MANY PREDATORY
ANIMALS KILLED
DURING OCTOBER

The monthly letter sent to the en-
ployees of the United States Biologi-
cal Survey and State Rabies Commits
sion of the Nevada district contains
some interesting data relative to the
work of the commission.
During the month of October Al
hunters worked total of 1196 days,
taking S6S predatory animals; 102
bobcats and 766 coyotes. The aver
age catch per man figured on 81
day basis was 22.5 animals. Contjn-
ued warm weather, 1t is claimed, has
made possible some good catches for
the month. O. G. Woods of WA, Me-
vada is high man for the month with
a catch OF 3 bobcats and 36 coyotes;
Floyd McTimmons, Flanagan, Neva-
la, was second with a catch of 81
coyotes and 1 bobcat and ]. w.
Niece third with bobcats and 33
coyotes. Nineteen Others made
catches of 23 or better while one
hunter worked the full month with
only three predatory animals to his
credit. The letter mentions that the
latter will no be employed to hold
down the general average another
month.
Three new men were employed for
November work. They were Thos.
Fault, Eureka, Nevada; Joe Ander-
son, Mesuite, Nevada and Will Keele,
Panaca, Nevada.

PAHRUMP VALLEY
DRILLING WELLS
FOR IRRIGATION

The Pahrump district is rapidly
gaining in popular favor as an agrl-
cultural district, says the Tonopah
Times. The announcement that the
artesian well upon which drilling
was started a few weeks ago had
encountered flow of water approxi-
.nfting 72 miners inches, means that
the valley is destined to become one
of the most prolific agricultural and
producing sections in the west.
This great flow of water, which
will have an irrigating capacity OF
$50 acres of the most fertile land in
this state, was encountered at a
depth of approximately 400 feet, and
has already proved an incentive for
owners of land in that section to
proceed with the drilling of wells to
secure water for irrigation purposes.
The Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad
company has in process of drilling
five wells at the Leland experimental
station and no great distance from
the holdings of the Pahrump Valley
Ranch company, and it is hoped tc
strike flow of water in compare
lively short time.
The flowing we'll which has beer
encountered is located one mile
south Of the land owned by the Pah
rump Vallay Rance Co., of which
Fred Shoup serves as superintendent
1t is stated that numerous wells will
be started by owners of land in tha
vicinity in the near future.

"KINGS" WHO NEVER RElGNED
Two Frenchmen Born to HlQh Place
Were Forbidden by Destiny to
Occupy Their Thrones.

French history records at least two
"kings'' who never sat on the throne
Of the proud BOurbonS.
The first was the unhappy Louis
XVII, the Lost Dauphin," second son
of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette,
victims Of the Revolution. After the
guillotining of his parents he became
natural heir to the throne. His fate
was a most pitiful one, according to
chroniclers, for he was delivered by
the Revolutionists over to brutal
shoemaker and ultimately died Of
neglect.
After his death a multitude Of
claimants to the French throne arose,
some claiming to be the dauphin him
self, others the next of kin. It was
even rumored that the dauphin had
escaped to America and lived there in
the person of one Eleazor Williams,
an Episcopal minister.
Another thrOreieSS king" was Ma
poleon Francis Charles Joseph Bona
parte, known as Napoleon II, only son
of the illustrious Napoleon l and
Marie Louise. On his second "abdi-
cation" after Waterloo, Napoleon l
told the senate: Il abdicate in favor
of my son. But the French senate
took no notice of Napoleon II and
called to the throne Louis XVIII, last
Of the Bourbon line. ThereupOn, Ma
poleon II, then but four years old,
was taken by his mother to Vienna,
where her father still reigned as en-
peror of Austria.
By the treaty Of Paris, three years
later, it was decreed that Napoleon
II should never inherit the domain
of his mother. AS recOmpense he
was created duke Of ReichStadt, with
the rank Of Austrian prince. He died
as a result of violent exercise, in his
twenty-drst year, and was inferred in
the royal tomb at Vienna.
