REVIEWING TESTIMONY

Governor lOddie and Attorney-Gen-
eral Baker have announced that they
will review the testimony in the
Smith and Preston cases before the
pardoning Board gives its decision
in the matter which was argued be-
fore them and the other members OF
the Board yesterday.
As both members are new on the
Board and this is the first time this
case has been submitted to them they
naturally are asking proper time to
go over the evidence in such an i'm
portant case. From the amount oil
testimony on file in the original case
and the petitions for new trial will
be plenty to keep the new members
busy for a number OF days if mol
weeks.

SHEEP HERDER
FOUND DEAD

Victor Aris obell, a sheep herd
er employed by Martin Sorrensen,
was found dead Wednesday morn
ing On the Sorrensen range in AL
pine county By the mans side
lay his shotgun and gaping wound
in his face told the story of his
death. As near as could be told
the man had been dead about four
days before his body was found.
The suicide theory has bsen
hinted at but those who viewed
the remains before they were NOV
ed, express their belief that the
mans death was due to an acci-
dent and that he had stumbls1
over a rock, and in the fall the
gun had been accidently discharg-
sd.
Undertaken krummes was call
ed to Markleeville and the funeral
was conducted at that place yes-

HEARING POSTPONED

The hearing OF the passenger rae
hearing, which was ordered by the
Railroad Commission against the
Southern Pacific Company, which
was billed for to-day, has been post
poned until September 18th. This
was found necessary as several mem
bers of the Railroad Company are
absent from the coast, among them
Chas. S. Fee, the general passenger
agent.
This morning when the case was
called c. b. Sealy of the passenger
department, and G.. d. Ssuires, the
railroad attorney, appeared before
the Railroad Commission and asked
for the postponement. At the same
time the railroad officials are prepar-
ing passenger travel schedule both
in Nevada and to California points,
which will be used as basis on pre-
senting the hearing and the adjust
ment of rates by the Nevada Com

HIGH GRADE ORE
At PINENUT Mine

At a meeting held Monday by
the stockholders of the Pine Nut
Consolidated Mining company,
the old board of directors, con-
sisting of G. w. Emigh. K. Robin
son and J. J. Brockliss were re-
tanned in Office.
Things at the mine are assuming
. very encouraging aspect and now
that Manager Emigh is again able
to take charge, although still on
crutLss.
The ore is improving in richness
with depth and an assay made by
the Carson Assay Office a few days
ago from rock taken from the cross
cut on the 124-ioot level gave gold
values of $172.84. The ore Ut that
depth does not carry the rebellious
minerals that was found near the
surface which has prevented sue
cessful milling. The ore from the
124-foot level is to be milled just
as soon as conditions will permit.

WORK STARTED
ON HIGHWAY

Grant Merrill was down from
Woodfords Wednesday and reports
that work on the new state high
way in Alpine county is progress
ing rapidly. The road from Wood
fords to Hope Valley has been put
in excellent repair. Beginning

mental auto travel.
Five other crews of road build

result in much good for that Sec

PLUNGE BATH
OPEN SUNDAY

The new plunge bath at Valley
Springs was completed this week
and will be opened to the public
Sunday July 10th. The manage
ment OF the Springs is arranging
to entertain a large number OF
guests on that date and it expect
ed that quite a crowd of Valley
people will be presen at the open
ing of the baths.
The big tank, without question,
is one of the best of its king in the
state. 1t is built on sanitary
plans and the water flow is so ar
ranged that there will be a con-
tinual stream of fresh water run
ming into the tank every minute
of the dav and night. The hot
water is elevated into the tank by
a hydraulic ram while the cold
water is piped from spring high
in the mountains.
A shipment of up-to-date bath
ing suits have been received and
will be used for the first time at

WILL RESUME
OPERATIONS

K. w. Carman, general manag-
or of the Longfellow Gold Mining
company, arrived from Cleveland,
Ohio, last Friday and continued to
his company's property to make
an inspection on the mine, after
which he will return to Cleveland
where important business demands
his immediate attention.
Mr.. Osrman has spent sthe past
year endeavoring to raise funds
with which to complete the mine
equipment at the Longfellow and
continue development work. He
states that he expects to be able to
carry out his plans within a very
short time.
The wildcat mining schemes
promoted by fake pr romotors for
fleeing eastern investors, have
made it next to impossible to sell
stock in Nevada mines no matter
what kind of a proposition you
have. Nevada mines are looked
upon as all being in the category
OF the George Graham Rice type
and the honest promoter has many
obstacles to overcome.

EXCESS BAGGAGE

Dogs are to be considered excess
baggage by the Oregon Short Line
and Union Pacific roads, the rule
taking effect on the first of this
month and I'll persons carrying ca.

at the rate OF 100 pounds per dog.
According to the new ruling the
company will be responsible for the

be valued at more than SIS.
The Southern Paciffc has not yet
taken any action but it is likely that
the same rule will soon apply to all
the western Hartman lines.
