COMMERCIAL CLUB THE PIVOT
ON WHICH INDUSTRIAL LIFE
REvoLvEs.

The progress made In Las Vegas
for some time past has been marked, 3
said e. Chacon, Esq, the Meadow
City interpreter Of the United States
.eeart Of private land claims, in the
lobby Of the Claire hotel today. THE
eniarging Of the Ice plant makes the
Ice Industry an important factor in the
development Of the town as 1t will
give employment to hundreds OF men
during the winter, The ice is excel
lent, being Of real mountain water,
right out of the heart OF the canyon
five miles from the city, Just above
the springs, in n of the most beanti-
ful places In the mountains. The new
Commercial club is the pivot on which
all the industrial life Of Las Vegas re-
wolves. The Matt copper mill has
BEEN running, and the management
has reported the runs as being most
satisfactory. The ore treated Is from
the Tecolote district, and while not
much work is being done there just
now, many Of those who have investi-
gated the possibilities are very hops
full Of the best possible results. The
friction between the two towns Is fast
wearing out. A sign OF progress In
West Las Vegas was the passage OF
an ordinance by the town board MAX

Greatest Dam 10 the World.

The ASsouan dam on the river
Nile. one of the most wonderful
achievements of man, has been
completed and dedicated. The
Assouan dam and the Assiout bar
rage are monuments to British en-
gineering skill and progressive
policy. These great works, which
have cost between one hundred
and one hundred and twenty-five
million dollars, will systematic
irrigation, impart security to crops
and stability to harvests, and
greatly widen the area of the
Nile lands under cultivation. The
dam is one and one-fourth miles
long and will hold the water 1916
feet above the level of the Medi-
terranean. The dam is pierced by
I8o openings, each 23 feet high
and 7 feet wide. Each sluice is
fitted with steel gates, adjustable
at will, so as to allow the water to
go in and out. An idea of the
immensity of the labor involved
in the construction may be obtain
ed from the fact that the founda-
tions of some of the sluices go IS
feet below the ordinary rock sur
face. The Nile will be held up by
dam 100 feet thick at the base,
and the valley above it will be
flooded for so miles. The experts,
by way of comparison, calculate
that the reservoir will hold water
enough for years full supply for
every town and village in the
United Kingdom. The engineer
ing works also include an open
weir or barrage at Assiout, long
way down the Nile, by which the
distribution of the water from the
great reservoir is secured over an
immense area.

Poultry Pointers.

Large roosters and small hens is
a very poor combination.
Scalded milk and cooked rice
will generally stop diarrh9a in
fowls.
Indigestion, one of the worst
diseases among poultry, is often
caused by sour, mouldy food.
Eggs intended to be hatched in
an incubator should never be al
lowed to become chilled.
In order to have poultry tender
and juicy they must be fattened
quickly. Two weeks of good feed
ing are usually sufficient.
Use plenty of lime in the poul-
try house. 1t win kill lice, is a
good disinfectant, will purify the
air, it destroys virmin and prevents
gapes.
One of the best ways of feeding
oats to poultry is to put the grain
in a tub at night, pour scalding
water over it, let stand until morn
ing and feed while warm.
When the fowls are closely con-
fined, or when the ground is COW
cred with snow, they must have
bulky food. Cut clover hay, well
steamed, is good, as are also cab
bage leaves.

Business Methods Should be Used In Farming.

Since the farmer has acquired
the subtitle of business man it
behooves him to use business
methods. Agricultural operations
should be conducted with the same
order and system which character
ize the conduct of any great busi-
ness.
1t is, indeed, poor farmer who
does not know whether he is gain
ing or losing, but many farmers
regard their business as a whole,
having no particularly definite
notion as to which of the many
features or departments that go to
make up a farm is profitable, and
which is being operated at loss.
Keeping an expense and profit
account is not so uninteresting as
it sounds; in fact, we may say
that it stimulates interest in farm
ing. For instance, an inventory
of the poultry on the farm can
easily be taken and an estimate of
the feed per month be made The
extraordinary returns from the
poultry department will astonish
one who has kept no strict account.
Perhaps he knew before that there
was some profit from this source,
but little work in bookkeeping
will approximate the exact profit.
The same system may be used
with a cultivated field occupied by
any crop. The field is debited
with the labor, cost of seed, ex-
pense of harvesting and market
ing, and then credited with the
sale of the crop. This is a practi-
cal business method, and through
its use the farmer may intelligent
ly occupy his premises with such
crops as pay the largest dividends
on the cost of production. An an
nual inventory of stock and a trial
balance at the end of each year
tells the farmer how he stands fl
nancially. By keeping separate
account with each branch of live
stock he can soon shape his affairs
to devote his reso,rces and capital
to pushing the particular kind of
stock that pays the largest profit.
Farm bookkeeping should be more
generally adopted; it is educa-
tional and shows in a convincing
manner the thrifty possibilities of
diversified agriculture.-Ameyica

The Cananea Copper Mine.

w. c. Green has disposed of
his interests in the Cananea cop
per mine, in Mexico, to the Rock
efellers. 1t is stated that Mr.
Green let go of this property be-
cauce, with all its boasted value,
it was being operated on a very
close margin of profit. Labor diff
ficulties seem to be the main OBJ
stacles. The new company will
practice the most rigid economy
and probably employ Mexican la
Dor exclusively. Four and one
half per cent. ore hardly pays,
and the company will not operate
any but the higher grade portions
of the property. A difficulty with
the ore is that it requires an inn
mense amount of f1uX.

Is This a BuncO Game 2

SOme weeks ago the .SZLOeT STATE,
OF Winnemucca, published an ex-
pose OF the methods practiced by
the acknowledgements Mining Co.,
a concern which is using the his
tory of the old Arizona mine, in
Humboldt county, to catch eastern
suckers. The article would have
been libelous if it had not been
true. The article was written in
an endeavor not only to protect
gulllble fasteners, but to save
Humboldt county, and the State,
from receiving a black eye as
place of investment.
The Reno Gazette has now also
taken up the matter, and says:
The California-Nevada Mining
Co. is doing business that to a man
up a tree would not seem to be
legitimate. The working of the
company's mines in Humboldt
county has never yet warranted
the paying of anything but assess
ments. The mill, as it is under
stood, is an old rattle-trap which
was sold for taxes years ago. If
eastern people, or those in the
West, put money into the Califor-
MIA Nevada Mining Cos. property
it is safe gamble that at least so
per cent. of it is gone up. The
company may keep the public
nibbling on the promise of big
dividends, but they will never re-
alize-that is, the Gazette does not
believe they will.
The more enterprises" Nevada
has like the California-Nevada
Mining Co, the poorer she will be.
Stock-jobbing killed the State in
years back, and it will kill it again
if wildcats are allowed to rope in
people on poor speculations.
Several days ago, the gazette
Mining Department was called
upon for information as regards
this company, and to be frank it
must be said that the investigation
has lead to the belief that the
company is stock-jobbing con-
Germ. 1t is understood that the
company is paying dividends, but
as near as can be found out the
dividends come from the sale of
stock and not from the proceeds
of working the mine.
Some weeks ago the TIMES re-
ceived some literature from the
California-Nevada Mining Compa-
ny with the proposition to buy
numerous extra copies of any is
sue which might contain favorable
mention of their Humboldt county
property. The claims of the COM
pany seemed so exorbitant that
the magnanimous proposition was
at once deposited in our waste
paper basket. If half was true
as stated by this company about
its Nevada property, Humboldt
county could not hold the people
who would have tried to get in
there before now. To show how
widely this company is advertis-
ing its stock we will state that a
letter received from friend in
Wisconsin some days ago, contain
ed one of this company's adver-
tisements clipped from Milwau-
kee paper, with the inquiry as to
the value of the company's Nevas
da property. When this issue of
the TIMES reaches our friend he
will no doubt'get wise to the situ
alton.
