ceived here, from persons returning
from the mine, that the keane-W on
der property, mine and mill, has been
closed down for an indefinite period
and doubt is expressed whether 1t
will ever resume production. 1t IS
said that for some time past the Op-
erations of the company have failed
TO yield profit and that the develop
ment of the whipsaw property, a mile
from the old workings, has not been
successful
The property was closed down at
ter a final cleanup of the mill last
week. when a bar Of bullion, said to
be worth $4,000. was brought to the

RULES MADE
FOR Student IS

In accord with the usual custom
the sophomores and the upperclass-
men of the University have prepared
a series of rules for the Guidance of
the freshmen These rules appear
every year and cover practically the
same points but much toll is used in
devlslng new phraseology.
The edict of the sOphomores direct
ed to the class of 10 is entitled Six
teen systems to prove that water
seeks its own level and that a fresh
man is below the level Of water"
Rules concerning garb, conduct and
the mental duties prescribed for the
freshmen are picturesquely stated and
with each is plain threat of duck
ing as a penalty.
The rules made by the sophomores
were printed in gaudy colors on
large posters and during the night
several hundred of them were posted
throughout the city-U. of N Sage
brush.

PASS THROUGH

Carson has enjoyed this season the
largest number of tourists in its his
tory. There is not a day passes but
that several autos come to town. lin
ger a day and are on their way Hun
dreds have driven into this city.
Many teams have camped on the out
skirts and this travel has left many a
dollar in this community.
This fall when the travel is over
more attention should be paid to the
roads, a public camping ground with
water should be provided and the
stranger made welcome another sea-
son. Carson is in the line OF fight
and it could be made the headquar-
tiers for hundreds of tourists If they
were given better time and things

WILL ENFORCE
FOOD LAW
Inspectors Taking tests
of all EdibleS

Professor Dinsmore and ST Ross,
the pure food officials acting under
the Nevada pure food and full meas
ure law, are always on the job and
when not busy watching things in the
city Of Reno are out on the road see
ing that the people are getting what
they are paying for. They have had
number of arrests made in different
parts of the state, but few convic-
tons have been secured. They have
now given all dealers fair warning
and from now on intend to prosecute
vigorously all cases that come before
them.
Yesterday the two food experts
were busy in Reno checking up scales
and securing samples of food stuffs
being sold in this city They also are
watching the milk question closely
and are making it their business to
see that the dealers are selling pure,
wholesome milk. and are not giving
the people adulterated milk in lieu of
the real thing. They report finding
the law we'll observed in Reno, but
recently found it necessary to swear
out several complaints, although there
were no arrests or prosecutions Re-
no Gazette.

A Few improvements Tips
That Could be Utilized
A DEAD ONE

The Populist Party held its Ma
tional Convention at St. Louis Tues
day. A New York Herald dispatch
states that eight men, two women
and two children attended the affair.
And this is the last convention of a
party that twenty years ago polled
,O4l OPS votes and in the Electora,
College cast twenty-five votes for
James b. Weaver for President of
the United States. Populism is dead
but its soul goes marching on.

Mrs. J. A. Kennedy
Stops Over

Mrs James A. Kennedy. for many
years resident of this city, was
busy to-day renewing aequaintances.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Kennedy left this city, Mr. Kennedy
then being employed at the V. & T..
depot. They took up their home
near Oroville, CAL and started an
orchard. Shortly after leaving this
city Mr.. Kennedy died and the man
agement of the farm fell upon the
lady who has made pronounced sue
cess of the prune and almond busi-
ness. She has on several occasions
been selected to represent the county
at different fairs and shows and her
knowledge of orchard culture is rec
ognized Mrs. Kennedy is regarded
as one Of the real successful business
women of California and her opinion
is worth consideration
Sometime ago an offer was made
for her orchard ground for dredging.
The offer was declined. as she insists
that there is more gold in the fruits
and trees than in the soil beneath.
The many friends of Mrs Kennedy
will be pleased to learn of her sue
cess in life and hope that she may
make other visits to the old home in
this city

The exciting race over the long six
months course in The Washington Her
AIDS SCI. 900 contest is well under way.
The contestants are using all of their
energy in this mighty Marathon. Riv-
airy is keen on all sides. A purse or
a25, 900 is a magnificent one, and those
Who have entered the race are striving
hard to be among the victorious next
February. when the winners VIII re-
celve their Just reward.
Now that the race Is on and the con-
testants are speeding toward the distant
goal, the question arises of which will
win. That is a stupendous question. and
the answer cannot be forecasted at this
early stage Of the game. But certain
fundamental points can be laid down.
and the contestants who follow these
suggestions closely will be among the
victorious when the race is over and
the course is run.
Success will not come by chance or
by trickery. To succeed is a science.
The contestant who would be successful
must plan and work and make sacrifices.
No good thing comes without sacrifice.
Men who have succeeded have paid the
price. So is It in this great race. Those
who would win must pay the price. Is
the reward worthy OF the effort? Every
contestant has already answered this
question. 1t most certainly is.
The price which mus. be paid for sue
cess is industriousness, persistency. and
determination. They sound like small
things. but they are the great forces
which make all success In this world. The
contestant who really wants to win and
is willing to pay the price will have no
trouble in being among the victorious
First he must become enthusiastic over
the proposition. He must become ab-
sorbed in the competition. He must be-
come determined to win. and must back
up Sthe determination by honest effort.
He must plan extensively for the cam
paign. He must devise methods OF OBJ
tanning votes. He must become acquaint-
ed with the contest advertisers and their
advertisements. In other words. he must
be industrious. He must visit his friends
and people whom he would like to be his
friends. He must give them lists OF the
advertising merchants and manufectur-
ers and request that they patronize the
establishments and products and save the
votes for him. He must make all OF
his purchases at stores which give votes
in the contest. and must buy only those
manufactured products good for votes at
The Herald Office.
Then this contestant who would like to
succeed must be persistent. He must not
let his interest wane. His enthusiasm
must increase every day. He must talk
COH'eet " MS ieiduNeS ana MS lIieHos'
He must think Of votes before breakfast.
during the day. and after supper. He
must plug away persistently toward the
bright goal in the distance.
And the person who follows this for
mula will certainly be a winner. Here Il
the programme in brief:
Be determined, be industrious. be per-
sistent. become acquainted with the ad-
| vertisers and their advertisements: pat.
ronize these merchants and manufactur.
ers exclusively; distribute advertising lists
among your friends, with the reques,
that they patronize the merchants and
