DELAWARE RIVER
NOW SMALL STREAM

The Delaware river is at present, be-
cause of scanty rainfall, lower than It
has been in many years. In the lower
part of the Delaware IL is said that the
recent heavy dredging done by the
Federal government in deepening the
river channel alone saves the up river
steamboat companies from a general
tie-up The stream is shallower above
Philadelphia now than it generally is
in August. rated the driest month in
the year. The work on the channel has
progressed so that one cut of 80 feet
has been made at Perriwig, and now at
low tide there is eight feet Of water,
enough to carry the boats. Schedule
time has been kept up. and no general
interference is expected.
If the showers. which threatened
last night do not arrive shortly it is
possible that several streams viii go
dry.
AS it is, many of the smaller streams
are dry now, with their banks badly
burned from the scorching rays Of the
sun.

CROPS SADLY IN
NEED OF RAIN

From the many and anxious reports
being daily received from the farmers
as they bear their products to market,
one can readily appreciate the great
worry and anxiety they are suffering
because of the want OF refreshing show
ers which have been withheld from
this section of the State for nearly six
weeks.
The lower counties are especially suf-
fering and the total losses average
many thousands Of dollars. From Dover
down there has been no rain OF a gem
eral character for a month and a half
with the result that the loose. sandy
soil is entirely dry--even TO the banks
Of the streams which are now the low
est they have been in years. Tomatoes
have been indefinitely held up by the
want OF rain. while the other veget-
ables are of a meager, dried up size,
poor quality and very high priced.
The huckleberries are burning up
and hardly half a crop will be real
lied. A remarkable scarcity of hay Is
noticeable. and the price has grad
ually advanced to the regular winter
rates.

ions and TO secure the views of the

BLACK CANYON
LEGAL BATTLE
is COMMENCED
BIG SUIT ON FOR
OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTIES
Golden Stairs Company Contest Title
Of Nevada Humboldt Company to
Black Canyon Ground.

The initial papers in what is expect
ed to develop into hotly contested
legal battle were filed yesterday, when
W. G. Noteware, acting as agent, or
the Golden Stains Mining company,
hled the complaint in the Dis,rIct
Court, praying Tor the quieting OF title
and the setting aside OF the elaims oil
the Nevada humboldt Mining com
pany to some eff the richest mining
property in Black canyon.
The property involved IN the suit is
that portion OF the Black Canyon min
ling property on which the claims OF
the Golden Stairs company and the
Nevada Humboldt company overlap. 1t
embraces about two claims in the very
center OF the district, and includes the
Cruise lease, one of tn erichest proper
ties yet opened up.
The application tor patent by the
Humboldt Nevada company has just
been published in the Lovelock Trib-
une. They filed their papers at Carson,
but upon the contest to the patent be
! ing raised an adverse ruling on the
granting of the patent was made yes
terday in the land Office at Carson City
The Golden Stairs people were cog
infant to the claims of the Humboldt
Nevada people to certain grounds IN
Back Canyon when the purchase of the
properties was made some time ago
from Murray, Frampton and Mato-
vich, the discoveries. The purchasers
were evidently satisfied that the claims
of the Humboldt Nevada company were
not valid, and the suit has not been
Expected.
John &. Taylor, John O'Kane, w. c.
Noteware, Alex Borland, Geo. Wood
and John Murray, all of Lovelock,
compose the personnel of the Golden
Stairs company.
vada Mining company is at Rockford,

The outcome of the suit will be
watched with interest 1t involves

ground ever discovered in the county,
and the development of the property
on a scale commensurate with it's vast
wealth, depends on the settlement of
tho suit.

TIMELY ARTICLE ON The
HEALTH Of this
Community
BEST MEANS OF EXTER-
MINATING HOUSE FLY
Interesting Communication Received
Regarding the Health of the
Community.
To the Editor of the Tribune:

To the Editor of the Tribune:
Dear Sir: An unusual war has been
declared in the United States on the
common house hy, since it has been
proved concluslvely tnat they are car
riers of disease. Therefore u few
words on the hapits and the best means
OF preventing the breeding of flies, will
l. am sure, be OF interest to your read
ers. we screen our houses and keep
out great number OF lilies, but there
are always thousands waiting to come
in. Where do they come from and
what are the best means o textermi-
mating themg A single house fly lays
from I2O to lao eggs and its cnoice
OF breeang place is horse manure
Other breedlng places are termenting
or oecaying substances, such as toilets,
garbage cans, ASH pit refuse, moist
rags, paper scraps, etc. from this 1T
viii be seen that the breeding places
Of the common pest IS any decaylng OF
purifying substance.
Reasoning from cause to effect, fly
after feeding and breeding on such
material, gets in your house, alights
on your eauaoles and drlnkaples, and
you are then subject to any germ that
may be deported by the fly. The num-
Der of bacteria upon single fly has
been proven to range from $50 to g.
100000. The average for Ala flies ex-
amined at a meteorological office re-
Gently were I,250,0O0. 1t was estimat-
ed that q single fly laying l2O eggs at
"a time will produce progeny amount
ing to a sextillion at the end of the
season.
The means adopted to destroy and
prevent the fly finding a breeding
place is absolute cleanliness. Garbage
should be deposited in cans and SO COW
cred that the fly cannot gain an en-
trance. Toilets should be screened.
Horse manure especially should be re-
moved and stables disinfected. 1t is
estimated that it takes about ten days
tor fly to fully develop from the egg,
50 this gives ample time to remove our
refuse to place where it can be de-
stroyed.
Ii we expect to rid ourselves of this
germ covered pest, we must first de-
stroy its breeding place. This is on
the same principle that the Panama
canal zone was ridden of the mos
quito.
