This highway wends through the
deserts and mountains for a distance
of one hundred miles and Is extreme

REPORT is FALSE WHICH SAYS
GRAND PRIZE NINE WAS SOLD

The report that the Grand Prize
group of mining claims in the Tus-
carora district has been sold to Los
Angeles parties Is denied by those
men here who are in a position to
know, says the Elko Free Press.
They say that some weeks ago a min
ing engineer by the name of o. w.
Jackson, representing Sill & Sill of
Los Angeles, went to T~uscarora to
make an examination. When he re-
turned to Elko he told interested par
ties that he was so pleased with the
appearance of the property that he
would recommend that his people
take II over.
At that time 2. F. Wheeler, owner
of the properties, gave him an OPP
ton, which expired on the first OF
December. The price fixed by Mr..
Wheeler was $1,000 0 and he was
to receive regular payments besides
he initial payment on December l.;
but when hat date arrived the option
was not taken up and consequently
the sale is of.
1t is said that the reason why the
option was not taken up was due to
the deep snow and bad roads, which
made operations impossible at this
time of the year. and that 1t was
likely the deal would be reopened and
the property taken over next spring,
as the engineer was very favorably
impressed.

PENITENTIARY POPULATION
INCREASED BY MORE MEN

The three Mexicans who were
brought to Elko from Wells a few
days ago, charged with robbing a box
car on the Southern Pacific. appeared
in district court Thursday on an in
formation filed by District Attorney
Castle, says the Free Press. Owing
to the youth of one of the defendants.
Francisco Munoz, who is nineteen
years of age, the charge vas dis
missed in district court and a charge
brought against him in justice court,
to which he entered a plea of guilty.
He was sentenced by Judge Doughty
to sixty days in the county Jail.
The two other men, Ramon Nunos
and Nubes Hernandez, entered pleas
of guilty and were sentenced to the
penitentiary for a term of not less
than five years. The men were
charged with breaking into and steal
ing canned goods from a boxcar in
the Wells yards.

RENO JUDGE TIGHTENS RULE
OF TESTIMONY FOR DIVORCE

Several attorneys and their clients
received shocks In district court at
Reno when Judge Lunsford gave out
a new policy of requiring corrobora-
tive evidence to the effect that appli-
cants for divorce have been in Reno

months, says the Gazette. Heretofore
the court has been satisfied with evil
dence by witnesses who may have
been able to swear they hav seen
plaintiffs on an average OF three or
four times a week during the resi-
dence period.

COLLEGE FRESHMEN NEVER
HEARD OE CHRIST.

Seven girls from the Freshman class
of a college in Koyto, Japan, recently
attended an AT Home" held by Miss
Inez Crawford, a Y. w. c. a. secretary
residing in that city. The party was
supposed to be a purely social affair,
and Miss Crawford was much sur
prised when several of her Japanese
guests produced Bibles, and announced
that they wished TO ask some ques-
tions. Her surprise grew at the ap-
parent stupidity which they evidenced
as the conversation progressed. They
seemed quite unable to understand her
simplest remarks.
Finally it occurred to her that per-
haps she as taking too much for grant
ed in the way Of previous information
in her hearers. How many of you
have studied the life of Christ before p"
she asked. Nobody had. How many
have ever heard about Christ at alp"
she continued. One girl had heard a
very little. They had merely heard that
there was a new religion which was
not presented in their college course.
and with the simple directness of the
true seeker after wisdom, had gone
directly to the nearest person who
could explain it to them.
