TEST TO BE MADE
OF NEVADA DIVORCE LAW.

The validity of the Nevada dl-
vorce law now in effect. requiring
the actual residence by the plainti1
of at least one year in the state, Is to
be tested in the district court oil
Washoe county, which has power In
the premises, according to thte at
torneys for the plaintiff in the test
case. to pass upon the constitutionali-
ty of the act.
The action upon which the on
stitutionality of the law will be pass
ed on was brought by Dodge & Barry,
and the papers were filed with the
county clerk.
Pearl E. Culpen is the plaintiff.
She has been a resident of Reno for
eight months. but alleges only SIX
months in the complaint. The de-
PENDANT is Lee F. Culpin.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
both plaintiff and defendant We're
residents of Lassen county, Cali
fornia. in March 1912, when the de-
PENDANT is alleged to have committed
a statutory offense emitting plain
tiff to dissolution of the marriage
bonds.
Suit for divorce was instituted in
December. when plaintiff had COM
pleted her six months residence and
before the new law went into effect
Inasmuch as she determined to be-
come a permanent resident of Reno
and the time was of no material mat
ter to her, she consented TO have the
suit withdrawn and renewed after
the IL months law became effective.
In ease the divorce is granted and
appeal is not taken to the supreme
court and the decision there reversed,
the new law, according to the at
torneys for the plaintiff, will become

LOW CANDLE POWER
HEADLIGHTS WIN TEST.

Low candle power nitrogen head
lights won out in the comparative
test with high power arc light as the
closing feature of the Safety First
conference Tuesday night. says the
Reno Gazette. The nitrogen head
light, less power and much less
glare. picked up objects from one
and fourth-fifths to two and a half
times as far as the arc lamps, and at
the close of the test. trainmen who
took the lead in conducting them
asked the Southern Pacific manage
ment TO install nitrogen headlights
instead of high power arc lamps now
used.
Nevada's law requires a 1900
candle power headlight. and from
present indications, the trainmen
who secured its passage will probab-
" ask its repeal at the next session of
the legislature SO that the smaller,
but more efficient lamp, may be in
troduced in its place.
Tests were made at a point near
Laughton's Springs and lasted
from 9 until Il o'clock. Among the
representatives of the trainmen who
conducted the tests were Legislative
Agent Bishop. of California; o.
Kerne, chairman of the grievance
committees; W. E. Wallace, member
of the Nevada Industrial Insurance
commission and legislative represen-
tative in Nevada, and Frank Ingram
of Sparks, who, as secretary of the

GIVES PROMISE OF
RICH CINNIBAR MINES.

Neph Adamson and g. W. Leighton
are in town, fWinnemucca.) from the
property of the Goldbanks Quick
silver Mines company. situated in
Pleasant valley and about thirty
five miles south of Ninnemueea.
This estate has every appearance of
being one of the greatest cinnabar
mines in the world, says the Hum
boldt Star of Winnemucca. The
present development work has dis
closed the fact that the %cinnabar ores
cover an area 1000 feet wide and g.
800 feet in length-a veritable
mountain of quicksilver ore. The
company has just had completed a
twelve-ton retort furnace to handle
the ore already developed and as de-
velopment work progresses the COM
pany expects to install other fur
naees to reduce the immense tonnage
of ore that a deposit of such magni-
tude is capable of producing when
fully developed. The furnace is now
fired up and drying out preparatory
TO permanent operations.
A car gravity tramway from the
workings to the furnace is also about
completed. The carpenters and help
ers are also finishing the buildings
at the mine and furnace. A large
trestle and ore bin is about ready for
use. A three-mile pipe line is now
supplying the camp with sufficient
water for all purposes.
The company which is under the
general management of w. G.
Adamson, a we'll known local mining
engineer. expects to have the plant in
operation in a very short time. On
account of the bad condition of the
roads the company is meeting with
some difficulty in having supplies
hauled to the camp.

SNOW IL PLENTY
At LAKE TAHOE.

With no place to put the SNOW be-
ing shoveled off the roofs, the snow
being up to the ives of their houses,
those wintering around Lake Tahoe
are hard taxed to dispose of 1t, ac-
cording to letters received in Reno,
says the Gazette. Arthur Smith,
observer at the Nevada experiment
station, writes that the company
owning Tahoe Tavern has put every
available man at work shoyeling
snow from the roof, even calling in
wood choppers for that purpose.
Some owners of cottages on the lake
fear that the weight of snow may
crush their summer homes and have
sent urgent messages to send men to
shovel them off If possible.
DR.. Church has received three let
ters at once. the first to come
through in a week. These relate
many tales of serious difficulties In
stormy weather, one of the greatest
OF which has been the transportation
of a small express shipment of
meteorological instruments from
Truckee to Tahoe City.
Tuesday, according to a telephone
message. the making of sn%owshoes
for horses was being considered, as it
had been found impossible to break
q road through. 1t is the custom to
keep a team between Truckee and
Tahoe City to break the road through
either way. but the continued storm
has upset all calculations, recalling
q time some years ago when men
rode horses down through the True
kee river in midwinter in order to
save the animals from starvation.
Since December Il, the letter to
DR.. Church says. and up to January
%. the snowfall at Tahoe City was
145.75 inches, equal to 1928 inches
of water. while the LAKE had filled up
about is feet. From January 20 to
January 23 the snowfall was 6.5
inches, mixed with rain and sleet and
equal to 3.65 inches of water. Had
the snow been all dry, Tahoe City
would have had to communicate by
tunnel like a prairie dog village Mr..
Smith writes. On January % the
snow on the ground along one of the
courses which are measured averag-
ed 62.3 inches deep, equal to over
1885 inches of water. On another
course 63.62 inches of snow was
