more than 7,000,000 Jas. Boss Stiffened Gold Watch Cases have been sold. 

 Many of the first ones are still giving satisfactory service, proving that 

 the Jas. Boss Case will outwear the guarantee of 25 years. These cases 

 are recognized as the standard by all jewelers, because they know from 

 personal observation that they will perform as guaranteed and are the 

 most serviceable of all watch cases. 





MS. BOSS 

 Watch Cases 



Stifiemsd 

 GOLD 



are made of two layers of solid gold with a layer of stiffening 

 metal between, all welded together into one solid sheet. The 

 '$t)i.... g°ld permits of beautiful ornamentation. The stiffening 

 metal gives strength. United they form the best watch case it 

 is possible to make. Insist on having a Jas. Boss Ce.se. You 

 will know it by the Keystone trade-mark. Send for booklet.

Quails are scarce in this vicinity, and 

 bags at no time exceed a dozen. In some 

 sections, and especially on the Colorado 

 river, they are numerous, but owing to the 

 bushy nature of the country and the wild- 

 ness of the birds, few good bags have been 

 made. On the Colorado river pheasants 

 are being propagated and many young have 

 been seen this year. The country is ideal 

 for this class of game birds, and it will be 

 but a few years until they can be taken. 

 We are protecting them as well as possible, 

 but the Indians have been caught killing 

 the old birds and peddling them in the 

 towns of California. We have sent officers 

 after them and they must either let the birds 

 alone or be arrested for violating the game 

 law.

F. H., Carson City, Nev., says, "Ducks 

 receive most attention and doves afford 

 practice in the close season." 



To this I wish to add: the Carson City 

 Gun club, and many others who profess to 

 be law abiding citizens, devote their atten- 

 tion to the grouse, old and young, and to 

 quails. 



At Marlette lake last fall the watchman, 

 name Close, had quail and grouse feathers 

 around his house and grouse cooking on 

 his stove when called on ; while in Ash 

 Canyon, North and Swift's Canyons, Little 

 Valley, Jacks Valley, etc., the game mur- 

 derers' work could be heard going on from 

 August 15 till the coming of the snow. 



There are great numbers of doves. They 

 come about April 15, leaving September 15. 

 They are protected neither by law nor hu- 

 manity. The hogs shoot the old birds when 

 they come, while hatching and when they 

 bring their young down from the hills. 



Roast the game hogs !
