Lovelock tribune. (Lovelock, Nev.) 1898-1912, 1906-05-25

Buckskin, Seven Troughs, Fairview,
Manhattan, in fact all the other fam
Gus camps in which the people of
Lovelock have been interested, are
now things of the past, while Burnt
stew is the all absorbing topic of the
day
What is Burnt-stew? Why its the
great strike made by Messrs. Beeson,
Lochhead, Bible and Ladd last week
while out on prospecting trip in the
vicinity of Bluewing. They had the
famous span of greys which the late
Geo. |. add had when he discovered
the now famous Bullfrog mines, and
George Jr., was plotting the boys to
)me veins which his father had found
before starting on the southern trip
and had told his son Of.
They did not fin he exsct We n
where the Discoveror of Bullfrog"
had uncovered the hidden treasure
and then covered it up again, but they
found something which has set the
town wild again and caused a STAN
pede to the camp which they named
Burnt stew"
l.. L. Beeson was the actual diseov-
erer. He was in the lead going down
the canyon while Jim Lochhead was a
close second. Beeson picked up a
piece of float and soon discovered the
cropping of the ledge. They could
see the free gold in it and went to
digging like beavers, to discover its
extent. They trenched across it ten
feet, sunk about s feet and found the
same gold sprinkled rock in all their
digging. Then thev discovered the
groupings of the ledge on the other
side of the canyon. Locating these
two discoveries the boys returned to
their Burnt-stew camp and panned
some of the rock. The string of
colors they got set them wild. They
returned to town last Saturday night,
arriving about 6o'clock. The samples
of rock they brought were soon the
center of curious crowds, and in
uuiries we're made as to where they
had found it.
1t had been the intention Of the
discoveries to send some Of the rock
with Lochhead to Salt Lake, as he
was going home on short visit, and
have him get assays made. Upon re
ceipt of the returns they would go
out and make further locations and
do work. But from the exclamatlons
of those who passed upon the ore and
from inquiries as to its location, they
soon saw that stampede was on and
that they could not wait for returns
from any assays So they held aprlv-
ate consultation and decided to start
back to their discovery by the break
of the next day. But that was not
early enough to beat other outfits,
! for before midnight Charley Torrey,
Farncis Reid and others had got on
TO the road and were making bee
line for the scene Of the BIZ strike
During Sunday there were hall a
dozen teams started out, among hose

Season in Lovelock.

The squads of workmen, rumbling
of gravel trains, screech of passing
locomotives and other commoti0n of
lahorers, trainmen and section men
which has been evident in Lovelock
this week is but the beginning of what
is to be this summer.
This week the work train has been
building additional side track at the
stock yards. This was badly needed.
for storing of empties but will be in
still greater demand during the work,
this summer. Upon it they can store,
material for the new stock yards and
it can be used for the passing Of
trains in and out from here.
The steam shovel which will be u.s..
ed at the Perth pit, has been in the.
repair shops at Sparks and is expect
ed to be in repair and arrive here
Monday, then the work Of getting out
the gravel and hauling from this point
will begin.
Trains of lahorer's cars are comingl
and going every day and are beingl
gathered at Perth. There will be a.
telegraph station opened at the pit as
soon as work begins and at leasi'S
three train crews will make their
headquarters here. |, !,

The Maryland Association for the Pre-
vention and Relief of tuberculosis, which
was authorized by the last Legislature
and which has organized and is doing
wonderful work, is not aided by State
appropriation, but is entirely dependent
upon voluntary contributions. 1t requires
over six thousand dollars year if this
work is to be carried on in thorough
and systematic manner, and not more
than one-third of this sum has been re-
ceived. consequently the association is
soliciting aid. David Hutzler, of Balti-
more, is treasurer. The work being car
ried on by this association is one that
can not help but do untold good and is
entitled to the generous support of our
citizens.

had proceeded about fifteen miles when
the train overlook him. He was knock

sort of fashion, proceeded to run over
him. The man spoke few words and
expressed the wish that $4,000 accident

Mrs. Roosevelt, who though she is the
first lady in the land has few opportu-
mites to do just as she pleases, delights
iu the freedom Of the country and clad in
short skirt and loose coat now takes
long walks with the President, or when
he is hunting tramps about the place by
herself. The weather has been ideal
during this visit and the President is so
enthusiastic about the life there that he
will return to it at Thanksgiving and
again at Christmas. 1t is popularity of
Mr.. Roosevelt that his adaptability and
enthusiasm make him at home every
where and whether he is entertaining at
a state dinner at the White House or
eating off of ironstone china i'll his six
room country cottage he is apparently at
that moment enjoying himself to the
limit.

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock will
retire from President Roosevelt's Cabinet
on the 4th of next March, and James R.
Garfield, at present Commissioner of Cor
porations. will succeed him. Herbert
Knox Smith, now Assistant Commissioner
of Corporations, will be appointed to Mr..
Gar6eld's place.
With war in the wind the placing OF
Secretary Metcalf at the head of the
Navy Department is regarded with in-
terest. He is we'll known to be heartily
in favor of every means to enlarge and
strengtheuthe navy and in cordial SYM
pathy with the administration policy to
upbuild that branch of the service. Mr..
Metcalf will probably not move from the
Department of Commerce and Labor
until after Congress convenes in Decem-
Der. Then Mr.. Bonaparte will assume
his duties at the head of the Department
Justice and Oscar S. Straus will take his
place in charge of the Department oil
Commerce and Labor. Secretary Shaw
will not retire from the Treasury until
early in March, so that the other Cabinet
changes will not be coincident with the
ones Just mentioned.

LICENSE DEFEATED.

The interest taken in the issue of license
or no-license in Cecil county at the cleo
tion on Tuesday quite overshadowed that
of the contest for Congressman. The
vote on the question was gratifying to the
temperance element, showing an increas-
ed majority against license over that of
four years ago when local option won by
but 81 majority. In Tuesdays's election
the Second, Third and Seventh districts
were the only ones carried for license, the
other six districts going against, the
total majority in the county against
license being 2o5. The majority in our
own district-the Sixth-shows falling
off. it having been I35 against license
four years ago, while this year it was 1aS.
Notwithstanding the ballot this year
was plain and simple affair. which
almost anyone, with little care, should
have been able to vote correctly, the
carelessness of some voters is very appar-
ent, as a half dozen ballots here showed
the Prohibition candidate for Congress
and License voted for, combination
that would hardly work in harmony. An
explanation might be found in the fact
that For License was directly to the right
of and on line with the name of the
Prohibition candidate for congress, the
voter being too careless to study the
ticket before marking.

State Board OF Forestry.

We have received several leaflets from
the Maryland State Board of Forestry
explanatory of the purposes of the Board,
which was organized in May last under
act of the Legislature. State Forester
has been elected, and the Board is now
prepared to take up the forest problems
of woodlots and timber tracts in prac-
tical way.
The Act establishing the Board pro-
vides that the State Forester shall upon
request, cooperate with owners of wood
lands and those wishing to plant forest
trees, by the suggestion and preparation
of plans for forest management and
protection. 1t is estimated that Al per
cent of the land area of the State is in
woodlands, owned principally by private
individuals, and the question is how to
make these lands the most productive.
Upon nearly every farm is a woodlot
upon which taxes are paid, but the same
exacting principle is not applied as to the
other part of the farm, namely, that every
acre must yield the greatest returns of
which it is capable. IF every acre of
the woodlot or timber tract is not Weld
ing the best returns for fuel, fence posts,
poles, construction material, etc., there is
a chance to improve the management. 1t
is fact that not one woodlot in ten is
yielding as good returns as it should with
proper care.
Practical forestry is simply the applica-
tion of economic principles in the treat
ment of woodlands, and it is only by
carrying out definite plan of manage
ment that our forests will be the most
productive and best serve the purposes of
the owner.
The State Forester will, on request
make examinations of woodlots, timber
tracts, and lands upon which planting is
proposed, with a view of introducing
forest management. An examination
usually takes but few hours, and where
two or more applications come from the
same locality, SO that more than one ex-
animation can be made on the same trip,
the expenses can be divided among the
applicants. Blank forms will be sent on
application to F. w. Besley, State For
ester, Baltimore, Md.
