a borrowed gun, and when he ran

found that he was minus a piece Of

was spattered all over his clothes

Grapes ON AlkaIi Land.

w. w. Coughran, of Tulare, has
twenty acres of land south of the
city which were planted to grapes
last Winter. This land contains
five different varieties of soil, one
spot being black alkali, another
white alkali and a third what may
be denominated scale alkali. This
latter is hardly susceptible of cul-
tivation, from the fact that it "bul-
ges up" after being irrigated, and is
very loose and porous. Mr.. Cough
ran has found but little trouble in
raising strong and healthy vines on
the white and black alkali spots,
but has learned that the land does
better when little or no water is
used; but it needs thorough cult
walton, and that often.
There is no reason why grapes
cannot be raised on Nevada soil
as we'll as that of California. In
whatever locality grape vines have
been planted in this county and
given proper attention, they have
grown nicely. More of them should
be planted.

The Wilhelma Mine .

VIM. Trudgen, VIM. Byers and
John Murphy, owners of the Will
helma mine in Daney Canyon, yes
terday struck the ledge for which
they have been sinking. The mine
is the extension of the old Daney,
and the owners have sunk a shaft
rs feet through debris before strik-
ing bedrock. They have struck
the east wall of the ledge, and if
they can get down a sufficient
depth they will crosscut to the west
wall, probably 10 or IL feet. The
ore so far discovered horns about
$25 per ton. Over score of shafts
have been sunk to strike this ledge
which is supposed to be the contin-
uation of the ledge that was lost in
the Daney.

The Odeon Athletic Club.

Last Tuesday evening "Tex"
Warren and Jim Lothrop had lit
tie Gosh" in front Of the Union Ho-
tel and "Tex" in the afterclap got a
welt in the eye that disfigured that
member for several days. "Tex"
did not know whether to take the
matter seriously or not, but the boys
concluded that they would fix up a
gymnasium in the back of the Odeon
saloon. They accordingly stuffed a
barley sack with sawdust, made a
couple of Indian clubs out of a
6x6 timber and furnished a pair or
two of kid gloves. "Tex" was de-
lighted with the interest the boys
took in putting him in condition,
and Immediately started in to punch
the sawdust out of the bag. He
made things lively for time and
the bag only got in one or two
knockdowns on him. He considers
that his first days training took off
about 20 pounds of flesh, and in a
few more days he expects to be in
condition to knock out all corners.
We notice that Jim Corbett has a
challenge in the San Francisco pa
per to fight any man in the world.
If the money can be raised in town
we would suggest that match be
brought about with Mr.. Warren.
He will be about Corbett's size when
in fighting trim, and under the Day
ton prize ring rules we think he
could make it very interesting for
Mr.. Corbett, unless Mr.. Corbett's
father would interfere.

Mason Valley Items.
WABusKA. Aug. IA. 1

WABUsKA, Aug. IA, 1891.
A delegation of six Cheyenne
Indians came to the valley on
Wednesday.
w. r. Lee, of St. Claire, Church
i'll county, came up on Thursday to
put up the machinery in the Will
son flour mill.
There is not an orchard in the
valley whose trees are not overbur-
dened with fruit and requiring props
to support the branches.
J. S. Craig and ]. G. Young were
elected to represent Anchor Lodge,
at the Grand Lodge of A. o. U. w.
to be held in Ogden the 10Th inst.
If Mason Valley ranchers would
measure their acreage of wheat and
barley, and carefully measure or
weigh their crop the average per
acre would astonish the world.
1t is estimated by business men
Of Mason Valley that the Indians
spent a thousand dollars in and
about the Switch during their last
big dance. They consumed about
three thousand pounds of beef alone.
Among the written statements
given to Prof. C. S. Young, on the
productiveness of Mason Valley soil
was one from a reliable rancher who
claims to have raised twenty-five
tons of potatoes to the acre.
Quite number of young ladies
from different parts of the State
have been visiting the valley in
search of schools. 1t seems to be a
popular idea with young teachers
that they must get their first expe-
rience in country school.

being used by the ranchers in Doug
lass county is to be turned into the

probably run full handed for sever

FIGHTING FOR FRUIT.
An Energetic Crusade Necessary
Against Its Enemies.

Against AtB hInemhtSs
At a recent meeting of the Direc-
tors of the State Board Of Trade,
says the Reno Gazette, the import
ance of a constant and determined
fight against fruit pests was dis
cussed, and it was ordered that pub
lie attention be called to the subject.
1t was stated that it had become
impossible to obtain decent apple
at Ogden and that it would soon be
as bad at Honey Lake. Different
valleys in Nevada are beginning to
be troubled, and it will require a
constant and bitter study to keep
out the destroyers. Farmers and
others should not set out any more
trees than they can attend to prop
erly, for they will not only breed
pests which will ruin their own or
chards, but those of their neighbors.
Some legislation on this subject may
become necessary, as it has been in
other States.
The Agricultural Experiment
Station is ready to aid our fruit
growers all they can, and depart
ment is maintained under the charge
of Professor Hillman, who has al
ready issued several valuable bull
letins on these matters.
Insect pests can be controlled by
modern methods and appliances,
and if timely information is sent to
the Station relative to the appear
ance, marked financial profits may
result to fruit growers and farmers.
One of the problems in the man
agement of this department is how
to organize force for securing in
formation promptly. 1t is felt that
teachers and scholars in rural dis
tricts could make themselves ex-
tremely useful to the community by
part in this movement. Let the
children be encouraged to collect
and submit to their teachers speci-
mems of new strange forms of insect
life, and let the teachers devote an
hour or two of school time, now and
then, to explaining the life habits
of insects which may threaten to
cause trouble in any neighborhood.
The etomologist of this station
will mail to teachers detailed and
comprehensive descriptions of the
various stages of development of any
specimens received here, and in
cases of need he will, if possible,
visit the localities, address schools
and demonstrate by field work the
the course to be pursued in combat
ting any dangerous pest.
Directions for sending insect pests
are as follows: Insects should be
sent by mail in close, strong boxes
tin or wood. A little cotton with
the insect will prevent injury. In
case larvae, caterpillars or grubs are
sent, some of their food plants
should be enclosed with them. Any
information regarding insects sent
will be gratefully received and may
prove very valuable; state where
found, damage done, and any other
facts.
