LIVE STOCK TRAFFIC
STOPPED IN NEVADA
STEPS TAKEN TO KEEP FOOT
AND MOUTH DISEASE OUT
OF STATE.

On Nov 18th the governor, by
proclamation, declared quarantine
prohibiting the shipment of cattle,
sheep and swine, and the movement
of livestock cars into Nevada from
points east of the eastern boundaries
OF Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico, on account OF the out
break of foot and mouth disease
Last Monday he issued another
proclamation prohibiting the ship
ment of such livestock or the move,
ment of stock cars from points east
OF the eastern boundary of Nevada,
either into the state or from passing
through It, While other livestock
than cattle. sheep and swine are not
referred to in the proclamation, the
movement of stock cars into Nevada
being prohibited will absolutely pre-
vent all livestock traffic of every
kind from beyond the eastern border.
i This is necessary to prevent, If pos
sble, the spread of this disease into
Nevada herds 1t is hoped that these
drastic measures will not be needed
for long. that the danger may soon
abate and that after a brief time Ne
vada may be able to resume gradually
normal livestock shipments.

CYANIDE MILL FOR
The EASTERN STAR
IN GOLD CIRCLE
SAN FRANCISCO FIRM OF ENGl-
NEERs DESIGNING THE
NEW PLANT

Under various difficulties the gold
mines of the Gold Circle district OF
Nevada have been moving ahead
slowly, says the Deseret News. The
camp is still working quite force
of men. The most recent develop
ment is the designing of 50-ton
mill for the Eastern Star Mining
company. This is being done at San
Francisco
The crushing part of the mill will
consist of 7x10 Blake ore crusher,
five l,25O-pound stamps and one SKIS
tube mill for fine grinding. The con
tinuous decantation system will be
employed and zinc dust used instead
of zinc shavings for precipitation.
Graindg and foundation work will
commence as soon as the plans are
advanced far enough, which will be
within ten days, and at the same
time lumber for the mill building
will be hauled from the Western Pa
cific railroad at Redhouse. The ma.
chinery house requires from 80 to As
days to make delivery from the fac.
tories In the east
An internal combustion engine
viii be installed to furnish power for
the mill and viii be one OF the first
OF this type of engine to be installed
for direct power purposes in Nevada
camps.
Power can be developed at much
less cost than by the use of coal
for the generation of steam, there
being large saving in the most of
wagon transportation as well as the
original cost of the respective fuels
The company will install steam
generator TO provide electricity for
lighting the mill Il. Rheinhart, a
prominent merchant of Winnemucca
and Golconda, who has been a large
stakeholder in the company since its
organization, has been elected di-

The cut brings the price for No.

grades are affected, but not uniformly,
1t is said. The necessity of stimulat-
ing the demand for the Hawaiian pro-
duct, and the belief Of the company
Initiating the slash that this was the
way to attain this end, is understood
to be the explanation offered. Other
packers state that the reduction by
the Hawaiian Company works auto.
matically in reducing the price at
which all must sell.
That some of the packers will not
be able to put up fruit for the new
prices is the claim made in some
quarters. Others agree that the price
of $3.50 per dozen, or $500 per case,
is packing on very narrow margin.
ALI the packers hold considerable
CT last years pack still unsold, and in
view of the fact that the pack of this
season is expected to be some 400, 900
cases larger than last year, or a total
of about 100000 cases, the wisdom OF
the reduction in price is possibly ap.
parent. Several packers in speaking
about the matter this morning, haz.
arded the opinion that the desired re.
suit will be realized and that this sea.

moved with comparative ease, though

Of RESCUERS

The wireless section of Field Com
pany E, Signal Corps, established at
Ahuimanu, under command of Serge
ant Sullivan, in touch with the rescue
party on the ridge above that Is max
ing a final gallant attempt to ascel.
tain the fate of Private Walter V. PAR
ker, reports that the work of explora-
ton has been made extremely difficult
by cloud banks hanging low, over the
peaks of the Koolau- range. For a
short, time yesterday evening the
weather cleared, and a number Of
messages came through from the
party on the summit to the wireless
men below, saying that the search
was fairly begun and that Lieut.. Croc'
kett and the officers and men with
him, hoped to have. definite tidings of
the missing man within a few days.
Although it is only a trifie over a
mile in an air line from the spot
where the rescue party is at work to
the wireless men, it is a matter OF
some % miles from point to point by
the only route that man can travel.
Sergeant Sullivan was in communi-
cation last night with the wireless sta
tons at De kussy, Fort Shafter and
the Honolulu naval station. The two
signalmen with the search party are
equipped with flags and acetyIene Ian
terms, so that they can maintain com
munication both day and night.

The fight, says Judge Wilder, will

The arrangements for the fight are
now complete" said Judge Wilder.
"As am leaving for Washington
Thursday, will not be present. l

In order to preserve any rights he
may have on exceptions to the new
grand jury. Judge Wilder appeared in
the federal circuit court this morning

questions the right Of the grand jury

ers, Judge Wilder stated that he wish
ed to be in position to raise any
points as to its jurisdiction or right
TO act in the case.
That Judge Wilder is going to Wash
ington mainly to wage his fight
against Mr. McCarn was not denied by
him. He said he would take with him
the new district attorneys record in
civil cases. He mentioned the Phila-
delphia Breakwater Company, and the
George Thielen divorce matters. In
either case, he said, the action of
the district attorney is open to Sc,

Candidates for Mayor

Here you have the list of the can.

Fern, come from jhe Republican
ranks.
Other names are expected to be add

Mayor Fern says he hopes there are
50-he explains that the election will
be all the easier for him. There is
every prospect now of a lively fight
for the place, and one that will be
more interesting to watch than the
former mayoralty contests. -.
New elements enter into the fight,
such as the direct primary, which will
he put in operation then for the first
time. There is a good deal of uncer-
tainty expressed as to how the statute
win work out, some say party lines
viii have to be dropped entirely in
order to put the best men in office.
Politicians, when not busy discuss
ing the McCarn- Wilder incident and
its offerings for future amusement,
turn to figure out how Mayor Fern
is or is not TO get re-eiected. They
seem to be of the opinion that he has
a hard fight before him, but they give
it as doubtful IL he can be beaten. So
far no Democrat has come out as an
open candidate against him Once in
awhile the name of Lester Petrie,
chairman Of the roads committee OF
the board of supervisors. is heard as
his apponent: but those who say they
know, declare that Petrie will not be
candidate.

his honor, or rather broadened the
