Looks Like a Mine.

1t looks us though the Cirao
boys have at last struck a mine
For n number OF years they have
been prospecting IN the hills east
of Saltwater and this week un-
covered ledge Of free milling
gold ore, assays from which
average thirtv-tiye dollars pei
ton in the precious metal.
The ledge IS eighteen inches
wide and seems likely to be per
manent. The strike was made
i'll what is known as CoX's Can
yon, a highly mineralized sec
tion. A number of prospectors
are working i'll that locality and
other strikes are looked for in
the near future
The Cirac BOYS have undaunt-
ed faith i'll the mineral possibili-
ties of Churchill county and
have spent considerable time aud
money searching for hidden
wealth in our hills. Indications
now point to realization OF
their dreams and everyone hopes
SO. They are deserving Of their
reward. The patience and per-
severance of such people are
beneficial to a mining section
and are the essential elements to
its prosperity.

TALK WITH
L. H. TAYLOR

Engineer l.. H. Taylor in
charge of the Truckee- Carson
project, arrived in town yester-
Gay and will probably return to
Reno to-day. Mr.. TAYLOR is on
Il tour of inspection. While here
he will ask the County Com
missioners to refuse to grant
any licenses for conducting sa-
looms along the line of the canal
or within five miles thereti ON,
excepting, of course, such as are
asked for to be run in any town
along the route, MIR. Taylor's
object III making this request is
to reduce to minimum crime,
which is almost sure to occur
where SO many laborers are en-
ploved. If saloons are allowed
along the big ditch, there will
be no end of trouble. from the
fact that the men will be a con
siderable distance from police in
reference. This state of affairs
would nerve them ON to iawless-
ness in the extreme. No doubt
his request will be granted as it
means much to Fallon.
Mr.. Tavlor states that nearly
$500, 600 will be paid by the
contractors for tabor hire, etc
OF which two-thirds will be spent
in Fallon.
About the end of August, he
states, bids will he asked for the
construction of 900 or 800 miles
of minor laterals III this section
This work will be given 10 the
homesteaders in order to enable
them to earn a livelihood while
tilling the soil.
The official map has not as yet
been filed i'll the United States
Land Office at Carson, but will
be placed on file as soon as he
receives Instructions from the
Secretary of the Interior, which
he expects to arrive any day.
His new headquarters at
Hazen will be ready for oecu-
pancv about the fifteenth OF
August. at which time he and
his corps of assistants will re
move from Reno to the new rail
road town.

BPUTALLY
BEATEN AND
ROBBED

\ Swiss laborer whose name
can not be learned at this time,
was beaten and robbed at Haz-
Ell last evening by three rutlians.
The Swiss had purchased a tick
ct for WadSworth and was stroll
ling around awaiting the arrival
of his train. In the vicinity OF
the cattle corral, he was pounced
upon by three men who choked
aud severely beat him, after
which the outlaws relieved him
of his time check and fifty cents
III cash. He returned to town
and told his story, but the three
men had made good their escape.
Hazen is rapidly becoming a
criminal headquarters, due prob
ably, to the absence of police in
that burg.

Labor Union Organized.

Monday night the mechanics
of Fallon representing the var
ious trades held a meeting in the
town hall and organized a labor
union. G. l.. Gleason was elect
ed Chairman and w. B. Wyrick
Secretary.
The object of the union is not
for an increase of wages, but a
reduction in the hours of labor,
and already the eight hour rule
has gone into effect. Formerly
the mechanics were working
nine hours.
At the meeting a committee of
five was appointed to draft by
laws and the organization will
meet every Tuesday night.

OF
THE DESERT
Geo. L. McDonough Is
Impressed With Its
Future.

Geo. l.. McDonough, colonial
ton agent of The Union Pacific
railroad, is investigating the
lands of Churchill county for
colonization purposes. He has
the following to say regarding
Nevada's agricultural possibil-
tiles:
There is no reason why New
ada should not be rapidly col
onized.
Your State is beginning to
attract the attention of home
seekers. Nevada is the onl V re
naming part of Union that pos
SeSses vast tracts of untenanted
land. Until recently it was the
prevailing belief that YOU could
raise nothing here but the scanty
subsistence for jackrabbits and
horned toads. People are be-
ginning to learn differently.
THAT YOU have i'll Nevada the
potentialities for a great agri-
cultural State, believe, for YOU
have the land that proved to
be extremely fertile, and YOU
have the water to irrigate i'm
mense tracts of it, enough III
fact to support population an
hundred times as many rs YOU
have now, when the highest pos
sibilities of the State are devel-
oped.
1.-The work of the Government,
if successful in the great Truckee
river project now more than
half completed, fifty miles east
OF YOU, will bring under cultiva-
ton go, 900 acres of land. This
is more than enough to support
4, 600 farm families.
"Moreover, the crops pro-
duced, the varied industries
which it will invite and afford
the basis for, will at the scene of
that one project in compara-
lively few years double the pop
ulation of Nevada.
Il believe in small farms and
in tense cultivation; that such a
condition is better for the farmer
and for the community in which
he lives is assured. think
that the farms of the Truckee
meadows in the majority of
cases could be subdivided into
smaller tracts and with great
benefit both to the farmer and
to your city. That it will come
to this in time | believe.
The east is full of homeseek-
erS who want to come west and
grow up with new country,
They have passed you by hith-
erto because you had no availa-
bic water to irrigate new land
without the building of an ex-
pensive irrigation system. The
government is now bringing the
two together and the result will
be the conquering of the desert"
