A MAN CAN GET A BRIDE BE-
TWEEN HIS SALAD AND ENTREE.

Denver has a restaurant where man
can win bride between the salad and
the entree. 1t is near the Denver court
house, whose statesmen say the proprie
tress knows how to make good meal
as we'll as a match. In order to get So
ciety into action, she endeavored to in
sert the following delicious ad. in the
newspapers. But the managers wiggled
and refused. Here it is, and the adj
writer for the Caliph Haroun el Raschid
could not have done better:
Wives furnished for eligible gentle
men without delay. Why waste time in
writing and exchanging Photographic
Our combination cafe and marriage bu-
reau saves time and brokers commits
sions. Meet your wife at the dinner
table. Get something good to eat and
get acquainted at the same time. You'd
have to eat somewhere anyhow. Let us
know by phone the kind you prefer, and
we will do the rest. Cozy corners, soft
lights and dreamy music without extra
charge. Finest la carte service in the
city. Get in now while the good ones
last. You'll never be any younger.
The pousse cafe courtship is not a bad
idea. 1t might not produce as stalwart
a country vote as the old oaken bucket
plan.

STRIKE BROMIDE SILVER

A strike of rich bromide silver ore was
made last week near Cottonwood Creek,
near the old Blanchard mine, by H. S.
Morgan and NJ M Ariche. The strike
has created quite an excitement in that
section. There are two parallel ledges
in each of which there is 16 to 18 inch
vein of very rich ore running up in the
hundreds of dollars. Messrs. Shores,
Knudson and Gambel have located six
claims adjoining the new strike and
have some excellent showings on the
surface. Prospectors are flocking to the
new find and by this time the ground
has probably been located for miles
around the original strike.

LOTUS & DAVIS
BUY PROPERTY

A mining sale of FIVE copper claims
took place here this week, LOTUS and
Davis, the well known operators of
Goldfeld taking over the property Of
w. N. Wood and associates. This prop
erty is located about eight miles east of
Yerington and it is understood that the
price paid for it, including some other
locations adjoining, is S12, 600 There
are come excellent copper showings on
the Avalanche group, formerly the Wood
property, and the new owners are going
to do some active development work on
the ground. The property was taken
over after it had been carefully inspected
by G. S. Thomas, expert for the LOTUS
and Davis people, and Mr.. Davis paid
the camp visit this week to look at the
property himself. Lotus and Davis have
been phenomenally successful in their
operations in the southern country and
are hustling people. They will soon
make a mine out of their new posses
sions or prove that there is no mine
there. The TIMES is glad to see them
enter the Yerington district, as we are
advised that they have other things in
view in this vicinity.

ACTIVITY ON
EAST WALKER

There is much activity in the East
Walker section these days. Chas. G.
Schneider was in from that district this
week He, with F. w. Waite. las. Mel
Son, Rosco Ray and Willard and Yates.
the two latter of Chicago, located some
nice looking claims about twelve miles
from the Charlebois ranch about a wear
ago. They are now starting to develop
this property and are driving a tunnel
Tor this purpose. The ledge has not vet
been crOsscut and it is not known what
its width may be- The ore gives assay
values of S11.85 per ton in gold and
silver and about one and three-quarter
per cent copper. Mr.. Yates was out
from Chicago recently and inspected the
property, returning to his home last
week. A company is to be organized to
develop the ground held by these people
and it is reported that there are splendid
indications for copper in the claims
At Eugene Copper Gulch, on old
Reservation ground, Judge Terrell and
the Wilson Bros, the former one of the
early Goldfeld 1easers, have some prom
ising claims. This ground lies over the
summit from the Schreiber property,
and tunnel $50 feet in length is all in
ore, showing all immense ledge. This
ore gives an average assay according to
report of S5S.65 per ton in gold silver
and copper. There is no sign of wall
i'll the tunnel yet, so it is not known
how wide the ledge may be- Develop
ment work is being actively prosecuted.

water COMPANY
LETS CONTRACTS

The National Wood Pipe Company, of
San Francisco, has been given the con-
tract to supply the pipe for the Yering-
ton Water Works. AT the meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Yerington
Water Company held last Tuesday, three
and half miles of pipe were ordered
and the directors say they expect to in
crease the order to FIVE miles within a
few weeks. The redwood pipe is con-
sidered more lasting in our alkaline soils
than the Oregon pine pipe would be
though the latter costs less.
The pipe ordered is specially strength
ened by wire wrapping to stand the
pressure of ESQ feet head. This would
be about 108 lbs pressure to the square
inch. The fire pressure for the city will
be 80 pounds to the square inch and the
ordinary service pressure from Is lbs to
IS lbs to the square inch.
The Board of Directors at the same
meeting let the contract for the pump
ing machinery to the G. w. Price Pump
Co., of San Francisco. There will be
two pumps which can be used singly or
coupled SO as to double the quantity of
water for the ordinary service or double
the pressure for fire service. They will
be run by 30-h. p. motor with power
obtained from the Truckee General Elec-
trio Co. and as reserve in the event
the electric power is shut off there will
be 40-h. p. Callahan Gasoline Engine
to run the pumps.

FORCE INCREASED

Messrs. Boak and Mcintosh, who re-
Gently purchased the Mountain View and
Big Twenty mining properties, just east
of Yerington, put twenty more miners
to work on the property this week. They
are extending the tunnel run on the
Mountain View by the former owners
and crosscutting at differ points, also
trenching the ground on both claims.
The 'lew owners are very much pleased
with their investment as the ground is
showing up exceedingly well in many
places, and there are indications that the
property will prove to be one of the big
gest and richest within the old Reserva-
ton lines. There are also a number OF
claims adjoining the property that will
be heard of before long

WALKER RANCE co

The Walker Range Mining Company
which has some promising property in
the district about 40 miles south of Yer
ington, is now developing its property
wife hattering results This company
has five claims on Queen Mountain, two
of which show five-foot ledge which
can be traced 5000 feet on the surface,
and from which the ore assays $50 in
gold and $40 in silver. On the other
three claims there is three-foot ledge
which gives assays from $40 to $S4 in
gold. A shaft is being sunk on one of
these claims and tunnel is being run
the five-foot ledge. 1t is now in on the
ledge 80 feet. A lower tunnel is coil
templated which will crosscut the ledge
at a depth of 500 feet from the surface.

To Pusteurize Milk.

Pasteurizing milk is a very simple
process, the operator to be careful of
the temperature, however, which is
very important. When milk Is boiled
the natural flavor is destroyed, and
some persons object to It. Milk is also
injured to a certain extent by boiling.
To Pastuerize milk, procure long
necked bottle, which must be scrupu-
lousy clean; pour in the milk and plug
the tops with cotton wool, which ex-
cludes all germs. Place the bottles In
q deep pan or other vessel and heat to
a temperature of 15S degrees, using a
thermometer If the temperature reach
es 100 degrees the milk will have the
odor Of being boiled. Keep the milk
heated for half an hour. The cot
ton shoppers need not be removed un-
til the milk is desired for use. The
bottles containing the milk may be
placed In a refrigerator or some cool
receptacle Milk so prepared can be
kept for two or three days. To sterilize
milk 1t must be boiled, hence Pasteu-
rlzation is a different process.

Fruit from Seed.

1t rs doubtful if there is any kind of
fruit that will come strictly true to va
riety when grown from seed, as there
is tendency to deviate from the orig
inal One may secure something supe-
rior or the fruit may revert back to
some undesirable kind. 1t is slow
and uncertain process. Chestnuts may
be grated when l year old. The nuts
are usually placed in the ground in
rows, 6 inches deep, early in the spring
or late In the fall. killing over them II
in the fall, and uncovering In the
spring. They are very unreliable in
terminating and prefer sandy loan.
The European varieties are larger than
the native. The native chestnuts vary
greatly, no two trees producing nuts
exactly alike in size, flavor, etc. The
foreign varieties are grated on the
American stocks. Trees grown from
American nuts can not be depended
upon for quality Of product.

Composition Of Crops.

A bulletin Of the Minnesota Experr
ment Station discusses the composition
and characteristics OF the more common
farm crops, as alfalfa, clover, peas,
rape, corn fodder, timothy, mlllet, etc.
In connection with the composition
Of some Of the crops the protein con-
tent Of the seed Is considered. In the
case of clover, alfalfa, peas, beans and
rape two distinct types of seed are
shown to recur, one of high and the
other Of low protein content. and the
relationship Of the physical character
istics Of the seeds to the chemical COM
position Is noted. The larger protein
content Of the seed Is considered as a
possible factor In the production of for
age crops of high nutritive value. The
quality Of the forage in livestock feed
ing Is of great Importance, because by
the use Of more concentrated nitroge-
nous forage rations can be prepared
requiring smaller amounts Of grains
and mflled products. The result Is
material financial saving of stock.

Shredded stovcr.

For winter feeding OF stock animals
this makes one of the finest feeds on
the farm. The modern husklng and
shreddlng machinery does excellent
work, and It's man-eatlng procllvltles
have been largely eliminated. An or
binary threshlng machine can be made
to do good shreddlng. but the grain Is
not left In the best condition. The
greatest drawback In the use OF both
husker and thresher is that they re-
qulre large force Of men and teams,
hence the work Is quite expensive.
Perhaps the cheapest corn husking Is
done with the little old husking peg.
But IT Is almost impossible to feed long
slower without considerable waste, and
the refuse stalks are nuisance when
It comes to handling the manure. These
difficulties may be overcome by running
the handhusked stover through COM
mon cutter and shredder. This work
can usually be done without employing
much, If any outside help. In case ev-
erything Is hired, the cost Of the work,
added to that Of hand-husking and put
ting Of the corn and slower In crib and
NOW or stack may equal or even exceed
the expense Of machine husking and
This is a point for each to
decide from his own tandpolnt-Agri-

The royal standard, streaming above

through an opening In the trees. The
Americans, resting midway of their
walk through Windsor Park, fell nat
urally as they watched it into casual
chat concerning the royal family, whose
presence it indicated. Presently a.
young girl laughed and addressed an
other:

such and such contingencies he would
succeed to such and such throne
