TWO T0NOPAH MEN BURNED
TO DEATH BY.TRUCK FIRE

Fideli Ambrosini and Antonio Gay
were burned to death in a fire that

driving, near Spanish Springs on the
road from Tonopah to Manhattan.
w. j. Kelly, the mail carrier who
was returned from Tonopah to Man

after extingushing the flames with
q chemical discovered the two men
sitting upright in the cab of the truck.
They had been having trouble with

MANY RARE BOOKS
IN OLD HILL HOUSE

The old Hill house is being re-
modelled by A. NJ. Thompson and will
be converted into beauty parlors and
q bath house. The first named part
of the business will be opened this
week, probably, the bath arrange
ments requiring more time. they
probably will not be completed until
some time next month.
Ii has been known that a great
many treasured books of the Hill
family have been stored for years in
s'stic and basement of the old build
ing. The attic was boarded up. and
the books in the basement were in
cases. Thompson received request
from Mrs. Winnie Hill, now residing
at Long Beach, California, that he
repack and store there relics when
making alterations TO the house. This
the tenant agred to do. Yesterday the
attick was opened and in it were
found, among other things, thirty
bound volumes of The Silver State,
dating from 1870. The book are all
in perfectly good condition, and are
duplicates of files owned by this news
paper.
One especially interesting find in
the attic was a small book, printed in
Gothic type, Life and Adventures of
James w Marshall, the Discoverer of
Gold in California" 1t is by George
Frederic Parsons, and was printed by
L. J. Jeffries, at Sacramento, in 1870.
Many interesting old books were in
the collection which had been packed
and stored in the basement AS an
illustration, one work in four volumes
was noticed, entitled Letters by the
Earl of Chesterfield to His Son. 1t
was printed in London in 1776. One
dy-leaf bears the inscription, Kitty
Solomons, Her Book, presented to her
by her aunt, Mrs. Il. Indah, August
"a. 1875" The name of the original
purchaser of the book was rather in
distinct because of fading ink. but the
date of purchase, 1877, was plain.

LAST JURY MATTER
IN DISTRICT COURT

The sheep trespass case brought By
Cooper & Uniacke against S. Siard
occupies the attention of district
court today. 1t is the last case on
the present calendar, the matter Of
Jennie Williams against the Western
Pacific and railroad administration
having been settled out of court. All
trial jurors were excused today for
the remainder of the term.
The case of John Dotta of Lovelock
against Joe Scott was disposed of be-
fore the sheep trespass case was
taken up. 1t was to recover on a
promissory note of which the plain
tiff was guarantor. and had been
pending several months. Scott con-
fessed judgment in the sum of $4.-
1880, together with interest and
costs. This case was tried before
jury in district court last spring and
resulted in a disagreement.

CASE
Of JENNIE WILLIAMS,

Settlement of what is known as the
Williams case was completed out of
court this morning, in the Offices of
Campbell, Robins & Salter, attorneys
for the estate. Charles II. Kinds Of
San Francisco acted as adjuster for
the United States Railroad Admins
tration. The settlement figure was
not given out, but was said to be
substantial"
Suit was instituted by Lily Patton,
widow, for damages sustained when
her husband, John C.. Patton, was
killed at o'clock on the morning of
December z, 1918. while he was going
to the Western Pacific roundhouse
here to take out an engine. He was
fireman. Just before reaching the
roundhouse he was killed, it was said,
by another engine switching in the
yards. His body was found an hour
or so after the accident.
A month after filing the suit the
widow died. Then, in argument be-
lore Judge Callahan in the district
court. attorneys for the railroad ad-
ministration contended the suit died
with her, she being the beneficiary.
The judge ruled that such was not
the case and the case was set over
for trial before jury
Mrs. Jennie Williams, appointed ad-
ministratrix of the deceased Mrs. Pat
tons estate. carried the case forward
For the past week trial has been post
poned from day to day, and was to
have come up this morning before
Judge Taber. At the last moment it
vas decided to compromise.
The amount named as damages sus-
tanned when the suit was filed was
$4,000. The estate of the deceased
wife is beneficiary of the settlement
this morning. 1t is being probated
and heirs are to be decided at a later
date.

THE EAST URGENTLY
SEEKS SILVER MINES

The scramble for silver properties
in Nevada is assuming proportions
that are somewhat ridiculous in the
opinion of the owner of a developed
property or the estimate of an opera
tor who has expended capital in bring
ing prospect to the producing state.
Frantic kilograms from New York
and other Eastern cities, directing
agents to purchase silver mines out
right, or to take over prospects with
out payment of any consideration, are
coming to hand every hour, indicating
that New York operators are appre-
ciative of the opportunities for specu-
lation now afforded by silver prop
critics.
Conditions in Nevada, however, are
such that most owners of good pros
poets can find capital for development
without a great deal of trouble. AS
for real silver mines, there is no rec
ord of any for sale at any price. Some
of the scouts who have returned to
San Francisco during the past few
days predict that some extravagant
prices will be paid this winter for
properties which might have been
purchased for a song less than a year
ago.-tSan Francisco Chronicle.

ANOTHER "GUSHER- AT FALL0N
AGITATES CAMP OF TONOPAH

A report from Carson City that an
oil gusher was brought in at Fallon
caused considerable excitement on
the streets Tuesday morning, says
the Tonopah Times. Richardson &
Foster promptly wired the Fallon Oil
G Gas Company at Fallon for the facts
and received a reply to the effect that
they had struck a considerable oil
seepage at a shallow depth.
1t does not take much to kick up
an oil excitement in Tonopah. When

will no doubt occur in the near flu
ture. either at Fallon or in the Illipah

thirty-six below, while at the plant OF
the Pacific Fruit and Ice Company at

RESEEDING DEPLETED RANGE
TO CULTIVATED PLANTS

Since 1907 the Forest Service has
conducted over 500 tests throughout
the West to determine what particular
cultivated forage plants can be most
successfully seeded on the range and
what type of range may yield eco
nomic returns. The tests have aimed
to cover all important conditions of
soil, climate. exposure and elevation.
More than fifteen of the most per-
manent grasses and clovers have been
included in the trials.
The results obtained show clearly
that 1t does not pay TO plow ground
or to otherwise prepare a seed bed
similar to that resorted to in the usual
farm practice. The seed. however,
must be lightly covered. To accom-
plish this brush harrow. spring
tooth harrow, or, indeed. the passing
of band of sheep two or three times
over the seeded area, serves the pur-
pose.
Timothy, smooth bromegrass, Ken
lucky bluegrass, orchard grass, and
redlop in the order named have given
the best results. The best stand when
seeded to single species has been
procured by scattering seed in the
following amounts: Timothy. eight
rounds smooth bromegrass, 20; Ken
tucky bluegrass, 20; orchard grass
15; and redtop, Is pounds.
The best time in the year for scat
tering the seed in the intermountain
region is late spring or early summer
In the northwest seeding in autumn
gives best results. The difference in
the season of these two regions is due
TO the difference in climatic condi
tons.
Seeding to the cultivated forpge
rlants is expensive and economic re-
turns can be expected only where
soil and moisture conditions are far
aocve average. Scattering the seed
on dry side hills is waste of time
and money. Also it will not pay to
seed areas less than 500 feet below
timberline and it seldom pays TO seed
The dry areas of the foothills. The
bt st plan in building up range is to
permit the native vegetation to de-
velop seed and become re-established.

SUNSHINE
AND SNOW AD LIB

The Oldest old inhabitant who could
be located iii Winnemucca today had
nothing to say about the weather. He
was satisfied that the early winter of
i59 had nothing on the brand of
alleged winter which is being ladled
out here this week. With a sudden
drop to ten degrees below zero (offi-
cial) Tuesday night, followed by a
chinook Wednesday, il was hoped the
limit had been reached in the way of
weather acrobatics, But you can't
tell. Today's offerings have been cal
culated to cause hesitation in prog
nostication, although we notice the
weather man is still working. With
rain, hail. snow. and California sun
shine all coming along in the space
of an hour and ten minutes, it be-
hooves the householder to have on
hand goodly supplies of coal. wood,
ice. umbrellas. sunshade. and snow
shoes. Some people. doubtless, feel
much as did Reuben when he an
swered Cynthia, you can do without
the ice."
1t was too dark TO see funny things
when the lights went out for a short
time in the early evening of yester-
day; but tales of people falling and
being blown by the strong wind up
and down the icy. watery streets. were
numerous.

tinued until November l. 1918, when
at a meeting held in Goldfield this
agreement was Cancelled and a new

MERRY CHRISTMAS
FOR ALL SHEEP MEN

The Reno Gazette further confirms
story printed in The Silver State a
week ago. concerning the 1920 price
for wool clips. The Gazettes story
follows:
Next year will be one of great pros
perity for the livestock industry of
Nevada, particularly the sheep men,
as fully two-thirds of the 1920 wool
clip of this section has been sold dur
ing the last week to local and eastern
buyers at prices ranging from fifty to
fifty-one cents. The price, which is
practically three times that of the
pre-war period. is approximately the
same as that paid for the 1919 clip,
which held all previous records.
According to sheep men the buying
was started in this section by the rep
resentative of large eastern con-
cern, which began making contracts
at fifty cents, and which, in some in
stances, advanced a substantial por-
tion of the purchase price without
interest. Local and western buyer
Immediately jumped into the game
One man with 1900 head of sheer
sold his entire 1920 clip at fifty-on
cents, the record price so far.
The prices paid are for fine wool. o.
which there is said to be a shortage.
