The Battleship Nevada
Pride of the Navy

The battleship Nevada will be the
pride of the American navy when COM
pleted, or one of a pair of prides, for the
Oklahoma will be sister ship. The
vessels will be 5S3 feet long, 95 feet and
?. inches wide, and will have displace-
ment OF p, 500 tons. They will have a
contract speed of 20.5 knots, and will
mount ten l4-inch and twenty one 5
inch guns. The manner of mounting
the big guns marks a distinct advance
in American naval architecture, as the
two turrets nearest the ends of each
ship contain three guns and the turrets
amidship will contain two. These will
be the first vessels of the navy on which
the guns are thus mounted. Many adj
vantages are claimed for this manner of
mounting, chief among which is the
efficiency in aiming and the destruction
that must follow when three enoromous
shells hit the mark at once.

Will Get Money
From Miller g. Lux

After nine-year battle i'll the courts.
Thomas Ross Cooley, a poor furniture
dealer of Grass Valley, Cal, has been
awarded a slice of the famous Miller &;
Lux estate that will approximate nearly
800, 600.
Under a decision rendered by Judge
Murasky, OF San Francisco, in the Su-
perior Court, three four -hundredths OF
this estate, comprising more than a mil
lion acres of valuable CALIFORNIA land
and valued at $40 900, 900, will go to
Cooley in payment of attorneys fees
owed by the German heirs of the late
Charles Lux to James II. Campbell, a
prominent San Jose attorney, who as
signed his claim to Cooley, a relative.
To determine just what Cooley's share
comes to in dollars and cents the enor-
nous Miller * Lux estate must be por-
toned for the first time since it passed
into the joint ownership of the famous
cattle and land kings.
Cooley's share will be in the neighbor

Want Our Spuds Now

California potato bu yers are now pur-
chasing all the Mason Valley spuds they
can secure, eel worm or no eel worm.
They are paying $50 per ton for the
spuds on the cars here with the under.
standing that if the spuds do not pass
inspection in California they will be sent
on to Texas or some other point, and
the shipper to then receive $50 per ton
for them. 1t will behoove the Nevada
growers even now to watch closely that
their potatoes are not sold i'll California
and the report sent back that they were
sent on to Texas, and the settlement
attempted on the $50 basis instead of a
$50 one.

Protect Fruit Trees

+. b. Headley, of the Experiment
Farm, is receiving numerous inquiries
from town people about the feasibility of
using smudge pots to protect their fruit
trees from frost. However, he informs
us that it is not practical; that the smudg-
ing can only be used proftably on large
orchards; that with one-acre orchard
the expense would be proportionately
increased over that on ten-acre orchard.
AS matter of protection for very
few trees, Mr. Headley suggests the
placing of sort of hood over the tree,
made of burlap or gunny sacks, with a
lighted lantern hanging iii the tree. He
believes this would save the fruit from
ordinary frost. Eagle.

CONFIDENCE
We Back Up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation
and Money

We are so positive that we can relieve
constipation, no matter how chronic il
NAV be, that we offer to furnish the
medicine free of all cost if we fail.
We think that it is worse than useless
to attempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Cathartics may do much
harm. They may cause reaction, irri-
tate and weaken the bowels, and make
constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied and
may be caused by weakness of the nerves
and muscles of the large intestine or
colon. To expect cure you must there
fore tone up and strengthen those parts
and restore them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active principle of
our remedy involved the labor of skillful
research chemists. This remedy pro-
duces results such as are expected from
the best of the best known intestinal
tonics, and it is particularly prompt in
it's results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are exceedingly
pleasant to take and are ideal for child
rem They apparently act directly on the
nerves and muscles Of the bowels, hav-
ing, it would seem, neutral action on
other organs or glands. They do not
purge or cause inconvenience. If they
do not positively cure chronic or habitual
constipation and thus relieve the myriads
of associate or dependent chronic all
ments, your money will be refunded.

sizes of packages, l0c, 25c and soc. Re-
member, you can obtain Rexall Rem

MINING SUIT OF
IMPORTANCE
Takes Number Of Yerington
People to Hawthorne
as Witnesses

A mining suit involving quite little
stake was before the court in Hawthorne
this week, and took G.. W. Webster, of
the Lyon County Bank, G. F. West, N. A.
to the Walker Lake town as witnesses.
They travelled i'll Mr.. Webster's Ram
bier car. The suit is three cornered
one. Sometime ago l.. II Bartholomew
purchased mill from the Nevada Engi-
neering works. of Reno, to work ore
from lease he had on property in the
Mount Grant section. He did not pay
for the mill, but turned 1t over to Dillon
& West, of this place, who did pay for
it, or assumed the obligation. Later on
n. Poll, of Mt. Grant, attached the mill
for money owed him by Bartholomew
In this deal things became considerably
mixed. The property on which the mill
is located and from which ore was taken
for milling, belongs to Hanson. Bovard,
ct al, and has indications of being a
nice little gold mine. Considerable bull
lion was turned out while the mill was
running, but for some reason the debts
were not paid, and Bartholomew had TO
give up his option on the ground. The
Court, after hearing the evidence in the
case at Hawthorne the first of this week,
took the matter under advisement for 90
days. The amount involved i'll the suit
is in the neighborhood of 81 900.

the time of Mr.. Pursel's death. Mr..
Pursel acquired fine piece of ranch
property, which he leaves unincumbered.
He leaves to mourn his demise a wild
ow and eight children, three brothers
and cousin, besides a large number of
grand children and great grand chill
dren. The relatives are Mrs. II. O.

BLUESTONE MINE
TO Be A SHIPPER
Big Copper Property to Begin
Sending 100 Tons a Day
to the Smelter

Just what the big Bluestone property
in this district would do when the smell.
ter started up at Thompson has been a
conjecture. The Bluestone has a vast
amount of tonnage, and also has concen-
trating plant on its property. 1t was
supposed that at some time this prop
erty would be started up and the con.
centrates sent to the smelter for reduc-
ton, but it now transpires that the Blue
stone is going to ship-l00 tons of ore a
day to the smelter. This is the purport
of telegram sent by w. c. Orem, OF
Salt Lake, to the Orem Bulletin, pub
lshed in Boston.
The Bluestone is the property of Cap
tain DeLamar, who has owned it for a
number of years past. 1t is one of the
big properties of this district and has
low-g grade ore blocked out in it's devel-
opment sufficient to run big smelter OF
its own. The ore, most of it, is con
centrating proposition, and can be hand
led very satisfactorily by the electro
magnetic process. This has been dem
onstrated BY plant of this kind now
on the property. When all things get
to running right spur line of road from
the Copper Belt will reach the Bluestone
and the property will become one of the
big producers of this big district.

JULIUS CAESAR UP TO DATE.-It was
dreary, stormy night; the rain came
down in torrents and the lightning played
among the clouds. Now and tlren the
moon peeped through and gave the
whole street grewsome aspect. 1t was
about the hour of midnight when two
down trodden citizens met behind Col
Inns blacksmith shop and solemnly
shook hands and resolved to throw off
the rule of the monarch, Barnibus
They agreed to stab him to death on the
Ides of March, when the Senators con-
vened at Mason
The Ides of March came. The Sena-
tors came into the convention chamber.
Bemus and Blakus, the two conspirators,
surrounded Senator Barnabus and stab
bed him to death. When he saw Blakus
among the conspirators he cried, Et
tn Blakus,' and fell dead at the foot OF
Hawk Mason's statue, pierced by many
wounds.
Afterwards Riliius gave funeral ora
ton over the dead body of Barnibus.
He excited the people of Mason to a
frenzy, and they decided to let Riliius
be their leader, and capture Blakus and
Bemus.
Blakus and Bemus drew up their army
on the plains of Wabuska. The day be-
fore the battle Beinus and Blakus had a
very serious tiff in Bemus' tent, but they
shook hands and resolved to make a
stand against Riliius and his army.
That night the ghost of Senator Bar
nibus appeared to Blakus and said, II
will meet thee on the plains of Wa
buska" The next day the forces OF
Blakus and Benlus were overcome.
Blakus seeing that the game was up
fled to Thompson, while Bemus FASTENED
at full speed to Schurz. Riliius came
into power and they gave him crown
but just then the English-S
students awoke, all shaky and covered
with perspiration.
