GRANoLITHIC WALK AND ~N
 PIPE IRON FENCE.
Improvements Expected on Broadway
 Side of Town Building.

Levels have recently been taken on Broadway at the sidewalk from the north end of the town hall building to the Bradford property, as a new granolithic walk is to be laid there in place of the f1agstone walk City Surveyor Pitcher took the levels in preparation of the work. The expense is borne in thirds by the city, town and county.
 It is probable also that a pipe iron fence will be placed along the north wall on the Bradford line, instead of the arrangement of old boards which now serves for a fence.

HUNTING LAND
FOR INDIANS

Two land agents for the govern
ment was in this section few days
ago, investigating conditions as they
exist with the Washoe Indians.
There is movement on foot, so it
is understood, to call in the wood
land allotted to the Washoes and then
supply them with agricultural land
which they can farm and thus give
them way of existence. The
timber land now owned by the In
dians is absolutely worthless as a
source of revenue to them. No
doubt this land was originally allotted
to them with the belief that their
diet consisted chiefly of pinenuts
and this would be the best substitute
for agricultural lands. just where
the government intends to secure
land for the Washoe Indians is not
known, but the fact that steps are
being taken in that direction is
indicative that a long neglected
cause has at last attracted the at
tention of government officials.

REPORTED
new FIND

Word was brought down from
the Ruby Hill mine this week that
one of the big prospecting drills be-
ing operated there by the Gum
Thompson company had struck a
splendid body of quartz ore at a
depth Of about 200 feet. The com
pany, it is said, is considering sink
ing shaft on this find, which is
some little distance from the cop
per property.
Both drills have been hammering
away ever since they were set up,
several weeks ago, and very salts
factory results are being obtained,
arcnrdi lg toreports that have reach

Two carloads of coal are ex Jected
to arrive any day and it will be
hauled to the mine to fire the drill

The first basketball game of the

team will take place at Valhalla
hall this evening when the Carson
High school team will try conclus-
ions with the Douglas boys. The
horne team, with one exception,
is made up of new players and while
1t IL not claimed that they can equal
the splendid team of last year, they
are showing lots of speed and good
team work. In their game with the
town team two weeks ago they
played a strong game and surprised
their opponents by winning the
game by wide margin.
The Carson team is composed of
some good players and tonight's
game promises to be hard fought
battle.
The high school earnestly urges
all to attend.

BIG SHIPMENT
OF LAMBS

One of the biggest shipments of
lambs ever to be shipped from this
section, left Minden yesterday. The
shipment consisted of 36 carloads
and were consigned to Chicago, the
Dangberg Land and Livestock COM
pany being the shippers.
The train was in two sections and
took all of the available locomotives
to handle the heavy shipment. The
Dangberg company made heavy
shipments of lambs to Chicago last
fall and found they can secure far
greater profits in that market than
by disposing of their sheep on the
coast. Yesterdays shipment was
made up of over 1000 choice lambs.
Ben Cardinal, Ed Settelmeyer and
Fred Floater were in charge of the
shipment.

The credit Of organizing the Al
pine Land and Reservoir company,
now owned by the East Fork farm
ers, belongs to VIM. Thornberg
