NAZIMOVA COMING SOON.

bella Donna" the play, has been
made out of Bella Donna, the novel,
which was one of the most interesting
of those published under Robert HIGH
ems signature, little over three years
ago by James Bernhard Pagan and is
being presented for a second season
by that distinguished Russian actress,
Madame Nazimova. The play is in
four. acts, three of which are laid in
Egypt, and in his adaptation, Mr.. Fa-
gan is said to have preserved both
the Kitchens atmosphere as well as
the novelist's story. The name part
offers Nazimova remarkable opportu-
mites of which she is said to take the
utmost advantage and to bring out the
latent wickedness in this very wicked
character, so successfully that her por-
trayal of the role ranks as a wonder
full piece of mosaic acting. Supported
by her New York company of players,
including Charles Bryant, Herbert
Percy, Robert Whitworth, Edward
Fielding, Claus Bogel, A. Romano Cal
lender, who play the important parts
and were with her during her engage
ment at the Empire Theatre, Charles
Frohman will present Nazimova in
her latest and greatest success, Bella
Donna" at the Tulane Theatre for a
weeks engagement, beginning Mon
day, February 9.

BRINGING A BIG SHIP
INTO NEW YORK HARBOR

When the new Cunarrd liner, the
9Ol-foot Apuitania, one of the largest
and finest ships in the world, finished
its maiden trip across the Atlantic
from Liverpool with 1912 passengers
oa board, June 5, 1914, it was requir-
ed, before being allowed to enter New
York harbor and tie up at its dock, to
undergo the same rigid quarantine and
customs inspections and to follow ex-
actlv the same procedure as If 1T had
been the most insignificant tramp
steamer. The formalities connected
with getting into port, OF which the
case Of the Aquitana ID only an illus
tration on a large scale, are described
in a handsomely illustrated article ap-
pearinp in the August Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The work is handl-
ed by men who are highly trained and
it is ordinarily carried out in an as
tonishingly short time, even with the
biggest ships, considering the amount
of work that is done.
Every ship coming into New York
harbor from foreign port must lie
to or anchor off the quarantine sta
ton situated ON Staten island just
inside the limits of the lower bay, and
must remain III tudt Pooittvh "htii ~
has been inspected and given clean
bill of health by the health officer of
the port. One of the rules of the har-
Dor is that the quarantine boat come
up to an incoming vessel on the port
side. A careful examination is made
b. the quarantine officers to discover
any cases of contagious disease, and
| if any are discovered, the infected
passengers, as well as all those who
have been exposed, are taken to the
detention hospital on Hoffman's isl
and. in the lower bay, while the ship
itself may be held in quarantine for
everal days or even weeks, If ehol-
IRA, yellow fever or other epidemic
diseases are discovered. Until this
examination is finished no person 9th
er than the health officers is allowed
to board or leave the vessel, the re-
strietion applying even to the customs
officers.
The last incident before docking il
the arrival of the postoffice boat, which
meets the incoming ship as it enters
the Hudson river, takes off all the
frst-class mail and rushes IL to tbs
postofice In New York city. The mai
transfer is not allowed to interfere IN
any way with the progress of the ship
as the postoffiee boat Is simply taken
in tow and the transfer is made as the
| ship steams up the river.

PICK WINNER FOR
L|EUT.-COY[RNOR

With the announcement that Her
bert G. Humphrey would be candi-
date for lieutenant-governor of Neva-
ia, seeking the nomination on the
Republican ticket, those who imagin-
ed that any important Office in the
state was to be allowed to go by de-
fault by any of the big parties realiz-
ed that they had another guess COM
ing, says the Gazette.
Mr. Humphreys friends have been
after him for some time to become a
candidate for this nomination, but it
was willing to make an announce
ment. Today he agreed to run for the
place.
OF course the news created stir.
That was to be expected. The Demo
Gratis from time to time have said
they would have a man here or a man
there as candidate for second high
est office in the state, but they have
been waiting, more or less impatient
ly. until the Republican candidates
should be known. When it was given
out that Mr.. Humphrey would run on
the Republican side, there was much
conferring, and re-adjustment of
several candidates in the opposition
ranks is now likely.
Herbert g. Humphrey is known
throughout the state, having been a
resident Of N vada for quarter of
century and during that time he has
been identified with all the varied in
terests of the commonwealth. He has
always been an unswerving Repub-
lican but has never held political
Office and has never sought it. He is
heavily interested in livestock, bank
ing, real estate and commercial enter
prises and his associates are among
the largest employers of labor in the
state.
eff nominated and elected" he
said this morning in making his an
nouncement, "I will devote all my at
tention to the states affairs" He
added that he would give to Nevada
the same concentrated effort that he
had heretofore given to his personal
business.

JUDGE CURLFR FOR
SUPREME BENCH

In this issue of the Silver State ap-
pears the announcement of Judge b.
Z. Curler, of Elko county, as a Re-
publican candidate at the September
primary for Justice of the Supreme
Court. Judge Curler is well known
throughout the state as jurist of
strict integrity and great ability, and
will prove valuable addition to the
Supreme Bench.
Judge Curler is a native son of Ne
vada, having been born in Churchill
county forty-eight years ago. He has
lived in the state all his life except
ing the few years that he was in Cali
fornia completing his education. He
was district attorney of sEsmeralda
county during the years 1889 and
1890, also district attorney of Washoe
county during the years 1898 and
1894 He held the Office of district
judge of the Second Judicial District
of the state of Nevada, which then
comprised the counties of Washoe and
Churchill, for eight years, from 1899
to 1907 After retiring from the
bench he took up the practice of law
in Reno, being associated with Sardis
Summerfeld.
About three years ago Judge Curler
moved to the eastern part of the
state, where he has been practicing
his profession since, his home for
the past two years being in Elko.

ORfANA JURY BAFFIfD
By IOyFlO(K MYSTERY

For the past fifty years or more the
two burning questions in that portion
of the United States lying east of the
Missouri river have beent Who struck
Billy Pattersons'' and "Who killed
Cock Robing' To these third query
will be added, which will be of ma
tion-wIde import: "Who broke the
Jail windowsg''
The question originates in Love-
lock. Last week Officer Opperman,
noticing a town official in what he
considered state of intoxication,
placed him in the town Jail to sober
up. When he went around the next
morning to see how his patient was
progressing, he found that every pane
O.. glass in the bastile had been
broken during the night.
Officer Opperman, believing that the
time had arrived when patience ceases
to be a virtue, went over to Judge
Harve McAdams, at Oreana, and
swore to complaint, charging the al
legged inebriate with malicious de-
struction of property.
Judge Robins was sent for at Win
HtHiuccd, pVst ndstc, W dVt loi uO-
fendant, and when the case was call
ed demanded jury trial. As there
were not enough men in Oreana ON
that day to make up jury, it was
secured from Rochester. Rev. ]. HI.
McAllen was chosen foreman, for the
probable reason that, being unac-
quainted with the taste and effect of
liquor. he would prove impartial.
After the case was submitted, the
jury held short consultation, when
verdict of not guilty was returned.
However, the jury did not give an
opinion as to who or what smashed
the Jail windows, and as there was no
earthquake or other unusual disturb
ance on that night, it is likely that
the identity of the perpetrator of the
damage will always remain a mystery.

The funeral of the late Desire Pas
cal, who passed away Friday evening
was held at the family residence,
Fourth and Baud streets, Sunday af-
ternoon, at o'clock. 1t was one of
the largest gatherings of the kind
ever held in Humboldt county. Seats
had been provided ON the lawn for
friends, but they proved inadequate
to hold those present, with the result
that half of those present remained
standing during the exercises.
Father p. f. Meehan, of st. Paul's
church, officiated, and in addition to
the usual Catholic service, paid q
high tribute to the many sterling
qualities Of deceased. Music for the
occasion was furnished by a choir
composed of Mrs. p. b. Roberts, Mrs.
Charles Nofsinger, Miss Mary Lang
with. Miss Beatrice Langwith, Pres
ton Oneal, with Miss May Staunton,
organist.
The handsome casket was banked
with folwers from friends and was
followed to the cemetery by process
sion of thirty autos.
The pallbearers were G. w. Sum
merfeld, w. s. Bonui6eld, A. r..
Trousdale, p. A. Pinson, W. j. Bell

TEST ASSAYS
FROM HAYSTACK

"Haystack is progressing very
favorably n development and shows
the proof that goes with the making
of a safe mining venture,' remarked
William Strong, who came from
there last evening. "The district is
favored with good situation and offers
splendid advantages for development.
My conclusions are both observa
tion and systematic tests. | exam
ined some of the more developed
properties and exposed veins. j
took seventeen samples and not one
failed to respond in values. The sam
pies were taken as mine examina-
tion test and the response is most as
surfing. Not a picked sample is in the
lot. The returns are expressive Of
the district and fully indicate the i'm
portance of the camp. The samples
are as follows, per ton: $16.9S, $12.59,
$11.2s, 1854, $8S.14, $41.25, $171.15,
1915, $21.34, $41.49, $12.04, 1884,
$2l.72, $67.17, Stag, 1854.
BY sorting the better ore from the
average it will make a shipping
product, but as a whole the district
has the finest and best sort of mill
ing ore. The gold is free, easily re-
covered and of such grade as to make
a profitable ore to handle.
"Haystack has a future and will
make money for those who will de-
vote themselves to its meritorious
features and develop same. At the
present there is no sign other than the
good side of the district and | have
faith that deeper development will
prove its greater worth

CLOUDBURST AT
RYFPATCn ON 18TH
Rye Patch, New, July 20, 191

Rye Patch, New, July 20, 1914.
Editor Silver State:
On the 18th inst, in the Humboldt
mountains south of Rye Patch, there
was heavy rainstorm and cloud
burst that did considerable damage.
The few here will remember to the
end of recollection the roar, crash
and turbulence as the great sheet of
water, six feet high, poured down the
mountain side, through gulches ou.
into the plain. 1t hurled and rolled
along thousands of tons of rock as it
pursued its course with terrific force
There were two floods, one at p.
m, and the other at 8 p. m. The later
one was the heaviest, carrying loose
rock, brush and mud before it with
all the crashing force of it's mighty
power.
/ was camped that night in the trail
of the water. The rush came quick
ly so as to catch my mule team, kill
ing one and hurling il miles down the
gulch. 1t swept my tent and belong
ings away, mostly buried beneath mud
and debris. Ny cooking utensils, with
a pot of beans, landed a quarter of a
mile below the tent station on hill
side. / am only alive because rush
ed, with the first crash, to slight ele
walton behind a small tree, which
broke the force of the water and di-
vided the stream, allowing me life s
protection.
That night, with its Numedian
darkness and hurting dangers, cannot
be fully imagined-even to realize ii
taxes tn emind 3 conception.

NEVADA IN PROS.
Porous CONDITION

That Nevada is looking better and
is showing m re evidences Of pros
perity than ever was stated in yester-
days Gazette by J. M. Fulton, assist
and general freight and passenger
traffic manager for the Southern Pa
cific company, who returned recently
from trips to Goldfeld and Tonopah
and to the eastern part of the state.
"One Of the evidences of prosperi-
ty, particularly in the eastern part (
the state" said Mr.. Fulton, els the
fact that more lumber than ever be-
fore is being purchased. This il be-
ing used not only for tn, homes Of
new settlers, of which there are many,
but also for improvements to homes
already built and for new homes for
old timers.
Livestock in the state is in fine
shape and never better. The percent
age of lambs this year is above the
average, more than offsetting the fact
that there are fewer stock sheep.
There win be 10000 to 100000 head
of cattle shipped to market this sea-
son. Hay is plentiful this year and
will be low, in price, it is true, but
need for it may arise.
"In mining equally good conditions
are noted. Tonopah, am informed,
has more ore blocked out now than
at any period in its history. Roches-
ter is to have mill and will continue
to ship much ore until il is built.
Seven Troughs is giv;ng q good &C
count of itself and many other dis
tricts are looking good. The general
outlook in the state is excellent. -
