HAD QUITE AN EXPERIENCE

w. ]. Hunting, state superintendent
of public instruction, had rather
unpleasant experience on his way
home from the eastern part of the
state.
A man was aboard with smallpox
and was removed from the train at
Elko. AT Reno when the passengers
made ready to leave the train, they
were informed they must wait for the
health officer, and when he arrived
they were taken to the pest house and
necessary precautions to prevent
the spread of the disease.
Mr. Hunting was given a pair OF
overalls and sweater several sizes
too small Not caring to wear these
home he telephoned Mrs Hunting
who went by auto to Reno carrying
the necessary raiment.
All his personal effects we're kept
to be fumigated before returning them
to him.
California and Oregon have been
having smallpox within their borders
for the past few months and with the
disease in Utah it stands the authori-
ties in hand to take every precaution
to keep it from gaining foothold
in this state. Appeal

Mining at Marietta

Captain Whiting, president of the
Black Mountain mine at Marietta, is
in Reno on business connected with
his property at Marietta. He also is
interested in the Sultana group, which
lies on the same vein fractures, one
mile west of the Black Mountain
Captain Whiting said he had Just
completed survey of the Sultana
group, where he found evidence OF
large high grade production in the
past and considerable ore on the
dump which should prove valuable for
milling now He suggested tunnelling
from a gulch at the lower level
in an effort to striks the ore vein be-
low former workings and at a depth of
about 200 feet below the surface. Ac-
cording TO surveys. less than 500 feet
OF the tunnel will be necessary TO en-
ter the high grade shoot and he
believes that continuing the tunnel
will tap other shoots Of high grade
ore.

Reno Man Owner

A. F. Price OF Reno is the owner
OF the group and has received two
offers for the property. While c7nsid-
ering the offers, he also contemplates
the organization of company to
proceed with developing
The Marietta mines now operating
are all in valuable ore" said Captain
Whiting. "A trial shipment of forty
sacks from the Black Mountain mine
assayed more than 500 to the ton
The company has more than fifty
tons of shipping ore on the dump,
but will not begin regular shipments
until the roals are completed in the
spring"
Results Expected
while no official reports have been
made" he continued, very important
results have been obtained on other
properties in that vicinity. The camp
is very active at present, in spite of
severe weather, and the coming of the
spring will see real boom.
"We do not say in Marietta that we
will sink couple of hunlred feet and
then drift hundred feet or two to
where we expect to find ore; we say
that we are sinking in ore and it as
says SO and so, and we are shipping
high-grade ores.
ITO a real mining man Marietta
offers return for his efforts and all
in the camp welcome the 1egimate
developers and will extend such help
as may be possible to them, 1t is
mans camp with its difficulties,
therefore it is hoped that promoters
who deal in sagebrush will finl the
shedding hard after he crosses Gran
ite Pass.

last week, and Miller Brothers is to
soon follow with more high-grade."

FEW STREET ORGANS HEARD
"TaIking Machines" Have Largely

The street organ, like the hanson
cab and the frock coat, is knocking on

why did the music on wheels vanish7
Some say the war took back to Italy

money elsewhere.
But man who sells talking ma

Press.
Everybody now has canned music
In his own home and wants none

Judging from the sounds one hears

THE FIVE VICE COMMANDERS
New Legion officers Are Particularly
Well Fitted for the Places
They Hold.

The national constitution Of the
American Legion calls for the election
of FIVE vice commanders, no two from
the same state and not more than
three from among the men who served
In the army. The men chosen by the
recent Legion convention not only fill
the above requirements but are Pc

HIS MANNER WAS "STRANGE"
But Under English Law Wife Was
Denied Divorce From Briton
Who Threw Hot Tarts.

The wife Of an English movie pro-
Queer. one William Thomas Wilson,
became quite put out the other day by
what the London Telegraph describes
as the "strange manner" Of her hus-
band. She took the matter into court
and asked separation.
Wilson was wont to throw the tea
pot at her as she lay in bed, she said,
and, to quote the Telegraph, "he
would frequently come home late and
play the cornet all night long, until
every one in the house went nearly
mad. When he wanted to annoy her
he always started on one of his non
stop CONTEMPLATING episodes, first re-
marking: Now I'm going to give you
hell's delight"
Another annoying little habit of her
husband to which Mrs. Wilson object
cd was that of throwing boiling hot"
jam tarts at her. Occasionally, too,
when his spirits were particularly
volatile" he would kick her out of
bed and force her to sleep on the
floor. His financial contributions to
the support of her and their little
daughter were somewhat meager-S5
and the rent.
In view of these little oddities Mrs.
Wilson thought she should be given a
separation. The magistrate listened
sympathetically to her complaint. He
admitted "the defendant seemed to
have used good deal of pictorial
language" and he might have been a
bit hasty in some Of his acts, but his
honor could not see that the wife had
been the victim of persistent cruelty"
Mrs. Wilson probably had suffered a
good deal of "moral cruelty" but he
really couldn't see that she was de-
serving of her freedom.

Rats Protect River Banks.

One of the latest developments In
river bank protection is that Of flexi-
BILE RATS anchored In position but free
to give with the rise and fall of the
water which is now being tried on the
east bank Of the. Missouri river near
Folsom, Ia.
The RATS are built Of logs and are
not only strong and durable, but ex-
ceedingly flexible in every direction.
The handling of the RATS was simpli-
fled by building them on barges which
were towed to the location desired,
where the RATS were made fast by
cables running from the centers and
joints to anchor piles, each pile hold
ing two sections and the barges pulled
out from under them, old boiler flues
threaded on light cables being used
as rollers. Reinforced concrete piles
were used for anchors. 1t Is expected
that these RATS will take the place
or at least render more permanent
the far more expensive installations
of mattresses, strong dykes and other
forms of revetments.
