SNOW HOLDS UP '. at.

The V. & T. express was up
against hard old game today but
finally pulled into the local station
about l 80 o'clock this afternoon.
The trouble was all caused by the
snow that fell this morning,
and being driven by one of
those Washoe zephyrs, piled up in
drifts all over the mou tain.
Engineer Pohl had q hard pull
making the grade between Mound
House and Gold Hill, especially
across the American fiat, and just
south of the Crown Point ravine,
encountered a drift that was pro-
badly 10 feet deep. This was too
much for No. IL, and operations
came to a halt, while Conductor
Mccormick kept the wires hot call
ing for assistance. An engine and
snow pillow WAS despatched at once
from Carson, and there was no
trouble thereafter in making
Virginia. The express was practi-
cally on time, when the big drift
loomed up in Gold Hill. Harry
Dunn drove to Gold Hill with the
mail wagon, and brought the
sacks to the local Office. so that
there was little delay in distribut-
ing the morning letters and
papers. There was no connection
with the western train on the
Southern Pacific.-tirginia Chron-

whose flow of conversation was
simply maddening to the GOOD
natured but busy pr. 81 ;e By
hook or CT ook the old fellow man
aged to get by the sentin Is, and
Lincoln was too soft hearted to
give him peremptory orders to re-
main away, relates a writer in the
Omaha Bee. One afternoon whan
he had interrupted important bust
ness for nearly an hour the presi-
dent suddenly rose, hurried to q
cupboard and drew forth a large
bottle. ..--.. .. ....
did you ever use this remedy
for baldness?" the unwelcome call
err was asked. ..... ~, -.
Never" he replied, examining
the label. .... &c.,. .r

air of one comforting a special
favor, "you may have it. Here,
take the bottle, 60 home. rub il
we'll into the head and come bark,
say, in three months and let me
know if it did you good"

SENDS 1920
WORDS A MINUTE

A Madrid dispatch gives details
Of new invention which is said
to :evolutionize telegraphy.
The machine, which is declared
to be an Improvement on the
Hughes instrument, was invented
and manufactured bySrnor Balsera
of the Spanish telegraph depart
ment. 1t is capable of sending and
receiving 1920 words minute,
three times the velocity of the
Hughes machine. Senior Balsera's
machine possesses a type wheel
similar to that of the Hughes
apparatus; but, whereas with the
latter only five impressions or let
tiers can be effected per revolution,
with the former fourteen may be
made with a keyboard of the same
size. '.'.
; The instrument, it is stated, has
been thoroughly tested by the
Spanish telegraph department,
which has ordered twenty machines.

SMALLEST COUNTRY IN S
EUROPE TO CELEBRATE

The centenary of the Napoelonic
war calls-a, tention to the existence
Of the smallest state in Europe, the
autonomous republic of Moresnet,
on the boundary between Germany
and Belgium, which will soon cele-
brate the hundredth anniversary of
its establishment.
Muresnet has an area of barely
one and one-quarter square miles
and a population of $500. 1t owes
IFS existence to a boundary con-
troversy for the control of once
imp ortant zinc mine. A boundary
commission settling the frontiers
of Holland and Prussia after the
fall of Napoleon in 1914 was un-
able to agree upon the ownership of
this tiny piece of land with it's val
liable mining rights and finally left
the question for future settlement.
Neither power was to occupy il,
and it was to be administered
Jointly by the two states.
In pratlce the joint administra-
ton soon resulted in an administra-
tion by neither state, and the COM
munity became autonomous under
the protection and tuteIage of
Prussia and Holland and later of
Prussia and Belgium. In 1841 the
two guaranteeing countries
regularized this and formally gave
the district its own independent
administration.
1t has no courts, but litigants
can choose between the Belgium
and Prussian tribunals in beginning
litigation, which ;e subject to the
laws neither of Germany nor of
Belgium. but of the ancient Code
Napoleon.

BUlCARS KILLED TURKS
Like DOGS

+ = An Austrian woman living in
KaVala has written a letter dated
Dec. 9, but only now published in
the Montags Zeitung, in which she
describes fearful atrocities by
Bulgarian Komitadjis upon the
Turkish inhabitants. Having de-
scribed tn arrival of the Komitadjis
in Kavala and the arrest of the
governor she proceeds:
"On the following day q man
hunt, or. more properly speaking,
Turk hunt, began. People who
had committed no other crime
than they were lslamites, and these
the best situated in the city, were
taken prisoneres and executed
without even a pretense Of a trial
in the most cruel manner.
"At midnight prisoners were
awakened bound together while
half naked in twos and threes and
then wounded in the abdomen be-
tween between the ribs and 10
other parts Of the body with
bayonets. The murderers then re.
versed their rifles and beat them
to death with the butt ends of guns
like mad dogs, Age or rank was
no reason for mercy. On the first
night thirty-hine were tortured to
death, ON the second fifteen, on
third eight and on the following
night thirty, until 115 were killed
in Kavala alone.
"In a neighboring city the Turks
defended themselves and shot two
soldiers. Tl.ereupon their officer
then took out his watch and said:l
II is q o'clock. Now you may do
what you like to the Turks until 4
tomorrow. That was enough for
the soldiers. The brutal wretches
murdered 200 Turks in twenty
four hours"

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one. way to
cure deafness, and that is nv
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inf1amed condition
Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachiian Tubes. When This
tube is inf1amed you have a run,bf.
ing sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, snd unless the
inflammation can be taken urout and
this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be forever
destroyed: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrn, which is
nothing but an iniamed condition
Of the Mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused
by Catrrah) that cannot be cured

GREAT SHOWING
FOR CLARK COUNTY

All records Of zinc production in
Nevada we're broken by the Yellow
Pine district in 1919, when nearly
100000 pounds Of zinc (fgured
rs smeItcr) was produced, accord
ing to figures compiled by the u.
S. Geological Survey. This is an
increase of about 2?3 per cent
over the production Of 1911, when
only 3,548,032 pounds of. smelrer
was reported. The chief producer
was the Yellow Pine mine, which
is. equipped with the only concen-
traitor in the district. The Potosi
and others also contributed.
Mines in the Phoebe district of
Lincoln county and the, Yellow
Pine district in Clark county furn-
ished the largest part of the lead
production, which is estimated to
have increased from 3,263,657
pounds in 1911 to nearly 10000,
600 pounds in 1912. The adjust
ment of litigation at Phoebe result
ed in Increased ore production, in
that camp, along with the compile
tor of railroad spur to the
RullioGyilie failing dump which
furnished from II to Is cars daily.
About 300 tons of iron manganese
ore, containing small quantities of
lead and silver, was shipped daily
from the Prince mines and 100
tons from the Day Bristol mine.
The mines of the Yellow Pine dis
trict produced an increased
quantity of lead ore and concen-
trates. the largest yield in the
history Of the district. Co.,. ..'
Nevada mines produced greater
tonnage of gold, copper, lead, and
zinc ore in 1912, bu it was pro-
badly not over one per cent greater
