C. FMnsmore, who will have charge of the work. The apparatus now on hand at the experiment station is not standardized, while the apparatus al ready ordered will be first sent to the United Slates bureau of stan dards for slandardiat ion. So deli cate is the equipment that varia tions of any weight down to a frac tion of an ounce can be detected From this outfit a working set will be standardized that will be used fc r field work. Seventeen states adopted weights and measure bills during the last legislative sessions, and practically all coincide with the measure pass ed by the Nevada legislature. In addition to the states in which like laws are now in force, it is esti mated that practically half the states are working under the same lawa. Prof. Dinsinore -stated that he had received many inquiries from large manufacturing associations asking for details of the new law and all stated that Ihey nt t only fa vored the legislation, but would observe and comply with the nec essary requirements.

With the government irrigation project, as proposed by the enginers, in operation, where now is only a narrow strip of land under irrigation, there will be farms covering many miles of territory on each sldo of the river. This land is a fine loamy soil capable of pro liy that time the arm was badly swnllin and blackened.

IHO STRIKE MADE NEAR CHERRY CREEK J. II. Maelin, who came up last week from Cherry Creek, reports that, a strike of unusual importance was made recently on the west side of the range from the old camp, of Cherry Creek, which is already a shipper. I The discovery was made some few weeks ago by one of the Nelson brothers, while hunting horses. Two carloads of ore have lieon shipped rom the new discovery which ought returns of 50 per cent lead and from 30 to 40 ounces n silver to the ten. The lead is said to be nine feet in width, all of which is shipping ore. Until recently only a few locations were made, hut the re turns from the shipments created considerable excitement, and many prospectors cn.ni p. lave gone to the new camp, t lie Injured man naa neen hours without medical treatment. Brennan is now being treated by Dr. C. A. Jenson and is still in a serious condition, lint it is hoped that the system can be kept up and the poison thrown off, in which event the man will recover.

GOV AN, EUGENE HOWELL WMHMiminiHttffltniiHniMinH'iiwimamiiw GOVERNMENT MAY CONSERVE WATERS OF THE HUMBOLDT That Humboldt county has a wonderful future through the pos sibilities of land reclamation has been demonstrated by government engineers who have surveyed the land and made measurements cf the water flow of the Humboldt river, the principal stream in the state. It Is not the normal flow of water that is now used to irri gate the different ranches along the river, but the surplus waters, tfie greater part of which are now prac tically going to waste. It is understood, and the infor mation comes from a reliable source, that the recent tests made by the government engineers show that is water enough going to waste each year that, if properly handled, would raise crops sufficient to sup port at least a million more popu lation than Nevada has at the pres ent time. The Humboldt, river trav erses the state for a distance 6f nearly 4 00 miles, and during the spring of the year an immense volume of water passes down the stream to the Humboldt sink, where it forms a large lake nnd finally evaporates or sinks into the ground. The Humboldt river at this ti me of the year is a comparatively small stream, nut in the early spring the river spreads its hanks at least 100 times its natural width and under the present system of irri gation this water Is allowed to go to waste, ns there Is no means of controlling It. It is proposed by the government engineers to -conserve this flood wa ter by a series of dams and reser voirs, covering the river from one end to the other where it Is prac ticable to establish these projects, i NEAR DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A RATTLESNAKE M. .1. Brennan, working in the Camp Dupont section about 13 miles northeast of Searchlight, had a narrow escape from death Tues day forenoon, Mr. Brennan has been working on a group of claims in that neighborhood . in -company with Thomas Bartcgee and Her man Wesselhoft. About 11 o'clock Tuesday fore noon Bieniian, being thirsty, went into a tunnel that was used as a ort of a cellar to make some lemonade. Acrcsa the tunnel there is a door with a sill about four 'nches high. After squeezing the luice front the lemons he threw the rinds on the floor near the door. After taking hjs drink he ".tarted to leave the tunnel and stocped to pick up the rinds and Mirow them outside when a rattle snake which was lying behind tho door sprang out without- warning and caught the man' on the finger. Brennan shot, the snake and then proceeded to do what he could to In the counting of the Elko coun ty ballots, in the .election contest case, some troubles are arising. It will be remembered as published in the News, a short time ago the ballots were not particularly well guarded in the court house at lilko and lay for a long time in a pile in a corner of a large room. Whether the ballots had been tampered with or not, is not known. In the counting of the Tuscarora ballots a few days ago, it was shown that the election re turns called for a total of 106 ballots being used from, the ballot books. Of this number three were spoiled and cancelled. This should have left 103 ballots to be couited in all, but upon checking the bal lots there were only 102, one bal lot being missing. What effect this loss will have upon the count AMERICAN LEAGUE. ! Standing of (he Clubs. Clubs Wen. Lost.
