The Belmonts made a big gain last
night in the District League, winning
three straight from the Jeds. the lead
ers. Just to make good the predictions
that they were going to give the Jeds
and Royals the battle of their lives to
hold the first and second places, re-
spectively. they threw a big scare into
both camps. The teams stood in this
way before the games of yesterday:

This evens up the race between the
three clubs considerably, and probably
will cause one of the greatest finishes
ever seen in one of the big circuits.
Only two games separate the Belmonts
from the Jeds, and they can be made up
in single match, unless the Jeds bowl
whole lot better than they did last
night. The Jeds did not reach the 500
figure in either of their first two games,
the Belmonts having quite a margin in
each The score of the last contest
was very close, though, the Belmonts
winning by joS to 52J.

CLAIM FOOT AND MOUTH
DISEASE UNDER CONTROL

Practical eradication of the livestock
foot and mouth scourge in the United
States has been announced by the De
partment Of Agriculture. Officers in
charge of the campaign waged against
the disease during the last six months
say that with the exception of herd
of animals near Syracuse, N. Y, which
had been designated for slaughter,
telegraphic reports from inspectors
throughout the country showed the dis
ease had been, to the best of their
knowledge, completely wiped out.
Figures compiled by the department
show that l24, l4l animals have been
slaughtered because of the foot and
mouth infection from the time of the
outbreak in October to March 25 last.
Only a few infected herds have been
reported since March 25 and it was
said all these had been slaughtered.
Concerning the probability of future
trouble from the disease statement
by the department says:
" Although all the infected animals
have been killed and buried, it is by
no means certain that all possible
methods of conveying the infection
have been destroyed. 1t is considered
inevitable, therefore, that more ami
mails win be stricken, but these should
be only sporadic cases, which, II
promptly reported, can be taken care
Of in time to prevent any further Sc
rious spreading of the disease

DEEDS POSTOFFlCE
SITE TO UNCLE Sam

This afternoon J. Sheehan decided to
the United State lots Z, s, and the
southeasterly 30 feet of 8, in block
Q, Town of Winnemucca. The consid-
Grafton was $4,000. The land will be
used for the new postoffice site.
The papers were drawn by George
A. Bartlett, assistant United States
attorney, who came to Winnemucca
this morning for the purpose of clos
ing the deal.
The site has a frontage of 130 feet
on Melarkey and 125 feet on Fourth
street. Lots and 3 were formerly
owned by J. A. Cochran and the frae-
tional part of lot 9 by James Sloan
The government required bond
from the grantor, which stIpulates
that the buildings on the property Will
be removed within sixty days from the
time of receiving written notice so to
do
While there is no certainty as to
when work on the new postoffice will
be commenced, it is believed that it
win be some time during the present
building season.
Mr.. Bartlett returned to Carson on
Southern Pacific No. 10 this afternoon.

WILL RESUME SHIPPING
FROM PALISADE MINE

Shipments are to start from the I'm
ion Mines company's property located
in Eureka county, Nevada, 35 miles
south of Palisade, about April Is, ac-
cording to Senator l.. r. Thatcher,
from Eureka county, who left Salt
Lake yesterday, after having purchas-
ed carload of general mining equip
ment for the property, of which he is
general manager, says the Salt Lake
Tribune.
In the neighborhood of 5000 tons of
orc has been broken and stored since
the outbreak of the European war. 1t
will net the company between SIS and
$27 to the ton. Some years ago the
property, which consists of IL mining
claims located three claims wide and
four deep along the contact between
the porphyry and the limestone, pro-
duced more then 100000 worth of ore.
The mine has been opened up by
tunnels and the ore body developed
along its strike for distance OF 200
feet and to a depth of 29O feet. 1t will
average six feet in width, is a carbon
ate ore, and is so soft that it may be
mined by picking it down at cost of
not to exceed 25 cents per ton. A com
plete sample taken recently from the
two upper levels returned a net value
of $15.29 to the ton, while ON the 26O-
foot level, due to the higher grade, a
composite sample gave a net return
of $27 so to the ton. The 5000 tons
now awaiting shipment were taken out
during the development work. No eff
fort was made by the management to
increase the tonnage, due TO the low
prices of the metals.
Senator Thatcher said, however, that
with lead and silver at their present
prices, and with every indication that
higher prices will rule in the near fu-
ture, il was the purpose of the com
panv to Increase the working force as
rapidly as possible.

LOCAL WOOL MARKET
IN UNSETTLED CONDITION

The local wool market is in an un.
settled condition. Several buyers are
in town, looking over the situation
and endeavoring to find out what
growers will sell for, but are making
no offers.
Yesterday Taylor & Wheeler shipped
their wool and today John G. Taylor
is loading at Ryepatch. Both clips
will go to the People s National bank,
Boston, by whom it will be placed in
the hands of broker, to be sold di-
rect to the mills. This is in the ma
ture of an experiment, and if success
full the rule will probably be adopted
by the balance of the woolgrowers of
eastern Nevada and southern Oregon,
who will sell around 100000 pounds
this year. It is estimated that by the
method mentioned from five to seven
cents a pound can be saved to the pro-
ducer, or an aggregate of about $780,
900.

Mrs Martha A. Russell, wife OF
George Russell, ST., of Elko, wealthy
rancher and stockman of eastern Ne
vada, died yesterday morning on east
bound Southern Pacific train No. 10
as it was approaching Reno. Heart
failure and old age affections is as

the train.
Mrs. Russell had been on the coast
for the last several months for the
benefit of her health. Her condition
improved to such an extent that two
OF her daughters, who were with heI
in Oakland, decided she could travel
and return to Elko. The party left
Oakland Thursday night, but the high
altitude apparently was too much fol
Mrs. Russell's heart, the stroke com
ing shortly after the train pulled out
of Truekee Mrs. E. Robert Newman
and Miss Ruth Russell, daughters, were
with their mother when the end came
Mrs. Russell was native of Indi
ana, n years old. Besides her hus-
band she is survived by a son, George
Russell, Jr., four daughters, Mrs. j. X.
Eby of ST Anthony, Idaho, Mrs. E.
Robert Newman, Miss Matte and Miss
Ruth Russell, and granddaughter, all

MINERS FIND SNAKES
BELOW 500-FOOT LEVEL

The following was received from a
gentleman whom we have always res
pected as a mining engineer of ability
and truthfulness up to the present
time:
''In sinking a shaft below the 500
level, the hosting engineer was sur
prised one day to see the miners who
were working in the bottom of the
shaft, climbing out of the ladderway,
exhausted asd scared nearly to death,
yelling they had struck snakes in the
bottom of the shaft. The foreman told
them they were crazy, but they said
to go down and see For himself, so the
foreman went down to see what was
the matter.
"Sure enough, in drilling a round
Of holes in the bottom of the shaft,
one of the drills struck through into
a cave and water spouted out of the
hole, and while the miners were watch
ing the stream of water, a snake about
sixteen isches long came up out of the
drill hole This was too much for the
miners and they started up the ladder
for the surface without ringing for
the bucket. -
Tn the dry desert country, where wa
ter is found at depth of 400 to 800
feet, it is known that there snakes
without eyes, which live along about
water level, from 400 to 600 feet below
the surface of the ground This proved
to be snake all right, without eyes,
and is preserved in alcohol in the of
fee of a well known mining engineer
in Los Angeles.-Mising World.
