WINCF|ELD PRE-
diets mining BOOM

George Winfield, Nevada mining
man, who refused a United States SEN
atorship when it was rendered him, is
at the Hotel Utah on his wav from
Denver to Reno. Mr.. Wingfeld is 1T
the head of a string of banks in Ne
vada and eastern California The min
ing industry in Nevada is opening up
again and Mr.. Wingfeld said that soon
it would go on as a stable business and
not as sometimes in the past a wildcat
business.
"There is a feeling over the country
that keeps business men from placing
their confidence in the future,'' said
Mr.. wingfeld. "When confidence is
lacking, of course business is bad. In
the West we are more sanguine than
easterners and keep on trying to make
business better. The western bankers
have more confidence in mankind than
do the easterners, and are trying to
make business better. Money is easier
in the west than the east and the banks
and the business men bear up more
hopefully than the business men and
bankers of the east.
"Nevada is doing fine and the min
ing industry is about to enter upon a
new era. The mining Of Nevada is on
a business basis and when the revival
comes it win continue on that basis,
and the day of the wildcatter will have
passed. Reno is much better since the
divorce laws were amended so that the
six months residence clause was rein
serted in the law. There are more peo-
PIE and more business there now than
at any time during the last two years.
Salt Lake is always good. The bus
mess men here are not dependent upon
what they do in the east nor are the
banks dependent upon eastern financial
support. Salt Lake and Utah seem to
be weathering the storm in fine shape.
The only shortage in business that
am able to find is that the people are
not spending their money as freely as
in former years.
Mr.. Wingfeld said that under no cir
cumstances would he accept a political
position and in commenting on his re-
fusal of the United States senatorship
from Nevada, said that he was not in
terested in politics. Herald Republi-

NEVADA BUSINESS IN
SATISFACTORY CONDITION

F. NJ. Lee, vice-president of the
Nixon National bank of Reno and the
First National bank of Winnemucca,
who is attending the directors meet
ing of the last named institution today,
states that business conditions
throughout the state are in most
satisfactory condition.
"'Cattle men are receiving good
prices for their Stock declared Mr..
Lee, "and sheep men are getting top
prices for lambs and wethers. Some
wool has been sold at fair prices, but
the bulk of the clip is being held in the
hope Of receiving advanced prices.
Mining is apparently looking up, and
taken as a whole the business enter
prises of the state are on firm basis.
Money is not moving very rapidly,
from the fact that the investment
spirit is rather conservative, owing,

for any large investments until the

SECURE LAND BEFORE
PRICE GOES TO SOARING

The story is often told that an early
settler once traded 100 acres of land
now occupied by the city of Pueblo
Colorado, for a barrel of whiskey
Other deals almost as extraordinary as
this were made in Denver when it was
a village. Wherever one goes in Cali
fornia may be seen old timers who tell
of the chances they had to buy land
for "a song land now covered bv
towns or orchards valued at 81 900 or
more an acre
The case of one old man in partidl-
lar is typical of many. He went to the
San Joaquin valley when a young man
and worked on a ranch. He had a
chance to buy land at $125 an acre.
and his employer offered to advance
the money and let him work it out But
he thought the land would never be
worth anything. As that land advanced
in value there was other cheap land to
b. had further back toward the hills.
But he felt certain that land would
never be worth the price. And so, lit
tie by little, the land values increased
and pushed on toward the hills Finally
the land was all settled up and mostl,
covered with orchards, orange and
lemon groves and vineyards and is
worth 81 900 an acre or more. Finally
the man, grown old, located a little
patch up in the hills, where the alti-
tude was too high and tillable land too
scarce to ever be worth much He
waited nearly all his life and finally
took what no one else wanted, when
he might have had first choice.
There are ld-timers in and around
Fallon, some of whom were quick to
realize the future possibilities of the
place, and who acquired holdings
There are still Others who were here
before there was town and before
there was a project, who failed to read
the eountry's future and so have not
profted from their early chances.
The object in pointing to these in
stances is to call attention to the op-
portunities that are still here.
The opportunities are not all gone.
They are in Fallon vet, and all around
Fallon. There are many farm units on
this project still open for location for
those who want to locate. There is
cheap land for those who want to buy.
The land is cheaper now than it will
ever he in the future The terms are
easy, if terms are desired.
There is much irrigahle land in this
project untaken. In a few more years
every unit win be owned by some
homesteader, and win be covered with
fields and orchards. just as these fields
and orchards which now beautifv the
landscapes have replaced sagebrush
and sand dunes.
Then will come men looking for land
and the government land will be all
taken. Then if they want to buy they
win have to pay $3.50 an acre up. Then
the inquirer will say:
81 could have located that land.
Who of the landless men now here
ten years hence look back to 1915 and
wish they had obtained land-Fallon

MAN KILLS RABID
COYOTE WITH CLUB

The Elko Free Press says: Yesterday
Jim Hosie and his faithful dog went
out to the extinct crater just south of
the railroad tracks, around which are
clustered the group of warm sulphur
springs Tn this group of springs men
often go to bathe, and the Indians
have erected tent shelter around the
largest of the lower springs, and come
for hundreds of miles to battle for
rheumatism, etc. AS Hose and his dog
were straying around looking over ma
ture' s wonderland, the dog suddenly
pricked up its ears and began 20
growl. The man was carrying short
club in one hand and bucket of hot
water in the other and on looking up
saw a coyote, frothing at the mouth
and approaching very rapidly. The dog,
although securely muzzled, jumped for
ward to attack the coyote, but Hosie,
with rare presence of mind, struck the
dog senseless with sharp blow on the
head and then moved forward to face
the cooyte. Tt must have been thrill
ing scene, that fight between man and
coyote, the animal mad with the fury
of the rabies, and the man armed with
but a short club. A coyote afflicted
with the rabies is said TO move in cir
cles, swapping at anything, within dis
tance that moves, so the coyote moved
towards the man with ever narrowing
circles until it finally got within biting
distance. Just as it opened its jaws to
snap, the man knowing that his life
hung on that single blow, mustered all
his strength and smashed down on the
eoyote's head The blow must have
crushed the coyotes skull, for it died
after a few convulsions.

DOGS MUST HAVE
METAL MUzzLFS

To Whom it May Concern:
At the request of the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners of Humboldt County
! herewith submit an Interpretation of
the Ordinance providing for the muz-
zling of dogs in Humboldt County, Ne
vada:
Section l Of said ordinance provides
as follows: "On and after the first day
Of June, A. d. 1915, it shall be unlaw-
full for any dog to run at large outside
the premises of the owner, except the
same be muzzled with a good and eff
eient muzzle rendering it impossible
fur such dog to bite any person )r
other Animal. -
Under the provisions of this section
it is apparent that the leather halters
or straps, now being worn by many
dogs throughout the County, are in no
sense good and efficient" muzzles
within the meaning of the ordinance
and do not render it impossible for
such dog to bite person or other ami
NAL.
In the opinion of the officers charged
with the enforcement of this ordinance,
the only good and efficient muzzle,
within the meaning of the ordinance.
now being used, are the wire or metal
muzzles, made to enclose entirely the
muzzles Of the dogs, and unless all
dogs are promptly muzzled with such
good end efficient nuzzles it will be
come the duty of the peace officers to
kill without further notice all dogs run
ming at large not 50 muzzled.
Tn view Of the fact that a rabid
coyote has been killed within the town
limits of Winnemucea, Nevada, and
that many dogs may have been bitten,
il is imperative that drastic action be
taken.
Should a person be bitten by rabid
dog, the owner thereof would not only
be criminally liable, but would be liza
BILE to respond in heavy civil damages,
and, should such person die, the owner
might be guilty Of manslaughter.

District Attorney of Humboldt
County, Nevada.

Howard Estabrook and Bar
bara Tenant, in an 'Liss,
released by the Word Film
corporation, will be shown at
at the Nixon opera house this
evening. Bret Harte Is name
is linked with the story, which
is one of the earliest that ne
wrote-the date of publica
tion is 1864, to be exact.
OF the days of 1s49 Bret
Harte was competent to write.
He lived near the times, and
on the scenes; he studied the
country, the people, their hab-
it's, their manners. II was a
naturalistie author, not
hack.
This story was placed at or z
about the period named. g
Smith s Pocket, a deserted Y
claim, is the stage. Smith had
died by the drink route, leav-
ing young daughter (M 'Liss).
With this wild, impulsive, fas-
cinating little creature, the
schoolmaster, Gray, falls in
love and she with him. NJ 'Liss
has rival in Clytie, the
blonde school girl, M 'Liss
hates her with thoroughgoing
intensity. Smith 5 Pocket be
comes valuable, and so M'Liss
is rich. She and tine school
master are finally made happy
by marriage.
On this graceful foundation, so
acteristic of Bret Harte, Mr.. o.
Lund, the director, has based a
drama of striking interest. Froi
vada he conveys the action to
ern California, and this gives hi
chance of introducing many bes
Mexieap scenes and groupings.

The eonflagration at the oil wells
