RUMORS OF A BIG
COPPER DEAL IN
THE AIR

According to reports that come d-'ect
from Yerington there is evidently some
thing doing" in that camp of copper OF
which the outside is not being kept in
tie sublimest ignorance. w. II. Hurst,
manager of the Yerington Gold Mining
company's property. from which ship
ments to this market were iraugurated
during his stay at camp, has this to say
of that section.
was told while at camp" said Mr.
Hurst, that a crew of experts for the
CRANKY Consolidated Mining, Smelling
and Power company of British Columbia
had been more than twenty days making
an examination of the Ludwig and other
properties of the Nevada Douglas COM
pany. 1t was claimed that the CRANKY
Co. held IS, 900, 600 option on the prop
critics, and that If the sampling resulted
in favorable report. the deal would be
closed up. 1t is believed at Yeringtol !
that if the deal should go through, the
CRANKY company would put a smelter in
the field"
1t is also reported that c. Il. Allen
and ]. Fewson Smith of the United
States company have been making a
thorough examination of the Mason Val
ley company's mines and that the ore
bodies were thoroughly sampled at the
same Il ne. Several days were spent at
the property by these engineers, who
also spent day at the Ludwig Wheth-

of the district or whether lis engineers
have been commissioned to simply learn
something Of the tonnage aud character
of ores in the chef properties of the
district. is something the oracles OF the
district have been unable to determine.
The belief, however, is that the big COM
pauy has its eye on that field with a view
OF engaging in the copper smelling bas-
mess there; either that. or contracting
for the ores to be handled at its man
moth smelters in Shasta county, Cal.
In addition to the moves mentioned
here, it is stated that Morton Lindley,
president of the Coast ore & Chemicil
company OF Oakland, Cal, is sizing up
the district and looking for contracts
that will result in ores being supplied to
his company's Oakland teaching works
1t is claimed that he has been success tul
in securing contracts from some of the
lesser properties.
All OF these moves, coupled with the
assurance that the mines will be con-
nected by railroad from Wabuska during
the spring months, is making the Yer
ington people sit up and take notice OF
what is going on.
THE camp is exceedingly quiet just
at present." concluded Mr.. Hurst, but
that boom is headed in that direction.
there is not the slightest doubt. The
big storms of the past month or two
have played havoc with the workings of
the Truckee River Power company wnicl
supplies electric energy to practically all
OF the copper mines of the Mason dis
trict, so that the different companies
have not known what to depend upon.
Things are being pretty well straight
ened out again, however, and by the end
of the present month everything should
be running full tilt again. Just keep

LESSONS OF ARBOR DAY.

The United States department of
forestry Issues a little pamphlet con-
tanning general suggestions with refer
ence to the observance Of Arbor Day.
particularly in the schools. and many of
the suggestions are worthy of attention.
Among other suggestion are the follow
ing:
The lesson OF .Arbor Day is the use
and value of the tree in the life of the
nation. 1t should therefore be the aim
Of the teacher 50 to observe the day as
to convey this lesson clearly and I'M
pressively. The diversion of setting out
a few trees, the exercises With which the
school hours are enljvened. though all
important IN exciting the interest and
calling forth the enthusiasm Of the
scholars. may veil De regarded a. a
means to the desired end rather than a.
the end itself. The sentiments AMI emo
tions aroused On -ArDor Day pass only
100 quickly: the important thing is that
permanent results be lef--lasting i'm
pressioEs in the minds Of the children.
and. fi%ourishing in the earth. an object
lesson in a tree plantation of use or
beauty. or both combined. Isolated
trees, along the roadside. in the city
streets. or in the school yard. please the
eye and cool the air with their refresh
ing shade. But the forest Of trees,
where wood is growing to supply ma
terial for homes. for fuel, for a hundred
industries: where the forest litter is
storing the waters for streams to quench
men thirst. to irrigate their lands. to
drive their mills. to fill their rivers deep
for the vast ira ffic OF inland ~navigation:
in a word, the forest as producer and
custodian Of the necessaries of life and
happiness. is the true message of Arbor
Day. Thus Arbor Day is the time for
imparting especially to the children such
of the clearest and simplest of forest
laws as their minds are ready to receive.
But. however modest the work under
taken on Arbor Day, it is by no means
difficult to make that work tell in the
right direction by bringing home its
connection with the larger and simpler
truths of forestry. The planting of a
few trees, without reference to the com
mercial utility and protective value Of
forests, is but a small part of the work
of the day.

The Courier-Democrat OF Langdon is
inclined to be extreme in its criticism of
the Fargo Daily News-for the reason
that the 6 democratic daily has pro-
claimed itself Independent in politics.
If the CD. editor will consider the
matter calmly he Will find that the
otfense is really trivial ana that a demo-
cratic editor has as much right to claim
independence as anybody. There are
other phases. however, in which the
DAILY News shows up to poor advantage.
Its editorial personnel is new in the
state and the paper is really a weak
sister politically, yet it arrogates to
itself whatever Importance there may be
in leadership-a leadership that so far is
only a will 0 the wisp. Another matter
that is weakening to that paper is its
habit of allowing personal grievances to
creep into the editorial columns. Such
a policy might be expected in a mere
country paper like the Cando Democrat
or the Courler-Democrat, but is quite
i~nezcusable IN a metropolitan daily.
The Daily News is q fine property and
has a very promising future before it.
Its material growth has been exceptional
and We may safely expect that it will
attain liz political adultness if we only
give it time. Iowner Co. Democrat.
