The Waste Matter of The World
Feeds the World.

The sewage of a city will feed
that city, let it be a city of a
1000, or of 100000 inhabitants.
That would make no difference.
Ihe wastage of one man will, if
applied to the soil, give him all
the bread, meat, vegetables, fruits
clothes, shoes, shelter, health and
exercise, that he needs, and much
more In the way Of luxuries, and
leave the land in a better condi-
tlOn after he dies than it WIS
before he got it. His offspring
would have something to thank
him for. This is true economy.

BE A PRODUCER

Hennessey, Murphy and Sweeney,
lessees on the main workings of the
Booth, are working two shifts and
the indications are that they will join
the list of shippers in the near future.
The showing in the bottom, or 400
foot level, is excellent. What is
known as the Frisco lease, on the
south end of the property, has been
surrendered to the company Cold
field Tribune.
In view of the opinion of all Gold
field people as to the Booth, and the
amount of work being done on this
property, its location, and everything
combined, it will. be seen that the re-
cent rapid fluctuations Of this stock
are due to manipulation, certain in
terests striving to get control of this
property on a down market. In thu
past three days the stock has taken q
sudden drop of from 33 cents to rs
cents, this utterly unwarranted under
the existing conditions. Those whc
| own Booth stock should hold on to
it, and when it can be bought at %
cents-buy. Watch it climb to the
dollar mark.

MAY NOT RACE
AUTOS ON The
MILLER LAKE

There's a great big hitch coming
up in the matter of using Miller or
Auto lake for automobile racing this
coming spring. For the time beings
those behind the enterprise, including
Tex Richard, Walter C. Stone and a
dozen others, are entirely at sea, says
the Goldfield Tribune.
This dry lake has bed that is
ideal for racing purposes, and a
course was laid out some weeks ago.
The initial meet of the Goldfield auto.
lists was success from every stand
point, and plans have been under way
for some time for Barney Oldfleld and
other national celebrities to come
here this spring and race on what APP
pears to be an area matchless for the
purpose.
Yesterday, however, Mr.. Richard
received a letter from H. N. Farnam,
representing Mrs. Bessie Miller, who
says that she located two years ago
nearly the whole of Miller lake,
eighteen miles northeast of the city.
The ground has been surveyed, says
Mr.. Farnam, the stakes set, location
work and assessment work done for
the year, and location certificates
filed.
Mrs. Miller's attorney asserts that
her stakes have been removed and
thrown to one side of the lake; also,
that the bed will be used as a big
racing ground this spring. If arrange
ments are not made with her in ad-
vance for the use of the bed of the
lake, Mrs. Miller says she will be
forced to resort to legal remedy to
prevent an intrusion upon her alleg-
ed rights. She says she is willing
however, to grant terms for period
of from one to five years, but that
the racers must first come to- hel
agreement. Concluding, she says:
Il might add that discoveries have
been made of sufficient placer, boil
gold and platinum, to justify the
working of every 160-acre group o
locations, and that DR.. David t. Da,
of the geological department a
Washington has made surveys of tn,
same, and that assays have beel
1 Il I,
that there can be no question what
ever as to her vested rights in and t,
the ground referred to-"
Richard was asked last night abou
the complication, but said simp1
that he knew of no placer ground .ol
the lake and that, moreover, Mrs
Miller,s stakes had not been remove,
so far as he knew.

IT'S A GOOD
lie, At LEAST

The Reno Reveille is authority 70.
the following:
Jimmie Clark, assemblyman-elect
from this county and secretary of the
Reno Gun club, has lost valuable
Llewellyn setter in rather extraor-
binary way
While out shooting last Sunday,
Jimmie noticed the dog was behaving
peculiarly, and upon his return to
Reno made inquiry of T. F. Briggs,
who is something of an amateur vet
Urinary, as to what had best be done
for the animal
Biggs, after studying the setter an ]
the situation for several minutes, ad-
vised that the animal be given a
dozen seidlitz powders separately
and then a bucket of water. Biggs
did SO that night just before retiring
and turned the dog into the back
yard.
Hearing loud report in the bach
yard about daybreak, he arose and
upon making investigation, found tn.
fore part of the dogs body lying neal
the back door, with a string of foam
about three yards long, running back
ward from his mouth. The remain
der of the carcass was up against thu
fence twenty feet away. The dog
countenance, even in death, showe'
traces of suffering.
After enduring the internal effer
vescence of dozen seidlitz powder
for five hours, the creatuRs ha,

It's officials had been informed by
"a eeologist of the United States sur

would be found in a certain STRAIT

about 5000 feet. This geologist
had made a study OF the surface

This water supply fills need
(which is SO urgent that If any
shing should happen to destroy this
