YERINGTON TEAM THE STATE
CHAMPIONS.
Lyon County High School Girls Best
Basket Ball Players.

Rink Hall, in Yerington, was crowd
ed last Saturday night to witness the
best basket ball game of the season,
between the girls of the Tonopah
High School and the Lyon County
High School team. The Tonopah
girls arrived here Friday afternoon
and were entertained at the Brooks
Home Cottage, taken to the show at
the Rink Hall Friday night and given
an automible ride around the town
and valley Saturday Luncheon was
served by by Miss Howe and the
Senior girls at o'clock Saturday
afternoon in the High School Audi
torium
The game was called at 7:45 Satur-
lay evening with the following lineup:
Tonopah-Forwards. Gertrude Rip
bingham and Anna Perry; Centers.
Leah Ryan and Anna Critchfeld;
Guards, Isabelle Slavin and Elizabeth
Carey; Substitute. Marie Barrett;
Coach, Miss Bee Bray.
Yerington-Forwards, Adele Vail
lencour and Laurene Erway; Centers,
Kate Mcneil and Lora Lamberson;
Guards, Annabelle Carroll and Salome
Riley; Substitute Viola West
The game was the hottest and snap
piest one that has taken place this
season. Both teams were out to win
and they mixed up in lively manner,
the Tonopah girls making Yerington
work for every point scored. When
the score stood to in the first half
in favor of Yerington time was called
on a count of Miss Critchheld, one of
Tonopah's centers, being hurt by a
fall against bench alongside the hall.
She recovered shortly, however, and
the game proceeded At the end of
the first half the score stood to in
favor of Yerington. In the second
half the Tonopah girls pulled them
selves together and played the swift
est game the Yerington team had ever
been up against Yerington played
mainly to hold them down, and at
the end of the last half the score stood
IA to IL in Yerington's favor. There
was general cheering whenever good
play was made on either side. The
game was good clean one and close
enough to be very interesting. After
the game there was a social dance and
the Tonopah girls took their depart
ure for home on the midnight train.
Yerington now has the champion
team of the State. She has lost only
one game in the series this season and
that was to Carson. The Carson girls
want another game with Yerington,
but the Yerington team says the only
way they can get it is to go out and
defeat Tonopah; then Yerington will
play Carson and show them real
game of basket ball.

Piute Flat-The owners and loca-

PiuteFlat-The owners and loca-
tors of claims in the East Yerington
section, or old Pumpkin Hollow"
district, have changed the name of
that section to "Piute Flat" as they
did not like the old name of Pump
kin Hollow" The new name is ap-
propriate as the first ore ever found
there was by Piute Indian This
was about IS years ago and the In
dian took the ore to George Plummer
who found it Literally sprinkled with
gold. Mr. Plummer grubstaked the
Indian to do some work on the ground
and took the sample of ore to Bodie
for assay, and was surprised to re-
ceive an assay of $500 per ton in gold
and silver, gold largely predominating.
Evidently they did not find the rich
shoot from which the float came, and
work was suspended Afterward the
ground was located by A. c. Pratt,
who put up small 2stamp mill on
the line of the Tom Hall ditch The
property finally fell into the hands of
]. c. Kaufman and others, who, after
doing considerable work, abandoned
it Then, along came Albert Bovard,
who located the ground, and before
he had done the location work, sold
his interest to his father, Chas. Bo-
ward As a co-owner with Albert Bo-
ward was E. F. Morris, who still holds
his interest. EN- is an "old-timer,"

driving stage between the Barrett and

who found Jones, the old stage hold
up, who was killed near the old Simp-
son ranch years ago. Before this,
Billy Hemingway, his partner in Ida

Bannock war. En- found Billy's body
some six hours after death, and had
it decently inferred His life has been
one of frontier excitement. In 1898
he left Mason Valley for Alaska, go

Condensed Mining
News of District

what promises to be valuable prop
erty The workings are only short
distance from where the Indian found
the float IS years ago. He has good
shipping grade of ore and when lit
tie more development work has been
done will install hoist and begin TAX
ing out ore for shipment. The ore
now being taken from the shaft is
being sacked and seems to be richer
than the surface ore. Several very
fattering offers have been made by
mining men for this property but the
owners have confidence in it and intend
to develop it themselves and reap the
golden reward which appears to be
waiting
Silver State-Lee Bartholomew was
down from the Silver State Mining
and Leasing Company's property in
Lappan Canyon this week. He had
with him some samples of fine ore.
This section is about 40 miles south
of Yerington. On the Silver State
ground cross-cut tunnel is being
driven to hit the ledge which crops
on the surface. In distance of 135
feet the footwall of the ledge was en-
countered and penetrated for dis
tance of II feet, so far. There is a
nice showing of quartz and the tunnel
will be driven on through the vein,
which is thought to be 80 or 40 feet
in width. Samples of ore have been
sent away for test On tunnel No. 2,
some 700 feet up the hill and 800 feet
perpendicularly above No. 3 tunnel
the vein has been cut angularly. Here
there is an l8-inch pay seam that runs
about $l00 in gold; in fact an assay
received here this week showed it to
run Sol70 The tunnel is in about
500 feet. The ledge is big one and
is composed of andesite and rotten
granite ribs with small, rich pay
seams. The entire ledge is a low
grade milling proposition if it could be
handled on a large scale A small 2
stamp mill is in the ground and will
be started up about the middle of next
month on the highgrade ore. The
company is now getting the water
pipe line in shape for the summer use.
This line extends from Lappan Creek
to the mill and is some 1000 feet in
length. The prospects are good for
the company to take out nice little
bunch of money this summer, and also
develop a good big property.

Brisson Home Burned.

The home of Henry Brisson, about
halfway between here and Wabuska,
was burned to the ground last Sun
day afternoon about $50 o'clock. Mrs.
Brisson was away from home at the
time and Mr.. Brisson and a couple
of men were working on an automo-
bile not 20 feet from the house when
the flames were discovered. The build
ing was quite large two-story one
and flames burst from the inside
through doors and windows just at the
time the house was discovered to be
on fire. Some few things were saved
from the house, but not many There
was no way of extinguishing the blaze
and Mr.. Brisson and his men turned
their attention to saving the automo-
bile, buggy shed, hay stacks and pigs,
which were close by. They had
hard time doing this. The loss is
something over $1,000 with no insur-
ance. How the frse started is a mys-
terry. Mr.. Brisson had small house
at Wabuska which he loaded up and
brought to the ranch and he and Mrs.
Brisson are now housekeeping again,
but not in as comfortable quarters.
He exeptcs to rebuild soon.

MAN WHO ESCAPED FROM
JAIL RECAPTURED.
Caught Near the Newlands Ranch and
Brought Back to Yerington.

Ben Blair, alias George Peterson,
who escaped from the county Jail here
on Thursday night of last week, after
locking the deputy sheriff in the Jail,
was captured Tuesday near the old
Newlands ranch on the Carson river.
Deputy Sheriff Bulkeley, of Wabuska,
and Deputy Sheriff Thompson, of
Dayton, effected the capture. The
former had been on the trail of the
escape since short time after he left
his quarters. Blair had gone to the
railroad and crossed over near the old
lime quarry west of the smelter and
in that neighborhood had stopped and
rifled the cabin of Mr.. Carter, who
owns small ranch in the Churchill
Canyon country. Here he took a p
rifle and field glass, and continued
on his way to and down the Carson
river to a point where the deputies
found him. He had no ammunition
for the rifle he stole or he might have
used the gun. The things stolen were
found on him as were also the KEYS
he took from the Jail door upon leav-
ing 1t is imagined that Blair, or
Peterson. is wanted somewhere for
an offence more serious than the one
he was first arrested on. or he would
not have made the attempt to get
away. 1t will be remembered that he
was first arrested for stealing a sad
die and some other things on the Mil
ler ranch, in the lower end of the val
ley. He made his getaway as far as
Deeth, Nevada, where he was appre-
hended and brought back to Yering-
ton. He will now have to face sew
eral charges The old one first. then
a charge of Jail breaking and possibly
a charge of burglary for breaking into
and robbing the Carter place He is
evidently about due to spend several
wears in the State penitentiary at
Carson.

Present Interesting Farce-Comedy
and Debate on Tolls Question.

The Literary Society of the Lyon
County High School held a very in
terest'ng session yesterday afternoon
at the High School Auditorium One
of the features of the program was
farce entitled "The Out-of-Sorts
Family" written by Miss Muriel Ber-
nard, and acted entirely under Miss
Bernard's direction. The indefatigable
energy as we'll as sprightly talent of
the author was shown in every scene
and in all the characters. The caste
was as follows:
Mr.. Bumblewick Dan Mcleod
Mrs. Bumblewick Miss c. Mcneil
Agnes bumblewick. Miss L. Erway
Virginia younger sister, .........
Miss A. Snyder

John (the gardener) Frank Spring

.............W Walter Whitacre
Harry Ga younger brother) ........
........Ca Carlton Hironymous
The various characters were all well
taken and deserve much credit for
their ease and naturalness
The debate on the Panama tolls
question was ably presented by Mr.
Chambers and Mr.. Ricksecker. As
no judges were appointed, the subject
was left still an open question.
The presence of visitors was an
added spur to the members of the
Literary Society to continue its good
work, and it is to be hoped that it
will merit more and more the interest
of outsiders.

The Odd Fellows band is practic-

band boys are preparing to appear in
the near future in monster minstrel
entertainment and give their first con-
cert. They have an excellent orches-
ira, which will help with the enter
tainment considerably, and the band
boys will demonstrate that the band
is something for the Lodge and the
town to be proud of. Few towns or
little cities will have better band or
orchestra.

His Reward.

No matter how his heart was wrung
He kept a smile of cheer;
He never had a spfteful tongue;
His conscience, too. was clear
He praised whenever praise was earned,
His tones were never sad:
He bravely tried, where'er he turned,
To help men TO be glad
Year in, year out, he did his besE
To lessen spite and hate.
With quenchless courage In his breast.
He fought with stubborn Fate.
He labored to increase delight,
Though sorely striker oft;
Men sale he lacked the nerve to fight,
And women called him soft.
