coMsTocK DEVELOPMENT.

Union shaft at Virginia is being cleaned
out and a survey is to be made prepara-
tory to opening a south drift to connect
with the north drift on the 1000 level of
Ophir. The face of this drift is now near
the south boundary line of the Mexican
and the connection, when made with the
Union shaft south, will not only improve
the ventilation, but will admit of pros
pecting the intervening virgin ground.
The Scorpion Company will soon resume
work in the east drift on the 1850 level
ofthe Union Con.

WHAT GOVERNOR
SPARKS THINKS
Nevada Horses, Mules. Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs Will Be Mar.
keted Right Here at Homo.

The following from Governor Sparks
to the Carson News is of interest to the
ranchers and stockmen of Nevada:
Editor News: 1t is my frank opinion
that there will be a local market FOR
every horse mule, beef and pork animal
bred and raised in this State for the next
five years. My reason for offering this
interview is this: The mines of Nevada
seem to be MISUNDERSTANDING have
shown great permanency, and new ones
are being discovered every day. We are
building railroads everywhere and our
territory is covered with surveying corps
from one end of the State to the other.
The Western Pacific promises us at least
1000 miles of broad gauge railroad, and
this naturally requires many hundreds
fbeef animals. There was never in
til. history of this State better time 10
breed and prepare useful animals Elec-
trio lines cannot be built without the
horse, the mule, the beef and the hog
They are the bulwarks of the enter
prise, and now is the time to increase
your herds and your bands of horses
and mules. Produce weight and quality
and you will be repaid for your efforts

Governor of Nevada"

PROGRESS OF jim
TAYL0R'S EXAMINATION

In the Jim Taylor examination for the
robbery of the Club saloon, the testimony
of Joe Mussersmith was finished after the
Silver State went to press yesterday. Il
was resumed this morning and the nrss
witness called was on behalf of the State
in the person of Walter Polkinghorn or
Willow Point, who District Attorney
Ducker put on in corroboration of tne
testimony given by Mussersmith. Attor-
ney Dunn objected to the testimony De-
ing given on the ground that it Was
hearsay. The District Attorney said that
it was simply in corroboration of Mus
sersmith to prove that Mussersmith told
Polkinghorn of conversation he had
with Taylor about holding up the Club
testimony was admissible and Polking
horn then testified to what Mussersmltn
told him about the plan to hold it up.
He also gave testimony about seeing Tay
lor leave with canvass sack and de-
scribed how he was dressed Polkinghorn
said he had bur little use for Taylor, in
answer to a question by Mr.. Dunn as
to whether he liked Taylor or not
Walter Kramer, waiter at the Up-to-
Date restaurant. was the next witness.
and testified to seeing Taylor in the Up
to-Date saloon about o'clock the morn
ing of the robbery. and said that he
thought he was armed. He also described
his dress. The court recessed at II o'clock
until o'clock. There has been some
damaging testimony against Taylor and
points to him as the man who did the
job.
Several more witnesses were subpoe-
naed this afternoon and the case will
not be finished before tomorrow.

OF GREAT VALUE
TO THE NATION
A Government Experiment Being
Tried in Coal Regions Of
PsnnsyIivania.

The question of reforesting waste noun
tain land in Wayne county, Pennsylvania,
has been investigated by the Forest Ser
vice, in connection with the preparation
of a planting plan for lands controlled by
Richard knight of Middletown, N. Y.
The plan recommends the planting of
commercially valuable trees on 1900 acres
of denuded land. Whatever young growth
is at present occupying the ground will
be favored where 1t will not detract from
the value of the future stand. There is
a second growth forest of 200 acres adj
jacent to the land to be planted, and
the recommendations will included direc-
tions for the right management of this
forest, as well as measures to protect
the whole property from fire.
The principal trees suitable for plant
ing in this locality are chestnut, Euro
pean larch, red pine, and red oak. Black
locust has many desirable qualities, but
its susceptibility to insect damage makes
it's use on large scale somewhat haz-
ardous, so that it will be planted only
to limited extent.
The growth of all these species is fair
ly rapid. so that they may be expected
to make a substantian yield in from thirty
to forty years. lie yield from thinning
in the meantime will also be of value.
When the plantation is from fifteen to
3 frtxy of or 1onl of mn
terial can be utilized for such purposes
as mine props
The nursery stock needed for the PLAN
tation will be grown on the tract This
lings, when ready for planting, will al
ready be acclimated To furnish these
seedlings a nursery capable of rearing
some 100000 plants annually will be es-
| tablished in the coming spring.
The project is one of great interest to
land owners of the region, as an example
of what may be done with these waste
lands. 1t is reasonably certain that the
experiment will increase the value of the
property and prove an excellent business
investment.
The demand for timber of all kinds in
northeastern Pennsylvania is far in ex-
cess of the local supply. This is espe-
cially true of the better classes of ma
terial. The coal mining companies re-
quire enormous quantities of timber an
nually and to obtain the amount needed,
they are forced to accept woods which
are of small value In many cases, how
ever, the use of strong, durable timber
| is imperative. and to supply this demand
large quantities must be imported, princi-
pally from the southern States.
The second growth hardwood forests
which in many places have replaced the
original stands are in illustration of what
would have been general had the cut
over lands been protected from fire. The
absence of protection, however, has re-
suited in large areas of brush land, abso-
lutely worthless in their present condi-
ton. This waste land If forested. is
capable of fully supplying the local mar
ket, and it is understood that large areas
will be planted to forests in the near
future.
