GENEVA, Aug. 15. Through the
Brazilian legation at Berne the secre
tariat of the League of Nations has
just been notified that Brazil has com
pleted her panel of nominations of
judges for the leaguers international
court of justice at The Hague.
Owing to the death, however, of Luiz
Maria Drago, who was one of the can
didates nominated, the Brazilian gov
ernment has decided not to communi
cate the list to the league until some
one has been selected to fill the vacan
cy caused by the above death.
Brazil is thus the second nation to
comply with the league's request to
make nominations for the judgeships of
the league's international court. Siam
was the first country to send in its list.

Yesterday morning at the family
home in Genoa, Leslie L. Hawkins, one
of the well known young men of this
section of Nevada, passed away follow
ing a short illness. The news of his
death comes as a surprise and shock to
the many people of the Genoa section
and those acquainted with him and the
family in this city.
The deceased was 44 years, 7 months
and 15 days old, a native of Alpine
county, Calif. During the past fifteen
years he has made his home with his
parents in Genoa, where a large circle
of friends, young and old, was formed.
Since the family moved to Genoa he
has been part of .ht Hfs of thut com
munity. He is survived by his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Theo P. Hawkins, thr:e
brothers, Lee of this city, and Earl and
James of Carson valley, and two sis
ters, Mrs. A. Maish and Mrs. Deitling
of Gardnerville.
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed, but will be held under the
auspices of the Carson valley order of
Eagles of which he was a member. In
terment will be at the Genoa cemetery.
RICH SPECIMENS
Some very rich gold specimens are
being shown about the Woodford coun
try from a find somewhere to the south
of that point. A couple of prospectus
brought in the high grade, but failed to
enlighten the rest of the world as to its
location.
As the lost Snowshoe Thompson
mine is supoosed to be south of Wood
fords there is speculation whether the
new find is the famous lost property.

USING STORED WATER
Early shipments of Nevada lambs to
eastern and western markets are being
made. Most of the sheep men of this
section have either shipped or are pre
paring to do so.
There is quite a demand for Nevada
lambs, both for restocking and for mar
ket use. The result is that the local
road is doing a considerable business
moving sheep over the road.

Both Bound Over
J. Banassi and Marie Banassi, re
cently arrested on a charge of violating
the federal dry act, have been bound
over to the federal grand jury by Com
missioner Ellis. Bonds in the sum of
$1,000 each have been furnished.
The farmers of Carson valley are
now calling on the stored waters in the
reservoirs at the head of the river.
Those who subscrilied for this service
are receiving the water in the amount
ordered.
Carson valley is among the farming
settlements which has had the foresight
to provide against water shortage. The
result is one of the heaviest second
crops cut in the valley in a number of
years. A number of the farmare busy
on the second crop at the present time
and stacks as large as mountains are
decorating the valley.
The baseball game yesterday at Val-
ey Park between the Virginia City
team and the local ball tossers resulted
in a walk away for the home talent.
The score stood 12 to 3 in favor cf
Carson.
The next big game will probably take
place at Virginia City La!or Day, when
Carson and Reno try conclusions. A
fat purse is to be hung up for the event
and both teams will be at their best for
the occasion.
MANY AT THE LAKE
MANY FIRES BURNING
Manv brush and forest fires are burn
ing. That at the bead of Ash canyon
got beyond control for a time yesterday
and spread into Veasey canyon, where
considerable second growth timber has
been destroyed.
Another big brush fire near Gaier.a
creek yesterday did some damage to
small timber and fences. There is a
fire in Pinenut range which has cleaned
out considerable timber and feed. Still
another fire was reported near Antelope
valley and one started near the head of
Kings canyon.
The Virginia and Truckee is feeling
a revival of business that iis keeping
all train crews busy, in fact, the road is

The rehabilitation of Virginia Ciity
is one of the factors as trainloads of
material are being shipped in for con
struction purposes, and with other con
cerns buying in and promising mills
and hoists the local road can look for
ward to even a larger volume of busi
ness. The movement of stock and sheep
started early this year and a number of
trains loaded with live stock have al
ready been moved.
The local shops have more men hired
than at any time iin a number of years
and with the resumption of minins and
milling on the Comstock appearances
point to the shops coming back to for
mer day activities.
For years the Virginia and Truckee
shops supplied all of the castings for
the mills, and a great deal of the ma
chinery for the big hoists were con
structed in this city. As the new 2,000

Others went as far as Bijou and some

evening there was a procession of c.ir
coming and going from points about
the lake.
Considering the amount of travel the

being made to make repairs.
