"You mean"
"In the form Of a child, born to a
Quadroon girl named Della. The
mother, 1t seems, was able in some
way to convince the Judge of the
child's parentage. All this happened
shortly before Beaucaire's second mar
rfage, and previous to the time when
Haines came to the Landing. Exactly
what occurred Is not clear, or what ex-
PLANTATION was made to the bride. The
affair must have cut Beaucaire's pride
deeply, but he had to face the condi-
fons. 1t ended in his making the girl
Della his housekeeper. while her child

OIL DEVELOPMENT CONTINUED;
NEW DRILLING In PROGRESS

The recent cold snap slowed up but
did not terminate the activities of the
several oil companies at work in the
Fallon district The Lahontan Syndi-
cate, the Rainier, the Big Four and
many others are going right ahead
after the manner indicated by previ-
ously announced plans. The Lahon-
tan Syndicate has "spudded in" as
the oil men call the first few feet of
drilling on a hole, and the force at
the big derrick, marking the first
drilling attempt on the Sand Springs
anticline, is engaged in resetting GER
tain OF the machinery. The start
made last Saturday will be followed
by active work within the week.
Inquiries are reaching Fallon from
as far east as New York asking the
manner of acquiring oil land owner
ship here and every incoming mail
further proves the effectiveness of
the advertising campaign that has
been carried on relative to the Fallon
district. A number of the oil COM
pany managements announce that
raises in the price of stock will be
made in the near future.-[Churchill

sOCKLESS BURGLAR
MAKES NO DEFENSE

Before the sheep trespass case of
Cooper & Uniacke VS.. Siard was re-
sumed in district court this morning
District Attorney Powell filed an in
formation against Arthur Henderson,
charging him with burglary. The
prisoner pleaded guilty, waived his
right to be represented by counsel
and the statutory time for passing
sentence. He will be sentenced by
Judge Taber after five o'clock this
afternoon.
Henderson is the man who was
arrested at Golconda railway sta
ton and charged with burglary of the
f. Reinhart Company branch store at
the neighboring town. He waived a
preliminary examination before JUS
tice of the Peace James Buckley there
and was brought to Winnemucca.
A pair of socks which the prisoner
was wearing, which corresponded to
some which had been taken from the
store, led to his arrest.
On Henderson's plea of guilty this
morning, Judge Taber decided the
crime was burglary in the first de-
gree. the breaking and entering hav-
ing been committed about two o'clock
in the morning The penalty pre-
scribed by the statute in such case
made and provided is from one to
fifteen years in the State hoosgow.
The trial of the Cooper & Uniack
sheep trespass matter against s. Siard
still occupies the attention of district
court, with no indication of an end
ing apparent. A large number of
witnesses were at the court house
today.

FUNDS IN SIGHT FOR
HARMONY PROPERTY

According to letter received in
Winnemucca this morning from Geo.
b. Williams. manager of the Nevada
Harmony Mines Company. who il now
in Washington, DC. with Mrs. Will
liams, he has been successful in his
quest for financial backing for the
further development of the mine
property east of town. He is ready
to resume work now, the letter says.
but has been advised to await the
coming of milder weather, thereby
saving big bill of expense for break
ing frozen ground.
Mr.. Williams reports that funds
are now ample to provide a compress
sor for three-drill plant, to install
a proper pumping system, and to
prosecute development work in an
active manner.
Work on the Nevada Harmony
property was suspended about three
months ago, when a heavy flow of
water was encountered just as most
excellent looking rock was encoun-
tered. The property is essentially
copper proposition, although silver
and some gold is encountered.
The scheme of ultimate develop
ment of this project is to run tun-
mel distance of about 100 feet from
the Harmony canyon, which will tap
three veins at depth of from 400 to
500 feet, and afford perfect drainage
and gravity transit of rock

MAN WENT THROUGH
TK|RTY-M|LE CANYON

The only man who ever went
through the thirty-mile canyon Of
the Owyhee from Three Forks to the
Duncan bridge. was in town Monday
night en- route from his home at Boise
to the Humboldt on a trapping expe-
dition, says the Jordan Valley Ex-
press. He gave a graphic description
of his trip, which was made in boat
made from a wagon box.
The walls of this canyon are from
1900 to 1900 feet in height, and at
intervals great masses of rock have
fallen and blocked the channel, max
ing it necessary to drag the boat
over and around masses os great
boulders. AT times the waters flowed
out under low. overhanging cliffs,
through caverns where owls and bats
dwell in semi-darkness at midday.
The trip was made in December,
eight or ten years ago, and on the
first day out the voyager, J. NJ. Collins
by name, was plunged into the icy
waters and lost all his provisions, by
the capsizing of the boat.
After four more days of climbing
and dragging his boat over the rocks.
interspersed with rides over swift,
turbulent waters, without food and
with no bedding or extra clothing for
protection during the winter nights,
Collins reached the Duncan ranch in
an exhausted condition and was as
sisted from his battered craft

MUCH MINING NEWS
FROM RESERVATION

During the month of October, Mr..
George w. Howell, vice-president of
the Howell-Dorhmann Company of
Oakland, came to Carson City, says
the News, and, accompanied by +. l..
Wildes and Will F. Casson, went to
see the Review group of claims, near
Reservation station, Nevada. After
his personal examination he employed
c. b. Kennedy, a mining expert, and
field man for Chicago and Oakland
parties, to examine the property.
After receiving the report, Mr.. How
ell and associates secured the prop
erty and organized the Review Sill
yer Mining Company.
Mr.. Wildes, while ON the trip men,
toned, measured the silver-lead vein
by stepping it, and states that it is
more than $50 feet wide, and few
hundred feet north this vein carries
high values in silver and lead. There
are several ledges on the Review
group, the main one being the one
just mentioned, which crosses the
ground from north to south fora dis
lance of 5000 feet. The other ledges
cut all formations and cross the ledge
mentioned, and two of them have
immense surface showings.
The property will be equipped with
compressor and drills, and a tunnel
$50 feet long will be contracted for.
Three veins can be developed by this
tunnel to depth of about 500 feet.
Well-informed mining men predict
that in ninety days from the time
the tunnel is started the company will
be extracting and shipping ore.
This property is only one and one
half miles from railroad and twenty
miles from the Thompson smelter.
1t has a splendid road from the mouth
OF the tunnel to the loading bins on
the railroad.

They got as far as Tobar. where they

Owing to the deep snow in the south

of the sheep are coming back into
Elko county, which will mean another
