ENCOURAGE MINING

Hardly a week passes that some
prominent mining man does not ar
rive i'm town and asks to be directed TO
the Pine Nut hills. In every instance
that has been brought 10 our notice,
these men have expressed themselves
as being greatly pleased with. the
showing Of mining property examined
by them in Pine Nut. Several have
offered to cooperate and develop
prospects that show good ore, while
others have sisniiied their intentions
of returning at a later date and max
ing a more regid investigation of the
property that is offered for sale at q
reasonsble price
Capital has been attracted to Neva-
da by the rich mines that have been
discovered in Southern Nevada dur
ing the past few years and until a few
months ago, was limited to that por-
ton of the state Recent activity in
mining in the Western part of the
State has been the means of making
several rich discoveries and now all
mining property within the borders Of
the state are beginning to receive the
attention of outside capital.
Mining has received several back
sets in the district hereabouts by the
eXorbant prices asked by claim holders
for their undeveloped property. Sew
eral such Instances are known to have
existed on mining property in the Pine
Nut bills and have thus been the rea-
sons of holding back property that
should be turning out ore that would
keep quartz mills running and give
employment to hundreds ofmen. The

ton, and with the hopes that some of
the local mine owners viii be beue-
fitted by the advise, we publish the

ESCAPES
DEATH

T. B. Hickey met with runaway
accident near Garter's station last
Tuesday, and how he escaped without
being killed is a miracle
lie was on his way to Antelope val
ley, and was driving a very spirited
team. When nearing the station the
team took fright at a dog and dashed
over the embanllment, throwing the
driver heavily to the ground. The
team continued ON their mad dash
until the buggy was completely
wrecked. Mr. Hickey proceeded on
foot to Rodenbah's, a few miles this
side of where the accident occurred.
His face was covered with blood from
the many bruises and his clothes were
covered with dust. His hip was Sc
yerely bruised, but it is thought that
with good care he will fully recover
from the injuries received.
The news of the accident was tele-
phoned to Wm. Ritchford, who pro-
ceeded TO Rodenbah's and took the
injured man to his home in Carson.

Several instances have been reported
lately ef sales that could have been
had not the figures tbeen too high We
think that mistaken policy. OF
course every one owning piece of
mining property has the right to ask
such a price rs he sees fit and we
would he pleased 10 have them get
good big figures, if they can do s..
But is it not better for the man
owning only one claim in particular
section to sell at moderate figure and
thus get the means wherewith to de-
velop other ground, or go elsewhere
and secure claims in a new locality,
than to hold on to something be can
not develop for lack of funds?
II is true the development of piece
of ground enchances the value Of A.
butting property and those who do
not develop their own property, very
often receive, in that way, something
for nothing.
The particular instances we have n
mind are those Of two claims, the pros
pective purchasers of which were ask
ed, in one ease, $4,000 and in the other
SIS, 900 Notwithstanding the owner of
the first asked but 81 900 and the other
not to exceed 5000 The people look
ing at the ground would have paid
substantial advances on these figures
but did not propose to be held up and
went away disgusted after having the
same experience in other parts Of the
district, although admitting the sur
face showings were very good. 1t will
keep away from the district many
people who would otherwise buy prop
erty and develop it on an extensive
scale, thereby enehancing the value of
every part Of the district
BE reasonable and you will make
more money in the end.

The entertainment given by the l..

very large crowd that greatly appre-

in the program. The audience was
very attentive throughout and ap-

Little Madiline Poul greatly amused
the audience with a recitation and was
much applauded. Vincent, the six
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
Nielsen put the spectators in an up
roar with his song md dance which
was done in black-face He was nn-
questionably the hit of the evening.
Cora Christensen handled her recita-

paino and handled the difficult classic
music with ease. Misses Ritchford
and Mills rendered a vocal duet and
was repeatedly encored. The quartet
lead by Margurate Brown did ex-
ceptionally well. Miss Lena Larson,
as we'll as Miss Derricks and Mrs H.

they justly deserved. Tom Seaman

A MEXICAN OVEN.
AN OBJECT THAT IS EXCEED
INOLY USEsUL.
II Clearly shows One OF tho Dlsadvan-
Cages Of what we believe TO BE tho
Higher CIviIIzatIon--The Food Is Al
ways Well Cooked.
(Trinidad. COL. Letter. }


The queer-looking object illustrated
In this article is not a hut nor Gala
boose, but an adobe oven such as is
commonly seen in Mexico and In our
own border states This particular
oven is one Of many similar to 1t in
El Moro, Col. near Trinidad, and 1t is
used by several families for all of thei-
baking.
While the bread, meats and pies are
being prepared, the oven is filled with
wood which is set on ire. but burns
very slowly, as the hole near the top
for the escape Of the smoke is but
small, and there is little draft as the
door is closed as tightly as possible.
When 1t is thoroughly heated the fire
is raked out, the food put in quickly
and the door shut up again.
The baking is said to be very even
and always sure, so the natives have
some reason for clinging to this, the
method OF their ancestors, or rather
ancestresses; and it may be done with
cleanliness.
The word adobe as pronounced by
them is simply "dobe," the "a" being
dropped entirely. 1t is also self-ex-
planatory, meaning "sun dried" This
baked clay is used for making houses
which are well suited to that sun
baked country, for they are as cool
within as those built OF stone, and, Of
course, are much cheaper. Another
fortunate thing is that adobe houses
are quickly built. If It took six
months 70 put one up fear the half
breeds would prefer TO go without.
Yet their Incidence is not without
some excuse. for the summers are very
long and torturously hot; besides, one
often sees commodious, well-hnished
adobe houses, vine-covered and every
bit as attractive as the ordinary brick
cottage.
Both houses and ovens last for sew
