RYE WITHOUT wArER.
Big Tract OF Land North Of Eureka
May Yet Become Valuable.


at the Luke ranch. at the foot oi
the Ophir grade wagon road, says
the Virginia Chronicle, there is q
stand of fifteen or more acres of rye
SIX feet tall that will yield sixty
bushels to the acre. This yield was
grown without irrigation and is q
volunteer crop, the seed having been
planted two years ago. Mr.. Luke.
proprietor of the ranch. says the
entire plain or valley between the
foot Of the grade and Franktown
would produce prolific rye crops,
requiring to be sowed only once
every two years, the second year or
volunteer crop yielding fully as we'll
as the first year.
Potatoes raised on the Luke ranch
are equal in quality to the best Day
ton crop. Some of those raised ek
the Luke ranch are of abnormal size
and possess the mealy quality which
is Characteristic of potatoes raised in
Lovelook valley, Humboldt county.
The fertility of the soil on the plain
west Of the Luke ranch is evidenced
by the luxuriant growth of sage
brush, the trunks of many Of the
bushes having q girth of foot or
more. As rye fourishes without
irrigation it could be profitably cul-
tivated on the vast plain east Of the
mouth of Six-Mile Canyon, where
in many places the abnormal sage
brush growth indicates the fertility
Of the soil.
Adjoining Eureka on the north is
broad expanse of plain extending
in unbroken smoothness for many
miles. Every indication goes
to show that the soil is remarkably
fertile, but as yet it remains in its
virgin state, for the reason, it is said,
that water can not be cotton upon
it, In spite OF this fact, however.
no person can look upon that broad
and beautiful valley and believe that
it was designed by nature for no
other purpose than to produce sage
brush and other such products of an
arid country. As yet these broad
acres are unsurved Government
lands, but the day is coming when
they will become valuable and con-
tribute their share to the wealth of
Eureka and Eureka county.

John Corkish. while employed in

blown to pieces in an explosion.
One hand was blown off and the
other badly injured. his breast bone
was broken, and both his eyes blown
out, besides being otherwise injured
but Notwithstanding his misfortune
he was married last week to the girl
he was engaged to before ths acci'
dent. Whatever may be said as to
the wisdom of the step this exhibit
tion of constancy and devotion on
the part OF the bride speaks volumes
for the heroism and self-sacri6cing
affection of womankind. If it is
true that marriage at best is lottery,
what kind Of prize did this girl
draw. who voluntarily bound herself
