Markings of Horses Coat.

1t is found that there is a very def
mite connection between the coat color
Of horses and the frequency with
which white markings occur. Thus
the latter are by far the most COM
monty associated with the chestnut
color. And not only are they the most
prevalent in chestnut horses, but 1t Is
also, of course, a ~well-known fact that
the markings are apt to be more ex-
tended In nature In the case Of this
color than In that of any other! Chest
nut, therefore, apparently possesses
so to speak, a special affinity for these
markings. Bay ranks next as regards
the degree of frequency with which
white markings appear in horses Of
this color, although 1t comes a good
way behind chestnut in this respect.
Then follows brown, while the white
marks are met with less frequently
among black and roam colored horses

Why Strike Collapsed.

Two telegraph operators worked In
the office of the Milwaukee Free Press.
Both were employed by the press as
ISOLATION and not by the paper. They
came soused one Sunday night. de-
cided to strike, making demands for
more pay and shorter hours from the
managing editor Of the newspaper.
They were told to make their petition
to their employers. The t~elegraphers
retired for a council of war, put the
strike into effect and decided to picket
the Office. The Office had but n EN-
trance, but there must be strategy (;
SO one of the strikers posted himself
directly in front Of the office and the
other around the corner, the two be-
ing out of sight of each other.
Then each had the same bunch Of
getting another drink. They left their
posts and that was the end of the
strike. Other operators were called In
and the wires buzzed merrily on
Pep.

MINGFIELD TO S~UBDIVIDE AND
SELL RANCHING PROPERTY

According to the Churchill County
Standard, George Wingfield, owner of
the fine Calvada ranch, comprising
GAO acres of the most fertile land in
the Fallon project district, has de-
cided to complete the placing of the
entire tract in cultivation and within
a short time will set surveyors at
work subdividing the full section into
eight units of eighty acres each.
These will be improved by the cree
ton Of modern farm plants includ-
ing bungalows, barns and other need
ed structures, and Mr.. Wingield will,
during the coming year, offer these
tracts for sale on easy terms to in
dustrious heads of families who will
thus be given an opportunity to ac-
quire a home through the expendi-
ture of energy and small annual
money outlays.
The land to be offered is ideal for
alfalfa and general purpose farming.
including fruit growing, and the an
nouncement Of Wingfeld's intentions
will undoubtedly be sufficient to en-
compass the immediate sale of every
tract.

THE QUIET COUNTRY LIFE AS
LIVED UP LAMOILLE CANYON

The Elko Independent sure has a
perfectly polite correspondent up in
the Lamoillle canyon. Listen to the
description of a society event there:
"One of our neighbors who has been
playing the role of bachelor during
the absence of his wife and family
invited some of our distinguished
male citizens to meet with him at his
home and enjoy a social evening.
After a few games, blind mans buff,
and the like, that interest all ages,
and a social hour in general CONVEX
sation about coming and past phe-
nomena, he invited them to partake
of a luncheon which he had prepared
for the occasion. All partook freely
of the tempting repast and declared
their host a capital entertainer. 1t
is hoped that more of these little
happenings take place, and perhaps
help make the male portion of our
village more contented with this quiet
country life."

NO TALKEE NO MORE
SAID INDIAN WITNESS

Justice Harry Grier opened an in
quest over the remains of the two
men found burned to death on the
Manhattan road, says the Tonopah
Bonanza. The principal witness is
Sam Antoine Johnny, the Indian who
was with the Italians when they be-
gan experiencing engine trouble. The
Indian tells a straight story that is
c~orroborated by the testimony OF
other witnesses regarding times and
places mentioned In his account.
Johnny a y that trouble began late
in the afternoon and that the men
| continued working and doing their
best without appearing to make any
progress. Finally they stopped and
went into the cab until, Johnny ex-
planned, mo talkee no more" This
statement suggests that the men were
overcome by gasoline fumes and
lapsed into a state of unconscious
ness. BY that time the Indian be-
came alarmed and struck out on foot
for baxter Springs. where he ap-
peared at 10 o'clock at night after
having walked nine miles.
Joe Francisco, on hearing the trail
er's story, hitched a team of horses
and started put of the mountains to
help the truck crew. AS he drove
along overlooking the valley he per-
ceived the fire and knew his truck
was burning. He urged his horses,
but they could not make any speed,
and the whole tragedy unfolded itself
before Francisco's vision as he kept
his eyes gled to the blazing truck. He
saw Kelly arrive and stop. Then he
saw the fire ebb until nothing re-
manned but a slender column of
smoke rising from the smouldering
hay. He also observed Kelly leave.
Finally Francisco arrived at the truck
where he discovered the remains of
his two employees and was so over
come by the sight of their charred
bodies that he did not know what to
do. He lost his nerve and got ratified.
He knew that the authorities would
be notified by the owner of the auto
mobile who had put out the fire and
he could not think of anything else to
do than to go to Maggie Blues road
house on the old freighting road
where he stopped for the remainder
of the night.
Au autopsy held by Drs. Mcleod
and Turner failed to disclose any evil
dence of foul play.

TWO SQUARE MILES
RESERVATION WORK

Discoveries of high grade bodies OF
silver-lead and silver-gold ore in the
Reservation district a few miles from
Schurz have stirred widespread in
terest, and powerful Eastern and Pa
cifc Coast capitalists have acquired
substantial interests, declares the
Walker Lake Bulletin. Development
of the district has been in progress
for about eight months. but 1t has
been only recently that the strongly
financed companies acquired control
of the principal mines.
The VI Mining Company is oper-
ating ON a group of five claims, ira
versed by a large silver-lead contact
orebody between lime and granite.
The vein is more than three feet wide
and has been developed to a depth OF
100 feet in shaft No. l. Sinking of
No. 2 shaft has begun and it is al
ready down eighty feet, with the ore
body exposed. Assays across the full
width of the vein average $145 per ton
in silver, lead and gold, with silver
predominating. The company is in
stalling additional equipment and ex-
poets to start shipping in the early
part of 1920. George l.. Hedges of
Reservation is manager and w. Z.
Casson of Carson City, secretary.
The Nevada Silver Mining and De-
velopment Company has acquired the
Dog group, located 5000 feet south of
the VI, and has begun aggressive
work. The property is traversed by
the main VI silver ledge and five
east-and-west silver-gold veins as
saying SIS to $1,000 per ton at the sur
face. Equipment has been ordered
and a deep shaft is to be sunk pre-
liminary to extensive lateral develop
ment. w. G. Mcdonald, manager of
the Motor Finance Company, Oakland,
California, is president, and W. E.
Casson, secretary.
The Elkton Divide Company has
taken under lease some of the prin-
cipal claims in the heart of the dis
trict and is preparing for operations.
Considerable shipping ore is exposed
and the management plans to start
production with the passing of the
winter months. The company is large
ly composed of prominent Nevada OPP
orators, including Will Brougher, one
of the principal owners of the Tono-
pah Divide mine. C. Church of Tono-
pah is president and S. C. Jameson of
Tonopah is secretary and manager.
Eastern interests are preparing for
extensive work in the Packsaddle
group, and the Reservation Hill prop
erty, two of the largest and best de-
veloped mines in the district. The
wonderfully rich surfas re showings on
attention to the field, and were first
made known to white ~prospectors by
a dying Indian who had been be-
friended. The Reservation Hill is
chiefly noted for the high-grade silver
lead deposits, while the principal
veins on the Packsaddle carry silver
and gold.
The Review group has passed under
option of California people. 1t adj
joins the VT on the south, contains
several veins of rich ore, and is to be
comprehensively worked. Approx
mately two square miles of highly
mineralized territory have been dem
onstrated in the district, and the field
really promises to become one of the
largest yielders Of silver, lead and
gold in Nevada before another year
passes into history.
