One accident marred the trip, the
baking of one of the driving motors.
The count dropped the big machine
down into the rapidly flowing waters
of the Rhine and after repairs taking
four hours, started his motors and the
big bird-like structure rose from the
waters with perfect ease and the trip
was again resumed. The journey of

Trapper mining ground across the
Carson river from this city and will

term of their lease, which extends
over a period of eighteen months.
The lease has been let on a royalty
and work will be begun
at once.
A strike of $1,000 a ton ore Was
made on the property about ten days
ago but the company has no money
in its treasury to carry the work
along and for this reason have given
Messrs. Jackson and Duncan lease.

NEVADA PROFITS BY
FOREST RESERVES
This State Will Receive OverFour
Thousand Dollars as Share
of Gross Receipts

For the last two years Congress has
provided for permanent improvement
on National Forests, and a large part
OF the money thus made available
has been and is being used for road
and trail building. The amount is
too small, however, in comparison
with the total area of the Forests, to
make possible more than a very small
beginning. With thicker settlement
and increasing use of the Forests,
good roads will become more and
more a crying necessity.
Tie object of securing the help of
the Office Of Good Roads is to make
the work take the line that will not
merely serve temporary convenience,
but also count for most in the end,
BY building each year with reference
to a carefully worked-out plan the
danger of inuirected effort Will be es-
capped.
During he present summer an en-
gineer of the Office of Roads will go
over the ground on several of the
Forests, and draw up plans Which will
be submitted to the . orrester, and
will serve to guide subsequent work.
Where the roads planned FOR cannot
be built, rails will, so far AS possible
be made to follow the courses lstd
out, with the expectation that later
they will be converted into roads.
The roads, trails, telephone lines
and tlre Ines already constructed on
National Forests are proving OF great
value both n the work of fire protec
ton and in serving the convenience
of t he public. The further tbs Work
can be carried the greater will be the
usefulness of the Forests to the sur
rounding regions.
