BIG ARTEs|AN WATER FLOW

A situation. unparalleled in the his

and one which is Of sufficient import

The source of the water supply is q

believed BY the mine management that
that the tunnel has tapped an under

ledge formations. The appearance Of
the rock now being gotten out Of the
tunnel indicates nearness to the great
ledge toward which the company have
been driving. This heavy water flow.

Report On Nevada Mines

1t is said that the report being com.
piled by State Mining Inspector Stewart
will be the first complete report ever
made on the mineral resources and pro-
duction of Nevada. It takes up the
whole State in detail. by counties and
districts. It gives authenticated figures
Of production from the first activity un-
til the present day. Stewart has delved
into ancient files of newspapers. into
old reports. into laws and into every re.
cord that would give him the slightest
information about the subject he is
treating. Mines that produced millions
years ago. some that have ceased to ex.
ist even in memory. districts that once
were fiourishing and are now being re.
opened, facts aud figures by the column
and page are included in the work. and
when 1t is completed. printed and circu-
lated, Nevada will have q hand book
that will form the basic for all future
compilations on the subject.

THE CALL OF THE FARM
America Holds Great Possibilities
In Future for Densely Popu-
lated Agricultural Lands

Many others besides James J. Hill see
in the return to the soil" Of a large
part Of our population the only hope of
rescue from high prices and food scar.
city. In an interview in the New York
American, John W. Gates is quoted as
saying:
"This country has not been scratched
yet in the way of development. especi-
ally in agriculture. There is Texas,
with 30 to 25 per cent more area than
France. and Texas has 4. 200. 900 popula-
ton. while France has about 3S, COO, 900
and the French are q prosperous people.
Take California with its 5000. 900 pop
ulation. 1t has the area of Germany,
whils the last named country has co.
900. 900, and Germany 10 one of the most
prosperous countries in the world"
In the same paper secretary James
Wilson of the United States Department
of Agriculture, corroborating Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Gates. argues thus in behalf of
agricultural education as q means of
turning the tide that during the last
so years has been draining the rural
communities and flooding the towns to
congestion:
"Most of our colleges to-day are stren-
uously at work turning out lawyers, doc
tors, preachers and typewriters, but few
of them make any effort to graduate q

some form taught in every seat of learn
ing and in our public schools.
Starting with the fact that the farm.
er has to work hard he has as reward
better health. longer life. and more
independent existence than any other
man on earth. it ought to be easy to
make the life attractive.
"Tben would have the young men
taught the newest and latest methods of
agriculture. Show them how they can
produce more from an acre than their
fathers did. prove to them how to make
90 where their fathers made but 81, and
you will have offered the inducement
needed to check the abandonment of the
farm for the CITY,"

Zinc Or. Command. ss4 Per Ton

The highest price paid for zinc ore in
the Joplin. Mo-, district, In Elk years,
was reached August 10. when $54 per ton
was offered freely by the representa-
tives of different smelters. This in.
crease from $3l base results from the
tariff of cent per pound on the metallic
contents of zinc ore. On account Of the
high price large mining companies
which have been closed for two years
will resume operations.

"Divorcons" has become Reno's trade.
mark; bot she has various ways Of look.
ing at her newest industry-the manu-.
featuring Of divorces. There is the man
who believes that lax divorce laws and
prosperity go hand in hand. and who
tate reform; there's the public-spirited
business man, who says that Nevada
cannot build up So ubstantial community
on such Q basis: and. finally. there are
the old families who resent the Eastern
invasion aud decline to associate with
the new corners.
Says number one:
These Divorces are the incest people
in the world and they spend the money.
Yes. I'll admit that perhaps it ism g good
for the moral tone Of the community,
but let us not go at these matters too
hastily. Let us wait. The last Legis.
lature voted against the gamblers and
In two years more the people will vote to
put them out OF the State. They know
that they are doomed. aud they're dis
posing Of their property Is fast as they
can. But let this divorce proposition
alone.'
"The divorce colony spends q million
q year here" declares my prominent
citiz.n, who doesn't believe in hurting
business. "I'm thinking of putting mp
q hotel for them over there. What do
you think of that for q site? / don't
know; might make il an apartment
house."
Says number two:
mo, don't let the Divorces alone.
We don't want them. No community
10 better for having them. Let us
profit by the experience of Sioux City.
South Dakota saw the harm that her
laws were doing aud she remodeled
them. Then the colony packed up it's
duds and moved farther West"
Says number three. a member of one
OF the old families:
Zone can hardly walk on the stree ts
now without being crowded of by these
new people. They are many Of them
very estimable men and women. but
they are here for only one purpose. l
cannot afford to meet them and have
declined to do so. will not open my
home to them."
And now comes the hotel proprietor.
with his large. tolerant views OF human
nature. His manner toward his guests
is that of an indulgent father Of large
family. He welcomes the Divorces to
Nevada and raises his rates. He recog.
nises the divorce lawyer as necessary
adjunct to an up.to-date hotel; as q
greater necessity. in fact. under the cir.
cumstances. than the hotel doctor.
And then there is the lively lady of
fashion. She, too. welcomes her eman.
cipatsd (or about to be emancipated)
sisters. on the ground that they under
stand the joy of living; that from their
presence need not arise q question OF
morals. bns perhaps an improvement in
dress fashions. for. she declares, the
clever little Reno girls are putting their
nimble fingers to the task Of copying
Parisian styles.
"Oh. we had dead time before the
the Divorces camel" exclaims this gay
society matron. "Now every body wants
to spend their vacation here. Some
friends OF mine intended to 60 away

up they decided to stay at home. Every.
body says that Reno 10 the place where
