MINING COMPANY STATEMENT
The Wonder Mining Company's
Annual Statement Is High
ly Creditable.

The annual statement of the Nevada
Wonder Mining Company, covering
operations up to and including Septem-
Der 30th,. was made public last week
and diseloses a highly fattering state
OF affairs. According to this report
the amount of ore actually developed to
date Is 32,S05 tons of value of 1892.
900. Two projects already well under
way, The first unit of the mill and the
water system, have cost to date S4a,-
l68.45 and SCI. .69l. .1s respectively, and
the company's holding in the Wonder
district present busy scene these
days. Something of the solidity of
this mining company will be noted
when it is known that its assets are
50, Ill, 940S2.
Judging from present indications it
will not be long before the Nevada
Wonder is one of the states heavy
bullion tax paying properties for every
effort is being directed towards install
ling suitable plant for the working of
the tremendous body of ore that is
known to exist in their mineral ground.

The Nevada Sugar Company's under
taking, Nevada's greatest industrial
enterprise, is being added to day by
day. Already in the face of numerous
handicaps this company has succeeded
in bringing the gigantic buildings that
will house the machinery to state of
completion that is past the fifty per
cent mark. To go out and view the
work encompassed to date isa revelation
to the man who has not watched closely
the trend of Nevada Sugar Company
affairs. Indeed the observer may be
excused il he gasps in astonishment,
for wonders have been accomplished
Quietly and unostentatiously, General
Manager Hinze and his corps of as
sistants have labored from day to Gay
until now definite shape has been given
to the undertaking; the buildings are
defined in all instances by partially or
wholly completed walls, and much Of
the structural steel has been put in
place. Concrete foundations and piers
have been installed in workmanlike
manner, and in two brickyards near
the factory are more than one and one-
half million fine light colored brick, a
number more than sufficient to COM
plete the walls Of the buildings that
will comprise the sugar factory.
Of the various buildings, the lime
kiln. machine shop ard boiler house are
practically completed. The lime kiln
is 81 feet by 49 feet in dimensions; the
machine shop az feet by 40 feet and
boiler house III feet by 40 feet II is
noteworthy that these buildings are all
of sufficient size TO accommodate the
necessary working machinery for a
factory Of 750 tons daily capacity, al
though present plans call for the in
stallation of of a 500-ton equipment by
the Nevaia Sugar Company.
The structural steel tower of the
lime kiln can now be seen from most
points in this valley. as it rears itself
something like 10 feet in the air. The
lime kiln itself will be so feet above
the ground.
The main structure, which includes
the warehouse and manufacturing
rooms, will be 407.7 feet by 10 feet in
size. OF the length 175 feet will be
three stories in heighth, while Ill feet
will be made five stories in heighth.
The foundation for this structure is
all installed and much Of the brick
work has been completed. Already
ten carloads Of cement have been used
in the work of building the factory,
while twenty cars more will be required
TO complete the reinforced concrete
floors that will support the heavy ma
chinery, some pieces of which weigh
twenty tons. And while the cement

and continued his law studies in the
office of the late Judge Clark. He re-
moved to Churchill county and taught
school. He was elected to three terms
in the Legislature.
In 1889 he removed to Wadsworth
and three years later was elected to
the Nevada assembly. In 1900 he was
chosen district attorney and removed
with his family to Reno. Four
years ago he was chosen district judge
of the Second judicial district.
In 1873 the deceased was married 10
Miss Ida M. Kenyon of Churchill eoun-
ty, who survives him. Seven children
were born to them-Pearl, wife of DR..
Kisller. Leroy F., Francis, Gertrude,
Winfield c., and w. II. A. Jr., the las I
named being familiarly kno gn as Jack.
Judge Pike was member Of tie

THE NEVADA SUGAR COMPANY.
Is Going Steadily Ahead; The Magnificent
Buildings Are One-HaIf Completed And
Will Be Ready For The Machin-
Early Next Spring.

and brick men have been working, the
carpenters have not been idle. The
wood workers have kept pace with their
fellows and their work is noted in the
main building, where practically all
windows have been installed and about
all that remains for them to do is to
put in place the 1000 feet of wooden
n onfg three inches thick by Il inches
in width, that will be required to cover
the buildings. This lumber is now on
the ground. With the completion of
the factory, which according to present
plans will be sometime along next
spring, the installation of the machinery
will occupy the attention of the factory
mechanics. Much of this machinery is
already purchased; in fact, the greater
part Is already part of the Nevada
Sugar Company's chattels, though
there still remains to be purchased
several expensive parts, which must
come from abroad.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
undertaking may be had when it is
known that twenty cars of structural
steel will be required in factory bull
ding, and machinery to the amount of
about 100 carloads will compose the
manufacturing end of the sugar enter
prise.
Now, this article has touched super
fcially upon the work that has been
accomplished up to the present time by
those behind the Nevada Sugar Com
pany. These men have shown deepest
confidence in the county and the state
by bravely engaging in an undertaking
of great scope, entailing large expen-
diture of money, when from the very
nature of things they are pioneers in
an industry that will quickly become
of state wide Importance. Like most
other meritorious enterprises the Ne
vada Sugar Company is largely, al
though not altogether, dependent upon
llc otdtC . lOl QuiNh NOIl-
pletion. The citizens of this county
have responded in most cases public
spiritedly and to that degree that must
be characterized as unselfish. Still
there are those who have been apathe-
tic and who do not realize the great i'm
portance of the undertaking, nor the
relation it will bear to our future pros
perity.
Nevada citizens generally should in.
vestiaate the enterprise and If they
find itworthy of their approval, The:
should take the broad view that nothing
should be left undone that will tend tc
increase the success of the Nevada
Sugar Company, for in due course Of
time, t will be supplemented by other
like Enterprises in Nevada's fertile
valleys. where an incalculable amount
of ugsr lies now in the soils.

VALLEYS PROGRESS IS GOOD
Trip Over Valley Will Disclose
Much Material Progress Is
Being Made By Settlers.

Go out over this valley in any direc-
tion and note the rapid and constant
growth. Last Thursday the editor of
this paper drove south by way of the
j. c. Whipp homestead, which is as
prolific in production as the Oldest deed
ed land in the valley, belieing the term
"homestead;" thence west to st. Clair
and north to the Theelan ranch, from
where we came to town. Between St.
Clair and the Carson river much i'm
provement is being instituted, among
which is the erection of a handsome
five-room home by DR.. C. E. Smith,
who is also leveling land for new seed
ing. Will and Charley johnson arc
also increasing their annual hay pro-
duction, while to the west of them,
G. E. Babb has succeeded in getting
in alfalfa acreage that sends up tower
ing stacks of nutritive hay so invit-
ing in character to the bovine, that it
is willing to be slaughtered for the
market, in return for the privilege of
standing within eating distance for q
period of month or two
We also noted the Soda Lake district
school building, recently built, just
north of the Ahern homestead. The
schoolhouse is commodious and COM
Portable and is ample for the districts
needs for some time to come. This
school district is one of the county's
newest, and its trustees are laboring
with problems incumbent upon getting
first-class school in running order,
but success will attend their efforts.
The most noticeable feature of trip
through the valley is the tremendous
amount of alfalfa hay now in the stack.
And trim stacks too, they are. This
hay is largely sold for stock feeding
purposes, but many have refrained
from selling, preferring to hold for the
spring market, which they guess will
be higher than the figures offered this
fall.

Many Turkeys Shipped From Churchill
County This Year

More turkeys have been shipped from
this valley this month for the outside
Thanksgiving market than ever before.
Together with the Fernley and Hazen
districts, nearly twenty-five tons have
been shipped to date. Among the
principal local shippers this year were
the Fallon Slaughtering & Supply Com
pany and w. r. Robrecht. A great
many of the birds were shipped from
Hazen and Fernley, although Fallon is
the largest shipper. The raising of
turkeys has been found to be highly
profitable vocation by the farmers of
this project.

The editor of this paper drove through
the district between Northam and Ha-
zen, commonly referred to as the
"bench district" where c. G. Swingle,
Hazen's efficient Justice of the peace,
is making pronounced success. On
this frostless bench, where the growing
seasons are at least month longer in
duration than along the lower levels of
this valley, lie thousands upon thousands
of acres of fine, level land, inviting the
homeseeeker to put forth BODYBUILDING
endeavor. Failures in considerable
number have been made there In times
past it is true, but these are all attri-
butable in large measure to unfamiliari-
ty with the proper methods to pursue
to successfully cultivate the land. This
district is exposed to the winds, which
sweep across the bench at times
of the year, and their severity is SO
great that newly seeded land, If not
kept very wet, elbows out" Mr..
Swingle has adopted fall seeding as the
time when winds do not prevail and he
is getting an acreage of alfalfa that
promises to make him independent.
He cut more than 80 tons of hay during
the last season from tract slightly
over seven acres in extent. This ton
mage was secured from four cuttings.

pointment to serve cut the unexpired
term of the late Judge w. II. A. Pike.
There were many applications for
