ROCKLAND POWER
LINE COMPLETED
AND OPERATING

The extension of the Trucker River
Company's power line from ripe
Grove to Rockand was completed on
the 18th inst and the men who con
structed it came down from that sec.
tion and left for their homes-mostly
in Virginia City. Dwight Leavitt,
who superintened the construction,
returned to his home in Virginia CITY
yesterday The line is over some
pretty rough country but it has been
substantially installed. The Rock
land Co. expects to De ready to Deg.n
operations on quite an extensive scale
about the first of the year The old
mill on the property has been remod-
eied some and the new cyanide plant
is nearing completion This latter is
below the mill and the system of cyan
iding will be a continuous one, the
tailings passing directly from the rolls
in the mill to the cyanide tanks. Ma
chinery and lumber is being received
now for the completion of the entire
plant. Everything in the shape of
machinery about the mine and plant
will be operated by electricity, which
will also be used for lighting purposes.
For year or more past the company
has been developing the mine and it
is estimated that ore enough has been
blocked out in sufficient quantity to
keep the lOO-ton plant in operation
for two years or more. The ore will
average somewhere around $40 or $l2
in gold values, while here and there
in the property are streaks of high
grade. The company is very confident
of the success of its calculations and
the showngs are certainly favorable
for making a nice lot of money in
a legitimate mining venture.

HAND BURNED.

A. A. Cooper had his right hand
pretty badly burned Wednesday night
while coming from Dayton to Yering-
ton by auto with Attorney Warren
Hauser. Ten or twelve miles out of
Yerington something went wrong
with the machine and Cooper was re-
pairing it. He had skinned his
knuckles and wound a bandage about
his hand and this cloth had become
saturated with gasoline In some man
rer the cloth caught fire and before
Cooper could get it off his hand was
pretty badly burned He and Mr..
Hauser walked into Yerington and
DR.. Brown attended to the injury at
once. Cooper's hand may be SCARED
up some when it heals but there will
be no permanent injury it is thought.

BOYLEE EXPLANATION
REGARDING NEW PRISON
CONTROVERTED BY LAW

81 killed the prison-with my little
hatchet killed the prison." shouts
Boyle. But Boyle drew plans for a
$355,O00 prison when the law only
provided that 100000 should be ex-
pended.
Mr.. Boyle became State Engineer
on March TO- 1910, by appointment of
Acting Governor Dickerson, succeed
ing Frank r. Nicholas.
Boyle further says in his speech:
THE Legislature $1,000 made an ap-
preparation for the construction of a
new prison and under the act it was
provided that the State Engineer
should draw the plans and specifca-
tions and be the superintendent and
architect"
Boyle refused to accept the plans
of Nicholas, which he estimated would
make the prison cost from $500,000
to $750,000 to erect and
The permission was granted me fl
nally to proceed to draft plans in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
law. | finally submitted to the Board
a set of plans calling for the expendi-
ture of $355,0O0; but knowing that
there was some irregularity in grant
ing the steel contract, | withheld my
approval, knowing that a new Board
was coming into Office and that it
would act fairly with the people of the
State. The first act | committed after
Governor Oddie took office was to lay

tract was let. Mr. Boyle's approval

WOODBURY.. JR.,
AND PITTMAN
AT OWL BALL.

United States District Attorney
VIM. Woodburn. r., and Junior Sena
tor Pittman addressed small audi
ence at Owl Hall on Wednesday ev-
cning of this week The gentlemen
arrived rather late by auto rom fal-
lon, and Mr. Pittman was somewhat
indisposed However, Mr.. Woodburn
spoke first and gave the Senator lit
tie longer time to recuperate before
delivering his address. The conten-
ton of both gentlemen was to the Ell
feet that Mr.. Newlands should be re
turned to the United States Senate
from Nevada. Mr.. Woodburn, OF
course, did not refer to the speech
made by his father while he was run
ming against Mr.. Newlands III 1892,
but rehashed the old argument that
Newlands was a national charcter, a
great irrigationIst, etc, etc. lie spokf
< for the balance OF the Democratic
ticket and here there were faint ex-
plosions of applause now and then.
Mr.. Pittman, who the Reno Journal
proprietor says, was looked upon as
merely an adventure" by Mr. New
lands six years ago, made pretty
good spiel, considering the conditions.
1t was to the effect that the present
administration was the greatest thing
that ever happened to the country. and
that it must be supported and that
Newlands must be sent back to Wash
ington to help support it. In fact,
he tried to impress upon the audience
the fact that the administration would
go to pot if Newlands was not re
elected He did not mention the fact
that the Democrats had promised two
years ago, TO cheaper the cost OF llv-
ing, but had practically made IT high
er, beside bringing about conditions
where the laboring man could not
receive as much for his labor, could
not labor as many days in the week,
and thousands of them losing their
Jobs altogether Neither did Mr. Pitt
man tell us why he had voted to close
the Fallon sugar factory. The sheep
men OF this section were conspicuous
by their absence in the audience and
Pittman had no apology to make for
having stated in Washington that the
sheep men OF Nevada were a bunch
OF ignorant Basques and Portuguese.
Ii YOU think Pittman did not make
this statement come to his Office and
we will show you a night letter sent
from Washington on the sd day OF
June, 1913. This letter was in answer
to a communication sent to Pittman
from c. A. Stout, of Reno. In it Pitt
man denies that there are 1000 men in
Nevada engaged in the sheep business
and winds up by saying "a majority OF
them are admittedly sheep herders
of a foreign nationality of the lowest
type" After the show the Senator
and his friends proceeded to irrigate
(the inner mani and the festivities
continuped until the small hours OF
the next morning when the Senator
again became "indisposed' and was
assisted to his room We have some
times tried to g't by on this "indis-
posed" and headache" stuff ourself
but our friends have brutally told us
we were drunk

NEVADA PROGRESSIVE MINE

Mr.. c. NJ. Woodbridge, President Of

Mr.. Parr, Superintendent OF the prop

looking fine. He is driving tunnel
and sinking two shafts, and this work
is being done on three separate veins,
each one of which is a contact vein
Mr.. Woodbridge says that a report
has gone out that the Woodbridges
OF Chicago, were the promoters OF the
Smith Valley mine He desires it to
be known that the Woodbridge Bros.
were never interested in the promo
ton of the Smith Valley, but that {.

in any way connected with or respon-

COPPER SITUATION
REVIEWED BY
BUTTE PAPER.

The great copper industry has prac-
tically been killed by the European
war Butte City, Mont, being one Of
the great centers of copper production
in this country, is hard hit by he col
lapse of the market and the i'll effects
are being felt there as we'll as in Ne
vada. The Butte Miner, in analyzing
the situation, gives the following
causes of the present depression in
that industry
'Not pound of copper metal clear
ed American ports for shipment direct
to Germany in September, according
to statistics compiled by the custom
house, and not a pound of the red
metal was shipped direct to either
Belgium or Austria in the same per-
iod. This is particularly interesting
as showing the effects of the present
struggle, which now involves nearly
all of Europe, upon the American cop
per industry.
THAT Germany. ordinarily, is the
largest foreign consumer of American
copper may be seen from the fact that
for the first seven months of the cur
rent year the total shipments direct
to that country amounted o lo3,934,-
720 pounds, or on an average OF
nearly 100000 pounds per month.
Since the breaking out of hostilities
abroad only 100000 pounds of cop
per cleared American ports direct for
Germany and that early in August
before the interruption in transatlan-
tic transportation took place Austria
and Belgium use considerably less of
the red metal than Germany, but
, nevertheless the shutting off of these
avenues of consumption has resulted
in the cutting down of exports from
the United States of about As per
cent
However, shipments to Holland
and, incidentally, to Germany are now
difficult, but according to trade au-
thorities, Germany is not in dire need
of the red metal at the present time.
These authorities say that just prior
to the breaking out of hostilities the
| German government was successful IN
gathering supply OF copper suf-
fcient to meet its military require
ments for year What Germany will
do when its present supply is exhaust
| ed is a matter of conjecture The
largest copper producer in Europe is
the Rio Tinto company, limited, but
owing to the difficulty in making
shipments to the continent this COM
pany has been obliged to curtail op-
erations.
"ln September the aggregate ship
ments from this side to Europe
amounted to approximately 43,0OO,OOO
pounds. OF this amount the United
Kingdom secured, in round numbers,
100000 pounds, France about D.,
100000 pounds, Italy about 2,25O,OOO
pounds Consignments last month to
Holland totaled l2,500,0O0 pounds, bat
it is safe to say that large portion
of this amount was diverted to Eng
lish ports"

SEES MARKS OF DEGENERACY
In the Opinion of Sir Gilbert Parker
the Modern Race of Man Is Los

The astonishing question of Sir Gil

thinks our life may have been made
so mechanically easy that some of
our senses are losing their vitality
and usefulness.
Motoring might be instanced by
some as evidence that the acuteness
Of seeing and hearing is on the in
