Unknown generally to the public a
diamond drill was set up in tn, M,

couple of weeks ago. and since that
time has been kept busily at work IN

in the south cut of the Mizpah at dis,
lance of 100 feet from the 700 foot
station in the main shaft No drifting

follow in the next week or two.
During the week large body OF

BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION.
Carson Valley Shows What Water
Can do in Nevada.

Carson Valley is probably the best
lesson that can. be read by any indi.
vidual. or in fact, any body Of citi-
zens regarding the benefits Of irriga-
ton Of arid lands. The valley is pro
badly the richest IN the state Of New
ada and all from the work Of the set
tiers and the aid Of irrigation.
This end Of the valley, where water
is AZ scarce a. on the,desert, the lands
are Abselutelt4 unproducttxe >and void
Of vegetation, The, contrary is observ-
ed ID the other ehd Of the Wiley where
water has Been appfied. 9Thodsands OF
acres Of the best land that men cult
vate are producing the richest crops
that can be harvested, The farmers OF
the valley have turned their attention
to the raising Of alfalfa and not a ton
is left over at the end ,of the season.
Foreign buyers and stock raisers have
learned Of the rich grass that grows
up that way and every year the valley
is crowded with stock The producer
never has to leave his door yard to
dispose of every pound of alfalfa or
grass hay that is cut
Before the Industrious farmers took
hold Of this section, it was only in
the overflow districts that any grass
was grown. This was cut and fed to
the home stock and a buyer looking
for cattle would hunt the valley over
in order to get enough cattle to make
a shipment, Today thousands of the
best beef cattle that can be grown
are shipped every season from Carson
Valley.
All this was brought about by the
application of intelligent irrigation
The farmers took what nature handed
them and have developed one of the
richest valleys that the West knows
The lands are no better than in this
valley, but the class of farmers know
how to develop what they have.

Getting in Early.

Since it has been known that the
mineral land of the Walker Lake re
servation is soon to be thrown open
to the prospector, a number of parties
have been prospecting on reservation
land. OF course they can make no 10
cations which can be placed on rec
ord now, but if they find good pros
poets they can get to them first after
the ground is thrown open for loca
tion.-Lyon County Times.

the idle lands could be put into nearly
as productive condition as those in
the valley above. Under the lands Of
Carson and her little valley there is
a body Of water that would flood ev-
cry acre. The experiment of few peo-
pie, with artesian water has demon
strated that there is water that could
be put to ouse that would make this
valley one as productive in size as
the valley above Land that is at pre-
sent only worth q few dollars could be
made worth as many hundred. Take
q ranch that Is productive in Carson
Valley and money will hardly buy it.
As soon IS water is applied to land
It advances q thousand per cent. and
every year more acreage is opened.
The future Of Carson Valley is as
bright as any in this State. The lands
are being placed in a condition that
makes the traveller envy the condit-
ion when compared to that of the val
ley below it.
At the present time there is water
flowing into the Carson sink to cult
vate every idle acre in Carson valley
and when it is placed under cultiva-
ton by the aid of storage systems, it
will make the greatest valley in this
State, if not on the coast. The work of
the National Irrigation law is in evi-
dence all the way up the valley, as the
survey posts of the government are
seen on every side. But while this
work is going on in Carson Valley
the people of this valley had better
move for themselves, as the survey is
intended for the valley above and not
Eagle Valley. If farms are to be made
here they will have to come from OF
her sources than the national law, but
the problem can be solved, as the Ap-
peal has said before on a number of
occasions-pump water onto the acres
and they will return the value a thou
sand fold.

North Star the Scene Of the Latest
Strike.
z The good news that q strike of ore
has been made in North Star has been
received in this city. The shaft is one

The glad tidings were teiegraphed
into Frank Golden. who holds the con-
trolling interest in the mine. This city
. is well represented in the stock hold

have been bought here. It has always

was favorably located and the work
that was being done was as thorough

SIXTY DAYS
May See the Tennessee Central
Completed.
Work Would Have Been COmplet
ed Much Earlier but for Delay
on Cumberland Bridge.

Supt. w. H. Fox, of the Tennessee
Central Construction Company, said
on Sunday evening to an American
representative that the work at all
points OF the road is progressing
very satisfactorily. He said that,
in his opinion, it will be possible to
operate train from Hartman to
Hopkinsville by November l, or very
soon thereafter, and beyond all
question not later than the first OF
the year.
The greatest trouble felt all
along, and which will still proba.
bly, be experienced, is with the
Cumberland River. But for high
water during the spring and late
winter this bridge would now be
practically finished. AS it is, it
lacks much of completion, although
the work is being pushed forward
with all possible speed. The Tenn
essee Central track is now within
eighteen miles of GAINESVILLE. From
Clarksville to Hopkinsville the track
is being laid in some place, while
in others the work of grading is
being finished. There are number
of steel bridges between Nashville
and Hopklnsville, but no delay or
difficulty has been experienced in
getting these in place.
