others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated he begins to utter
series Of sounds. When be stops
these cries he makes another signal
with his paw, and the others cry out
until he makes third signal, upon
which they become sileLt again. This
author, Mr.. Maregrove, asserts that he
was witness to these preachings,

OF work he was very particular, pains
taking and thorough. He was most
anxious TO avoid any complications
that might arise from his work, aud
he was very proud OF the fact that
after being an attorney for building
association for more than fifty years
no loss to the association had ever
occurred by reason OF his work, and
because he was never called even to
account for any mistake on his part.
After his death the officers OF this

associated with him for many years,
met and passed formal resolutions testi-
flying to their high regard and good
opinion OF him, and to me this is one
of the finest tributes that could be paid
to any lawyer.

generous, thinking, caring, and doing

MINING IN RED
CANYON DISTRICT

w. H. Brainard, who mas been
operating in the Red Canyon Sec
tion of the Pinenut range of noun
tains, was in from that section this
week and brought with him some
fine samples of silver-galena ore
says the Ysrington Times. Mr..
Brainard is located on the north
fork of red canyon, about one mile
south of the old Emmerson prop
erty and a couple of miles from
the Winters mine. Red canyon is
about SIX miles west of the Simpson
Colony ranch, in Smith Valley.
He has been developing for the
past year strike that can be fol-
lowed on the surface for distance
of six miles in a northeasterly and
southeasterly direction. Tunnel
work has developed at depth of
about thirty feet a l4-inch ledge of
silver .galen that will average close
to $3.50 ton. The ore carries as
high as 90 per cent lead, from
three-quarters to an ounce and
half of gold, and balance silver.
This ledge lies between two walls
of white silver quartz, which also
carries some gold.
An assay from some grab
samples Mr.. Brainard BIO igat TO
Y9rington with him gave returns
as follews: gold, $l760; silver,
$19.56; lead, 1926 per ton, or a
total value of SAP.
The location of the property is
ideal one for wood and water as
the whole country is we'll timbered
and there are numerous large
springs. Mr.. Brainard believes
that with depth he will have a
large and valuable property. There
is a fins chance for other pros
pett ,rs to get into the district, as
there has been little work done
and no real thorough prospecting,
while there is an extensive field OF

TO RESUME
OPERATIONS

Captain Peter Curtz of Alpine Co,
who has been spending the winter
months in California, has returned
to this section and has left for his
dggings at Loope. Mr.. Curtz during
the past two years has carried on a
lot of development work in the old
Stella ground. A very large ledge
of copper-silver ore has been opened
up 1t is proposed to further devel-
op the property and also make a
raise to the surface from the tunnel
face in order to get better air con-
nections. This will take several
months.
Captain Curtz has been the main
stay of Alpine County in mining
way for many years and it is believ-
ed that he has big proposition in
the present holdings. Some excep-
tionally rich specimens have been
brought to this city from the prop
erty.
Alpine County has had some hard
set backs in mining way but with
modern machinery and smelters at
hand this part of the world will soon
come to the front. The trouble has
been. that most of the ore developed
has been of base nature and thus
prevented treatment on the ground
With two smelters building in this
section and a railroad half way to
the property there is every reason
to believe that Alpine will come in
for a share of the general mining
boom now on throughout Nevada
and the border line There seems
to be no question as to the quantity
and quality of ore in that section. All
that is needed is modern treatment
and cheaper haulage.

The postal department has

ranch in thatway.
Not another farming section in
this state offers the same oppor-
tunities as does Smith Valley.
Farm land there is comparatively
low in price. A railroad has with
in the past few months been built
to that Valley, affording trans
portation facilities and rail con-
nections with the outer world.
Steps are being taken to sub
divide at least 1000 acres of land
which means that within the next
few years the population of Smith
Valley will be greatly increased.
Those who buy land there now will
see their property steadily in
crease in value and the day will
no doubt come when property in
Smith Valley will attain just as
high price as is being asked to-
day for land in Carson Valley, and
that will be going some.

LIFE Is A QUEER
PROPOSITION

Man that is born of woman is of
few days and full of trouble. He
comes into this world without his
consent and leaves it against his
will. During his stay on earth his
time is spent in one continuous
round of pleasure or misunder-
standings. In his infancy he's an
angel; in his boyhood he's devil
in his manhood he's a saint or
sinner; if he attends 10 his duty
he's cranky; if he raises a family
he's a chump; if he raises check
he's thief,. and then the law
sends him over the road; if he's a
poor man he's bad manager and
has no sense; if he's rich he's dis
honest, but considered smart; if
he's a politician he's CRATER and
crook; If he's out OF politics you
can't place him, and he's an un-
desirable citizen; if he goes to
church he's hypocrite; if he stays
away he's a heathen; il he donates
to foreign missions he does it for
show; if he doesn't he's stingy and
tight wad. He never gives to
home missions.
When he first comes into the
world everybody wants to kiss
him; before he goes out, they all
want to kick him. If he dies
young here was a great future be-
fore him; if he lives to ripe old
age, then, of course, he's living
only to save funeral expenses and
keep his heirs from enjoying his
property.
Life's funny thing, isn't it?
