PATHFINDERS ARE
TO BE WELCOMED BY
PRESIDENT DIAZ

TORREON Mex, May 31.-No
previous mud bucking, sand wading
CT stump buckling tests can compare
with the recent trials of thc faithful
little ChalmerADetroit car in the
sands of old Mexico. This car has
, already covered $4,000 miles IN en-
durance runs. The party Of the
pathfinders who are blazing the way
for the flag to flag contest for the
Wahlgreen trophy have now made
1866 miles of the way from Den
yer to the City of Mexico.
When the explorers reached Tor
reon, they had covered 4S5 miles
over the Mexican border. They are
now making the hardest and longest
lap of the trip of over 1900 miles of
Mexican desert. They stopped over
here one day to employ guides for
the remainder of the journey. The
way into Ell Paso was practically easy
going with the exception of one days
hard driving. Since then their path
has not been strewn with roses and
its significance to the members of
the party as pleasure trip has
paled on the vista of the sandy Mexi-
can desert. The pulucky little car
fought through driving sand storms,
often sinking to the hubs. The men
repeatedly had to get out of the car
to cut sage brush from the roads
which had never been traversed by
an automobile.
The trip from Denver to Ell Paso
had many pleasant features. Shoot
| ing was fine and men dropped
prairie game from the car seats. The
scenery was an added pleasure as
the mountain tops were always Wis
ible. The crew left Denver with fly
ing banners and with the good word
of the governor of the state and the
populace. The course was over level
plains which the car covered at a
twenty-mile clip.
The ovation at Denver was repeat.
ed at Ell Paso, but this ovation was
soon forgotten in the trials of the
desert. The greatest welcoming was
when the car drew up before the
Hotel Sheldon at Ell Paso. The path
finding crew was met twenty-five
miles out by number of other cars.
The crew was entertained handsome
ly and a dinner was given them at
the Country club by enthusiastic mot
orists.
The thrilling experiences of the
trip began after the car left Ell Paso.

the car stuck hopelessly in the des-
ert sands and the block and tackle,
which the car carried for emergency
purposes, was unable to pull the car
out. Being forty-six miles from the
railroad, it was necessary for them
to camp there and two of the men
walked back to the railroad, a dis
tance of over forty-six miles, to
catch Mexican Central train into Ell
Paso.
This arduous feat was accomplish
ed by w. E. McCarton of Denver and
James Howard, a guide from FL
Paso. William Knipper and F. Ed.
Spooner, whom they left with the
car, were in even worse straits than
those who had gone for assistance.
They lived two days on cold pea
soup and coffee made from rusty
water from the radiator. Every other
supply was gone.
When the relief party, which Nc
Carton and Howard sent out from
Ell Paso, arrived they were unable to
get the car out and had to return for
additional appliances. The car was
finally extricated and the men went
back to Ell Paso for a days rest.
However, it was a week before the

The little car carrying the flags OF
two countries, and with its bedrag-

curiosity and comment among the

THREE COMPANIES FIGHTING
FOR RICH FRACTION IN THE
GREAT PIONEER DISTRICT

GOLDFIELD, May 31.-Who is it,
any how, who owns big slice of the
famous Conservative claim at Pho
neer, where the rich ore is being
taken out?
Does the ground belong to the
Gold Hills Mining company, through
prior location, or does it belong to
the Indiana-Nevada Mining company,
through prior location; or does the
Valley View Mining company own it?
Orwell, there's a delightful mix-up
on for possession of the richest
ground in that part of the country.
Recently the Gold Hills Mining
company, of which George Wingfield
and D. R. G. Brown, the Aspen mil
lionaire, are the heaviest owners,
filed suit here asking the Indiana
Nevada Mining company to get off
the ground and stay off. Now the
Inn na-Nevada company comes back
anS says the Gold Hills concern
doesn't even own the land. And
what's more, the Valley View people
may come through with another suit
and tell both the others to keep their
hands off. 1t promises to- be a pretty
fight for possession of the richest
acreage thus far found on the Con-
sentative claim.
This latest feature of the contro-
versy was brought to head yester-
day morning, when Attorneys S. L.
Carpenter and Rufus G. Thayer, rep
resenting the Indiana-Nevada COM
pany, filed an action in adverse at

NINE DEAL MADE IN MONO.

From good authority we are able
to state that a lease and bond has
been given on the Golden Gate prop
erty in Antelope valley in Mono
county and that active work will be
resumed on the first of August. The
Golden Gate property will produce
dividends for years to come when
properly developed and equipped.
The mine will be worked by a long
tunnel and mill to be run by water
power will be built at the mouth of
the tunnel. The lodges are large and
free milling.-Carson News.

Tonopah, the object of which is to
have it declared the sole owner of
6.835 acres in the heart of the rich
est section at Pioneer. The 6.S35
acres represent the exact territory in
conflict. Boiled down to ordinary
language, the complaint says that the
lndiana-Nevada company claims the
acreage named as overlapping por-
tions of both the Indiana No. 1 and
the Indiana No. 2 claims, both own
ed by the same corporation. The
big strike was made through the
Original Pioneer shaft on the Bime-
tallic No. claim, a drift to the west
getting the rich ore across the line,
admittedly off the Bimetallic claim.
Now, whether the strike was made in
the Conservative or the Indiana, is
the question. In other words, which
has title to the $685. acres. the Con-
sentative owned by the Gold Hills
people, or the Indiana-Nevada COM
pany, controlling both the Indiana
claims; Billy Milliken is one of the
heaviest owners of the Indiana
claims.
In the ejectment case brought by
the Gold Hills company against the
1ndiana-Nevada company, the latter
yesterday filed motion to the eff
feet that on June its attorneys will
ask for change of venue to Nye
county, in which the property in dis
pute is located.

Te Fatten Fowls.

A good method for fattening fowls
is given by a reader: Shue the fowls
up in a dark place, with just enough
light for them to see to eat, and sup
ply them well with grit and water.
Corn meal, ground oats, cracked wheat
and shorts mixed in equal portions
should be fed. Feed them as often
during the day as they will clean up
the food, and bear in mind the impor-
lance of "stufing" them. They should
be fed after dark every evening. as
well as very early each morning. Half
a dozen fowls together will fatten more
rapidly than a large number, and II II
is practical to pen them off, six to q
pen is the right number. Give no greer
stuff to these fowls, but rations Of
cooked potatoes, rice, corn bread
cracked corn and whole wheat may bC
given. Fowls crowded and stuffed IL
This way should be in fine condition IL
three weeks.

The COW likes variety of food, and
It pays to give it to her. For the slim
ulation Of the appetite and aid in d.
gestion, some Of her feeds should be
green and succulent, such as roots and
silage for winter. Some linseed meal
should be given at frequent intervals.
1t Is not only a rich feed, but an ex-
ceilent regulator of the digestive or
gans. Glover and alfalfa hay are both
rich In milk-forming elements, and give
bulk to the ration. Some corn should
be given daily, especially through the
cold months, as cows greatly relish the
grain, and it helps in forming butter
rat and In producing animal fat Give
the cows about all they will eat vi
clean of each feed, but shift changes
often, not only the kinds, but the
amounts Of each kind. at different
times. This change gives a stimulat
ing variety to feeds, and the cew,
thrive and produce on it.

laws governing the ownership Of

All real estate is defined and circum-

Inc States are divided into counties,
and the counties subdiyided into town

INTO quarter sections with appropriate
descriptions In the conveyance of the

used In description Of real estate, and

Frozen Chinese pork is to be import
ed into England, which recalls &c the
mind of writer in the London Chron-
icle the fact that the frozen meat trade
is nearly a century old On Jan. 80,
1916, three Eskimos arrived at Har-
WITCH, England, by the packet from
Gothenburg, bringing five sledges pack
ed with ptarmigan, blackjack and 9th
er game, frozen and packed in alright
cases. The enterprising Northerners
had to pay over $3.50 duty on the con-
signment and $50 for carriage from
Harwieh to London; but, as the game
was in excellent condition, it found a
ready sale and brought high prices.
The Eskimos did so well out of the
speculation that they remained in Eng
land for several months, spending their
profits in royal fashion; but, despite
the success Of the experiment, it does
not appear to have been repeated.

HOW to Load a Wagon.

1t is generally believed that the load
pulls easier if put well forward on the
wagon. But this is not so on the oFti
nary wagon, where the hind wheels are
larger than the front ones. Should the
wheels be equal in size, the load should
be equally distributed. If the trucks
are so low down that the horses have an
upward pull on the load, then it would
be all right to put the load well for
ward. The load should be proportional
to the surface contact of the wheels
A large wheel sinks less than small
one; therefore, the load should b'
heaviest on the hind wheels. Distrib
ute the weight so that no one vince
or no one side is carrying the greater
share, lest it make the draft excessive
for the tonnage carried.
