ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
FOR OLD ALPINE COUNNY
Although Nothing Booming
the Prospects are Excellent

Grant Merrill autoed down from
his home at Woodfords last evening
having had business which called him
to this city. In speaking of the con-
ditions in Alpine Mr.. Merrill said
that although there is nothing OF
great Importance going on still the
prospects for better times there are
very good. In a mining way there
is considerable prospecting and con-
siderable development work going on
Representatives Of the new smell
ter company in Mason Valley have
taken bond on the Hercules mine
at Loope and are now on the ground
taking samples of the ore and looking
into other matters and after their
Investigations if they think the prop
erty warrants they will assume con-
troll and do vast amount OF work,
This property shows good prospects
and has been worked to advantage but
seems to have been under a sort OF
unlucky spell as heretofore about the
time everything was ready for active
and profitable work something would
happen, such as power\dams wash
ing out etc.
The people Of Alpine are now III
hopes that the new company will take
hold Of the property and place it on
a working basis once more.

Strike Outlook.
is Threatening

Although there is practically moth

the strike situation, still it begins to
look as if the work of the strikers
among the trikebreakers was be
ginning 10 have some effect all along
the line OF trouble. The railroads
have declared t,4at the strike was
practically broken but from events
of the last couple of days 1t begins
to look as if they We're much mis-
taken.
Twelve strikebrcakers who had
been imported from Chicago ycoter-
day joined the strikers. hey de-
tnanded their pay from the company
out it was said this was refused as
hey had not lived up to taeir signed
contracts. / hey declare they will at
once institute sult lor the coilection
OF their wages This is the situation
at Sparks.
Some little trouble was experienced
at NSuSI, oidil, SCSlCludS SdISNu ~
one OF the strikers gaining admit
lance to the stochade III which the
iikebreakers are enclosed and dis
tributing union literature. What look
ed like a riot for a time was soon Set
tied and everything is again quiet.
Down in Mississippi, about the on
~ district where serious trouble has
occurred, there is a spirit OF un-
rest, and last night party Of strik
ers were fired on by the National
Guard. No one was injured.
At San Francico, Sacramento and
all along the coast all is qu.et and
both sides are claiming that they are
in line for victory. Instead Of the
strike being broken it is more than
likely that it has as yet hardly begun.

Much Work
State Office

One of the busiest offices in the
State building is the State Engineer.
Work has piled up good and deep
and ii is keeping the entire force on
the hustle to keep the decks cleaned.
1t became necessary to place a me
chanical draughtsman to work, and
Mr. Herman Hulle, who was former
ly employed at the office, was brought
down from Virginia City and placed
on the plan table, where he is busy
with all kinds OF work in this line.
This is one of the offices that is
about self-sustaining, as the applica-
tions for water rights and all such
work calls for fee which about runs
the office Since the establishment
of the State Engineers office a great
amount OF surveying, adjusting and
measureing of water has gone into
effect. while many dispute between
water owners and impending litiga
ton has been settled outside the
courts.
While there is a world of work left
that is to be performed in this Office
the efforts OF the good work can be
Judged by picking up nearly any state
exchange and note the publication
for either water rights or some such
state endorsement.

Hal Mighccls received Telegram
from Winncmucca last evening tell
ing him to come ut once as his
brother. Phillip Verrill Mighels., who
was recently shot while hunting quail
had taken change for the worse.
The telegram was brief and did not
state particulars but ii is presumed
that unlooked--ior complications have
set in and that the wounded man
is in serious condition. \ letter
was received from Winnemucca yes
terday morning stating that Phil was
getting along nicely and the word
received last night was a surprise
and caused great decal OF anxiety
among the relatives OF the sick man.
This morning Hal Mighels and
mother, Mrs. Davis. fearing the
to make train connections and reach
Winnemucca some time this alter
noon. Shortly after their departure
a telegram was received announcing
that Phil Mighels had died some time
during the night. They were inter
cepted at Franktown and apprised OF
the sad intelligence and proceeded to
Reno where they will await the re-
mains which will arrive there some
time tonight being brought to this
city where the funeral will in all
probability be held.
The entire circumstances surround
ing the fatal accilcnt and the death
OF Phillip Nerrill Mighels are sad in
the extreme. He had gone to the
eastern part Of the state to witness
a cattle roundup in order to become
perfectly familiar with the conditions
to better enable him to portray the
scenes in a novel which he was writ
ing depicting the scenes of western
life. While having a few moments OF

SHOTGUN MOUND
RESULTS FATALLY

ArteSian Well
is Progressing

The state drilling rig at the Ray
craft farm is making good headway.
1t was found necessary to abandon
the first we'll attempted as the casing
shifted. throwing the mole out OF
plumb. The new hole is down about
ninety feet.
During the progress of the well
water has been encountered in ev-
cry strata. The first surface water
was found at a depth of about II
feet. Since that a number of water
flows have been encountered and
while it has not reached the surface
yet shows a strong pressure and
plenty OF strata water. Some trou-
bic has been encountered in quick
sand, but since the men on the rig
have learned how to handle the ma
chine and take advantage OF the pow
er and machinery they are ovcrcom-
ing even the quick sand troubles. 1t
is believed that in the next fifty feet
the artesian water will be brought in
and this will give a well on the high
est point of the land. The casing in
the new we'll is ten-inch, which
should finish the best we'll drilled
in this county A number of prospec-
tive drillers are watching the efforts
of the Raycraft farm and hope to see
a spouter at that place within few
days.

The wrinkled parts at the edges of the skin can best be used for pockets of purses, backs of pen-wipers, lacings, etc. Before ap- plying the design to the leather it is best to test the quality by dampening a small piece and using the modelling tool upon it. If the leather is good the lines made upon it should remain. Designs may be successfully tooled on such ob- jects as purses, card cases, photograph frames, book-covers, mats, penwipers, cut away afterward.
