steps at the Methodist church where
she had been attending choir practice,
and landed on the cement walk. Her

wrist and she was cut about the face
and badly bruised. The accident was
due to her misjudging the width OF the
step on account of pair of bi-tocal
glasses she was wearing. The double
glass made the step appear wider then
it really was.

yielded up the ghost and the building
was turned into a dance hall and
skating rink 1t was subsequently
sold and converted into residence pur-
poses.
A Presbyterian church was organ
lied in Potosi in the fall of 1910 by
the Rev. Solomon Ch2ffee and was
known as the First Presbyterian. Ow-
ing to some unexplained and uneX-
plainable, none the less laIaented fact,
no record of the success or failure of
these Calvinists is preserved and
hence the writer IS denied the pleas
ure of such presentation. A small
brick church was built down on Main
street below the Methodist church AMI
near the residence of Orsamus Cole,
now owned and occupied by Andrew
Kaltenbach. The first resident min
lister of this church was Rev. w. E
Boardman who later became famous
as a preacher. He occupied the pulpit
from 1912 to IA. Rev. Calvin Walker
came in 1914 and stayed two years.
Rev H. Freeman came after him, re-
naming two years. Rev. Edward
Morris followed and stayed six years,
from 1850 to SO. He was succeeded
by Rev. E. M. Lewis who remained for
five years Rev. Nicholas Mayne was
resident minister for ten years. He
was succeeded by Rev. Mitchell who
stayed two years. Other ministers
who served this church were D. w.
GiImour, John A. Ball, E. M. Corey,
Aaron Breeze, r. Bennett, w. A. Grit
fifth, D. w. Phillips and others whose
names | am unable TO recall. Rev.
D. B. Welles is the present minister
of the Congregational church. Unde"
the passionate of Rev. d. w. GilmOur,
in 1876 the church was formally
changed from the Presbyterian to the
Congregational The little brick
church continued to be the place Of
worship until 1901 when a cOmmod
ious and handsome new frame edifice
was erected on North street. The
little brick church around the corner,
unlike the Methodist church, never
became a dance hall and since it was
abandoned as place of worship, be-
came private dwelling.
A history Of st. Thomas church il
Potosi was previously written in
chapter of Pioneer Notes. There
are three cemeteries in Potosi, two
belonging to the Catholic church and
one known as the Van Buren, or Prot
estant cemetery. All are held sacred
in the eyes of the people. Two of them
the old Catholic cemetry up the hol-
low back of the church, and the Var
Buren, cemetery, were consecrated in
the very early days of Potosi. But
probably the Oldest cemetery in this
region was laid out on side nill at
Oceola. Many of the first settlers OF
1880, including Major John r. Coons
and wife and other early settlers.
For many years it was kept up in
taste but later was neglected and now
nothing can be seen of the graves
and the lot is forsaken. A board fence
painted white surrounded the lot and
as was customary in those days,
smaller fences surrounded the
smaller fences were placed around
some graves. All of these were des-
troyed by the forest fires that were
frequent in the early days.

BODY
FOUND IN SLOUGH

The body Of Sidney Graves. q
Southern Pacific brakeman who mys-
teriously disappeared from a train
near Palisade, Eureka County. last
Fall, was found by Louis Lemaire
near Argent, a few miles east OF Bat
tie Mountain Monday Lemaire was
hunting ducks when he discovered
the body in a slough. to which place
1t had evidently drifted during the
high water of last Spring, about sew
enty-ive miles from where he was
missed.
Graves disappeared from a moving
freight train in the canyon nea Pal
isade last November. Trainmen ex-
pressed the belief that he had climbed
down the side of a car to look after
a hot box and had been struck by a
bridge and fell from the car into the
river. Search was made for him at
the time. but no trace Of him vas
found.
The body was identified by his
watch and switchman's keys.

o CROP REPORT

The United States Department of
Agriculture under date Of October l
reports Nevada crops as follows:
September was favorable for har-
v~estSand threshing in Nevada. Some
decline in the condition of pasture
and ranges took place. This vas due
to lack of moisture.
Grains generally are not yielding
quite as well as expected. Oats is the
only crop as small as last year. Wheat
production totals $4,000 bushels.
The per cent marketed is reported as
80.
Potatoes are but little changed the
past month. Production this year
promises to be 10 per cent larger
than last year.
Truck crops are only fair. Cab
bages and onions are reported as
yielding only three-fourths a normal
crop. A small acreage of onions was
grown. Tomatoes we're nearly normal.

the proposed legislation in its entir.
ETY. and demanding Of Congress tina,
the bill shall not pass.
The meeting was called to order By
President c. A. knight Of the Chan
Der OF Commerce, DR.. Lincoln of the
University of Nevada acting as secre
tary.
The mining committee OF the cham
Der had prepared a report on the bill.
which had rejected practically every
feature of the proposed Legislation
except that. 1t favored the repeal Of
the apex law and the substitution Of
the provisions recommended in the
bill.
