SCISSORS book is about twice MS
great as that of dogs. A conserva-

that at least $1,000 per year should

CropSoms
Damaged
by Rain

The rain storm of last week and
the week before, it is learned did
considerable damage to hay in the
valleys of the lower country. Much
was on the ground when the pro-
longed storm set in and farmers were
unable to get it up or to dry it dur
ing the brief intervals of sunshine.
One heavy crop was cut earlier in
the year and put safely in stacks.
This first cutting was of better grade
and more abundent in yield than
in several years. 1t represents a
good many thousands of dollars to
the farmers.
The last cutting was by no means
entirely lost through the rain, a
large tonnage being safely put up.
That which was damaged will be
useful on the ranches in feeding
stock on the ground, as it has not
been harmed sufficiently to prevent
immediate use.

vENTILATING NINE WORKINGS.

The schemes for aiding the ventila-
tionSof a tunnel or shaft in out of
the witty places are. to say the least,
interesting, and often effective. In
a shaft the prospector often builds
fire at one end on the bottom. This
is especial efficient in a two-compart-
ment shaft when the timbers are
close down. A little sheet iron stove
with a long chimney to the surface
is an Improvement over the open
fire. Sails are sometimes rugged to
defect the wind down a sheet iron
pipe to the shaft bottom.
Ventilation at tunnel faces is help
ed by a simple sheet iron pipe fitted
with an elbow at the portal and hav-
ing a vertical length of pipe set in
the elbow. A small stove may be in
at the elbow, which draws air
the drive and uses the vertical
pipe as a smoke stack. Small wood
en- fans are fitted with footpower at
tachments like that used on grind
stones.

reduction in the leading, but with

each page carries one-third more
matter than formerly, and the new
edition with 1900 pages, contains
one-half more matter than the pre-
ceding editions, which had 1928
pages.
The principal chapter of the book,
devoted to detailed descriptions of
the copper mines of the globe has
1856 pages, describing no less than
1851 copper mines and copper COM
panies in all parts of the world, COM

/ Streets For
the Winter

] P Rumbaugh with a grading
outfit has been making some marked
improvements around the Nevada
Northern depot the last several days.
A large amount of excellent material,
containing considerable cement was
dumped recently at the depot and is
now being spread around the drive
way approaches and along the plat
form. 1t will soon pack and with
the first rain will harden almost to
the consistency of macadam making
a splendid piece of work for winter
service.
East Ely streets are also UNDER
preparation for winter weather
and will very soon be in fine form.
A scraper is in service and is going
over the thoroughfares, s%urfacing
them in excellent manner. Some
weeks work of this kind is yet ahead.
When finished, East Ely will have
the best conditioned streets of any
town in the state.

Dairy Cows to
be imported
to Fin Need

The importation of a large number
of COWS for daily purposes is under
consideration by R. H. HASTE of the
Crescent Creamery and it is probable
that at early date negotiations will
be concluded for a herd of about
$50 thoroughbred animals.
These viii be placed on ranches
and with the milk produced by pres
emf stock in the large territory from
which Mr.. HASTE is drawing milk
supply for the fine quality of butter
he is outputing from the Crescent
will bring an abundant supply for
the manufacture of a sufficient sup
ply of butter for the camp, the
monthly consumption of which has
value of something like $40, 900
Importation of dairy stock has be-
come necessary in order to fill the
needs of the camp, which are much
beyond the present supply of, milk,
the Crescent being unable to secure
near enough to enable it to meet the
demands which are made upon it for
butter. Stock at the present time
in the county is almost altogether
of the beef variety and the milk
yield from this grade of cows COM
paratively small. With dairy stock
on their ranches, the farmers will
be able to more than double their
present output of milk and can then
we'll afford to enter extensively into,
the feeding of hay. Feeding of the
latter at home will be much more
profitable under these conditions
than hauling it to market.
