Reno smelter starts Up Again.


The smelter of the Electric Mine
and Reduction company, which is To-
Gated midway between Reno and
Sparks, on the Southern Pacific rail
road, will resume operations tomor-
row after an idleness Of two years.
This property, which is owned by
Boston capitalists, Messrs, H, d.
Corey and Lester Williams, is in a
good state of repair and but few
changes nave been necessary in order
to commence operations. The pres
ent run on which they will commence
operations consists of 1000 tons of
ore from the company's mines near
Lovelock, in the Trinity and Arabia
districts. This ore is free milling
gold and silver sulphides and it will
require about a months time to com
plete the run, as only a small force
will be employed. Sometime ago the
company entered into a lease for a
period of two years with the option
Of purchase at the expiration of that
period, with the Nevada Milling and
Reduction Company of California and
on the completion of the present run
the mill will be turned we to this
company. The intention Of the new
lessees, it is understood, is to install
a new leeching process for the treat
of low grade ore. These improve
ments win require an expenditure of
from SIS, 900 to $50, 900 and will give
the mill a much greater capacity.
Under the new process, which will
be installed, the lowest grades a
be handled proitably for the mines,
thereby utilizing a class of ore and
producing a revenue which has here
tofore been lost. With the installa-
ton Of the new machinery the capac-
ity will be increased to $50 tons daily,
which v be sufficient for present
needs, but as occasion demansd this
capacity will be increased. When in
full operation the new l~essees will
employ from thirty to forty men and
will be one of the leading industrial
factors OF Reno, While for the pres
ent Goldfeld and Tonopah ores will
not be treated it is the intention of
the company to eventually enter that
field, as thousands of tons Of medium
and low grade ores are in these two
districts awaiting treatment. These.
when the railroad facilities become
adequate, can be profitably shipped
here and treated. The present equip
ment of the smelter consists of a 10.
stamp dry battery, a fifty ton roaster
OF modern pattern, six leechlng tanks,
an eipht-stamp wet battery, two
t'rue vanners, two smelling furnaces,
one OF % and one OF 90 tons capacity.
with other necessary equipment for d
complete smelter and reduction
works. The management Of the
plant will be in the hands of II. w.

The Palouse Harvest.

Good harvest weather, big yields,
best quality and satisfactory and
rising market are the conditions
that are causing the Palouser to
smile in contentment, and to feel
that his lines are indeed cast in
pleasant places.
Never was such Roadway made
with Palouse harvest before, and
every harvester and every thresher
is working to its capacity, the only
drawback having been a scarcity of
men to put in the fields.
The average of the crops is ex-
cellent, and while as is usual, there
are some disappointing yields, the
great majority of the reports are all
that had been hoped, and the quail
ity is No. /.
A big percentage of the crop this
year is of Red Russian wheat. In
most cases this is making enormous
yields, and the quality is so good
that the buyers are not docking it
as had been talked early in the sea-
son. Red Russian is favorite with
the farmer because of it's reliability
as yielder, and the fact that being
a strong, thrifty grower, it gets
ahead of the wild oats, and so is
less foul.
Few crops are entirely threshed
as yet, the following having been
reported:
Dave Clark-I7o acres Red Rus
sian, averaged 40 bushels per acre.
Carl Brewrink - 10 acres, Red
Russian, IS bushels per acre.
Mrs. N. A. Brewrink-47o sacks
from 22 acres of Red Russian, an
average OF 48 bushels per acre.

A State of Farmers.

Figures recently published by
the census bureau show that farm
ing ranks first in Importance in the
state of Washington, as indeed it
does in the nation. In the United
States, as whole, farmers and
their helpers far outnumber any
other single trade or occupation.
This may seem a little singular
when it is considered that nearly a
tenth of the population of the whole
country is in half a dozen great
cities, where, of course, there are no
farms.
In the state of Washington in
1900 there were 2O4,606 male per-
sons over ten years of age engaged
in "gainful occupations" and of
these, SO, 159 were employed in ag-
ricultural pursuits, says a report
from the national capital. 1t is
interesting to notice that the sew
