August 10Th has been set as the. date
for starting operations with the dredg
ing plant at Johnstown, below Cold
Hill and Silver City. Invitations
have been issued to many to be present
when the juice is turned on to start

dertaken in Nevada.
Gov Boyle will be present, while
many intimates oi the Bulkley Wells
interests will make the journey to
Nevada to see the first gold mined by
machinery. Z
The work OF construction and sam
ping has been going on for over a
year while it has required the un-
watering o. several old mining shafts
to furnish the water to float and oper-
ate the dredge.

The sale of the ground to Denver IN

and DIR. Raye, who haye held onto it
for quarter q. a century. Several
attempts to place dredgers have been
undertaken. but lack of enough money
to see it throurh has been the finish of
each undertaking, The war upset one

After being assured in open court
that i'll presenting a resolution to
the county commissioners criticising
the method in which the Washoe
County grand jury was drawn they
had no intention OF casting any re-
Election on the court or grand jury
for bringing them into contempt or
odium, District Judge Moran dismissed
contempt proceedings against Mrs Bes
sic Eichelberger, Mrs. Maude Ed
wards and Mrs. Mary Franzman, says
the Reno Gazette
The expression OF the women, Civ
en- individually, came at the end q an
argument, made by ]. Nj. Frame to
to quash the contempt citation. Near
the close of his remarks, Attorney
Frame said he was certain that the
resolution which the women signed
as members of womcn's organiza-
tions was not intended to cast any
reflection OH the court orbring it
into disrespect Judge Moran then
said ii the evidence bore out this
statement he would dismiss the pro-
ceedings at once. He then asked
the women to express their views on
the matter.

posed to the United States Reclama-
ton Service that reservoir with a
storage capacity Of 100000 acre feet
Of water be built on the Truckee river
watershed to conserve the Hood wa

lists from the necessity Of depending
on LakeTahoe storage The cost of
the scheme is estimated at $3000,OOO.
