cutters on a continuous grade,
taking out the high places and
filling in the low ones, so that in
wet weather pools of water will
not stand in the cutters for weeks,
as they do at present, stagnate,
stink and become fever-breeding
spots, a menace to the health of
the community and an eye-sore to
everyone who comes into the town.
After the street has been turn
piked it should receive covering
of coarse rock and then covering
of fine gravel, and these cover
ings should include the cutters as
we'll as the center of the road, for
they should be hard and solid to
carry off the water rapidly.
The first and most important
feature to be looked after in the
building of a town is the sanitary
conditions, and clean streets and
good drainage arc the first essen
tials for perfect sanitary condit-
ions.
All these things can be accom-
plished in our town. 1t will cost
something, but the Improvements
will be worth the price, for if we
do not seize the opportunity and
build on modern plans from hence
forth some other town may spring
up in this vicinity which will do
SO; a condition that would not at
all be to our benefit.

THE BlUESTONf SHUT DOWN.
Work Entirely Suspended Through the Act.
ton of HaIf-a-Dozen Dissatisfied Men.

Last Saturday the Excelsior
Company, of this place, closed
down its smelter at the Bluestone
mine to make some alterations in
the plant. For some time past the
furnace feeders have been bother
ed with fumes and dust, and it has
not been very desirable job. To
remedy this matter the company
closed down and proceeded to
change the stack so that the fumes
would go up the fue and not
cause the feeders inconvenience,
and in doing this the company
was virtually throwing away from
one to two tons of flue dust every
day, which carries about 7 per
cent. copper. These changes had
been finished and the furnace was
about to be blown in Wednesday
morning when the assistant Taper
refused to work unless he received
raise in wages of fifty cents a
day, or $3.50 instead of So, which
was being paid. The Taper also
refused to work unless this raise
was made. Supt. of the smelter,
Richard Lloyd tried to secure other
men to take the job but could find
none to do so. This necessitated
the closing of the furnace again,
and, consequently the closing of
the mine. About 40 men were
laid off altogether, and probably
more than half of them have left
the camp before this time, as all
were paid up in full when they
were given their time.
Just how long the shut down
will last the company is not pre-
pared to state, but when the mine
and smelter does start up again
the men may consider themselves
lucky if they get as short hours
and as good pay as they had be-
fore.
AS near as we can understand
things, the Excelsior Company
started in here with a very fair
scale of wage; in fact the going
wages for smeltermen in Montana,
Colorado and Utah were being
paid, and the company put the
men on 8-hour shifts last Spring
without the asking.
All the miners who were at
work have no complaint to make
against the company, as they un-
derstand that the mine cannot be
operated unless the smelter runs.
We do not understand that the
Miners Union of this place is in
any way to blame for the situa-
ton of to-day, as it was no mem
Der of the Union who precipitated
the condition.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that
the company and the men may
soon come to some amicable agree
ment about wages so that the plant
may be started up, and it should
be remembered that a company
which comes into country and
spends the money that the Excel
sior Company has is entitled to
some little consideration.

AT the risk of being found fault
with by some people in this COM
munity, we desire to find little
fault with the condition of the
main street of the town. To a
great many the street may appar-
emily be all right, as it compares
more than favorably with the other
roads in the valley. At the pres
ent time the street is hard, smooth
and not very dusty, but it is not
built right to remain that way in
all kinds of weather. 1t is low in
the center, the cutters Gf that is
what you may call them) are not
on grade, and the material of
which the road is constructed will
never make road that is not ex-
pensive to keep in repair. 1t is a
DOLBY soil, which in dry and windy
weather blows away, and in which,
in wet weather, you are liable to
leave your boots or shoes while
crossing the street.
There is natural grade to Main
Street the entire distance through
town, and the fall is sufficient from
north to south to give all the drain
age necessary to keep the stree,
free from debris and filth. There
is only one way to build a street
in town like Yerington, and that
is to first put the street and its

NEVADA.

VIM. M. BUNKER, OF California
discussed the commercial possibil-
tiles to the United States which
would result through full irriga-
ton, at the Trans-Mississippi Com
mercial Congress recently held in
Cripple Creek, Colorado. He in
sisted that the success of our bat
tie for commercial supremacy on
the Pacific demands that our great
arid region shall be reclaimed so
as to furnish food products for the
rapidly growing demand of the
Asiatic market on American mer-
chants; or, as he further stated it,
the expansion of our trade in the
Orient must be simultaneous with
the reclamation of cur arid area.
To this question Mr.. Bunker has
given no little study, supplement-
ed by a recent extended trip
through Asia and Europe. His
remarks were illustrated with
stereopticon views of Asiatic
scenes, among them a steamer on
one of the Chinese rivers, laden
with American -four. He present
ed figures to show that American
exports to Asia advanced from
$36,ooo,ooo in 1898 to $7o,ooo,ooo
in 1899, and clearly showed the
ability of the Orient to absorb any
agricultural surplus the United
States could produce. He brought
out the close relationship between
our Asiatic trade and irrigation
production in a statement of the
inability of the Orientals, particu-
larly the Chinese, to increase their
natural food resources, also be-
cause of the Oriental preference
for our food products.
Slowly but surely the fact is
being forced to the front that our
arid regions will be called upon to
produce to their utmost. The peo-
pie of the East are awak ening to
the fact, also, that no more FEAST
BILE way to create market for
their manufactures can be suggest
ed than to inaugurate a system of
irrigation which will put the mil
lions of arid acres between the
Rockies and the Sierras under
cultivation, thereby making homes
for hundreds of thousands of fam
lilies. When this time comes our
little, old State of Nerada will not
be found in the back pew when
it comes to the proposition of pro-
duction. A railroad will then tap
every valley in the State, and Ma
son Valley, among the others, will
become a thickly settled commu-
nifty of prosperous farmers with
pleasant homes and surroundings.
