions that in places it
was ten miles across. At both the Su
rerior and Antelope properties ore is
niled mp awaiting good roads, when
shipments will be made again.-Herald

GREAT EXCITEMENT
ON THE MOUNTAIN

Shortly after the first Of the year
w. G. Adamson, the well-known mining
operator and superintendent of the In
termonntain Mining company, and his
foreman, John r. Turner, purchased
from" Rawhide jack Davis a group of
claims situated on the north side of the
west point of Winnemucca mountain,
distant from town about four miles by
direct line The first of the week sam
pies of ore were brought in to the
Winnemucca Assay office which are
said to have shown values of from
$27 900 to $1,000 per ton, in gold.
Although it was evidently intended
to keep the matter quiet, in some un-
accountable manner the news leaked,
and Wednesday morning a stampede
began from town which has kept up
since. As result the entire country
for a radius of several miles has been
staked, claims having been located to
the north as far as Barrett Springs, a
distance of about four miles.

STRIKE HICH-CRADF
IN TUNNEL NO. 5

President John E. Pelton, of the
National Mines company, accompanied
by Mrs Pelton, arrived from camp at
noon today in his private car, driven
by Charles Haeffner. The start was
made from National yesterday morning,
and although the trip usually requires
but five or six hours, owing to the con-
dition of the roads from Is to 20 hours
was spent on the trip. Seen at the
Lafayette this afternoon by represen-
rative of the Silver State and asked for
news from the big mine, Mr.. Pelton re-
piled:
"Since the last attempt was made to
hold up the mine several weeks ago
we have been bending our energies
towards making improvements that
will make a repetition of such an oc-
currence impossible. The mine is now
equipped with a marine lighting plant
and the watch tower has a 13-inch
marine searchlight, by means Of which
any person approaching the light can
be easily recognized at distance Of
two miles by the aid Of a fieldglass.
We now anticipate no further trouble
from the evilly disposed.
''Last Tuesday high grade was en-
countered in tunnel No. 5, at a vertical
depth of $50 feet and at a distance of
1900 feet from the mouth of the tun-
mel. We have ground opened up in
this tunnel that will furnish steady en-
ployment for months to force Of $50
miners. However, w eshall not increase
our output until we have enlarged our
milling facilities, which will be some
time in the spring.
"What dividend did you pay this
month, Mr.. Peltons' inquired the re-
porter.
''Our dividend this month was 10
per cent was the reply, "and that Of
last month Is, which brings the total
dividends paid since the 26th of last
July up to so cents per share on the
outstanding stock. -
Mr. and Mrs Pelton will leave for
Reno on No. 3 this evening aud after
spending a few days visiting friends
in the state 8 metropolis will leave on a
month or six weeks trip to Southern

SENTENCING OF
WOTEN POSTPONED

District Court was convened at 10
'clock this morning, with Judge
Ducker on the bench, for the purpose of
taking up the matter of sentencing
Riley Woten, convicted at the Decem-
Der term of murder in the first degree
for the killing of Deputy Sheriff
Holmes at National last August.
Woten was present in court with At
torney T. A. Brandon, his leading coun-
sui, General James Donovan, having
failed to appear. The Court announc-
ed that, owing to the fact that Judge
French, who presided at Woten's S trial,
was engaged in trying the Wichman
murder case at Reno, the time for
passing sentence would be postponed
until Monday, February 13, at 10
o'clock. 1t is thought that General
Donovan failure to be present in
court was due to the fact that be had
arranged with Judge French, at Reno,
for the postponement.
The Charleston Hill mining litiga-
tion, which had been set for hearing
before Judge French next Monday,
was postponed for one week.
The matter of Mills VS.. Preston, ct
al, was reset for Wednesday, Febru-
airy Is.

new PRINCIPAL
NOW in CHARGE

Professor ]. f. Graham, the new
principal of the county high school, ar
rived from Austin Thursday evening
and spent yesterday in becoming ac-
quainted with the teachers and famil-
iarizing himself with the needs of the
school.
Seen today by a representative of the
Silver State and asked as to the con
dition he found the school in, Prof.
Graham replied
~ should say that the grades are in
excellent shape, with a corps of fine
teachers. AS to the high school, there
is evidently something radically wrong,
as there is an attendance of but four
pupils in the forenoon and five in the
afternoon. just what the trouble is |
am unable to say at this time. Per-
haps it is not giving sufficient num-
ber of courses, and if this proves to be
the case, more will be added to the
curriculum, particularly commercial
course.
GAS I stated before, it is too early
yet to state just where the trouble
lies, but within a week or ten days
after I have had time to study the situ
alton and report my findings to the
county board of education, / shall be
pleased to state my views to the read
ers of the Silver State.'

NSPfCTS
THE new BRIDGE

w. A. Chaffee, an engineer connected
with the Reno Construction company,
builders of the new bridge across the
Humboldt river at this point, arrived in
town this morning for the purpose Of
inspecting the work and experimenting
the removal of the forms.
Asked this afternoon by represen-
tative of the Silver State if he found
the structure in a satisfactory condi-
tion, Mr.. Chaffee replied:
81 have not had sufficient time as
yet to make anything more than a
cursory examination of the bridge, but
everything seems to be in satisfactory
shape. I noticed little flaking on
the concrete walls, but no attempt will
be made to repair this at the present
time. After the weather has settled in
the spring, we shall make another in
spection of the work and make what
ever repairs may be found necessary
shall this afternoon make an examin-
alton of the forms or false work, and
if advisable will have them removed
the first of the week. -

THE LOS ANGELES
TIMES MIDWINTER NUMBER

The annual midwinter number OF the
Los Angeles Times has been received
and is more beautiful than ever. The
art color work the fine paper, the su-
.perb printing and the marvellous range
of reading matter about Southern Cal
ifornia and the southwest make it ex-
ceedingly attractive as well as inform
ing. The whole issue comprises over
200 pages, with sixty pages of illustra-
tions from photographs. There are al
so number of clever cartoons. The
brilliantly executed color pages OF
scenery, products and phases of life in
the Southland are especially appeal
ing. Eevrybody who has seen the num-
ber is delighted with it; and as a mat
ter of newspaper achievement it is all
the more remarkable in view OF the
fact that this great number made its
appearance January II, barely three
months after the Times plant was de
stroyed by dynamite and fire.

PROMINENT ARTIST OPENS
STUDIO AT STONE HOUSE

Miss Gene Lindamood, one of the
best known teachers of voice, piano
and harmony on the coast, has opened
studio at the Shone house Pupils
desiring instruction in the studies men
toned will be given thorough train
ing at a moderate compensation. There
is much native talent in Winnemucca
that only needs developing to attain
eminence, and Miss Lindamood should
experience little difficulty in securing
as many pupils as she can attend to-.

LOCAL BLOCKADE RAISED
BY WESTERN PACIFIC

This morning the Western Pacific
broke the blockade on its line by send
ing out a freight train to Gerlach,
loaded with passengers and sup
plies. 1t is probable that the train will
be run regularly until the difficulty to
the main line at Cresta has been over
come.
At the Office of Trainmaster Hamil-
ton no word has been received from
Cresta since yesterday, when it was re-
ported that work was progressing sat
isfaetorily. The wire did not state when
it was expected that the line would be
opened to traffic.

Low RATES ON
SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Beginning with the tenth of March,
the Southern Pacific will inaugurate an
unusually low "colonist rate' from
points in the east to Nevada and Cali
fornIa From Chicago the rate will be
$4,000, from St. Louis $4,000, while
from Missouri River points it will be
as low as $500
This rate of $500 from Missouri
river points indicates the great devel-
opment of the territory west of the
Mississippi river in comparatively few
years. Fortyfve years ago eolonists
for the coast country usually outfitted
at st. Joseph, Missouri, and started on
an overland journey that required
months to accomplish, if, indeed it was
ever completed. The trail across the
plains was strewed with the bones of
men and women who had fallen prey
to hostile savages, and those of ami
mails that had perished from exhaus-
tion. Today the colonist takes tour
ist sleeper and makes the trip with
greater comfort and more luxuries than
he is accustomed to at home.
There are thousands of acres of
fine lands in Eastern Nevada that can
be made to produce good crops and
support large population. The "col-
onist excursions inaugurated by the
Southern Pacific should prove a potent
factor in their settlement.

BILL TO SET ASIDE
100000 ACRES ARID LAND

Senator Nixon yesterday introduced
an amendment to the sundry civil bill,
setting aside two million additional
acres of arid government land in the
state of Nevada for entry under the
provisions of the Carey act.
Under the provisions of this act a
large acreage of land in this state is
to be brought under cultivation. The
first allotment is now practically gone
and there are many people who were
disappointed by not securing holdings
thereon.
The intent of the act is to permit
of the cultivation of the land through
colonization after the entrymen have
developed water supply and otherwise
made the way easy for the tilling OF
the soil.

BOARD Will HAVE
A BUSY SESSION

The county commissioners will meet
Monday in what promises to be another
busy session. While the January meet
ing of the board required week in
which to conclude its deliberations, it
is thought that the business of next
week may be attended to in three or
four days.
The commissioners will be called up
on to make several appointments, which
will include a jailer for the branch
county Jail at Lovelock and a justice of
the peace and constable for both Ma
tional and Mazuma. The leading can
didate for the position of justice at
the former place ran afoul of the law
here last Monday night and the ap-
pointment will probably go to some
other person. At MaZuma Judge Shaf-
er and Constable Mccarthy are candi-
dates for reappointment and it is
probable that Il. b. Mills, superintend-
ent of the Mazuma waterworks, will
also file a petition for appointment as
justice.
The principal appointment to be
made by the commissioners, however, is
a new superintendent for the county
hospital, and considerable speculation
is being INDUCED in by the local pub
lie and friends of the numerous candi-
dates as to who will draw the prize.
Every section of the county has one or
more aspirants for the position, chief
among whom appear to be w. l.. Viii
kinson, j. +. Sloan and Lester Piper,
of Winnemucca; William Freemonth
and Henry Miller, of Paradise, and r.
A. Organ, of Inlay. While each of the
candidates mentioned have many
friends who are urging their qualifica-
tions for the position, w. Il. Wilkinson
appears to be in the lead and stands
an excellent chance for the appoint
ment.
Will Name Official Paper.
The matter of naming the official
paper for the present year and letting
the contract for the county's job
printing will be taken up by the board
early in the coming session. According
to the advertisement for bids, which
appears in the Silver State, all propos-
ais for this work must be submitted to
the board not later than Monday at 2
0 clock. AS this is the first time in
several years that the county advertis-
ing and printing has been submitted to
bid it is expected that proposals will
be received from each of the county's
four newspapers.
Will Draw Grand Jury
In open court, this morning Judge
Ducker announced that, with the as
sistance of the commissioners, he
would draw the grand jury for the
present year next week. The first
meeting of the new grand jury was
also announced for the latter part of
this month or during the first week in
March.

GO TO CITY MARKET
FOR YOUR FINE MEATS

The new City meat market, operat

Gated in the Hustin- -Grandin building,
is fast acquiring a reputation for han.
ding none but the best meats. Their
beef is particularly fine, as they sell
nothing but young steers. Although
the City market has been opened but a
few weeks, it has already worked up a
large patronage, which is constantly
growing. See display advertisement on

EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO REPEAL GAMBLING LAW

The attempt to repeal the gambling
law will soon make its appearance
says the Gazette. Fitzgerald, of Nye
is thought to be the man who will in
troduce it into the assembly, for it is
well known fact that he is in favor
of radical change in the present law.
Quite a number of people interested
in having the gambling law repealed
are now in Carson and many secret
conferences are being held.
Just what the plans of the pro gam
bling element are is not known but
they are prepared to make a bitter
fight to reopen the state.
Failing in gaining repeal of the
law an attempt will be made TO obtain
local option on the question and fail
ing in that a strenuous effort will be
made to get the penalty for the viola
tion of the law reduced to a misde-
meanor
just what the result will be is at
this time impossible to foretell, but at
all events it is thought that there will
be fight waged which will rival that
of two years ago when the bill was
passed.

Will Greatly Benefit Nevada.

j. M. Fulton, district freight and
passenger agent for the Southern Pa
cific, in speaking today of the colonist
rates that will be effective next month
to a representative of the Silver
State, had the following to say:
"Nevada' prospects for the next
few years are extremely bright. The
Panama Pacific exposition will do a
great deal for this state, as well as for
the entire coast country, but it will be
some time before the benefits to be de-
rived will be felt. These rates
however, will be the means of greatly
adding to our population and general
prosperity within the next few
months. Public land is becoming
scarce, and today there is no state in
the Union where a man of moderate
means can make the money farming
that he can in Nevada. At Fallon last
year many of the new settlers sold
enough alfalfa, onions and potatoes to
pay the entire expense of their farms.
We have fine climate, soil, and, what
is more to the purpose, an unfailingly
good home market for all kinds of
produce. All that is needed is thrift
and industry, and success is bound to
follow.
"Here in Humboldt county, condi-
tions are unusually inviting for the
hemeseeker. A man may take up a
quarter or half section of land in the
vicinity of a mining camp, and from a
20-acre vegetable patch realize enough
cash to pay the entire running ex-
penses of his ranch
