LAB0RERS NOT WANTED
Southern Gold Fields 0verstocked
With Idle Men

The labor unions and the newspapers
of Tonopah are sending out word to the
effect that Tonopah is overcrowsied with
laborers. and that no more persons should
go there unless they have plenty to live
on without securing positions The camp
is overcrowded with aborers
The same conditions exist at Goldfield
whittier thousands are rushing. There
Is little work to be found there, not
enough to employ one-twentieth of the
persons that are hanging about the camp
at this time. On account of the embargo
on freight there is no building to speak
of, and the mines are not sufficiently de-
veloped TO employ many men.
The people of the outside world should
be given tot understand that what Gold
field and Tonopan need is, not more men,
but more capital to develop their mines
Men with money are in demand, but per-
sons without bank account had better
remain away.

HOW TO BUY A WATCH
Suggestions From Jeweler as to
Making Investment

J. G. kepler of Winnemucca, and one
OF the best jewellers west of Salt Lake,
gives the Silver State readers the follow
ing pointers on how TO proceed if you
want to buy a watch:
When you make up your mind to buy a
watch the first thing to do is to ask all
your friends advice about the kind,
price. and where to buy. If some one
should refer you to a good Citizen, who
happened to be a jeweler, don't pay any
attention to him, for he is probably a
send for some catalogues, and when you
have sufficient number sit up nights
and compare prices for 80 days This
will probably cause some hair to turn
gray. but that won't matter much, be-
cause If you should happen to pay S3.9S
and then find one listed with couple of
dozen more Jewels for $4.s7 and good
mahogany book case thrown in, you
wouldn't sleep any fora at least three
years.
After getting over the catalogue dis
ease, drop into a secondhand store and
try to buy one on trial. You can pro-
badly buy one there for $3.15, same kind
as jewellers sell for $35. in case the JUNK
man refuses to sell you oneon trial, visit
the grocery or racket store. they can
probibly save you so per cent. on good
one, If you can't wait till they take II
over to the jeweler and get 1t started.
Afteh about three months of this kind OF
Sorrying sneak into Jewiery STORE
look scared, hald your left hand tight
agnst your pocket book and don't get
too close to the show case: watch might
jump out and light into your pockei
and then you would have to pay for IT,
After the jeweler has talked with you
a while and you have quit standing on
one leg, express your surprise that ne
handles watches; tell him tnat your

WINNEMUCCA MOUNTAIN
Dotted With Prospectors in
Search of Gold Mines

Ord Winnemucca mountain, that has
stood sentinel of the town and valley of
the Humboldt for centuries, is just now
attracting much attention. winnemucca
it seems, is just finding out that the
whole mountain is heavily mineralized,
and digging into the bowels of the great
pile of dirt and rocks in search of hid
den wealth. The mountain is just spot
ted with prospectors, and if some one
does not find a mine the Silver State
will be greatly fooled. Jerry Sheehan ct
al have a fine prospect and can horr

that comes from their cut Claims are
being staked off every day and If those
who are taking them up don't get cold

FIRE AT PARADISE
Two Babies Narrowly Escape Be.
ing Burned TO Death

Mrs. A. Crosse heard a roaring sound
while seated in her comfortable home In
Paradise Valley Saturday night, and 60
ing outside the house to ascertain its
cause found the roof of the dwelling en-
veioped in flames. She at once returned
after her two babies, which she got out
just before the roof of a once happy
home fell in with a crash. The house
and contents were a total loss. The peo-
pie from the town of Paradise saw the
flames from distance of about two
miles and went to the scene, but could
do nothing, for the place was already re-
duced to ashes.

PLENTY Of WATER
IN LAKE TAHOE
To lrrigate Three Hundred Thous-
and Acres-Engineer
Taylor Talks

l.. II. Taylor, engineer in charge Of the
reclamation work in Nevada, when asked
in regard to the water supply. said.
Water is to be turned into the great
ditch in a Aew weeks The first water
that is used viii flow through i50 miles
Of ditehing, which viii bring about 40 go
acres Of land to be placed at the disposal
Of the settlers. The ditehing In all wia
cover nearly 600 miles, but that is some
time off, and the first water is intended
for those who have already made pr..g-
ress with their land and who need water
for this seasons crop
As for storage, only the waters from
Lake Tahoe will be used this season. In
the lake we have six feet that is avail
able. The scare that some people have
about raising the lake above the normal
is all talk. The lake viii not be raised
any higher than heretofore. which is six
feet. The only difference Is that the
government will enlarge the overflow
which will prevent the wa,er from back
ing up and causing damage TO property
holders ON the south and west sides of
the lake.
The water in Lake Tahoe will irrigate
three hundred thousand acres, but il is
not calculated to cali on that one sheet
Of water alone % do the work. as dams
are To be constructed along the Truckee
and Carson, which will aid materially in
the now during the dry seasons. One
dam above Ragtown makes an excellent
reservoir that win help IN rhe irrigation
OF many acres Others at the head Of
the Carson viii help materially. as a
great deal of water runs away from that
section during the flood seasons. A res
ervoir below Dayton is contemplated that
will make a very fair-sized lake and all
that is needed IS the turning of the cur
rent and slight embankment TO store
many millions OF gallons that can
drawn from late in the season.
There will not be a dam built on the
Carson river below Carson. as 1t would
destroy thousands of acres of land, gain
but little .aepth and the work can be
better accomplished at the head Of the
stream, where natural reservoirs are To-

ambulance men with us, who rendered
first aid and with such material as we
had at hand fixed her quite comfortably.
