sam AREN'T WAS
HERE SATURDAY

Sam Arentz, Nevada's Representa-
tive in Congress, accompanied by his
wife and children, were in Gardner
Vile Saturday enroute to their home
in Smith Valley from Washington,
d. C.
While here Mr.. Arentz was little
concerned with politics and the ap-
preaching election, but displayed great
anxiety to reach his farm and fireside
In Smith Valley from which he has
been absent for some time. There is
no place like home" declared Mr..
Arentz, and 1t will seem good to get a
short rest from congressional duties
before returning to Washington.
Congressman Arentz has labored
hard for the best interests of Nevada
while in Washington and is deeply ap-
preciative of the great trust placed in
him by the people of Nevada He now

BUYS A
PIANO BOX AND
FINDS STILL

Sheriff Nielsen has been quite act
i've during the past few months In
his quest for stills. but last week he
found one when he least expected.
The sheriff bought plano box that
has stood at the rear OF Gardner
vile building for months for the
purpose of shipping a plano to his
family at Woodland. Cal. Opening
the box he found that he had not
only purchased box but q honest
to-goodness still had been thrown In
for good measure.
1t is absolutely certain that the
owner OF the box did not know that
the still was hidden here, or 1t
would have been removed before the
sheriff took possession OF the box. II
is believed that the owner Of the
still hid 1t in the box pending the
time that arrangements could be
made to put It In operation at some
remote section in this Vicinity. How
ever, the sheriff's need OF a piano box
and the apparent scarcity in this
locality. 1t being the only box Of its
kind In Gardnerville. ended the busi-
ness expectations Of some unknown
moonshiner at q time when Jack"
Is becoming quite difficult to get in
this community. That Is. II Is re-
ported hard to get; personal know
ledge of this difficulty Is wholly
lacking In this respect.

MASONIC ORE
WAS ATTACHED
ATTITUDE OF MINE OWN.
ERS IN CONTINUED
FRICTION RESULTS
IN GREAT INJURY
TO CAMP

Sheriff Dolan OF Mono county. was
an arrival from San Francisco Monday
where he was called some time ago In
an attachment case involving the own
ership of some $4,000 worth of ore
taken from a mine at Masonic Con-
siderable of the ore gave returns of
$1,000 per ton, according TO the smelt-
er.
While Ii Is regretted that SO valu-
able and promising mining property Is
tied up through the wrangling of the
owners, the information concerning
the rich ore that has been taken from
the mine at Masonic can no longer be
doubted because II has been a proved
fact by court records of the attach
ment suit.
Almost since the early discovery of
the camp first one law suit and then
another has involved every producing
property that has been developed and
many believe that under ordinary con-
ditions that have marked the progress
OF many of the leading mining towns
OF Nevada, Masonic would have rank
ed with the best of producing districts
in the west. Unquestionable. the camp
Is trayersed by lodges carrying high
values in gold and silver and when
the time arrives that law suits and
pickering ceases and the owners con-
tent themselves with developing the
highly mineralized lodes. that camp

In the West.

GOLD SLUCS OF
EARLY DAYS
FOUND GENOA

That the old Overland Trail would
be good place to prospect is the
opinion Of many Genoa people since
the finding OF two chunks OF gold this
week, which were probably exposed
by the heavy rains of few days ago.
Ward Jacobs. working In the Rcd
mond-Page gravel pit. four miles be-
low Genoa, picked up a chunk or slug
of gold worth $500. Upon close ex-
animation 1t was found that the chunk
of gold bore the date of 1884. Another
piece of like value, dated 1885 was
found In Genoa few weeks ago.

DIR. CHURCH ON
STREAM SURVEY

Rnn-off from the water sheds from
which Nevada derives its moisture
during the summer season, still Is be-
low normal. due to a deficiency OF
temperatures and of late precipitation,
according to Prof. ]. f. Churchs lat
est bulletin on seasonal snow survey
and forecast of stream fiow," just is
sued. Dealing with what is known as
the Central Sierra Quadrangle. the re-
port says:
Although the run-off for May
slightly exceeded or closely approach
ed the percentage indicated by the
snow cover. the run-off during April
May combined is still considerably de-
ficient. Since the precipitation
for April-June still continues from
twenty to thirty-eight per cent def
cient in all basins except the Walker,
where the precipitation appears to be
normal. the reduction in the estimated
, run-off of ten per cent for river basins
and twenty per cent for Lake Tahoe
in the May forecast may well be re-
tanned.
Indeed the percentage of snow re-
naming on the ground June / repre-
sents approximately the amount OF
run-off still expected. thus indicating
that the key stations are fairly repre-
sentative of their entire basins. The
only exception is the Mokelumne,
whose key station at Blue Lakes $4,000
feeU is too high to represent the ratio
at lower elevations.
For the Central Sierra Quadrangle
In general, sixty to eighty per cent OF
the normal run-off for April-July, ex-
cept such portion as may be held into
August by temperature conditions, may
be expected.
However, for the Walker basin, In
which no key station has yet been es-
tablished. but whose elevation is con-
siderably higher than that of the sta
tions farther north. the residue of run
off is still lis per cent OF the seasonal
normal"
Conditions at Lake Tahoe and the
run-off forecast as seen by DIR. Church
are told as follows;
"On June 13. aided by the heavy
thunderstorm that prevailed through
out Northern Nevada and precipitsted
0.43 of an inch of water at Tahoe City,
Lake Tahoe has risen to the level of
6226.77. However, despite the storage
of 56.S per cent of SHOWS that still re-
NAMED on its water shed, Increasing
evaporation will make it impossible
for the lake to continue rising after
the middle or end Of July, for the nor
NAL excess OF evaporation over the
rise of the lake in August is $4,000
acre feet, an insuperable handicap
when compared with the probable in
flow of $4,000 acre feet. Even during
July the rise of Tahoe will be slight,
judging from It's rise of 0.33, 0.12 and
005 feet during the similar heavy
years of 1901. 1924 and 1856.
However, the present approach to nor
NAL precipitation In the basin indi-
Gates a maximum level somewhat
above the conservative estimate of
6227.20 feet, but below the probable
maximum of 622754 feet.
The probable flow of $50 second
feet in the Truckee during July
should make 1t possible to keep the
gates of the dam closed until August

ature does not deplete the snow

PROMISE
A WINNING TEAM

On the first few days of spring
weather during the past week the Yer
'ington baseball players have been put
ting III the first of an intensive spring
training campaign. Ball fans who
haye sized up the material for ball
team here this season state that the
opportunity for securing team which
will be able to outplay anything in the
state is excellent. The best of last
years nine are still here and with the
influx of new material incident TO
highway and street work new players
can undoubtedly be secured. Fred
Woods, OF the Ycrington grammar
school, is taking an active interest i'll
the team. Mr. Woods is a fast
player himself, and is also an expert
enced coach. Dickinson, Wilson and
Perry, who did excellent work in the
infield are still here. and it is probable
that Whitacre will be back when the
highway work commences. West
and MLcod are ever with us, and
always dependable, and there is plenty
of other available material to make a
winning aggregation.
