LONG LOST
FROM His FAMILY

Martin Groton, who died Monday
morning at the county hospital, was
buried yesterday from the parlors of
the Winnemucca Undertaking Com
pany, at o'clock pm.
There was considerable of a ro-
nance connected with the life OF
Groton, who for twenty-five years was
believed by his wife and daughters to
be dead. Some time during 1928
the old gentleman was brought to the
county hospital for a trifing illness
and was discovered by his family.
About six weeks ago the wife died,
and his daughter Mrs. James Sulli-
van of Reno, had not seen her father
for thirty-six years, and the younger
daughter does not remember ever hav-
in5 seen him. Both daughters arrived
from Reno and were present at the
interment in the new cemetery.

AS a matter of preparedness, it has
been given out that the city fathers

garding the regulation of automobiles,
and il is understood it will be drastic.
The chief of police will be ordered to
enforce the present law in regard to
auto lights.it is said. and to see that
mufflers are put on all cars, besides
enforcing the law to display numbers.
The chief of police announces that
the dog tax is now due at the city
clerks office, and warns owners that
IL the law is not complied with soon

all dogs found running at large on the
public streets.

NO DANGER OF RABIES SAYS
PROMINENT STATE OFFICIAL

The dry weather of the past season,
which is driving coyotes from hills
and desert to meadow and river lands
in search of water. is causing sporadic
cases of rabies to break out in several
sections of the State, according to re-
ports received by the Biological Sur
vey in Reno, says the Gazette. Off
cials of the survey say there is little
danger of any rabies epidemic break
ing out and causing damage. 1t rs
true, they say, that there are rabid
coyotes, dogs and other animals kille
in many sections, but this is large =
due to the fact that copotes are con-
centrating where there is water, and
this brings them close to ranches.
The weather OF the past four months
has been ideal for coyote hunters and
many of those employed by the Bio
logical Survey are making record kills
every month. Now that the animals
are concentrated they will be killed
off more rapidly; and in view of the
fact, according to government men,
that hunters are now employed in Ill
sections of the State, it would be al
most impossible for an epidemic of
any magnitude to start.

DEVELOPMENTS AT
NATIONAL LEASING

National Leasing development opera
tions on the property OF the company
at National, Nevada, continue unabated
and on the same scale as was inaugu-
rated when the company began explo-
ratory operations, says Rice's Indus
trial and Mining Age. The work of
drifting on the National vein in Ma
tional Leasing ground is progressing
rapidly. Developments are of the
same kind which have marked the
progress of the drift since the work
began. The quest is an oreshoot of
the character which produced $1,000
900 for the neighboring National mine
on the same vein.
During the present week c. II. Her
zig, the noted consulting engineer, will
inspect the property and make a re-
port to the company's offices in New
York, along with recommendations. II
is expected, now that the vein has
been drifted on for about 500 feet in
National Leasing ground. that Mr.
Herzig will direct Mine Superinten-
dent Pfouts to put up raises at vari-
Gus intervals on the vein and also TO
sink on the vein at several points. Mr.
Herzig's report will be awaited by
National Leasing stockholders with a
good deal of interest.
National Leasing stock was well
absorbed on the curb market during
the week at around &c a share, the
close being at sc big and &c asked
This stock sold up to 30c a share less
than four months ago. 1t is a curious
fact that the selling price of the en-
tire capitalization at this time is less
than the rate of present expenditure
for mine development covering pc
riod of fifteen months. From this
standpoint alone. regardless of pro-
digious speculation inherent in the
issue. the stock is palpably the most
underprices of all the curb popular
priced mining speculations.
The National Leasing Company l.
incorporated for 100000 shares, of
which less than 100000 shares are
outstanding One million shares OF
the treasury stock were underwritten
at 15c share. less per cent under
writing commission. This has pro-
vided the funds which are now being
used in development of the company's
holdings.
