The committee of seven appointed
by the Lovelock citizens to take up the
question of the proposed sewerage sys

that has been done is the holding of

get together and start the ball rolling.

work. The work will put a number of
men to work and will help the town

Bloody Canyon Antimony Mines
(From the Silver State News.)

(From the Silver State News.)
Charles A. Green, of the Bloody
Canyon atnimony mines, located near
Mill City, has been in town for the
past few days. The company has tits
own smelter on the property, but at
present is doing but little work, owing
to the depressed condition of the
market.
About $500 tons of antimony are an
nually consumed in the United States,
the greater portion of which is import
ed from China, the new tariff imposing
a duty of one cent per pound. During
the year 1907 the Bloody Canyon mines
produced two-thirds of all the anti
mony marketed in the United States,
and last year was the only producer in
the country.

A representative of Sacramento

quiring into the power facilities here
with the idea in view of putting up a

favorable.
1t is the intention of the company to
use electricity for power and the mill
will be located rear town
There is no doubt but that Lovelocl
offers a coed point for the establish
ing of an alfalfa grinding plant and q
flour mill. The cost of the machine for
grinding anal1a is only about $4,000,
fhese machines formerly cost nearly
$4,000, but new patent has materl-

SAYS LOVELOCK IS AN
EASY PLACE To Make
A Living in
F. M. LEE OF RENO. TALKS
OF THE LOvELoCK VALLEY
Says Few Agricultural Communities
Have the Natural Advantages
That We Have.

+. M. Lee. the well known banker,
who has been in Lovelock the fore part
of the week, in connection with the
negotiations over the sale of the prop
erty of the Lovelock Land and Devel-
opment company, in which he is inter
ested, says that Lovelock is an easy
place to make u living in. The Love
lock farmers take life too easy he says
and do not produce as much as they
are capable of producing. The natural
advantages of the Lovelock valley
from an agricultural standpoint are un-
equaled he says, and but few sections
of like character, where mixing soil
and water together will bring forth
like results, can be found anywhere.
The rich soil, the ease with which
the land is irrigated are not excclled
anywhere. But in Mr.. Lees opinion
the Lovelock valley farmers are not
taking advantage of the great oppor-
tunities which Nature has so generous
ly bestowed. The farmers are not pro-
ducing all they are capable of produe-
ing. As an example, he says that there
is no reason why the Lovelock cream
cry should not be running continuously
and that the farmers could get two or
three dollars n ton more for their hay,
if they would feed it to milk COWS and
sell the milk to the creamery. But the
creamery was forced to close down, be-
cause the farmers preferred to sell
their hay for feed, rather than keep
milk cows and go to the trouble of hav-
ing them MIXED. As result profit
able industry that would bring in
thousands of dollars annually remains
idle, while Lovelock buys the butter it
uses from outside points.

who has been invited to act as superin-

in connection with the Fourth Dry

II am indorsing this wheat for
Colorado conditions where winter
wheat has not proven satisfactory. l
frankly believe that turkey red winter
wheat should be grown on the non
irrigated lands wherever it is success
full, since it has market at every
station, as Colorado millers pay from
three to five cents hundred premium
for this because of it's high milling
qualities.
"When durum wheat comes out
from under tn emilers ban, as I yet
believe it will, then I will say 'Grow
ourum wheat on the non-irrigated
lands over the semi-arid west, and lost
of it,
"To the farmer who contemplates
growing this wheat, l would urge the
following Suggestions:
~. Get it into ground as early in
the spring as climatic conditions will
permit.
"2. Seed 10 per cent more to the
acre than you did with turkey red
winter wheat, because the kernel is
much larger.
"3. Practice summer tillage upon
ground you expect to seed Ito durum
wheat so that you will conserve the
moisture.
"a. Do not expect more than 25
bushels to the acre as a crop yield
Under the most favorable conditions
the highest yield reported in Colorado
is 49 bushels. The lowest yield which
l have ever known in Colorado is 10

PROBABLE EFFECT OF BAD

Many people who have visited Wal

ster sea serpent or prehistoric mon
ster in the inland seq, but people have

many prominent mining men claim
that they have seen this terrible ami

Captain Cadle of the Reno police

ing at Lucky Boy, and today mining

die of his brother's narrow escape
from death when attacked by this ser
pent.
This man, who is; Sparks railroad
man, states that yesterday while Har-
ry Cadle and about 20 other men OF
Lucky Boy were standing on the shores
of Walker lake looking out upon the
water they saw; this monster more
than 20 feet long swimming in the lake
with more than. three feet of his body
out of the watser all tn Q time. Harry
Cadle laughed 'at the others when they
called it the d readed sea serpent ant

$4,000 FOR SPORTING
EDITOR OF reno
GAZETTE

Inc sporting editor of the Gazette
at Reno reprints an article from the
Tribune, giving the reasons why the
Lovelock- -Fallon ball game, schedul-
ed to be played in Lovelock last Sun.
day, August 20, was not played, and at
tempts to ridicule the reasons, and
tells what true sport Mr.. Rossie is,
etc. To the sporting editor of the
Gazette we desire to state that we
have $50 in our possession we will pay
to him or any one he will name, if
the facts as were stated in that article
are shown to be incorrect, or if the
further facts that follow are not liter
ally true.
When the Lovelock-Fallon game to
be played on Sunday, August %, was
first discussed, Mr.. Rossie agreed to
play for the net gate receipts. He,
with G. M. Young, sent the telegram,
requesting Fallon to come here and
play, and they signed the name of Mr..
Penny to the telegram. Rossie later
received an offer to play at Reno,
and he desired to play there instead of
Lovelock. He was then offered a
guarantee of 500 to play here. He
agreed to this and stated that he
would send telegram to Reno, tell
ing them that he could not come. A
message had been received from Fal-
Ion, asking whether the team had been
broken up, stating that the Reno
Journal had said so, and wanted to
Know if the game had been called off.
In reply to this a message was written
out that practically the same team
would play as at the previous game,
and instructing the Fallonites to come.
Kossie himself took this message to the
telegraph office and sent it. Rossie
had no legitimate excuse for not play
ing, and his absolute refusal to play
was not given until 3 O'Clock on Sat
urday afternoon preceding the game
sportsmanlike, and of character that
would not be countenanced for a
minute in league baseball.
Now if the Reno Gazette's sporting
editor is assured that the only reason
the FallonLovelock game was not
played was because OF fear of being
beaten. and tnat Rossie's conduct hdd
nothing to do with it, and can prove
the assertions let them come and claim
the 500 or let any one else who can
prove to the contrary of what has
been published, let them come forward.
Rossie has always been admired as a
sportsman and gentleman, hut his
actions in this instance has lost him a
host of warm friends.

Oh! How 1t Rained
For Ten Minutes Wednesday After
noon it Game Down at the Rate
of Two Inches in an Hour.

Some of the more timid minded
Lovelock citizens thought cloud
burst had hit the tewwn aid and valley vail Ia st
wednesday afternoon and those who
had just finished reading the Nevada
State journal of that date, telling OF
the devastation wrought by a like dis
ing hot footed tor Lone mountain.
But it really did rain some. The down
pour fell in sneetG and in few
minutes the low places in town were
lakes. The exact amount o. rain that
fell during the period of heaviest pre-
cipitation, as measured by the U. ).
Chronological instruments at the Love
lock Tribune Office, was 3 of an inch
in ten minutes; .3 of an men in ten
minutes is at the rate OF very nearly
two inches in one hour. Well if it
rained like that for IL hours, there
would be need for I. Noah S ark.
Although the precipitation was very
heavy, from various reports that have
come in no material damage was done
to the crops. Beyond suffering the in
convenience O. delay, until the cut
grain could dry out, those who are
threshing have no complaint. In
some instances where the grain was
standing, waiting for the combined
harvester, some damage of grain being
knocked down and shelled out is re-
ported.
