PEAT MAY BECOME
A NEVADA PRODUCT.

1t is stated that a peat field has
been found near Gardnerville that
promises a new industry up the val
ley, and also should make a cheap
and desirable fuel for this section.
The matter has been tested out by
the Dangerg company and the results
are more than satisfactory. Briquets
made from the material have proven
more than the claims as they burn
we'll and tests show a high per cent
age of carbon. 1t is stated that some
six hudred acres have been located
and that developments are now be-
ing carried on in this new field of
industry. Should the find prove suf-
ficient in quantity a factory for rem
dering it marketable will be es-
tablised this summer, says the Car
10 News.
Parties who are well acquainted
with Carson Valley tell of this peat
field from experinece. At the Ben
Palmer farm in years gone by many
ground fires have been started that
have burned for months. Even the
flooding of irrigation has failed to
put this fire out, and it was un-
doubleday this peat field or one like
it that burned and worked its way
underground for acres. With this
knowledge in the minds of many it
is strange that the commercial end
this valuable deposit has not been
opened up before. A number of peo-
pie have told of such fires and of the
efforts to put them out. The devel-
opments along this line will be
watched with interest. as fuel is
growing higher along with other ex-
penses of living.

TONOPAH MINER MEETS
FEARFUL DEATH IN SHAFT.

James Hammond. assistant mas
ter mechanic of the Tonopah Extern
sion, was killed at the Merger when
he was knocked from his position in
the shaft at the 500 foot level and
hurled to the bottom, 400 feet
below. Practically every bone in his
body was broken.
Hammond had been sent from the
Extension to the Merger to superin-
tend the installation of sinking
pumps and was preparing to cross
from one side of the shaft to the
other when he was struck by the as
cending cage. The body a carried
up the shaft to the roof of the level
but fell out upon the station floor
and into the shaft to the stump in the
bottom.
The mechanics assistant gave the
alarm and the body was recovered
and brought TO the surface.
The remains were taken to Fruit
vale, Calf. for interment, the body
being escorted to the depot by mem
bers of the local lodge of Knights of
Pythias, of which the deceased was
a member.
Hammond was aged about so
years and was a native of California.
He is survived by a widow, two sons
and a daughter. The deceased was
an expert mechanic and millman.
and had resided in Tonopah for a
number of years.
1t is believed that Hammond
was unaware of the approach of the
cage when he attempted to cross the
shaft, although the moving cable
would have announced this fact had
it been observed. The method of
crossing the shaft was by holding on
to the guides and using the timber
sets as stepping places. Hammond's
body was in direct line with the as
cending cage and the force of the
blow received was sufficient to cause
death.

WYNN ENUCCA BELIEVES
THAT ADVERTISING PAYS.

Believing that Winnemucca noun
tain that overlooks the town on the
north side of the Humboldt river
should be made as picturesqu e as
possible, the members of the River
side club are contemplating putting
a brand on the side of the old moun-
tain in the way of a large wv. The
initial, which is to be of great di-
minsions, will be built of rock and
laid in a trench and then whitewash-
ed, and completed can be seen for
many miles, both east and west,
along the lines of both railroads. The
place selected for the big "W" will
be on the side of one of the highest
peaks just east of Robins canyon.
To carry out this plan the club mem
bers will arrange a picnic for the day
the big w" is to be started and
everybody will be invited to take
part in the event. As a commemora-
ton of the great event a large
American flag will be unfurled and
foated TO the breeze from the high
est pinnacle on Winnemucca noun
tain.-Humboldt Star.

serious. His body was pierced from
the caps, tin from the boxes and
dirt and rocks. Numerous particles
penetrated the intestines but DR..

declared that only a small artery was
punctured. The loss of blood caused
a general weakening of his eonstitu-
