A Valuable Present for Soys. 



THB INGERSOLL 



Dollar Watch 



is known the world over. We have demonstrated that 

 it is possible to make a good watch for a DOLLAR. It is 

 made to stand rough usage, and for boys it is just the 

 thing ; for men not wishing to carry a high-priced watch 

 at work it will fill every purpose of an expensive watch. 

 It keeps as good time as a hundred-dollar watch and 

 years of hard knocks will not affect its accuracy. 



Under the GUARANTEE printed below we have sold 

 more than 2,000,000 WATCHES in two years. If the 

 watch were not a good one, our repair shop would be 

 larger than our factory. 



Our GUARANTEE is not a meaningless say so, but an 

 absolute and unequivocal agreement.

Dept. 77. New 



We have grouse, quails, sage-hens and 

 ducks, with plenty of doves to practice on 

 during the close season. Sage hens are 

 most plentiful in the Eastern part of the 

 State. Grouse and quails are abundant in 

 the Western part. The duck receives the 

 most attention from Nevada sportsmen. 

 Along the Carson, Humboldt, and Truckee 

 rivers, and at numerous small lakes, they 

 are found in abundance. 



Deer are not plentiful, but I think that 

 in each of the 14 counties in the State, from 

 2 to 10 deer are killed every year. Last 

 October I saw 4 which were killed within 

 15 miles of this city.

A LYNX IN FERGUS FALLS. 



Mrs. A. M. Faber, of this place, recently discovered 

 what she supposed to be an enormous cat, crouched on the 

 limb of a tree near her woodpile about 5 o'clock in the 

 evening. She attempted to drive it away with a stick, but 

 it simply sprang down and took up a position on the wood- 

 pile. Finally she sent word to Jacob Niebels to come over 

 and shoot it and he responded at once. He found it was 

 no ordinary cat, and when a bullet had ended its career, he 

 discovered it was a lynx— an animal that one would expect 

 to find in some dense Canadian forest rather than in the 

 heart of a city of this size. How it came here is a mystery, 

 the only probable surmise being that it followed the river 

 during the preceding night. 



The animal is about 2j£ feet long and when standing 

 erect is about iS inches high.

If you would live next to nature, read 

 Recreation. 



The Marion (Pa.) Independent tells of 

 a man in that neighborhood who shot a 

 screech owl, and, believing there was a 

 bounty on birds of that kind, took it to a 

 justice of the peace to make the proper 

 affidavit. The justice assured him there 

 was not only no bounty on the screech owl, 

 but that, on the contrary, there was a pen- 

 alty of $5 for shooting one. The justice 

 said he was sorry; but, as the man had 

 confessed to the violation of the law, he had 

 no alternative but to impose the fine. 



Good. He'll know more about the law 

 next time. It's always safe for a man to 

 look up the game laws before he starts out 

 to shoot things. 



On May 12th I packed my camping outfit, 

 took the train for Santa Cruz, and by 5 p.m. 

 my daughter Maud and I were at Laguina 

 creek, 9 miles North of Santa Cruz. 



Our camp was in a nice grove, in a can- 

 yon about % mile from the beach. We had 

 good trout and surf fishing, and also hunted 

 rabbits, of which there are hundreds. I used 

 a .22 rifle. There were plenty of quail, but 

 as it was in close season we did not molest 

 them. There was not a day while we were 

 there that I could not have killed them from 

 the tent. I. D. Howe, San Jose, Ca\.
