When Mr.. Tootil arose this morning

not hear Mr.. Halliwell stirring.
This was so unusual that Mr. Tootili
went up TO Mr.. Halliwells door and rap

Having done this he started for his
work. Later Mrs. Tootill became solici-

called the Halliwells and was surprised

The Advance I'm Lead.

A recent advance in the price OF lead
has had a salutary and stimulating effect
on mining in those districts produc-
ing lead ores. While this advance, as
announced by the American S. & R. Co.,
amounts to but about 40 cents per 100
pounds, it means s cents per unit for lead
in the crude ore, and this is a very sub
stantial increase in ore value to those
mines producing large amounts of lead,
as in the Occur d. Alenes, Idaho; at Lead
Vile, Creole, Georgetown and the San
Juan region of Colorado. and the lead
producing sections Of Utah and Mississippi
valley fields. While the increase in the
value Of the ore is only from 81 to IS per
ton, 1t is an all-important matter to many
mines, and to some means the difference
between profit and loss in operating.
The press of the lead-mining regions uni
versally express the satisfaction miners
feel at the improved situation.-Mining

VALUABLE REPORT ON

report Of the irrigation investigations in The
Humboldt valley, conducted by Jay d.
Stsnnsrd in 1901, and is the most complete
record ever published Of the amount Of
water available for irrigation, land under
and susceptible Of cultivation, the variety and
value Of the crops grown and OF the number
Of water claimants, the date and amount Of
their claims along the river and its tribu-
taries. Besides being . much needed sd-
dition to the irrigation literature Of Nevada,
the publication in the arrangement Of its
text and the clesrness Of its half.tones is o
triumph Of the printers srt.
Mr.. Stsnnsrd's report is especially valu-
able ct this time, giving as il does infor-
nation directly in line with what lie needed
to assist 10 carrying out the provisions Of
The national and State irrigation laws.
Mr.. Stsnnsrd's report includes the
amount Of water appropriated by the ranch.
ers along the Humboldt. and Eureka county

Eureka County Records.
'Io the records OF Eureka county two
firms and sixteen individuals file statements
Of claims to the waters of the Humboldt
and its tributaries. Three Of these state
ments claim ell Of the stream from which
the diversions are made. One thousand
and seventy acres are irrigated by the
claims thus made. Six claim ell the several
bitches will carry. The dimensions and
grade Of the bitches are given in each case.
According to the claims made in the state
ments, %, 720 acres are irrigated by the
water thus appropriated. Three claims are
made using the inch under 6-inch pressure
IS the unit for stating the amount Of ap.
preparation. These three claims aggregate
1000 inches under Q 6-inch pressure. to be
used on 9l5 acres. A little more than sn

are made for water to be measured in inches

these claims is $4,000 inches for the irriga-
ton Of LAS acres. This would permit 9
inches measured under q 4-ineh pressure to
be used on each acre irrigated. Nine state
ments are made using the cubic foot per
second as the unit with which to express
the amounts appropriated. The aggregate
claim Of these nine statements is $50 cubic
feet per second and the land irrigated is.
according TO the claims, $4,000 acres. In
this case one second-foo would irrigate
46. "a acres. Two claims are made where
there is no suggestion Of the amount Of
water intended to be appropriated. One Of
these claims lie for the irrigation OF 200 acres
aud the other for 300 acres. One state
ment contains no reference to the quantity
Of water intended to be appropriated,
neither does it contain any reference to the
area Of the land which is to be irrigated"
