 Stratford, Feb. 22-George B. Me Clellan. Western man who dfsclaims all relationship to the famous general of the Civil War Of the same name, was in town for two days this week Today he left for his ranch near Tucson, Arizona. Mr. Mcclellan was in town last summer and formed some very decided opinions concerning the opportunities for agriculture in this section. He said:
 'T am going to Arizona where I nave bought 200 acres of Irrigated land which has just been opened. T. Ike the West I like the climate of Arf- zona. I like the people there. I think the opportunities are very great there. But stir, I believe that if I should take a notion I could do bet ter, that is make more money out of the soil right here in Stratford than I can in Arizona. Of course, we can get big crops there, but our markets enjoy any lasting prosperity we can not crop our ground to death even if 1t is rich. Last summer when I was in Stratford the farmers were all them they were the most foolish peo- pie had ever seen with mi mf-lions of gallons of water flowing by their doors every minute. Why, the water that 200 miles in ditches, How much would it cost to pump the water from the Bousatonic river onto the land? So little that the increase of crops would double the profits. Then of course, your soi' is worn out, but with the modern methods of green fertiliz- ing and the immense amount of man. ure which is procurable from the densely populated district leaves no excuse for poor land. The trouble with New England is not poor soil Tut the lack of energy and ability to meet the prob ems of the section which are c-a IT n rnT1 rjeOr7 Ix-jfh xxyha are up against in the West that they are not worth mentioning"

Runaway Team Hits
Pole and Kills Horse

O. II. Some and Sam Elbert started
to drive from Yerington to the McCon-
nell mine last Monday and met with
quite a serious accident They stopped
i'll front of McDonough' s store to secure
some supplies and when ready to start
again the driver dropped one of the
lines. In leaning over the dashboard to
pick up the line the driver frightened
the team and the horses started off like
shot out of a gun. Just south OF
Bridge street the frightened animals
swerved to the side of the road and ran
into one of the big electric light poles on
the side of Main street, one of the horses
striking the poll with terrific force with
his head. Both horses went to the
ground. and one of them never got up.
Some and Ebert jumped from the rig
before the collision came and escaped Sc
rious injury, although they were some
what bruised and scratched up. The
horse which struck the poll was taken
over to Daniels corral, where it died
the next day. The rig was considerably
damaged in the mixup. The horses
were both pedigreed animals and were
the property of A. A. Marsal, who rails
ed them and who is the loser by several
hundred dollars by the death of one of
them.

Fine Specimen of Native
Copper on Exhibition

One of the handsomest specimens of
native copper ore, and probably the
largest of its kind ever taken out of
western copper mine, is attracting
great deal of attention on its little ped
estal in the center of the spacious rotun-
da of the National Copper Bank III Salt
Lake City, says the Herald, of that
place. The specimen is from the recent
strike of this character of ore in the
Ludwig portion of the Nevada Douglas
estate i'll the Yerington district. The
specimen. although almost pure copper.
weighs 240 pounds. Its polished nobule
surfaces, with an intricate joining of the
red lobes by beautiful crystals, some of
great size and beauty. show with remark
able perspicuity the wonderful working
out of the affinity law in ore deposition.
This beautiful specimen came from the
900 foot level, 1t was discovered in the
great ore channel which has been pros
pected 700 feet along its strike, showing
an average width of per cent sulphide
copper ore.

YER|NCTON GIRLS
PLAY GOOD GAME
Come Within One of Being
Champion High School
Team in State

The Yerington High School basket
ball team which went to Reno last Sat
urday to enter the State tournament for
the championship, gave All excellent ac-
count of themselves and came very near
coming home with the bacon.
The team was composed of the follow
ing named Yerington girls: Virgie Car
roll, Lucille Gallagher, Frances Holland,
Adele Naillencour Laurene Erway and
Salome Riley, with Hazel Ambrose and
Edna Dillon as substitutes. The girls
were accompanied by Principal Bartlett
and wife and Miss Bowes.
The first game of the tournament was
between the Elko team and and the Uni
versity High School team and was won
by Reno easily, the score being Is to 5.
Yerington then proceeded to trim up
the Carson team by the same score-1S
to Said this put them i'll the final
game with the Reno girls.
This game took place at O'Clock i'll
the evening and was worth witnessing
1t was fast game from the start with
few errors, and the final score
stood l9 to II in favor of Reno. Much
credit is due Miss Phyllis Davis the Cap
tain of the Reno team, for the victory
The Yerin gton girls made many brilliant
plays and are given credit for being
"stayers' by all who witnessed the
game, and had the time been little
longer they would have undoubtedly
brought home the championship pen
nant. This was the third match game
they had ever played and their first de
defeat.
Yerington is proud of her girls. They
are a bunch of loveliness that it is hard
to beat at any old game, and if the Reno
girls come out here for return game
this fact will be amply demonstrated.

under snow and debris from which they
were not recovered for some months
