The Importance of this irrigation
project cannot be underestimate.
Thousands of acres of land are lying
sterile" for the lack of water that can
be supplied when the reservoir is built.
Other thousands of acres, now under
cultivation, will be doubled in produc-

water. The reservoir in itself will add
millions to the value of the Lovelocll
lands, already cultivated, besides re-
claiming and making valuable land

The discussion of ways and means
for the organization of company, to
take over the reservoir site in the
Humboldt river bottoms, near Hum
boldt House, and the construction of an
immense reservoir there, that will
conserve and impound early spring
floods in the river, until they can be
used during the dry summer for the
irrigation and reclamation of the Love
lock valley lands, was the subject of
mass meeting of the farmers of the
valley, held in Young's opera house
last Monday.
The meeting was attended by large
number of the farmers, and over forty
have agreed to take stock in the ven
ture, to the value of the water right,

Although the heavy flow of water i'll
the tunnel has caused a close-down of
the mines, yet the matter is viewed
in most optimistic light by the mine
management, for it is believed that
the appearance of the water indicates
a nearness to the ledge, for which the
company had been driving for the past
two years. The angle of the ledge and
the formations that have been encoun-
tered just preceding the appearance of
the water indicate that a large coun-
try is backed up by the ledge forma-
ton, and it is the drainage from this
wide area that is now pouring out OF
the tunnel
AS previously mentioned in the Trib-
une, the Nevada United Mining COM
pany is one of the strongest operating
in the state, being composed principal
ly of Wall street men. The property
has prospects of becoming one of the
biggest and most profitable mining
ventures in the state.

are needed.
The feasibility of the plan has long
been foreseen and indeed, it has often
been discussed by the Loveloek farm
ers, although in the past the matter,
owing to inability to secure the need
ed capital, never materialized. The
reservoir site is owned by a number of
Lovelock citizens, who are deeply in
terested in the project and who have
held the land for years, knowing that
at some time the great project would
be put through. -.
That the big project is auspiciousiy
launched is evident, and Lovelock will
enter another era of prosperity that
will not be seconded by the boom that
came with the discovery Of Seven
Troughs. The production of the farms
are stable and the land with prosperous
farmers is the land that will endure.

with them the first anniversary of their
wedding.

wooden wedding, had prepared accor-
dinghy; but the guests decided that
the end of the first year to be the
paper anniversary, so carried gifts o.
that material to the bride, but it took
the Tribune sleuth to settle the ques-
ton beyond a doubt, that cotton should
have comprised the decorations and
gifts. Whist was played until late
hour. Mrs. Preston winning the first

Jessup Continues
Active Mining
Operations
(By. L. L. Hogerton.)

The hidden treasures of the Jessup
district are coming to light slowly but
surely. Another property that looks
like a conner is the Black Bear. The
property is owned by Messrs. Towers
and Mcdonald of Colorado, who have
sunk on the ledge to a depth of rs
feet. The ledge lies between well de-
fined walls of andesite and is three and
oneh half fee wide showing stringer
of specimen rock on the hanging wall.
Assays taken clear across the ledge
gave returns of $97.63.
Another shipment will leave here
about the first of the month from the
Gold King mine carrying values OF
over 5000 per ton.
Mr. Mickeal O'Ryan has returned tc
camp and is prosecuting development
work on the Alaatska property. Mr.
O'Ryan has rich syndicate at the
back of him who have mapped out ex
tensive plans. A working shaft will
be sunk to the 100 level from
which east and west drifts will be run
to tap the two parallel lodges.
At the Eureka mine work is prOgres
sing as usual The Wine has been
sunk to depth of 80 feet on the
ledge which has wldened to four and
one-half feet. The shopping produce
which is being extracted will carry
values excessive of 5000.
Many property owners are returning

annual work very diligently. The dis
trict is taking on the aspects of

How to Get Rid of
Field Mice
Pest

The following is of interest to those
of the valley who are troubled with
the field mice pest:
Science in the War of determination
Sir James Critchen,Browne says that
science has so far not discovered any
effectual way to rid the world of the
pestiferous presence of rats. Perhaps
the best method may be found in de-
vice instituted by celebrated German
btcterologist, Professor A. Neumann;
or in a modification or improvement OF
his idea. He hit upon the novel and
fairly successful scheme of inoculatine
rats with highly contagious and dead
ly disease. Cultures of michobes are
mixed with bread and grain, which
when eaten by thhe rats, set up a dis
ease similar to malignant typhus. The
rats dies in about three days after con
tracing it, and the epidemic spreads
among them with great rapidity. Prof
Neumann s virus is said to possess the
virtue of affecting only rodents. Live
stock and human beings experienced
no ill effects after being inoculated
with it. So great an impression has
Prof. Neumann's method made in
Europe that in Denmark bill has
been passed appropriatnig $3.50 an
nually for expenditure along this line
Some of the British colonies Gas seems
to be shown by a dispatch from Jamai
ca) are said to be employing the virus
on an extensive scale. But this method
has not yet been stamped with the ap
proval of scientists generally.
In this country, the researches and
practical experiences of the experts
engaged in carrying on the war have
resulted in the recommendation of GER
tain positive steps which may be taker
by all citizens. If you will write &c
