PATENT PAVING MATERIAL

Come ime ago, it vii Re remon.
cred. sharp contest was on be
tween a considerable number of the
citizens on Walnut street and the citJ
administration with respect to the
character of paving that should be
put down on tina street. The citiZena
contended strongly for asphalt paving
while Mayor Parsons insisted uno1
krick-more as a personal matter
there is reason 10 believe, than any
thing else. The result OF the eonte st
made by the citizens was. however,
of benefit to the property owners On
that street. for they aroused strong
competition among bidders and the
cos of the pavement was cut down
about go lot under the estimates.
One impor ant point is called to
mind, in connection with this contest,
by recent deci ion of the Indiana su.
preme court. A strong contention
made against TIE asphalt or bitulithic
pavement demanded by the citizens
was tina. the material was patented
and therefore could not be used, b.
cause il would prevent competition
The Indiana court decided this claim
adversely. as appears in the following
from the Municipal Journal of April

Burned Out

On Tuesday morning of last week T..
NJ. TenEyck, who had small cabin on
piece of leased land few miles south
of Yeringtou, had the misfortune to lose
his little home and its contents by fire.
He had made fire i'll the stove that
morning and was preparing breakfast
when he discovered the ceiling to be on
fire. The flames spread so rapidly that
he had time to save nothing Dut the
clothes he wore. Mr.. Ten Eyck is quite
deaf, and probably did not hear the
flames in the ceiling and roof until he
saw the blaze. Friends here took up a
nice little collection for him and i'll few
days he expects to leave for Los Vegas
in the southern portion OF the State
where he has daughter-in'law, there to
make his future home.

Potato Affairs Discussed

The meeting of potato growers did not
mat erialize last Saturday night. DR.
Stubbs and Prof Mack. of the Univer-
sity, were here, however, and i'll the af-
ternoon had a talk with most of the
growers, a large number of them being
in town for the meeting called for the
evening. The matter was pretty well
threshed out and an inspector is now in
the valley to inspect all potatoes as they
90 INTO the cars. This inspector is paid
bv the growers here at the rate of SO
per car. If ne approves a car it goes to
California and cannot be interfered with
after reaching there If he condemns
the car it is shipped to Texas, where
they are not afraid of few eel worms.
The arrangement seems to be satistac-
tory all around and will prevent any
great loss to the growers this season.

BAD CHECK MAN
HOLDS UP OFFICER

Last Saturday chap by the name of
B. II. Mason arrived i'll Wabuska and
proceeded to make things lively, repre-
senting that he was mining man of
some importance, out of money, but
ready to do business. He persuaded d.
c. Beach of that place to endorse a $500
check for him. drawn on the Mancos
bank, of Colorado. The Lyon County
Bank cashed the check and Mason pro-
ceeded to have good time. He spent
money freely and game of poker put
him i'll Beach debt to the extent of sos
more. Another check was issued but
up with the money he had first borrowed.
Mason next pasS.d a SIS check on the
Yerington Drug Co. In the meantime
the bank here had telegraphed to the
Mancos bank and found that Mason had
passed number of bum checks on them
i'll California. N II. Van Alstine then
swore out warrant for Mason's arrest
and he was taken into custody when lie
arrived here from Wabuska, but not
placed in Jail, as the officers thought he
was nice fellow. Monday evening as
Deputy Sheriff Thompson went to con-
fine the man Mason stuck gun in
Thompson S face and relieved him of his
pistol; then told the officer to go up
town as he was going elsewhere. Tues
day morning Tom O'Brien dropped i'll
here, and he and Sheriff Randall soon
located Mason and put him behind the
bars. He had two guns on him. one be-
longing to the officer, when searched
Mason represents that he can make
things square by getting money from
friends i'll Colorado. How he is going
to square up remains to be seen. He
has committed felony and the 'squar-
ing up" of the matter, if attempted,
will be liable to get somebody else into
trouble. Mason is to have preliminary
hearing today.

THE BIG INDIAN
IS OPERATING

Meager news about the old Big Indian
mine, in the Mount Grant section, was
received by us this week. The property
is an old one which has bankrupted sew
eral persons and companies who have
tried to operate it in years gone by, and
we are not informed who owns the prop
erty at this time. Some two years ago,
or more new mill was put i'll the can
Won to work the ore from this property,
but it did not operate long. The mine
is way up on top of the mountain, at the
head of Cat Creek, and hard to get to-
Report now says the mine is under lease
and bond to some parties who have put
a tramway i'll to carry the ore from the
mine to the mill, and they are working
500 ore. A few years ago couple of
Mexicans secured lease on the mine
and cleared up from pocket they dis
covered, about 5000 during the sum-
mer season The old Injun is evidently
again OH the warpath.

Looking for Sugar Beets

Geo. W. Likes, who is interested in
the new sugar beet factory at Fallon,
was in town this week. He is inter
viewing the farmers of this section for
the purpose of inducing them to plant
and raise beets here next season for
shipment to the new factory. We un-
derstand he has secured contracts, or
agreements with several farmers here to
put in a certain acreage of beets next
spring. Beets are vegetable that the
eel worm does not molest, and while
there may not be quite as much money
in raising them as there is in raising po-
tatoes, both crop and market are sure.
