WHAT SENATOR NIXON
THINKS OF THE MARKET

Senator George S. Nixon, who with
George Wingfield own the controlling
interest in Mohawk and also the Fair
view Eagle of Fairview, is again in the
city, says the San Francisco Journal OF
Commerce. He has been practically liv-
ing in his grip since the adjournment of
congress-, not yet having reached his
hime at Winnemucca. He will eav for
the latter place tomorrow night.
When Senator Nixon was last in San
if one or two bold men got under the
market they could boost it out of sight.
He based his prophecy on the fact that
there was merit behind the market. This
was less than a month ago and wonders
have happened since then. Senator
Nixon can point one index finger at the
market today and the other index finger
at the back files of the Daily Journal of
Commerce n truly say: Il told
you So"
THE leases on the Mohawk" said
the senator this morning, remind one
of the oil fields in Kern county. There
are twenty-one hoists on the Mohawk,
sticking up like oil derricks as far as
the eye can reach. Do you know that
all the leases on the property cover only
eight acres, or less han one-half the
company's ground, and it looks as If the
entire ground being worked was a mass
of lodges. This of course sounds far
fetched and it isn't true, but there are
lodges there in planey, and the ore is
coming out fast and furiously.
There are seven of the leases, per-
hanc mora which cbinnino oca tt
looks to me as if Columbia mountain
might be the next big thing in Gold
field. The property endlines the Booth
on the north and although there is no
showing yet the indications look good
for a mine. They haven't got depth
yet. and 1 think that depth will tell
the tale.
People who are asked to invest in
these mines naturally ask in return why
holders of properties want to let go Of
them if they are so good. Well, those
are my sentiments too. The people who
have got rich are those who couldn't let
go. A year ago when there was very
little doing in Goldfeld, people who
were anxious to dispose of their hold
ings couldn't get rid of them for the
reason that no one wanted to buy. Now
the conditions are reversed. 1t is a
repetition of this history of the big land
owners in California. In the early days
these men tried to parcel out their
lands, but were obliged to hold on be-
cause no one would take them off their
hands. Such men were made rich in
spite of themselves.
1T has been the same way in Gold
field and other parts of Southern Ne
vada. Properties were made rich by
development which work was lone by
the owners or leasers."

THE BULLFROG DISTRICT


feet a spring was opened up which flows
$4,000 gallons in "a hours, and the
water is excellent. This new spring in
sures ample water for milling purposes.
MAYFLowER-The drifts north and
south from the 200-foot level of the
Mayflower shaft have mad about Is
feet each. and both are in full breasts
of ore. Assay values here are just one
third more than at the 100-foot level.
A crosscut has also been started for
the footwall with the determination of
reaching it before stopping. Judging
by surface Indications the vein at this
level may be anywhere from loo to $50
feet in width. a new shaft has been
started at the north end of the May1ow-
err. $50 feet from the side line of the
Starlight. The indications at that point
are very favorable and they expect to
open a good shoot of ore. Superintend-
ent Smith says that work OF the May
flower mill will certainly begin by
October 1, and will be a thirty-ton plant,
though the process has not as yet been
definitely determined.
Observation-Disclosures tunnels No.
2 and No. / were connected Sunday. The
ledge has been crosscut fifty feet with
out finding the wall. High grade ship
ping ore is being sacked daily, and the
milling ore is going over the dump. All
of it will pan. The shaft is down 15S
feet and a change is taking place in the
formation. The rock is getting harder
and more quartz is coming in, seeming
to indicate the presence of an ore body.
STEINWAY-Quite a decided change
is reported in the formation in the north
drift from the Steinway shaft, which is
taken to be the shadow of an important
coming event. superintendent McDon-
aid, of the Pilot, recently made a trip
over the Steinway ground and expressed
the belief that the Steinway had good
| cause for expecting this crosscut to en-
counter a mineralized formation run
ming from Montgomery mountain.
SKoOKUM-The shaft on the Skoo-
KUN is still going down and is now
about 20 feet. A crosscut will soon be
started to cut the ledge that dipped out
of the shaft.
DENvER-High grade shipping ore
is still coming out of the drift or the
fourth level of the Denver. General
Manager Blackmer returned yesterday
from a trip to Greenwater.

people die from starvation. No dog ever
goes without food in this capital, but
dogs are better than the dirty Yankees.
Beef costs fifty cents a pound in New
York and a loaf of bread twenty-five
cents. How long can the Shop Keeping
Yankee, who thinks of nothing but
dollars, stand that? They are already
sorry they begun war against Spain,
but we will give them cause for deeper
regret.
1t will not be long before our victor
ious army will cross over into their ter
ritory and do to them as they would
like to have done 10 us. We will give
them some of their own medicine. AL
ready our gallant fleet has bombarded
their city of Boston, and driven the in
habtants of that place into the interior,
compelling them to flee for their lives.
Next we will move upon New York,
and no Yankee ships dare attack
us, knowing full well their inability to
cope with the formidable Spanish navy.
Already there is tumult and insurrec-
ton among the Yankees because of the
failure of their arms and the people are
blaming President Mckinley. A mill
tary guard of one thousand soldiers sur
rounds his palace to prevent an assassin
from reaching him. He never goes out,
and it's expected daily that news will be
sent out of his death, so intensely en-
ragged are the people, because they see
nothing but defeat in their war against
Spain.
Civil war is threatened among the
United States and it may be looked for
at any moment. The wealthy Yankees
of New York and Philadelphia have
barricaded their houses and armed
their servants fearing both the attacks
ofour forces and the mobs of their own
people. Such is the condition which
exists in America today, while our
noble army and government under the
brave and good captain, General Blanco,
has succeeded in pacifying all of Cuba,
so that peace reigns on our shores.
Spaniards, we have nothing to fear
from the cowardly Yankees. We are
already the victors, and gladly would
the enemy sue for peace.
The Philippines, which We're at first
| reported lost to us, had been regained.
if, indeed, they We're ever out of our
power, or in danger of being lost. The
ships of the Yankee commander have
been destroyed with great loss OF life,
and the rebel forces have united with

foreigners from those islands and have

equitable Autonomy such as exists in
Cuba today

tent with compelling the Yankees to sue
for peace; we will invade their territory.

force them into subsection.
Spanish valor is the same today, that
it was in the days of old, and we can
see in the near future, the proud flag OF
Spain. again atloat upon every sea, and
planted again upon the continent Of
America, aud once more Spain will rule
the world as she did in the happy days
gone by Viva Espana con Honor.

FINE ourLooK FOR SHEEP.

The sheep industry never looked
more promising than 1t does today. 1t
looks as though it would be impossible
to so increase the production of wool
and mutton that either would fall in
price to a point where it would not be
profitable to produce them, especially
i'll the line OF meat. This is true for
the reason that all the meat eating
countries are demanding more and
more mutton. We believe that in con-
nectiOn with the farms of the corn belt
the sheep can be made just as profit
able as the hog. In u way the sheep is
a scavenger in that 1t lives largely on
food rejected by other animals. 1t is
better farm fertilizer than the hog
and enjoys Il much greater degree OF
freedom from disease. 1t Is also true
that a pound of mutton can be produc
ed on corn belt farm as cheaply as d

SCIENTIFIC TILLAGE.

A friend writing to us from south
western Nebraska gives a very glow
ing picture of the agricultural prosper
ity which prevails in that section. The
discovery that winter wheat could be
most successfully grown on what had
always been considered land worthless
for any other purpose than pasture and
the further fact that the growing of al
falfa Is proving wonderful success
have together brought wonderful and
radical change in the condition and
prospects Of that country. Coupled
with these things has come for two OF
three years past an unusual amount OF
rainfall during the growing season
which has resulted in the production OF
very large and very profitable crops OF
wheat and corn. By some it is thought
that the cultivation of the land has
brought about a permanent change in
the amount of rainfall, but this is prob.
ably an error, and the probabilities are
that dry seasons will return and eli.
matte conditions be as they always
have been. Much has been learned
however, in the line Of methods of cul
ture which have for their object the
conserving of the moisture, and by
these methods it is now claimed thai
great success is obtainable.

same time they made a slurring COM
ment upon the social position which
this woman occupied. Why should they
do this? What is there unladylike con-
nected with the woman and the wash
tub? Doing this work for others, why
should it place social ban upon her?
In the cities young man whose bust
ness 1t is to sort out the dirty buds
which come to public laundry and
do up and deliver the Numbered
goods can move in the best society.
dirty work there is to do, the more
clean clothes are needed, and it serves
women just right if by foolishly plac-
ing social ban on those Of their sex
who do this dirty work they often find
themselves unable to secure much
needed assistance in the doing Of it.
TUBERCULOSIS AMONG THE HOGS.
The serious question of the existence
Of tuberculosis among the hogs in the
corn belt is one that is attracting a
great deal of attention, as well it may,
1t has been generally supposed this dis
ease has been confined to the bovine
animals and that the hog is rarely af-
ficted with it. This conclusion is who'll
ly wrong, as the slaughter tests at the
stoclyards Of the country show that it
is becoming a very common thing, so
common that certain of the hog produc-
ing sections of the country have be-
come blackliSted in the markets, and
buyers are instructed to refuse to take
any hogs from such blacklisted ter
ritory, owing to the large per cent of
| the hogs which at the packing houses
are condemned as being affected
| with tuberculosis and which are sent
| to the rendering tanks. One Of the
| largest of the packing houses in Chi
cago reports the loss from hogs con
| demned for this cause to have been
| 100000 during the past year, and q
| general movement is now on foot by
the packers to make the growers OF
these infected hogs stand the loss which
accrues from this source. 1t Is of in
terest to note in this connection thai
this blacklisted section Of the country
represents the dairy sections where the
hogs are largely raised on the biprod
ucts Of the dairy-skimmed milk, but
termilk, etc.-showing conclusively I;
very close relation between the tuber
cular COW and the tubercular hog. If
as it is generally admitted, the use O.
milk from tubercular COW will en-
gender the disease in the human being
1t Is easy to account for the spread O
the disease among the hogs and, further
easy to see how the use of q meat prod
uct so infected may become proliti,
source Of still further infection. S,
serious has this matter become no
only from its possible danger to human
life, but as affecting the profits of tn
hog business at large, that the matte
demands the prompt and united atten
ton OF our government and state au
thorities. 1t is almost useless to talk

BOSTON BOMBARDED.

During the Spanish American War, a
Spanish newspaper published the follow
ing in Havana:
A month has gone by since the coward
ly Yankees proclaimed war against
Spain. They then declared that they
would annihilate us; that they would
come and take Havana and level oul
forts to the ground

for our brave soldiers will repulse them,

their ships which pretended to maintain
blockhead, fear to come within the
range OF the noble guns Of MORO castle

but boast of what they will do, and then
do nothing.

Whenever the spies of the enemy have

become of it? They do not dare to come
and meet the brave Spaniards, knowing
full well that death will be certain tc

An interesting object lesson for the
farmer who is Indifferent to the neces-
sity Of proper crop rotation and soil
renewal is found in some districts Of
the south where land which had been
cropped to death is being increased in
value from so to 100 per cent by the
scientific employment of fertilizers and
the practice of crop rotation. The
good seed gospel is a great one, but it
can never prosper to any great extent

pect is that producer would receive
more for his pound of mutton in the
market than he will for either his beef
or pork. Taking the outlook as it is,

While most farmers are quick to ap.
preciate the value of good blood in all
their breeding animals many are
strangely reluctant to apply the same
rule to the seed sown and planted in
their fields. 1t matters not whether it
be corn OF any of the small grains, the
fact remains that the poor and inferior
seed if sown or planted is certain to
be the prime begetter of a poor and in
ferior crop. No work done on the farm
is so we'll paid as is that devoted to
careful selection and thorough prepa.
ration Of the seed to be sown.

The men who undertake for the first
time the job Of feeding carload Of
steers for the market nearly always
come out losers. The profitable feed
ing of steers is just as much of spe
cial business as dairying. The usual
cause of such failure is the fact that
they pay too much for their feeders
and nine times out of ten buy the
wrong kind; then they quite often sell
at the wrong time. The safest thing a
man can do who wants to take up this
line Of business is to go and work for
some successful feeder for year and

North of latitude ~ degrees it will
be found, taking a series of years,
that it will be safer and more profta.
BILE to plant varieties of corn which
will ripen within period of 100 days
than it will to grow the larger and
later maturing kind. The temptation
to grow big corn along the northern
limit of the corn belt costs the corn
growers Of that latitude vast sum of
money each year. For, while they can
raise the big corn and the big ears, it
is only rarely that it is enabled to
properly mature before the frost
catches it. 1t is every way better fol
a man to have his cribs filled with q
thousand bushels Of good sound corn
which will keep than it is to have LOCO
bushels Of soft and immature cor1
which he must feed out Mt once in or
