Increased Forcs of Miners.

Messrs. Boak and Mcintosh, who
recently purchased the Mountain
View and Big Twenty mining proper
ties, just east of Yerington, put
twenty more miners to work on the
property this week. They are ex
tending the tunnel run on the Noun.
tain View by the former owners and
crosscutting at different points, also
trenching the ground on both claims.
The new owners are very much pleas
ed with their investment as the ground
is showing up exceedingly we'll in
many places. and there are indica-
tions that the property will prove to
be one of the biggest and richest
within the old Reservation lines
There are also a number of claims ad
joining the property that will be
heard of before long.

Piute Indian All0tments Carson
Truckee Region are Cancelled.

An area of approximately 28,320
acres embraced in the Truckee-C Car
son irrigation project, and formerly
allotted to Il 9 Piute Indians, has been
restored to the public domain by Sec
retary Garfield, who has Cancelled the
Indian allotments. This land COM
prises some of the most fertile and
valuable in the great irrigation plo-
ject, and is subject to entry in farms
of not more than eighty acres each,
under the terms of the Reclamation
Act. The present canal systems and
proposed extensions cover the entire
area, and everything is in readiness
for the prospective home-makers to
make their filings at once.
A very desirable class of farmers
is now taking up claims on this pro-
ject, and the outlook is extremely
favorable for the early development
of all the irrigable lands in Carson
Sink Valley.
The transformation already appar.
ent in the desert valley. so long re-
garded as one of the most desolate
spots on our continent, is little less
than marvellous. A new railroad has
been built through the center of the
valley, towns are springing un and
the sagebrush plain is dotted with
the homes of new settlers. The town
of Fallon is the center of the pro-
ject, which one year ago had only
sixteen inhabitants, has today a pop
ulation of more than 1000. and is
growing rapidly. There is great ac-
tivity in the nearby mining camps,
and rich strikes are frequent. confirm.
ing the prediction that the agricul-
tural lands will soon be surrounded
by prosperous and permanent minin &
camps, which will afford market for
all the valleys products.
The government will reserve about
seven sections of land under the can
ais which will be allotted to the men,
bers of the Piute tribe in farms of
ten acres each as soon as Congress
provides funds for the necessary
water rights.

FIND SUBSTITUTE FOR WATER
Animals In Southern Country uss
Rock that Contains Sixty per
Cent Moisture.

According to reports from Green.
water, another prank of nature has
been discovered in the Death Valley
country, In which she has provided
in her own way substitute for wat
er in that desolate region where go
many have perished from thirst.
If the sufferers had only known as
much as the animals which are gov
erned by instinct, it is hardly possible
that no lives would have ever been
lost in that portion of the desert.
But men did not know how to look
for it, and they lost their lives while
their animals continued to live.
The story OF the discovery OF ma
ture's new kind of water, which is In
condensed form, is told by the Green.
water Times as follows:
Seven miles from Greenwater In u
westerly direction has been discover
ed peculiar substance owing to the
fact that it contains 60 per cont
moisture. 1t is very white forma-
tion, much resembling lime. and what
is called sulphide Of sulphur. but the
fact is that it is an unknown mater
ial which even the chemists of this
camp have passed up.
1t was first found by following u
well-beaten path by wild sheep and
other four-footed animals, and there
was such mystery about il that it
caused a critical investigation. G.
W. Patricks, more curious than any,
resorted TO every known device to
determine its worto. He had trailed
his burro to this place and found him
feasting on its substance, and he took
with him to camp some OF il. and in
testing 1t by fire he learned that the
day, white lime.like substance con-
tanned 60 per cent moisture and it
was this material supposedly where
the wild animals had quenched their
thirst and where they had been sup
piled with a substitute for water in
the absence of any liquid form in
that forbidden part Of the desert.

Spring VALLEY MINES
SH0WINGGOOD VALUES
Frank Egenhoff Developing Large
Body Ore At Head Of Canyon.
Messrs. Violet, Webb, Withycombe
Beeson and Jim Hunter Buy
South Extension Bonanza
King.

We are in receipt of more good
news from Spring Valley this week.
Frank Egenhoff has very promising
property at the head Of the Valley
and this is what he has accomplished
by quiet persistent work on it.
He has run tunnel 100 feet along
the hanging wall, then cross-cut the
vein l8 feet, showing free gold val
ues the entire width.
In this large vein the hanging and
foot walls are we'll defined, with a
gouge streak on each wall. This
vein lies between two large Rhyolite
dykes, the foot wall dyke having
Istreaks of ore ranging from six inches
to two feet in width and carrying
values from $35 to 1900 in free gold.
In the 100 foot tunnel on the main
vein, every foot prospected good
string of colors in the pan and Mr..
Egenhoff is fully justified, We think in
his belief that he has the making of a
big mine in this property.
THE BONANZA KING EXTENSION.
Recently Charley Violet. Geo Webb
Jim Hunter and Beeson & Withycombe
have purchased the South Extension
of the Bonanza King from W. E.
Castle. This claim adjoins the Bonan-
20 King on the south and west and the
trend of the large vein struck in that
mine is directly into this ground.
From presept indications the purchas-
ers of this claim have secured good
property.

AMERICAN NICKEL
MAKES Big STRIKE
Cuts Ledge Twenty-Five Feet On -Four
Hundred Level.
Superintendent Bell Greatly Excited
Over Strike. Adjoining Ground
Also Looks Good.

Superintendent Charles Bell of the
American Nickel company came in
from that camp Saturday, bringing
with him specimens of the latest
strike in that mine. The samples
showed some of the-fnest nickel ore
yet taken from this wonderfully rich
mine and the large body of this ore
being developed, make this the most
important strike yet made on the
property.
This ore is encountered in cross
cut which is being run from the in
cline shaft at about the 4OO-foot
level. When Superintendent Bell
came in from the mine Saturday they
had cut twenty-five feet into this
ledge and had not yet reached the
other wall. Samples of the ore have
been sent to the eastern Office and a
telegram was sent to New York, tel
ling of the Big Strike.
At present the main tunnel is down
over six hundred feet and some re-
pairs are being made on the pumps,
to handle the flow of water. While
this is being done they were cross
cutting on The 400-foot level and ran
into this body of ore.

en- days the citizens of Lovelock
hould feel glad that we have even
s much of fire fighting apparatus as
We have. If it had not been for our
water system, Sundays FIRE would have
'pread to the buildings to the south
md west and to the entire lumber
ward. 1t might have gotten started
n the hay-yards OF the Lovelock
stables across the street and taken
hat entire block. We believe that
the one stream of water from that
line Of hose Sunday afternoon, saved
enough property to nearly pay for
The cost of the entire system. But
more hose is needed. If fire had
broken out in some other part of
town Sunday afternoon the depart
ment would have been powerless to
light it. At least double the present
amount of hose is neeeed--we be-
lieve there is now 400 feet. During
the fire Senator 0Kane, Senator Pitt
]. A. Mcintosh and others volunteer.
ed various sums for buying further
equipment. A subscription list for
this purpose is being circulated and,
is published on 9th page this issue Of
the TRIBUNE. Hooks. ladders, axes,
caps and slickers for the hosemen
are also needed, but .he hose is the
most important.
The Volunteer department needs
drill. A form of organization has
been effected but the boys have had
no drills. The two fires of the past
ten days have given them about the
only experience since the system
was installed. They should have re.
gular drills and then when a fire does
come there will be less of con fusion
and disorder.
The experience Sunday afternoon
demonstrated the wis ON Of prohib-
iting the storing of explosives in the
town limits. The explosion Sunday
afternoon was from caps and may
have been some of the barrels of oil
stored there. Tom Ebert, knowing
that a small box of powder was in
the building, heroically rushed into
the smoke and heat and carried it
out. The explosion of caps occurred
soon after and just as the firemen
we're advancing with the hose Had
there been any powder stored there.
the loss of life would have been far
greater than that of a poor dumb
animal. So if you have to wait for
your giant powder and other explo-
sives to be brought from a storage
house out of town, don't kicre but

When Daily had acquired the proper
ties surrounding the Anaconda, he
opened up the Butte hill. One must

Fortunes were made and spent in u
day. An army of men descended into
the mines daily to strip them OF their
treasure, huge forests were deSpolled
of their timber to stull and shore up
the excavations and protect the earth
above for these copper veins are often
100 feet wide. Immense smokestachs
began to yomlt their clouds of smudge
from scores Of furnaces scattered over
the hill; the moan and clank Of huge
pumps could be heard In the depths
forcing the water to the surface; the
pound OF hammers and the steady inn
pact Of drills sounded everywhere,
while the earth trembled and beloved
with distant underground explosions
Great hollows. like cathedral naves,
were scooped out where the treasure
had lain in the rock ribbed earth
Horses and mules were bllndfolded
and lowered int1 the mines where
their hides, like the gray boards OF the
old miners, soon took on the grednisll
