RANCH DEAL GOES THROUGH
The dollhouse Ranch Changes
Hands for a Considera-
ton of $4,000.

The j. c. dollhouse ranch deal,
which has been on the tapis for some
time, went through yesterday when
$4,000, half of the selling price was
formally turned over to Mr.. LIGHTHOUSE,
on behalf of the purchasers, who are
San Francisco parties but whose names
are withheld from publication through
their own requests. According to the
terms of the deal, the ranch, COM
prising 695 acres of land, of which
about $50 acres carry a recognized
vested water right, will remain in Mr..
Lofthouse's possession until fall, when
after having harvested his 1910 crop,
the remainder will be paid him and
warranty deed will issue.
1t is understood that extensive plans
are being made by the purchasers to
improve the place and that active
operations locking to this end will
commence this fall. The parties buy
ing the dollhouse place are wholly
familiar with beet culture in every
part of the country and on the occasion
of taking option, they investigated the
soil conditions of this valley and pro-
nonnced them better than anything that
had previously been observed by them.

MAY CONSTRUCT BELT LINE
Nevada Wonder Company May
Build and Operate
Electric Line.

j. b. Daniel, manager of the Won
der Mining Company will leave today
for the his company's headquarters in
Philadelphia, where he goes to confer
with his associates relative to certain
proposed innovations for this country.
Included in the topics that will be up
for discussion are the matters of build
ing the electric power line, and electric
trolley line to circle this valley and to
be operated by power developed at
the Truckee chute and the big proposed
mill for the working of ores at the
mine at Wonder.
The mill and power plant and line
will be built. Mr.. Daniel will simply
thresh out the best methods to be
pursued, etc. The electric railway
may also be built as an adjunct to the
company's settled program for the
coming season. 1t is figured that with
the completion of the sugar factory an
immense impetus will be added to local
conditions and that belt line running
from Fallon 10 the Island district
thence to Saltwater and back to Fall
Ion would pay from the day of its COM
pletion.

Camp Gregory Operations TO Resume

w. l.. Cook, manager of Camp
Gregory mining operations and a
heavy stockholder in the mining claims
there, writes from Boston that he will
soon be in Fallon and that upon his
arrival here work will again be in
stituted at Camp Gregory on larger
scale than ever. Mr.. Cook is a bona
fide mining man, seeking to develop
along legitimate lines, promising dis
trict of this county, and as result of
his gentlemanlv and business like
characteristics, is well liked by every
one whose good pleasure it has been
to come in contact with him.
With mining operations on in full
swing in every part of the county, a
repetition of the scenes of three years
ago seems highly probable.

DOUGlASS-JARVIS BANK QUITS
Closes Its Doors and PAYS Off
Its Depositors Because
1t Had No Field.

Drafts, representing the accounts of
the various depositors of the Douglass
q Jarvis bank at Fairview were mailed
out the first of this week, following
which the affairs of the bank were
closed and the institution is now out of
business. The reason given for closing
business by those interested is that
Fairvew does not present field for
banking operations, as matters now
stand.
The affairs of the bank have been
regularly closed in conformity to the
state banking laws, depositors have
been fully paid and their receipts taken
for the same.
The closing of the Douglass & Jarvis
bank leaves this county with one bank
ing institution.

Spur VIII BE Built.

Work will be commenced by the
railroad company on the spur from
town to the sugar factory site within a
short time and no time will be lost in
completing it. According to estimates
made by the construction department
of the Southern Pacific Company, it
will require at least thirty days and
no more than sixty to complete the
spur in manner to allow of the de-
livering of freight at the factory site.
Within few days the sugar com
pany and the railroad people will have
come to terms regarding the financial
end of the matter.

proprietors, who see in the condition

And not only do the merchants of

putting forward the same claims,

pIIpCHASE SUGAR MACHINERY
The Spreckles Plant at Watson
vile To Be Moved to
Fallen.

Convincing evidence that Fallon s
heet sugar plant is to be built has been
furnished by the Nevada Sugar Com
nany. whose manager. Fred Hiuze,
assisted by Thomas Dolf and c. p.
c;,ae two members of the board of
directors, closed deal last week for a
lot of beet sugar manufacturing
machinery, now in plant at Watson
vile. California. Messrs. Dolf and
cirac returned home Saturday, having
accompanied Manager Fred Hinze as
far on his way to Santa Ana as Watson
vile. and gave out the details of the
transaction.
The machinery purchased is part
of 1900 ton plant erected at Watson
vile some years back. Later, the
section developed into an exclusive
fruit growing district and horticulture
supplanted agricultural most entirely.
Confronted by this condition the
Spreekles people, who had in the mean
time DtcOHlt 1OiiFihStd VI liit iedSiDll-
ity of beet sugar manufacturing moved
into the Salinas valley, where some
thing like 10000 acres of private land
we're purchased and set aside as beet
growing acreage, and factory of 1000
tons daily capacity was installed.
This factory by the way, is the largest
beet sugar plant in the world.
The Watsonville factory machinery
was made for factory OF oue-half the
daily capacity of the Salinas valley
plant. and IL remained idle, save such
parts as could be used by the larger
plant, which were moved In the mean
time Fred Hinze had come to know of
the idle plant and of its excellent con-
dition and determined to acquire it for
use. This machinery was all made in
Germany and every part has been
thoroughly tested.
According to the terms of the agree
lment entered into by the Nevada Sugar
Company and the Spreckels representa-
tiYes, the former agrees to pay the
latter the sum of sT5, 900 upon the
delivery of the machinery aboard the
cars at Watsonville this fall. The
management OF the Nevada Sugar
Company expects to have the immense
buildings completed to point that will
allow of the installation of the ma
chinery by October lst. Some idea of
the magnitude of the deal can be known
when II is stated that the machinery
purchased will fill fifteen freight cars.
A number of the individual pieces of
machinery will require a car to trans
port them.
With brick for the factory building
going into the kilns as rapidly as workers
can place them there; with the struc-
tural steel in course of manufacture
and the machinery actually purchased
it would seem that the indomitable men
behind the Nevada Sugar Companys
project have done their part and that
the buck will soon be passed up to the
farmers of the valley. upon whom de-
wolves the success of the undertaking,
for no matter how auspiciously the
factory project may seem it cannot
hope to succeed without the unqualified
cooperation of every farmer of the
valley who has acreage that can be
given over to sugar beet culture.

stiff movement of his lips, the for
ward thrust of his head on his shout

Harry also brutal?
What she expected of Harry, a vio-
lent act or a quick relaxation of his
iron mood, she had not time to consid-
er, for the shopkeeper had moved.
He was Jerking his head, his thumb,
and finally his arm In the direction of

direction. such a singular gesture, as
to startle her with its incongruity.
What had that to do with the price of
