Initiating Precious Stones.

The makers of limitations gems
copy nature with remarkable success.
Mrcons are composed OF silica
and zirconia. Their luster is decep-
tive, a means having been dis
covered of extracting rne color. thus
leaving them diamonds to all APP
pearances, although their ~falseness
promptly proclaims itself under test.
Precious stones are frequently
dyed with such thoroughness that.
it is said, the stone may be broken
without discovery OF the process
that is, by the uninitiated.

agate may be enriched in color by
immersion in the dye pot. The stones
are placed in vessels containing the
coloring matter and are then sub
jected to great heat for periods vary

more. In the case of .chalcedony,

In the Maxwell "Mascottc' you have room for

motor for any cmcrgcncy-hills or heavy roads and
high-class style that you can be proud Of.
Maxwell reliability, too, is a part Of this car. No
other car has back Of it such a record. Maxwell
holds the highest team score in the last two Glidden
Tours; the worlds record ofl0, 600 miles cross-country

This was because the Maxwell "Mascottc' is
the first real hieh-sradc family touring car ever
offered the public for less than $1,000.
That it fits the niche we knew was waiting for If,
has been amply proven by the manner in which it
was received by the public at the shows.
AT all the shows the Maxwell "Mascottc' drew
enthusiastic approval. It was conceded wonderful
value. Such judgment by the motoring public
demands your consideration in your search for The
best car al The price.
No other car at such a price meets SO completely
the requirements of the family man-the man Of
moderate income.

PROGRESSIVE NOMINATIONS
LOCAL AND STATE
Make Queer Combinations and
Upset Many Party Programs

With the filling of full state
Progressive ticket, the voters OF
Nevada have Il careful study
ahead Of them. The program that
the old-iine Republicans suggest
ed of endorsing the Republican
ticket proved failure and there
is another sore spot in the Repub-
lican hide.
A few days past one Of the Taft
Representatives made overtures
to the Progressives to cut out any
third ticket and endorse the reg
ular ticket. For few days 1t
was believed that the program
would come to pass. Those who
attended the convention refused
to have anything to do with the
old party. and II full ticket OF
their own making is in the field.
a Taft follower accused one OF
the Progressivcs of endcavoring
to beat Taft at the primaries.
The Progressive answered that
the Taft advocate had made the
best guess of his life. He stated
that it was Il case Of Wilson or
Roosevelt in this state and that
Teddy had better than a fighting
chance
Several counties in the state
are conceded to be either Wilson
or Roosevelt sections. In a num-
ber of sections Taft is absolutely
forgotten and it is a plain and

No AL|M0NY
FOR HUSBAND

Some time ago Attorney James
Finch brough a divorce suit for
Elizabeth Barringer against her
husband Jacob on the grounds OF
desertion and failure TO provide.
Attorney Chartz. on the other
hand when the case was tried be-
fore Judge Langan, set up that
the husband did not desert, that
he was always willing to provide
as far as possible and that AS he
was in need asked that he be pro-
vided with alimonv, court costs
and attorney fees. 1t was the
first case of this kind where the
husband asked for alimony in
Nevada.
Attorney Finch then asked the
Court to grant the divorce with
out any of the costs being assess
ed against the woman. The two
lawyers filed briefs on this que.
ton as to the husband gaining
alimony in divorce proceedings.
At a session of the court to-
day Judge angan decided that
under the statute of Nevada that
it was impossible to provide ali
mony to a husband in a divorce
proceeding and therefore decided
in favor of the contention of At
torncv Finch. and the woman
gets the divorce and the man is
refused costs and alimonv. 1t is
the first time this issue has been
brought up in this state.

To ENTERTAIN
THE PEOPLE

Alb Ambrose of Empire, and h,s
musical family are preparing for
an outing that is a novelty. The
musical family have perfected
plans to a point where they haN I
a full band. an orchestra and in
dlvldual stunts on Instruments
made from old tin cans and pans.
They play on one hundred and
seven different kinds of instru-
ments. A tin orchestra is among
the features. 1t makes music,
and good music at that. Other
features just as pleasing and
more so are on the program.
In order to have an outing and
entertain the public the family
will shortly leave on a musical
tour of this section of Nevada.
The valleys and the resorts will
be visited and music and dancing
will follow wherever the family
heads in. Alb will give his pat

PROCRESS|VES
MEET TONIGHT

The ProgreSsiveS Of this cOun-
tv will meet tonight at the court
house. This arrangement was
made al the previous meeting and
the program will probably be car
rled out. Just what the results
will be is Of considerable interest
to the voters of this section. 1t
is conceded that the Progressives
will have heavy vote in this
county and their action will even
tually probably decide the fate
of a number of county candidates.
Now that the state convention
has been held. the committees ap-
pointed and the local candidates
felt out, there will probably re
suit a partial if not full county
ticket for the fall election The
former meeting was postponed
pending the state and national ac-
ton That is all settled and to
the satisfaction of the Progress
Sives. There will be enough peo-
pie present tonight from all ap-
pearnces to make plenty OF dis

conceded fact that the fight is
now between the regular Demo
cratic nominee and the Bull
Moose candidate. 1t is not a
Taft state in any section.
Locally the advent of the Pro
gressiveS is mixer that has all
guessing. This county is not
alone. Two hundred Progressive
votes are to be reconed with this
fall. While they are mainly from
the Republican ranks, yet the Isl
shows number Of Democrats.
They can swing the election.
With the Republican party split
wide open nationally. and locally
in IA bad muddle. many surprises
are in store at the election.
In the majority of counties
there was a lack of material for
the district and county offices. 1t
all came about by the Progress
Sive movement. Had it been
along the old line of straight tick
cts there would have been an old
fashioned fight on hand and the
candidates could carry out their
figures.
From all appearances the same
shattered condition exists else
where and Nevada is but one
state thai is figuring on returns.
The Democratic State ticket Is
practically conceded, but the To-
cal fights are anything but staple.

WHO Gets
THE CHILD?

This afternoon before Judge
Langan the hearing OF the guar
dianship matter Of the infant
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Tiederman
is being heard. During the month
of March Mrs. Gertrude Tleder-
man, maid and child arrived in
this city They established a

der giving him the custody of the
child.
Attorney Platt., for Tiederman.
sometime ago served out Il habeaS
corpus writ. asking the court to
turn the child over to the father.
This is being fought by Mrs. Tied
erman s attorneys on the grounds
that an order of court from an
other state does not hold good in
this state and that it is without
jurisdiction.
The matter is being pretty
thoroughly aired in court to-day
and many technical points rela-
tive to foreign court orders in re
late to the home state law. are be
ing raised. Judge Langan has a
very delicate question on hand,
as the mother is in court with a
three-vear old child and the faith

Investments
IN MINING

The big money is looking for
legitimate mining. not mere pros
pecting, but mining. and Nevada
has her share OF this profitable
trade. With the Ely copper
mines on a heavy dividend list,
and others coming in. the inter
est in big mining has naturally
followed the channel of conserva-
tive investment. The latest mine
i'm Ely to come into self-sustain-
ing basis is the GirouX.
Between the dividend-paying
zine mines. the gold and silver
properties that are sending to the
investors and the big copper re-
turns, naturally turn the invest
ors Nevada s way. The problem
is simply to have the goods and
the money is at hand. They are
looking for the mines.
