Will REDUCE ITS
own H|CH-CRADE

The National Mining Company Of
Nevada has moved its general Offices
from Goldfieid to National, and work
on their properties is being pushed in
vigorous manner. Secretary George
Pelton and Superintendent r. 8.
Bolam made trip to Reno to eat their
Thanksgiving turkey, but returned to
Winnemucca yesterday morning and
left for the mine during the forenoon.
Three 250-foot blocks ON the north
end of the property hove been leased
one to Hyde and associates, another to
M. E. HALEY, while the names Of the
parties leasing the third block have not
been made public.
During the past two or three weeks
large amount Of machinery has been
hauled into camp and placed in posi-
tion at the mine. At tunnel No. there
has been installed a gasoline engine,
dynamo and suction fan, while at tun-
mel No. reduction plant has been
eStdDll5ueQ CO uduui6 al HlXu -BTduo
produced at the mine. The works,
which are now ready to start up at any
time consist of crusher and pulveriz
er, smelling furnace, etc., and has a
capacity of about ton day. Only
high grade ore will be handled.
In conversation with representative
of the Silver State regarding the camp
and its possibilities, President John s.
Pelton, of the National Mining Com
pany of Nevada, said:
"National now presents the appear
ance Of being well established mining
camp. / should say there was now a
population of from $50 to 400, with at
least 100 miners on the various pay
rolls. In addition to this number, of
course, there are many miners and
prospectors at work on their own prop
critics."

LARGE CROWD EN-
JOYS GOOD SHOW

1t seemed as though section OF
1.-THE Frozen North" had been trans
ported to our peaceful town, when the
curtain at the Nixon opera house rose
ON "The Spoilers" last evening. The
immense and intelligent audience was
kept on the qui vive and there was no
dimunition of interest throughout the
finely staged and admirably acted play.
To the many to whom the story was
unfamiliar, the lack of programs was
something of drawback, but even
they soon grasped the thread of the
play, which deals principally in the
direful straits for which the greed and
lure of gold will lead men and women.
The love interest runs like thread of
melody through the whole play and
when the long suffering heroine falls
into the arms of the hero, whose prop
erty she has been istrumental in saving,
there was an audible sigh of relief
from all over the house.
AS is usual in plays of this character
the mortality was somewhat alarming,
but perhaps no greater than the situa-
tions warranted.

JEFF Is
A SURE WINNER
Especial to Silver Stste.)

SPOKANE, WASH, Nov. 27.--Jeff-
ries will give johnson q worse beating
than he did that boy from whom he
won his first fight down in Los Angeles
in 1887, when ne scored in three
rounds and carried home purse Of
$3.50. His next fight may take longer,
but it will net him ten thousand times
more money!
This is the opinion Of John Webb, .
business man of Spokane, until recent,
ly Of Butte and before that Q resident
Of Los Angeles, who claims to be the
pugilistic father Of the ex-boilermaker.
"Jeff demurred at first when we IN
vited him to the boxing club for . try
out with some of the boys" Webb
continued, "but he was finally prevail
ed upon for go and won easily. He
put his opponent out in short order in
the second fight, and it took more than
10 minutes to revive the loser. His
work became the talk Of the town ami
soon got to the boys family, who,
though poor, were proud and did not
relish the idea of developing fighter.
Zone of his two sisters, now married
to business men Of Los Angeles, came
to my store a short time after the
second fight and drove me out Of the
back door with broom, saying that
her family resented our activities in
trying to make a pugilist out Of the
boy. But when we became better ac-
quainted there was many . hearty
laugh over our first meeting.
"When Corbett and Fitzsimmons
were matched, JEFF was taken on ~ q
sparring partner by the former on my
recommendation. In the first round
JEFF knocked Corbett down and then
jumped through the ropes, saying he
might kill the champion. However, he
went back when it was explained that
he was to let Carbett do the punching,
saying: l can whip Corbett now and
IN be able to lick Fitz in two years.
The rest is history.

WOOD
FROM DECAYINC

Next to checking the waste from for
|est fires, wood preservation through
chemical treatment has come to be con-
sidered perhaps the most important
phase of forest conservation. To
lengthen the life Of wood will lessen
the drain on the forests and consequent
ly postpone the exhaustion of the coun-
try's timber supply. In speaking of the
progress and the value of the work, w.
F. Sherfesee in a new bulletin publish
|eds-by the United States forest service
says:
"Not only does the preservative
treatment of timber bring about di-
rect saving to the individual timber
user, but the general adoption of such
measures means very great saving to
the timber resources of the nation as a
whole. At the present rate of consump
tion the exhaustion of the supply of the
better class of structural timbers in the
United States is thing Of the very
near future. Even the cost of fence
posts is becoming IN ever-increasing
burden upon the farmer and stockman.
"The principal agents which destroy
structural timber are decay, fire, in
sects, marine borers and mechanical
abrasion. Of these, the first is far
more important than all the others put
together. It is well known that the
quality Of timber in general use is de-
teriorating each year, SO much SO in
many respects as to cause . complete
revision in the specifications for grad
ing. This Is due chiefly to the par
tial exhaustion of the better grades,
which has forced the utilization Of the
poorer qualities. This deterioration in
quality naturally results in decreased
length Of life, which in turn compels q
larger annual cut Of timber.
"The enormous amount Of nearly
ten billion board feet Of structural tim
mer 10 destroyed each year in the
United States; and Of this amount
nearly eight billion, or eighty-one Per
cent, is due to decay. That much Of
this timber can be saved by proper
methods can readily be shown. IF an
the timber were treated which It is
practicable to treat and which could
be treated at profit, nearly six billion
feet board measure, or over sixty per
cent, could be saved. This saving would
represent the annual growth on twenty
million acres of well-stocked timber
land.
"Wood preservation, while import
ant in it's broad national aspect, Is of
direct personal Importance to every
user of timber which is expected to de-
cay or insect attack; for by lessening
the cost of maintaining his fences, his
telephone line, or his track, it means
a direct saving in dollars and cents" "

CONGRESS TO TAKE
UP Pure FOOD Law

When congress meets in December,
one of the questions to be thrashed out
will undoubtedly be the revision of the
pure food laws to meet the demands of
the general body of consumers for still
further improvements in the methods
in vogue in many food factories.
One of the points overlooked in the
original act was the treatment of
peaches and apricots in canning plants.
1t is the practice of many canneries to
immerse. peaches in a boiling solution
of caustic soda and allow the fruit to
stew in this chemical until the skins of
the fruit are eaten loose. The fruit is
then put through several washings un-
til the skins are washed away. This
process is about q cent and half or
two cents a can cheaper than peeling
by knife. Those who are calling atten-
tion to this chemical treatment say
that the use OF the lye is not the worst
feature of the process, but contend that
in order to use this cheap peeling pro-
cess it is necessary to use green and un-
ripe fruit for canning. Ripe fruit will
not stand the lye-process but becomes
discolored and disintegrated in the
caustic soda The little flavor which
the unripe peaches have is killed by the
lye treatment so that the result is q
woody, tasteless, canned peach which
depends for flavor on the syrup which
is added in the canning process.
The way to tell lye-peeled peach is
to wash away the syrup and then taste
the fruit. If it is tasteless and pulpy
the chances are it is lye-peeled peach.
In the several washings to which the
peach is subjected after it is peeled by
I've. most of tie chemical is undoubted-
ly washed away but if any of it is
left the consumer gets it with his fruit.
Congress did not mention this subject
in the pure food laws, consequently the
Gamers who use this method are not
compelled to state the fact on their
labels. The present agitation has for
its purpose the enactment of meas
ure to remedy this defect.
If this movement proves successful
every canner will have to state on his
label if the peaches he used were peel
ed by caustic soda or any other chemi-
cal That of course will put the ques-
tion right up to the consumer. IT they
would as soon eat fruit which has been
soaked in I've they can do 50. Many
Of course will prefer to have their fruit
handled in the good old fashioned
kitchen way. by knife-peeling, which
also means much for the quality of can
ned fruit by keeping intact the original
fruit flavor.
The last two years have seen great
advance in the methods used in vari-
ons eanneries and with the new law
still further advance in the direction of
wholesome production will be assured.
When the processes employed in can
neries are known to be perfectly whole
some there will be greater use of
canned fruits and the final result will
be profitable for all concerned, includ-
ing the farmer who will get greater
market for his product.
