GRAND JURY
HITS TOPAZROAD

The new road built last year
above Topaz lake to take the place
Of the one inundated, has been re-
garded as a dangerous highway and
at recent meeting of the Mono
county grand jury. that body made the
following report:
I'VE find the general condition Of
the roads better than It has been in
many years, in fact better than il has
ever been. There is. however, one
exception to this general condition,
and that II with reference to the
road around Topaz Lake. We recon-
mend that this road be made wider,
and that the point of rocks just at
the first turn be removed or the road
at that point Strengthened out to elm
mate as much as possible the turn.
We recommend further that at each
turn in the grade there be construct
ed on the outside of the road a sub
stantial fence or railing of sufficient
strength to prevent cars or other
vehicles going off the grade"

LOUIS MONROE
VISITS ALPINE

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Monore and
family are visitors in Alpine county
this week. Mr.. Monroe was an early
resident of that county and married
Miss May Wells of Monitor in 1879
at the period when the town of Moni-
tor sutained a population of over
500 people and the Colorado No. 2
Mining company of that place was in
successful operation and producing
gold ond silver bullion averaging
$1,000 per month. The property was
under the superintendency of Peter
Curtz and Prof Ottakar Hoffman,
metalurgist and mining engineer, who
introduced the lixiviation process for
the extraction of the precious metals
from the base ores of that property.
First by the introduction of the first
concentrating plant that was manu-
factured in San Francisco and second
by subjecting these concentrates to a
chloradizing roast, later teaching off
the base chlorides after which the
silver contents were obtained and
finally gold, producing gold and silver
bullion OF a fineness averaging for
gold bars SO per cent and silver over
800 peh cent. This bullion was sold
to the Carson City Mint with the
record of being the highest grade of
bullion purchased as to its fineness.
Mr. Monroe. having been employed
as millwright and carpenter to in
stall the various requirements in that
line for the installation of the lix-
iyiating plant, stated that he enjoys
to discuss with his old friends the
many important events of those early
days in this section. Mr.. Monroe and
family are residents of Orange coun-
ty, California where he is engaged in
the fruit business having purchased
a home in that section. He will make
an extended visit and enjoy again the
beautiful scenery, pure water and
health giving climate of Alpine sum-
mer climate before returning to his
home.

MADE
ON FIRE HOUSE

A meeting of the Gardnerville
volunteer fire department was held
last Friday evening and was quite
largely attended by members of the
company and taxpayers of the dis
trict. The matter Of erecting a brick
building for housing the fire-fighting
equipment was taken up and the
liss, n p. Jensen and Geo Montrose
reported. Several desirable lots were
offered for sale to the committee.
C. NJ Krummes offered a lot on
School street for $3.50, P. X. Rah-
beck one on Eddy street for $500, R.
Border one on Main street for $3.50,
Walter Frey one for $3.50 while the
Overland Holding company offered a
lot adjoining the Imelli building of
suitable width and the full length of
the block for $500. This offer includ-
ed the right to use the wall of the
lmelli building, making an estimated
saving of S400 on the cost Of the pro-
posed building. The lot also provides
ingress and egress from two streets.
A number Of the department believ-
ed this lot was the most suitable
and motion was made to accept it.
Some objection was offered to the
location and also to the proposition
of using the Imelli building as one
wall of the new building. The motion
carried, however. and in the mean
time should a moro s11it a b1n location
be secured the matter may again be
taken up and threshed out.
A committee composed of C. M.
krummes, president of the depart
ment; Frank Howard, secretary and
e. Christensen, chief, was chosen to
devise ways and means of financing
the proposed building.

NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE
BRIDCEPORTERS
MEET DEFEAT

The Bridgeport Giants were de-
feated by score of % to 10 by the
Gardnerville team in a game played
on the local diamond last Sunday.
The score indicates that the game
was not a big league affair, but
nevertheless those that attended the
game have witnessed poorer exhibi-
tions of the national game.
Moyle, pitcher for the visiting team,
was not in good form and after a
number of innings retired. His sub
stitute was little better and Gardner
Vile clouted the ball over the out
field. When the game had reached
a one-sided stage, Bridgeport was al
lowed to put in battery from the
Indian School and Immediately things
began to look brighter for the visitors.
1t was like change from a pop-gun
to cannon. The Indian battery held
down the score of the home team.
Raycraft. pitcher for Gardneryille
gave way to Jepsen while the latter
retired in favor of Lange The
visitors pounded the ball after a rath-
er distressing fashion and at the be-
ginning of the eighth inning the score
was 10 to % in favor of Gardnerville.
The score stood thus at the end of
the game. which terminated In pretty
double play from a hot grounder stop
ped by Will Lange. Gardnerville's
shortstop.
Bug" Brown was the only Gard
nerville player to knock out a home
run. This player likewise grabbed
off hearty applause by his splendid
work in left field
Fred Brenzel refereed the game,
and as on past occasions, distinctly
let it be known that he was the re-
feree and that his decisions were
final
The two teams stand tied as a re-
suit of Sundays game, and 1t seems
probable that the championship will
be decided at game to be played in
the future.

their wool clips awaiting a more fav-
orable price, in an interview given out

the pari-mutuel betting machines at
thetwenty-five day race meen, recent
ly concluded, according to figures
given to the Reno Gazette by VIM. P.
Kyne, general manager of the Silver

included the amount handled last
week when the gate receipts were
given to the destitute OF Goldfield.
The biggest day at the track was
July 4. when $4,000 went through
the machines. but the average Is
figured at $4,000 a day for the
twentysix days of racing Receipts
from admissions were approximately
$12,,5O0 Mr.. Kyne said, his exact
figures not yet being completed.
The meet was successful, although
Kyne declares little profit resulted
because of the purses given the horse
owners, a total of s1S2,000 being
hung up in purses. Out of the total
money handled by the pari-mutuel
machines, eight per cent is taken for
the state racing commission. Two
per cent of the eight goes to the

TRIPLET LAMBS At ELY
ATTRACT ATTENTION

A mother eve with triplet lambs
have been the pride of the home
ranch of Josephine Luzzetti in Step
toe Valley near Ely, since they were
born recently. Mr.. Luzzetti states
that it is the first instance of the
kind they have ever had among
the sheep, although some years ago
they had goat with triplet kids.
There is a pleasing variety in the
color scheme, the mother being white,
two of the lamkins black with white
star forheads, and the other pure
white. The white lamb has been
chosen as a candidate for the bottle
feeding as the other two cannot be
told apart. The bottle-fed baby is
outgrowing the other two lambs.

GRAIN
CROP is HEAVY

That Nevada's total grain produc-
tion will be considerably larger this
year than in 1922 is the prediction
contained in the July crop report Is
sued by the United States department,
of agriculture.
Nevada gains and ranges i'm

lent rains covering the northern part
of the state" the report continues
THE acreage of wheat is smaller than
last year. but oats and barley are
promising 10000 bushels more than
year ago.
Stocks of wheat on farms are To-

last year In the United States stocks
on farms are 35,624 900 now, com
pared with 32,259,0 900 bushels July /

Hay production prospects are low

slowly this spring, temperatures re-
naming low, and in several counties
was damaged by frost. making inn
mediate cutting necessary. This
light crop has impaired the tame hay
outlook considerably, but wild hay is
improving following exceptional rain
fall along the Humbold river. With
the reduced acreage, however, the
crop will be much shorter than last
year.
Potatoes were reduced in acreage
from 5000 to 1000 Frost hurt many
vines, and unless the season changes
Nevada will have only Ga per cent as
many potatoes as last year.

unfayorable weather, is more than
Offset by the improvement in the
ranges following the rains. The con-
dition rose from SO to 103 per cent.
1t is higher than that in the north,
but the average is pulled down by
drought in the southern part of the
state, where rain is badly needed.
A condition figure of 25 reported
