WHEN NEVADA SAVED
THE NATIONS CREDIT

The output of the mines of the
comstoek lode from 1860 to date is APP
proximately 100000. 200. the proper
tions of gold and silver in the bullion
being 42.54 per cent gold and 57.46
per cent silver.
One of the largest bullion shipments
to go out from the Comstock for a
long time was made on Monday, May
4, when from a cleaup at the Mexican
mill seven bars of bullion We're ship
ped to the smelter by the Wells-Fargo
company, the estimated value being
about $4,000, figuring silver at y
cents. Practically all of this bullion
represented a run on Union ore some
of it, however, being from the Sierra
Nevada This is no doubt the largest
single bullion shipment made from
Union ore production since the SOS
and is a most substantial evidence OF
the present resources of the mine.

WHAT TIE B0y>' AND G!Ri X
CLUBS WILL. COUNT FOR

An adequate idea is obtained of
what the Boys and Girls Club can be
made to count for when it is consider
ed that If each of ten Douglas county
boys secures purebred pig. of the
same breed as the other boys pigs,
with eight sows aid two boars in the
lot it is fair estimate that we will
have 300 purebred pigs in Douglas
county at the end OF five years.
We can easily see what this will
mean for Douglas county. 1t will
mean that THIS county will have a
reputation all over the State for pure
bred pigs, and ii will mean the i'm
provement of our swine here Last,
but not last. it will mean that these
boys, the future ranchers of Douglas
county, will acquire lasting inter-
est II purebred stock.
The university has promised a
prize for the boy who raises the best
pig. This prize will be announced in
July. The boys will all secure their
pigs before the first Saturday in June.
All will be the same breed
Whatever breed we choose, we are
sure there will be no. miseonstruction
placed on our choice. We do not
mean to say that this breed is better
than any other breed We need to
choose some one. to carry out our
plan and have such number of pigs
of that breed here in few years, that
/ il will gain statewide reputation
for Douglas county.
have been cautioned against
choosing any one breed, but | believe
the ranchers of the county will under
stand what we are working for, and
there will be no miscontention placed
upon our endeavor.

'sNORSTED MAN. MAKES
HIT IN GARDNERyILLE

Last Saturday night the large
auditorium at the Douglas County
high school building was packed 20 ita
utmost capacity, the attraction being
"The Worsted Man" given by the
Leisure Hour Club of Carson under
the auspicies of the high school. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon
the young ladies and the only man
who made up the east. Nor are we
going to pick on, the stars of the per-
formance. because those who took
minor parts handled their lines witl
the ability of professionals.
The show was one of the best ever
staged here and those who took part
were loundly applauded by :he ap-
preciatiye audience made mp of Valley
people
Should the Leisure Hour Club ever
nnt on another show. they are assured
OF a hearty welcome and capacity

Ci;iS. Y DUNG HAS NARROW
ESCAPE At LAKE TAHOE

Chas. Young of Bijou, had a narrow
escape from losing his life in Lake
Tahoe one day last week. He, with
la passenger, left Biiou late in the
Afternoon for Tahoe Tavern, making
the trip in a small gasoline launch.
When nearing their destination,
heavy east wind suddenly came up.
and the lake became extremely rough,
tossing the frail little craft about
in an alarming manner. Waves dash
ed over the boat almost filling it with
water and put the engine out of COM
mission. The government launch
fortunately was at Tahoe City and
those aboard happened to see the small
boat being tosses about by the heavy
sea, and put out to rescue the occ.l-
pants. Mr. Young is of the opinion
that his boat would have been swamp
ed had it not been for timely assist
ance.

TO ASSIST
WORTHY BOYS
INTO BUSINESS

Through the generosity of Arendt
Jensen, president OF the Douglas
County Farmers Bank. the boys who
want to secure a pure bred pig. in the
undertaking of the Boys Pig Club to
have 800 pure breds of the some one
breed in Douglas county at the end of
five years, are enabled to do so, by
signing a note with Mr.. Jensen's bank.
No security is asked of the boy, be-
yond that he shall have an excellent
reputation and standing in his own
community. He simply signs his
name, and there is no other name to
the paper.
The note is payable as soon as the
boy obtains pigs from his purebred
pigs. These he sells, and pays his
note TO the bank.
A Centerville boy has already Sc
cured $500 for his pig in this way.
and other boys will follow the same
plan. Some OF the boys will give
notes to their fathers, payable the
same as the note at the bank.
The boys are signing up in this
Club. and will order their pigs before
the first of June.

Courier visited Lake Tahoe Sunday
and was agreeably surprised to find
SO much life in and about Bijou so
early in the season.
One of the new resorts to be opend
ut Lake Tahoe this season is that of
Young Bros, at Bijou. The large
building Is of attractive style and
workmen are now finishing up the in
terror A large lobby, with a grand
fire place. broad yerandas and a floor
for dancing are among the attractions
that will be at the disposal of the
guests of .hc new resort
The resort is built on the very
edge of Lake Tahoe. and beneath
the inviting shelter of giant pines that
tower their heads hundreds OF feet IN
the air. This is one of the incest To-
cations on this end of the lake and
under the accommodating manage
ment OF these two well known and
popular young men, the resort is sure
to become one OF Lake Tahoe's famous
resorts.
According 10 present plans the re-
sort will open its doors about the 18th
of June.

FISHING Is
GOOD AT
LAKE TAHOE

With the roads leading to Lake
Tahoe from the California side still
blocked with snow, the highways to
this famous spot from Nevada have
been free OF snow for several weeks
past. Nevada is extremely favored in
this respect, since it is a fact that the
best fishing at Lake Tahoe is early in
the season.
Among those OF Carson Valley who
took advantage of this favored con-
dition last Sunday were Ray Gale
f. J. Phillips, J. A. Cardinal, G.
Hampston, f. Drendel. ]. Gallagher,
TEX" Park, NJ. e Tinelots and others.
Fl ON Bijou the different parties took
boats ard were towed to a point near
Hobart by the Young Bros. launch.
Fishing was extremely good and all
returned home with the limit or near
that mark
OF thediiferent machines that made
the trip to the Lake over the Kings
bury grade, the drivers report that
road in very fair condition. in fact
much better than II will be later in
the season. During the winter sew
eral large boulders rolled down the
mountain side and lodged on the
grade but do not interfere with auto
mobile travel, there being plent of
room to get by without the slightest
danger.

What Boys Think of Girls.

Asked to write a composition
on What Boys Thinks of Girls" "
a lad unburdened his mind in
this wise.
Girls are much stuck up and
dignified in their manner and
behavior. They think more of
dress than anything, and like to
play with dolls and rags. They
cry if they see COW in a far
distance, and are afraid of guns.
They stay at home all the time,
and 60 to church every Sunday.
They are always sick. They
are always funny and making
fun of boys hands, and say how
dirty. They can't play marbles
l pity them poor things. They
make fun of boys and then turn
round and love them. | done
believe they ever killed a cat or
ANYTHING. They look out every
night and say. Oh. amt the
moon lovely" There is one
thing l have not fold and that
is, they always know their les
sons bettern boys"
