THE Tonopah Bonanza, in speak

that camp, intimates that there are
knockers within the ranks of the
'Tonopah Company itself, and it
does seem strange that things
have not gone along at swifter
rate since that camp was discover

pie who fell heir to the Tonopah

hands which is too large for their
comprehension. If some men of

THE California State Mining
Bureau is doing a good work in
exposing wildcat schemes in that
State. Some time ago a mining
company was formed in Rochester,
New York, and capitalized at $Io,-
100000. Literature was sent
broadcast over the country guar
anteeing dividends on investments
in a very short time. A repre-
sentative of the Bureau was sent
out to investigate the property
and found that it was not of
enough value to pay the expenses
of working. No doubt a consid-
cradle amount of stock of this
company was sold to people who
could lily afford to lose the money
they invested in it, but the expose
made by the Bureau will probably
prevent any more people from
losing their money by investing it
with this company.
Nevada should have State
Mining Bureau, if for no other
purpose than to attend to cases
similar to the above. Our State is
now on the upgrade in mining
way and there are plenty of OPP
portunities for legitimate invest
ments. That wildcat schemes
will be tried in this State goes
without. saying, and it is just as
certain that they will do consider
able damage to our good name
abroad if not closely watched for
and headed off.

THE Virginia Chronicle grows
facetious because we object to its
intimating that a Mason Valley
mine is located on the Comstock.
1t also remarks that giving credit
to original articles is a "vexed
question" and cites an instance
where somebody stole some of the
Chronicle mans eloquence, and
was treated with the magnanimlty
of silent contempt. 1t matters not
to US how many items of news
other papers take from the TIMES,
so long as they are reproduced in
a manner which will give the dis
trict to which they refer the credit.
Some twenty years ago, when a
little new in the newspaper bust
ness, it used to please us to have
other papers say: "The, LYON
COUNTY TIMES says" That kind
of thing does not bother us any
more, and it won't bother the
Chronicle man when he has been
in business few more years. But
we do most seriously object to hav-
ing our contemporaries reconstruct
our items so that the outside world
is given the idea that Lyon coun-
tvs mines and other resources are
located in any other county but
Lyon. 1t is not fair to our section
of the country to do this. Nevada
is coming to the front in all kinds
Of ways just now, and there are
opportunities for safe investments
in our district. We do not object
to see other sections forging ahead
in a mining or agricultural way,
but are bound that our section
shall be properly recognized; that
our resources shall not be located
elsewhere by shiftless writers with
out their hearing from us about it.

SORTING POTATOES.

Good rodCr and execution are mcrtOr-
iOus III any and every kind of work we
have to perform, and invariably they
have their reward, yet phase of neglect
or absolute slouchincss seems to charac-
tcrizc much that many do, and cncroach-
es more or less on what we all do. To
know an evil we'll is to suffer the incon-
yenencc of our own failures so we feel
confident to portray the shortcomings of
others.
During the time of potato digging,
had occasion to drive past several fields
where potato digging was going on, and
talk with several about their crop. |
asked the question of several if they sort
their potatoes when they pick them up.
In most cases the reply was. "Oh, no I!
| expect to nave more time when | mar
ket them - This idea may seem plauS-
ibe to some, but if there are 100 bushels
of small potatoes among the 800 bushels
put away, then there are 100 bushels
that must be handled over twice if they
are not sorted ont in the field at the time
of picking up, and it is not easier to
separate them ut that time than when

good prices during the fall and winter
months, and the feathers, which may be
