TIMBER OPERATION ON
INDIAN RESER-
VATION.

Washington, July 1S.--With brush
burning just competed on the Bad
River Indian Reservation in Wiscon-
sin, under the supervision of the Unit
ed States Forest Service, the largest
timber operation in that part of the
Lake States for great many years is
brought to close. Following the dis
astrous fires throughout the north
woods during the summer of 1908. It
was evident that logging operations
must be extended over the Bad River
Reservation ON an enormous scale to
save the timber which was fatally
burned by these fires. Accordingly.
the j. s. Stearns Lumber company
contracted to log all OF the burned
timber OF the reservation. The nor
NAL annual cut of this company on
the reservation was about $4,000, 900
feet a year. but by the time the res
ervation had been cruised and con-
tracts let for logging the timber, II
was found that the operations would
have to be nearly trebled. The total
cut for the winter amounted to ap-
proximately 165, 1000, 900 feet, nearly
all white pine, with the average price
received between seven and eight dol
lars. After deducting ten cents per
thousand feet for the cost of scaling
and supervision, the remaining pro-
ceeds are placed to the credit of the
Indians on the reservation
Twenty-six logging camps were es-
tabllshed on the reservation, and the
average number of men employed
was about 5000. Thirty-one scalers
were required to do the scaling and
they were constantly cneck scaled by
three inspectors directed by the For
est Service. The greater part of the
logs were hauled to Bad River, which
is now jammed. with logs for about
forty miles. To manufacture this i'm
mense cut of small logs, the j. s.
Stearns Lumber Company found IL
necessary TO purchase two sawmills IN
addition to their own, and to con-
tract with three other sawmills situat-
ed on Lake Superior In the vicinity OF
Ashland.
According to the contract, Il was
required that the tops and slash left
by this operation should be burned.
Brush burning began the latter part
of April and has been conducted by
force of men ranging from 500 to
9Oo. In many cases IL was found nec-
essary to open the old logging camps
and install full crews to carry on this
brush burning. Strips at least 900
feet wide adjoining green unburned
timber are required to be cleared or
all infiammable brush by burning IL.
BY this method of brush burning Il
will be practically impossible for fires
to spread so extensively as in the
past. BY contemplated cooperation
with the j. S. Stearns Lumber Com
pany, II is planned to hold sufficient
force available to combat any fire
which may start on the reservation
during the summer season. and with
the assistance of the fire lines made
by burning a wide strip adjoining
green timber, II is probable that loss
from fire on the reservation will be re-
duced to minimum.

The Water Bite.

He was six years old and had never
gazed into the mystic lens of micro

malcula had been displayed to his as

to make any comment until he came to
one slide that seemed more wriggly
than any of the others. 1t was merely
a drop of water.

of 200 feet from the old workings
made an open cut and at a distance Of
but three feet from the surface struck
the vein from which the recent ship
ment of ore was taken.
During the last ten days there has
been large number of prospectors
attracted to the camp by the rich
showings, and as result the country
has been staked for miles around.

HELD JOINT MEET.
ing TODAY

AT joint meeting of the school
trustees and teachers, held at the of

day, there were present Trustees Bell
Brandon and Bonnifeld, Prof. B. A
Perkins, principal, Miss Carrie Allen
vice principal, and Misses Jessie Dia

Ella Lying and Mrs. Jennie Smith.
The meeting was called by the trus
tees for the purpose of securing an ex-
preston from the teachers as to de.
sirable changes and improvements for
the coming school year. The trustees
also inquired into methods in practice
for handling pupils during the recess
hours, and suggested that during that
time scholars be under the immediate
supervision of some teacher
Now that the city high school is
about to become a county high school
its course will be extended and the
scope of it's usefulness will be greatly
enlarged. The trustees are making ev-
cry preparation for the thorough sue
cess of the movement, but the final
plans cannot be decided upon until the
meeting of the county commissioners,
which viii be held on July 5. The real
fate of the new movement will depend
upon the action of the commissioners.
Because of the great interest that is
manifested in the welfare of the high
school, there can scarcely be doubt
but that the commissioners will lend
hearty support to the movement. Win
nemucea has long enjoyed the reputa
tion of maintaining one of the best
high schools in the state, and those
most interested are, of course, doing all
in their power to keep up this high
standing.

GOLDEN RULE OR
DER Of WORLD

The Golden Rule Order of the
World is broad, non n-sectarian fellow
ship, which is striving to introduce a
larger organized life of universal love
and justice by the introduction of the
principles of the Golden Rule in all
forms of business, social and home life
The motto, Be good; do good; make
good,' can easily and practically be
adopted by both Jew and Gentle
catholic and Protestant.
The objects of the Golden Rule Or.
der of the World are:
To enlist vast army of earnest
fearless, conscientious men, women and
children in moral crusade.
To encourage young men to live
clean, moral, upright lives; to control
their anger and lustful passions; to alb
stain from impure thoughts and un.
clean habits; and to realize that the
great desideratum of life is not the
making of money but the making of
manhood.
To lend helping hand to the unem.
ployed by cooperation with established
organizations in securing work for
them.
To organize Golden Rule clubs in con.
nection with the schools, churches
jails, reform schools and penitentiarief
throughout the land.
To induce the press to close its col
umns against anything inimlcal to the
Golden Rule.
Each member is urged to wear the
Golden Rule pin-a small lighthouse OF
which is resting hand holding the
scale of justice, on either side Of which
are the letters L. and j. (Love and JUS
tice), with the golden rule balancing
the scales. By wearing the same, the
members show their desire and deter
mination to live up to the precepts OF
the Golden Rule
Some of the most influential bust
ness men and several leading ministers
and educators are taking an active par
in the movement, which promises to de
velop into national one, in which
event, it will prove to be one of the
strongest and most beneficial order
ever organized in America.
Prof. q. B. Smith, principal of tn.
Berkeley Business College, founder Of
the order, expects to visit our city
soon, when he will organize Colder
Rule clubs in this city and vicinity.

!APPORTlONS WATER
ON HUMBOLDT

X. B. Crowell, field engineer Of the
state engineers g Office, who 10 engaged
in making surveys and adjusting water
rights ON the Humboldt river and its
tributaries, was in town for a day or
two the fore part of the week. In
speaking of his work to q representa-
tive Of the Silver State News, Mr..
Crowell said:
Although Nevada is generally
known as an arid state, there is water
enough to answer all legitimate pur-
poses if handled right. The state en-.
gineer's Office was organized in 1908,
and since that time has adjusted the
water rights on the Carson, Walker
ond Big Muddy rivers. The fact that
not single complaint has been made
goes to show what can be done in the
way of irrigation when the water is
handled in an equitable and systematic
manner.
"The last legislature appropriated
the sum of $4,000 to adjudIcate water
rights on the Humboldt and its tribu-
taries. This work is now being carried
on under the general supervision Of
Frank r. Nicholas, state engineer, and
under the special direction Of J. r.
Van Nagell, assistant engineer. We
started in at the Humboldt sink, about
fifteen miles below LoveIock, three
months ago, and have completed the
work as far as Winnemucca, which ter
ritory has been officially designated
District No. l. From Winnemucca to
Palisade canyon is District No. 2. We
are now engaged on the Little Hum
boldt, in Paradise valley, and expect to
have the entire district finished before
the end of the present year.
"We are glad to be able to state
that in our work we are receiving the
hearty cooperation Of the water-users,
and have encountered very little fric-
tion. The principal lesson our depart
ment is endeavoring to impress upon
the minds of ranchers is the necessity
of properly draining the land after ir-
rigation, returning the water to the
stream from which it was taken. -
"Are you looking after any other
streams in the state this year, Mr..
Crowellf' inquired the reporter.
"We are finishing up on the
Truckee river,' was the reply. "a
former legislature made the necessary
appropriation for the work, and, not
having been quite completed last year,
is being finished this summer"
Thursday morning Mr.. Crowell and
G. w. Grayson went over to Willow
Point, returning yesterday. Last ev-
ening Mr.. Crowen left for Carson City,
but will return on the LIST Of July.

ot l.. L. d. was conferred on James d.

The honor, which is distinguished
one, was awarded Judge Sweeney in
recognition of his proven ability. He
was, perhaps, the youngest attorney

work at supreme judge has justified the

FLORENCE BULLION
TAX SETTLED

This spring the Florence G oldfield
Mining company submitted its annual
report to State Bullion Tax Collector
Haley, showing that while it had ex.
tracted ores to the value of $4O0. 900,
the work had been accomplishe at a
loss, and that in consequence it was
exempt from paying state bullion tax.
Being dissatisfied with the statemens,
Mr. Haley made an investigation and
submitted to the Esmeralda grand jury
evidence going to show that their min
ing business had been conducted at a
good profit, and that in addition they
had collected large revenues from
leasers.
On this showing indictments were re-
turned against Thomas Loekhart,
president, and all the other officers of
the company. In addition Sheriff
Bradley, of Esmeralda county, made an
arbitrary assessment against the com
pany, with taxes amounting to APP
proximately $4,000. Today Mr.
Haley received the following dispatch:
