RESERVOIR FOR cURRANT CREEK
The Cazier Brothers Will Build
Large Dam to Conserve
Water for Irrigation

Owen Cazier. a prominent raacher Of
Currant Greek, Nye County. about rs
miles southeast of Eureka. arrived here
Tuesday on his way to Reno and Car
son on business with the State and
United States Land Offices.
The Cazier Brothers. Of which COM
pany he is a member. own a large acre
age of valuable farming land and or
chards near the head waters of Currant
Creek, that section being famous for the
fine apples and other delicious fruits
raised in that valley.
His company coutemplates building a
dam above its present holdings to con-
serve the waste waters now available.
AS soon as this dam is completed, which
will cost approximately $1,000 or $500.
a number of acres of fine farming land
car be reclaimed that are now useless
through lack of irrigation facilities. His
mission to the western part of the
State is therefore for the purpose of per-
fecting the necessary preliminary ar
rangements before beginning the con-
struc,ion of the proposed reservoir.
Being informed that a report reached
Eureka last Summer that the fruit crop
there that season was a failure, owing
to the late frosts. Mr.. Cazier said:
Eyes. the late frosts did considerable
damage to all the orchards on the
Greek with the exception of ours, the
yield from which was fully up to the
average. We escaped the ravages of
Jack Frost's visit to that section and
were glad of it.
Gan the orchards along Currant
Greek at present, however, ars looking
fine, aud if no severe late frosts occur
the yield should be far above the nor.
NAL. Ely and surrounding camps fur
nish a good market for the disposition
of not only tue fruits raised in our Sec
ton, but also hay, grain and vegetables.
"From what l hear at Ely and around
my home country the building of the
proposed railroad from Goldfed to Ely
is an assured fact, the beginning Of the
work of construction on which will be
commenced at no distant date. The
completion OF this road will greatly in.
crease the business of the farmers not
only of Currant Greek, but Duckwater
as well, as it will open up a number oil
mining districts now lying dormant on
account of lack of transportation facili
ties. IL is quite likely a branch from
the main line will be extended to Eu,

of low-grade f~iuxing ores | understand
"a be shipped from here at a profit, to
the $40. 600, 900 smelter now nearing
completion at McGill, Is miles east of
Ely.
1.-The people over my way believe
there is going to be great things doing
in a business way after awhile. but il
is going to take a little time to get mat.
tiers in action. No one at all familiar
with present mineral conditions in that
section has the least doubt of its future
prosperity"

Price of Sugar to Be Boosted

Better buy a dollars worth of sugar,
quick. and put it in the safe. The price
is going up. Nobody knows how high,
but it is bound to rise. The visible
supply of sugar for the world is 0,050.-
600 tons short and the consequences OF
this must be a heavy rise in the price.
Cosmo Morgan, the California repre-
sentative of the Sugar Trust, admits
that prices are sure to go up. Here is
a bunch for the house wife who contem-
plates preserving anything, including
her temper.

Former Eurekan Loses Hotel Fight

E. r. Clute, manager Of the Pacific
Grand Hotel and Investment Company
at San Francisco, whose troubles with
the corporation have ranged from
legal battles to open warfare in the
corridors of the hotel. Wednesday.

Seawell, was beaten in his attempt to
retain his position as manager OF the
hotel and treasurer Of the company.
Judge Seawell holds that the meeting
of the directors, at which Clnte was re-

valid one and therefore the act Of the
directors in removing him was valid.

TRIP THROUGH LANDER COUNTY
Business Conditions at Austin
Improving and Increased Min
ing Activity Noticed

Deputy State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction A. b. Lightfoot returned
Wednesday from Lander, County. where
he has spent the past two weeks in
specting schools. He speaks in glowing
terms of the generous hospitality Of the
people of that section of Nevada, and
says that that region is enjoying a
larger degree of increased activity than
any other part of the State he has wis.,
tied this Spring.
Austin is rapidly picking mp, and is
doing a good deal toward improving the
appearance Of the town. There is a
fine new hotel which was opened re-
Gently, and two other hotels in town,
but with all these accommodations for
keeping transients, Mr.. Lightfoot was
unable to get aroom at a hotel one night
while there. Many prospectors are
working in the mountains about Austin.
and the camp presents a much more
lively appearance than it did on any of
his former Visits.
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction
among the ranchers because of the for
est reserve recently set apart by the
Government. IL will about put the
small stock raisers out Of business If
the present pasturage charges are con-
tinued, aud it is now next to impossible
to get timber for any purpose. 1t is
expected hat 800 rangers will be put
in charge of the reserve as soon as a
sufficient number of qualified men can
be had for that purpose.
In speaking of the schools, Mr.. Light
foot states that those visited are in
about the same condition as has been
seen in other parts of the State. The
chief criticism is to be made against the
lack of interest taken by parents. II :he
teachers were required to return all ex.
animation papers to the children for
further inspection by the parents, and an
occasional test in the school work were
made at home, the work of the schools
would be lone more thoroughly than it
is under present conditions. The schools
are too small to furnish enough compe-
tition to act as a stimulus for good work,
so ii Is necessary to secure interest by
other means.
The people every where are deeply in.
terested in everything that tends to-
word a return of prosperity for Eureka.
and are watching the reports closely
hoping to see an awakening of
thing like the old time activity in this
region. Mining men are taking an I'M
usual interest in the mines at Austin,
and it is expected that the mill there
will soon be running, and at least n
of the old mines reopened. These men
speak very favorably of both Austin
and Eureka. and seem to feel that in
these camps lies the real mineral wealth
of the State to a larger extent than In
any of the new camps. They have
passed Rawhide and Gold Circle by for
something which has a more suostan-
tial reputation and history.
MI. Lightfoot, accompanied by his
wife, left Sunday morning to visit the
schools of White Pine County.

a big central bank when the steel trust
has $50. COn00o for use in Wall street
in emergency and is adding thereto at
the rate of $25.OuO,OOO a year or there
aboutS?
The bookkeeping of the big steel trust
is one of the marvelS of the age In the
handling of ore from the mine to the
market for the finished product il has TO
shift about considerably among the sub
sdiary companies of the great holding
corporation, and every time one of these
branch concerns takes it over the stuff
appears as an original entry. The result
is that the gross volume of business han
died appears in the final figures very much
larger than it really is. For instance. the
gross volume of business handled by the
steel trust in 1907 is given officially as
$751;, 100000 at a net profit of S161.o0.OO,
or about 20 per cent. In point of fact the
gross did not exceed $500. 0Oo. 900. on which
there was a profit of about 40 per cent.
This conclusion proves out very easily and
very simply. The trust produced 10.4p.OU
tons. OF this about 20 per cent was steel
rails. which went out on a basis of SIS
per ton. About % per cent of the output
was in shapes and plates. which sold at
an average of So per ton: wire and nails
made up another 20 per cent and this went
out at about $40 ton. The remaining
~ per cent was sold al prices ranging
from $40 per ton to $40 per ton, most of
it nearer $40 than $50. The total output
of 10 10000 tons was sold at an average
of SIS to $40 per ton. instead of SIS per
