WILL BUILD A STRUCTURE
For the Truckee Canal Waters.
Concrete Structure Will
Cost $35,O00.

Plans of the near future having to do
with this project include the installation
of concrete structure to serve the
waters of the Truckee canal in their
precipitous fall of 120 feet from the
canal proper to the Carson river bed,
which conducts the irrigation waters
for several miles to the Carson diversion
dam. where they are diverted into the

serves the purpose. but its tenure of
life at best is short, and there is con-
tinual danger of giving way. in which
event great damage might be inflicted.
1t is at this point that the power
generating plants will be installed and
the awarding of a ten-year contract to
the Wonder Mining Company may
have something to do with the decision
of the department to install the con-
crete chute.
In the meantime, Manager j. B.
Daniels, representing the awardees of
the power privileges says that every
thing will be put in motion soon and
that he is looking for representatives
of his company to arrive any day, and
upon their arrival here, the line will be
run and preparations made for the
early installation of the Wonder power
line.

Fa;rview and Wonder on Eve
of a New Period of
Activity.

For the first time in more than two
wears. things are looking up in the
Churchill county mining camps. Fair
view and Wonder, both of which had
meteoric careers and fourished after
the fashion of boom camps and later
slumped, are again attracting mining
capital. Wonder has been made the
seat of operations that are extensive
and will be prosecuted without inter-
mission by the Wonder Mining Com
pany, strong corporation financially,
while Fairview will be the scene of ex-
tensive work during times to come.

view Eagle were consolidated. Back
of the deal are the heaviest operators
in Nevada, headed by George Wing
field, of Goldfield Consolidated fame.

Rice, j. A. Kirby, j. T. Hodson, w.

tors and cyanide plant. The exact
capacity has not yet been decided upon,
but will be at ouce.
Exhaustive tests have been made
and it has been found that ores of the
type in these properties may be
worked up to s2 per cent. Ample water
has been developed Tor milling purposes.
In the two properties over million
dollars worth of ore has been developed
and ready to be hoisted. Six thousand
tons of ore. averaging f32 to the ton,
is on the dump, awaiting the mill De-
velopment work is progressing in both
mines and as soon as work begins up.
on the mill, increased depth will be
attained rapidly.
Beneath the water level there is
quantity of high standard ore in the
form of primary sulphides, showing
permanency and continuation to
great depth of the splendid values
found on the surface and in the older
workings.

OWEN IS FOR DIRECT VOTE
SPEAKS FOR PoEULAR ELECTION
OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.
Oklahoma Senator Makes Convincing
Argument Which is Supplemented
by Beveridse.

Washington, June Popular cleo
ton of United States senators was
given new impetus by convincing
argument in favor of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment, delivered by
Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Owen reinforced his argument
with an array of facts that gave a
chronological history of the efforts
in the past to enact the resolution for
which he is now standing sponsor
His speech contained the most COM
plete historical review of legislation
In the two houses Of congress and ac-
ton by various state legislatures ever
compiled, all tending to show the
trend of sentiment favorable to a
change in existing methods but lack
ing only in the essential of concurrent
action on the part OF both houses of
congress @ .
When Mr.. Owen had concluded Mr.
Beveridge spoke briefly. approving
what had been said and calling at
tention to the fact that both parties
in Indiana had declared in favor of
election OF senators by the people.
The question. Mr. Beyeridse said, was
not partisan one in any sense
