The two kingdoms now hung on the

Fine Weather.

The recent rains in this locality
have started vegitatiCn from the soil
and soon wild desert flowers will be-

weather for the past few days has
been exceptionally fine, in striking
contrast with the reports from less
favored localities in the east. Thurs
day evening, however, the cerulean
SKINNER began to drip finally in
creasing into a steady downpour
which continued during the entire
night. In the lower sections of town
i'm the vicinity of C street, water

about four inches-a condition very
untavorable for loW-cut shoes but

The Billy Mack Mine.

James Weldon, who has been up at
the Billy Mack mine, about six miles
from Parker, since the first of No
yember doing development work,
came to town last Tuesday and gave
a glowing account of the outlook at
that property. This mine, which
comprises 13 claims, has an immense
ledge of which it is hard to tell its
exact size though about fifty feet of
it's width have already been explored.
The result of recent work has been
very gratifying, the ore at the 200
foot level averaging about 500 per
ton. This is a copper proposition
but the ore carries a high percent

Gonzales Discharged.
2'he preliminary examination OF
louis Gonzales of Wenden on a
charge of horse-stealing, preferred by
Dan Welch, a Mojave Indian, was
held before Justice of the Peace Col
Inns last Monday. The complainant
alleged that he had loaned a horse 10
the defendant to ride to Wenden and
that Gonzales thereafter sold the
animal to James Armbrust of Jerome,
instead of returning it to it's owner.
Several witnesses were examined and
it appeared from the testimony that
Welch had told Gonzales that he
might sell the animal for a stated
amount, in the event Of his finding
purchaser therefor At the conclu-
sion Of the hearing Justice Collins
dismissed the defendant on the
ground that the evidence was not
sufficient to sustain the charge

INSANE TURK WAS
LOATHE TO LEAVE
Reno Journal:

Reno Journal:
Chris FortmulT. who was recently
brought down from Elko and placed
in the asylum at Reno, caused the OF
ficers OF Elko county a great amount
OF worry as to what disposition was
TO be made of him, as they were not
convinced tina the man was really
insane, but seemed To be fond OF the
county Jail, fond of the jailor, sherin
and all OF the attaches of the bastile.
He went to the Jail and complained
of feeling strangely and asked the
officers to lock him up. His request
was complied with and. after watch,
ing his condition for some time, the
officers decided TO turn him loose and
TO place him aboard.
But the Turk wept bitterly at the
thought of separation from his cheer
full home in the Jail and at being part.
ed from his friendly j~ailors. He final
ly became Grenzied and threatened Ia
annihilate the train crew that would
take him away from his home and
friends.
Refused to Take Him.
At this stage of events, the con.
ductor on whose train the officers
were trying to transport the TurK,
recognized Chris and refused TO take
him as a passenger. stating that Il
few weeks before he had been Obliged
TO put the man oil The train on &c.
count of his being Il nuisance.
! Affection Wanes.
The la was taken back To the all
and seemed to be perfectly contcnted
to accompany the officers, but there
was a big surprise in store for him
when he was committed to the asy.
lum at Reno and informed that lie
would have to 20. Ii was then thai
the officers became convinced in thcir
own minds that the Turk was not as
insane as he seemed, for upon being
assured that there was plenty TO eat
at the state hospital, cheerful accom-
modations and a good bed To sleep in,
his affection for Elko and its Officers
waned perceptibly.
