buyers have told me so, which forced me
to get export buyers in this section last
summer. 1t was decided that the farm
ers must have their own warehouses, and
/ hope that will live to see the farmers,
not ouly of South Carolina, but of the
entire South, have their own warehouses,
owned and controlled by them, and when
the small farmer, who is forced to sell
his cotton in September and October,
can place his cotton there and satisfy the
account with his banker and merchant,
both of whom are his friends, as was so
acknowledged in our convention by the
largest bankers and merchants in the
South, who are with us to stay.
The man who is not willing to help in
building warehouses for the farmers has
the good OF the mills at heart more than
the farmers interests, and is not in good
standing with our organization, and
should be spotted by the cotton growers.
| Let us be independent and fix the price
of our cotton, and if the mill man wants
it he can come to us. We must not bow
and beg them to take our cotton any
| longer, for we are not dependent on
them, but they are dependent on us.
Let the farmers understand their power
and demand justice. We support too
many people on our cotton. Cut out the
middle man and put him to ploughing

The New Orleans Cotton Association.

The annual meeting of the Southern
Cotton Association was held at New Or
deans January IL, II and l3, every county
nm the State being well represented. Far
mers, bankers, merchants, representa-
tives of the highest type OF manhood in
the South, were present, all determined
ITO make the organization stronger and
greater. They Insist on raising more
food crops, rotation i'll crops, and farm
ders who did not reduce the cotton acre
age last year must do so this year % per
cent.
President Harvie Jordan congra II, lated
the Southern Cotton Association for
standing together, and that we have ac-
complished everything up to now that
we set out to do, and that we had only
one aud onehalf million bales of cotton
in the South, and every bale of this will
be needed soon to ill contracts sold
ahead" Peace has been restored in for
eign lands aud a larger demand for man
,lfactured goods than we have ever had
is caused from the late disturbances.
The manufacturer adults that IL cents
was the price they expected to pay for
tho crop; therefore we will have to get
fifteen cents for the remainder of our cot
ton to average twelve cents per pound.
Cotton is the cheapest commodity on the
market to day.
If there was a man at the convention
that thought fifteen cents was too high
for cotton he did not dare show his head
or open his mouth. and when the vote
was taken it was unanimous for fifteen
cents. Amid shouts and yells: eve will
have it! We must have it! We will hold
until we do get it!' were expressions
heard all over the house. 1t would seem
that the cotton was in stronger hands
and in the hands of people that can cut
out the cotton crop if necessary or
plough it up after it is planted.

Miners WANT
BIGGER PAY

II was announced last Tuesday
that the Miners Union of Goldfeld,
on account of the increase cost of
living resulting from the freight
blockade, has decided to demand of
the mine-owners and leasers an in
crease in wages of 81 day. The
miners are now receiving $3.50
and IS for eight hours work, while
the new schedule calls for $3.50
and rs day. 1t is not known
what the mine-owners and leasers
will do in the premises, but the
miners declare they are confident
the demand will be granted for the
reason that the leassrs are anxious
to extract as much ore as possible
by January lst, when the principal
leases terminate.

PREHISTORIC.

Near Corn Creek, 25 miles from
Las Vegas, is a great deposit o
prehistoric bones and sea shells.
Prof. Bachtelle, collector OF crys-
talized minerals sor Yale COLLEGE,
ha, been commissioned by tn
Ward Science Establishment o
Rochester, N Y, to investigate the
deposits.
Bones:have been dislodged near
the surface, but the extent of tn
deposit is not known. Prof. Bach
telle will tunnel into the mounds
to determine the value and avail
ability of the fossils for scientifle
purposes.
In many parts OF Nevada are
found these evidences of prehistoric
life, when mammoths roameC
where lizards now crawl; and the
presence OF shells in the midst o
the deserts proves that the restless
seas once surged where now the
sage brush grows.

BuckSkn1 VIII
Be MxtBlq
Camp.

inst now all eyes are on Nevada
because of the phenomenal strides
which are being made in her min
ind industry. While the majority
of rich discoveries have been con-
fined to the southern part of the
state, the prospectors are now scat
tered over every mountain side OF
the entire state which gives the
slightest indication of mineral
formation. New towns are daily
springing into existence and new
people are focking to the State to
take advantage of the golden OPP
portunities which arr continually
presenting themselves.
Douglas county bids fair to play
an important part in the wonder
ful work as is attested to by the
following account of recent strikes
made at Buckskin which it locat-
ed in this county:
A correspondent OF the Carson
News telegraphed that paper un-
der date of December 18th that a
big strike has cen made at Buck
skin on the Hoppin lease on the
Jack Pierce property, the ore from
the ledge caught assaying several
thousand dollars as an average.
This with another strike made
with the last several days on the
Jack Bell lease indicate that Buck
skin is going TO be one of the big
camps next spring.
The first sample from the ledge
a grab, assayed S4S73.9S in gold
and 1915 in silver. The second
sample was from two inch strea k
which is in the ledge and the assays
from it run over $4,000. The gen
eral sample from the ledge, which
is twenty-seven feet in width, runs
S20S9.22 in gold and s11. A in sill
yer.
The strike on the Jack Bell lease
was made at depth of 80 feet Oh
a drift of 40 feet. A ledge over
twenty feet in width was caught
which is thought to BE- continua-
ton of the Buckskin Consolidated
ledge.
The greatest difficulty at this
camp is the lack of lumber and
material, it being nigh impossible
to get them. Next spring, how
ever, will see an influx of persons
and the camp will soon be among
the shippers.

LARGEST PROJECT OF
ITS KIND ON THE COAST
Alkali Lake Reservoir Will
Furnish Water to Irrigate
10000 Acres of Land.

1t IS not generally known that
the irrigation reservoir which Is
being constructed by the Hickey
Land and Cattle company at
Alkali Lake, is the largest project
of its kind ever attempted by
private individuals on the, Pacific
coast.
Just at present very little work
is being done on the reservoir,
owing to the prevailing bad wealth
er, but just as soon as good wealth
er puts in its appearance, renewed
activity will commence.
The reservoir will be in the
shape OF horseshoe and will be
seven miles in length and between
two and three miles in width.
The water will be raised 10 feet
above the outlet, and while the
reservoir will De much deeper, that
amount will be above the level OF
the tunnel which is now in the
course OF construction through the
mountain and which will empty
into Smith and Mason Valleys
where it will be utilized in reclaim
ing Thousands and thousands of
acres of arid land and be the
means of making homes for humid

built aud put on the Lake and
supplied with a steam shovel which
is to be used in the work OF exca-
