part of the State where he has been
inspecting a number of reclamation
projects Salt Lake People have made
application for $4,000 acres of land in
Lincoln County under the provisions
of the Carey Act and the State En-
ineer has been making an inspection
Of the locality as regards the amount
of water available for irrigation.
Another big project that has been
inspected by the State Engineer is
the reclamation of thousands Of acres
of land in Nye County by the Amar-
gosa Land and Water Company. The
land to be reclaimed is also controlled
by the provisions of the Carey Act
and the first unit represents 10000
acres. The water to be used for if
rigation will be secured from springs
and will be pumped onto the lands
by electric pumping plants. If the
water supply proves to be what is ex-
pected additional land will be applied
for until the holdings of the company
aggregate $1,000 acres.
This project is being carried on 80
miles to the south of Rhyolite and the
holdings of the company will extend
to within about two miles of the Call
fornia line.
This big company is composed of

Money Derived From Both State
and County Insufficient to Pay
Cost of Maintaining the Schools
of Ormsby County. Special Tax
Will Probably be Levied

In another column of this issue Will
be found a notice stating that all
moneys owed by the various school
districts up to this day will be PAID
by applying to the Treasurer OF
Ormsby County.
This payment has become possible
from the fact that the State has
made it's semi-annual apportionment
of school moneys to the various coun-
ties and this county has received It's
pro rata in the amount of $3,564.65
The money appropriated by the
State Is supposed to pay the salaries
of the teachers of the four districts
of this county for the first six months
of the present year. AS it now stands
the school fund Of this county has
been depleted for the past months
and at the present time there are
warrants to the amount OF S3OOS.3o
standing out against the State ttnd
and s554.66 against the county fund.
II will easily be seen that after
these warrants are paid balance OF
but 81 so will remain to meet the eX-
penses for the next six months. But
TO be added to this amount is the
county apportionment to the school
fund which will amount to $3,241.65
This amount Is supposed to be used
ONLY for contingent expenses and the
maintaining Of the school property,
but can, If absolutely necessary, be
used to pay the salaries of the teach
ers
The salaries to be met for teachers
monthly amounts to $1,291.7o and a
reasonable figure for maintenance Is
$3.50 montaly or total of $1,541.7o
After the county apportionment has
been made and this added to the sum
of $17O.45 now on hand in all the
funds it will be seen that there Will
be only enough money to run the
schools for two months, and that 1t
will be a case Of the teachers dis
counting their warrants monthly 10
get their salaries.
Owing to a reduction to the tax
rate In the state the moneys to be ap-
portioned this year to the various
school funds of the state was about
$4,000 less than las year and as a
result this county comes out some

shy in the apportionment made by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
In speaking of the matter tais after
noon State Controller Eggers stated
that two counties in the state had not
been able to make their accounting
with the state in time to allow an ap-
portionment from the moneys from
these counties to be inluded in the
sum to be allowed for the support of
the schools of the state. This, he
stated, would have made very little
difference in the final allowance per
census child.
the main feature to be considered"
said Mr.. Eggers," is he reduction in
the state tax as provided by law,
which naturally brings down the
amount allowed by the state for the
support of the schools and the same
will probably be still further reduced
as the tax rate is decreased"
Mr. Deadly, Secretary Of the Board
was seen this afternoon and stated
tat the board was doing everything
in its power to straighten out the
matter satisfactorily. The board has
taken up couple of propositions and
hope that the present mixup can be
cleared shortly

preparations Of both county and state

ate this schoo! with. This means
that the teachers warrants for the
next four months can be paid. Af-
ter that the warrants will be issued
and those holding them can have them
discounted if they need the money or
wait until the next apportionment is
made the coming July. Some of the
funds belonging to the local district
are tied up in the bank hut even if
these were paid the schools would be
unable to run along on a cash basis
until the end of the present term.
The whole thing will probably re,
suit in a special tax being levied in
this county for the support of the
schools to the additional amount need
ed above the moneys derived from the
state and county taxes.

LIVE OAK MAKING
 GOOD HEADWAY
Six Working Faces Steadily Advancing Through Com
 mercial Ore

According to the headway being made in the work of installing the large air compressor at the Live Oak mine, this machinery should be in operation dur ing the latter part of this week. Prac- tically the only work to be done to ac- complish this is the installation of the boilers and the connecting of the pipes.
 Four drifts and two raises being driv- en at present will be continued with air drills, but the intention is to start other raises from the third level at the functions of the various drifts west of the main one which connects with the shaft and the Sulphide tunnel.
 The tramming will continue to be done through this tunnel and the air pipes will also enter the mine through this adit, which is twelve hundred feet long. The six working faces have been advanced for the past week in dissem- mated chalcocite of uniform copper content avera.sng 2.6 per cent. These workings extend from drift No. BOG westward, the raises only being put up from this drift. Drift No. 30S is 312 feet long; BIO measures 23S feet and southwest drifts Nos. 311 and 313 are respectively 150 feet and T feet long

Fighting Pests

Everyone has at some time or other seen figures which were intended to convey some idea of the destructive. ness and consequent loss in dollars and cents, of various pests which the farmer has to contend with. According to the agricultural department the chinch bug, (Blissus leucopterus), has been the most destructive of all. The cotton boil wea- vil the potato bug, the tobacco worm, the common locust, rust, smut and in numerable other pests have caused vast damage, but the chinch bug is the prize pest of all. It seems to thrive as well as in the regions below sea level, like the semi-tropical Imperial valley in southeastern California; that modern rival of the Nile valley where cotton and dates thrive, beside alfalfa and barley) as in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, or in other localities 5000 feet above sea level. There are, fortu- nately, two natural checks to this de- structive bug which has laid low its millions of cartes of grain and corn. One of these is vegetable fungus and the other is plenty of rain during the matching season. Fighting the pest by fire and kerosene emulsions has been successful, and crude oil placed in deep furrows has been efficacous. One of the best methods of warfare has been to burn off all waste and patches of weeds along the roadsdes, so that cleanliness in warm cultivation will net tue farmer good returns even as clean liness in the ordinary affairs of life will promote the general hygiene. When it is generally understood that there is real money value in keeping back yards, fence corners and uncultivated tracts clear of weeds and refuse so that the chjnch bugs cannot hibernate safe ly in them, the appearance of the "waste places" will be greatly i'm proved.

distance from the present face of the south crosscut will bring the work into the locality in which the Old Domin- ion vein is assumed to lie at the 800 foot level. The hardness of the for nation, however, makes tho advance so slow that the question of the feasibility of exploring this vein by means-of sec ond shaft is still debated one among the directors. The 300 feet driven in each direction from the Telfair shaft have passed through ground of excep- tional hardness for the entire distance with the exception of only few feet where an occasional slip gave access to the water seepage.

SULLIVAN SUSPENDS
 DEVELOPMENT
Work on Cordova Property Will Await Churn Drill
 Prospecting

On the Eureka group of claims of the Cordova Copper company, located in the Miami mining district and adjoin ing the Miami, New Keystone and Live Oak properties, operations on the Sul ivan shaft, on the east end of the group have been suspended for the present, while the chur ndrill work is Tn progress.
 At the first Churn drill location near the Jennie shaft, about 300 feet of sulphide ore was drilled through and the hole now being sunk at a point 800 feet east of the first location is 225 feet deep and from the sixty-foot point has been in ground carrying consider able chalcocite. The results of the drill work on the Eureka group thus far have been most encouraging and at the pres ent rate of development, by means of churn drills which has become so popu' lar in the Miami district, the Cordo, Va property should be proven of consid. erable value, from mineraloglcal standpoint, within the next few months

SUPERIOR B GLOBE FAILING WATER Recent Increase in Flow Is Being Satisfactorily
 Taken Care Of

A slight increase in the water seep- age in the north crosscut from the 650- foot level of the Superior & Globe shaft has caused some additional building dur ing the past week. This increase is due to the encountering of faulted ground at distance of 235 feet from the shaft, accompanied by an appar- ent alteration of the diabase and the occurrence of considerable iron oxide through a length of five or six feet. A large boiler, however, will be added to the hoisting equipment within few days, and no further difficulty is ex- pected, for the time being, at least. In case of any great increase in the flow, steps will be taken to afford bet ter means of conveying the water to the surface. As no water has appeared south of the shaft, it will probably be some time before pump will be neces- sary to handle the water. At the pres ent distance of 230 feet from the shaft in the south crOSscut, the diabase con times dry. The occurrence of occas- iOnal quartz stringers through the for nation is an interesting feature of this part of the workings.

STORIES OF GOLF

Some of the Yarns Told in

There are nearly l,50O golf club houses in Great Britain and the Strand magazine is trying to discover the funniest of the golf stories which are told in these haunts. Andrew Lang of fers the following as his contribution:
 "A determined player got into a sand pit and for long time all that his opponent saw of him was only distin- guishable through the dense clouds of sand made by the violent action of 8 niblck.
 "At last the resolute veteran emerg- ed from the pit, and his opponent, with out expressing any surprise or con dolence or annoyance at the delay, merely asked him how many he had played. Evidently the other man was not in revealing mood.

 Plans have been made for sinking the inglecompartment prospect shaft already begun on the east end of the property to a greater depth. For use in this work, an eight-hOrsepower hoist, having buckets with capacity of 300 pounds, has been ordered and will prob ably be installed within two or three weeks. The object in getting such a small hoist is to enable the owners to pursue prospecting work on various parts of the property without being compelled to move Q large and heavy hOisting engine each time new loca- ton is decided upon.

TWO HUNDRED TONS DAILY |S BEING
 SMELTEO
Ore from Arizona Commer- cial Averaging Better
 Than 7 Per Cent

The Arizona Commercial Copper com pany is smelling over 200 tons of ore daily from the fifth and sixth levels of the mine. Since the repairs recently made in the water jackets of the fur mace, no great difficulty has been ex- perienced in keeping the shelter in op- eration and with the additional ore be- ing treated the furnace is not causing any great inconvenience to the manage ment. Ore averaging about seven per cent copper is being mined from the Black Hawk vein by means of drifts east and west from the seventy winze sunk on the vein from the sixth level. Part of the ore assays higher than seven per cent, but the occurrence of this is principally in streaks in the poorer ore. Both drifts have been driv- en nearly 200 feet from the winze Tn opposite directions, thus giving some assurance of a better copper value than was developed on the upper levels. Crosscutting from the seventh level of the Eureka shaft has not yet reached the vein, but is expected to encounter ore within the next few days. The water on the lower levels is causing some de lay in the development work, as an av- craze of 3,OOO,0OO gallons is pumped to the surface every twenty-four hours. The pumps, however, are continuing to raise the necessary volume to keep the levels fairly well drained, but with the development of any great increase at the seventh level, it is likely that a greater pumping capacity will be re. quired than is obtainable with the pres ont plant However, as this has been a common source of difficulty in the development of this mine, the manage ment will, in all probability, prove equal to the occasion, as it has in the past.
