WEEKLY crop BULLETIN.
For Week Ending May &c, 1904.

Carson City, Nevada, May 81, 1904.
The weather of the past week was
somewhat changeable., but on tho
whole the conditions have been quite
favorable to farming interests. In the
western and northwestern sections the
temperature averaged from / to 3 de
grees per day below normal.
Refreshing showers were quite gen-
eral over the greater part of the State
on the oath and 25th, and considerable
snow fell on the mountains during the
night of the 25th Light frost occurred
in several districts on the morning Il
the Goth, but no damage Of much con-
sequence resulted.
Although the week was a trile too
cool, yet the crops of all kinds made
very satisfactory progress. The garin
crops are reported to be in fine con-
dition and growing nicely, while the
hay crop is unusually promising. Gar
den truck is doing well, and the fruit
prospects are much better than expec-
ted, the frost having done less dam
age than was anticipated. The range
feed is reported fine generally and ca,-
tie and horses are in very good con-
dition.-J. H. Smith. Observer.

FALLoN AND ire FUTURE.
Engineer Taylor inspects Government
Works.

L. H. Taylor, engineer in charge of
the Nruckee-C Carson irrigating project
is visiting in this valley for few days.
Mr.. Taylor is on tour of exploration
and inspection. He states that the map
showing the location of land to be
dled upon will likely be filed in the
United States land office at Carson
City within the next ten days = vst,
Mr.. Taylor expresses s, himself as
greatly pleased with Failon' and It's
future. However, some steps must tie
taken to better the layout Of the town
site. The streets instead of ranging
from thirty to sixty feet in width. AMI
being chopped up and blocked by build
ings, must be more uniform and allow
better ingress and egress, else the
Secretary of the Interior will see to it
that another town site perhaps miles
distant is chosen and properly laid
out and surveyed In that event Fallon
will receive a blow that might mean
death. Mr.. Taylor believes that in this
section there will be town within
the next ten years of ten thousand per-
sons or more.-Standard.
Lieutenant Governor Allen has just
returned from a trip to Fallon and the

reports all kinds of building, in fact,

COMPROMISED SUIT,
VIII Result in Benefit to the Tonopah
Section.

Compromises have been effected IN
two suits that threaten long litigation.
The suit Of T. l.. Oddie against Lynch
and O'Meara, in which it was sought
to recover $4,000 for the value Of
1000 shares of Tonopah company's
stock has been settled outside the
court. The plan of the settlement is
not made public. This suit leaves both
parties free to act and they can now
prosecute work that they nave planned
The other compromise is between
the Salt Lake Tonopah Mining conf
pany and the TOnOpah Mining com
pany or as it is commonly known the
Nevada ionopah company.
Mr. O'Meara in speaking of the lat
ter suit, stated that it would be of the
greatest ,enefit all round. The big COM
pany has been slow to move as the SUIT
in a measure upset some OF it's pla Is
as it prevented the issuing of patents
| on the ground. With the suit
out Of the way the ground is clear AMI
the patents will probably issue without
| any further trouble. This company is
Of the kind that is sure of every step.
They have made very move in the
! steadfast, but slow manner Of the
Quakers, but their work is of the most
thorough character and with clean IT,
ties it is expected that the manage
ment will commence to push work
ahead.
Messrs. O'Meara and Lynch are both
in this city for number of days The
gentlemen hold heavy interests in the
| TonCpah section and are naturally IN
position to juduge of the merits.
| In speaking of the camp and the fl
ture before it, Mr.. O'Meara has the
greatest confidence, He stated that rs
soon as the railroad is ready for ope--
alton that things will look up out tn A.
way. OF course the big company will
have the first call on the road, and
will, without doubt, monopolize the
road in the effort to keep it's contracts
with the smelling people, but at the
same time the other mines will be put
in touch with the outside world AMI
will be able to send out a great deal
Of ore. He looks upon the railroad as
the greatest move ever made in the
section, as it is an outlet for all that
is necessary for comfort and economy.
Both of the gentlemen are Salt Lake
people and they, like the other Utah
mining men, look upon the Tonopah
section as the greatest mineral belt un-
covered since the Comstock.

HOME FROM THE EAST.
Peter curtz, Of Alpine, Sizes I'd the
Situation.

Yesterday Captain Curtz, of Alpine
county was included in the arrivals.
He has just returned from a trip to
the east, where he has interested peo-
pie in Alpine county mining property.
Some time ago it was announced that
ne and number Of associates intended
to reopen the old mines of Monitor
and his trip East was to effect this
change. Tat1E
While Mr.. Curtz would not state
the exact outcome of his visit, yet he
openly stated that there were some
lively times ahead of the people out
south. The eastern folks are going to
join issues and it is believed that some
of the wheels will be moving before
many weeks pass.
While in the East he stopped over
ct st. Louis and reports that Nevada
a2d her exhibit is alright While he
was there the last portion of the min-
eral exhibit was being placed in posi-
ton, and that it is most creditable. He
further states that Commissioner Yer
ington is doing land Office business
at the Nevada building and that it is
the best advertisement that this tSate
has ever received The agricultural ex.
hibit is a credit and is attracting at
tention from the thousands of visitors.
Mr.. Curtz believes that he is a Neva-
dan, as he is so close to the border
that he cannot find The dividing line.
He departed for his home in Monitor
last evening, but threatens to keep the
road hot during the summer.

while on top of a line pole near HUFF
