Fire Consumes Hay.

On Tuesday afternoon of this week
about l30 tons OF hay were burned on
the Murphy ranch just south OF town,
Some land leasers on the Bovard
ranch had set fire to some brush and
a wind coming up the blaze was swept
along through the saltgrass to the
haystacks Some of the hay belonged
to Henry Hanson, some to ii. Singer
land and some to George tombstone,
There was no way to save the stacks
after the fire got into the saltgrass.
The combined loss OF the three own
ers of the hay is about 81 900 or 81, 100,
The boys who started the brush fire
gave up their possessions to the own
ers of the hay to partly pay for the
loss

PROMISING PROPERTY
IN SMITH VALLEY

+. +. Adams, who was in Yering-
ton on business last week, has some
very promising mining property west
of Wellington in this county. The
property lies on the old Bodie and
Wellington road and consists of q
copper claims, silver-lead claims and
3 gold claims, and was acquired by
Mr. Adams by location and purchase.
The district is known as the Boulder
Mountain Mining district.
On one of the silver claims shaft
has been sunk to depth of As feet
on an l8-inch vein of ore that assays
well in the white metal, and a tunnel
50 feet in length has been run in on
one of the gold lodges, which is 3 feet
wide and carries good milling values
of free milling ore. Surface trench
ing on the copper ground shows the
ledge to be in the neighborhood of
800 feet wide between the blue lime
and the white lime Mr. Adams has
interested Chicago people in the prop
crty and is arranging to do consid
cradle development work this sum
mer. Ed Parr is experimenting the
property and has just taken a ST 500
contract to sink on the silver lead,
which shows 6O-ounce silver carrying
small gold values The ground is in
a promising looking country and has
the elements to make a copper dis
trict of some importance if capital can
be induced to invest in some develop
ment work

Mrs. Kenty Resided Here.

The tragedy that occurred in Oak
land last week, wherein former Mayor
Snow was shot to death by Adolph
Goldman, who was also killed by a
bullet from Shows pistol, had to do
with a resident of Yerington. Mr..
Snow was the father Of Mrs Gertrude
Kenty. who came to Ierington some
months ago and opened kindergar
ten school here. She came from Raw
hide. where Mr.. kcnty had been en-
gagged in mining. 1t transpires that
Goldman was in Ierington about five
weeks ago looking for Mr.. Snow, sup
posing that he was here with his
daughter. The report that Goldman
threatened Mrs. Kenty is erroneous,
but he was looking for her father.
Mrs. Kenty left Yerington a couple
OF weeks ago for Rawhide. Goldman
was an ex-convict, having served i'll
the California penitentiary for at
tempting Shows life some years ago.
Just what the trouble was between
Goldman and Snow can only be sur
missed. and that is that Snow objected
to the attentions OF Goldman to his
DAUGHTER

DAIRYING PAYS AT FALLON.
Failon Creamery Has Paid $4,000 So
Far to Farmers.

The Fallon Creamery has distrib
uted to the dairymen of this vicinity
in less than l8 months over $4,000
This handsome sum has furnished
many small farmer with ready cash
and has in no small measure con
tributed toward the discharge of the
annual water payments due the gov
crnment. The dairy COW and farm
poultry are becoming fixtures in this
thrifty valley, just as they have in the
populous eastern States, where the
agricultural classes have learned the
lesson that the farm must, so far as
possible, produce everything that the
family consumes.
The Fallon Creamery is the
farmers friend. and we believe we are
correctly informed when we state
that the profits are much greater &c
cordingly for the dairymen than for
the operators OF the creamery. How
ever, the enterprise is gradually grow
ing and under the careful manage
mcnt OF the home people having
charge of it, we believe it will grow
to be an enterprise of vast importance
to the people of the Truckee Carson
project. The farmers will do well
to increase their dairy herds from
year to year and enjoy the steady in

going into consumption but he be

COPPER SITUATION
IS STILL IMPROVING

In the last bulletin of Thompson,
Towle & Co. one of the largest
sellers of the metal, it is stated, in re
lation to the further strength in the
metal price, that producers are en-
deavoring to prevent runaway mar
ket, since the price has reached 10
cents and indications are that it will
go higher
Since the present advance in cop
per stocks began some three months
ago, the conditions have never been
as they are at the present time. The
demand which for some time has been
dead has now quickened very ma
terially Each increase in the price
of copper metal is bringing in new
buyers and those who hesitated to
purchase the metal at the low prices
which existed last summer are now
apparently the most anxious to buy.
Orders are now coming in from all
over the country.
The present position is most
peculiar one. We are desirous of
keeping our customers and letting
them purchase copper as low as pos
sible, but, as result of the rapidly
rising market--and we are keeping
pace in the quotation-it is an ex-
tremely difficult matter to fulfill their
orders at the price they desire
I'VE are opposed to a very high
price for the metal and would prefer
not to see such rapid advances, but
under the increased buying which is
coming in at each succeeding advance
in the metal the situation becomes
more and more difficult one"
