ii BOYS MAY BECOM
Two lining Students In Walker River
Run and Secure Exceedingly
Good Claims.

Free Stewart and Dwight Leavitt,
seniors in the school of mines, r.
turned ,ednesday from Walker Lake
~eservatlon. Although worn out from
their hard chase, they were enthused
to the extreme, believing they have
found the golden fleece.
The young men left here the Satur-
day preceding the opening and on
Monday at noon, with a band of a
thousand ~prospectors they tool up
the race for gold. Leavitt s knowledge
of the country proved a boon, and af-
ter a few hours of spirited chase they
had arrived in the heart of one of
the richest mining districts in the
reservation and had located two valuv
able lodges. Others who were in the
before night the count yfor miles
around had been located.
The young men are exceedingly ret
icent and non-committal in regard 20
information received from others who
are in a position to know whereof they
speak, it has been learned that the
rock carries fabulous values. Little
is known as to whether the lodges are
permanent, but indications would say
decidedly tina they are.
Within the next few days Leavitt
and Stewart will return to the grounds
and some arrangements for the work
ing of the property will be made.
They reported much excitement and
CONSERVATION in all portions of the
reservation, an, although they wit
messed no bloodshcd, rumors came to
hem to the effect that several pros
ctorS met death, either in defending
heir claims or in resorting to foui
aetics IN acquiring possession of the
same. When asked as to the reported
avail battle at the mouth of Dutch
cree kthey attested as being in hearing
range of the gun shots and later con
frmation Of the report was given
them. The sensational reports of the
tumult and excitement, - said Mr.. Leav-
tit, "have not to my to my knowledge
been exaggerated"

Ehere e not mutn new IN the Car

unmarked l.. II. Baylor, who HIS caarg
of the government irrigation work in
Nevada, and who spent yesterday in
this city. Our greatest drawback is
the question of labor; at present we
have 800 men at work there, paying the
day laborers from 1925 to 1915 a day
and we nave been vainly trying to Sc
cure $50 more. Ehe lack of help is one
of the greatest things which causes us
the most inconvenience.
"The Carson Truckee will reclaim
about $50, 900 acres of arid land when
it is completed and we already have
10000 acres irrigated and now under
cultivation. What this means to the
state cacn be anticipated when you re
member that in this section several
years ago there were but 500 people,
now there are 1000 inhabitants. We
have bitches now completed to irri
gate 10000 acres of land and by spring
expect to have 100000 acres under
irrigation. The government is allow
ing persons to toxic up the land by
merely paying the costs of irrigation
$50 an acre, or $3.50 annually for
ten years, there being no interests on
def rred payments. At the end of
that period the settler owns the irri-
cation bitches and has water rights
and there is only one thing necessary
for him to do and that is to maintain
them.
"The government Is also figuring
on a irrigation scheme on the Walk
or river continued Mr.. Taylor, "there
easily can be reclaimed.
"Another project is that on the
Humboldt river; the estimates are
made for that section, but / think that
at least 100000 acres of arid land
can be reclaimed. That scheme
would probably be the biggest in the
state and would mean the most. |
cannot tell what order these schemes
will be taken up in, as that matter
is left to the authorities at Washing
ton, d. c.
Nevada soil is exceptionally rich
and the only thing that it needs to pro
duce the finest cereals and vegetables
in the country is water, and that is
what we are trying to furnish. The
time viii come when Nevada will
not only be one of the biggest min
ing states of the union, a position which
it already holds, but it will al
so be recognized as a great agrieul
tural region. If you are in the re
gion of Carson sink the latter part
of 1907 yoa will see our work com
pleted and that immense section, for
merly an arid waste, blooming as the
rose.'

Major General Leonard Wood Is the
logical commander of an expedition
of the kind, bur he had a number of
generals under him in the military
department OF the Philippines, any
of whom are suitable for service in
China
He thought ii unlikely that troops
would be dispatched from here under
a general. 1T seems probable" he
continued, that most of the forces

from the United States. for there
