the sewage flows into the tank. The
pump will force this sewage through
pipe line into septic tank which
will be constructed near the outskirts
OF the city. The. pipe for the sewer
will be vitriiied tiling and the joints
will all be made of special cement
to keep the surface water out of the
sewer. as the most of the line will b..
laid below water This is the thing
that makes the job expensive The
company which is to do the work has
placed many of these systems in op
eration in different parts of the count
ry and they are reported to be giving
perfect satisfaction wherever installed.
The Yerington system will be large
enough to accommodate the city until
it reaches a population of four or five
thousand people, and the system is SO
laid out that it may be added to at any
time so far as mains are coecnrned,
and the efficiency OF the plant can be
doubled by simply placing another
motor in the reservoir and adding an
other unit to the septic tank.
With its water and sewer system
Yerington will soon become one OF
the cleanest, prettiest and most SAM
tary little places in the State. 1t is
some trouble and work to get these
things lined up for city and in
stalled, and there is always more or
less fault found with the persons who
are on the job; there is grumbling
about the taxes and other expenses.
but after the grumblers have had the
conveniencies of water and sewer for
short time they would not be with
out them for twice what the systems
will cost to install and maintain The
Council is deserving of commentator
ut least for the improvements it has
made in the condition of the city in
the past two years and the members
ought to have their salary raised to at
least 81 per annum.

SHELTER AFTER COPPER.
Low Rate of Transportation Given to
Thompson Smelter.

T.. +. Price. a representative of the
copper smelter at Thompson, owned
by the Mason Valley Mining Com
pany, was an arrival in Winnemucca
this week. says the Star, and will
spend a few days in this vicinity. Mr.
Prices mission here is to buy copper
ore for his smeltcr He put in the day
seeing mining men and inquiring into
the production OF copper ore in Hum
boldt county. He learned that there
are numerous copper prospects in the
Harmony and Sonora ranges east OF
Winnemucca and that some ore is be
ing shipped, the latest shipment lrav-
ing been made about ten days ago by
Messrs. Deiss and Seigmund, who
sent a carload to Salt Lake City. He
learned that c. A. VanZandt is tax
ing out copper ore regularly IN his
mine in the Paradice Valley. that Red
Butte is a good copper section. and
that as soon as the Winnemucca
Northern railroad is built to the Ore
gon line large area OF copper ter
ritory will be opened up which is now
living undeveloped for lack OF cheap
transportation.
The railroad rate from Whine
mucca to the Mason Valley smelter
is Sl.o0 per ton on all copper ore of
the value of $50 or less per ton. With
copper a fraction over IL cents il will
I've readily seen the possibilities OF
shipping from many mines i'll this
county. The low transportation rate
makes it possible to ship a very low
grade of ore.
The Mason Valley smelter is run
ming at present one unit, having n
capacity of 700 tons daily. Plans are
under way for doubling this capacity
by adding another unit. which II Is
expected will be done within the next
few months.
Mr.. Price also went out on Win
nemucca Mountain to see the great
Shivcly mine and some other proper
ties on the mountain, not that his
Smclter wants ore of that character
but he wants to see the wonderful
riches which are being talked of all
over the State of Nevada.

NEVADA DOUGLAS IS
IMPROVING DAILY

The Nevada Douglas, on Douglas
Hill, is opening up wonderfully
high grade body of cuprite and chat
cocitc ore The workings in the body
are now some forty feet in length by
twenty feet in width, with ore OF the
same quality in all directions. The
Douglas Hill portion of the estate is
proving to be a much larger and richer
proposition than the examining engi-
neers have in the past stated It to be.
1t is producing $50 tons OF ore day,
and in order to increase this produc-
ton larger tram cars are being IN
stalled, each car having a capacity OF
two tons A larger hosting engine
will soon be installed at the upper
terminal of the tramway to further
facilitate the production from this
portion OF the mine.
The Sunlight tunnel is being pushed
ahead rapidly. and inside OF thirty
days should be adding its quota to the
production.
The Casting Copper shaft is going
down to the 250-foot level as rapidly
as men and machines can sink it.
The Ludwig portion of the compa
ny's holdings is showing develop
ment that is almost beyond belief.
On the seventh level. the deepest
workings. the ore body is simply inn
mense, both in size and value. The
ore is chalcocite, and when one IS
in the portion of the mine from which
it is being taken he can well imagine
himself in a coal mine. The body of
ore is opened to date for forty feet
in length and twenty-five feet in width.
The raise to the sixth level is being
crowded in order to make a connec
tion for air Every foot of the raise
so far run is in ore that will run p
per cent in the red metal.
All sections of the big estate are
looking far better than the owners
ever anticipated they would. and some
of these days it will be equally as fa-
mousmous throughout the world as
the celebrated Calumet & Hecla. OF
Michigan.
The gypsum deposit is yielding $50
tons day of sized product, which
goes to Reno. An electric hoist is to
be installed here so that the output
can be increased to 800 tons per day
Surface improvements. in the nain.
are nearing completion The big
framing shed is rapidly assuming a
finished appearance and every depart
ment about the property has very
busy appearance.
The tonnage shipped from the prop
erty for the past seven days has av-
eraged 1853 tons per day.

A FOOLISH WOMAN.
Wants to Have McCarty Released
and Marry Him.

The Carson News says that one
day this week Judge Langan wis
waited upon by two women. who in
the public Office of the County Clerk.
asked the Judge to use his good in
fluences to get threetime loser out
vi the penitentiary so that the
younger of the two women could lead
him to the altar and take him to her
bosom as a husband These two wo-
men have travelled across the cont
nent from Washington. ID. c., lured

vict that he is the owner of vast
amount of roperty somewhere in the
world and that he is innocently con
fined in prison This convict is known
to the police of several States and is
known as one who is willing to at
tempt almost any crime. The de
luded women believe in him and have
been here for several weeks attempt
ing to secure clemency for the man.
The man is McCarty who was sent
up from Lyon county for forgery.
Judge Langan gave the women a
lecture and some good advice and
refused to aid in any way to have the
prisoner paroled. He advised them to
go home and forget the episode as 4
bad dream. but they are still in Car
son and may make their residence
there until McCarty serves his time,
The peculiar feature of the case is
that the women are mother and
daughter. the latter being the one
who wants to marry and the mother
sanctioninp the move. They ought
to be placed in an insane asylum.

NEW CREAMERY FOR VALLEY.
Equipment on the Ground for Luhrs'
New Creamery.

The Luhrs boys, who purchased the
Reymers' ranch in this valley the first
of the year. now have all the machin
cry and equipment on the ground for
a hrstclass butter factory, and will
have the establishment in running or
der in a week or two. They first pur
chased the plant owned by Mr. Lucy
and moved it to the ranch This plant
contained an ice plant and steriliz
ing outfit and they kept the business
established by Mr.. Lucy of shipping
milk and cream to Tonopah and Gold
field. There has been a call for more
good butter from this section and the
boys made up their minds to put in
a butter plant. They have purchased
a large new churn, a ripener, molds,
etc, in fact. complete plant. The
buildings erected have concrete floors
and all the sanitary conditions that
can be thought of. The plant will be
run by steam for some time, but
eventually the boys will change to
electricity for motive power.
At the present time they are milk
ing about 100 cows themselves. Their
plant will turn out 5000 pounds of
butter day The average dairy COW
will give about 40 pounds of milk a
day. and they will need the cream
from about 500 cows more cows to
keep the factory going to capacity
that will pay good profit They are
Offering the biggest market price for
cream of standard test and will take
all they can get.
The boys have also engaged c. +.
Merrick. OF Carson Valley. to start
the business off, and he and his wife
are now here. Mr.. Merrick is prob
ably the best butter-maker on the
coast. He has put II creameres in
operation in Nevada and has received
many prizes at fairs and expositions
for his make of butter. That the new
Mason Valley Creamery will be sue
cess under such able management
goes without saying.

Empire Nevada Regular Shipper.

The Smith brothers, who have
lease on the old Empire Nevada cop
per property across the river from
Yerington are making good, and so
is the property The boys have six
teen men now employed on the
ground and so far have shipped to the
smelter at Thompson about twenty
cars of ore This ore runs from
to 10 per cent in the red metal and
is. therefore. making the leasers some
money. Two cars a week are now
being loaded with teams and as soon
as possible the boys are going to ship
a car a day. The big shaft on the
property is being used and the old
drill engine has been put into use
for hoisting purposes The shaft is
about 100 feet deep but the ore is
coming from drift on the l0O-foot
level. AS soon they can arrange to
do so the Smiths expect to equip the
property with an electric hoist, when
they will be able to make more rapid
progress This is one of the prop
critics in the district that is making
the ore extracted pay for the devel-
opment work. as well as pay good
wages to score or so of men. There
are several other properties in the
camp doing the same thing and there
will be more in the same class soon.

PRESIDENT OF HAITI KILLED.

Several Others Lose Their Lives
When National Palace is Blown
Up.
Port Au Prince, Haiti, Aug. S.-The
National Palace was blown up by a
powder explosion and burned to the
ground to-day and the President of
the Republic of Haiti, General Cincin-
natus Leconte, persisted. Members
of his family, who were awakened by
the terrific shock, found themselves
almost surrounded by flames, but
managed to make their way to safety
The first explosion was followed by
others when the fire reached the
cellars of the palace where great
quantity of ammunition was stored
So great was the force of the explos-
ion that number of small cannon,
fragments of iron and shells were
blown for great distances in all direc-
lions. Many palace attendants were
killed, and it is estimated that the
casualty list will reach four hundred
persons killed or injured.
Panic Prevails.
For time a great panic prevailed,
and the military authorities took
charge of the situation. The explo-
sions occurred shortly after 5 o'clock
in the morning and within an hour,
when the fire, which was confined to
the palace, was extinguished, the
structure was a mass of ruins from
which it will be impossible to recover
the body of the President.
The cause of the explosion of the
powder magazine has not been ascer-
tanned.
At joint meeting of the Chamber
and Senate this afternoon, General
Tancrede Auguste, Senator and ex-
Minister of Public Works, was named
