HOME BREW IS
FULL OF. POISON

Homemade distilling In the next
three years, will at the present rate
of manufacturing. by experienced men
and women, take the toll of more
lives in America than were lost In the
world war. is the announcement made
by physicians In warning. The best
policy is not to drink any moon
shine which you did not make your
self. because you cannot tell from
what 1t is made. Fusil oil Is COM
monty used, and Is as deadly a poison
as wood alcohol.
The warning explains the deadly
fusil oil and its danger in home
the "old days" the bartender. when he
opened up fresh bottle of whiskey,
would pour of the top? That was the
fusil oil.
"In the home product" says the
chemists. ''the oil is bound to be found
in greater quantity. This oil, together
with putrefaction. in wild fermenta-
tion, threatens death to every man.
and woman who takes a single drink
of homemade liquor"
This is not the only danger. how
ever. Home distillers think because
they distill In copper their product
will be pure
Copper in itself-the stills and
coils-is not poisonous" scientific
men say. But ignorance of their use
often leads to production of poison.
All the salts of copper, science knows,
are poisonous. Blue yitriol and verdi
girls abe the fost common. A half
ounce of the former will produce
death in an adult. 'Moonshine' drink
ers are often heard complaining OF
the rapid increasing intense headache
suffered after jag. This is copper
poisoning.
Another complaint OF the moon
shine drinker is severe pains in the
bones. Blue vitriol. If 1t does not kill,
will cause the bones to rot. says medi-
cal men,"
Investigation by toxico.ogists re-
peals that a great majority of house
wives use potatoes In their distilling
This is the most dangerous practice
of all. The spirit contained in the
potato has more mayl. or fusel Oil
than any other matter from which
whiskey can be made.

FA|RV|EW MINE IS
OPERATED At
Low cost

p. II. Sample Of the Alpine -Fairview
Mining company, has made the follow
ing report to the st0ckholders
Six months ago today. lacking one
week, active operations were started
on the development of this mining
property on Fairview Mountain, Alpine
county. Without the lapse of a day
from that day until October 27 under
my personal direction and supervision
as the president and general manager.
the Work of Development has pro-
gressed.
The work accomplished has been as
follows: More than two miles of
wide. banked. rock-baiiasted trail
made from the foot OF mountain to
mine: better than 200 running feet of
SKI tunnel and shaft work done on the
main lead of ore. all timbered solid
with heavy timbers cut on the prop
erty: more than 100 cubic yards of
earth moved in open-cut work, further
proving the permanence, extent and
direction of the ore body In other
parts of the hill; one large log bunk
house. bungaloed with shakes outside
and in. 16x2s feet. and " decker,
completed and camp equipped. and
timbers all out for erection of black
smith shop; also sufficient mine tim
bers for nearly 100 feet more Of tm-
mel work. for use during the winter
months.
All this has been accomplished with
the expenditure Of considerably less
than $4,000 or less than two-fifths
the estimate of our engineers for the
development of the mine. The results
attained and the conditions existing
are good ground for the opinion that
well within the limit of $4,000 we will
have our mine developed and be ship
ping ore at a good profit
We are still pushing the tunnel in
to the hill to reach point where the
formation is compact enough to mine
without timbering We are particul-
arly fortunate In having had the ore
good ore with us every inch OF the
way in. and at present the walls and
fact at the end Of the tunns show a
preceptible tightening up. The indi.
cations are that rs to 100 feet more
will find us in solid rock where we can
do open mining (no timbsring re-
quired).
The ore In the face OF the tunnel as
well as all that we have taken out
runs well apove 5000 per ton in the
three metals. copper, silver and gold.
Consequently We expect, as soon as
the solid formation Is attained, to be
able to take out good shipping ore in
sufficient quantities to ship to the
smelter at a good net profit.
The opinion of our consulting engi-
neer, Mr.. Updike, is more pronounced
and emphatic than ever that Alpine
Fairview is destined to be one of the
biggest and best paying fines in the
West. Needless to say. the general
manager heartily agres with him.

Douglas Teams
Meet Defeat
(By Harold Imelli)

left for Carson at $50 a. m. to catch
the 10 o'clock train for Wabuska.
or the three cars only two arrived in
time for the train. Captain Spring
meyer of the boys team who was driv-
ing the last car, broke down on the
Haybourn tract. He had with him
Clock of the boys team, Thelma Ped
role, the girls captain. their coach.
Miss Boyd and three other girls of the
team.
At Yerington the rest of the teams
waited for Springmeyer thinking he
would drive over. But about 6 o.
clock we were worried that he was
not coming and SO wired him. The
answer to the wire disheartened the
members OF the teams, he stating that
he had broken down and could not
come. ~
With only three girls Of the girls
team and five boys of the boys team,
two of whom had not played In an in
terscholastic game before, We were
going to play anyhow. and We did.
To amuse the crowd three members
of the Yerington high faculty played
with our three girls against the YER
ington Hi strong feminine team.
The game was a lively affair.
Douglas guards held Yerington's for
wards down so well that remarks
we're passed among the crowd that II
the rest Of Gardnerville's team were
as good as those three players she
surely must have an excellent team.
The first half stood 14-15 in favor
of Douglas.
The first part Of the second half was
as lively as the first. The second
part was work for Gardnerville for at
the last our girls were tired out, be-
cause Yerington kept putting In fresh
girls all the time and they had the
wind to win. The score at the end Of
te second half stood 1920 in favor of
Yerington. #>
When the boys game was called all
Yerington were on their feet. The
boys were of with a rush. Douglas
was in to win although she had only
three of her regular team playing.
Yerington made the first basket.
Douglas was working brain against
Drawn for she was outweighed thirty
pounds by her opponents and she
knew that team work was the only
way to win. Yerington had no team
work throughout the game.
At the end Of the hotly contested
first half the score was tie SIS.
The crowd was in doubt when the
second half was called who was to
win. Douglas fatigued five kept In
the lead even though every five min
utes fresh man of Yerington was
put in. Douglas was tired but still
she had the undaunted courage that
victory would be hers.
The crowd was mad now for they
didn't think much Of their team II
they couldn't win against our worn
out players. Time out was called be-
fore the last FIVE finutes of the game
and two fresh men of Yerington were
put In. She rallied then and won the
hardest fought basketball game of her
history.
After the game the visiting teams
we're entertained by delicious lunch
con served by the domestic science
class. After the eats q social dance
was enjoyed by all.
The following is the lineup Of the
teams.
