UNDERWRITERS CENSURED
FOR EMBALMING BODIES

I'VE have had evidence before us that
the said Donald A. <enney and Christo-
pher C. Gustn met their death between
the hours of 10 and II o'clock on the night
of July "a. and that their bodies We're em-
balmed Immediately upon reaching the
undertaking parlors. We further have evil
dence that the body of Christopher c.
Gustin was embalmed after instructions
by the coroner not to do so until he had
seen the body. We have further found
that this is a common practice on the part
of the undertakers unless they have in
structions not to do so. We have further
found that the embalming of these bodies
greatly interferred with the work of the
physicians in the postmortem examina-
tions which they held at the coroner
orders. We unhesitatingly censure such
practices on the part of undertakers as
in many cases 1t would absolutely prevent
the finding of the cause of death. The
body of no person who meets death by un-
natural cause should be embalmed until
order is given by the coroner, and we
recommend that the coroner give personal
notice to every undertaken to this effect.
I'm our investigation we have been
greatly hampered by the fact that the
coroner is so overcrowded with work and
so underpaid that he has more than he
can possibly do. 1t was necessary for
us to adjourn from July 81 to August 5
that the coroner might attend to impera-
tive duties elsewhere.
with the unusual number of deaths
by unnatural causes which occur in this
county. this handicap should not be
placed upon such an important office.
I'VE wish to extend our thanks to Cor
oner C. l.. Spain, Assistant Solicitor Hugh
Locke and their assistants for all courte-
sizes rendered to this jury.

TONOPAH WON'T PLAY WITH
GOLDFIELD ON THE FOURTH

Goldield is to have a little Fourth
of July celebration, all of its own
according to advices received from
the southern city, and Tonopah can
attend the affair if it sees fit, but
no events will be open to entries
from Tonopah. Although it
was previously announced both by
committees, kilograms and even the
Goldfeld press that Tonopah teams
had been invited to enter the drilling
and baseball contests. the invitations
have been recinded and there will be
no opportunity for outside talent to
take money out of the camp by win
ming a prize.
The manner in which the Gold
field committee has backed down is
best explained in the following para
graph from the Sunday issue of the
Tribune:
1.-The general committee decided
to limit the entries for the drilling
contest to Esmeralda county and
baseball plans have been altered, too,
by the committee and Goldfield City
league managers. so that the game
on the Forth will be between the
winners of the game today and that
of next Sunday"
The sudden change of the Gold
field oc%casioned no surprise in Ton
opah. for some such move was ex-
peeted. judging from past perform
ances on the part of the residents OF
the southern city, say the Bonanza.
Plans were Immediately discussed
for the holding of a drilling contest
in Tonopah, open to the state. at
which the first prize would be 81 900.
This project will be taken up with
the ladies having the Fourth of July
program in hand, and If it Is agree
able a committee will at once start
work canvassing the district TO secure
the AMOUNT necessary for the prize.
Tonopah has at least four teams to
enter the contest. while the remain
ing Nevada camps. including Gold
field, could be depended upon 10 en-
ter at least a half dozen outfits. The
prize necessary for the drillers. could
be procured in a few hours time,
judging from the favorable express
sions on the part of the merchants.
Tonopah possesses the drilling
rock used during the worlds cham
pionship contest here last year and
the stone can be placed in position in

REVIEWS OLD ASSOCIATES.
Bonanza

Nearly all the a~ble-bodied resi-
dents of Sparks went to Wadswor,h,
for "Wadsworth day" The occasion
was q neighborly visit between the
residents of the two towns for the
purpose of establishing closer ties of
friendship and understanding. Wads-
worth was once the home of May
Sparks residents and when the town
of Sparks was made the shops were
moved TO it and WadswoTth began TO
decline. Even the houses, in some
instances. were put on fiat cars and
moved away.
One of the strongest ties TO the
parent town is the fact that man, of
the relatives of Sparks persons lie
buried in Wadsworth cemetery. The
trip resulted in a plan to take better
care of the cemetery and the day
closed with a dance the proceeds of
which will be used for that purpose.

a mine, he concentrated his efforts in
a guleh where the vein, as it after
a depth of 200 feet it ran out with
out having encountered values. On
the contrary. Pike and his associates
have a large body of ore carrying
gold and a little silver that averages
S23 per ton. Ore for the shipment
to the Queen mill at Rawhide is now
being taken out.
In the discovery of the district in
which Pike and his partners have had
good fortune, a scent piece played
an important part. A cowpuncher
named Knapp sat with some friends
on a portion of the ledge outerop-
ping not far from where Rice had
done his work and idly picked at it
with a pick in which a nickel had
been used as a wedge in lieu of some
thing better.
The nickel fell out and fell into a
crevice. Knapp swore he was going
to get it anyway, and in picking for
it Clipped off a piece of the ledge
that showed free gold. He started
the first Bovard excitement. He did
some work on the property and then
sold it to Tex Richard. DR.. Bass and
others FOR $22,0O Through fail
ure of the purchasers to properly
prospect the work, the property re-
verted TO Knapp, who still owns it
and has it under lease. This is the
Gold Pen property. Judge Glynn of
Reno worked it at one time.

MAMMOTH PHOTOGRAPH OF
TONOpAH MINING DISTRICT.

After laboring for six months and
mourning an expense of $4,000, f..
w. Sheelor of Tonopah, has con-
structed the largest panorama cam
era in the world and the first picture,
which also has the distinction of be-
ing the largest ever taken, is now on
exhibition. The picture is IL feet, 3
inches. in length, and % inches in
width, and shows a panoramic view
of Tonopah district with over two
miles of territory being clearly de-
fined, says the Bonanza.
Sheelor is originally from Sisson,
Calf, and about six months ago
started work upon the construction
of what he declared to be the largest
camera in the world. For a number
of years he offered manufacturing
firms a fancy price to make such a
picture taking machine but the offer
was refused. Every piece of the
camera was made in Tonopah, except
lnS TIE ltlStr NHlin was hiBOiltd
from Germany. The process was
necessarily slow and it was not until
a short time ago that the work was
completed.
Last Thursday Sheelor carried the
camera to the top of Mt. Brougher.
The outfit was conveyed to the noun
tain top in sections and late in the
afternoon it was set up and the pic
ture taken.
The machine can take a picture SO
feet in length, which means a COM
plete circle. The width will be the
same in all pictures, or % inches.
The mechanism is so adjusted that
any fraction of the SO feet of film
can be exposed.

SEES END OF DIVORCE BUSI-
NESS RENO LAWYER GOES FAST

Oscar j. Smith, a member of the
Reno bar for some years, is the first
local attorney who plans TO leave the
city because OF the new divorce law,
increasing the time of residence from
six months to a year. Mr.. Smith
makes no secret of the reason for his
leaving. He goes to New York City
to open offices and will retain his of
flee here for the present, j. l. Van
derwerker being associated with
him, says the Reno Journal.
Between o and June 30, Mr..
Smith says, he expects TO see a con-
siderable addition to the number of
outside people in Reno who come to
seek divorces. After that he expects
to see very few arrive to take the
place of those who get their DEGREES
and depart. Hence he is taking time
by the forelock.
1T would be easy to test the law
and get a ruling on it inside of 81
days from January l. said Mr..
Smith. 81 do not believe it is con-
stitutional to prescribe one period OF
residence foc one purpose and anoth-
err period fof another. A citizen is Il
citizen whether he is here to vote or
TO get a divorce. | look to see a de-
cided change of sentiment by Janu-
airy /. There is usually a change of
sentiment when the pocket book is
hit. and | would not be surprised to
see meon file a suit after January
| for a person who has been here just
six months and throw the question
into the supreme court on mandamus
proceedings to force the local court
to try the case. After June 80, | do
not expect to see many divorce-seek-
ers come to Reno when they have
Idaho or Texas to go to for six months
residence, or Denver, Kansas City,
st. Louis or umerou other places
to go to for a years residence"
Mr.. Smith was a strong opponent
of the new divorce law, which was
put through the legislature as the re-
suit Of a Vigorous campaign in Reno.
