CHRISTIE, ONCE
RENO'S CITY CLERK,
GETS SIX YEARS
JUDGE ORR SENTENCES FORMER
RENO CITY CLERK TO
SIX YEARS.

Herbert r. Christie, former city
clerk of the city of Reno, was SEN
fenced Saturday morning by Judge
Orr of the district court to serve
six years in the Nevada state prison
as the penalty imposed for en-
bezzling city funds, a charge to
which he pleaded guilty some time
age.
At 125 p. m. deputy from the
sheriff's Office took Christie on the
V. & 7. train to Carson, where he
was turned over to the custody of
Warden Baker His sentence will
begin to run Monday morning.
A large crowd was present at the
morning session, waiting to learn
how many years of servitude would
be melted out to the former official.
A. +. Cunningham, Christie's dep
uty. had been sentenced few days
ago by Judge Quicker to serve
nine years in the state peni-
Tertiary Cunningham had re
fused to plead guilty and after a
trial occupying nearly two weeks
had been found guilty by a jury.
The crowd felt that the sentence OF
Christie would be somewhat lighter
on account of the fact that he had
admitted guilt, but the speculation
was as to how many years would
be given.
Before imposing sentence Judge
Orr heard an appeal for mercy
made on behalf of the accused by
his counsel, P. A. McCarran. Mr.
McCarran took the position thai

STATE OF NEVADA'S
STUPENDOUS RECORD

In the year 1909 Nevada ranked
sixth in the production of gold,
silver, copper, and lead. In 1910
her dividends amounted to more
than all the mines of the state of
Montana, Arizona, Idaho and Alaska
combined; more than those of the
mines of Michigan, Utah, and almost
as much as all the mines of Michi-
gan, Utah, Colorado and South
Dakota, in which latter state is To-
Gated the world famous Homestake
property. Three years ago our out
put was smaller than of any of the
states named and today Nevada is
producing one-third of all the divi-
dends now being paid by all the
companies producing gold and sill
yer, the lead and copper in the
United States. If she has gained
that much in the last three years,
what will be her standing in the
next few, with better railroad, mill
ing and smelling facilities? The
Goldfield Consolidated Mines alone
pail in dividends the first eight
months of the year over $5,000,000
This same property has contributed
40 per cent of the total profits paid
by the So gold, silver and lead divi
dend-paying mines in the United

UNCLE JOEs CHECK.

Colonel Henry Casson, sergeant
alarms of the house of representa-
tive, says Human Life, has the
original check given by Speaker Jo-
seph G Cannon few years ago
to book agent, and about which
an interesting story has been told
An agent visited the speaker
AMI interested him in an elaborate
edition of something which IN &c
Joe didn't want, but bought. When
the books arrived Uncle Joe exam
ined them and decided at once that
something had been put over OF
him, When the agent came for
his money the speaker determined
to make him indorse a terse SEN
timent on books, so he wrote out
a check for $79, the amount due,
and on the back of it he inscribed
PAY the order Of Mr. Blank, in
full payment for an edition whic !
was not worth a d, and dear at
the price, but for the ease and
grace with which he put it over
your Uncle Joe it was well worth
the money"

The excellent class of construction

of comment; where the work is not

morrow, but for generations of pro-
ductive mining is the foundation be-

 The ticket was not without a sur- prise or two. Chief of these was the settlement upon B. F. Cooney, as can didate for collector. Repeatedly he had declined the proffers of various positions but eventually pressure was brought to bear upon him, much to the disappointment of the adherents of former Public Works Director c. F. A. Bfltz who expected he would hold down that place on the ticket.
 Mitchell's candidacy was predicted early yesterday. E The others whose names figure in the ticket have been frequently mentioned as likely candi- dates.

 London, Oct. 24-Italy is torn by anxiety over the fate of the landing expedition sent to Benghazi, on the Tripolitan coast, according to mes sages from the French and Swiss sides of the Italian frontier today.
