to the public and it began to perform
all the functions of banking ins.i-
tuition. The book was issued on the
occasion of the fiftieth anniversary
of the bank. Austin Corbet was the
first president, and from the time of
its establishment until the present
cessful and highly creditable. to all
concerned. Something of the growth
of the institution is shown by COM

DANGERS OF VACATION TIME.

The approach of the vacation sea
son makes it desirable to note again
that not all places where one may
spend the summer pleasantly are
health resorts. Many people seeking
recreation and recuperation away from
home often come back loaded with
disease germs rather than with re-
Enewed vitality. Indeed many resorts
where one may spend a vacation are
not health resorts at all, but veritable
centers of infection.
The Journal of the American Medi-
Ical association sounds timely warn
ing about typhoid at vacation times.
Typhoid is the index of the sanitary
status of rural resorts. While inves-
Itigation is difficult on account of the
lack of adequate supervision by
public authorities. yet it be-
hooves the seeker after health
or recreation to pay some at
|tention to this matter.
Many health resorts include in their
literature statements as to sanitary
conditions which afford at least one
means of forming an opinion as to the
Idesirability Of patronizlng them. The
health departments of some states
provide for the systematic inspection
of resorts with regard to sanitation.
New York for the past six years has
systematically inspected the resorls
OF that state. Michigan, containing a
large number of resorts, likewise looks
after these places carefully. Campers,
also, should exercise great care to Sc
lect places with unauestionable water
supply, and to adopt PROPER camp ar
arrangements as to the disposal Of
waste, prevention of breeding of flies.
proper protection from mosquitoes, etc.

NEED MORE BETS
AT FALLON FACTORY

Sugar company, stopped off in Winnie
mucca this morning, en- route from
Elko to Fallon. Seen at the Eldorado
this Afternoon by a Silver State re-
porter, and asked about his season 8
work, Mr.. Kent replied:
"We have closed down for the
season, after a successful run. How
ever we were able to secure only
about 1000 tons of beets. which is
not enough to make the business
profitable. In order to run at profit,
we should handle at least 10000 tons.
We are in hopes of securing that
amount next season, and to encourage
beet cultivation we offer the same
price, f. o. b. at any station in Ne

we hope will be increased next year. -

GREAT ACTIVITY IN
TENABO DISTRICT

General activity reminiscent of the
early days in Tenabo district is now
on and optimism is the general feel
ing among those who are doing their
annual assessment work.
Tenabo for the last few years has
been in state of tranquility, but i'm
portant developments have been GO
ing on of late which seem destined to
put the camp on a big producing
basis.
The Gold Quartz group, under the
superintendency of Ted Raleigh, an
experienced miner, has just com
pleted the annual labor on its group
of claims and the developments at
the 100-foot level have exposed 40
feet of commercial ore. Other de-
velopments have ore exposed that
carry values running from $500 to
81 500 to the ton. The tonnage now
exposed from the 10O-foot level to
the surface would Justify the erection
of mill of 100 tons a day capacity.
On the Phoenix and X Ray groups,
owned by the G. @. company, de-
velopments have exposed vast guam
titles of ore of milling grade and
these ores in conjunction with the
Gold Quartz ores will give reserve
sufficient to keep a mill in operation
for several years.
On Altenberg Hill set of leasers
is quite enthusiastic over the hold
ings. At times they are in picture
rock that would tempt high graders.
Will Altenberg and Norris Bertram
are running tunnel on the London
to tap vein at depth which made
excellent gold showings on the sur
face.
The Violet, owned by Martin Kline,
has a shaft 200 feet in depth and
levels at this point driven in differ
ent directions have disclosed show
ings worthy of further development.
The Horton group, owned by the
orton Commercial company of Bat
tie Mountain, have workings on the
Caledonian and the Independence
claims that show considerable COM
mercial ore.
Edward Herper, the mechanical
genius, is developing his property
with a self lf-dumping hoist of his own
invention. The work of hosting is
done from the bottom with an endless
cable and the bucket when ON top
dupms itself automatically. The Lit
tie Gem group is idle, owing to liti-
cation.
Lander, Keller and Payne are sink
ing shaft on the Aspen and expect
to reach the vein at 100 feet depth.
Ore of 40 ounces in silver and 20
per cent lead has been found here.
The Silver Side, owned by Mrs. M.
Engstrom, has been producer in the
early days, and has every indication
of entering the game again.
John Flynn, of Douglass, Wyo., has
been doing considerable work on the
Lovey group and has exposed large
body of lead and zinc ore.
Mr.. Larkin, a Salt Lake mining
man, has taken a bond and lease on
"a group of claims at Lime Stone,
south of Tenabo, and will at once
place force of men at work on de-
velopment. From indications he ex-
poets to be in the shipping class at an
early date.
A number of other properties are
being opened up and a period of pros
perity seems in store for the camp

OZONE MACHINES
AND PUBLIC HEALTH

The subject of ozone. in relation to
the air we breathe. is very large and
should be investigated jointly by
chemists, psychologists and electric
ians. 1t is unfortunate that exces-
sive claims have been made for ozone
hy over enthusiastic panacea agents,
Oh the one hand. and these have been
met, on the other hand. by somewhat
drastic countercharges from the med
ieal profession.
No reasonable person is likely to
dispute the proposition that air con-
tanning a relatively high concentra-
tion of ozone is unfit for breathing.
This does not necessarily contravene
the use of ozone as a purifier and dis
infectant. 1t seems to be geerally
admitted that ozone is powerful
natural ozidizing agent in nature, and
that one of the hygienie advantages
of living near the ocean is the pres
ence of a certain small percentage of
ozone in the air. There can be no
question as to the benefits derived
from ozone in the artificial steriliza-
tion of water. Like any other germi-
eidal substance, and excessive guam
tity may be dangerous to health.
Meanwhile, both exaggerated claims
and exaggerated alarms are not like
ly to produce any useful results, ex-
cept perhaps to stimulate cautions
and scientific investigation over the
very large field brought into discus
sion.-Electrica World.

RECLAMATION SETTLERS
ARE GRANTED EXTENSION

Engineer d. w. Cole, of the
Truckee-Carson project, has received
the following telegram from Comp
troller w. A. Ryan at Washington,
ID. c.:
"By instruction from Secretary
of the Interior Lane, project manag-
ers are hereby authorized to announce
that no action will be taken for the
cancellation of entries upon govern
ment reclamation projects for the
non payment of building or operation
and maintenance charges before
March /, 1914, and that payment on
or before that date will be considered
full compliance with the order of
June %, l913.o
Thirty Day Dispensation.
Under the order of last June, De-
cember 1st of this year was the date
set when the annual building charge,
reduced to third the installment
contemplated by the reclamation ten
payment plan, was due. Later, it was
given out that owing to the time re-
quired for setting the legal machinery
in action looking towards the eff
fecting of cancellations of the en-.
tries of delinquent entrymen, that the
postponement would be made to ex-
tend to February l, 1914. This late
action is postponement of thirty
days.
This concession, taken in connection
with the 50-cent building charge last
year to cover the 1911 installment,
has proved a boon to the water users
of the Truckee Carson project.

NOW LIE IN THEIR
LAST RESTING PLACE

Without formal ceremony and with
only the relatives and intimate
friends of the deceased present, the
body of George S. Nixon, late United
States senator from Nevada and
prominent capitalist of this state, was
moved yesterday afternoon from it's
resting place in the Kaiser vault,
where it has lain for nearly two
years, to the marble mausoleum that
has just been completed for its re-
ception.
The new tenement is beautiful
marble citadel which dominates
Mountain View cemetery and looks
out over the valley of the Truckee
where Senator Nixon made his home,
says the Journal
1t was constructed at a cost of
$4,000 and is probably the most i'm

this state.
