Struck It Rich Old Jim McCulloch of Comstock fime has struck it rich in his shaft 14 milea cast of Mill City in Humboldt County, j At a depth of 38ft feet he cross cut a ledge which to the time the report had been aent out, he hud penetrated 8 feet, and found it so rich that some values went above $20,000 per ton with seeming average values across the pay streak approximating $10 to $12 per !>ound. And Nevada is hardly scratch ed vet either. Meet me st Smith's anniversary sale. 1 Frank Smith, Jeweler.

After the cloud burst a wall of water and debris ten feet high came pouring down the wide canyon and struck the house in which Miss Pixley and her friend Miss Souchereau were, destroy ing the house and drowning Miss Pixley, while her friend was sav ed with difficulty. It was reported that others had lost their lives and many head of stock. This cloud burst will go down in history as being the most terrible in the north west. Mid Summer Wedding A pretty wedding occurred at the residence of Mrs. R. T. For tune in this city, Monday after noon, August 3, 1908, the con tracting parties being Mr. 0. E. Baker and Miss Marie Ottenstein of Fairview, Nevada. The bride formerly residing in Quincy, 111., and the groom from Reno and Ely. Mr. Baker is a prominent mining man at Fairview, and will make that city their future home. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. J. F. Price, of Fallon, and the wedding supper was served at 4 o’clock, both at tended by a few friends. The Standard wishes them all kinds of future happiness and that all their troubles may be little ones. Goes to Lake Tahoe and the Coast Mr. and Mr*. Frank Steinheimer of Fairview Mid K*whkh\ have -been m Fallon for a number of days enjoying the xalabrious climate of the Sink, while all the surrounding country is sweltering in the heat of a not over cool summer. Mr. Steinheimer availed himself of the excellent advantages Fallon affords for repairs of automo biles, and at the garage gave his pow erful Thomas Flyer a complete over hauling, departing Saturday morning for Lake Tahoe and the Coast where they will enjoy themselves for a time. Mr. Steinheimer is one of the progres sive men of Churchill County who knows s good thing when he sees it. He was with his brother Otto one of the earliest men in Fairview, erecting a substantial two story building the first in that city, and always in the front of any movement along the lines of the development of his town and min ing district. He was one of the first to see the great value of Fairview Lagle stock, and by his enterprise and foresight and courage gathered up a bunch of it in time to reap a $7500 pro fit in about two weeks. Crusade Against the Hy As the national crusade against the house fly is now in progress, supplant ing temporarily the international issue against mosquitoes and rats. Prof. Un derwood of Massachusetts,declares that one fly killed this month may prevent the existence 82,000,000 by mid-sum mer. Such is the prolific nature of the common fly. Such, too, is the ignorance of the past that when a Roman emper or was killing flea as a habit he was not haul'd as a benefactor* but was fin ally dethroned as too trivial to be toler ated as a Roman despot. Still it ap pears in the light of history as a whole that this is a good time to invest as much as ten cents in a first installment of fly paper. Warren W. Williams returned yester day from his Gold Creek ranch where he and his family have been spending a few weeks in the mountains. He ex pects to return in a few days. A Rancher Talks Mr. Louis Hardy was in town Monday from his ranch south of town. He has a fine first crop and a good start for a second, but explains that owing to a limited amount of water this sea son it is impossible to supply every one with all that is needed and the preference is rightly giv en to those who have new gain and alfalfa, which without water to keep it alive would surely die. The Government seems to be pursuing a policy of conserving as far as possible the life of new plant growth in the case of the old settlers and new comers alike and that seems the right thing to do. Mr. Hardy illustrated the disadvantages under which the new comer sometimes finds him self with hardly enough ready cash to see his place self support ing, and the Government has wisely arranged to allow the settlers to work out their watei tax on Government work on ditches, and to permit this script received in payment to be trans ferred so that any water user can buy it of the settler, making it j equivelent to cash to him. It is much to the credit hnd to the kindness of the old settlers that wherever possible they buy this script from their new brethern for cash thus helping when help is needed. Their own exper iences on sage brush ranches gives them a fellow felling, that sort which makes them “wondr ous kind” and which creates a brotherly feeling which will grow as ehe years go by. Granted Stay of Execution Carson City, .Nev., July 31.— On the petition of Attorney C. C. Ward of Goldfield, the Su preme Court granted a stay of execution in the case of George Williams, sentenced to die on the gallows in the Carson peni tentiary on August 5th for the murder of two prospectors nam ed Connors and Griffin at Stimler near Coldfield, about a year ago. Ward declared that the confes sion of Williams should not have been granted at the trial in Gold field and it was on this showing that the stay of execusion was granted. Ward will now have time to appeal the case of Wil liams to the Supreme Court. Williams was placed in the death cell several days ago but when the stay of execution was granted he was taken from the death cell and the death watch was removed. Very Sad Death Word was received here in Fal lon on last Thursday afternoon, July 30th, announcing the death of Mrs. J. W. Danielson at Mo desto. Cal., from childbirth. The child was homed on July 19th and died the following day, and the mother followed her babe to the great beyond in 11 days. Mrs. Danielson was tak en to Reno in which city she will be buried today. The Standard join with the large circle of friends here in the Sink in extending their deep est sympathy to the husband in his sad bereavement. Meet me at Smith's anniversary sale.

Chalk Mountain In 1877 Fred Whanschaff, who is locally known at ‘‘Dutch Fred" was mining at Chalk Mountain, in this county. He found an iron stain which looked promis ing and within a few feet of the surface shovelled out about ten tons of silver-lead carbonate ore which brought him $150 per ton, silver being at $1.15 an ounce. He also placed several tons of silver-lead ore on the dump, too low grade to haul 80 miles to the railroad. He was followed, in that ground, by the late George Weichman. who in sinking along a pipe of silver-lead ore found galena running over 3000 ounces silver to the ton and who died in the effort to locate the larger bodies from which the pipe came This work was taken up about 1902 by John Burt of Stillwater, who looked closer into the rock than did his predecessor and he found seams leading into pockets of ore valued around $100 per ton, and made a handsome pro fit, although freight and hauling charges and the lead and silver markets were all adverse. In 1906 J. H. Wilsonof Hazen, and others relocated the ground and incorporated a company to work it and sunk the shaft 40 feet deeper or 130 feet in all, recovering ore placements with a value of about $100 per ton, and with an 8 inch vein of that grade in the bottom of the shaft and in place. The property has just passed into the hands of the Minnesota-Nevada Investment Co. of St Paul, Minn., a strong company, of mining men, who have acquired a large holding of valuable mining ground at Chalk Mountain. Within the past two years the discoveries at Chalk Mountain along this silver-lead vein system, includes high grade galena with 78 per cent lead and 600 oz. silver per ton, and aver ages of 55 to 60 per cent lead with 65 to 140 oz. silver per ton, both galena and carbonate ores. The smelter trust officials have examined this lead ore and have encouraged its mining on a lar ger scale, owing to its grat value as a flux. It is of interest to learn that the St. Paul Company are now arranging to prosecute the work of sinking on this high grade vein as rapidly as possible. George Wingfield Married Last Thursday at the home of the bride in San Francisco Geo. Wingfield one of the best known man in Nevada was united in marriage to Miss Maude Azile Murdock, a daughter of R. B. Murdock, cashier of the United States national bank at San Francisco. The couple will leave immediately for a tour of Europe and an automobile having already been shipped from New York to Paris to make the continental trip in. They expect to return to America the first of the year and reside at Goldfield and San Francisco, a home at the Nevada town now being constructed for the bride. The groom is well known to local people and has great hold ings in Goldfield and also every other mining camp in the state I of Nevada. One Week's Production Goldfield produced 1197,700 last week which is "going some.” When you figure up what that means in a year and then consider that Rawhide. Yer ington, Tonopah, Fairview, Wonder and about two dozen other live up-to date Nevada Camps are producing pre cioua metals each week. Warning to Public. I hereby warn all persons against shooting into my fields from the county road. This practice must stop, and all persons caught in the act will be prose cuted to the full extent of the law. 0.

C l]P (Churrlull (County Standard An Independent Democratic Paper A. P. ntnEanvoBTH, Editor and Proprietor Democratic National Ticket. For President WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN of Nebraska For Vice-President JOHN WORTH KERN of Indiana Postal Savings Bank Murderers Promise the Miracle of Resurrection. [Sacramento Bee.] In bis remarkable speech of acceptance WilliamHowardTaft says: The Republican Party prefers the postal savings bank system, the one tried, safe and known to be effective, and as reaching many nlore people now without banking facilities than any other system. And William Howard Taft de clares the Republican party wants the postal savings banks system, because in the Repub lican platform appears this plank: We favor the establishment of a pos tal savings bank system for the conven ience of the people and the encourage ment of thift. The Republican platform “fa vors” a whole raft of things upon which the republicans in Congress sat down with n dull thud when Roosevelt appealed in their behalf. And one of them was the pos tal savings bank system. The public voice was very strenuous in favor of postal sav ings banks during the last ses sion of Congress. Circumstances connected with the bastard panic had opened the eyes of the people to the methods of only too many of the banks, and they wanted a depositary, under the direct con trol and responsibility of the government where the earn ings could be protected alike from peculating cashiers and from those sublimated three card-monte sharps otherwise known as Wall Street “finan ciers.” President Roosevelt was quick to hear the voice, and lie sent to Congress a strong s|H*cial mes sage urging the establishment of such postal savings hanks. What was the answer of Con gress in May last—a Congress dominated in every way by the same Republican party which in June iclaimed its devotion to the postal savings bank system? In the Senate, the President was insulted when that august body adjourned as his message was being rei-d! In the House of Representa tives the majority party refused to listen to the message! And now the Republican Party, which killed the postal savings bank system, plants the rose mary of remembrance over the remains, while William Howard Taft stands by the newly-made grave and points to the flower as the sign and symbol of Re publican resurrection! Massing on the Center. [Cinninnati Enquirer.] For twelve years the phrase, “the enemy’s country,” has been a favor te expression in political circles, and since 1896 until this jr«r it has correctly expressed! i, 4 the antipathy of the voters of the eastern states to the candidates and policies of the democratic party. It no longer applies, and the republican control of that great section is to be seriously chal lenged and strenuously contested by the democrats this year. The heart of the position is the state of New York, and not since Cleve land carried it ill 1892 has there been such a battle for its electo ral vote as will be made the next few months. This is not 1896, with a thin line of New York democrats, without funds, facing the com bined forces of a united republican party and a hostile democratic national administration, sup plied with millions of money to purchase and with power to crush and ruin daring opponents that money could not buy. This is not 1900, with such al liance still intact and the pres tige of a successful foreign war; with bulging governmental pay rolls; with thousands of'army, navy aud civil appointments to reward active partisans and rec ompense campaign contributors. This is not 1904, with the most popular man in the United Stati s heading the republican ticket and the democratic radicals sulk ing and dtsertitig on account of the gold telegram and of distrust of certain leaders. New York state is no repub lican Gibraltar. The democrats i know it and wise republican pol iticians doubt it. The last test of partisan strength was in 1906 and then every candidate on the republican ticket was defeated save Governor Hughes, and he only saved by democratic votes. He was solidly supported by the state republican organization, vigorously aided by the national administration, polled all the votes both could command and yet would have failed of election hut for the democrats who op posed Mr. Hearst. Has Gover nor Hughes by his administra tion strengthened the republican party in the state since 1906? Has the terrible money famine of 1907 and the resultant depres sion ot trade bettered republican conditions in New York state, or iti any other state, since it was inaugurated? Let republicans consider these facts. If farmers who a if prosperous in Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana. Kansas and Nebraska are weak ening in republicanism and show- j ing tendencies of affiliating with the democrats, what of the men out of employment in the indus trial centres of New York? What of the hundreds of thousands of voters on half time or quarter time or no time at all, with fam ilies short of everything that goes to make up civilized com forts? Are they republicans this year? With the metropolitan press and leading financiers for three or four years stoutly opposing policies of the republican admin tration, has this strengthened the party in New York? We doubt it. The democrats frequently blun der, but the result in November may prove that their managers make no mistake in storming “the enemy’s country.” Enemy’s no longer, possibly. They have had no such chance since 1892, and then they won out. Mr. Bryan Will Be Elected Because— For twelve years lie has stood the best loved and the most cordially hated of any man in the public eye— As his friends have advanced from love to worship and their numbers increased, his traducers have become less virulent and their numbers declined— Jti his sincerity, honesty and manhood he has won the confi dence of mankind— In the fight for public decency and the elevation ot governmen tal standards he lias stood the invincible tribune of the people— Despite the most intolerant opposition, he has risen with new honors mid a face as serene j as the dawn— In his eye there gleams the glance of an honest mail, whose heart heats in unispn with the noblest aspirations ol a great people, and whose head is preg nant with high ideals and great hopes for the economic emanci pation of man— He visited the crowned heads of the world, and through the force of his exalted personality, demonstrated to them the grand eur of a free citizenship, and the divinity ot true manhood— He is the mouth of the op pressed, the heart of the betiefac- j tor, the head of the leader ami the conscience of humanity— He has dared to challenge the hosts of privilege, and through his daring and honest manhood forced the malefactors into the open, where the light of day has withered their hopes and made them surrender— The people are crying for deliv- j erunce from the hosts of special privilege. He has heard that cry. j and with the devotion of the Spartan mother the strength of Hercules and the courage of the gods he has championed their, cause— The conscience of the nation is i at last awakened and he is the voice of that conscience. If in this man the people of America have not found a cham pion, where may they hope to find him? Citizen William H. Taft weighs exactly 297 1-2 pounds. He got on the scales July 4, and when he saw the figure registered In started in amazement. Some time ago Mr. Taft is credited with publicly declaring that no gentleman weighed over 300 pounds.

In nursery stork I had seed for 200,000 plants, but on account of two breaks in large ditches, they are a failure. I am preparing more land for beans, turnips and alfalfa. The latter will do to sow in September. I have sample apple and pear trees and black berries (Mammoth). My age is 64 and 1 have lots to do. On that account 1 have not attended socials. The soil when properly treated will grow immense crops. My land is sur rounded with sagebrush and the rabbits eat most everything. 1 would suggest having an organized rabbit run occa sionally. 1 poiaon large numbers of rats, but still have had to sow three times; poisoned some of the seed before sowing.

How to Secure a Gov ernment Position Paying $800 to $2500 a Year. If you wish to get into any branch of j the U. S. Civil service you can secure information about how to proceed by calling on or writing San Bernardino Business College and Civil Service In stitute. This is the only town in California making a specialty of coaching for the Civil Service and assisting young peo ple to secure government positions, ex aminations for which are held in San Bernardino. I Many of these positions, like Stenog raphy, Railway Mail Service, P.
