WOMEN HUNT COYOTES
FOR BIOLOGICAL SURVEY

II IS not generally known that
southern Nevada is patrolled by two
lynx-eyed women trappers who are
operating under the biological sur
vey in an effort to exterminate the
predatory coyote from the desert
country. They are Mrs. o. w. New
mar and Miss A. Schneider, whose
territory takes in all of Esmeralda,
Mineral and part of Nye county.
They have been working together
for some time without attracting at
tention until recently when they
wrote to a moving picture director
engaged in making a film of Nevada
that they would be pleased to fur
nish three live, healthy coyotes to be
introduced in the picture as the
management might deem best.
They travel alone, using an auto
mobile for transportation, and trav-
elers who have encountered them at
various times in remote parts of the
desert have found them cheerful and
happy in their independent outdoor
life.

PARDON BOARD Is
NOW IN SESSION

The board of pardons met Tuesday
TO consider over $50 cases that have
either asked for parole or pardon.
Ten paroles were granted at the day
session and many denials made. 1t
is understood that the Skinner case
is TO come up toward the tail end of
the meeting. A brother is here in
the interest of the applicant. and as
was stated some time ago. when he
appeared before the board. that in
case a parole was granted that he
had arranged to take Skinner to a
point outside of the state and pro-
vide employment, says the Carson
City News.
Another case that attracted atten-
ton was that of Joe Bishop and Ella
Connell. IL will be remembered that
they eonsplred to poison the woman's
husband and when detected about
had the old man on the other side.
Parole was denied in both cases.
The following received paroles
Tuesday:
Frank Allison, c. Amsterdam. Sam
Bachman. Antoine Dello. Joe Belsky,
John Brooks. II. NJ. Brown, Bob
George, Sam Martinez. and Joe Pier
point.
The Pierpoint case attracted con-
siderable attention in Tonopah at the
time of the trial. as the applicant
was convicted OF attempt at rape.
There has always been a question as
to the crime and the courts reviewed
the Ease on appeal. Pierpoint has al
ways maintained his innocence.
II Is expected that the board will
be in session the best part Of the
week.
A later dispatch says that on Thurs
day F.. e. Skinner was denied a parole
for the third time. II was decided by
the board that Skinner would be pa
rolled when he had served thirteen
a including credits. Two men,
hers of the board cast their vote IN
favor of parole. Skinner was convict
ed in 1910 of killing Dollie Mono in
Nye county. He alleged that the
woman attacked him first and threat
ened his life. He was sentenced to
fifty years in the state penitentiary.
skinner has served twelve years in
GLIDING credits.

ALL THAT WE CAN RE.

You never can be one the world can
get along without
You cannot grow so wise and good,
so muscular and stout
But what another Just rs wise and
just as strong a do
The very things that you perform and
fill the place of you,
But you can do your work so well
that when you quit your place
The world will miss your cheerful
smile and long to see your face
Man is not all-important here; life
leans not on the few;
The old depart and youth comes IN
the tasks II leaves to do.
When strong men fall the fight goes
on, for men of strength araise.
New sages follow sages dead, for wis
dom never dies.
But all who have the will to serve
may find their fame in this:
That they are men the world some
day shall sadly mourn and miss
We cannot lock within u breasts
life's secrets or It's lore.
We die, but strength and wisdom live
and will forever more.
We take from life the things we need,
the skill that others lack,
And when at last deaths summons
comes. to life we hand them
back.
We shall have reached flames great
est height. II when we've trav-
eled on,
A few shall miss us from u posts
and mourn that We have gone.

BIG DISCOVERY MADE
IN LINCOLN COUNTY

Last Saturday evening John p.
Become, who owns a piece of min
in property in Smith Greek valley,
came to Austin, on his way to the
property, where he will prosecute de-
velopment work. He was accom-
panied by II. A. Holmburg, a mining
engineer and general mining man
from Salt Lake, who will make an
examination of the property, says
the Reese River Reveille.
Mr.. Holmburg recently came from
Comet district, &c miles from Phoebe
and says that a find has been made
at that place which promises to be
the greatest boom Nevada ever had.
Some leasers have uncovered a
body or lead-siIver ore there which
Ia about eighteen feet in width, and
an ore shoot 4 feet wide running
through il runs 46 per cent lead,
and carries 1147 ounces of silver to
the ton and .25 of an n of gold.
A shaft had been sunk to a depth of
fifteen feet when Mr.. Holmburg was
there and the ore body was solid
and seemed to be widening with
depth.
On the surface. from rock which
had been broken off the ledge In the
process of erosions, these leasers
gathered twenty-seven tons of ore.
which they shipped to a smelter in
Salt Lake, and the shipment netted
them $1,000. in spite of the long and
expensive haul TO the railroad and
smelter charges.
Other mines adjoining the place
where the big find was made have
been worked at a profit for some
time, and Mr.. Holmburg predicts a
big excitement in mining circles as
soon rs the discovery gets abroad
among mining men.
