consisted Of boilers, engines and
drills and other mining applian-
ces which will be install led Ia
those mines
twenty companies are at work
in this field, and the estment
which has been made in the three
counties will aggregate between
100000 and $4,000 The pro.
z, ess made so Jar indicates thai
the field will return large dividend
on the expenditures, and the men
who are interested are investing
additional money to make the OPP
erations assume modern aud ag-
gressive aspect. Mr.. Knight WAS
accompanied by the engineer OF
his company, and bought the best
machinery that the market al

While the existance auJ char

HONEY CROP OF NEVADA.
CattIemen Think Bees Rob Hay of
It's Sweetness.

1t is well known fact that
Nevada produces many carloads of
fine alfalfa honey. So much of it
is shipped out of the State that the
alfalfa growers and cattle men are
getting their heads together,
arguing that all the sweetness is
Just so much saccharine matter
taken out of their hay One of
the largest ranchers is a repre-
sentative in Legislature of Nevada,
and it appears that efforts are on
foot to get law passed at the
next session of the Legislature pro-
hibiting bee keepers from locating
bee yards within fight of the
alfalfa fields, This would prac-
tically mean the wiping out of all
bee keeping interests in very inn
portant producing State, and, be-
sides, setting a dangerous preced-
ent for other States. The argu-
ment made by the cattle raisers
and ranchers is this:
Carloads after carloads of alfalfa
honey is being shipped out of the
State. The best hay is the first
cutting, and the first crop of bios
SONS is also the best for bee keep
ers. They argue that "a ton of
honey probably represents the es-
sence of 200 tons of alfalfa and
that the hay is just that much
poorer in saccharine matter. 1t
stands to reason that you cannot
take all of this honey out of the
hay and still have it as rich in sac
charine matter" In this day of
progress and scientific investiga-
ton, it is staggering to hear such
talk. OF cource, the bee keepers
are ridiculing such sheer nonsense
for it cannot be based on any
thing else than consumate ignor-
ance and prejudice. 1t is a well
known fact that red clover hay
will not develope properly unless
there are honey bees or humble
bees in the vicinity; that attempts
were made to grow the plant in
Australia, but it failed miserably
until the humble bees were intro
duced. Exactly the same thing
will apply in growing alfalfa.
While it would be too much to
claim that this kind of. hay cannot
be grown without bees, yet it is
safe to say that much poorer
crop would be the result without
them, We can also assert without
fear of successful contradiction,
that the best scientific men of the
world as well as professors in all
the agricultural colleges, can show
that the assertion of the cattle
men is utterly without foundation.

partnership effects.

pdI dItHSlolliP T. ShSNto'
The suit was brought for an ac-
counting in partnership, which
the complainant alleges was often
promised but never made. The
complaint sets up that Sullivan,
O'Meara and Lynch entered into
a partnership agreement about
two years ago for the purpose of
leasing a claim containing the
great Mizpah ledge, originally 10
Gated by James Butler, and at that
time owned and controlled by him.
Arrangements were made with
the owner whereby he agreed to
lease to the partners upon them
paying to him IS per cent. royalty
on all ores extracted. The result
of this contract is now a part of
Tonopah's history. The big Miz-
pah ledge was rich in ore values,
and thousands of tons of the prec-
ious rock were taken out and
stacked in large piles for ship
ment.
While the amount taken by the
lessees from the Mizpah ledge is
variously estimated at sums from
a quarter to a whole million OF
dollars, this firm, under the part
nership agreement, the complaint
alleges, extracted at least one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars
worth of ore. Mr.. Sullivan has
now brought suit to find out what
has been done with the money
and effects so realized.

THE POSITION OF COPPER.
Statistics Show Healthy Condition
for Past Year.

I-HloIe apparent tHdH Iedl-to-
gether with the concurrent, if not
concerted; action of large pur-
chasers, have combined to depress
the price of copper somewhat.
After a considerable period of
higher quotations, we have now
come close to I2-cent copper, it
may possibly go below that poiut.
There are influences in tho mark
ct tending in that direction, and
there seems to be a trifle lack of
confidence in the future, which
we think is not warranted by the
facts.
1t is extremely unfortunate, in
the case of stale article like cop
per, it is very difficult to obtain
reliable statistics. This is due to
the largest producer in withhold
ing information, for reasons which
can be generally understood. This
action leaves the trade in the dark
to large extent, and makes an
opening for speculative operations
which benefit few parties but
are decidedly detrimental to the
trade at large.
The production of copper in
1908 doubtless increased over that
of the year before, the gain being
not far from ten per cent. The
stoppage of the Amalgamated
mines in Montana did not last
long enough to cause any great
deficit in output, and the loss
there was more than made up by
the metal from the newer mines
in the Lake Superior country, in
Arizona and in Utah. The out
put in the United States was not
far from 55,ooo,ooo lbs. per month,
of which the Amalgamated prop
critics produced about 100000.
The imports of copper increased
somewhat, the gain coming from
Mexico and Canada. The in
crease has not been sufficient to
cause alarm.
Consumption, which was very
large early in the year fell of later
on. But we do not hear of any
plants being obliged to shut down.
Moreover, there has never been a
time when there were so many
great enterprises on foot in which
electrical power is to be used. All
this does not point to a drop in
consumption now, nor for year
or SO to come.
The weakest doint in the stu
alton is found in the smaller ex-
ports for the year Europe did
buy as heavily as expected, but
the later months showed some i'm
provement. Whether the lower
prices will bring about incIeased
foreign trade is settled, as buying
has increased.
In spite of the falling off in ex-
ports, there are no evidences of
any considerable accumulation of
stock in sellers hands. Probably
there is now some surplus, but it
cannot compare with the large
unsold stocks weighed upon the
market two years ago, 1t is well
understood that consumers are
carrying very little copper. Both
here and in Europe, manufactur-
ers have little or no metal ahead;
and they are constantly buying
for immediate delivery.
Upon the whole the situation is
far from being a weak one; and
the present prices are the result
of temporary want of confidence
which keeps buyers back, rather
than of the actual position of the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1904-01-09
