WALKER LAKE RESERVATION
Three Known Mineral Belts In Land
to Be Opened Oct. 29

Hawthorne, New. Oct. i3.-There are
three known mineral belts in the Wal
ker Lake Indian Reservation. which is
to be thrown open on the 80. One OF
these begins near the foot of Mt. Grant,
above Hawthorne, on the west side OF
the lake. aud runs northward for several
miles. 1t carries small ledges rich in
gold. Many fine samples of this rock
have been obtained by mining men and
venturesome prospectors who have
slipped within the reservation and pros.
pected during the absence of the In.
dian police. Twenty-Five or thirty
miles north of this district on the west
side Of the lake is another belt which is
known to carry good values in lead and
silver with some copper. lead predomin.
ating. Across the lake aud below this
second belt is a zone of silver and gold
ore with small copper values. This
zone extends eastward beyond the
reservation limits In places aud is being
mined now by Goldfeld parties.
Daring the last month the Indian
police employed on the Reservation
have been doubled in number. The
policemen are mounted and carry rifles.
All persons found prospecting in the
Reservation are deprived of their out
fits and warned not to return under
pain OF arrest and prosecution.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.
Nepada's Wonderful Progress

Since the discovery of Tonopah over
100 mining districts have been
established in Nevada. some of them
were old camps that had been aban Ion :
ed for years ON account of the cost of
obtaining supplies aud shipping ore ex-
clusively by teams to remote points.
but the advent of railroads is now
bringing them into prominence and
capitalists are seeking investment in
what were considered properties in
which ore too low in grade aud too far
from transportation facilities could not
be haudled profitably until the past few
years.
Scarcely week passes without now
mining districts being organized and
fourishing towns springiug up like
mushrooms in what was heretofore the
most desolate desert regions in the
STATE, extending in an almost unbroken
line from the White mountains to tn
Funeral range, and there are still vast
unexplored areas that are destined to
add materially to the mineral II resourees
of the commonwealth that will place it
in the front rank of the wealth pro-
ducng regions of the eartb.-Virginia
Chronicle.

Red Hot Sermon

Rev. George III. Greeniield preached
a red-hot sermon Sunday night in Eko
on the morals Of the town. He made
some startling charges, based upon
what he had seen the races and at
the Hot Springs, aud what the records
disclosed in regard to the collection OF
gaming licenses. Mr.. Greenfield has
evidently kept his eyes open aud has
seen few things that the mass Of our
citizens know nothing about. He spoke
direct from the shoulder and did not
mince matters in the least. The sad
dest part of it is that he told the truth.

TO CoLONIZE CARSON SINK
Interior Department and Southern
Pacific To Take Up the Matter

F1llon, Nevada. Oct. 13.-The Inte.
rior Department, with the cooperation
of the Southern Pacific Company will
soon take up the matter Of coloniz ng
Eastern farmers upon the public lands
in the Cirson Sink. where the Truckee-
Carson project is rec aiming a third OF
million acres of fine farming and
stock lands. On account of the long
distance of Nevada from the thickly-
settled farming countries Of the East
and the unknown qualities of its soil,
together with the fact that irrigation Is
as TRANCE departure for Eastern farmers.
the settlement OF the sink has been
slow, Settlers must also have some
capital. as the Government charges
about 81 60 an acre year for the
water for a period of ten years when
the settler gets clear water title.
Q. J. Blauchars says the Interior De-
parim will sjon take up the coloni-
zation matter and by Advertising the
resources of the district aud the profits
to be made in farming, will bring sew.
eral thousand settlers. These settlers
will be given the advantage Of expert
instruction in Nevada crop raising and
will be furnished free with many of the
seeds needed. The railroad Company
will 90 operate in the work. he says.

Western Pacific Lets Contracts

San Francisco, Oct. l3 3-Contracts
have been let by the Western Pacific
Railway for the grading of 100 miles
of its proposed line through Nevada.
The present contract runs from Deeth,
in Humboldt Valley. TO the Nevada
Utah line. 1t is a difficult country to
traverse. Mountain ranges obstruct
passage in every direction. In order to
find practicable grade. engineers have
chosen route that is not direct but
when completed will do away with the
double.engine service that would other
wise be necessary.

There is wrong impression current
in relation to the annual holding work
on unpatented mining locations. The
law requiring sinking a ten-foot hole
or running a cut or tunnel TO cut the
ledge at that depth is a Nevada statute.
requiring that amount of development
work to be performed after notices are
posted and claim boundaries marked to
complete such locations. The annual
holding or assessment work OF 800 is a
National law and has nothing whatever
to do with the location work required
by the State law, but the 800 worth Of
labor required annually by the Federal
mining statutes must be performed d
every year succeeding that on which
locations were made. and neglect to
comply with that provision will result
in forfeit OF tille.-Virginia Chroni lie

BOOSTING IRRIGATION

how much water to apply.
Experience throughout the arid re-
gion." the report says, sis demonstrat-
ing that the greatest danger to irrigated
lands is lack of drainage. Water ap-
piled to crops raises the ground water,
which brings with it the salts dissolved
from the soil capillarity brings this
water to the surface, where it evapor-
ates, the salts to accumulate until all
vegetation is destroyed. The only in
surance against this is proper drainage,
but anything-as economy in the use
of water and thorough cultivation
which will check the rise of ground
water or lessen evaporation, will de-
crease the danger"

Earliest Snowfall Known in This
Section.

The first real taste of winter came to
people throughout this section Wednes
day morning, when about o'clock
there was a furry of snow and at
different times during the day more
snow fell throughout almost the entire
State.
The mercury fell to "a degrees above
zero in the early morning and lowered
around that point throughout the day
1t is peculiar and significant fact that
this is the only time, so far as the rec
ords show. that snow has ever fallen
in this section before there had been a
frost
The earliest date at which snow ever
fell in this locality before was October
18, 1868, at which time it is said that
some three or four inches fell. No
other year shows a report of snow ear
lier than October 80, 1890, and October
26, 1899. upon which dates the precipi-
tatiOn was slight.
