nv FROM WAShoE
Ed Harris, Of Wasooe, District Spent
the Day in This City

Id Harris, the original discovere1
CT the Harris mine in the Washoe
mining district, spent yesterday in
this c.y. Ed probably knows more
concerning that particular district
han enc man, as he has taken out and
spent a fortune from the mine that
he recently sold TO eastern people He
$ employed al the mine as assayer.
in speaking OF the district he says:
"Washoe district is an Old one but
a good district. There il plenty Of
good chances to prospect and some
wonderfully rich ore has been I'm.
covered from time 20 tire. At the

contemplated, and that is what is
needed TO make the section win

AT the Rocky Hin ground below
Washoe City there IS a great deal of
activity. The mill is going along as
fast az possible and the men are
showing a great deal Of energy They
have some very good grade rock in
sight and should make a showing
when they get to pounding away on
ores At the old Galena hill property
there is considerable prospecting and
they claim to have big bunch OF
high grade ore l have not been in

the statements made by the manage

"PrOspectOrs are f1ocking to the new
Veison and they will undoubtedly
uncover some rich ground before the
season is over The district is all
right.
Yes, l have other property IN the
camp The old mine has been sold
but ! have other ground that East
ern people are after. and II they
come through with the price they
can have it, ! know what ground out
that way is worth and it costs more

Locusts in Algeria,

Locusts are devastating southern
Algeria. The swarms are so great as
almost to defy imagination. II is not
easy to conceive Of an almost solid
phalanx of insects 1875 miles long by
six miles wide. Unfortunately the
devastation which such myriads Of yo-
racious insects must create in vege-
tation is not SO difficult to appreciate.
Wherever the host has passed nothing
green remains Even the houses are
becoming uninnabltahle. The Oran
