Aug 9.-Your correspondent, like
a migratory bird, has arrived tenn =
porarily from Caldor, where he has
been for about four wekes.
Grizzly Flat has begun to have re-
newed hopes of prosperity. The
NJ Mount Pleasant mine, which has been
idle for some time, has again started
up, and this time they intend to see
if the old gold producer will not
again pour wealth into the Golfers of
its owners. The Intention of the
present company is to sink 600 feet
deeper before stopping. This will
test the mine as to depth. In early
years the Mount Pleasant was a
dividend producer, turning out
several million dollars. Frank Nc
+ eet is superintendent. lie was born
and raised at Grizzly Flat. and a
better selection for superintendent
than he could not have been made.
AT present two men are camped
Just above Grizzly Flat, who are max
ing a special business to trace the
ancient river channels through these
mountain ranges. The older man OF
the two told me he had been on every
river of prominence in the United
States, studying the rivers andl theil
course. 1t is whispered ithat they
are backed by syndicate of capital
lists, who are seeking to acquire pos
session of the dead rivers OF Cali
tornia. The older one, in conver
sation with myself upon the matter,
denied this and said 1t was persona
matter. There is more gold stored
away in these ancient rivers than has
been taken out. lhe matter of min
ing, like everything else, is beinl
reduced TO science, guess work will
no longer do. The ancient river
channels, of which there are many
have produced most of the gold touDc
in California. A gorge has cut
through it here, another there, ana
branching out like the arteries of the
human system has lett its deposits
every where. "Where is THEN

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach il
It is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suflic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Creamery Man Is Here.

|, l. Metzger, the man who is pro-
noting tho creamery business here, ar
rived last Friday with his family and
is busily engaged in making the neces-
sary arrangements for the establish
ment of the plant. He is expecting his
machinery any day ard probably before
this week is half over it will arrive and
also his household goods.
He has several places offered him for
location for his plant but Up to this
time he has not decided on the location
but most likely it will be in the town.
In fitting up plant of this nature it
requires considerable time and expense
but that is not the question with Mr.
Metzger ana all that he asks is that the
people keep their promise to furnish
milk and patronize him literally in
buying the butter he makes.

artist Buel of the Reno Gazette pre-
pared cartoon of ]. W. Ferguson,
assemblyman from this county in last
Saturdays issue. 1t was large four
column cut and very good likeness.
He also drew smaller ones around the
large one. On the left side of the
large one was where Mr. Ferguson
came to this county in 1875 and met
the population Lemuel Allen-as the
artist called it. and also shows him
with his sleeves rolled up with a gavel
in his hand as president of the Com
mercial Club. On the right hand side
shows him chairman of the Committee
on Public Morals, leaning on a bar
drinking soft drinks; shows him at
work irrigating. Another picture
shows him running as fast as possible
for Lieut.. Governor. The article below
the picture was very complimentary
and we can say that it's all true and
Mr.. Ferguson deserves the write up.

Why NOT TRY II?

The following is taken from the
Reno journal of last week and we
would suggest that the farmers of this
section try the suggestion of that pa
per:
Lincoln county will soon be as famous
for eantaloupes as Rockyford, Colo.
The farmers in this part of the state
are reaping $50 profit an acre from
the luscious melons, and hundreds of
land owners are adding small tracts
yearly to the area already under eulfi-
walton.
The quick returns from cantaloupes
and the ease with which they are
marketed since the establishment Of
refrigerator car service through the
southern country promise to develop
the industry into one of the most inn
portant in Nevada.
In dry-farmed lands the cantaloupes
have been successful, but now that the
aplipcation of water has been tried, ei-
lOi - diC DNAiiB ilidAtC " II ate iNaA-
er territory and make the annual crop
correspondingly larger.
According to United States agricul-
tural experiments, the proper soil for
the cultivation of cantalaupes is sandy
loan mixed with organic matter and nj
trogen. Dry sunny climate in arid or
semi-arid country IS the proper condi-
tion for the greatest success with this
melon.
1t has been suggested that the own
ers Of irrigated farms in fertile Chur-
chill county, try the extensive cultiva-
tion of cantaloupes, and it is probable
that before another season passes.
progressive farmers there viii have
started a campaign that will supply the
local market and leave an abundance
of the product for shipment to the for
eign selling agencies.

The Lawyers Won't Object

The following letter and bill has been
received by US from Richard Rustud of
Searchlight, Nevada:
Searchlight, Nevada, Jan. rs, 1908.
Editor Tonopah Sun.
Sir:-The experience of the writer
has thoroughly convinced him that some
Legislation along the lines of the en-
closed bill is much needed in this state
for the better protection of the wage
earners generally, and especially the
mine workers.
From the opportunity have had of
broaching this to other practicing at
torneys. | am satisfied that the bar as
a whole, of the state, will favor such
bill.
If the legislation proposed by this
bill meets with your approval, on be-
half of the wage earners of the state,
the writer asks the support of yourself
and your paper in securing its passage
at this session of the legislature.
Respectfully yours,
Richard Busteed.

The SutrO Tunnel Blaze.

Last Thursday evening a fire was
discovered in the Sutro tunnel at Vir-
ginia City and before it could be placed
under control 15 men became uncon-
seious from struggling in the deadly
gases that came from the burning tim
bers. In all there were about 700 feet
of timber shafting burned and the es-
timated loss is nearly $4,000. The
fire burned for nearly "a hours before
it was extinguished. AS soon as the
news that fire was discovered in this
mine became known all the stocks in
the Virginia City district dropped and
many were sold at whatever they
would bring.

Returns from Collecting Licenses

Lee Wightman, county sheriff, and
Charley Wightman, county assessor,
returned the latter part of last week
from a two weeks trip in the hills
hunting up bands of sheep and collect
ing the regular license on them. They
travelled from the county line near
Rawhide to the boundary line near Lam
der county and in their travels they
found approximately 100000 head of
sheep, most of which were found in the
ranges east of Fallon. between White
Cloud and Wonder Many bands We're
found that had been in the county but
few days before the license collectors
found them.
Considerable revenue was received
from this source for the county and the
Messrs. Wightman deserve much credit

Weather collecting these licenses.

Commercial Club Meeting

The Fallon Commercial Club held its
regular meeting Tuesday night and the
following communication was ordered
written to the county's delegation in
the State Legislature:
81 have the honor to communicate to
yet the action taken last night by the
Fallon Commercial Club on two matters
of considerable Importance.
1t was moved and carried that it is
the sense of this Club in full meeting
assembled that inasmuch as Churchill
County is the leading agricultural coun-
ty of the State, together with import
ant mining interests, and that whereas
the Governor is very shortly to appoint
three commissioners to the Yukon
Exposition at Seattle, therefore it is
most fitting that one representative
should be credited to Churchill County,
and Churchill Coanty's representatives.
in the Legislature are respectfully urg
ed to use such influence as they can
with the Governor of the State to APP
point one of the said representatives
from Churchill County and the secre-
tary is hereby directed to forward
copy of this resolution to each repre-
sentative of Churchill County in the
Legislature.
1t was further moved and carried
t,ot IL fo sta 6r,,, ,o,, .,;osfop af L1oIlap
Commercial Club in full meeting assem-
bled that Il is impossible for the settler
of the Truckee-Carson project to sue
eeed in establishing himself under the
present system of payments of ten
equal installments beginning with the
time of fling on his land and further
that it Is the firm conviction of the
Club that more equal terms of payment
will more quickly return the moneys
expanded to the Reclamation fund.
Therefore the Fallon Commercial Club
unites strongly in recent petition of
the Truckee-Carson Farmers Associa-
tion to the Representatives, Of Churchill
County in the Nevada State Legisla-
ture praying them to endeavor to get
passed resolutions memorislizing Con-
gress urging certain graduated scale
OF payments for the construction char
ges on the lands Under the Truckee-
Carson project and the secretary is
hereby directed toimmediately forward
to each Representative of Churchill
County a copy of this resolution.
These matters are so well understood
by Churchill County's Representatives
that | judge no further remarks what
ever are necessary.
Respectfully yours,
FALL0N COMMERCIAL CLUB,
E. P. Osgood, Sec'y.
