THE VERY LATEST
 STRIKE AT HOME

It is something of a coincidence, that just two days after the boys in the South Bisbee No. ran into body of rich copper ore, the Calumet and Pittsburg struck it rich in one of their drifts from the 300 foot level. This thirg has been eXpe9-ei and does not come as a surprise, at the same time the news will be received with joy by everybody in the dis trict, as every such development en- hances me value of every foot of min ing ground in the big mineral sys- tenn. These strikes on the South Bisbee No and in the Pittsburg, demonstrate beyond a doubt that the Calumet people, the Queen and other parties were correct in their assump- tion that the copper belt ran along lines identical with the Spray, Calu- met & Arizona, Gardner. Lowell, Calu- met & Pittsburg. the South Bisbee, and we have a right to assume now, that it takes in the Bisbee West and the White Tailed Deer districts.
 There is no question but what the Pittsburg has struck it, but of course it will take some time to determine the extent of the ore body. As may always be assumed in that locality the ore is a fine high grade sulphur. cite with its leading value in copper

 MT. Chisholm, not Joe, Jr., but his worthy sire came in from the Mod ern yesterday. The water was clear ed away Monday night and the boys resumed work in the drift the next morning. Miller predicted that some thing good would turn up the first shift, now MT. Chisholm states that they struck a solid breast of rich red oxide ore in that drift late Tuesday afternoon. No assays had been made at the time we were talking to him, but from his experience in and around that particular property he states that he is satisfied that it is exceptionally rich in copper and gold. The drift was approaching the big blowout at the junction of two large lodges. and Mir. Miller doubtless based his prediction on that identical cir constance. We shall take great pleasure in tracing the progress of this modest strike, as it is of vital in terest to hundreds of people outside of the Modern company. We shall take the trouble of visiting the ground again in a few days and place the matter before the public without re- sorting to hearsay. Mir. Chisholm, who is away up in the COS, finds the Mod ern camp peculiarly congenial and salubrious and takes great interest in the out come there.

PINE VALLEY
At Palisade, ten miles below Carlin,

acres are irrigated from Pine Creek

All of this area but Z acres, which is
devoted to potatoes. is in hay. The
area in native grass is nearly ten
times as much as that in alfalfa. The
supply of water in this stream in not
for all the area cropped. An
old tule marsh of some 500 or 600
acres in extent is located about six or
eight miles from the lower end of the
valley. Some attempts have been
made to drain this. but the work thus
far done in not sufficient to complete
ly remove the standing water. With
a more thorough system of drainage
this land would be benefited and the
water supply for the ranches below
could be increased.

STAR VALLEY

Fartherwest, lying to the south and
southeast of Deeth. is situated Star
Valley. Herders, Star, Ackler, Deer
ing and Boulder creeks furnish an
ample supply of water for irrigation
up to about the middle of July. Near
ly one-fourth of the area of this val
ley is self-irrigating by water which
rises from the ground due to irriga-
ton on higher lands. These self-iTri-
eating lands are usually in native
grass, which is sometimes cut for hay
and sometimes used as pasture. Near
er the river along this part of the val
ley the bottom lands are devoted al
most exclusively to native hay. The
area reported here is 1915 acres. Farm
lands are valued at SO to $40 per acre,
LAMOILLE VALLEY
Lamoille creek is a tributary of the
Humboldt from the south. 1t joins the
river a few miles above Halleck. This
stream, together with Talbot and
Thorp creeks. its tributaries, furnishes
water for irrigating Lamoille Valley
proper, which contains some $500
acres. Farming lands are valued at
$40 to $50 per acre. The water sup
ply is abundant up to July Is or Aug
ust /. This is especially true of the
main creek. as the water holds IL a
little longer in that than in the trib-
u~taries.
West of the Lamoille Valley are
some smaller valleys watered by
streams which are tributary to Lamo-
lille creek in the lower valley. These
streams are Day. Soldier, Ross and

are low, having an altitude of 1000
feet. Not being timbered, the snow
melts very rapidly, giving a large flow
in spring and early ummer. By the
middle of June or the first of July
the snow is nearly or quite melted
and the streams are dry. Bishop

Wells about s miles west below Bishop
Creek and Marys river joins the Hum

miles below Wells. This section con-
tains 1860 acres that are reported as
being irrigated. and on account of the
scanty watersupply in this region, the
only crop grown is native hay, which
is sometimes cut for hay and some
times grazed by stock in the fall or
winter.

OF the river along this section are
nearer the river and are higher, hay-
ins an altitude of 5000 or l 10000 feet,

Secret creeks. These valleys have a
combined area of nearly $500 acres.
The lower valley of Lamoille creek
contains nearly 5000 acres that are ir-
rigated, making a total area under
this tributary of the Humboldt of
nearly $4,000 acres. Most of these
streams have their ources in noun
tains having an altitude of nearly TO-
900 feet. which materially retards the
melting of the SHOWS and the irrigat-
ing season is correspondingly length
ered. General farming is carried on in
these valleys, with hay and grass
as the important crops.
THE VALLEYS OF THE NORTH
FORK OF HUMBOLDT RIVER
About three miles below Halleck
the Humboldt receives the waters of
the North Fork. which is the prin-
cipal tributary from the north. The
land watered by this stream and it's
tributaries is divided into an upper
and a lower valley by a range of
Fork flows about the middle of its
course. About 1900 acres are irrigat-
Ell in the Upper Valley. The streams
tributary to the North Fork in the
Upper Valley are Dorsey, McClellans,
Gantz, Mahala, Foreman, Woods, Sec
ond and Peterson creeks. Hay and
pasture are the only crops reported
in this valley. The hay is almost pro-
duced from the native grasses, a few
acres only of alfalfa and timothy be-
ing reported. Values of farmingslands
are $3.50 to 10. 80 per acre.
In the lower valley of the North
Fork irrigation is limited to the water
OF the main stream. There are 1900
to 1900 acres irrigated in this valley.
Hay and pasture are reported as the
only crops irrigated.
THE RIVER RANCHES
A few miles below Halleck the Hum
boldt enters a canyon and for a dis
lance of about 80 miles extending
nearly to Beowawe the irrigated land
along the river is more or less limited.
In some places there is no land avail
able for irrigation and in other parts
the valley widens out and the bottom
land is utilized for hay or pasture. For
a distance of some eight or ten miles
above Elko and twelve to fourteen
miles below. the width of the valley

both sides of the river for almost the
entire distance. And again. tw,
three miles above Carlin the val
again widens out and permits ranch
along the river fOr a distance of S"
s miles. From this lower point |
Halleck, 9273 acres are reported as
ing irrigated. 1870 acres of alfalfa an
the balance in native hay and pasture.
The value of irrigated ranch land
varies from s12 to $40 per acre.
THE SOUTH FORK OF THE HUM
BOLDT.
The source of this stream and also
the sources of many of it's tributaries
are in the Ruby mountains, which is
one OF the most lofty ranges in Ne
vada. and in consequence this stream
has an abundant supply of water dur-
ing the irrigating season.

William Chandler Inspector at Marcus Hook.
Collector of Port Robert G.. Houston
has appointed William Chandler of
near White Clay Greek hundred to be
deputy collector of port and inspector
of customs to succeed B. B. Allen,
formerly of Smyrna. He has entered
upon his duties at Marcus Hook. It is
understood that Mr.. Allen, a Demo-
crat, will appeal to the officials at
Washington under the claim that he
was subject to civil service rules,
but the collector of port, who is a
lawyer, has looked into the matter and
found that he has ample power and
authority to appoint all of his own
deputies. This being the case he ap-
pointed Mr.. Chandler to succeed Mr..
Allen. The position pays three dollars
per day.
Mr.. Allen has held the position for
several years having been appointed to
succeed his father who died while in
the Office. Mr.. Chandler is a we'll
known Republican and was one of the

Trustees of ServersOn's Church Make a Deal
With Bethel Church For Their Interest.
The trustees of Serversons's NJ. E.
Church made deal with Bethel NJ. E..
Church near Cheswold for their inter-
est in the Smyrna Circuit Parsonage,
the home of their pastor Rev. Albert
Chandler situated on west commerce
street, Smyrna. The parsonage for
several years has been owned by the
two churches and since Bethel has been
placed on the Cheswold Circuit the
trustees of Serverson's have been want
ing to get control of their pastors
home, Friendship which is also on
Smyrna circuit has no interest on the
parsonage but pay rent. At a recent
meeting of Serverson's Board of Trus-
tees it was decided to make the Bethel
folks an offer and Messrs. James Truax
Thomas Kirby and John P. Jones were
appointed a committee to effect DEAL
This was done for a consideration of
$300.00. The trustees of Serverson's s
intend to improve the parsonage by
building a front porch extending across
the whole front, painting and papering
and repairing the fences &c.
