the value of the high school lots,
Mayor simmons believes. is the

months This would discourage many
persons from bidding Tor the ground,
the mayor believes
"Thc high school block belongs to

yesterday. and | soc no sense in the

The $1,000 bid represents the value
which the city places on the old high
school building and other improve
mcnts The city still claims some in
tcrest in the property through It's
original transfer to the school board.

Yesterday that he did not know at
this time whether the city would
make another bid for the property.

BRITISH LOSSES AT
SEA, 50I,790 TONS
Some If Per Cent of Its Ar
mored Cruisers Has Been
Sunk by Enemy.

BERLlN, Nov. 7.-(By wireless to
Sayville) 1.-THE sinking of British
small crusier off the Irish coast by IA
German submarine has increased the
total British losses IN battleships and
cruisers to 1850 TONS says an
Overseas News agency announcement
today. This does not include British
auxiliary cruisers, submarines. torpedo
boats or ground ships lost.
According to the known strength
of the British navy at the beginning
of the war, it has lost IA per cent OF
its battleships, 80 per cent OF It's
armored cruisers and II per cent OF
its protected cruisers. Thirty mine
ships of "A total of 443,50O tons have
been destroyed by German naval
forces.
'The extent OF the British losses Is
notable in view OF the fact that at the
beginning of the war the French
navy's tonnage was $4,000 and the
Italian navy's $4,000.
Moreover. the British navy has lost
80 torpedo boats of 1,5OO tons and
rs submarines.
The figures given take into con-
sideration only those losses regarding
which no doubt exists"
The reference in the foregoing to q
British warship sunk off the Irish
coast doubtless concerns the German
admiralty announcement on Nove,n-
Der that small British cruiser CT
old construction had been sunk by
German submarine off the west
coast of Ireland. The British ad
miralty in its comment on the Ger
man report stated IL was evident that
the announcement referred to the

arrested at Carson while in the act
of robbing the resort conducted by
Vera Marx below the deadline, &C
cording to reports from the capital.
How Brown zane to be in Carson is
not known, as he is said to have
some time yet to serve on his SEN
tence.
The fact that Brown was a convict
was not discovered till the next day.
Night Officers Logan and Dodson
made the arrest and the negro show
ed fight when they attempted to ar
rest him. Logan tapped him on the
side of the head with his revolver
and put him hors de combat. Sew
eral articles taken by the negro were
found after the arrest was made.

showed hat the negro had foreeu
an entrance to the place from the
rear.
IT is the belief of the officers that
he was in the place some time before
his presence was discovered and they
think he figured on making several
trims to take away the plumber ne
had gathered. During the fight De-
tween the officers and the negro the
latter's coat was torn off and severai
blows we're struck.
The blow on the head with a gun
made a good man out of him AMI ne

An investigation was started
to ascertain how the negro happened
to be In Carson.

HOW MEMBERSHIP OF
LEGISLATURES STANDS

1t appears from an analysis of the
new law governing legislative repre-
sentation and reducing the member
ship of the legislative bodies of the
state of Nevada, that only foul coun-
ties will have the privilege of elect
ing a state senator this year. The
new law or apportionment provides
for one senator from each county.
All told there are - holdover SEN
ators representing II counties. The
people of the counties of Mineral,
Lyon, Nye and White Pine will elect
senator's. OF the hold over members
of the senate there are six democrats
and n independent and six republic
cans, so that to control the senate the
Democrats must elect three members
and the republicans three.
The slash that was made by the
last legislature in the apportionment
of the members of bouth houses will
result in a bigger scramble for fewer
jobs. The legislature vas cut from
rs members to 45.
The new law provides for n sena-
tor form each county and 81 assem-
hlymen, apportioned as follows:
Churchill 2; Douglas /; Elko 4;
Clark 3; Esmeralda 3; Eureka l;
Humboldt 8; Lander 1; Lincoln /;
Lyon 2; Mineral l; Nye 4; Ormsby
/; Story /; Washoe 7; and White
Pine 8.

JaRBIDGE BACHELORS
GETTING LONESOME

Ii is a long way from the railroad
to Jarbidge, New, and as a eonse-
cuence men who make their living
by following the romantic and ever
exciting life of a miner in this IA
nous Nevada camp have little time
or opportunity to invade the
of the outer world in search of some
one whom they can cherish and who
will make their home life in this
mountain town one of extreme hap
piness and contentment, says the
Reno Gazette.
The old quotation concerning Mo-
manned and the mountain must ap-
ply In this case as the following let
ter, received from James f. O'Brien,
one-time resident and prominent cit
lien of Jarbidge and n to whom
the citizens of the aforesaid noun
tain camp always look for guidance,
will show. The letter:
Il am writing you regarding the
Jarbidge Bachelors Club, a subsidiary
of the Jarbidge Commercial Club.
This club was formed with the idea
of a~meliorating the single blessed
ness condition of some 80 attractive
bachelors in the beautiful though iso-
lated town of Jarbidge.
"~Jarbidge, as you no doubt remem-
Der, is situated in the northeastern
part of the sagebrush state in that
deep valley in the Jarbidge noun
tains where the clear waters of the
beautiful %Jarbidge river roar by, The
town at present consists of the main
business street, two attractive resi-
dence districts, one on the east bank
of the river and the other on Bear
creek, where you have the clear wa
ters trickling by your cabin door
with the grand. sheer cliffs of rhyo-
lite rising to meet the deep azure
of the clear Nevada skies. A short
walk up the river amid the beautiful
pines and cottonwoods, on a sunny
afternoon, will take one to the at.
tractive little suburb of Pavalak.
"Of course the principal industry
ia the mining of the precious metal,

%veloped, namely, the Long Hike mine
and the Bluster Consolidated Mines

ing the. elk for Nye county, but with
out success.
..There is inclosed herewith a cir.
cular of instructions, issued by the
department of the interior, with re-
gard thereto, from which 1t will be-
noted that many obstacles will have
to be overcome before Nevada is ell
gible to receive elk. Primarily, Ii
appears that Nevada does not have
an adequate game law for the protec-
ton of elk, which, as you know, can
mi be hunted at any season of the
year No state will be allowed elk
which does not possess a law pro-
hibiting the killing of elk.
1.-THE suggestion was made at the
department that this matter be
brought to the attention of the legis-
lature, with a view to having 1t frame
and pass such a law. and, at the same
time so to amend the existing game
laws as more adequately to protect
the antelope.
when the adequate laws have
been enacted, the elk may be pro-
cured, as per instructions inclosed.
at the cost of IS a head for captur-
ing and all hauling, loading and
transportation charges incident to
their transfer to that part of the state
in which 1t is desired to range them.
J An attendant also will have to be
furnished to accompany the elk from
the point of loading for shipment to
their final destination. AS you will
note from the inclosed circular, the
rules governing the transfer of these
animals are very strict, and unles
complied with in every particular the
elk will not be furnished. When the
elk have reached their destination,
they must be confined In a corral OF
sufficient size and fed until the grass
season begins; preferably so con
fined for about a year. so as to &C
quaint them with their surroundings
LAS soon as this matter has been
taken up with the legislature and 8
proper protective game law enacted
| will be glad to take up this matter
again. and | am almost certain tbs
elk can be procured"

STATE LAW PREVENTS
GETTING ELK FOR NEVADA

Because Neyada's game laws dc
not provide for the protection of elk,
it will be impossible to secure any OF
the animals under the government
regulations for counties in the state
this year, according to information
contained in a letter from senator
Key Pittman to Secretary of State
George Brodigan.
Even then, according to the sena-
tors letter, the government regula-
tions for the distribution of the ami
mails from the Yellowstone National
Park would make 1t extremely diff
ficult to secure them.
One provision of the regulations
governing distribution of elk says:
I'm view of the existence of sew
eral peculiar forms Of elk on the
Pacific Coast. and the Importance In
keeping these elk distinct from the
Rocky Mountain species, request fol-
elk intended for the Cascades, Sierra
Nevadas, or points west of these
ranges, will not receive approval"
