A Possible Potato Market.

j. 0. Birmingham and wife, Of
Mason Valley, returned this week
from quite an extended visit to
different parts of the great State of
Texas. To TIMES reporter he
stated that in all his ramblings he
did not find any place that he pre-
ferred to Nevada, particularly Ma
son Valley. He says that cotton
is the main crop raised in Texas,
and that large land owners have
a good grip there. Nearly all the
small farmers rent their land from
the large owner and pay a stiff
price for it. One thing that inter-
ested Mr.. Birmingham was the
price of potatoes there. He says
very few are raised compared with
the number consumed, and that
from the latter part of February
until new potatoes come In, the
price of potatoes is abut $1.25 per
bushel, and that it is then hard to
get first-class article. AS Nevada
potatoes keep well it may be that
our producers can find a market
there provided they can get reason.
able transportation rates. At $1.25
per bushel potatoes would bring
about $40 per ton in Texas. If the
transportation did not amount to
over half that, our producers could
afford to ship. He intends to look
into the matter.

Railroad RumOrs.

Many rumors about another rail-
road across the State have been
flying about lately, but there seems
to be no foundation for any report
except that which says road will
soon be built into the Deep Greek
country. Numerous routes have
been surveyed across the State and
over the Sierras, but by what COM
panies and which route will be Sc
lected is not known. A route from
Churchill county up the Carson
river would be an excellent one,
and would open up some excellent
agricultural country, and would
encounter at the head of the valley
a rich timber country, also more
or less mining country. Either
this or route up through Mason
and Smith vallies and over to the
head of Carson valley and across
the Placerville pass would be as
inexpensive and profitable a route
as any that could be constructed.

Harrison Mines.

Assessment work is being done
on nearly all the mines in Harrison
District in Mason Valley. The ore
being taken out is looking better
than ever, and that from the 100
foot level of Pat Gallagher's mine
is prospecting well in coarse gold.
New timbers are being put in the
main shaft, and by the first of the
new year everything will be in full
blast. If the prospects continue to
look as well as they do now an ar
rastre will probably be built in the
Spring. The mines look as though
they will aid materially in building
up Mason Valley in the future.

Butter Cows and Profit.

There can be no doubt that a vast
number of cows are kept by dairy
men which do not pay for their
keeping. The average yearly pro-
duction of butter by some members
of almost every herd is far below
the profit yielding point. Every
such COW is burden upon her own
er, and reduces the profit of those
whose yield returns something above
the cost of maintenance. Some
striking figures illustrative of this
point are given by one who has
made thorough study of the sub
ject. They are as follows:
Ten 200-pound butter COWS would
yield profit in ten years of ~, 600.
Ten 300-pounds cows would yield
profit in ten years of $4,250.
Ten 400-pound cows would yield
a profit in ten years of $6,487.5 so.
Ten 500-pound COWS would yield
a profit in ten years of $8,675.
/. Ten 600-pound cows would yield
profit in ten year of $1,000.
This would be the net yield after
deducting $25 a year for keeping
from two to twelve years old. The
estimate is based on the disposal of
the product at % cents a pound,
and none of the cows are credited
with a full yield of milk until five
years of age.
These are highly suggestive fig
ures. Particularly noticeable is the
ratio Of increase of profit of the
200-pound COW to the one yielding
400 pounds. The yield is only
doubled, but the profit has trebled.
Such results are not attained with
out effort, but surely they are worth
some effort, for they mark the differ
ence between success and dismal
failure and loss.

The EmtertaInlnet.

The entertainment given at the
Odd Fellows Hall on the evening
of the 10Th was a very enjoyable
affair, notwithstanding the stars of
the troupe were suffering with a
severe attack of la grippe, and was
well attended. The songs render
ed by Mrs. Stoddard and Miss
Sheldon were charming, as was al
so the instrumental music by the
Misses. Sheldon and Cochrane,
Cofin's sermon was good, and the
Darktown Colored Band brought
down the house. Barnes violin
execution was also great.

GEN. CONNOR's GRIT.
How He Euchred Brigham Young In
salt Lake.

salt Lake.
When the late Gen. Conner took
charge of Camp Douglass, in Salt
Lake, he found that the city authori-
ties there held the Government of
the United States in absolute con-
tempt. 1t was the regular thing for
the Mormons to imprison United
States soldiers for such ordinary
offenses as drunkenness and disturb
ing the peace, and make them work
ON the streets in Uncle Sans uni
form and a ball and chain on their
legs.
Gen. Conner notified the city au-
thorities that he should demandth the
turning over to him Of all U. S. SOL
diers arrested in Salt Lake for dis
orderly conduct or drunkenness, to
be tried under the provisions ofmil-
itary law at Camp Douglass.
He received no reply to this, and
next day soldier was imprisoned
by the Mormons and notification
sent to Connor'that he could come
up and get him if he thought he was
able.
About an hour after this a squad
of cavalry, headed by Conner, swept
into Salt Lake from Camp Douglas,
and halted in front of the city Jail.
There was an empty saddle in the
squad.
1t took about five minutes for the
soldiers to cut down a telegraph pole,
and using it as battering ram they
smashed in the prison door and took
out their man. He was soon in the
saddle, and rode back to Camp
Douglas with the squad.
Young sent word to Conner to
return the prisoner at once, but
Conner trained his guns on their
temple and threatened to demolish
it if he got any more impertinent
messages from the Mormons.
He cowed Young, and from that
on was master of the situation.
Some years later Gen. Sherman
met Conner at the Walker House
and invited him to visit the temple.
Conner declined and Sherman
pressed the invitation.
General" said Conner, 81 hold
everything connected with Mormon
ism in absolute contempt, and if you
repeat the invitation / shall regard
it as a personal insuit."
Conner was one of the greatest
Indian fighters of his time, and a
man of great personal courage and
adherence to principal. He at one
time sought the Congressional NOM
ination from this State, but was
beaten in the Convention.
