TURNING
TOWARD NEVADA
G. D. Porter Says Fasteners Are
Looking for Mining
Investments.

c. ID. Porter, who has large interests
in southern Nevada, is back from the
East and will be one of a party TO
leave this morning for Greenwater. With
his brother, Colonel Peter Porter, he
is interested in and operating one of
the big copper properties in Bingham
Utah.
"The people in the East, - said Mr.
Porter, care awakening to the posi-
bilities and opportunities of this coun-
try more and more every day. They
are looking for legitimate mining in
vestments and they are beginning to
realize where they are to be had. They
are tired of the so-called industrials,
which simply gives a man no show at
all for his money, and they want to
put their coin where they can see some
thing for it. If they know that it is
going into the ground they are salts
fed that it is being invested. This 3
CT per cent return per year does not
appeal to the Fastener any more,

Increase of Business on Salt Lake
Division Makes Present Force In

Within few days the dispatching
district of the Salt Lake division will

ANOTHER BANK FOR

C. B. MCINTOSH HEAD OF
NEW LOVELOCK INSTITUTION
Is Interested in Big Consolidation of
Rich Mines in the Yerington
District.

RENO, New, May 14-C. b. Nc
Intosh, associate of c. c. Boak of Ton
opah and one of the mining men in
terested in the recently organized Man
haitian Consolidated Gold Mines com
pany, was in Reno yesterday on his
way to Lovelock, where he is going

The new bank will be financed and
backed by some of the best capitalists
in the State, and will be ready for bus
mess in short time.
The new consolidation in which Mr..
Mcintosh is interested comprises the
Moutain View group, the Big Twenty
group and the Kid Willis group. These
three claims are located about sixteen
miles east of Yerington, and are among
the richest mines in that part of the
State. The company paid 100000
cash for the property and expects to
spend $250,000 more in equipping and
developing the holdings.

BOB UP WITH A
BOOM
ANOTHER EXCITEMENT AT
OLD CAMP OF TUSCARORA.
Test Runs Show Rich Values in Placer
Diggings, About Two and One-Half
Miles From the Town.
Especial Correspondence


A discovery of rich placer ground
has been made at Old Tuscarora, on
McCann creek, about two and one-half
miles from the town. Considerable ex-
eitement has been caused by the find
and it is said to be one of the most
important in tn edistrict.
Harry L. Bartlett, who is in one the
new find, has the following to say re-
garding the property on which test
run has been made:
81 kept a record of the last trial run
for test purposes to show the value
per cubic yard. They washed down
thirty cubic yards of dirt into a race
and then cleaned up the bed rock as
best they could, (as water was running
in from the outside it was impossible to
make saving of more than seventy
per cent? then put it through rocker,
saving $66.20 in gold dust. This makes
little better than $2.20 per cubic
yard. The company has little over
100 acres of placer ground with water
supply"
Work on an extensive scale, we are
advised, will commence at an early
date.

GREAT CROPS
WILL BE CUT
IN THE NORTH
Il. Piper, Foreman OF Godchaux
Ranch, Says 1000 Tons Can
be Cut on His Ranch

Some If the greatest crops ever cut
in the northern part of the county will
be harvested this year. The very fav-
orable winter with it's tons of heavy
snow fall, and the many rains of this
spring have soaked the ground and as
a result the grass has grown as it
never grew before. In the mountains
lie thousands of tons of snow piled up
in mighty drifts which will gradually
melt away as the warmth Of the
weather increases, and this water com
ing down in the month Of June will
furnish more water for the land as that
which was deposited during the winter
is evaporated and asses into the soil
The flood waters of the early spring
have not all gone down yet, for many
ranch lands are yet submerged and all
are very damp. Hundreds of acres in
the lower end of Paradise Valley are
yet under water and hundreds of acres
more are SO wet that a man on horse
back cannot ride over them for fear of
miring down.
In the northern part of the valley
the land has dried out faster, but there
are yet portions of the northern part
that can not be plowed because it is
so wet

III the history of the Godchaux ranch
is now staring him in the face. .I
could cut four thousand tons and not
get off the smooth ground,o he saws.
But ne says that probably very little
hay will be cut for the reason that the
ranch now has more hay in stock than
1t knows what to do with.
Later, in discussing the high price
OF hay in Winnemucca, he stated that
that fact didn t do him any good, for
his hay was surrounded by great lakes
OF water and man would do well to
reach 1t on foot, that to haul it out at
TINS time was an utter impossibility.
Great crops will be harvested from
the Godchaux ranch north throughout
the valley. The songs Of the reapers
will mingle with the clatter Of the
haying machinery.
significant thought is that AZ the
hundreds of men gather in the hay
crop in Paradise Valley, hundreds, ave
thousands more will be engaged in the
southern part of the county bringing
to light the precious ore from rich
mines. Thousands more will be con-
structing the Western Pacific road bed
through Humboldt county.
Humboldt county this year promises
to be one of the busiest counties in the
State In the coming months and the
months that follow them.

Value of srewed Fruit.

Stewed fruit of any description Is far more beneficial than the majority of fresh ones, and the despised prunes will agree with the woman who has dyspepsia, as we'll as the one with a strong, healthy stomach They may be eaten, too, as a rule, either before a meal or as a dessert with equally good results for the complexion and health. Stewed apples, pears or any of the smaller fruits are also benefit, if not too sweet. Taking figs In such quanti- ties, especially before retiring, does not agree with the average person, as the habit Is supposed to, for the concen- trated sweetness Is really bad, If the stomach Is sour or there Is a surplus of acid In the blood. Then, too, the tiny seeds In them are difficult for any but strong stomachs to really digest and asslmilate.

TORCH HIS RAZOR.
New Hampshire Man Singes Beard on Without Burning Himself.

on Without Burning Himself.
 Every man Is his own barber In Mount Vernon, N. H., as far as shaving In concerned, for there are no tonsorial parlors, says the Boston Herald. In many other New Hampshire towns men are frequently accommodated by the village postmaster, storekeeper, lock smith or carpenter, who owns razor or two and Is barber when occasion requires When Mount Vernon men want a haircut they go to Milford or some other large town.
 There Is one native of the place. a man of 56 years, who has neither a beard nor a heavy growth of hair, who does not leave town or enlist the aid of a neighbor in "chopping off' his locks. He Is his own barber and probably one of the best known characters In Mount vernon-Jarvis Smith. or "Jarve" as he Is called. "Jarve" has a unique method of removing his superfuous hair, and while 1t Is possibly original with himself, 1t is not secret. He has no patent upon 1t, and rather prefers others to follow his example If they wish to practice economy. The process can be done anywhere, In the parlor, on the street, in the field or or the wood lot, and "Jarve" does 1t when he finds 1t necessary, regardless of where he happens to be.
 Smiths method Is by singeing. After dipping piece of wood into kerosene oil and lgniting 1t he starts to work. With the burning torch In one hand and using the other for fire extinguish- er," he singes one side of his face, then the other, the upper lip and chin, and in that way rids himself of all the hair on his face, and while he crops 1t down about as close as the average man does with razor he very rarely burns him. self. The same sort of torch is used to remove his superfuous hair.
 Burn yourself" said Smith. "No. If man knows how to take his whis- kers and hair off in this way he needn't be afraid of scorching his face or head. I conceived the Idea some years ago and I would not take chances with a sharp razor. Life Is too precious and ] am not ready to die yet"

THE HARVEST MOON.
Its Brightness Enables Farmers to Gather Their Crops During Night.

Its BrfRhtness Enables Farmers to
 Gather Their Crops During Night.
 September is "the month of moon- light" Poets and impressionists at that season of the year, have, from time i'm memorial, flooded the world with har- vest-moon imagery. Pictures of moon light lovers strolling along moonlt lanes, rowing on moonlit rivers, In moonlit boats, moonlight gleanars and the harvest home have been painted over and over again In word and color, but the why and wherefore of the extra ordinary brilliance of the Queen of the Night during the period that she is known as the harvest moon" has been completely lost sight of by the great majority.
 Those who observe the ordinary as- tronomical phenomena of daily occur renee are familiar with the time varla- lions In the moons rising and settling. This Is due to the direction of the moons apparent path with reference to the horizon, of whatever place 1t is viewed from. Its distance from the earth and its daily motion eastward In right ascension.
 For the first few days In every lunar month the moon rises or sets twenty three or twenty-four minutes later for three or four successive evenings, after which the retardation varies from that time to an hour and seventeen minutes, and sometimes more
 In the latitude of New York the max imum retardation Is seventy-seyen min utes and the minimum Is twenty three.
 When the retardation Is minimum at the time of the full moon, the light Is very powerful, and farmers have often taken advantage of the practical ly all-night brllliancy for several days, to harvest their grain. September 21 being the autumnal equinox and the full moon occurring nearest that date being usually In the height of harvest time, 1t Is called the harvest-moon.
 To understand the action of the causes which produce thls phenomenon 1t Is necessary to remember that at the time of the autumnal equinox the sun sets exactly In the west, and the south ern half of the ecllptlc, or the suns apparent annual path In the sky, will then be wholly above the horizon and the northern half entirely below; the ecliptic, therefore, making the least pos sible angle with the horizon.
 In high northern latitude, as in Alas ka, British Columbia, Norway and Sweden, and the north of Scotland, the moons path at such times Is almost parallel with the horizon, and for more than a week she rises at very nearly the same time, giving the farmers am- pie light and time to garner their crops

Sore Teeth and Sore Eyes.

A Scotch surgeon recently called at. tention to the connection between an uncared for mouth with carlous teeth and a form of eye disease. He de scribes three cases, In each of which the teeth were in very bad condition. The gums were soft and spongy, bleed. ing easily, while tiny drops of pus could be pressed out from their margins. The breath had a sour smell and the com plexion was of muddy, sallow tint. In caring for these cases the first step was to purify the mouth and put the teeth into good condition. Such proce- dure, together with suitable tonics and local eye treatment, brought about a perfect recovery.-Burlington Free Press,
