Earthquake at EIko.

An earthquake shook Elko about
2:25 last Saturday afternoon. The
upper story of the Independent Office
swayed back and forth for about half
a minute and the typos were nearly
shaken from their stools. The wind
ows ratified and the type jumped "a
bout in the cases. 1t seemed for an
instant as if the building would topple
over. The movement was from west
to east and lively one it was. The
shock was felt all over town, but so
far as could be learned no damage
was done. The people in the court
room were considerably excited and a
rush for the door was only stopped
by Judge Brown telling them to re-
main seated.

BIG SMELTER FOR
THE AhTfMONY MINE
Prof. Gage Receives Wire from
East to Rush Work on Plant.
Will Successfully Treat Ores from
Sutherland Mine lon Large Scale
Employing Many Men.

A telegram of great import to
Lovelock was received by Prof. Gage
and Col. JIM Jones Wednesday after
noon of this week. 1t was the signal
to complete the plans and rush the
work of putting new smelter in at
the Sutherland antimony mine nine
miles east of town
As we stated in these columns some
weeks ago, Prof. Gage has been maxi
ing test runs In small furnace of his
construction at the mine, to deter
mine whether the ores could be
practically and proftably handled.
His test runs were entirly satis-
factory and he has the honor of pre-
ducing some of the purest antimony
ever looked upon. A sample OF this
was expressed to holders of property
in the east and the message to rush
the installation of the furnace" is
the result of their looking upon this
bar of the pure quill.
This smelter will be large enough
to treat twenty-five tons Of ore per
day and, Judging from the test runs
made, they will produce twelve tons
ofrefined antimony. From sixty to one
hundred men will be employed, and

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

President Roosevelt has issued his
proclamation naming Thursday No
vember 80, as day of thanksgiving
1t is as follows:
by the president of the United
States of America, Proclamation
When, nearly three centuries ago, the
first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re-
public, they faced not only hardships
and privation, but terrible risk to their
lives. In those grim years the GUS
tom grew of setting apart one day in
each year for special service of
thanksgiving to the Almighty for pre-
serving the people through the chang
ing seasons. The custom has now be-
come national and hallowed by imme-
mortal usage. We live in easier and
more plentiful times than our FORE
fathers, -ehe men who with rugged
strength faced the rugged days; and
yet the dangers to national life are
quite as great now as at any previous
time in our history.
TT is eminently fitting that once .
year our people should set apart
day of praise and thanksgiving to th.
Giver of good, and at the same tin
that they express their thankfullne
for the abundant mercies received
should manfully acknowledge their

MAY BUILD PLASTER
PLANT AT LOvELOcKS
Gypsum Deposits Near Here of
Great Magnitude.
Manager of Marbelite Plaster Com
pany of San Francisco Here, to
Arrange for Increased Output,

Lying within plain viewof the TRIB-
UNE Office, ,and which may be seen from
any part of town, is deposit which
has produced many thousands of dol
lars for this place and the capacity
of which is as yet hardly touched
We refer to the mountain of gypsum
from which shipments have been
made for some months past, and yet
but drop has been taken as if one
should dip bucket from the oceans
surf and think he were diminishing
the fathomless deep.
Mr.. Walter Morrow, manager of the
San Francisco company who now con
troll this gypsum deposit has been in
Lovelck this week, looking over mat
ters relative to the future develop
ment of this property. and We are
informed that they are considering
erecting plaster works at this point,
to manufacture the product near the
deposit.
After several trials of other gypsum
deposits in this State and California
this company has found none that
compare with the one near Lovelock
in the uniform quality and purity of
the gypsum, and the cost of get
ting it quarried and hauled to the rail
road is low. We say quarried for this
deposit is so situated that it can be
quarried out like stone, and a track
could be easily built to the deposit
and it quarried right onto the fiat
cars, from the benches of the quarry
This deposit is veritable noun
tain of gypsum, having been prospect
ed from it's base to near the top and
found to be free from foreign sub
stances over its entire extent. Its
extent is hardly conceivable, the
company have over GAO acres located
and their locations surround rail-
roud section, which also contains
some of the gypsum. An estimate was
made for the railroad by competent
engineer. of the amount contaieed
on their holdings and it ran up to six
Hundred million tons.
This is only on a small part of 160
acres, while the main deposit covers
over a section. So it will be seen
that it's extent is inestimable.
This product has been mined for
little over year past and regular
shipments made to the plaster works
in California. Here it was made into
patent house plasters, plaster of fparis
cements, etc. AS we stated at the
beginning, after trying gypsum from
various other deposits, the company
have found nothing so satisfactory as
what they secured from the Loyelock
deposit.
Now they havereached the conclusion
that it is useless to pay freight both
ways on this product, shipping the
raw material down and the manufac-
tured articles back, and they are
seriously considering putting up
works to manufacture the plaster etc
right here. If the necessary ingred-
tents for the manufacture Of Port
land cement, could be found in con-
junction with this gypsum then the
manufacture of Portland cemenr
could be started on a large scale. fot
some of the best cement on the mar
ket is mnde from the Lovelock gyp-
sum.

But now as to stock shipments;
Here is the record of shipments re-

Lovelock tribune. (Lovelock, Nev.) 1898-1912, 1905-11-17

This is but one months shipments
and as quite little stock has arrived
this month, with very light shipments
out, the estimates given above are
surely conservative.

for Seeding Durum
Wheat

Selection of Ground. This wheat
Should be sOwn on ground where snail
gram has not been grown for AT least
Two years. This ground, if clean Of
volunteer grain and wild oats, VIII en-
able you 10 keep this wheat pure.
Preparation OF Seed Bed.-FUr best
returns the ground should have been
plowed the previous season and wUrk-
ed enough TO make good seed bed for
the wheat plants. II spring plowed
the ground should be harrUwed the
same day it Is plOwed to prevent the
loss OF moisture by evaporation. Close
up the air spaces aS much Us possible
by the use OF u sub-surface packer to
firm the soil, followed by smooth
narrowing to form all earth mulch to
arrest too rapid evaporation of soil
moisture. Ii you have no sub-Surface
packer roll the grOuud with u heavy
roller and follow at ouce with har-
row.
Method of Seeding.-All wheat un-
der dry farming conditions should be
seeded with u grain drill, putting the
wheat in the ground some three to four
inches below the surface where sutfic-
lent moisture will be obtained to give
quick termination OF the seed. This
develops the wheaU beneath the mulch
and insures rapid growth from the
start Do Not Seed Broadcast. A
press wheel or hoe drill is prefera ble
to all other forms Of drill for seeding,
under semj-arid conditions, but even
these are open to objections. They
are the best we have at the present
time. Drill openings eight inches
apart are preferable to those six inches
apart. After the wheat is up run
over the field with Il Hallock weeder
to loosen the surface soil and maintain
the earth mulch which prevents rapid
evaporation OF soil moisture. Use
weeder in opposite direction to drill
rows of wheat. Ii you have no weed
err smooth harrow the wheat ground
with teeth sloplng back SO Us not to
tear out the growing wheat. Harrow
across and not with the drill rows.
Maintain surface cultivation as long
as it can be done without serious in
jury to the wheat, breaking up any
crust that may form after showers,
until the wheat is eighteen to twenty
inches high.
Amount Of Seed.-Sow from fifty to
sixty pounds per acre. When only
thirty to fOrty-tive pounds per acre is
used it gives thin stand and weeds
too frequently rob the soil Of a consid-
cradle amount of moisture. If seeded
too heavily the wheat requires more
moisture than you can store in the
ground by dry farming methods and it
will therefore ''iire-burn.'
Time of Sceding.-This wheat is not
easily injured by frost and it should be
seeded as soon in the spring as wealth
er conditions are at all favorable. In
eastern and western Colorado. away
from the mountains, it should be seed
ed before rather than after April first.
On the mountain mesas we would sug-
gest that this wheat be drilled in as
soon as the spring season will permit.
The earlier seeded the sooner it will
mature. Early seeding of Durum
wheat in Nebraska has shown a favor
able difference in the yield of this
wheat.
Report on Seeding desired.-On or
before May 1st, 1905, kindly fill out
the attached blank and return to

Valuable Mining Property.

valuable Mining property.
From the Saratoga, Wyoming, sun
of March =, we clip the following write
up OF d mining property now being
wOrBed in the Encampment district Oy
w. IL. and o. b. Sowuer, former resi-
dents OF this county. These gentle
men are experienced miners and IT.
would seem from the notice printed
below that they have L valuable min
ing proposition. The write'up 1ol-
lows:
Underwood g. Walch and Sowder
Brothers are working on what is known
Us the Bridger mine, located on the
top OF the Continental divide. This
property is owned by j. ". Heather
Of this place and is probably the oldest
patentee mining claim IN this section
OF the state.
The patent covers two claims, the
Yankee Jack and Wicked Slope. They
were located about sixteen years ago
and 25O feet in development work
sinking and cross cuttlng-WaS done
on the Yankee Jack, but for lack OF
funds to install machinery it was clos
ed.
When work was resumed 4 short
tim ,aHO pumping aud hoisting piant
was installed anu last week the work
of pumping out the water was com
pleted. 1t will be necessary to re
timber the entire workings before it
will be safe to proceed with the devel-
Upment.
This property carries gold and silver,
assays running from 20 u 6S ounces III
gold, and from 252 to Sl2 ounces in sill
yer having been obtained. The form
alton is peculiar, the two minerals be
ing found in separate veins, the gold
on the foot and the silvec on the hang
ing wall.
With sufficient and systematic de-
velopment, it is predicted by expert
mining engineers that this property
will be one of the richest in the coun-
try.
