Scarcity Of Water.

Ranchers and miners in Spring
valley say that never in fifteen
year. has there been such scarcity
Of water as the present year.
Springs and streams which have
heretofore furnished an unvarying
flow are gradually diminishing.
This condition the older citizens at
tribute to heavy. snow and rain
storms in the early spring which
caused the waters to run down the
mountain sides into the valleys SO
rapidly that no. opportunity was
given it to penetrate rhe soil. Sub
sequent hot and dry weather has
aided materially in decreasing the
present water supply. There is,
however, sufficient water to still ir-
rigate the crops, and the first crop
of alfalfa harvested was an average
yield with the promise of the second
cutting being equally as good. con-
sequently no one but the placer mi
ner has suffered any loss thus far.

ELY WHITE PINE COUNTY NEVADA, THURSDA Y. JULY
AROUND OsCEOLA.
Pilot Knob Company Putting Up
a Mil.

Scarcity Of water in the Osceola
district has been a great drawback
to productive mining in that camp
this Summer. For ten days or
more no water has reached the hy-
draulic through the big ditch, con-
sequently but little placer mining is
being done, and those who are now
engaged in this fascinating mining
must resort to the dry washer in
order to carry on operations during
the summer.
About the town itself everything
is exceptionally quiet. Only a few
men are at work prospecting or de-
veloping quartz lodges, and besides
those engaged ii: driving the pros.
pect tunnels Of D. c. Mcdonald and
D. N. Harper but few wage earn
ers are employed about the camp.
However, recent developments in
many Of the quartz mines i'll the
district indicate very strongly that
conditions will not always be thus
around one of the greatest gold pro-
ducing camps in the state. With
the discovery of high grade ore will
come the other necessary facilities
for its treatment and renewed life
and prosperity will follow in its
time.
At Willard Greek, 10 miles south
of Osceola, representatives of the
Pilot Knob Gold Mining Co Of
Monmouth, Oregon, which COM
pany owns several promising gold
bearing quartz mines in the district,
are busy installing a two stamp bat
tery and concentrator with which
to test the metallic contents of the
ore from the respective mines. All
the necessary machinery for the
plant has hsea. in position for sew
era1 days, but the completion of
the plant cannot be accomplished
before the lumber necessary to
house it has been deliveaed. When
once the lumber is on the ground
the plant will be ready to run in a
day or so. In the meantime work
at the mines will be carried on,
and the pack train put to tranpor-
ting ore from their to the mill, a
distance of a. miles across rugged
mountain. Before snow flies the
Pilot Knob company will have
given a good account Of its summer
operations,

WHAT Do YOU
THINK OF THIS.
Sixteen and a Quarter Tons Of Ore
Net Over $1,000.

lildt OlQ w HlIe Elt1o county Is
coming to the front in producing
paying ore, is shown by the re-
suit of a shipment of 164 tons OF
ore from the Success mine, on
the Summit at the head of Step
toe Creek. Dan Mcdonald is the
lucky owner of the mine, and up
on receiving a favorable reply
from tho smelter in Salt Lake
City concerning mples of ore
he had forwarded to that place,
commenced to ship ore from the
Success.
The first shipment made last
week consisted oil 16f tons, or
equivalent to one carload, and
was sold to the smelter for ST.
$1,000. The cost of hauling the
ore by teams from the mine to
Wells, a distance of 200 miles,
was 1922. while the freight rates
from Wells to Salt Lake, the as
assaying, sampling and smelling
added an additional cost of $122,
making a total cost of 1914. De
ducting the cost of shipping and
other expenses, a return of 81, 272
is left for the lucky owner,
The work of taking out the ore
was done by three men in %
days, and at this rate, and with
the amount of ore in sight, the
Success starts out on a career as
money maker that is highly
pleasing to it's fortunate possess
sor.
1t only illustrates what the
News has contended all along,
that White Pine county can show
more paying ore under a system
attic and thorough system Of
working her undeveloped mines
than any section in Eastern Ne
vada while the cost of shipping
ore from this section is expen-
sive, yet the ore produced in this
county is Of such a quality-and
quantity-that a handsome re
turn can be made on any amount
Of capital invested
Mr.. Mcdonald has a large
force at work, now, and will ship
ore from the Success to Salt
Lake as fast as he can secure
teams to haul it to Wells. No
body is sorry that Dan has made
such a good strike, and we only
hope that the Success will open
the eyes of outsiders to the many
advantages our mines offer for
the investment of capital.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
J. S. M'DONAlD,
The Grim Reaper 0vertakes Hin
at Manila.


Two weeks ago D. 6. McDon.
aid went to San Francisco on a
sad mission, having been previ-
ously notified that his brother,
]. S. Mcdonald. of the U. S.
Transport Service, had died
suddenly at Manila of heart dis
ease. on the 9TH of last month.
and that the body would arrive
in San Francisco on the trans
port Thomas. Mr.. Mcdonald s
trip was to perform the last sad
rites at the grave of his departed
brother. He returned to Ely
last week.
J. S. Mcdonald was we'll
known in Ely, where he visited
his brother about ten years ago.
He had followed a seafaring life
on the Atlantic since his early
boyhood days, and came to the
Pacific coast in 1889, filing many
responsible positions on some of
the ships sailing out of San
Francisco.
When the war with Spain
broke out, in 1898, he joined the
transport service, and rapidly
rose to the position of First
Officer. He served on the trans
ports Rosecrans, Meads, Grant
and Sherman. Two years ago
he was transferred to the Wright,
of which ship he was First Off
Ger at the time of his death.
He was married to Miss Mary
Mclaughlin of Ely, at Oakland
in October, 1893, who was with
him in Manila at the time Of his
death, and who brought his re-
mains to San Francisco on the
transport Thomas, where they
were Inferred in Mount Olivet
Cemetery on the 18th of July.
Deceased was a member of the
F. & A. NJ, Ancient Landmark
Lodge, of Shanghai, China, the
Masters and Mates Association,
No. Is, of San Francisco, and
other fraternal orders.
No man in the service more
fully commanded the confidence
and respect of his brother Off
GERS, both for his thorough sea-
manship and his sunny disposi-
tion. Had he lived but a few
months longer he would have
been placed in command of the
transport Wright.
To his bereaved widow and
brother the NEWS joins with the
community in expressions of
sorrow in the hour OF their
affection.

their primaries for the election
of a delegate to the Democratic
State Convention. One of the
| candidates had been in the field
for several days, but the other
One sprang into existance Satur-
day morning, and walked away
with the plum. Forty-one votes
were cast, and now the query
rises, where in the name Of the
great Jehovah did forty.one
Democrats suddenly appear from
on Saturday last. The delegate
elected received twenty eight
votes while his opponent pohed
thirteen, and by adding about
three to thirteen, conservative
Republicans state that about six
teen is the limit as to the number
of the unterrifed in this burg.
That being the case, some Re-
publicans must have enjoyed a
day s fun and helped the other
fellow out. AS everything is
| fair in love and war, and as pol
| itics is a case of war to the knife
among our Democratic brethren,
it is natural to presume that a
little outside aid was extended to
| the delegate elected. However,
it is characteristic of Democrats,
as body, that when one of them
wants something, they all want
it, and the inevitable split in the
party occurs. They are split
now, and wide open, as far as
this town is concerned, and at
the general election next Novem-
ber little knives, hatchets and
hammers will be flying in all di-
rections, and more than one who
are sure of nomination, will find
themselves chopped to pieces at
the polls. The fat has gone
forth, and from now on some
Democratic aspirants will think
a picket fence a soft place to
drop on as compared to the bump
they will get in November next.
All the News can say is Go
it, Sal; we'll hold your bonnet. "
And the Republicans smile in
harmony and enjoy the discom-
future that is spreading among
the Democrats. The Republi-
cans are pulling together as one,
and ask the Democrats to join in
the chorus of that popular old
song on November 8th: There Il
be Hot Time in the Old Town. y
D. S. Dickerson was elected del
egate.
Another curious feature Of the
primary occurred at the closing
of the polls. The public are al
lowed to remain in the room and
watch the counting of the ballots,
provided no unnecessary noise is
made that will in anyway disturb
the tally clerks in tho counting
of the ballots. But when the
time came to count the ballots on
Saturday last, everybody was
| ordered out Of the room, yet the
candidate elected was allowed to
| remain and sit at the table with
the Judges and tally clerks. He
had no more right there than
any other citizen, not even If he
| was Secretary of the Democratic
County Central Committee.
What is sauce for the goose is
| sauce for the gander, and the
NEWS is at loss to understand
whether this a case of bossism,
Democracy or favoritism. How
ever, something is going to POP
on election day.

Drainage bitches Pour Their Waters

Fort Dodge, Jan. 14.-The drainage
bitches of Webster and other counties
of the Des MONIES north of Polk county
are blamed for the disastrous floods
which inundated the city of Des Moines
last spring and caused SO much damage.
Webster county has many drainage
bitches as have also many of the other
counties bordering on the river. After
heavy rain the bitches pour the sur

thus causing floods. while If the water
was obliged to flow by internal water
ways 1t would be much longer in get

averted.
Hon. e. ID. CHASED, of Plymouth
county, predicts a similar flood for next
spring. He says the counties lying near
the Des Moines river north of Polk
county. were formerly known to con-
tain plenty of swamps and amateur
lakes that at the time of high water
held great volumes of water.
He says that for many years there
