PHONE
LINE

a company consisting of Smith val
ley and Wellington people have
organized a company to be known as
the Walker River Electric Company,
to build "a telephone line from Smith
valley to Carson city. The line will
either parellel the present line from
Gardnerville to Carson or follow the
base of the mountain and take in Day
ton. 1t is stated that the line is not
to connect with the line from here
owing to the fear expressed by certain
merchants of Wellington that compe-
tition from Gardnerville will injure
their business. Members of the Com
pany are now in the city figuring on
the cost and purchasing materials
ready to begin building shortly.

Colonists Expected to
Arive this Summer
THE SUAR BEET
PROPOSITION AGAIN

Hon. j. A. Yerington, Nevada's
Commissioner at the Exposition at st.
Douis, daily receives letters from
prominent men in the east and middle
west, asking for information regard
ing land in Carson valley. 1t is their
desire and intention, if suitable prices
are asked for land, to come to Nevada
and begin the industry of raising
sugar beets.
One company in particular, has
given evidence of its willingness to
come at once if everything is favor
able, and it has the cash ready to put
up. Mr.. Yerrington has been in COM
munication with the Carson Valleyites
and is ascertaining their views on the
proposition. The promoters of the
industry do not want the best land,
on the contrary, poor land is better
than rich land for the cultivation of
the sugar beet and consequently, they
do not want TO pay large prices for
their location. Several thousand
acres will be needed for the project
and the colonists will bring about
four hundred families to the Valley.
This proposition is one that our peo-
pie cannot afford to overlook because
it will be better than gold mine and
the Carson valley farmers should do
all in their power to foster the enter
prise. Not only will these colonists
raise sugar beets but an opportunity
will also be given the farmers to
utilize their idle land by putting it in
to beets. The benefits from this in
dustry will be far reaching and in
estimable, and it is to be hoped that
nothing will occur to hinder the
consumation of the deal.
Mr. Yerington leaves for the east
shortly and he will interview these
men who are agitating the subject and
at a future date, not so remote, either
a delegation of the easterners will
visit the Valley for the purpose of
making final arrangements.
Nevada is thus beginning to reap
some of the benefits from the exhibit

SAGE
BRUSH
STYTE

n stranger visiting Nevada for the
first time may be somewhat surprised
that the residents do not register a
kick at the name Sage Brush' State.
The sage brush lands of Nevada since
the reclamation work has begun have
been experimental upon by experts of
the experiment stations with view to
find out their exact value with the
result that the lands in question have
been pronounced the best in the State,
and all that was necessary TO make the
lands productive, was to put on the
magic touch of water. Since the
reclamation work has commenced
on the arid lands, the name sage brush
is a Recommendation to any part of the
State. Where sage brush grows
abundantly is the best indication of
the fertility of the lands and will grow
the greatest variety of products. This
is amply demonstrated by the fertil-
ity OF Carson valley, especially the
East Fork. No where in the land is
there more values gotten out of the
soil than in this Valley, and the same
might be said for any other portion of
the State and unquestionably if water
is, or could be turned on the vast
areas of uncultivated lands they
would bloom as in the Valleys now
under cultivation.

mining engineer is in charge of the
party, and it is his intention to thor

Development Work to
be Done this Summer
CAPITALIST WILL WORK
NEWLY DISCOVERED MINE

The mining outlook for Pine Nut
and Red Canyon is brighter than at
any time in recent years.
A great deal of development work
has been going on this winter, the
nature of which has been kept from
the public, for reasons that are obvi-
GUS only to those in charge. Matters
have now shaped themselves SO that
what has been done can be shown to
advantage. Several capitalists have
been up in the hills during the great
er part of this week with a view to
purchasing and opening up several
promising claims that were taken up
last fall.
Monday mining man and expert
was up in the mountains in the vicin-
ity of the Winters mine, examining a
newly uncovered ledge that recent
assays have placed its value up in the
hundreds in gold and silver. We are
informed that one of the claims was
sold this week to company of capital
lists from British Columbia and San
Francisco.
The gentlemen in question have
thoroughly tested the ground and
have expressed themselves satisfied
that if sufficient money is spent in de-
veloping the claims, that they will
eventually turn out to be producers of
the biggest kind. All the surface
indications and the nature of the sur
rounding country, give every evil
dence Of the success of mining under
takings carried out scientifically and
honestly. That the mining ventures
will take considerable capital to
thoroughly develop and install ma
chinery for the prosecution of the
work is thoroughly realized by all con-
cerned. The gentleman being
thorough mining men, do not stop to
consider the cost, but the result is
what they are after.

LOOKING AFTER
HIS INTERESTS

Mr.. Hubbel, who last year was in
cnarge of the operations at the Whit
ers mine, came in from Goldfield Sat
urday to look after his mining interes-
is in the Pine Nut hills and Red Can
yon. He expressed himself as being
confident that this country has as
bright future as any part of the
State. Capital necessary to develop
the country is all that is required to
demonstrate the value of these parts
in a mining way.

Four and sometimes five crops of
alfalfa are raised yearly on land near
Modesto, Calf, that is irrigated by
flood waters according to \, NJ, Grow,
who is here today from that place.
Mr.. Crow, who is an old friend of j,
Nj. Bentley and others who have
come here from that portion of Cal
ifornia, arrived here last evening for
a short visit, He was in Portland
with his family, and having heard
much of this country decided to come
here for a view of it before returning
Also. while here he proposes to buy
carload of bluestem wheat to be
shipped to California for seeding pur-
poses.
Mr.. Crow is the owner of consid-
erable land that is irrigated from the
waters of the Tuolumne river, taken
out at the Turlock dam. This dam
is one of the largest in the world,
and the flood waters derived from the
river at that place is sufficient to
water 10000 acres of land. The
concern is operated as cooperative
company under the Wright law, a
California state irrigation measure
and water is said to be secured much
cheaper than is done under any 9th
er private projects. According to Mr.
Grow from so cents to 81 per acre /.
charged the farmers annually for th'
use of the water, and this money
is used for the purpose of defray
ing the operating expenses, paying in
terest on bonds, and to create a fun,
for the purpose of redeeming th'
bonds at the end of 40 years. Th
water rights are always included Il

, project and is transferred wheneve
the land is sold.

Two thousand choice botanical
specimens, carefully prepared for
study and preservation is an educa-

western schools, IL by any aside from
Pendleton academy, and so rare is
the collection sent by this academy to
the Lewis and Clark fair, that the
University of Oregon, the leading in
stitution in the state has asked to
borrow the exhibit for study and
comparison, after the exposition
closes.
When Prof. w. H. Bleakney, prin-
cipal of the academy was in Portland
/ he was beseiged by botanists from all
over the United States with inquiries
as to the value and scope of the acad-
emy exhibit at the fair, all express

The chief portion of the collection
was made by William Cusick. the vet

years in the quest for rare specimens
of the flora of oregon. Two year

sisting of 1900 specimens to tn
