TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the Offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
it pays to patronize home industry.

RESPONSIBLE MAN
IN new POSITION

j. T. Lewis, who occupied SO long
a term as secretary-treasurer of the
Tonopah Miners Union, left by auto
on Friday morning for Reveille. He
goes to take position at the prop
erty of the Southwestern Nevada
Mines Company, and the company
has made a good find in securing his
services. No better miner, as a skill
full or experienced workman, is there
in Nevada than Mr.. Lewis, and he is
a good man in any community.

CAME TO ATTEND
KEWANAS MEETING
DIRECTOR SIMS TELLS OF THE
MARVELLOUS STRIDES OF
SAN FRANCISCO.

w. a. Sims and H. F. Dangburg
arrived yesterday, the former from
San Francisco, and the latter from
Carson, coming in from Nina by
auto. Both are directors of the Ke-
wanas Mining Company, and left for
Goldfield in the afternoon to attend
the quarterly meeting of the COM
pany. They went from here in the
Douglass auto, and were accompan-
led by w. J. Douglass and Tom Ken
dali.
Mr.. Sims is one of the best known
attorneys in San Francisco, and is
known throughout the entire State of
California. He is also interested in
the local gas company. Speaking of
conditions in San Francisco, he said
that it was simply marvellous the
manner in which the upbuilding of
the city was going ahead.
The labor troubles in the city are
practically settled said he, ''the last
being the car strike. Everywhere is
heard the hum of improvements, and
on all sides the big buildings are go
ing up as fast as labor can put them.
San Francisco is showing to the
world the stuff of which her men are
made, for they have thrived upon
their trouble instead of sitting back
and waiting for somebody to come in
and do their work for them
Politics are playing a very i'm
portant part in the affairs of the city
just now, and everybody is busy al
that game. There is no doubt that
Taylor will be the next mayor, ant
that Langdon will be reelected. Nc
Carthy, the labor candidate fol
mayor, has not the support of uniol
labor, while Mayor Taylor has ant
SO has Langdon. On the Democrat,
ticket, William McCabe has beer

Width Ledge

There are eleven samples in all,
from which these assays are taken,
and the average is $37.S4. This is
very fine milling ore, and it is said
besides that there are large quanti-
ties on the other claims which will
surpass this showing. The Silver
Peak Valcalda, which is owned by
the O'Meara brothers, has an album
dance of ore which is now being put
through the mill, and netting $S5 a
ton.
This makes fine showing for, the
Silver Peak country, which is going
ahead without much being said of it's
operations, developing and grinding
out the ore.

Storing the Rain and Snow Fall.

Prof. Elias Nelson, irrigationist
at the government station at Cald-
we'll, gave valuable addresses at
the Meridian and Caldwell Farmefs'
Institute. At the Caldwell Institute
charts were used to show the inn
portant bearing that the proper
preparation of the soil, with refer
cnce to storing the fall and winter
moisture has upon the succeeding
seasons crop. Deep, fall blowing
SO as to enable the ground to hold
this moisture, instead of permit
ting it to run off, was shown to
have very marked influence on
the succeeding years crop, both
under irrigation and dry farming.
1t is conserving the moisture, in
a very practical way, SO that it can
be utilized to promote plant growth.
Fall irrigation was likewise COM
mended. Gem State Rural.

Best Method of Applying Water

A. Mcpherson, agricultural sup

pertinent station, in a very compre-
hensive and interesting report of
the work of the station the past
year, has the following to say about
methods of irrigation:
The character of the soil and the
lay of the land should indicate the
best method of applying water.
Two methods have been tried on
the Twin Falls tract, flooding and
by burrows or corrugations. After
a thorough trial the corrugation
method has been given the prefer
cnce, and fully go per cent of the
farms have adopted this method.
believe it is the better of the
two, especially when annual crops
are grown, such as grain, etc.
While it is true that some others
claim that the duty of the water is
greater by flooding than by CORFU
cation, that has not been my exper-
fence in the portion of the arid dis
trict where am located.
1t is understood that water only
goes into the soil under pressure,
and that plants practically stop
growing wncn the air is excluded.

Two Mile Limit Law.

The owners of sheep in Idaho
cannot let them Craze within two
miles of a human habitation, ac-
cording to a decision rendered in
the supreme court of the United
States on appeal from Idaho in the
case of Ormsby & Brown VS.. Enos
c. Walling. The case grew out of
the fact that the defendants, con-
trary to the Idaho statute, ranged a
herd of 5000 sheep within two
miles of the ranch house of plain
tiff. He asked for damages and
the state court awarded them. An
appeal was taken on the ground
of the unconstitutionality of the
Idaho law, and in an opinion writ
ten by justice McKenna, Justices
Brewer and Pcckham dissenting,
the law is upheld.
The case arouses rccollcctions of
time when the feeling between
the cattle and sheep men was in
tense. When the trial was in pro-
gress in Idaho some apprehension
was expressed that it might cause a
revival of the old-timc enmitics,
and the member of the state SUI
preme court who prepared the
courts opinion said even if his
judgment was favorable to the sheep
men he would not take the chances
on rcopening the controversy by de-
Gliding in their favor. -Pocatcllo

trict, is the scene of the excite

Goldfield, Nevada, is being brought
to the surface. One chunk of ore
weighing IS pounds is shot through

From fifty-two samples of ore
taken from more than twenty open

An important change in the adj
ministration of the postofficc de-
partment will become effccticv to-
morrow or soon thereafter when the
department of correspondence will
be divided and distributed among
other bureaus of the government.
First Assistant Postmaster GEN.

ment, as has been provided by
Postmaster General Cortelyou.
1T is of the highest Importance
to people who use the nails says
Mr.. Hitchcock, ''that this change
should be made. Much purely
legal work now developing upon
the division of correspondence
should be transferred to the assist
ant attorney general of the post
office department. This requires
careful study and application of
the law, and for an exact and COM
prehepsive knowledge of many
branches of the law. 1t should fall,
properly within the province of the

the division of correspondence be-
longs propriately to the third

Il think it crime for the
woman TO shirk her primary duties,
to shrink from being a good wife
and mother. OF course, the woman
should have the same rights as the
man to train her mind, to better
herself and occasionally a woman
can and ought to follow some
special vocation in addition to
(never in substitution for) her home
work.
But just as the highest work
tor the normal man is work for his
wife and children, so the highest
work for the normal woman is
the work for the home, where,
heaven knows the work is ample
enough.
But | also feel that she can do
the work best in her home if she
has healthy outside interests and

firmly believe that she cannot do

13-YEAR WATCH
LOST ON 18TH BY
THIS RESCUER

D. Mulherron, formerly a deputy
sheriff who now has an Office in the
Douglas building opposite the scene
of devastation, was within a few feet
of the restaurant, about to go inside
to dine when the blowup happened.
The table which he invariably occu-
pies is now attached to the ceiling,
against which it was blown, forced
into thj laths and still hangs there as
though nailed tight, the torn table,
cloth tapping over the sides.
Mulherron jumped in among the res
cuers, lent a hand and now misses
his coat, vest and watch, which he car
ried for thirteen years and has now
lost on the 18th OF February. He thinks
some of the workmen carried it off by
mistake, but is so glad that he escaped
with his life that he has no regrets
over the loss.
when we got to Miss Clifford she
was fastened in such way that her
feet could not be disengaged from the
boards" said he. "I took her shoes
off and we finally got the load of
debris off her.
"A barber who had been paying at
tention to Miss Myers, whose body we
knew lay in the center of the kitchen
space, came in to help save her, then
broke into tears and we finally led
him away and tried to get him to brace
up on a bit of whisky. He went off
to find telephone girl named Mar
garet, who was a chum of Miss Myers
and who knew where her relatives
live"
