IOIIlOELO" ~ IN AtAAA
Battlesburg did not believe IN ZAP
i'd transit until the arrival of j. Ru-
fus Wallingford and "Blackie" Daw.
Then the changes in the town were
SO rapid that its Oldest inhabitants
did not know whether they were on
their head or their feet. This trans
formation is admirably portrayed in
"Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford." q
Cosmopolitan production for Para
mount which will be shown at the
Ditmas theatre, tomorrow. Friday
and Saturday.
This excellent perturbation OF
George M. Cohan's famous stage
success is an admirable one. The
excitement caused by the arrival OF
the two adventures makes an inter-
esting story. 'Blackie" Daw, por-
trayed by Norman Kerry, proceeds
20. Battlesburg in advance Of his
guiding genius, j. Rufus Walling-
ford. He announces to the inhabi-
tants that MI. Wallingford. the great
capitalist, Is looking for another
city to. transform into a metropolis.
Mr.. Wallingford arrives, takes In
the situation and the rubes are taken
in by him. How his schemes are
turned into honest prosperity Tor
Wallingford and the townspeopie,
makes q story that il absorbing and
amusing from first to last.
Sam Hardy is admirable as j. Ru-
fus Wallingford. Doris Kenyon is
a hotel st~enographer who becomes
Wallingford's private secretary ana
later his wife. The rest of the cast

motive power came largely from within
the speculative machine itself. The

STILL AFTER
MARY'S GOAT
ATTORNEY GENERAL ASKS
FOR RE-HEARING OF
DIVORCE CASE

Attorney General Fowler of Nevada
Tuesday filed a petition In the state
supreme court asking that tribunal for
a rehearing of its recent decision up
holding the divorce of Mary Pickford
and Owen Moore, motion picture stars.
The petition of the attorney general
replied to the decision that a section
of the Nevada statutes directing the
attorney general to protect the inter-
ests of the state was inapplicable to
the present case. saying:
"The interest of the state In q d.
vorce case existed prior to the adop-
tion of the section involved. The Lam
guage of the section makes 1t the duty
OF the attorney general to commence
action and defend actions to protect
and secure the interests of the state"
Fowler claimed that "the mere fact
that the statute has not been previ-
ously utilized by the attorney general
for the purpose of endeavoripg to set
aside a fraudulent divorce decree can
not affect the statute ITSELF A failure
to exercise the power or a declination
or omission to perform duty under
the statute cannot impair the statute

.MONOLAKERICH
in GOLD VALUES

Several outfits are at Mono Lake
experimenting with processes to re-
move the billions upon billions OF
gold values from the waters of that
great inland sea. That the waters of
Mono Lake carry high values in gold
was proved to the absolute satisfac-
tion of Judge Parker in a suit insti-
tuted in Mono county last year when
an investor endeavored to prove that
he had been defrauded by COM
pany organized for the purpose OF
erecting plant to remove gold from
the waters of Mono Lake
At that time one of the leading
members of the company wanted his
lawyer to try the case behind closed
doors, In order to prevent the public
from gaining knowledge of the vast
ness of the gold floating in the Mono
Lake waters. From assays made by
his marine miner and calculating up
on the tonnage of water in the lake.
he figured that through the operation
of big plant, it would be only
few years that this great store of
gold would entirely upset the none
tary system of the world and that
from the over-supply the precious
metal would be as cheap as dirt.
According to Sheriff Dolan, who
was visitor from Bridgeport this
week, parts of the lake waters do not
assay as high as others. Water taxi
en- from one part of the lake assayed
only 80 per ton, while at more fav-
ored locations values go as high as
$500. All that is required OF a min
er at Mono Lake is a boat and an
electrical outfit. The miners there
have discarded their burros and are
doing their prospecting from the seat
of improvised row-boats and If all re-
ports are true, gold will soon be as
common as campaign funds were
twenty years ago.

MINING ACTIVITY
in THISCOUNTY

II. George Cress arrived last eve-
ming from Mountain House, near
where he has been working a group
of claims for w. Mayer of this city,
with sample of apparently high grade
ore taken from a six-foot ledge. The
samples were being assayed today.
The find was made just over a ridge
from the Minnehaha canyons. where q
discovery was made two weeks ago.
In the district there are three veins
giving assays running from few dol
lars ton to $500 a ton. The main
vein is OH claim owned by the dis
coverers Of the district. and In a
twelve-foot shaft the ledge Is eleven
feet wide and gives an average assay
across the eleven feet Of $2S per ton.
Kane. Blake and Morgan are holders
of the most promising ground In the
district.
An offer of 100000 has been made
by San Francisco parties to these dis
coverers for four claims with the pro-
vision that assays must run as high
when the twelve-foot shaft has reach
ed depth of $50 feet.
The district Is alive with prospec-
tors and owners of ground. who are
developing their properties. according

TO RECLAIM
DAYTON LAND

The latest company to file incor-

OF this state Is OF more than passing
INTEREST," this city and district is
the Dayton Land and Development
Company, capitalized at one hundred
thousand dollars, and organized for
the purpose of reclaiming several
thousand acres of sagebrush land in
Lyon county. While the land to be
reclaimed Is in Lyon county II is
only fifteen miles from Carson City
and its development will mean con-
siderable additional business for this
city.
The company has already contract
ed with the Nevada Well Drilling
Company OF this city for a 12-inch
wella nd the new outfit recently ship
ped here Is already on the ground
and the big auger going down after
the water that will irrigate the first
farm to be offered for sale by the
new development company.
The incorporators of the new COM
pany are p. ]. Quilici and T. s.
Clark of Dayton, and A. b. Gray of
this city. The list of officers has not
yet been filed with the secretary of
state but 1t is understood that p. ].
Quilici of Dayon will be the president
and general manager of the COM
pany, and the name of DR.. F. w.
Hodgins OF Virginia City will appear
among the list of directors.
The company plans to subdivide
about three thousand acres OF as fine
land as can be found In the state into
so acre farms. The power line of the
Truckee River General Electric COM
pany will be extended SO as to fur
nish cheap power for pumps to be
installed at various points. 1t Is
known that there is plenty OF water
to be had and that wells can be bored
and cased at nominal cost. The
latest style of pump for irrigation
purposes will be installed.
While Dayton will reap the great
est benefit, Carson City will be bene-
fitted directly. and much additional
property will be added to the grow
