Bond Election Carries

ON Wednesday of this week the citi
zens of Yerington District No. 9 again
voted to bond the district for the pur-
pose of building and furnishing a new
school house. This time the bond issue
was fixed at s22, COO and the rate of in

tise for bids to construct the building
and then it may be expected to soon see
the building i'll course of construction
I he amount to be raised on the bonds
S22. .00O-will construct building of
sufficient size and equip it for service for
many years to come, and will also pro-
cure spacious grounds and put the same
in nice shape.
There were only eight votes against
the bonds at the election Wednesday,
which shows that the great majority of
the people of the district are i'll favor of
good schools and the advancement of
the district.

On Thursday night of last week a
couple of smart young fellows in Smith
Valley tried to work big scare on a
couple of young ladies of the valley and
their escorts. Miss Maggie Palmtag and
Miss Ella Schooley had gone to the
postoffice that evening for the mail and
were being escorted home by Martin
Peterson and another young man when
two bold, bad highwayment with masks
over their faces confronted the party and
demanded their valuables. The girls
screamed, jumped fence and ran across
a field to their home while Peterson and
his partner proceeded to tackle the fake
highwaymen and give them a drubbing
which will make them think twice before
they again attempt to make anybody
look foolish before his best girl.

GRAND JURY MAKES
A SHORT REPORT

The LYON County Grand Jury which
was i'll session here this week concluded
its labors Thursday and adjourned.
The jury found true bill against Al
Mann, charged with grand larceny; two
bills against Bud Williams, one for grand
larceny and one for attempting to break
Jail; two bills against c. A. McCarty,
one for issuing A fictitious check and one
for attempting to break Jail.
The charge against Les Bradley for
issuing fictitious check was ignored, as
was the charge against II. Pilkington
for resisting an officer.
The jury examined the county Jail at
Yerngton and in one place in the report
says: I'VE find it to be in fair condit-
ion but not suitable for conining des-
perate characters, while in another
place it remarks I'VE recommend that
steps be taken at once to provide a
county jail, as the present Jail located at
the county seat is disgrace to the coun-
ty of Lyon.
The Sheriff is commended for placing
watchmen at the Jail at the present time
and recommends keeping them there
while prisoners are confined therein
The jury reports a bad condition of
affairs near the Sanders school house
and the attention of the Board of Health
is called to the condition and a recon-
mendation made that the evil be at once
abated
The jury recommends that the Board
of Commissioners see that the county
indigents are supplied with food suitable
to old age, i'll the nature of vegetables,
eggs and other nutritious foods, also
that some sort of rug or floor covering
be placed in front of each cot for the
comfort of the occupant

WILL START WORK At
CH|PMUNK SPRINGS

Ben Fisher was an arrival from San
francisco and Virginia CITY the latter
part OF last week. He has made sale
OF third interest in his eight claims
Ill the Chlpmunk Springs section of the
herington district and with the money
secured is arranging to do as extensive
development work as possible on the
property. The ground lies between
thirty and forty miles southeast of Yer
in2ton, near the Mount Grant section.
and Mr.. Fisher has already done consid-
cradle work on some of the claims. He
has tunnel driven 1870 feet. cross-cut-
ting the formation for ledge that shows
width of 100 feet on the surface.
Irenching on the surface shows the ore
to run from $ to SIS in gold and ) per
cent Ill copper. 1t will be necessary to
advance this tunnel to point 1900 or
400 feet from the portal to tap the big
ledge, but there are other surface lodges
which will be cut at lesser distance.
Nhen tne tunnel reaches the l4OO-fOOt
point it will cut the ledge at depth of
over 1000 feet from Il e surface. The
nature of the present work will be to
keep the tunnel going ahead, and for
this reason Mr.. Fisher has secured a car
and lot of rails and will build new
blacksmith shop, another cabin, and lay
in supply of grub so that the winter
months will not in any way interfere
with the work. He has been holding
this property for a number of years and
has great faith in it, Fisher is an old
Comstock miner, and says the formation
of the property at Chipmunk Sp.ings is
identical with that OF some OF the best
ones on the ComstoCk

Cars for Gypsum Shipments

The Southern Pacific Company has
set aside fourteen large gondola cars
for the use of the Copper Belt Company
when the gypsum shipments begin from
the Nevada Douglas mine. This is two
cars for each day in the week, and as the
cars are of 50-ton capacity each it means
that the mine will send to the reduction
works, in Reno, 100 tons of gypsum per
day These shipments will begin about
the first of next month, or as soon as
the Copper Belt is completed to the
mine. This gypsum, as we have before
stated is the purest yet discovered in
Nevada, or any other State, so as far we
know, and the deposit is also the most
extensive known. 1t will be nice
source of revenue for the Nevada Doug
las Campany.

LYON COUNTY
HOLDS TERRITORY

The Supreme Court handed down a
decision last Saturday in the case of
Lyon county VS.. Story county, wherein
Storey tried to grab strip of Lyon S
territory. The decision sustains the
decision of the lower court, which de-
cided the case in Lyons favor many
months ago.
The suit was one of the results of the
Strengthening of the Southern Pacific
track east of Reno, whereby Wadsworth
was cut off the main line and the line
con staucted a mile or more south of the
old one. This happened in 1904 and it
threw little more of the railroad into
Lyon county, but Storey contended that
the new line was in her territory, and on
that contention the railroad company
paid taxes on that strip of road that
year i'll Storey county. Lyon county
brought suit against Storey to recover
this tax money and secured judgment.
The matter OF the boundary line between
the two counties was threshed out very
thoroughly i'll the first trial. but Storey
appealed the case and it had been before
the Supreme Court many months before
the final decision was rendered
This settles the matter for all time and
it is to be hoped that the surrounding
counties will let Lyon alone and recog-
nize the fact that she is amply able to
take care of herself whenever the oc
casion arises for her to protect her own
interests.
Storey county owes Lyon between
3, 800 and s3, 900 OH the Judgment, so
pun2le up and look pleasant

AN IMPORTANT
LAND RULING

A dispatch from Washington saws that
Representative Mondell has Just secured
from Secretary Fisher a very important
Interpretation of the 520-acre homestead
law, making it possible for entrymen
who have taken less than the maximum
under the law to enter new additional
Land up to the full amount Heretofore
the Interior Department has held a
directly opposite view.
More than year ago Mondell called
the attention OF the department to the
fact that this provision was not in ac-
cordanCe with the terms of the law or
sound policy He had continuous cor
respondence and many interviews with
officials of the Interior Department
since that time, with the result that Sec
missioner of the General Land Office,
has held the criticism of the Wyoming
member well taken; that the provision
in the department circular of iustruc-
tions to land offices was not in accord
ance with the law or sound public policy,
and directing that the language objected
to be stricken out.
New Instructions will be sent to all
land offices. The result of the new in
depreciation will be to enable entrymen
to acquire land to the full amount

Green Food From Lawn

A small lawn may be used to advan-
tage in supplying the poultry with green
feed during the summer by cutting Just
enough each day to meet their daily
wants. Feed them all they will eat,
but do not cut more than they will con
sumo, for then You are wasting valuable
feeding matter.
If YOU have lawnmower, cut strip
or or two in the morning and feed to
your poultry, and another strip later i'll
the day. This may not make the lawn
look any too we'll, but it will be serving
the poultry with all the green food
thev need during the entire summer.
