Hereafter there will be no gasoline
stoves in use within the incorporate

was decided upon at the last meeting Of
the city board, aud under instructions
the city attorney has drawn an ordi-
nance that will absolutely prohibit the
use of such stoves. The ordinance was
adopted after considerable discussion
The chief reason for the ban being placed
on this class of heaters is the fact that
nearly every fire that has occurred in
Las Vegas within the past year has
been due to their faulty actions.

rabbits will have found the hole under
the fence and proclamation will have
been made by the ruling potentate of
the rabbits in that neigh hborhood that

After q we'll worn trail Is made to the
opening in the fence. and the opening
has been worn smooth by the passage of
many bellies, add the wire tunnel on the
inside of the fence.
This can be done by humping mp the
wire and securing the edges to the
ground with wooden pegs. A little dirt
thrown on the edges Of the wire makes
q finish to the job. although It is not
necessary. The rabbits will continue
to come into the trap through the hole

they attempt to get out they run around

never again find the end Of the tunnel.

CANAL ON SLEEPING VOLCANO
Clouds of Steam and Blue Smoke
Rising From Excavations Made
At the Culebra Cut

New York, March 13 The statement
that a sleeping volcano, dormant for
many centuries, is threatening the
safety Of the Panama Canal, is made in
special reports from Colon published in
New York, says an Associated Press
dispatch.
The volcano is said to underlie the
Culebra Cut and it is stated that "the
report of the Division Engineer at Guile.
bra is rather pessimistic."
Smoke From Nesoly Turned Ground
The fear Of volcanic trouble had its
origin in the fact that clouds OF steam
and blue smoke have been rising from
newly turned ground. Every drill hole
in the affected area is tested with q
thermometer before dynamite is put in.
to prevent premature explosion.
The Division Engineers report of
the phenomenon, is in part as follows:
Noted Three Weeks Ago
"Three weeks ago / noticed that the
locality described. which consisted of
stratifisd sedimentary rock, among
which there appeared some Ignite OF a
low grade was sending mp thick cloud
of white steam and vapor. examined
the spot and found that the entire mass
was heated to a considerable tempera.
ture.
"Steam was escaping from numero us
small openings and from four principal
vents. The sides of two of the vents
were encrusted with white and yellow
powder material, the yellow appearing
to be sulphur.
Temperature Is Increasing
within the past five days there has
been quite q change in two important
characteristics. The temperature has
increased and pale blue smoke, in
stead of steam. is now emerging from
the vents.
ITO give an idea OF the temperature
Of the larger vent took a piece of
white pine and held it for three minutes
in the mouth Of the largest vent and it
was completely charred."
The Canal Commission's geologist
declares that the steam and smoke are
due only to the oxidation of pyrites and
have no volcanic significance.

KENTS CATTLE CO. SETTLES.
Pays Twenty-Five Years Rent
And Indictments Are Not to
Be Tried

In the Federal Court at Carson last
week compromise was reached be-
tween the Government and the Col
conda Cattle Company whereby the
latter pays $4,000 for the rental OF 2200
acres Of Government land for a period
of 20 year,, and the Government drops
the Little Rock Greek" case. on which
indictments were based.
Was Rodeo Corral
This erse was filed in August, 1910.
and was for the purpose of compelling
the cattle company to remove fence it
was alleged to have placed around 2200
acres of Government land in Elko
County. on Little Rock Greek. about go
miles from the lands over which suit
has been in progress in the Court for
more than q week.
The 1900 acres had been fenced for
quarter of a century and was used by
the Golconda Cattle Company for few
days each year when its cattle and
those of other owners were rodeod on
the ranges. The fences were built long
before this company existed.
Kent Removed Fences
After the Government had filed its
suit, however, it found that the company
had moved the fences more than year
previous to the time the suit was COM
menced, and the action could not be sus.
tained. Damages in the sum of $1,000
were asked. however. aud at confer
ence yesterday it was agreed that the
company should pay 500 per year for a
period of 25 years. This is $500 more
than could be secured on conviction,
Attorney Platt states.
The fencing of the land had occurred
many years ago, and Congressman Will
lam Kent of California was not con-
nected with the company until the past
few years. He made investigations
from time to time of the company's af-
fairs aud when he found that Govern
ment land was being encroached upon
he ordered such encroachment to cease.
There was doubt as to whether the
fencing constituted an enclosure and an
absolute lack of any sho wing of bad
faith on the part of the Golconda Cattle
Company.
