Millions for ELY.

There will be big doings in Ely,
White Pine county, this winter. New
York and Boston capitalists have
promised the Nevada Copper Con-
solldated company all of the money it
needs for carrying It's gigantic plans
TO a successful consummation. These
include the construction of $50 miles
Of railroad from Toano to Ely and the
expenditure Of several million dollars
for the development o power and the
equipment Of the mines. The building
OF a smelter, will, it is stated, within
ayear's time, place the company in
a position to handle 1000 tons Of ore
per day.
The company owns 200 acres Of
mineral lands, and to their possibili-
ties in the production Of ore, Mr.. ].
Parke Claiming, a well known ex-
pert, who made an examination Of
the property last July, says. The
mines as now developed would be
quite capable Of producing 1000 tons
of ore per day." and adds that there

Eureka and Ruth mines, between
5000, 600 and 5000, 600 tons of low
grade copper ore, carrying value!

w. w. Mcdowell a correspondent
OF the Butte Miner, has written that
paper the following common-sense
statements of Nevada conditions;
'In Nevada the mushroom boom

The railroad has peen completed to

to the Bullfrog district.
There are many reasons why Ne
yada offers more advantages at this
time than any other section in the
world. First, 1t has the worlds
record for mineral production; second
it is the most richly mineralized zone
in the world; third, the mines have
depth and permanency; then the
ores are mostly high grade; the eli
mate permits work the year round.
Nevada has more camps with big
records than any other state in the
Union, and the country is hardly
prospected.
The winters in Nevada + not ex.
cessively cold and the summers are
in~vigorating. Compared with Mex
leo on the south and Alaska to the
north Nevada is a miners paradise.
zone thing that attracts the at
tention OF a mining engineer to Ne
vada is that it is not a one-camp
state. Colorado has her Leadyille

CALIFORNIA WILL HELP.
Bill Affecting Klamath irrigation Dis
trict Is a Law.


Sacramento, CAL, Feb. 6.-Two sen
ate bills became laws today upon being
signed by the governor. One was the
Coggins bill, permitting the lowering of
the water levels of certain lakes in the
northern part of the state in furtherance
of irrigation and reclamation work of
the reclamation service of the United
States. A similar bill has recently
been enacted by the Oregon legislature,
and important legislation by congress
bearing on the work in question has
been passed by both houses and is
ready for the presidents signature.
Under the authorization now given
by the California and Oregon legisla-
lures, it is understood that 81, 900, 900
will be expended by the federal govern
ment on reclamation of the Klamath
district, in Northern California and
Southern Oregon, and that 100000
acres IN California and 100, 900 in Ore
gon will be placed under irrigation
The other bill signed by the govern
or is the bill appropriating $4,000
for a California exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark exposition. The last legis-
lature appropriated $4,000, SO that
$95, 900 is now made available for the
exhibit.

FINISH CANAL IN TEN YEARS
Report of Minister Barrett Says Pro-
gress is Good.

Washington, Feb. Elm connection
with the lack of public information as
to the status of the work of canal dig
ging on the Isthmus of Panama, and as
to the exact amount of work executed
SO far by the Americans since they took
up the task, the American minister to
Panama has, after consultation with
Chief Engineer Wallace and close
personal inspection of the route of the
proposed canal, submitted to the state
department report upon this subject.
The communication is practically a
brief summary of the vast amount of
detail statistics and facts that will
eventually be produced by the canal
commission, showing the actual con-
struction on the canal accomplished
since July last, when Mr.. Wallace
took charge of the engineering depart
ment. The most important statement
, in the report is this:
eff the next six months show pro-
gress corresponding to that of the last
six months, it is the conviction of the
best engineers in Panama that a sea-
level canal can be constructed in ten
years and be ready for large vessels by
January l, 1915.''
The report says there is no ground
tor the current reports that little has
been accomplished in advancing the
construction of the canal during the last
six months.

KLAMATH BILL Is PASSED.
Presidents Approval Alone Needed to
Execution of Irrigation Project.

Presidents Approval Alone Needed to
Execution of Irrigation Project.
Washington, Feb. g. The klamath
irrigation bill now lacks only the sig
nature of the president to make it a
law. The senate has accepted the
house amendments, which are entirely
satisfactory to the reclamation service.
AS finally enacted the bill reads:
That the secretary of the Interior is
hereby authorized, in carrying out any
irrigation project that may be under
taken by him under the terms and con-
ditions of the national reclamation act
and which may involve the changing of
the levels of Lower or Little Klamath
lake, Tule or Rhet lake and Goose lake,
or any river or other body of water
connected Herewith, in Oregon and
California, to raise or lower the level
of said lakes, as may be necessary, and
to dispose of any lands which may
come into the possession of the United
States as the result thereof by cession
of any state or otherwise, under the
terms and conditions of the national
reclamation act.
Had it not been for Senator Fulton's
insistence, Chairman Mondell, of the
house irrigation committee, would not
have withdrawn his objection to this
bill and it would not have passed.

Thinning Apples.

Thinning apples may be profitable
operation under some circumstances;
but as fruit is ordinarily marketed in
the commercial apple-growing sections
of New York, it is not profitable. In
vestigations in thinning by the New
York Agricultural Experiment Station
(Geneva) were carried on for four sea-
sons in a commercial orchard. The re-
suits, in improvement of the fruit, in
size, in color and in quality, were
marked, whenever fair to heavy crops
were borne on the trees. but the guam
tity of fruit was usually lessened; so
that unless a higher price is secured
for the improvement in quality the ex-
pense of the operation is not repaid.
Full details of these tests are given Tn
Bulletin No. 239 Of the station, which
any apple grower OF other person in
terested may secure without cost, by
sending his name and address to the
director, with request for this bulle-
tin. Any available station bulletin
may be obtained in this way.

ONE OBSTACLE GONE.
Way Is Being Cleared for the Klamath
Irrigation Project.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The house has
|passed the bill recently reported by
the irrigation committee authorizing
the secretary of the interior in carrying
out any irrigation project undertaken
under the national reclamation to raise
or lower the levels of Little Klamath,
Tulle, and Goose lakes, or such other
river or other body of water connected
Herewith as may be necessary and to
dispose of any lands which may come
into possession of the United States as
result thereof by cession from the
state of Oregon and California or other
wise.
If the senate accepts the house
amenmdents there remains but one
obstacle to be overcome before the gov
eminent begins construction of the
Klamath irrigation project in Oregon
and California. That is to buy out the
klamath canal company and other
owners of irrigation works within the
area proposed to be reclaimed by the
government. A satisfactory offer has
already been made to sell the Ankeny
canal to the government, and it is be-
lieved that ultimately satisfactory
terms can be arranged for buying out
the Klamath canal company, although
it is understood that the company now
asks 100000 for its works and rights
That price is declared to be exorbitant
and unreasonable.
It is probable that the senate will
agree to the bill as it passed the house
today and that it will be promptly
signed by the president.

Mitchell and BroWneII Held to
Answer Charges.
JURY MAKES ANOTHER REPORT
Mitchell Said to Have Accepted Pay
While Senator-BrownelI Had
Men Swear Falsely.

Portland, Feb. 2.-The Federal grand
jury has spoken again and this time
two new and distinctly important in
dictments have been returned, one
against Senator Mitchell charging him
with violating section 1882 of the re-
vised statutes of the United States,
which provides that no one holding
the office of senator shall receive any
compensation whatsoever for any work
done to further matters relating to the
work of the government in any depart
ment; the other against State Senator
George G. Brownell, alleging that he is
guilty of subornation of perjury in hav-
ing induced Fred Sievers and John A.
Rowland, two axmen formerly in the
employ of Surveyor General Henry
Meldrum, to swear falsely before the
grand jury in regard to the work done
by Brownell as notary while making
afidayits, in connection with the work
of the surveyor generals Office, all of
which is in violation of section 1898 of
the revised statutes.
1t has been rumored for some time
that Senator Mitchell would yet have
to face another charge than the one
which has been hanging over him for
some time, but it was not known from
which direction the blow would fall.
Many theories have been advanced and
among them an ENHANCEMENT with
Frederick A. Kribs, and this has proved
to be the correct guess. 1t was for
work done for Kribs that the indict-
ment has been returned. The senator
has been indicted under the same Sec
ton of the statutes which was used
against Congressman briggs, of New
York, who pleaded guilty to the charges
against him, and is also the same
charge brought against Senator Bur-
ton, who was recently convicted and
granted new trial.

Cabbage aphis is one of our worst
cabbage pests. The lice multiply very
rapidly when conditions favor them
and are source Of great loss and
annoyance. They may be killed only
by insecticides that smother, or kill by
contact; ordinary poisons have no ef
feet on plant lice. Kerosene emulsion
diluted with 10 parts of water, applied
thoroughly to the lower side of the
leaves when cabbage plants are small,
seed stocks in spring with carbon bi.
sulphide gets rid of the original brood.
The pest is nasty and should be treat

TOWNS ON IRRIGATED LAND.
French Proposes to Sell Lots and
Water Rights for Fund.

Washington, Feb. 1. - Representa-
tive French, of Idaho, today introduced
a bill authorizing the secretary of the
interior to withdraw from entry any
public lands needed for townsite pur-
poses in connection with any irrigtion
project under the national irrigation
law and to subdivide them into lots.
Such lots shall be sold at public auc-
ton to the highest bidder for cash, the
proceeds to be expended for the con-
struction of water and sewer systems
and other municipal improvements and
for payment for rights to the use OF
water. Money so expended for muni-
cipal improvements shall be repaid by
the town authorities in 20 annual in
stallments into the reclamation fund.
The secretary may sell rights to the
use of water available under the recla-
nation act for domestic, fire and other
purposes to any city or town establish
ed as above provided, and also to other
| cities or towns.

The facts are not generally known.

war as pretext for their periodical
demonstrations, which are regarded no
more seriously that formerly.
The commander in chiefs orders to
abandon the advance are reported to
reasons for stopping the advance
First, the losses sustained; second, the
failure of a quick attack upon which
the advance depended. The precise

Notwithstanding the order to cease,

When there is such a quantity OF
ground to be cleaned of snow as is
found around the average farm home,
something more than the ordinary
snow shovel is needed. If the snow
is deep and the space to be cleared
considerable, then one should bring
into use large plow with the horse
to pull it. For hand plow nothing
is better than the simple one made in
the following manner:
Select two pieces Of board free from

inches wide. Bevel the end of each
board and nail them together In the
form Of V. If necessary they may
be braced at the wide end by a strip
three inches wide and the necessary

long with a cross piece at the upper
end. To strengthen the end in which
the handle is inserted cut block of

the men to make the applications for
the land. AS each filed his application
he told Clerk Brown that Wagner
would call for the certificate of sale.
Applications to purchase school land
near Klamath Falls were filed by nine
residents of Salem, who swore that they
wanted the land for their own use and
benefit, and had made no contract. ex-

any other person. No certificates OF
sale were issued, but Clerk G. G..
Brown called the attention of the state
land board to the suspicious applica-

One Of the applicants was taken be-
fore the governor, where he was closely
cross-questioned, until he admitted that
he had made the application at the in
stance of an agent of Puter, and made
the initial payment with a bank draft
furnished by Puter.

called special meeting of the state
land board to consider the matter, ano
Puter appeared before the board. He

Some Incubator Hints.


Do not turn the eggs for three days
from beginning the hatch. nor after
the nineteenth day.
See that the incubator sets perfectly
level, otherwise the egg chamber will
be warmer in one place than another
Use only the best oil, and feed and
trim the lamp every morning, no mat
ter how long it might burn without
doing this.
Open the egg chamber only when
turning the eggs. Take the eggs out
to turn them, and shut the egg cham
Der while they are out. Let the eggs
cool for from ten to thirty minutes, ac-
cording to the weather, every day.
Leave chicks in the incubator from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours after
they are hatched; they do not need
feeding for at least thirty-six hours
after they come from the shell. Ma
ture has provided for their sustenance
during this time. ~
Do not open the egg chamber after
the chickens begin to pip the shell.
even if some chick seems to be having
a hard time to get out. A chick that
cannot get out of the shell without
help is not worth saving. II the chicks
gasp and struggle, do not bother them
1T is good for them.
