Phone Company
Makes Denial

Anent to the publication in this
paper of an article wherein it was
stated that complaint was to be
filed with the Railroad Commission
against the Carson Telephone COM
pany to force messages to be routed
the cheapest wire between Carson
and points in Mono county, the
latter company has filed with the
Railroad Commission, and made
public, statement that they never
have routed a message over the
Yerington wire, unless so requested
by patrons. The company also states
that it is immaterial to them which
route its patrons may select to send
their messages, and that it has no
desire to send message over any
line which may have a higher rate
than the other, unless the party so
sending it desired it so sent and re-
quests the same to be especially
that way.

Brigham Young's ambition was to
found an empire in the west, which
would include all the present Pacific
Coast states, beginning on the east
line of Utah, and extending north
and south from British Columbia to
Mexico.
Their first crops were reaped in
the fall of 1S47, and in the spring of
1848 Brigham bade his followers to
spread out over the land and settle
wherever they could and cultivate
the land and raise stock and to
at all times remain subject to the
orders of the Church. What is now
the State of Nevada was then Car
son County, Utah Territory. His
commands were promptly obeyed,
and some parties came to western
Nevada, and some to eastern Neva-
da. and the others went to Califor-
MIA, New Mexico and Arizona.
Eastern Nevada is much nearer
Salt Lake than western Nevada, and
the party that migrated to Eastern
Nevada built the first log cabins or
houses in what is now known as the
State of Nevada.
They built in Lamoille Valley, Elko
County. Some settled in Ruby Val

DIES BY HER

DAUGHTERS ACT
Mrs. A. Chalmers of Alpine
County, Turns on Gas in
Oakland Home

The following from the Bulletin
tells of the tragic end of one of
the widest known women of Alpine
county. Through her husband j.
Chalmers, her name is closely in
terwoven in the mining history of
that county. Her husband. after
spending millions Of English capital
at Silver Mountain. in a fruitless
mining venture, vanished from
sight. leaving his wife behind. All
these years she lived alone at Silver
Mountain. and for some time prior
to her departure for Oakland she
was the sole resident of that camp
which at one time had a population
of over 5000 people. She believed
in her husband, although he desert
ed her and her child. She had Wis
ions that he would raise more capi-
tai. return and make his mine give
up their supposed riches. As years
rolled by her faith in his return
grew lees and in recent years she
was seldom heard to mention his
name.
Her daughter grew to womanhood
married and settled in Oakland.
Some months ago she dropped from
sight, and statewide search failed
to reveal her whereabout.
The mother sold her few belong
ings and went in search of her
daughter. The Bulletin says:
Oakland, Dec. 29.-Driven to
dependency by grief over the dis
appearance of her daughter six
months ago, Mrs. Anette Chalmers,
81 years old, committed suicide by
asphyxiation in her room at the
Piedmont apartments. 4046 Pied
mont avenue. last night. She was "a
widow and came here only a few
weeks ago.
Before opening the jet, Mrs.
Chalmers carefully stuffed the key
hole with paper, and odor of gas
was not detected until late this
morning. The door was forced
open and her body. fully dressed,
was found on the couch.
In her arms was a picture of her
daughter. Mrs. Louise Carstens,

migrants from Salt Lake reached
Carson Valley.
In 1856 when Brigham Young
feared trouble with the United
States, and while he was governor
of Utah Territory. which then in
cluded what is now Nevada. he ord

Shipments
OF Sheep Made

If there is another agricultural
district in Nevada shipping more
beef and mutton than Carson Val
ley, considering the size, we have not
heard of it. 1t is, of course, true,
that other Nevada counties are
heavy shippers of stock, but they
are also much larger in area than
Douglas. Stock buyers say that
they never saw a finer lot of steers
and mutton sheep than produced in
Carson Valley this season. Stock is
going to the market in the best
possible condition, due to extra care
in feeding and dry feed corrals.
Alfalfa fed stock is considered on an
equal basis with those of the corn
sections. Experiments with a daily
ration of barley in connection with
alfalfa, is said to be a success and
will probably be generally adopted
by stockmen within a very few
years.
Since last Saturday the following
shipments have been from this Val
ley:
Fifteen carloads of lambs were
shipped Sunday, being consigned to
the Western meatsscompany of San
Francisco.
Monday carload of hogs were
shipped to Goldfield.
On the same date nine carloads of
sheep were shipped to San Fran
cisco.
Tuesday five carloads of sheen
were shipped to Vallejo.
Wednesday thirteen carloads of
sheep were forwarded to San Fran
cisco.
Not so bad for shipment of one
week.

Oil Indications
Near Buckskin

Some interest is being shown ir
the'reported oil discovery in Spring
Gulch basin near Buckskin. The
following items relative to the find,
are taken from the Gazette:
H. o. Ballertein of Ludwig, Lyon
county, was one of the first to To-
cate ioil ground in Spring Gulch
basin, where other prospectors also
took up considerable acreage. He
says the report that oil has been
found in the vicinity of Buckskin is
unfounded, as no well have been
drilled in that locality, but that ar
effort is being made to secure q
Standard Oil rig and begin opera
tions before spring. The CORE
spondent continues:
Groupings of series of differ
ent strata, such as light shale, car
boniferous shale, red sandstone,
fossiliferous sandstone. clays and
the red-brown-to-black oil sand
strata can be seen all over the dis
trict.
The black sand stratum is soaked
with mixture of oil and water. 1t
is an easy matter to extract the oil
from the sand, also from the oil
overlaying the same"
S. II. johnson writes that he has
received some very good samples of
oil formation. including sands and
shells, flom the district. Mr.. John
son, who is operating in the Cali
fornia district, says that he will
shortly pay visit to the Smith
Valley field and make a thorough
inspection. The samples of shale he
obtained were particularly encour-

Af Chartz Writes On
Early Nevada | history
Declares that Log Cabin Built at Genoa in
1851 Was Not First House Built
In Nevada.

The statement, which has been
generally accepted as true, to the
effect'that the first house built in
Nevada YVES built in 1851, at Genoa,
which house was destroyed by fire
June 28. 1910, is not correct, says
Alf Chartz, writing in the Carson
News.
Brigham young and his peculiar
disciples and followers, left Nauvoo,
Illinois. in February, 1916. taking
with them their farming implements
cattle and food supplies. They
travelled as far as the west side of
the Missouri river. opposite what is
now Council Bluffs, and remained
there fsr some time, and called that
their winter quarters. Resuming
their voyage in the spring when the
grass became sufficient to feed their
animals, they. continued to Great
Salt Lake which they reached in
July, 1845, and there Brigham said:
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1914-01-02

of information that the emigrants
who settled in Western Nevada.
particularly in Douglas, Ormsby,
Lyon and Washoe counties, did not
like to leave their happy and invit-
ing homes, and that some returned
to Salt Lake, but the majority re-
mained and continued to cultivate
their properties independent of
Brigham's ukase. Those that obey
ed and returned were called good
Mormous, and those that remained
upon their holdings were called
Jack Mormons. We now call
them the name they have earned
and deserve, and that is Good
Citizens"
lie 1856 when Brigham Young
made his premptory demand for all
his followers to return to Salt Lake
there were many settlers in Washoe
Valley and in Glendale, below Reno,
both inviting places for settlement,
and nearly all of the returned,
obediently, leaving their power of
attorney for the disposition of their
holdings with man named John
Rose, one of their faith, who was
then operating a sawmill on Frank
town Creek, a few miles above
Franktown. Thus it is that the
name of John Rose appears in the
chai of title of nearly every piece
of property in the Washoe Valley
and the Glendale section.

woman was written on the back of
the picture. which was pressed
tightly to her breast. 1t was as
follows:
Daughter, for Gods sake come
home. have had months of agony
such as only a righteous person can

Mrs. Carstens formerly lived with
her husband in Oakland, and was
last seen about four months ago in
San Francisco.
Mrs. Chalmers came to Oakland
several months ago and engaged an
apartment at the Piedmont apart
ments, where she lived alone. She
has been suffering from a nervous
breakdown brought on by grief
over the disappearance of her
dauhgter, and had been under the
care of DIR. j. Hamilton Todd.

dent of Markleeville, left Tuesday
