A romance of year and half
standing, and which begun in the di-
vorce colony of Reno, was revealed
yesterday when Mr.. and Mrs. David
Staunton registered at the Hotel st.
Francis, says yesterdays Chronicle.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SHIRTS
BOUGHT AT BARGAIN SALE

| remember Hank Scott well. He
lived out in my town and one day he
visited the city and bought a half
dozen flannel shirts at a bargain
sale. n the way home there was a
wreck and Hank was thrown through
a bridge into the water. Fortunate
ly, he was unharmed, and reached
home in an hour or so, by walking
vigorously. He groped his way up to
bed and lighting the lamp was supris-
ed at his wife's exclamation:
"Well, for Heavens sake, Hank
Scott, what do you mean by coming
home without any shirt and one o
them new tangled neckties around
your neck2'
The shirt had shrunk,
Hank had seven children, and they
started those shirts down the line.
The oldest boy squeezed into them al
ter the first washing. The second lad
fell heir to them after the second
washing, and so on down to the baby.
But they had to stop that because one
night the kid upset the bottle of milk
on the shirt and was purple in the
face when Mrs. Scott awakened and
rescued it. Since then, Hank always
buys his flannel shirts from his home
merchant. cit may cost little
more at the start says Hank, "but
it IS burned sight less worrifyin
afterwards. FIX

FREE AND EASY POLITICS
In HUMBOLDT COUNTY

Humboldt county must have had
nice time during previous administra
tions but there are signs that the
second largest county in the state Is
going to insist on revision or
morals in the conduct of public at
fairs. This is the county that kicked
because the tax commission raised IL
a couple of millions in the assessed
valuation and proved conclusivelv
that scores OF rich taxpayers were
escaping with nominal assessments.
The report of the last grand jury
furnishes some very interesting read
ing Judging from that document, it
appears as the majority OF ohcials
were doing as they pleased under the
conviction that they were not re
sponsible to any higher authority.
The grand jury proposes house.
cleaning that may relegate some or
the best citizens to private life. The
jury found that a number of county
officers handling funds failed to mako
returns to the county treasurer, as
prescribed by law, and used the public
moneys for speculation and other pur-
poses not sanctioned by ethics or
politics. The jailers at Lovelock and
Winnemueca have been doing as they
pleased and their removal is recon-
mended forthwith. The condition of
the schools is described as highly un-
satisfactory and insanitary to q de-
gree that menaces the public health.
Almost everything and everybody is
condemned, with the exception of the
county hospital administration, which
is said to be as nearly perfect as
could be.

RELEASE THE HIDDEN
WATERS OF THE STATE

If all the rivers and similar water
courses of Nevada were to be bot
toned and walled with concrete, and
porvided with intakes for the tribu-
taries, but permitting none of the wa
ter to escape by seepage, there would
be some very sizeable streams in the
state. One of them would be the
Amargosa, as mysterious as the geo
graphical formations in Alaska,so ex-
ouisitelv described by Service:
There's a land where the mountains
are nameless and the rivers run God
knows where
Living on the desert at night. with
the canopy of the celestial spheres
above and nothing beneath but the
saddle blanket, one hears the ripple
and murmur of the stream beneath.
One camps by a spring and sees in it
the eyeless fish that dwell in the sub
terranean current and pay occasional
visits to the breathing places of the
river. Should an engineer come with
ingenuity To dam this stream and
with the financial hacking to accom-
olish the undertaking. vast acreage
would he redeemed. The same is true
of the Humboldt meandering over a
course of one thousand miles, taking
the drainage of half the state, ripping
on the surface, roaring beneath.
Nevada has water for irrigation
and to spare, and maybe il is after
all a benign influence which keeps the
flow beneath tn esurfaee, where it is
secure from evaporation. This prob
lem will be solved, that of lifting the
water to the surface, where it will
perform the duties imposed upon it by
the tillers of the soil. The working
out of this problem will well repay
the best engineering intellect and re
ward the investors in such enter
prises.-Reno Gazette.

RfB[R EXPLOITS
RICHES OF BUCKSK|N

Frank Reber, newspaper man and
contributor to the literature of min
ing, was in Reno yesterday from Ma
tional, where he has re-established
himself as the prophet of the hills,
says Mondays Journal.
Reber says National bids fair to
eclipse all past production next spring
and that the new showings indicate
that the original National may prove
to be of secondary Importance before
the full history or the camp is writ
ten.
Recent new strikes now attracting
attention are on the White Rocks,
Sam Flynn IS Tomboys and Senator
Bell s Buckskin National.
The White Rocks is on the Hines
Baldwin McCloud lease and shows
Reber. He says some goes as high as
$50 to $40 pound.
The Flynn Martin property is be-
tween the Buckskin and Charleston
Hill and has strong vein carrying
rocker ore of an assay value Of 1887
per ton.
The Buckskin National gives prom
Use of beino the largest body of ore
and has remarkable high grade val
ues. 1t is on the eastern slope of
Buckskin mountain and IN the south
ern part of National district. The
high grade ore occurs in vein three
feet wide and goes from $40 to $50 a
pound, according to Reber.
The property is proved on two
levels and there is a footwall streak
three to five feet wide yielding good
milling ore. A shipment of lag
pounds of high grade ore netted ST.
SAC last week. The vein can be trac-
ed north for $500 feet and mining
men expect that it will depelop that
the Buckskin is the main lode and
the National a branch.
A lease has been given on th5
Buckskin National to w. E. Staunton
and Harry Dunn, of Winnemucca,
who are installing a plant and getting
supplies.

their strength and security. Being

richest productive era in its his
