agement of the Pine Nut mines will
adopt, provided that tests to he made
early next week at the mines shall be
as satisfactory as those made on Ca,~on's
principal street a week ago. The ma
chine saves all the fine gold by a unique
mechanical contrivance. 1t requires
only a constant flow of p inches of water
to work seventy yards of gravel in
twenty-four hours. Five tons of gravel
an hour was the rate at which the ma
chine worked, and repeated tests failed to
show a trace of gold in the tailings.
IF this Wishart machine will do at
Pine Nut what it has done in Carson"
said the secretary and treasurer of the
new company, Its adoption at Pine Nut
is assured"
But Pine Nut with all it's marvellous
possibilities is not Ormsby County's one
mineral hope. The mines at Buckeye.
thirty miles away, are attracting much at
t%ention. There are 1910 acres of the Buck
eye property which will average 81 a
cubic yard. Out of 800 cubic yards 1892
worth of the gold flakes Carsonites are
admiring as bottled exhibits Just now
was obtained. And to-day comes news
of a strike at Jumbo, twenty-five miles
IN the other direction from Carson. On
the streets the rumor is that $4,000 to the
ton is the quality of the ore taken out.
There seems to be a belt of placers half
encircling this valley. And with the de-
velopment, the awakened interest in
mining another Comstock, a golden one
of the probabilities.
FROM sAGEBRUsH TO SUGAR BEET.
The Alpine Land and Reservoir Com
pany is another cause that will aid in the
development of Western Nevada. The
most capable men in Carson are mem
bers of this company, which is headed
by the Governor of the State. The COM
pany owns 5000 acres of land in Douglas
and Ormsby counties which will be
worth from $50 to $50 an acre when irri-
gated. The company's reservoir is in
Alpine county; and despite the pooh
pooling of capitalists whose enterprise
consists in banking their monev, steps
will be taken within the near future to
change a sagebrush empire into farms
which will support 1000 farmers. Sugar
beetS is to be the ~watchword of the Al
pine company after the necessary $4,000
has been raised to'buy up rights of way,
etc. The late Governor Jones superin-
tended experimental planting of beets in
varions parts OF Nevada. 1t was found
that beetS raised in this Sagebrush land
produce Il per cent sugar, 5 per cent
more than the average on the coast. The
comparative cheapness Ofthe land there
the vast territory which will he irrigated
from the company's reservoir seem to
assure Nevada's pre-eminence as a future
b~eet-sugar country.

At Carson are located many State and
national installations, the combined APP
preparations for which amount to many
tens Of thousands of dollars annually.
The State Orphan ASYLUM. the State
Prison, and Indian School, the car shops
of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, the
Mint, the State printing office are among
those that contribute to the prosperity of
the town. Recently the amount of borax

California, supplying Riverside and Red
