After the Gun-Carriers

The Grand Jury of White Pine county
has Just finished a session. In the
recommendation found and filed the
members of the jury insist that the law
regulating the carrying of concealed
weapons be enforced in that county.
This is a good law but is practically a
dead-letter, There are people i'll nearly
all communities going around with big
"gat" in their pocket. 1t is evident
that there is a yellow streak i'll their
makeup, or bad intentions i'll their
minds. The law should be strictly en-
forced.
Could this law be kept i'll strict work
ing order it would prevent many muir
der. Without pistols the oldfashioned
fist fight would settle many difficulty
that ends in either hanging or the prison
and disgraced life for one of the
parties. 1t is hoped that White Pine
and all other constabulary will be able to
carry out the suggestion offered by the

Activity at Bodie

There are, and have been, for some
time past rumors of valuable strike in
one of the old properties at Bodie. No
body seems to know much about the re-
port, but that some people believe that
there is merit in it and that there is
going to be something doing soon, is
evidenced by several pieces of property
changing hands at good figures recently.
The L. S. Hotel property changed
hands recently, being purchased by A.
Maeslretti Vic Bernard sold his barber
Alpin saloon has been purchased by Vim.
Armstrong. These purchasers must
have faith in the future of the camp,
otherwise they would not invest.

Hogs Dying

We are informed that during the past
couple of months many hogs in this val
ley have died of some disease, one ranch
having lost as high as $50 porkers dur
ing the summer, and others from 70 to
100 head. What the disease is, appar-
emily has not been learned, and If any
means of combating the disease have
been taken, it is not known. 1t would
seem that so great loss would call for
an investigation by some authority on
hog ailments. Certainly the carcasseS
OF the dead animals should be burned so
that they will not be eaten by other hogs
and the disease spread any more than
possible.

An Indian Visitor

George Wolf Leather. a prominent
Cheveune Sioux Indian, was here from
Oklahoma this week on visit to Jack
Wilson, the Piute prophet of this sec
ton The visit was for the purpose OF
renewing acquaintance, as Wolf Leather
was here once before, some years ago
His nilsson was to assure the Piutes OF
the friendship of the Cheynnes, enquire
after their welfare, etc After his visit
with prophet Wilson Wolf smoked the
pipe of peace, or piece of pipe, with
Bill Powers to show that his people have
no animosity towards the other tribes III

USE OF FUMES To
SAVE MILLIONS

A press dispatch says that after work
ing quietly for four months with a few
assistants, Professor Stewart w. Young,
of the Stanford Chemistry department,
has discovered chemical method where
bv millions of dollars will be saved an
nually to the State of California i'll veg
citation and livestock, a valuable by
product will be created out OF the poi
sonous fumes of ore smelters and an in
dustry saved which has hitherto brought
only destruction to the surrounding
country.
Professor Young calls his method the
thiogen process.
It's purpose is to remove the poison
ous sulphur dioxide gases from the
smoke of smelling furnaces, particularly
roasters, lie says. In some cases it
becomes impossible TO carry on the two
industries of smelling and agriculture in
the same district, and number of i'm
portant smelters, particularly that of the
Guggenheim interests near Oroville,
have been enioined by court orders
issued on complaint of farmers.
-Four months ago, Professor Young
says, he became interested i'll the prob
lem. due to the closing of the Oroville
smelter. OF the three deleterious sub
stances contained i'll the smelter fumes
arsenic compounds, sulphur dioxide, the
last has until now never yielded to
chemical treatment. In form it is
true gas, differing from the others,
which are found as solid substances
Professor Young is now working on the
engineering problem connected with
treating this huge volume of gas chem
ically without stopping up the flues of
the smeter stacks and expects to an
nounce complete success i'll a few weeks.
Describing his process, Prof. Young
stated:
The reduction of the sulphur dioxide
to free sulphur or birthstone, is extreme
ly simple. 1t may be accomplished by
means of hvdracarbon, such as crude
petroleum. There is no cheaper reduc-
ing agent The gas could be converted
into sulphuric acid, but for this there is
limited market The possibility of
converting the sulphur dioxide into free
sulphur seems to have received little
attention. Sulphur supplies for many
years to come would be established, and
the present serious check to the smelling
industry would be overcome"

Federal Grand Jury Through

The Federal Grand Jury at Carson
filed its report Wednesday of this week
and was discharged. 1t was one of the
hardest working grand juries that has
set for years and transacted a large
amount of business. Seventy cases were
presented for consideration and sixty
eight true bills were returned, two cases
only being ignored Sixty-six of the
cases were complaints for furnishing
liquor to Indians and will result in a
larger number going to McNeill's Island
for the crime than ever before i'll the
history of the State.

Power for Sunrise

Dwight Leavitt, of the Truckee River
General Electric Co., is now engaged in
surveying a branch power line for the
company to the Baltimore Mining COS.
property in Sunrise District. The line
will be taken off of the power company S
main power line and strung about seven
miles to the Baltimore ground. The
fact that this branch is being put in at
the expense of the Baltimore Co., to
develop ats property, goes to show what
faith these people have in their ground.

Here are the figures:

On the average the farmer gets y
cents out of each dollars worth of his
products. The express companies, the
railroads and cold storage concerns,
thanks to the failure of the successive
Republican administrations to protect
the consumer, draw down golden har
vest in excessive charges.

Meeting Monday evening that thou h
he work had been delayed by rains,
80 water meters had already been
placed and that under favorable con-
litions, they could put in twenty day.
Though somewhat unsightly, the tiles
would be necessary, said Superinten-
dent Light, to prevent the water from
freezing in the winter and the method
had proved successful in Pittsburg
and Joplin. The wishes of the prop
erty owners in regard to the position
that they wished them placed on thei
premises. DR.. Light advised further
that the water meter reader should be
other than the gas meter reader as the
former would frequently have ad'
ditional work in bailing water from
the tiles.
That the city has outgrown the
capacity Of the electric light plant
was brought out in the discussion at
the council meeting Monday evening
superintendent Havenhill further ex-
plained that the delays incident to
extending the service as was being
