Especial TO the silver State)
LOVELOCK, June 1.-At a special
meeting of the stockholders of the
Rochester Mines company, held here
this morning, the action of the direct
ors, taken ten days ago, to merge with
the Weaver company, was highly ap-
proved. One million and thirty-fve
thousand shares of stock were repre-
sented, out of the total issue of one
million two hundred thousand, without
a dissenting vote.
l.. A. Friedman, general manager of
the Rochester Mines company, said:
'The action of the stockholders is
gratifying and means much for the flu
ture prosperity of the camp. The Wea-
ver is fine property, | think the
best of the two
New strikes have been of daily oe-
currence for the past two weeks. On
the Michel lease on the Weaver four
feet of ore has been opened up that
runs 5000 to the ton. This is on a con
tinuation of the west vein of the Big
-Four lease on the ground of the Roeh-
ester Mines company.
With the merging Of these two prop
critics, the Rochester mines will be the
biggest silver producing property in
the state. Ninetyfve per cent of the
stock of the Rochester Weaver com
pany will be represented at a special
meeting of that company to be held

WILL BOTTLE WATERS
OF BARRETT SPRINGS

Yesterday Frank l.. Reber purchased
from G. r. Smith one-half interest
IN Barrett springs, situated about two
and one-half miles west of the Nine
teen-Ten mine. It is the intention OF
the firm to begin bottling the water of
the springs for the trade some time
during the present month II has not
been definitely decided whether the
work will be done at the springs or
the water hauled to Winnemucca and
bottled here.
For many years it has been known
that the waters of Barrett springs con
tain medicinal properties, but the
mines of that locality have heretofore
monopolized all the attention. An
analysis of the water shows il to con
tain about the same properties as the
famous Buffalo Lithia water.

DOGS DO NOT TAKE
KINDLY TO MUzzLEs

The new ordinance requiring dogs
running at large in the town limits to
be muzzled went into effect this morn
ing, and practically every canine seen
on the streets wore muzzle of some
sort. Many of them did not take kind
~ to the new arrangement, and the au-
ties they cnt in trying to lose the orna-
ment were laughable.
Under the terms of the ordinance.
any dog seen on the streets without a
muzzle may be killed by any person
so disposed, but the new law does not
say that citizens will be permitted to
carry concealed weapons for the pur-
pose. Many people believe that the
ordinance should be amended to pro-
vide heavy penalty for any person
convicted of having removed a muzzle
from dog. If man should wish to
Kill certain dog, all he would have TO
do at present is to remove the muzzle.
and then shoot il.
However, while the new ordinance
has caused considerable Inconvenience
to owners of dogs, as well as the ca
mines, it is generally admitted to have
been a necessity for the public welfare.

FOREST RESERVE OFF,
GALS HELP PROTECT GAME

Arrangements have just been com

tween the game departments of Utaa,
Idaho, Wyoming and the district for

between the state and government off.
clais IN the protection Of game and the
enforcement Of the game laws The
nationa forests are the natural habi-
tats Of big game animals and it is there
that protection is especially desirable
and essential
The agreements set forth that all
forest officers on the national fores ss
OF district I who can be of assistance
il enforcing the game laws will be ap-
pointed deputy game wardtns toad. as
fai as is consistent with their regular
duties, in enforcing the game laws.
Forest officers viii also make an effort
to ascertain the number of big game
animals killed each season and to OBJ
tain census of the number of deer.
elk, moose, mountain sheep and ante
ope within their respective districts.
They will report the condition of the
big game and make all suggestions pos
sihle for its perpetuation.
In turn the state game warden will
assist the forest service in discovering
reporting and extinguishing forest
fires. Therefore, it is evident that
much mutual good should result through
the cooperation of state and govern
ment officials.
Tht wild game is a very material as
set of the state, supplying as it does
not only considerable amount of food
OF great intrinsic value, but also fur

ands. 1t is therefort economically i'm

in addition game animals.
In carrying out his agreement with
the states, the district forester has al.
ready recommended for Appointment
as deputy state game wardens 179 for
est officers in district 4, of which 65
are for Utah, 90 for Idaho, and "a for
Wyomin. These accessions will con.
stitute very big addition to the mum.
ber of men of the game department in
the employ of the states.
There is a very healthy sentiment
among the people in favor of strict
enforcement of the game laws. The
public generally appreciates that only
through good game laws and their
strict and impartial enforcement can
the early extinction of the big game
animals ebe avoided, and in view of its
great economic Importance to the states
they realize that the disappearance of
the big game would be a calamity TO
the west, robbing it of one of its IN
teiesting, valuable and distinctive
features.

SUIT FOR QUARTER
SHARE RICH Mine

An important mining suit is on trial
before Judge Ducker today, III the Dis
trict Court. 1t is entitled, M. b. Moore
and X. II. Young VS.. Rochester Weaver
Mining Company and f. NJ Schick.
The action is to recover a one-fourth
interest in the Rochester Weaver mine,
at present in the limelight over its con
solidation with the Rochester Mines
company.
The facts of the case, briefly stated,
seem to be that Olson, the original
owner of the Rochester Weaver, exc
cuted an instrument in favor of +. Nj.
Schick, which was placed in escrow
and afterwards taken up by the de-
fendant corporation, to whom it had
been transferred by Sehiek. The out
come of the action would seem TO hinge
Oh the identity of this instrument,
while defendants maintain it was a
deed.
Subsequently to the execution OF this
instrument, Olson executed deed to
a one-fourth interest in the Weaver
property to plaintiffs, in payment for
legal services.
Both sides are represented by an inn
posing array of legal talent, the list
including Matson, Drew < Mckenzie,
Stoddard, Moore & Woodburn, X. H.
Young and l.. G. Campbell, for plain
tiffs, and III. J. Murrish. Samuel Platt,
Hoyt, Gibbons & French, for defend
ant corporation, and r. NJ Hardy for

MUST MAKE FIGHT F0RPREpAREDNESS National Security League Relieves that Measure Will Meet with
 Determined Opposition.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-S. Stan wood Menken, prominent in the or sanization of the National Security League, declares that the greatest danger now facing the advocates or preparedness is the feeling that their campaign syeen, and that congress will surely phss the adequate meas ures for increases in the army and navy as outlined in the administra' tion's policy.
 MT. Menken declares that the dan ger of failing was never greater than now if the objective of a far-reaching measure for preparedness is to be ob- tained. He believes that an active campaign is urgent in order that the congress will be forced to favor the administration army and navy pro- gram by direct popular demand.

Eust and the Lungs.

Where there is less dust there is less tuberculosis. This disease Is respon sible for almost exactly One-quarter of all the deaths among wage earners fin this country between the ages of if teen and thirty-five. It Is also respon- sible for almost exactly one out of every three deaths that come between the ages of twenty and forty years to both male and female wage earners. The death rate from tuberculosis among agriculturists may be put at 106 per hundred thousand In comparison with this the death rate from tuberculosis among those engaged in cotton manu- fracture is POP; brass work, 279: copper work. 294; glass making. 295: earthen- ware. 333; cutlery, 3s2: file making. 4O2.

INITIATING A TIRE.
A Way to Test It When There 10 No
 Pressure Gauge Handy.


 Pressure Gauge Handy.
 Time was when every tire manufac- turer warned all and sundry to initiate their tires to high degree of pressure, and more probably than not this was due to the fact that in those days all pumping was done by hand and with very inefficient implements.
 The correct thing to do nowadays, of course, is to consult q standard table of requisite pressures, according to the size of tire and the load to be carried, and to use this in conjunction with a reliable gauge.
 But there is also rough and ready method which is by no means indeter- minate if no pressure gauge is handy. and that is to take the car out on to a dry road which is in bad state of re- pair and full of holes. Preferably there should be no passengers on the rear seats. If the driving wheels are pumped up too hard the driver will experience a constant sensation of incipient skid ding, and though he may not actually side slip. he will not find the car by any means easy to steer.
 This is evidence that the tires are so hard that they are pumping over ob. stacles instead of absorbing them with out leaving the ground.-New York World.

ORPHANS IN HOLLAND.
in Some Cities They Arc Dressed In
 Most Grotesque Fashion.

in Some Cities They Arc Dressed In
 Most Grotesque Fashion.
 The Dutch differ from the Chinese in announcing to the world the birth of children only in the article displayed. The Chinamen hang piece of ginger over the main entrance to the house, while the Hollanders indicate the event by piece of lace, combining with the lace a pink background for 8 boy and tinsel for girl.
 The orphans of some of the cities of Holland are quite conspicuous, and especially so when seen on the streets of Amsterdam, dressed in what might be termed half and half clothing. The east half of boys coat, including the sleeve, is red, while the west half is black. The dresses of girls are divid- ed in similar manner, but are topped off by becoming white caps, which make the young misses look very neat and attractive.
 This singular style of dress is said to have been adopted to enable the railroad officials, as well as the au- thoriies, to keep track of them. says the National Geographical Magazine. As the orphan asylums of Holland have the control of children committed to them until they are of age, the more mature of the unfortunates (wearing these odd garments in public) present very striking appearance.
