approximately SO. The yield of silver
is given at SOS ,93S 300, a gain Of $500, 600
over the previous year. The last yield
would have been twice as great had our
nation handled the silver question AZ
France and Mexico did between 1873
and 1898. From it people may estimate
how much the western miners have
lost ani are losing because Of interest

principal increase has been from Alaska

and which is said to be in the very
heart of the mighty possession. We
believe the estimate for Nevada is too
low, it being given at only 81, ,7oo, 900 in
gold and 60O0,O coo in silver. There is
certainly a mistake somewhere, and il
probably comes through ore that has
been shipped away for reduction being
credited to the states that have the
reduction works. The figures given
show how mighty is the annual rein
forcement which the precious metal
mines supply to the country, what
vitalizing force they are to the business
of the republic. 1t is created wealth
that is permanent. The country eats
up or ships away its corn and wheat
crops, it wears out or ships out the
cotton crop, but the gold and silver are
immortal. And the amount OF those
metals held in circulation in any
country is a barometer through which
to measure the business and power of
that country. Goodwin's Weekly.

WONDERFUL new
MINING CAMP

Manhattan still holds the center of
the stage and the stampede from
Tonopah and Goldfeld to the scene
of the great discoveries is unabated.
On conservative estimate, one thous-
and men left Tonopah this week for
the new gold camp, says the Miner
of last Saturday, and the population of
Manhattan at this writing probably
exceeds 5000. The stage and auto
mobile companies and the livery
stables are unable to meet the de-
mand for transportion and all sorts and
conditions of vehicles have been
pressed into service.
There has been a sensational ad-
vance in the price of town lots dur
ing the past week, lots which sold
ten days ago for $75 or 500 now COM
manding prices ranging from $500 to

In an address on the reclamation
work in the west before the National
Geographical Society last night, c. J.
Blanchard OF the Geological Survey de-
elared that 81 miles OF main canals of
various size have been built during the
three years in which the United States
reclamation service has been organized
and that irrigation canals long enough
to span the earth twice, and represent
ing an outlay of $50, ,000, 900 have been

in operation $50 miles OF telephone,
l25 miles of road in canyons, involving
deep cuts, it has excavated ten million

going on in eleven different projects.
"The reclamation survey has laid

SHERIFF COLLECTS
SHEEP TAX

Sheriff Robert Shirley left last Sun
day for the grazing districts in the
eastern part of the county, where he
goes to collect the sheep license on the
various migratory bands of sheep
Sheriff Shirley believes in the old adage
that the early bird catches the worm,
and does not propose to let the sheep
move to their spring quarters, there to
fall a prey to thewiles of other county
sheriffs.
The state law authorizing the sheep
license was passed in 1908. and requires
that owners of transient cattle must
pay to the county in whose confines
they are grazed forty cents per head
for cattle and ten cents per head for
sheep.

A good many requests have been

soonest testimonial perhaps to the con-
fidence in which the mines future is
held, is the fact that each request has
contained a substantial check in pay
ment for stock desired All ready
enough stock has been sold and sub
scribed to ensure all necessary develop
ment work for the time being, and
with the assays in mind, no one believes
that any great amount of work will be
required to place the mine ON a paving
basis.
For the present only $4,000 shares of
treasury stock will be sold, it being the
policy of the company to retain as
much as possible for the benefit OF the
original incorporators.
Work will be instituted as soon as
possible and contracts will be let as
soon as the company can get down on
a working basis.

The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany Is now actively engaged in gather
ing data relative to this project, and a
few weeks more will witness wide dis
semination of information concerning
our section through the means usually
employed by the railroad companies.
Every effort should be Tended by the
local interests in this work, as the sue
cess OF the project can only be assured
by attracting new settlers.
In regard to the experimental farm.
a bill is now before congress for an ap-
preparation of money to be used by the
Department OF Agriculture, which will
have the work in hand. Should this
bill be reported fayorably, work will be
taken up Immediately and plot of
land selected for future experimental
farming Experts will be employed
and the resources of the soil demon
strated
In the meantime, the alkal test
will be instituted under the personal
supervision OF myself, although the
location has not been selected.

CAMPS MAY
MOVE TO HAzEN

1t is currently reported that all
government camps now employed on
canal work in this vinclnity will be
moved sometime within the next few
weeks to between Hazen and Wads-
worth, where A. c. Redmond is now
engaged in the work of surveying a
lateral system. The work left in this
section will be taken up by the con-
tractors, whose figures will be asked
for soon.
This move has been made necessary
by reason of the fact that many settlers
have located farm units in the territory
between Hazen and Wadsworth, and
have brought their selections to state
that demands water this season.

the fire which occurred at the Douglass

50 tons of alfalfa and wagon were

The stack OF hay was not more than
six feet from one of the large barns, and
that the structure did not burn was
due to the heroic work of the ranch en-
