Mr.. Cain was fortunate in that he made
all kinds Of friends and few, compare

promptly and intelligently done. In his
position he was required to handle the
distribution OF all of the supplies FOR
the State house and pass on acquisitions
for all State printing for all Of the de-

He was fortunate In that he soon
gained an intelligent idea of the necessi-
ties Of the various officers and that he
could hold orders for the supplies down
to a reasonable point without giving
ofPense to the officer making the reQulsi-

A Big Placer Mine.

J. G.. Ricbey owner of the Old Big
turned from Denver Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Richey has been in Denver for
several weeks where he organized a
company to operate that we'll known
placer proposition. Big Bar has been
recognized as the richest aurlfeTous de-
post on the famed Salmon uveI for
many years but this treasure has been
elusive. Schemes without end have
been devised to gather the cold, but
engineers mistakes and mismanage-
ment have brought disaster to every
former promoter. There is million
dollars in this bar but the water prob
lem has never yet benn worked to a
practical solution. In years past for
tunes have been speht in appliances
for raising water to the deposit 100 feet
above the river by steam pumping
appliances and hydraulic trans
mission system to find them impotent
and inadequate by practical tests.
The Salmon River Gold Mining Co
has been organized and Mr.. Richcy is
the manager, for the PURPOSE Of work
ing the high bar by means Of water
pumped by water power from the river
A race will be cons tructed 10 feet wide
and three quarters of Il mile long which
will run huge pump with turbine
wheel and at the same time furnish
water for u suice head, The pump
will raise pipe head 100 feet high
The gravel deposit is so feet deep on
the bar all of which contains gold
The pay streak is seven feet deep and
carries 81 so IN shot gold to the gard.
This company has ample means, and
practical men pronounce The scheme
rs altogether feasible. This mine is
only 80 miles from Lewiston aud this
city will be headquarters for the oper-
ating force 1t is one of the most ex
tensive placer propositions in the
northwest.

Think of our Congress

Senator John L. Morgan of Alabama
one of the Hawaiian Commissioners, was
asked when in Reno his opinion of oul
Senators and especially of Senator Stew
art, who is a candidate for reelection
and sent the following reply from Sar
Francisco.
EDITOR STATE JOURNAL. RENO, NEv-
DEAR SIR: Your inquiry gives me an op
portunity that is very gratifying to me
to express conviction that is very strong
in The Senate, that Nevada is represented
in that body by two Senators of great a
bility.
Senator Stewart is one of our most ex
perienced statesmen and his abilities are
closely stamped on many measures of
great and general Importance. As
to matters affecting Nevada and the Coast
States of the Pacific, his efforts to care
for the people have always been conspic-
uous and very successful.
His vigilance and industry have i'm.
pressed me with profound respect for
his sense of duty. No State, or people
ever had a more loyal Representative than
Senator Stewart His attitude on the
silver question is due entirely to his firm
and intelligent conviction that the return
to the early policy of Washington, jeff
erson and Jackson is necessary, in fact,
to preserve the liberties of the people
against the insidious march of monopo-
ly, bent on their subjugation. In this
and in many things l agree with him; in
some / oppose his views, but he is an an
tagonist that fights in the open, with un-
firing courage and persistence. The man
who defeats him is always ready to ac-
knowledge his prowess. For every hon
est man he has an honest respect, wheth-
er he is in error, or is on the right road
Very Truly Yours,
John T. Morgan.

Threshina Grain.

Just now when every one is having
their grain threshed, it might be we'll to
bear in mind the following hints, gained
from long years of experience: With a
fipe roller mill, capable of turning. oui

delivered to the mill, which, though
really fine plump wheat, is really unfit to
make -four of because it has not been
properly handled in the harvesting. and
threshing, but contains little pebbles
about the size of kernal of wheat
There is no known method of separating
this from the grain, and is consequently
milled, and not only spoils the Hour but
Is an injustice to the miller.
To obviate this, be sure you place your
grain stack on ground free from gravel,
or else put layer of straw on the ground
and build the stack on II. Great care
should be taken in loading the erlin
from the fields that every bunch is FREQ
from sand. In cleaning u the stack
after threshing, leave a sack or two ON tts

belongs to all Of us, bnt yours the honor
of giving him to us.
with all respect to Others my oqinion
is that any man in America could be bet

Stewart. Give him again to us who fight
with you, and in 1900 we will again en-

The Water Divided.
How The Stored Water Was Used
Concluded on third page

When the river began to fall in the ear
ly part of July and water famine ap-
peared immenent, man was engaged by
the farmers to SO direct the flow of Il e
water, that the greatest benefit could e
obtained. Charles Brown the man ap-
pointed, began his duties and as the river
got lower and lower, soon saw that in a
very few days there would be no water to
divide.
At this time the Reservoirs of the AL
pine Land and Reservoir Company were
opened. The effect was immediate and
soon the bitches under the water masters
direction were each carrying a stream on
to the parched and burning crops, and
continued to run with slight variations
for eight consecutive days, at which
time the danger of a water famine
was averted, and the natural conditions
soon caused the river to raise again.
Several new points OF interest have
been learned by this experiment LIST.
That the Carson river reaches its lowest
stage about July 30th
End That small body of water run
ming in the river channel loses much
more in proportion, than swifter body
of fresh water.
3rd. That water stored in reservoirs
in the winter and spring, and held back
until needed, is safe and sure means OF
obtaining a water supply. 4th. That
the cost of storing and diverting the
water is about GO cents per acre and with
a large quantity, would probably be
much less.
In engineer Chalmers report no men
ton or allowance is made for the natural
force of the river from the time the
stored water was emptied into the river Il
til the time it ceased running, and il an al
lowance was made of q inch per day, The
total of water delivered in the bitches
would appear much greater The stored
water was delivered through the followire
bitches to the ranchers named as follows
Virginia ditch, Elges Island ditch
Company ditch, Hograf slough Cotton
wood slough, main river channel.

stored water are: Chris Danberg, FRI d

absolutely essential that he should be re-
turned. | know of no man whose defeat
