Mr.. Hubbel did was to demonstrate
that the tailings did contain the values
and that they could be profitably

on the showing made the company

Some of the rich ore will shortly be
put through the mill, and before long,
bars of bullion will be taken to the
mint as mute evidence of the wonder

natures.
The discovery if we are correctly
informed, is short distance from the
Winters mine on the Red Canyon
side.
Unquestionably, the wonderful find
will result in adding renewed energy
to all mining operations now being
carried on in the districts mentioned
as well as in the Pine Nut country and
in the Buckeye Districts. All these
districts are tributary to the ledges
around the Winters mine.
We have always maintained that
one rich discovery and one good mine
opened will result in other discoveries
that will equal in richness the ones
found, and we feel confident that be-
fore long other discoveries will be re-
corded.
ronopah and Goldfield have the
stand for the moment, but their ad-
vantages are nothing when taken in
comparison to the resources of this
section. We have the timber and
water for mining operations, and hay,
grain and other products for the min
ers and the animals.
The discoveries made will give
Douglas and Ormsby counties the
impetous that is now being expended
in the southern country, and before
long we will bloom forth as the most
productive portion of the state both in
mineral and agricultural wealth.

Latest Water Measurements

The latest water measurements
taken about week ago show that the
water in the soil is rising rapidly.
Where a month ago the water was
within several feet of the surface it is
now only few inches, while the
desert measurements show the water
nearly two feet nearer the surface
than during the winter. Water
measurements will be taken during
the year, and very careful tabulations
made of the results, with view to
making a very exhaustive report to
the Agricultural authorities at Wash
ington on the conditions of subsoil
few in this Valley.

YOUNG LADY SURPRISED

Miss Sophene Jepsen entertained a
number of her young friend at her
home last Saturday evening. The
merry throng arrived at p. m. and
were hidden welcome to the Jepsen
home. where the hours were spent in
solid enjoyment consisting of musical
selections games, and other amuse-
ments that go to make most ENJOY
able evening. When old Father Time
5sended his way toward the hour of
midnight all were invited to partake
of all the goodies of the season under
which the table fairly groaned. At
early morn all retired to their homes
to dream of the good time spent that
Saturday eve. All present voted Miss
Jepsen most charming hostess, with
the hope that at some future date they
would not be forgotten.

An Ideal Farm

One of the prettiest little farms in
the valley is owned by Louis Nelson.
Through thrift and industry it was
reared out of variety of soil that at
one time was thought to be almost
worthless. Mr.. Nelson had the rocks
picked off and the land leveled and
planted to grain and alfalfa, and now
has farm that is a monument to the
value of the land on the hills back OF
the Central school, where there are
still thousands ofacres that need only
the touch of water to make it para
disc.

ORE HSSHYING 500, o23
One of the Richest Strikes Ever
Made i'm Western
Nevada

strike has been made sometime
during the past month near the Win
ters mine that rivals the sensational
strikes that have been made in the
southern country. Some of the assays
bringing the values up to Sl00,623 a
ton. A few moments with pencil
will show the ore to be worth $50 a
pound. Other assays taken at various
spots in the ledge show values rang
ing from 500 to thousands of dollars
perton. The ledge was first discover
ed by Hans Jessen and f. n. Hubbel
about six months ago. Assays then
taken from the immediate surface of
the ledge showed values ranging from
s400 to thousands.
Jessen and Hnbbel were attracted
to the ground by small pieces of float,
that upon investigation proved to be
immensely rich, but nowhere was the
ledge apparent.
They dug around where the float
showed well, and finally at a distance
of about ten feet they struck the for
tunate stroke that uncovered what
will prove to be one of the richest
mines ever uncovered in this section.
The ledge having been covered with
ten feet of debris etc. settling on it.
The fact of its discovery was known
for some time but for apparent reasons
ii was not made public. Since the
first of the year considerable money
was expended on the discovery in
having the ledge stripped for dis
tance of about three hundred feet.
When first discovered it was about a
9 inch streak and has widened out to
a well defined ledge of about two feet
and all carrying phenomenal values.
The discovery is but the beginning
of the most active mining operations
ever carried on in this section. A num-
ber of other claims apart from the
Winters mine and adjoining the rich
discovery are now being actively de-
veloped.
The fortunate owners of the proper
ty are the McCrossen Company and
the Douglas Mining and Reduction
Company. The MeCrossen Co. OBJ
tanned their interests from Mr.. Hub
bel, one of the original owners.

ployed by the Douglas Mining and

mine, and erect a cyanide plant, if the

WILL USE ELECTRICITY

Barney MCGOWAN came down from
the Longfellow mine the early part of
the week where he had been employed
in uniting various small streams that
flow down several of the canyons in
that vicinity, into one large stream.
1t is the intention of the Longfellow
company to erect power plant for
the operation of drills in the mining
operations that will be carried on
there this summer. BY the union of
the streams sufficient power can be
obtained to run small electric plant
of sufficient capacity to light up all
the workings and buildings with cleo
tricity, and for all other necessary
purposes.

RICH LEDGE UNCOVERED
WORK WILL
SOON BEGIN

General manager, II. M. Yerington,
of the Y & T. confirms the report that
the road will be extended up the Val
ley to tap one of the richest sections
of the State. Work will begin in a
short time and will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. In discussing the
matter Mr.. Yerington said:
"Yes the road will be built. We
have ordered the material and as soon
as it arrives construction work will
commence. New ties and rails have
been ordered for the road in order to
make it first-elass.'
AS to the objective point Mr.. Yer
ington declined to state. But the
statement that the road will be built
almost makes it certain that before
long, work on its construction will
begin. During the spring, survey
routes and determining the most
feasible direction to take. Sugar beets,
the salvation of one of the largest
Valleys in Utah, can be cultivated
very profitably in the sandy soils in
the different sections of the county
That road extended to tap this Val
ley would undoubtedly be a great
stimulus to the cultivation ofthe sugar
beet, as its value as a farm product in
a measure depend on a method to get
it to market where ready sale could be
found for the finished product.

A Troublesome Weed

For several years past a weed, i'm
ported in this Valley, presumably
with alfalfa seed, has has become
pest. Its remarkable seed fertility
and the ease with which it is propo-
gated has caused it to spread through
out the Valley especially in the hay
fields, causing considerable damage to
the hay crops. Stock will not eat it
because of its peppery taste. So far,
it has not been classified by botonists,
and as to a means of combating it,
there seems to be no way Z to
exterminate the weed other than plow-
ing up the land infected.
