ADELAIDE mining
DISTRICT GOSSIP
(sllver State Special Correspondence


The ranchers of Pumpernickle Val
ley have about finished putting up
their second crop of alfalfa and report
a bumper crop this year
Thomas and Joseph Tucker have
threshed their grain and have an
abundant crop. Altogether the valley
has been a heavy producer this season
and the country hereabouts has the
promise of prosperous future.
There is considerable mining activ-
ity in this district and several outside
parties have arrived during the sum
mer and have examined the gold and
manganese properties. The people
who took over the Black Diamond
holdings from Major and others are
progressing nicely with their work
and good deal of developing is being
done. Although good wages are paid
and conditions are satisfying, it Is
difficult TO get miners.
B. f. Freymeyer, who has the Harr.
Warren placer mines under lease and
bond, while prospecting new ground,
reports finding several punches of
good pay dirt and expects to make A
cleanup little later in the year.
Mrs. Joe Tucker, who has been
visiting with her sons, Thomas and
Joseph at their ranch, gave a picnic
IN the aspen grove at Stony Basin be-
iore returning to her home in Win
nemucca. There were nine persons in
the party and the boys killed and bar
oecued some sage chickens in camp
style. The outing was pronounced a
grand success. and everyone seemed TO
enjoy it very much.

QUICKER THE man
FOR HIGH JUSTICE

Today there appears in another
column of this newspaper the formal
announcement of the candidacy of
one of the best loved. most broad
minded, honest, fearless and. above all,
probably the best-posted jurist in this
state-Judge Edward A. Ducker can
didate for justice of the supreme court
of Nevada. He is one of the two regu-
lar nominees for this office, which is
non-partisan, and his name will ap-
pear on the ballot without party desig-
nation.
Judge Ducker is the only candidate
from this county for state office in
twenty years. He is we'll known
throughout the state as an able, inn
partial judge, better than one hundred
per cent American, and will receive
strong support from the voters.
Judge Ducker was three times elect
ed district attorney of this county, in
1904, 1906 and 1908, by overwhelming
majorities, which were the strongest
possible Endorsements of his official
administration, as well as attesting
his extreme popularity with the
voters. In 1910 he was elected district
judge of this county and in 1914 was
reelected without opposition In 1915
he was a candidate for the democratic
nomination for supreme Judge He
would have received the nomination
without opposition and his election
was not doubted. He withdrew from
the race. however, on account of the
death of his daughter shortly before
the convention met
Should he be the choice of the peo-
pie at the November election the
honor will be worthily conferred upon
a man of the highest legal and judicial
ability and training, who has made his
way by hard work from the bottom to
the top of his profession, and who
will see that the scales of justice are
held evenly balanced during his en-
tire career on the supreme bench.

PITCHING HAY A PASTIME
Methodist Pastor Works on Farms
and breaches.

Rev. J. Il. Bryan, pastor of the
Methodist church at Cottonwood Falls,
Kan, is showing his patriotism and is
helping solve the labor shortage by
putting in quite a large share of his
time working on the farms of men,
bers of his church.
Besides fulfilling all his pastorate
duties and preaching at funerals and
performing wedding ceremonies, Rev.
Mr.. Bryan finds plenty of time to make
a full hand in the hayfields for about
three or four days out of the week
or at least that has been his recent
record. He likes farm work and gar
dening and has done enough of this
strenuous labor to harden his muscles
so he can pitch hay with the best of
his parishioners.

German machine-gun position is given
in a letter by Henry A. Bauman to his
father at st. Louis. He says he is suf-

otherwise is all right. He says his
company in several fights have killed
more than 500 Germans and captured
500.
'Our battalion was picked to take a
very strong machine-gun position held
by the Germans" Bauman writes.
"They were dug in in a large strip
of woods, and the big rocks made the
position what looked to me like reg
ular nest of fortresses.
"It sure was a sight as we marched
across an open field in a valley, about
700 yards. There were three waves.
