and also yearnings for the farm came
TO him. He saw opportunities OF do

in his farm operations. which he IN
derstood so well.
John Holland was a man Of serious
thought and purpose. and until his
early manhood had passed. had no
room for sentiment. He broOded some

To Our Readers

How many objects the names of which begin
with the letter 'P" can you find in this picture?
It's a big game in which everybody can take
part. Who can find the most such objects? Take a
pencil and get busy. Everyone in the home, Pa,
Ma, Bobby, Mary Ann, Grandma and Uncle Bill.
First see who gets the most at home. Then combine
your list and send in the big list to The Register
office and if your list has the largest number of
correct words you get a prize of $500.
But if with your answer you send in $3.50 for
one years subscription to The Register you get
$500. If you send in two subscriptions you get
$500 as first prize; and if you send in three sub
s%c1iptions including one new subscription you get
$500: and if you send in four subscriptions, in
GLIDING two news ones, you will receive $4,000.
See table of prizes elsewhere in this announcement.
There is no hitch or trick to this puzzle. 1t is
easy and above board. It's the contestant with the
sharpest eyes that will find the most objects and
win the big prize.
1t costs nothing to try in the first class. You

ELKO PRINCE MILL BURNED

The quartz mill owned by the Elko
Prince Mining Company in the camp
of Gold Circle was burned to the
ground about 5 O'Clock Tuesday
morning, says the Star of Winnemuc-
ca. This news was brought here We'd
nesday and from what could be
learned the fire started from the ex-
plosion of a tank of gasoline which
became ignited by a miners lamp.
According to our informant the
mill buildings were completely de-
stroyed and only a small part of the
equipment was saved.
1t was a cyanide plant and by quick
action of the men present the con-
tents of the precipitate tank contain
ing a large amount of gold vas saved.
The plant was installed about six
years ago and has been operating
steadily on rich ore from the Elko
Prince mine, which is the deepest
mine in the district. The destruction
of the mill is a big loss to the camp,
as many of the residents of the dis
trict work for the company.

CURRENT CREEK
WATER ADJUDICATION

Adjudication of water rights along
Currant Creek, in Nye County, has
been prepared by the State Engineer
and will be submitted to Judge Aver
i'll for approval at Tonopah, August
18th, says the Carson News. 1t is
anticipated that the hearing before
the Judge will be of unusual interest
because of certain phases of the Ne
vada water law which will at that
time be presented for confirmation.
II is understood hat the adjudication
worked out is really an amicable set
Element of long standing differences
of water users along the stream.
In considering the Currant Greek
case State Engineer Scrugham found
a copy of the Territorial Enterprise
of date of September 9, 1875, of in
terest. The entire news space of the
front page of that issue, consisting of
more than four columns, was filled
with Chief Justice Hawley's Supreme
Court decision in the case of Richard
Barnes, appellant, VS.. Joseph Sabron
ct ais, defendants. The decision re-
versed a lower court judgment in
favor of the defendants and ordered
the cause remanded for a trial.
The action had been brought for the
recovery of damages for the alleged
unlawful diversion of Currant Creek
waters during specified months of the
year 1873.
Mr.. Scrugham states that while he
was on one of his trips to the Cur
rant Creek district to get first-hand
information and data for use in the
adjudication he interviewed an elder
ly lady, long a resident in that sec
ton. Suddenly n of the lady's
deaf and dumb sons, who was pres
ent, made signs to his mother. He
says that we have somewhere in the
house an old paper that tells all
the lady told Mr.. Scrugham. A
search was made at the time but
without success. Soon after his re-
turn to the Office the old copy of the
Enterprise was received by the en-
gineer with a note explaining that it
was the paper referred to by the on.
1t was evident that the young man,
who had been educated and taught
to read, 1t the time of Mr.. Scrug-
hams visit instantly remembered hav-
ing read the paper long forgotten by
the other members of the family,
when told the reason for the call.
The prominence of position given
the decision in the columns of the
Enterprise indicates that the water
case must have been of great interest
to the residents of Nevada at that
early date, especially when it is con-
sidered that Virginia City was the
worlds great mining center and not
in an agricultural community.

Two hundred and fifty barrels of
confiscated "moonshine' was poured
into the sewer by the sheriff of White
Pine County last Wednesday. The
liquor was dumped out of it's cou-
tanners in the presence of many oun
ty officials.
Eighteen employees of the cement
plant al Ludwig were rendered dan
gerously i'll by croton oil put in the
food by a discharged employe. The
Nevada industrial commission has
ruled that the men are not entitled
to compensation since the injury was
o received in the course of regular
work.
One of the largest deals that has
taken place in Elko County in some
time was the sale of the j. l.. Win
ter ranch near Whiterock, which was
sold to Carat & Co. for 100000. The
property, one that has been brought
to a high state of cultivation, con-
sists of 1860 acres of rich land, the
greater portion under irrigation, and
the buildings and ranch equipment
are of the best.

CITY
MINERS ON STRIKE

One hundred and twenty-five min
ers have gone out on strike as a re-
suit of a change in shift hours at the
Gold Hill mines of the United Com
stock Company. according to reports
received Monday from Gold Hill. The
men who walked out comprise about
one-third of the underground work
ers at the property, 1t is said.
The change In shifts compels the
miners to go into and emerge from
the mine on their own time, it is re-
ported. and it is this fact that caused
all the dissatisfaction. Heretofore
the mines have been operated on a
~three-shift basis and the new system
installed calls for the elimination OF
one shift. Under this plan the work.
ers are expected to be underground
the full eight hours and do not use
any of this time in going to or leav-
ing their work.
Following the walkout the miners
met and formulated a demand on the
owners of the property for a fiat SIS
daily wage for all underground work
ers. The rate now prevailing is So
for miners and $3.50 for muckers.
There are $50 men employed .un-
derground at the mines.
The Gold Hill Miners Union did
not participate in the demands, the
reports state, and are not connected
with the strike movement, as they
are now working under an agree
ment with the mine owners drawn up
some time ago. The strikers are
said to be men not belonging to the
Gold Hill local.

PREDATORY ANIMAL
REPORT FOR MARCH

Excellent progress vas made on
the part of the Biological Survey dur
ing the past month in its war upon
predatory animals Of the State. The
following letter tells Of the activities
of the month:
During the month "a hunters
worked a total of 939 days taking
319 true predatory animals: 81 bob
cats and 255 coyotes. There were
also taken 20 fur bearing animals. In
addition to the above there were de-
stroyed 80 unborn coyote pups and
ii unborn bobcat kits making a to-
tai Of 400 predatory animals de-
stroyed.
Weather conditions were a little
more favorable during March than in
February and our catch shows con-
siderable improvement. In going over
our reports we find that about two
thirds of the animals were taken with
poison and with the improved meth
DDS of distributing II around stations
so as to keep the coyotes in the local
ity for a time after the bats were
taken we have been able to find many
more Of the poisoned animals.
George e. Cox, Strawberry, White
Pine County. Nevada. is high man for
the month taking 20 true predatory
animals. Mr.. Cox is a new man and
he m to us highly recommended
and his work shows that he under
stands his business. Second place
was tied by j. j. Grimes working in
Lyon County and Ollie Cox working
in Eureka County by taking 23 pred
atory animals each. Assistant In
spector r. w. Stewart working in
Washoe County also took 23 preda-
tory animals in addition to his other
duties. F. B. Crofut also of Eureka
County took 81 predatory animals
including ore that we failed to give
him credit for in the month of Feb
ruary. Mr.. Crofut sent in a wonder
full picture of Z coyotes that he picked
up at one of his position stations and
he so posed them that they looked
very life like.
Others who took the average and
better are: N. j. Haden, Nye County
Is; o. A. Tolman, Elko County Is;
G. C. Friel, Washoe County Ia; Geo.
Vannoy, Elko County IL; Thomas
Fault, of Eureka County IL, and Carl
Washoe County 10.
We note that a few of the hunters
are still numbering badgers. AS the
badger is not a predatory animal we
would prefer that they do not num-
Der them unless the skin is of some
value for a fur. At this season of the
year the furs are becoming badly
rubbed and shedding and it will only
be necessary to take the scalps in
Guiding the ears and the entire face
of predatory animals until September
LIST, unless you find an animal that
carries fur of some market value,
then they should be skinned and the
skin sent in.
We are anxious to get some au-
thentic information in regard to an
telope in the State of Nevada. We
would like for each hunter that has
seen any punches of antelope to write
us giving the location and al near as
possible the number ranging in each
locality and also advise us If they are
on the increase or decrease. This in
formation should be thoroughly re-
liable and only give us what you can
youch for.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
THE PASSING OF ARBUcKLE

Tonopah Times: Fatty Arbuckle
has been acquitted by the third jury
entrusted with the responsibility OF
deciding his guilt or innocence. Inc
acquittal was emphatic. BY unani-
nous vote the jury agreed that the
evidence did lot warrant conviction
for manslaughter. SO impressed were
the Jurors with the testimony that
the foreman personally rendered an
apology to the big comedian for the
suffering entailed during the long
drawn-out hearings. Under b cir
cumstances the foreman should have
gone a step further by recommending
impeachment Of the prosecution for
having dared impugn the motives OF
the prisoner at bar. This would have
completed the travesty and been a
fitting finale for the trial that thrilled
