CIOudbursts Do Damage

Cloudbursts recently swept
through the Quinn river valley, in
Humboldt county, and damaged
ranches. The Rebel Creek ranch,
one of the finest in hat part of the
county, was severely damaged by a
rush of water that destroyed 80
acres of alfalfa land, an orchard and
a garden. Many shade trees were
destroyed and the blacksmith shop
and other buildings were washed
away.

CARSON MAN MAY
ENTER CAMPAIGN
TItANT IN CONGRESSIONAL
RACE

Judge H. F. Bartine, chief COM
missioner of the public service COM
mission, who is presiding at the
hearings in Goldfield in relation to
water rates and power rates, was
one of the Goldfield pioneers and
was active in the practice of law
here before he was appointed to
membership in the Nevada railroad
commission, about 10 years ago.
Political gossip has frequently of
late connected Judge Bartine's name
with the approaching contest for the
sea- in congress now held by E. e.
Roberts. This would mean his en-
try in the democratic primaries. in
which C. R. Evans of Goldfield is
at this time the only entrant.
When questioned on the subject
by a Tribune representative today
the judge admitted having heard
the gossip. but failed to indicate
whether or not it was pleasing to
his ears. Anyhow he said he had no
announcement to make at this time.
Judge Bartine is a resident of Car
son.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
OUT FOR GOVERNOR
THATCHER Is FOURTH DEMO-
Graf TO ANNOUNCE CAN
DIDACY

George B. Thatcher, attorney gem
eral of the state, has announced his
candidacy for the democratic nomi-
nation for governor in a brief let
ter addressed to William Mcknight,
secretary of the democratic state
central committee.
Thatcher is the fourth democrat
to his candidacy for the
gubernatorial nomination, the 9TH
ers being Governor Boyle, Ben D.
Luce and San Pickett.
Thatcher's name has been men
toned quite prominently in connec-
ton with the gubernatorial nominal
tion ever since he announced over a
year ago that he did not intend to
seek reelection as attorney general
this year. From the part he has
played in previous political cam
paigns in Nevada there were few
who believed that the announcement
was a forecast of political retire.

death created a vacancy in the Unit
ed States senate Thatcher's friends
presented his name to the governor
as a candidate for the appointment
and it was given very serious con-
sideration by the chief executive

HORSE THIEF IS
TAKEN AT NINA
DEPUTY SHERIFF IN LINE FOR
THOUSAND DOLLAR
REWARD

William Calvert, alleged to have
stolen a horse from the Molini
ranch at Dyer, was brought here
last night from Nina and placed in
Jail. According to the police, Cal
vert has confessed the theft and
stated that he will plead guilty.
Calvert is said to have stolen the
horse Wednesday night and word
of the theft was received here from
Silver Peak, the neares telephone
station to Dyer, Thursday night.
Friday morning the sheriff's office
notified surrounding towns and
that night Calvert was taken in Gus
tcdy at Nina by Jack Hammell, a
Mineral county deputy sheriff.
Calvert is registered for the draft
in Carson, where he says his home
is.
An interesting feature of the ar
rest for Deputy Hammill is that a
$1,000 reward had been offered by
the ~cattlemen'S association for the
arrest and conviction of the horse
thief.
This morning Calvert waived a
preliminary examination and will
plead in the district court tomor-
row. He told the sheriff that he
was an ex-convict, having served
five years in the Nevada p%eniten-
tiary for burglary. He said his
parents reside in Carson.

Fire Burns Lumber Mill

The entire plant of the F. S.
Murphy Lumber company at Sioat,
Cal, Is miles east of Quincy, in
Plumas county, was destroyed a few
days ago in an early-morning fire
supposed to have been of ~incendiary
origin. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. This was the fifth dis
astrous fire of mysterious origin to
start in that part of California dur
ing the past week. The fires are
being investigated by department of
justice officials and people in the
California counties north and west
of Reno fear more of them.

Soldiers For Having

Soldiers at the Presidio in San
for the hay harvest. The plan was
suggested at a meeting of farmers
of the Fallon region two weeks
ago and army officials have promis-
ed that 115 men will be sent. The
movement to secure the soldiers
was launched because of the uncer-
tainty of transient labor and proof
of the need for the men is shown
by the fact that when it became
known soldiers would be available
43 we're applied for by farmers and
it is now said that the entire 115
will be in demand.

RAIL CONTROL BY
GOVERNMENT
DECR|ED :
AUTHORITY SAYS MOVE
MENT Is THREAT AFTER
WAR

ROME, July 1. DR.. Nance
Pantaleoni, who is considered an au-
tbority on systems of government,
sees great danger for European ma
tions in the war time tendency to-
ward government control OF rail-
ways. He says that after the war
the United States will shake off
such parasitic ideas" In an inter-
view with the Associated Press, DR..
Pantaleoni said:
Government ownership of rail-
ways is only one of the many afflic-
tions sure to be imposed upon this
poor old Europe after the war. With
the war the government has become
almighty with us. The government
now does everything and after the
war it's Entertainments will be ap-
palling and bring us near to ruin.
"The United States is run on diff
ferent lines; it was founded on 9th
er principles, and while it may be
harrassed after the war by bogies
o? government control, it vii! shake
.dem off. The country is too young
and strong. Parasitic government
control ideas attacking it will be no
more than lice on a big, healthy dog.
IF | had never before been con-
WINGED of the futility of government
control, this war would certainly
have convinced me. | am now sure
that the less government a nation
has the better it is for the prosper
ity of its people. A government is
always robbed, always too late in
what it does, is always betrayed by
it's employees.
"The wal waste in Italy has been
about eight billion lire. 1t is a we'll
known fact that privately owned
German railways have always paid
greater dividends than those owned
by the government there. In France
the Western railway, as controlled
by the government, is a miserable
and costly failure.
Il repeat, and with the expert
ence of many years of Europe be-
hind me, that everything a govern
ment does must be badly done, and
the degree of badness depends on
the average capacity of the nation
doing 1t. The post office and gov-
eminent telegraph and telephone
systems of Europe are monuments
of inefficiency and waste.
THE prosperity and welfare of
the whole world in the neal future
depends upon the fight which hon
est and intelligent people make
against the follies of government
control"

Minden depot. The sugar was
shipped by a San Francisco firm to
men residing near Minden. The sale
or purchase of this amount of SUI

Life Lost i'm Flood

Reports of great damage by flood
continue to come from all parts of

that Fritz Wolf, a Willow Creek
prospector, lost his life, as pieces of
his clothing and camp utensils have
been found in the path of the flood.
One rancher had just finished shear

wool, estimated to have been worth

TOnOpah Saloons May Close

The Nye county council of defense
has adopted a resolution urging the
ordinance for the closing of saloons
between II p. m. and Z a. m. The
action caused great surprise and sa-

come of the suggestion. The camp
always has been wide open, but the
council insists that the action has
been taken to conserve labor to the
extent that more individuals will be
available for war work.

Arrested for Aiding Walters

1t was rumored several weeks ago
that persons suspected of having
aided Paul Walters, the murderer of
Sheriff Mark Wildes of Churchill
county, during the five days when
posses were scratching for him, were
under arrest at Fallon and it is now
known that Deputy U. S. Marshal E.
C. Dalzell has placed under arrest
j. G. Temple. Temple was held for
the action of the federal grand jury
and his bond was fixed at $500, in
default of which he was committed
to the Washoe county Jail.

NEW DISCOVERY IS
REPORTED TO
Be RICH
SILVER-LEAD ORE OF HIGH
GRADE FOUND NEAR
NINA

COnSlQeTdDl6 vi a SUI was SACoNCN
in Nina this week ove a reported
rich strike made three and a half
miles west of here on the property
of w. E. Bell and Oscar Weutzler.
Quite a number of people rushed to
the scene of the find and a number
of locations were made.
The find was made on the west
side of the first low range of hills
west Of Nina, and about a half mile
south of the recent sensational cop
per strike made by Alex BEETLES.
The section, although but little at
tention has been paid to it, is likely
looking and shows much mineraliza-
tory.
To the north of the strike, Alex
BEETLES and DR.. F. c.. Pache have
one of the biggest and mos. import
ant copper strikes as regards ;hc
future of copper mining in this
county. To the south of it is an
important anthony property that
is owned by Sol. NJ. Summerfield,
Paul Kienapfel and Oscar Wutzler,
and to the southwest of it is another
anthony property owned by j. Hol-
man Buck and Joseph X. Buck. Be-
sides carrying high-grade stybnite
the ore on this property carries fair
values in silver and gold.
The new strike, which at present
appears to be a very important one,
was made quite accidentally. For
the past several months w. E. Bell.
who is employed by the Southern
Pacific at this point, has kept Oscar
Wutzler, or of the best prospectors
in the state prospecting. A few
days ago while Oscar a walking
over what to him looked like quartz
tie dykes and outcrops, a jack rab-
bit jumped out of a hole burrowed
out of the rocks.
Oscar went down to examine the
burrow and while doing this his
eyes were attracted to a small piece
of steel ~galena. He broke a piece
off of what looked like quartzite and
exposed a glittering mass of lead
and silver. Going below this spot
a short distance he started an open
cut and his first efforts uncovered
a strong ledge heavily mi~neralized,
4la I,o I4;or - tho fArr, of no
lena. chloride and bromide of silver
and black metal. Assays run on
this rock gave returns of from $173
to better thar $500 per ton, some
of the assays showing as high as so
per cent in lead content.
While it is too early as yet to
owing to the fact that it has only
been exposed by shallow surface
workings, it looks to be n of the
most important and sensational
finds made since the discovery of
the Lucky Boy, the ore of which it
closely resembles. The values, as
olONh ny W.
ings, extend across a width of 45
feet and can be traced through out
crops for a distance of 200 feet.
a tunnel is now being driven on
a part of the ledge which is exposing
a better body of ore. This is being
sacked and will average better than
$50 per ton. From present indica-
lions and showings Bell and Wutz-
Ter have one OF the biggest mining
properties discovered in that dis
trict since the days of the famous
Bell and Lincoln mines, which are
close neighbors to the new strike
Western Nevada Miner.

l.. Leete of the department of ag-
