SATT LAKERS BOOM
SOUTHERN Nevada

A coterie of Salt Lake capitalists
visited southe astern Nevada this
week, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
The objective point of the members
of the party was Moapa valley, hut
there was included a visit to the
growing town of Las Vegas on tn.
Salt Lake route.
In speaking of Las Vegas Gus.
S. Holmes said that the little city
of six years is growing to mans
estate. The shops that are being
built by the railroad running
through and converging to Goldfield
and other important points in Ne
vada are having a healthy effect,
in the line of progress. The work
being done by the railroads will be
the means of increasing the
population of that little city-in
some :res pect delightful-at least
1000 within the next few months.
The visitors to the Moapa valley
this side Of Las Vegas, were
comp ,scd Of J. G. Lynch, John
Condron Mr.. Holmes and T. H
Fitzgerald. These gentlemen spent
several days in the Moapa valley il
which they are largely interested
in an inspection of winter gardens.
There they found conditions sea-
sonable for great crops. Upon
conservative computation based
upon what has been accomplished
this last year at least 500 cars
of vegetables should be shipped
to the various markets of the world
in 1911 the members of the party
say. One Of the visitors said:
Just think of it! / never saw
anything like it in my life When
we were in the valley we saw the
seventh crop of lucerne being cut
and further revelation to us was
the harvesting Of the third crop of
Kaffir corn-a strong and healthy
yield"
Land" said another of the
party twill produce from $4OO to
$1,000 worth Of fruit and vegetables
an acre. You may take the
cantaloupe. There is nothing that
excells It notg1 even the famous
Rocky Ford. 1.-The Moapa can
taloupe Is becoming famous the
world around and like everything
Of excellence, there is constantly
increasing demand. This condition
Of necessity always will obtain for
the reason that tie area of
production is limited while the
demand yearly is on the increase"
1t was the consensus of opinion
that Moapa valley, 80 close to
Salt Lake City and Los Angeles
will become the garden spot of the
west.

involved. but its uses are gradually
being demonstrated to the various
managers and miners of our city
and for the first time we realize
that sometimes the impossible may
be accomplished. John T. Overbury
representing the Globe Chemical
Works of San Francisco has for
the last week been quietly conduct
ing series of demonstration in
our larest mines before the various
managers, foremen and miners.
The new mechanical compound is
composed of four chemicals COM
bined and mixed in such way that
when sealed in a cartridge and
loaded in the bottom of any drill
hole with the usual charge of
powder. absolutely neutralizes the
dangerous and unpleasant nitro
glvcerine fumes thrown off by any
powder which results in sickness
and headaches so frequently.
Successful tests have been given
in practically all of our largest
mines and the verdict of managers
and men alike has been:' 1T does
the work" In all tests where from
20 to 40 pounds of powder have
been used it has been fully
demonstrated that it is possible
to walk directly into the drift or
crosscut within five minutes with
out any effect from gas, and with
little smarting of the eyes or
burning of the throat. The smo Ike
from the fuse. etc. is still present
after the explosion, but greatly
clarified, and changed from dirty
yellow to clear white.
This undoubtedly will prove a
great boon to all miners, as it
positively removes all the bad effects
which cause headaches and nausea.
The purpose of the compound is
simply to overcome the acids
thrown off by all nitro-gycerine
powders. The action takes place
so quickly that the nitro gases are
overcome before becoming i'm
bedded in the much. DR.. Sanborn,
practical chemist of this state
and San Francisco is the inventor,
and we wish him every success
AS a result of these tests
conducted in the various mines of
Tonopah some lof the companies
have already placed orders for
quantity Of the Fumicide. and it is
most likely that the new invention
will be in general use throughout
the mines within very short time.
A number of years ago Mr.. Over
bury was a resident of this city,
having been a member of the firm
of Oddie & Overbury. Later he
removed to Rhyolite and is now a
resident of San Francisco

A Triumph Of Engineering.

One of the greatest triumphs in the
history of engineering is the compile

direct railway travel across South
American from Buenos Ayres to Val

went by way of the Strait of Magel-

has been in process of construction
for many years, and twice the work
has been abandoned in despair. A

trains will be running early in the
