TEST SHIPMENT
MADE THIS WEEK

The Red Canyon Mining Com
pany, whose property, located in
the Red Canyon district, has been
undergoing development. the past
nine months, decided upon max
ing test of the ore to determine
the best method of treating it by
concentration.
The company has fine body Of
copper ore partially opened up,
and one of the Eastern representa-.
tives, Mr.. W. l.. Thompson of Chi
aago, arrived in Gardnerville on
Sunday, December 20, for the pur-
pose of arranging for the extrac-
tion, shipment and treatment of
this ore. This is preliminary to
the further development of the ore
body and the increase of the equip
ment by the installation of con-
centration plant.
The ore shipped this week is a
fair average of the entire body and
will probably average five per cent
in copper and small values in gold
and silver.
Mr. Thompson made a careful
examination of the property ana
believes that the showing justifes
the company in the belief that by
careful, conservative management,
they can make of the Red Canyon
one of the best properties in this
section of Nevada.

COUNTY OFFICERS SERVED
THEPE0PLE WELL

torney, has conducted the duties of
that off ce in very creditable
manner and the county nor the
tax payers cannot say that he has
not made a good officer. His de-
feat for reelection was merely
matter of fate and he has already
built up a good law practice and
will devote his time in taking care
of the same.
VIM. Starke, the retiring County
Commissioner from this district,
had no desire to again serve in
that capacity, his business interests
being such that they were neglect
ed during the time spent in work
ing for the county's best interests
and also a contemplated trip to
Fatherland. He made a splendid
officer and Gardnerville has pro-
fitted by his personal as we'll as Of
fetal work. Two cement culverts
and the Main street graded in the
best of manner will stand as monu-
ments of his work when all other
memories have passed to oblivion.
Like all mortals who are subject
to mistakes, Mr.. Starke is no ex-
ception. He has done his level
best to work for the best interests
of the majority; who could do
more?
J. Thomson is the holdover COM
missioner and his previous ex-
perience on the Board should fit
him for the chairman's chair.
To the new officers that will take
up the reins of county government
next Monday, to extend over the
period of the next two years, we
wish you success and hope no stone
will be placed in your way which
will prevent the economic but not
selfish management of the county
affairs.

An old time resident of the state
has written the following regarding
|ahe variety of the resources of Ne
ada.
H Nevada is world in range of
latitude, climate and natural re-
sources.
III In latitude she stretches from the
alcolorado river TO the south bound
sry Of Oregon.
Her climate varies from semi
| ropical at the Colorado river to
Itemperate northward and in her
II highest northern mountains frigid.
Her products vary from cotton,
coffee, tobacco, figs, grapes, peaches,
/ lemon. and oranges in the south 10
ice i'm her northern mountains.
In the worlds exposition in Chi
cago she was awarded the first
premium for cotton, and as that
was worlds fair, that award is
pns sort of evidence that Nevada
PRODUCES the finest cotton in the
world. If she did not take first
premium on rice, sugar, tobacco,
caches, oranges, lemons, barley,
corr, eats, rye and wheat and all
useful vegetables and forage plants
Il is because she did not try.
Utah lies east of Nevada, and in
ike latitude, elevation and elm
ate. challenge the state of Calf
ornia To present an exhibit OF Ger
esls, fruits, forage plants and vege
tables equal in excellence to the
display from Utah.
End of Nevada's chemica and
mineral resources there is none.
Nevada is land of surprises.
In 1859 we surprised the world by
.covering the Comstock lode and
,ening and developing the richest
slver-gold belt that has ever been
discovered on this planet. A lode
that yielded in gold and silver
more than five hundred million
dollars, and is still producing.

in the sage brush OH the eastern
slope of Mount Davidson, the first
person | came to was a miner lean
ing on pick. | enquired about
silver ore, he had dug, he said:
"rhere is the stuff, they say there
is silver ia 1t, but | don't know"
The man was a molder from
foundry on Front street in Sacra-
mento. That man was the best
silver miner in the United States
at that time. Today We have the
best miners and mstallurgists in
the world. In Nevada when we
want to do anything, we put
man at the head who believes in
the thing To be done, and then we
go ahead and never fail.
We invented our own machinery
and invented our own processes,
In the early sixties the reduction
plants on the Comstock would not
touch an ore that carried less than
one hundred dollars, and would
not attempt reduction for less than
fifty dollars a ten, and would not
guarantee results.
Under the system OF reduction
that grew up on the Comstock lode,
from no knowledge OF the metal.
lurgy of gold and silver to the
complete Comstock process, We
took the ore from the mines and
and cleaned them OF their precious
metals down to one dollar per ton.
Today we can reduce ores for
seventy-tive cents per ton, and
guarantee ninety-five per cent ex
traction, from which i conclude
that mining in Nevada is as per-
manent pursuit as farming IN
New York or Missouri. 1t is un-
thinkable that with our present
knowledge and skill in metallurgy
of the precious metals, that the
time will ever come in Nevada,
when mining will not be more pro-
fitable than farming in the agri-
cultural states.
In Nevada We have raised
generation of men who had gold
ores and silver ores and reduction
works and acid chambers and man
ufacturing chemistry plants and
reiineries and hosting works and
power drills for playmates in child
hood.
They can operate mine, extract
the ore, and extract the precious
metals from the ore, and refine and
turn it out in elegant bars of bull

ernment debasss il to coin it into

We take pleasure in producing
in this issue of the Reeord-Courier
halftone of the officers who have
guided the destinies of Douglas
county for the past two years and
is the first group CT officials ever
published in this county. On
next Monday they will transact
their last official business for the
county and the new officials will
take up the work where the old
staff leaves off. However, it may
be we'll to give a brief resume of
the work done by the outgoing
members, although three of their
number have a place on the list of
officers. VIM. Starke, short term
commissioner, did not aspire to
reelection and the same is to be
said about Fred Schacht.
Sheriff Wyatt served the voters
during his last term in way that
paved his way to reelection, an
achievement worth striving for.
He has record OF collecting
larger number of poll taxes than
any other assessor of this county.
Fred klotz, the Recorder and Au-
ditor, is one of the most competent
officials ever TO hold position
within the Court Heuse. He has
served for six term and is enter
ing upon his seventh term of duty.
Hans Jepsen, upon entering the
duties of Clerk some six years

to at least four expositions and to
other celebrations outside this city in
the last 25 years, and every time it
was brought back a movement was
started TO prevent the historic bell
from again leaving Philadelphia.
Notwithstanding this agitation, city
councils, which have the power to au-
thorize the bell being taken from the
city. have nearly always granted the
request. as councils do not like to place
the city in position of being dis
courteous or Indifferent TO the success
Of an exposition or celebration. Re-
quests have already been made here to
have the bell go to the.northwest, but
nothing official has been done.
One of the reasons against taking the
bell west is because of the great dis
tance to be travelled and the danger
OF the bell breaking. The old relic is
