Goldbasin remains the center o.
mining attraction throughout this
section, as activity is chronicled or
practically every claim in this sec
ton. Work on the properties taken
over by the Gillette-O'Donnel people
is being rushed as the shaft on the
Miller property is now down better
than so feet. This Is an incline shaft
and while the ledge has dipped back
of the shaft line 1t Is still in place, as
drillings are being kept in order to
follow the dip of the vein. Paintings
from the vein at so feet are equal to
any that were taken above. Those
interested in this property feel GER
tain that there Is every prospect for
mine.
Work on the other properties un-
der option is being prosecuted. max

finds have been reported, one a mile
to the north that gives good paintings
and another further up toward the
summit.
Parties returning from the camp
state that work on the washing mill
at the Wilson placers Is proving most
satisfactory. 1t has required adjust

About o'clock Sunday Afternoon
fire broke out in the Menlo roomins
house on Maine street which for 9
time threatened to clean out all oi
the frame buildings on the west side
of the street. The alarm was sounded
while most of the volunteer fire de
partment was at the baseball park
thus delaying for a few minutes thei'
services. BY the time the fire boys
landed on the scene and water was
on, the Menlo building was wrapped
In flames.
In a few minutes three streams OF
water were playing on the fire, which
was soon under control and was con
fined to the original building. Had
IL not been for the very efficient
work of the fire boys the Barrel
House would have been destroyed
and there was every chance to wipe
out the best part of the block.
With the loss of the Menlo build
ing the bakery shop was destroyed a.
was the section occupied by the Waf
fle House. The restaurant and bak.
cry were practically destroyed and
there seems no possibility of remod
cling the wreckage.
A Fire Trap
This section of the Fallon business
district has been regarded as men
ace To the city owing to its light
frame construction and the class OF
business that has been renting. The
fire fighters have for several years
figured that some time they would
have a real fight to save other prop
erty as the tinder buildings were
known to be OF such construction
that once a fire started that 1t would
take every effort to save other prop
erty.

Mining people from Tonopah and
Goldfield are in the camp looking
over the situation. 1t is understood
that several propositions have been
made to claim holders to develop on

instances the boys are asking for
some cash down. Considering the
prospects and the outlook for the
making of mining camp the prices
that have been asked for property

DEATH OF EDITH HARRIGAN

In the silent midnight watches on
Friday evening, June 13, Miss Edith
v Harrigan gently fell into the eter
nal slumber while loved ones kept
vigil at her bedside. While yet In
love with life and raptured with its
beauty she passed to silence and pa
thetic dust as the shadows still were
falling toward the west Her sun is
gone down, while 1t was yet day."
After weeks Of patient struggle, with
40 murmur or complaint, and being
weary for a moment, she fell into
that dreamless sleep that kisses
down her eyelids still. Just in the
happiest, sunniest hour Of all the
voyage she heard the summons O.
the great Creator. Edith was a love
" girl and her many friends felt very
sad when they heard of her depart
ure. Sweet and sunny of disposition
wholehearted and true. kind toward
her brothers and sisters, loving to
father and mother. devoted to her
many friends, she was indeed a
charming character and noble soul.
She was born in this county OF
the Sth day of October, 1905, leaving
at the time of death loving father
end mother and the following broth
ers and sisters: Joseph, Vina, Frank
Callie, Edwin, Cora, Alfred and
David. Mr.. and Mrs. John Oats. Mrs
Cora Ferguson, Mrs. NJ. A. Thomas
and Mrs. Jack Matthews are bereft
of loving niece.
The funeral was held Sunday af
ternoon, June 15, from the Methodist
church and the remaing tenderly laid
to rest in the Fallon cemetery. Tho
large attendance and the many beau
tiful floral pieces speak In no uncer-
tain terms Of the high esteem In
which this lovely girl was held. May
the vacant chairin the deeply bereav-
ed household be constant reminder
of the beautiful life and hearty devo
ton of the one who left for a little
while to meet them again where sor-
row and pain and death shall not
enter.

Following the survey of this valley
by California men who made sweep
for alfalfa weevil some ten days ago,
a committee of Churchill county men
met with DR.. Houck at Sacramento
last Saturday to 60 over the situa-
ton.
During the survey made over the
county by the California men sam
pies of weevil were taken at Hazen
and at the bench section but none
were found on the lower section be
low the bench. 1t was In order to
explain the situation and II possible
prevent a county wide quarantine
that a committee composed of l. H
Kent, Bob Douglass, Fred Wightman,
Carl Dodge, Tom Dolf and e. Hursh
Of this city met with Governor
5crugham, all making the trip to
Sacramento.
The entire situation was gone over
md the conditions as they exist were
laid out. The conference was on the
most friendly basis and 1t Is believed
that 1t is possible for a modification,
hut no promise of such nature was
made.
To Make New Survey
DR.. Houck assured the Nevada del
egation that a new survey will be
made. A man 10 expected in this
week and will go over the low lands
and report conditions. Should this
end of the valley be found free from
weevil undoubtedly the line of quar-
antine will be moved to free that
portion where 1t Is believed there Is
no danger.
As It is there is practical quar-
antine on against this county, at
least temporary. II is figured that If
the line can be so moved as to take
In the section below the Truckee
canal, providing II is found free from
the pest, that II win make an outlet
for the major portion of hay that will
be on the market. The promise of
the re-survey was the best that could
be obtained by the local committee
and the governor.
Inquiries for Feed
While a quarantine against hay
shipment this year would be bad
hlow to the industry, owing to the
heavy crops that are in sight, yet the
inquiries for feeding direct from
stacks and In yards seem to indicate
that should quarantine extend over
the entire county that practically all

MILES CANNON OUT
OF RECLAMATION

George c. Kreutzer. for six years
superintendent of the Durham States
Land Colony of California. has been
appointed director of farm econom-
les of the bureau of reclamation to
succeed Miles Cannon, former holder
of that title and also a former com
missioner of reclamation. Kreutzer
has left San Francisco for Denver to
take charge OF the office.
Cannon, according to reports, was
notified by Or. Elwood Mead several
weeks ago that his services would
not be needed in the future by the
bureau of reclamation. Cannon was
appointed by ID. w. Davis of Idaho.

several times broken out and been
extinguished. This last close call
while it did some damage did moi
interfere with business at the old
stand.
Test of Water Works
The fire of Sunday was test OF
the efficiency Of the Fallon wates
works. With the tank filled and
pumps working the fire boys had
plenty of water and the pressure was
all that could be asked for. Fallon
can be congratulated on the good
work of the volunteer department
and also the successful test of the
water supply. Had either failed at
this critical moment the damage by
fire would have been most serious.
Losses are placed at approximately
$1,000, partially covered by insur
ance In the case of DeMarco, the
baker, his fire insurance policy ran
out the Friday evening before the
fire. He voluntarily had the policy
cancelled. His losses are placed at
considerably over 81 900.
Question OF Building
The question OF reyamping the old
partially consumed building Is mat.
ter of general conservation. 1t is
understood that the city ordinances
provide for only fire proof buildings
being erected on the Maine street. In
case of repairs or rebuilding 1t Is
more than probable that the city
authorities will insist on modern fire
proof construction as it is realized
that the building destroyed together
with the place occupied by the Bar
rel House are tinder boxes and a
continuous menace to the other
buildings on the street. which ara
practically all of modern construc-
tion.

EXPECTING A SHIPMENT

The Fallon Garage is expecting a
shipment of the De Luxe edition of
the Chevrolet car. A carload is or
the road and should be in this city
any time in the near future.
The De Luxe Chevrolet is the very
latest in refinements and is as the
name implies the finest of Its kind.
As several orders are awaiting de-
livery the management at the garage
is as anxious as the general public to
see and handle this latest car that
has made such a furor In cars OF
the price.

MODIFYING QUARANTINE

There is general modification of
quarantine against California on &C.
count of the foot and mouth disease
over the border counties, is the word
that comes to the local board and
agricultural agent. 1t is given out
that Mono and Alpine are modifying
their treatment and that 1t is pos
sible that they will abandon some OF
the stations.
In the meantime spasmodic out
breaks of the disease continue In tn
southern section of California, such
reports not being given general pub
licity. The exact situation In the In
fected sections remains unknown
tar as this district is concerned.
Up to the present time Douglas
county. Nevada, has been insistani
on rigid quarantine as travel through
the passes from the California sidt
is one OF the popular routes. Should
Douglas see fit to discontinue her
stations and assistance 1t leaves the
passes open for any character o
travel.
Local Situation
In speaking of the local situation
the farm bureau people and the fed
eral agricultural officer are of the
opinion that great deal rests witt
the farmers and others subject to
hiring men for hay and field work.
The local fumigation station Is still
in working order and care is taken
to fumigate men who cannot give
clean bills of passport.
The station at Hazen has been
closed as II was found that practic-
ally all of the cars coming had been
the men carried cards. Other sta
tions are being closed as It was found
that care had been taken in other
sections.
DR.. Records is going over the sit
uation and II is the general belief
that notifications will be ordered
as far as the state is concerned.
1t is understood that a movement
will shortly be made to district the
California section north of Reno
with the idea of making provision
for admission of cattle as feeders
from that section. This will have to
be done In order to segregate ad
missions.
The county commissioners will
take up this matter and with the
county board OF health set up rules
that will admit cattlemen who have
made application. Inquiries have
been received from several districts
regarding the price of hay In the
stack. one coming from the state OF
Washington, where 1t is stated that
owing to drouth that there is a short
age of crops.

Hope Entertained For Modification

Promise Before Ban Is Made

been a big factor in ready money IL
the hay growers and every effort IL
being made to extend the market FOL
this season at least.
Home Feeding
Should a quarantine be placed
against hay shipments this valley Is
in better position for such an emer-
gency than in its history owing to the
many dairy herds that have been
brought into service. There has been
a steady gain in dairy stock over the
entire valley as Is shown at the
creamery and express shipments
This fortunate circumstance has been
urged through the farm bureau and
the federal agricultural. 1t is con-
ceded that Churchill county is in y
better position to take care Of hay
products than any other county in
the state. The tendency toward
dairying has been noted the past sev-
eral years, or since there was a pos
sibility of the weevil quarantine
eventually being placed over the
county. Other sections that were
placed under the ban were not in as
fortunate a condition. especially In
the Fernley and Lovelock sections
where the hay growers we're caught
without provisions.
May Modify Conditions
There is a movement on with the
county commissioners and the board
of health to make notifications in
the importation of cattle rules. 1t is
believed that within a few weeks at
the utmost that 1t will be possible to
allow cattle shipments In from the
safe quarters of northern California.
Other sections are making inquiry
in regard to feeding In the valley and
with modified rules it is possible
that all of the surplus hay can be
disposed of direct.
1t is estimated at the farm bureau
that third more hay than usual will
be required for home feeding owing
to the gradual increase In dairy stock
over the project. Figures available
at the farm bureau show far better
profit by home feeding over ship
n,ents of hay.
In the meantime those who have
been active in an endeavor to get an
extension of shipment orders for the
year have some hope that new line
can be drawn which will allow the
usual export from this valley which
runs In the neighborhood of $4,000
tons of alfalfa.
