LUNING DISTRICT
Budget of Newsy Items From
a Lively Camp

Carl Dwight. a mining man from
Luning was in town last Wednesday,
and gave the Bulletin the following
interesting items:
The resumption of activities on The
Giroux claims IA miles north of
Luning is causing considerable com
ment in the camp. These claims are
controlled by the Arizona Copper
Syndicate, and it is believed that the
material advance in the price of cop
per is the cause of the beginning of
work at the present time.
Six men are at work and in a few
DAYS the force will be doubled and Il
compressor installed. A shaft will
be sunk 600 to 700 feet, or until the
water level and sulphide ores are
reached. According to Mr. Dwight
this is the first time that mining oper-
atons of any considerable magnitude
have been prosecuted in the camp
and il the expectations of the mining
men are fulfilled, the camp of Luning
will be one of the busiest of Il e
state.
Bert Walsh and Nick Bradshaw
have been doing some work on their
claims near Dunn Barton Springs
and have taken out a shipment of
high grade copper ore.
Con Bdchman and G. E. Watson
have shipped several carload, OF cop
per ore from their lease ON the New
ersweat in New York Canyon. They
have uncovered shoot Of high grade
copper ore, and at the present mar
ket can continue shipping for some
time.
Chas. Jacobs of the Esmeralda
Copper Company, which is controlled
by New York and New Jersey capt.
alists, has ordered u compressor and
will commence work on Il large scale
on their property, about two miles
northeast of Luning
The camp of Moho, about six miles
from Belleville, is claiming a good
deal of the attention of Luningites,
and number of people from Luning
have taken leases and other interests
there. There are eight leasers work
ing ut the new camp and "a car Of ore
a day is being shipped, which will be
increased as soon as the snow goes
off aud the roads are in better condi
ton. Among the Luning people ut
Moho are Ben Clay, 10 Bush, Dick
Bush, Jim Plant, Charles Compton,
Ben Mount, Chris Smith, Joe Hanlon
Jack Skuse, and Jim Spanger, and
all are l,ased with the outlook of
the camh.
Mr.. Dwight says that there are
about l20, 900 head of sheep aud cat
Tie wlntering near Luning, which
brings Il small measure of prosperity
TO the local merchants, and incident
tally proves that Mineral county is
something besides the barren desert
that some people think it.

What They're Doing in Carson

The bill introduced in the legisa.
ture by Senator Bazar authorizing
Mineral County to issue 1000
bonds to meet the current expenses
is necessary measu re, and has the
support of every one who has the
interest OF the county at heart The
need of funds is apparent. There
were five months during the past
year in which the money in the
treasury was insufficient to meet the
bills which were presented and at
the last meeting of the board oil
commissioners the bills were again
passed. owing to u lack OF funds
with which To pay them, and nc
money will be available during the
next five months under the existing
conditions. There are u few dis
gruntled Office and patronage seekers
who were given the hook at the
recent election who are attempting
to embarass the present county Off
Gals with senseless criticism of the
bond issue, aud with this exception
there is no opposition to the bond
issue.
The Lee high license bill which
raised saloon licenses from $3.50 to
$1,000 has been defeated in the Sen
ate.
The legislators are apparently be-
ginning to realize that there is still
much to be done and but little time
IT, do it in. The week has been a
record breaker for the introduction
of bills. Following is II brief list of
the more important ones:
The gambling bill, introduced by
Arnold OF Esmerada, does not
change the present law in prohibit
ing faro, roulette aud similar per-
centage games, but permits draw
poker, stud poker, solo, black -jlck,
whist and all games wherein the deal
alternates. The dopesters say that
the bill will pass.
The prize fight BILL also bv Arnold,
permits 20 round contests at licen-
Sc Of 500, 10 rounds for $50 and four
ROUNDS for $40.
Assemblyman Leary of Ormsby
has introduced bill consolidating
the counties of Ornsby, Storey and
Douglass into one to bS known as
Carson county. The bill will do
away with two sets of county officials
and for that reason will probably
die a-borning.
A water bill designed to clear
u titles Of water users on the prin-
cipal rivers in the state, including
Walker River. has been introduced.
The passage of this bill would SUBJ
stantially increase the farming pop
pation oil the state.

Communal Life Of Ants.

The most complete communal life
is that OF ahts. They make other
ants serve as slaves. Some of them
have developed into door-tcnders. They
have hard heads, with which they
plug up entrances. Friendly ants an
nounce their presence by strolling the
heads in peculiar way giving tho
password. as 1t were, and then are
admitted. These ants even raise a
type of mushroom on which they live.

inevitable stage in the financing of
the war Buying more goods from the
United States than it has goods or

This means for the United States a
getting out of debt to Europe. AS this
process goes on. American stocks and
bonds owned there come home to pay
for American supplies. If the war
goes on a couple Of years more,
Americans will be owning their own
land, skyscrapers, railroads and trusts.

When a man who has worked CON
tinuously for a number of years loses
his position for any reason, the tlrst
thought of those who know him IS,

They think-"He had as much
chance to save as I did; why didn't
re do it?" But the man who asked
for help feels that he has not been
treated right He lays his treatment
to the fact that he is down and
out" and the next development IS
that he loses his seif-respect.
Nothing is so calculated to make
! man respect himself and to make
the community in which he lives and
works respect him, as his having a
certain sum of money back of him.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS
PyxUasnt american Society fer Thrift

The number of workers who
spend as they earn and all they earn
is almost beyond belief. The cities
are full Of them. Loss of work,
illness, or some unusual call on a
workers earnings leaves him prac-
tically a pauper. In his work he
must be a slave or a machine in I'M
conpenial employment, for he has
nothing on which to draw while he
seeks for something better.
Thrift has been we'll described as
the science of spending upward:
Without thrift one debars ones self
from the glorious privilege OF lnoe-
pendence. To spend money wisely
and to the best advantage, one needs
to exercise forethought, or one may
accumulate unsuitable and unneces-
sary things.
Along with forethought must go
order. Acquire the habit during the
incoming year of keeping an account
of all personal expenditures down
to the last penny Train the chill
dren to do the same with their pocket
money. 1t will be great educa-
t;onai power. Never treat money
affairs with levity." said Bulwer Lyt-
ton. Money is character"
It no doubt took great deal OF
self-denial for soldier during the
Civil War to save money, but PHI
yate Joe" Fifer, as he was known
throughout the middle West in the
eighties, did it. He saved $50 OF
his hard earned money to pay for
an education, and after the war was
over he began to study law. though
he had begun life as bricklayer,
Rv dint of the same perseverance
with which he saved the money tor
his education, he became governor OF
the State of Illinois 1t is the dis
c;pline of self-control and frugahtJ
that brings results

Davenport Democrat: 1.-THE Joneses
are quarantined for scarlet fever y
There's smallpox sign on Smiths
house, Little Jimmy Brown has
the diphtheria, and the house Is quar-
antined." You've heard it often. and
you know how your heart went out
in sympathy to the Joneses and
Smiths and Browns, even if the whis
pered bit of gossip was accompanied
by the word that it was only a light
case, or they thought it was vario
loid, or that they had used anti-toxin
on little Jimmy and he was getting
along fine. The sad part Of it was
that the family, or at least the femi'
nine portion Of it, while father board
ed elsewhere, was shut up for two
or three weeks without communica.
ton except by telephone with the
rest of the world.
But there is no cloud but has a
silver lining. Here's a Kansas man,
for instance, who writes to the city
officials after his family had been
quarantined for two weeks because
one Of the children had the small
pox:
During this time he wrote,
my wife caught up with her
Se"lES, DclII}o ulluio llti ocu w VOL
ers. We had three square meals
a day, as no one came in and she
wasn't permitted to go out. We
enjoyed two weeks of good. long
nights sleep. And best Of all, a
cousin with four children who ar
rived to visit us, saw the small
pox sign on the door and left
town so scared she will never
come back again. l wish to thank
the authorities, and hope they will
be equally thoughtful some time
again"
This letter raises the question
whether a paternalistic city govern
ment couldn't add some such func
ton to it's duties. What blessing it
would be, exclaims the Kansas City
Journal, for the average family to be
quarantined against the world for a
couple of weeks once a year or so
and turned into little isolated Eden
free from all contact with the rest
Of the world. No social duties, nc
business cares, no need even of going
to church, no obligations to the com
munity and no chance of being i'm
posed on by the community or any
mem Der Of it. A chance to get slept
