MOVE TO ESTAB-
LISH RACE CIRCUIT

A movement is on foot in the state,
which seems to me steadily gaining
ground, to bring before the next legis-
lsture the question of length of resi-
dence required to gain citizenship in
the state; repeating that portion of
the present gambling law relating to
poker and other "short card' games
legalizing horse racing ana the selling
of Paris mutuals on results.
1t is urged by those interested in
the proposed legislation that the anti
gambling and "divorce' laws have
taken thousands of dollars from
the business men of the state, as well
as large sums in license moneys, the
deficit falling on the taxpayers, with
out any substantial equivalent. 1t is
claimed that gambling is going on all
over the state, with practically as
much money as ever changing hands,
the only difference being that the
state receives no revenue from the
games.
It is understood that in case horse
racing and selling of mutuals is legal
ized, that California horsemen will at
once build track at Las Vegas,
which will be completed in time
to hold 100-day meeting early
in the spring Later in the season, it
is said, tracks will be established be
tween Goldfield and Tonopah and at
Carson City Reno, Lovelock, Winnie
mueca and Elko and a regular racing
circuit established It is claimed
that this would attract hundreds of
thousands of Panama exposition Wis
itors to the state next year, who will
srend their money, observe the state s
natural resources and give Nevada a
greater advertisement than could be
accomplished in the ordinary way by
the expenditure of years of time and
enormous sums of money.
Whatever may be individual opin-
ion as to the merits of the proposed
legislation, ii is an admitted fact that
citizens of the state are groaning un-
der present taxation and are willing
to try anything within reason to find
relief

BEEswAx DEPOSIT DIsCov-
Erred IN CHURCHILL COUNTY

A. b. Binkley and Fred Waidely
are the undisputed owners of one of
the most unusual deposits in this
land where natural wonders abound.
Recently they happened upon hill
near the Binkley premises south of
Fallen that is in realty a hill of wax,
left there apparently by wild bees,
which must have been there in times
past in great numbers or over a long
period of time. for it is estimated that
tons upon tons of the wax lies in the
hill
Samples have been on exhibit in
Fallon and are said to indicate the
deposit one of real commercial value
and in due course of time shipments
viii be made t. outside firms handlinr

twilight fade into the purple and pink
of dusk that each evening mantles
the brown landscape of this glorious
land, and gazed with eontentment as
the bee ceased his labors for the day
and the elk and the deer frolieked in
the moonlight that is now reflected
bv a thousand mirrors. artificial wa
