MAN INJURED WHEN
DYNAMITE EXPLODES

Guillesmo Serugarris, a sheep man
of Butte valley, was taken to the
White Pine general hospital suffer-
ing from injuries caused by an ex-
plosion of dynamite.
He was carrying the powder in
his pocket with nails and in some
way the powder went off and blew
two holes in his left hip. The in
jured man was alone when the ac-
cident occurred and he had to walk
five miles under the most trying cir
cumstances in order to summon aid.
In his struggle to cover this dist
ance, he fell repeatedly, as he be-
came weaker and weaker from the
loss Of blood. Only through un-
yielding determination and grit was
it possible for Serugarris to make it
to Odger's house.
He was brought by Odger to the
hospital, after making a flying trip
by auto, covering a distance of 100
miles. DR.. Rand, assisted by Mrs.
kirkham, matron of the hospital,
performed an operation Immediately
upon the arrival of the patient and
he is reported as resting much

S. P. LENCTHENS ITS
SIDINCS IN NEVADA

Following closely upon word that
the Southern Pacific-Western Pa
ciic double tracking arrangement
will be carried over for another
year at least, information has been
received that the Southern Pacific
is increasing the length of its sid
ings on the Salt Lake division. The
siding at Toyn is at present being
heightened by 500 feet and new
steel is being laid by the company
in the vicinity of Osina.
Crews of Southern Pacific engi-
neers have been engaged in sur
veying new sidings for the past
six weeks and considerable con-
struction work to install these i'm
provements will go on through the
summer.
The purpose of this work is to
afford additional room for the handl-
ing of freight over the present line.
The additional trackage capacity af-
fords opportunity for the handling
of larger freight trains and elimi-
mates delays in the passenger sched-
ule, because of the increased facili-
ties for freights to take a siding to
get off the main line. -Elko In,

OLD TIME MURDER
MYSTERY SOUGHT

Very recently the officers of
Madero, Calf, have had under OBJ
ssrvation man believed to have
been connected with a murder in
this county between the year of
1895 and 1900 and have written
to the officials to ascertain if a
murder was committed here at that
time, with no arrests being made.
From the letter received by this
Douglas county officers it appears
that the murder suspect has lived
in a secluded place in the hills near
Madero for the past fifteen years.
TO neighbors it is believed that he
dropped hints about being impli-
Gated in murder in Douglas coun-
ty in 1895 or thereabouts.
On May 8, 1895 one of the
coolest blooded murders ever COM
mitted in this county startled the
community at which time Mrs. Sar-
man was killed. with an axe, her
body placed on bed and her cloth
ing set on fire. Returning to the
house from the field late in the
afternoon, the dead body was found
by the husband. The fire had smould-
cred and did not burn and destroy
the evidence Of the crime. as the
murderer had expected.
VIM. Mccormick was sheriff at
the time and accompanied by C.
M. Krummes, trailed suspect to
Alkali Lake and arrested him. A
second suspect was arrested and
while damaging evidence in the
form of footprints near the Sarman
home, made by a pair of sharp
pointed shoes, as worn by one of
the men arrested, they were, in
due time turned loose. A hearing
before Justice of the Peace C. w.
Dake was held at Genoa, and d.
W. Virgin acted as prosecuting at
torney, but the evidence was not
deemed sufficient to hold either of
the men.
A week or so later the officers
finally came to the conclusion that
possibly one of the men, the wearer
OF the sharp pointed shoes, did have
something to do with the murder,
and sought to find him, but he had
lost no time in making his way out
Of the country and was never APP
pretended.
This brutal murder of the aged
lady was the eigth cold-blooded kill
ing to take place in this county in
a period of twenty years without
experimenting the guilty parties.
What will develop in the case
now being investigated at Madero,
is not known at this writing but it
may be that the suspect has confided
to some close friends and now finds
the officers in possession of at least
portion of his confession.-Gard-
nerville Record-C Courier.

AREN'T TAKES OVER
THE QUARTZ MOUNTAIN

Hon. Samuel S. Arentz, former
Congressman from Nevada and
prominent mining engineer, was in
Nina last week, reports the West
ern Nevada Miner. Mr.. Arentz
came in from Luning and was ac-
companied by T. R. Pledge and
James Miner of that place. The
party were here to close up min
ing deal whereby Mr.. Arentz took
over the Quartz Mountain property
in the Broken Hills section, which
is owned by T. R. Pledge, James
Miner and Ben M. Clay, all of
Luning. Particulars of the deal
and purchase price were not learned.
Development of the holdings has
opened some large bodies of high
grade ore.
Mr.. Arentz is back in the mining
game in full swing and says that
once more he feels in his element.
He has been visiting a number of
mining sections. Recently he visited
Seven Troughs, Broken Hills, Chalk
Mountain and Quartz Mountain dis
tricts. He is very much impressed
with the country, from a mining
standpoint, adjacent to Broken Hills
and Phonolite.
In speaking of mining he stated
that while the unsettled condition
of silver for the moment may re-
tard some development that he has
great faith in the future of mining
in Nevada. The fact that he is in
the field again and looking up pros
pective mines is the best indication
of his faith in precious metal min
ing in Nevada. He reports extern
sive activity in practically every
district in the state with number
of new properties being opened up.
Western Nevada Miner is pleased
to Sc Mr.. Arntz actively enter the
mining game in this section. He is
one of the foremost mining engi-
neers in the state. He made a sue
cess of his mining ventures in
south Nevada and we look to see
him repeat the performance in the
Broken Hills section.
