TO DRAIN COMSTOCK LODE.
The Search for Ore i'm Lower Levels
Will Be Resumed.

Thirty-one mining companies. com
posing the Comstock Pumping Associa-
ton, agreed at San Francisco on Sect. 2
to make o contract with the Truckee
River General Electric Company for
additional electric power. The latter
company agrees to build an entirely
new plant at a point on the river two
miles below the present power house
and construct a separate pole line to the
Coinstock, thus giving the mines two
systems of supply. which eau be used
singly or together as may be required.
The proposed duplicate power plant
is to have a capacity for generating 1900
horse power. 1t will cost fully 5000. 900.
which is to be paid wholly by the
Truckee River General Electric Com.
pany. 1t is expected that the plant will
be completed by the time the Ward
shaft Of the middle group of Comstock
mines has its new pumping machinery
installed, which will be within eight or
nine months.

TO RECLAIM HUMBOLDT VALLEY
Preparations Being Made for Great
Irrigation Project.

The Government is making prelimi-
nary arrangements for q thorough sur.
vey of the Humboldt River Valley.
from Elko t Winnemucca, for the pur.
pose of preparing data for the irrigation
of that immense territory. comprising
in all over 1000, 900 acres of the finest
farm land in the State. The survey
will begin Spring and a full corps
of engineers and surveyors will b. in
charge of L. Z. Taylor of the Geological
Survey. There is little doubt that this
will be the next irrigation undertaking,
and that the actual construction work
will begin Immediately after the COM
pletion of the great Truckee- Carson pro-
ject. which is now under way.
The greatness of the project exceeds
all that have heretofore been considered.
At present there are about SOC, 900 acres
of land under cultivation in the various
valleys Of the Humboldt. To this will
be added fully 700, 900 acres more, max.
ing the extent of territory reclaimed
fully twice that which will be brought
under cultivation by the Truckee- Car.
son project, which is now the greatest
that has ever been taken up by the
United States Government. The work
will cost millions of dollars, and when
completed will place Nevada among the
first of the great agricultural States of
the West.

STOCK BREEDING IN THE WEST.
OF All Cattle the Hereford Is the
Best for Nevada Ranges.

Experts state that the horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs and chickens at the Cali.
fornia State Fair this year are the fines,
specimens that have wei been exhibited
in Sacramento. Commenting on this
the Sacramento Union says:
"The fact that each exhibit 10 a little
better than that of the year before
shows continued Improvement in the
stock. The improvement is due to the
admirable conditions for stock raising
in this and adjoining States. aud to the
fact that our stockmen long ago rec.
ognized that it costs as much to keep
a poor animal as a good one. For ex.
ample, 20 years ago the rich pasture
lands Of Nevada were used to fatten
long horned Texas cattle. The fatten.
ing was q discouraging process. The
animals arrived in Nevada bundles OF
skin and bones. Rich as the Nevada
grasses are, the processes Of sticking
something in the shape of meat upon
the Texas skeletons were slow and
costly. Such a beef was moi fit for
market under 5 years of age, and then
consisted principally Of horn and bone.
John Sparks, the present Governor
Of Nevada. and other cattlemen, early
recognized the folly of spending time
and money in fattening Texas stock.
They experimental. and found that of
all cattle the Hereford is best for Ne.
vada ranges. At enormous cost Here.
ford stock was imported. 1t thrived.
Soon the long horn disappeared, and
the ranges were covered with herds of
sleek white-faced animals, that brought
more at Is months then o Texas steer at
8 years.
1.-THE Hereford developes early. AT
Q years the animal is in its best market
condition, a solid lump of meat. By
the year, it costs no more to keepa Here
ford steer than one of the long horn
Texas range variety. In other words,
the same feed, the same labor, the same
expense required to put two Texas ami.
mails into questionable market condition
will suffice to bring five Herefords up
to the highest standards Of the slaughter
houses. The original cost of the inn.
ported Herefords has been returned
Nevadans 10000 fold. The white face
Nevada steer commands the highest
price in Eastern markets. and has put
literally millions into Nevada pockets.
Nevada cattlemen went broke trying to
put meat upon Texas bones. They have
grown rich raising Herefords. The ex-
perience of Nevadans with their range
cattle is that of all who engage in rails
ing animals of any kind"

A Washington, DC. dispatch of Sept.
8 says: John Barrett, American Minister
to Panama, has made a special report
to the State Department, in which he
states that no man seeking a position as
clerk, stenographer, typewriter, engi
neer. foreman, Oh any similar class
should come to the Isthmus in expec-
tation of securing a position unless he
has made some previous arrangement
for employment, or has sufficient funds
to pay his expenses in Panama and re

opening. More men of this kind are
now coming to Panama and Colon than
there are positions to be filled. The
cost of living is very high, prices hav
ing increased nearly 300 per cent in tbs
last six months, and there is a great
shortage of cheap and wholesome
lodgings and boarding accommodation.

ELKO GIRLS HELD PRISONERS.
While Camping on Island in the
Humboldt Storm Visits Them.

While Camping on Island in the
Humboldt Storm Visits Them.
A camping party consisting Of about
. dozen Of the best known young ladies
in Elko County had a thrilling expert
ence on an island in the Humboldt
River, nine miles from Elko, Thursday
OF last week. During the afternoon
they were visited by a terrible storm.
Rain came down in torrents and the
wind blew with terrific force. Their
camping outfit vas entirely wrecked
and q part Of 1t was washed away. AS
night came on the storm increased in
fury, and the party were helpless pris-
oners. with nothing to protect them
from the pouring rain but q few um-
brellas.
Friday morning Sidney Foster a well
known mining man Of Mountain City
arrived at the scene on a visit to the
young ladies'. He realized at once that
he would not be in q position to aid
them.
"Be brave. girls" he shouted across
the turbulent stream, II will go to
Elko, nj aid and return to -FOUR res
cue. Two hours later in company with
ten or twelve of Elko's well known
residents he returned. Half an hour
later the young ladies were safely car.
ried from their island prison. Lander
Taber, agent for Wells, Fargo g. Co.,
did heroic service in carrying the young
ladies across the stream. Mr.. Foster
also did noble service.
The young ladies have returned to
their homes suffering but little from
their second thrilling experience. The
week before. q Chinaman, whom they
had employed as q cook, committed
suicide by hanging himself in the camp.
Among the party were Misses Ruth
Russell, Elsie Hunter. Nellie Booher,
Nettie Armstrong. Amy Harris and
Ruth Stevens.

THE NEW MINING LAW.
Means Re-Survey of Thousands Of
Claims.

OiniiuSs
A ruling affecting the boundaries Of
most all recent mining locations
throughout the West has just been sent
outfrom Washington by the Secretary Of
the Interior. 1t is based upon an Act
passed by Congress last February, and
requires that the description of vein or
ledge claims IN surveyed land must de-
signate the lines with reference to the
Government survey. but need not con-
form Herewith. Where patents have
been issued for claims on unsurveyed
lands the Surveyor General shall ad.
just extended surveys to the boundaries
as patented and not change the true
location. Patented lands shall be
segregated by the lines actually marked
on the ground by monuments Of the of.
fetal survey. The official monuments
shall at all times constitute the highest
authority and shall govern in cas- of
dispute.
The Secretary says if an official min.
eral survey is within reasonable distance
a line from locations should be run to
the corner thereof. All conflicts may be
Strengthened ont thereby. Patents in
no case are to be allowed without the
applicant has fled q plat and field notes,
showing accurately the boundaries Of
claim or claims which shall be distinctly
marked by monuments on the ground.
The descriptions must conform to the
public surveys, if known. by stating
their relation to the monuments placed
by the Deputy Mineral Surveyors az
above indicated.
This means that engineers will have
to go into the field again and re-survey
where such requirements have not been
complied with. and will cause the ex.
penditure Of thousands Of dollars by
claim owners throughout the West.

Rovei Complaint In Children.

During the summer months children are
subject to disorders of the bowels which
should receive careful attention as soon as
the first unnatural looseness of the bowels
appears. The best medicine in use for
bowel complaint is Chamberlain's Collie,

promptly controls any unnatural looseness
of the bowels, whether it be in a child or an

NEVADA POLITICAL TOPICS.

Can't Tell, Just Yet.
1t is pretty hard to put ones hand on
the political jumping jacks at this stage
of the campaign. The way it looks to
the Observers observer is that there is
somethin' dom in the Republican
ranks, likewise in the Democratic Sill
yer or Fusion party, and if any one
should ask for the Observers observers
opinion he would have no hesitancy in
saying that something vas being done.
in a small way, of course, in the NEW"
Populist- Silver squad. AS "all roads
once led to Rome" if things dovetail as
planned. all roads will lead to Washing
ton, d. c., with a branch trail going
straight to the front door of Congress,
and a little short bride path to the
back door Of the Supreme Court ut Car
son City, the Capital of Nevada. 1t
seems almost necessary to do some
thing in the way of combining the
elements in the interest of.the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the time
honored ratio of 16 to /. The Southern
Pacific wants Nixon, so it is said. the
Republicans want Yerington. and organ
lied labor wants Van Duzer and Senator
Newlands wants Bartine. Possibly the
people may van Sparks, but as this is
a year of 1.-THE people be damned" there
is no telling what the harvest will be,
not Just yet anyway.-Reno Observer.

The State of Nevada will be one of
the fighting stations of this campaign,
and probably the three electoral votes
of that State will cost more than any
other three in the United States. There
has always been a sufficiently large
corruptible vote in Nevada to make a
balance of power, the total vote being
so small, and when cast solidly decides
the election. Both parties will be after
this vote this year. for there probably
will not be to exceed $4,000 votes cast
altogether in the State. To begin with
the Democrats have the advantage.
They have the Governor aud other State
officers. They were elected by the CON-
bined Democratic and Silver parties,
but the Silver party four years ago was
largely composed of old Republicans.
and now that the Democracy have re-
pudiated silver, there is no possible
reason why they should longer affiliate
with their allies of four years ago. The
campaign this year ought to pay the
natural CRATER better in Nevada than
in any other State. --Goodwin's Salt
