 A communication from w. E. Sel- lick, Live Stock Inspector of San Die. go county was received and referred to the Imperial County Live Stock Inspector for consideration.
 This being the time and place hurt. tofore set for hearing of pettu m for setting the water rate for Inn. perial County, and the same coming on regularly for hearing, the matter was taken up and proceeded with.
 District Attorney J. M. Eshleman presented and read an opinion of the duties of the Board in this matter.
 A telegram from J. B. Eldridge, at torney for the petitioners, was pre- sented asking that no action be taken on the petition and that the matter be dropped.
 MT. Noleman, of the firm of Nole- man & Smyser, appeared as attorney for certain of the petitioners and pro- tested against the dismissal of the petition.

 Senator Ives, appearing as chief counsel for the California Develop ment Company asked that the peti- tion be dismissed alleging it's insuffi- ciency, because of the withdrawal of names of petitioners.
 On motion of Supervisor McHarg, seconded by Supervisor Ferguson, the Board voted to dismiss the peti- ton.
 This being the time and place set heretofore for hearing of a second petition for the setting of water rates for Imperial County, the same was regularly taken up and the hearing proceeded with.
 On behalf of the California Develop ment Company, Attorney Ives set forth the allegation that the company has not appropriated water for dis tribution in Imperial County, but se- cures such water by and through a concession from the Mexican govern ment, and therefore would not come under the provisions of the State law providing for the fling of water rates. He also represented that the petition was not properly presented to the Board of Supervisors and that the notice of publication had not been properly made,
 District Attorney Eshleman advised the Board that he did not consider the notice of publication properly made, and on motion the board voted to take no action on the petition, and the petition and papers connected with the matter were ordered filed

RAILROAD RAPIDLY NEARS
MASON VALLEY COUNTRY

YERINGTON, Nov. 2.-Contracts
are being let as fast as possible to
complete the railroad to Wellington.
Nearly all the material, excepting bolts
and RAILROAD spikes, nave arrived. The
delay in the latter has prevented the
progress the contractors would like to
make, nevertheless, steel is being laid
and it will be but . few weeks now
until we hear the whistle of the locomo-.
tive. A great many carloads Of pota-
toes and hay and three carloads OF
honey are being stored in Yerington
to be shipped ON railroad - o as
completed this far. 1t il estimated
that the profit on the shipments Of
cattle in spring, from the southwest
part Of the valley win amount to near
ly the cost Of the railroad.

this ranch seven years ago, three families ived-existed. Now, ON
that ranch are four school houses, filed with happy children me
people ire prosperous-the panic was to them but heresay. come
rain, or come drouth, their crops re a $ sur a source OF annual reve-
nue. as the coupons from United States bonds.
What has been done can be done again. Irrigation Is but IN It's
infancy. Nevada has a rich field for this work. Heretofore, man mas
largely taken conditions of land, rainfall and climate as they have
been made to order for him. Now, he is finding that where land ana
climatic conditions are propitious, he can regulate his own rain1ah
with much better satisfaction and profit than by leaving it to Dame
Nature. Dame Nature is too busy to pander to every individual
want. She has to do the best she can and "lump" her blessings
and let man make a little use of that brain of which he boasts.
The people Of Nevada-after they have been shown the way by
outsiders-are awakening to the rich kingdom which they have SO
long spurned with their hob-naled feet, and almost In a night an
industry that promises immense proportions has sprung up. And to
the men who take advantage of what a few hardy pioneers have been
quietly doing under their very noses will come a rich reward-too
rich to pass by unheeded.
Men scdfed at the idea that California grain, and vegetables and
fruit would ever rival, in intrinsic worth, her gold. Al! interior Gail
fornia was ikened to a desert-a desert that reached from the
Sierras to the Coast range, from Mexico to the Sisklyous far u the
north. Yet, today, CALIFORNIA; gold output, great as it is. Is but a
bagatelle as compared with the products OF the soil. history re-
peats itself. Irrigation in the early days of California, was a expert
ment. Now it is a demonstrated and exact science. And Nevada
awaits its application.

INSTRUMENTATION TO
BUILD TEN-STAMP MILL

ed up on the strength of this strike and
in all probability, a camp of state vile
Importance will spring into existence
within a stone 8 throw of the old Ophir
mine just over the summit in the Twin
river section of the Toiyabe range.
The tide Of mining activity is rising
with a permanent swing all up AMI
down Reese river from Berlin to Bat
tie Mountain. 1t is an unexpected
mineral empire. The King Meas
strike at the south comes close on tie
heels of the marvellous gold showing at
Bannock to the north.
The big mill at Austin belonging to
the Austin Manhattan Consolidated will
before many weeks be dropping stamps
on Austin ores. 1t is reliably reported
that George D. Kilborn, for the Ne
vada Equity Mines company, will
build a mill here within the mex six
months and begin the hosting of ore
that is already blocked out. This re-
gion has more of a variety Of minerals
to keep it in a prosperous state than
any other similar territory in the west.
1t has gold properties as sensational IS
those that made the country wild over
Manhattan, Round Mountain and Gold
field. 1t has at Austin the richest sill
yer mines on the continent. 1t has
great porphyry copper deposits near
Battle Mountain. 1t has silver-lead
mines in various stages of development
at several points between Berlin to
twenty miles north of Austin. 1t has
shipping quick silver mines at lone.
Nine miles south of Austin are anti
mony mines, that previous to the panic,
shipped ore to Swansea at a profit. I'm
til the marvellous find at Bannock, it
was thought that all the mines had
been found. 1t seems, however, that
the Reese river country is still the
colorado for the ~prospector as well az
the most inviting field for the promoter
and the exploiter of first class pros
poets and partially proved mines.

AUSTIN, New, Nov. I'm Austin
the best news coming ON the heels OF
the strike of the Panamint vein in the
Frost shaft, is the decision Of the
Austin Manhattan Consolidated to
equip and start a ten-stamp unit IN
their mill. This will be completed
within 60 days. The mill plant will be
installed according to the system
reached by experts in the metallurgical
plant of c. w. Merrill at San Fran
cisco. Merrill will make the installa-
ton and the company is anxious for
all possible speed to be made.
The new equipment to be brought in
will include a Chilean mill for recrush-
ing, Cone classifiers, Card tables, tube
mill, cyanide tanks and the Merrill
filter process.
The gold bearing ledge on the-pror-
erty of the King Midas Mining com
pany has been struck at depth and the
rock will average between $40 and $50
in gold tt the ton. The King Midas
group Of claims constitute the acreage
purchased last spring by Colonel 8. T.
Pearson and associates from George
Gooding, and are situated up Reese
river near the Gooding ranch.
The ledge was cut in a tunnel that
has been worked on for the past few
mouths, the object being to prospect
the hill and ascertain the quality OF
.he ore at a reasonable depth. Befors
the tunnel was started, the splendi |
character of the ledge had been demon
strated by a shaft and other cuts AT
the surface. This strike in the tue.
mel confirms the theory of Colonel
Pearson that the ledge would prove
deep seated and in all reason, based on
his wide experience, prove the making
of another producing gold propert.y in
the upper valley tributary to Austin.
Not only will the King Midas prove a
paying property to all interested in
the company, from these indications.
but there viii be other properties open

Golden Opportunities

~ DISABILITIES of untold magnitude would seem to confront
that man or body of men who will get together and effect the
operation, either sngly or through a consolidation, OF those
properties within or Immediately adjoining the proven zone" In the
camp that r. now idle, and being held merely for speculative pr
poses, in the hope that development in the properties adjoining them
will enable them to be sold at some future date at a good, lat price
with no money having been expended by the owners.
There are a number of attractive properties in this class In the
camp that are nothing more or less than a drawback to the mining
life Of Goldfeld. They are not being worked, and no attractive terms
are being made to mining men who would operate leases upon them
were conditions different. The attractions that a consolidation OF
some of these properties offers will not always be lost sight OF, and the
man who effects such a consolidation will not only be I'm line for rich
material returns. but would be a genuine benefactor of the camp.

After treating eczema for years as prac-

that It Is not blood disease at ALL but Is
due to a parasite in the skin itself This
parasite is easily destroyed by the external
application OF a compound OF oil Of winter

quickly kill all eczema germs, while soo,h-

Love of country Is so fine virtue
that It seems difficult TO carry It to ex.
cess. A resident of small village In
the north OF Scotland paid business
visit TO London the other day. He
happened to call on a merchant who
unknown to him had once made stay
IN his native place. In the course Of
conversation the visitor made use OF
an expression that led the other to ex.
claim. Surely you come from Glen
McLuskieT" The assertion. however,
was denied. Presently, to the merchants
surprise. another Glen McLuskle ex-
preston was heard. "My dear Mr..
MacTavish. feel convinced that you

Insisted the merchant.
"Weel," returned the other, "I'll no
