GOV. ODDIE GUARANTEES
CALIFORNIA DISEASED CATTLE

Declaring that shipments of cattle
from California districts where con-
tagious diseases are prevalent among
live stock into the State OF Nevada
was a menace to the cattle industry
of this state, Governor eddie has is
sued a proclamation placing a
quarantine upon cattle received from
the infected districts.
The proclamation prohibits the
shipment or importation into this
state of cattle from that portion of
California lying south of the Mount
Diablo base line. which Is declared TO
be an infected district. the cattle suf-
fering from Texas splenic. or tick
fever. tuberculosis. blaekleg and
anthrax.
The action OF the governor was
taken after a petition bearing the
signatures Of Nevada stockmen had
come TO his attention. The quaran-
tine does not apply to any cattle be-
ing transported through and be-
yond the limits of this state by
any railroad company by permit or
authority granted by an agent or in
spector in the employ of the United
States government.

FEBRUARY WAS DRY.

1t is fortunate for the in
dustrial interests of the state. hat
the precipitation of March and April
was not of the low record es-
tablished in February. The gov
eminent Chronological service re-
port for February, covering District
No. 10, the Great Basin, says
The precipitation for the district
averaged go inch. which is 0.S4
inch below the normal. The great
est amount fell in the Utah. Idaho,
and Wyoming areas. and the least in
the Nevada and California areas.
In the Nevada area the precipita-
ton averaged nearly l inch below
normal and the section director of
that state writes:
This is the second driest Feb
ruary on record. the only lower re-
cord being 0.20 inch in 1896. There
were - STATIONS dl which uO ncdSui-
able precipitation fell, and some of
these are located in regions where
February moisture is usually heavy.
The only places where the amount
was reported to be normal are in
Elko county. and as these stations
have recently been established they
have no normals. The monthly
amounts are very small at stations
outside of Elko county. but the
greatest negative departures are in
the extreme western portion includ-
ing the Lake Tahoe district, where
practically no snow was added to the
amount in storage. The season to
date is one of the driest of record
THE greatest monthly amount was
2.40 inches at Milford. Utah. In the
California and Nevada areas, where
the minus departures YER excep-
tionally large, very small monthly
amounts were reported, and eight
stations there reported no rainfall
whatever"

TO PREVENT WILD
eating At HIGHGRADE.

Highgrade. the alleged new gold
camp of California, has run foul of
a state institution that promises to
compel those operating within the
district to confne their efforts pure
ly to legitimate channels. w. II.
Storms state minerologist of Cali
fornia, has expressed a determine
ton to prevent any validating in
e~lbryo district. but at the some
NE the promoters OF the camp will
be given every fair opportunity to
make good. One of the first alarms
to ring warning to the world was
that the early stampeders were stalk
ing of claims in six and eight feet of
snow. 1t will not be an easy matter
to convince official Washington that
locations thus made were by virtue
of demonstrated ore s~howings of
commercial value.
Mr.. Storms has been assailed by
a LOdol paper " hAo oN1At0NCf ~
which he replied in part as follows:
Il find certain mining publications
advertising Highgrade as a camp
where success is certain. | do not
blame the publishers of these
papers for accepting this business
as hat is what the papers are print
ed for, to make money for their own
ers, but | do blame irresponsible
promoters for the untruthful state
ments made by them and n all in
tending investors to investigate care
fully first. There is no doubt that
there is gold at Highgrade. the prin-
cipal property there at present being
that of the Fort Bidwell Consoli-
dated Mining company, which has a
10-stamp mill.
THE camp will probably develop
other good mines; | hope it will; but
] repeat what / have already said,
that the present knowledge of the
camp does not justify the strenuous
attempts being made to create a
stampede to that district where the
snow Is still deep. for il a rush does
occur 1t is bound to result in great
hardship to many. besides the loss of
money, which most Of those joining
in the rush can i'll afford. They who
profit by the stampede are the pro-
motors, the transportation companies
and the saloon men; that others will,
is doubtful. l have been In many

FOR MOBOLIZING TROOPS

Some weeks ago Major Roudiez OF
the United States army, visited
Carson. his purpose being to look
over an available ground for the
niobilizing of state or other troops.
After spending several days the
major returned to San Francisco.
Since that time more plans have
been framed. Several sites have
been spoken of, among them the old
Treadway field, neal the railroad
track, and an ideal location. In his
letter to Adjutant General Gilbert C.
Ross, of the Nevada state militia,
the major states that he has rec
commended Carson as the proper
place for the erection of barracks,
field targets and assembly quar-
tiers.
The above indicates that Uncle
Sam has not abandoned the original
plan of setting up barracks in Car
son. The major in his letter re-
fers favorably to the splendid water,
the fields. and the fact that the rail-
road with side tracks is available
at the point selected.
While no definite selection has
been made. the fact that the major
recommends the Bath holdings
would seem to place that property
as the most available.

JoHN GREGoyICH, ToNoPAH
MERCHANT, FATALLY STABBED


John Gregovich, a Tonopah mer-
chant and one of the pioneers of
southern Nevada, was attacked and
fatally stabbed at the station Tues
day morning by a foreigner named
M%urcovich. Gregovich was rushed
to the Miners hospital, where five
doctors were quickly summoned.
The wounded mar lived but a few
hours.
Murcoyieh is a cousin to one of
the men who lost their lives In the
Belmont disaster. He demanded
that the money which was coming
to the estate of the dead miner
be paid to him. Gregovich refus-
ed to pay 1t, and said that 1t
would be paid to the wife when
the court so ordered. Murcoyich,
without warning, grabbed Gregovich
and stabbed him four times.
W. C. Harding, agent of the Auto
company, jumped in between the
two men, as did j. E. Peck, agent
OF the railroad company, and pre-
vented further attack. William
Walker, assistant chief of police,
grabbed Murcoyich and threw him
Into an auto and rushed him to jail.
Gregovieh was highly respected.
