SCOTTY IS GOING
EAST TO SELL
A RICH Mine

LOVELoCK, New, August 27.-Chris
Matovitch, the pioneer mining man
from Black Canyon, spent a part of
TINS week IN Loveloek comforting with
his associates relative to a big sale
whieh is about to be contaminated and
which includes the best property in
the famous district. The property is

VIII at once be started on the sale.
Death Valley Seotty,' the mar of
mystery who has spent the past year
or more in the Black Canyon district.
has secured the option and from relia-
BILE source it is learned that he will 90
east at once to place the property with
some of his wealthy friends. Mr.. Ma
tovitch when interviewed regarding
the proposed sale said:
"It recently developed that Death
Valley Scotty' was aware of the fact
that fabulous values existed on our
ground and he took a lease simply for
the purpose of prospecting. He work
ed quietly and alone and no one knew
of his operations. After he had Sc
cured the option on the ground he
divulged the fact that he had en-
eountered one of the richest stringers
ever found in the state and that he
had taken out % sacks of the ORE
"The ore, some of the samples which
'Scotty' was showing around the camp,
was almost the pure gold and it is esti-
mated that the stuff will easily 90
$1,000 to the sack. This ore was TAX
en- from the Post No. / claim and the
vein from which it was taken is en-,
tirely new, never having been worked
before.
'Scotty' is going to New York and
other eastern cities and he says that
he will travel in a special train, which
will be paid for with high grade ore
from the property.
eff arrangements can be perfected
'Seotty' will leave Saturday or Sun
day and he will travel in style. He
will first go to Denver and from there
to New Orleans and his final destina-
tion being New York. He will take
two or three sacks of the nuggets with
him and will open the eyes of the peo-
pie he will meet along the route. The
specimens which 'Scotty' will carry
with him viii unquestionably be by
far the richest and prettiest ever tax
en- from the state of Nevada
In speaking of other operations IN
the district Mr.. Matovitch said that
altogether the camp looked better now
than it ever has. There and some ten
or twelve companies at work and in
most ever instance either high grade
or splendid milling values are being
opened up. He predicts a big boom
there during the next two months and
he adds that when it comes it will be
one of the biggest in the history of the
state.

Study these figures and stop quarrel
ing with the packers, the beef -barons
that word which rolls so glibly from
the tongue of the man who doesn't
know--and the cold-storage ware
houses. We are simply growing in
population faster, than we are in meat
productiveness. II we will live all
punched up together in great cities,
hundreds of miles from the points
where our food is produced. we must
pay the penalty. Cold-storage ware
houses are the only things that stand
between our cities and starvation
They are to the consumer what the
transformers are to the electric cur
rent. They regulate the fiow of food
stuffs. storing 1t up when there il
plenty, and then allowing 1t to run
out when the demand calls for II.
The packers may need regulating,
and time limits for cold storage may
be demanded in the interests OF health
but the bald fact remains that without
some such system OF marketing where
somebody stands ready to take every
thing offered, whether 1t be, train
load of old range Gamer cows from
New Mexico or thousand steers from
the corn belt feeders the stock raiser
and feede.. would quickly be forced ont
of business.
The talA about the good old times
when the little local butcher handled
the business Of your home town is as
futile and irrelevant as it would be
to bark back to the days when the
horse car lines handled all the busi-
ness on Broadway. The times change
and we certainly have changed with
the times. Besides. the meat that Die
American people are eating today is
in point OF cleanliness, healthfulness
and food fitness, Az far ahead of what
we used to get IN those good old days

rendered absolutely necessary by the
changed range conditions,
They estimated the gross investment
in sheep, lands and other ranch pro-
perty used in the business by these
eleven outfits as being equal to $12
for each sheep. In the earlier days
1t would not have been over $3.50 at
the outside. BY the same report ma
chine shearing at public plants costs
IA cents a sheep, while hand shearing
costs o cents. In the olden times the
average pay for hand shearing was
about four cents for ordinary sheep.
Unfortunately, the cattlemen as a
class have not been so progressive or
long headed as the sheep raisers and
have invested much less in lands and
improved ranches than the wool pro-
ducers: nevertheless, the investments
in these things by the cattle raisers
have added to the cost of steer raising
in the same relative value.
Where the FAULT Lies.
Looking into the number OF stock
now in the United States the estimates
published by the government on tie

why dear meats are here, and why they

able conditions. 800

jumped rapidly to $40, $40 and as high
as $50 an acre, under the impetus of
this new farming system, plus one of
the most gigantic colonization schemes
the world has seen.
To raise cattle on land valued at
such prices and make a profit was an
impossibility 1t took from fifteen to
thirty acres to raise an animal when
the grass alone was the feed, and the
land was worth more for other pur-
poses.
The natural supposftion would be
that land which had been used for rails
ing cattle, allowing thirty acres to the
animal, could, under intensive farming
operations, produce more beef per acre
than that. This is true, but 1T takes
time to make the changes. Meantime,
the number of cattle i'm the country
stood still, in fact actually decreased,
while the country was growing, popu-
lation steadily increasing, and the de-
mand for meats becoming greater
daily.
When the western stockmen saw the
handwriting on the wall some of the
| long headed ones began to provide for
the future by obtaining possession OF
every acre of strictly pasture land they
could. In this way millions of dollars
! have been laid out, which naturally
adds very materially to the cost OF
production. 8
In 1890 some data were prepared by
several sheepmen, covering the cost
OF running sheep upon the ranges; and
the average cost OF running sheep for
camping purposes. Very few of them
had any money invested In lands OF
ranches beyond a home ranch for head
quarters Dipping plants, hay -feedina
pens. power shearing plants and all
those necessities of the sfeepmara oil
today were unknown. They had the
whole west for their range They
walked their wool TO the shipping
places on the sheep backs.
In the year 1908 committee from
one OF the big Montana sheep associa-
tions prepared a set OF figures slowdne

sent methods.

A zephyr Of wind caught up sheet
of paper from the editors desk and
sent it whirling out through the open
window. What the editor said is su-
perfuous.
Branton was just rising from his
chair to recover the manuscript as a
ragged urchin entered the door Of the
Pinetown Chronicle. When he caught
sight of the boy he did what any NOR
tai being possessed with an abiding
sense Of the ridiculous would have
done-he fell back into his chair and
laughed.

Chance sometimes plays strange
tricks. Had anybody told Branton an
hour earlier that gust Of wind would
blow him fortune he would have laugh
ed at the absurdity Of the suggestion.
Thank you. Freckles," he said.
Here, take this dime for your trou-
ble" The freckled face Of the boy
broke into smile as he pocketed the
coin and turned to 60. He paused at
the door, and Branton, looking up from
his writing moment later, saw him
standing irresolutely on the doorsill.
Kind hearted Jim BrantOn was quick
to surmise that the lad had something
more to say. Anything l can do for
you. SOM" he asked kindly.
''N-nO, guess not" answered the
boy. Only thought p'rhaps you
could give me something to do. Y see,

was engaged in sorting the contents OF
one of those receptacles known In the
parlance of the printing Office as the
hellbox.
The months that followed were siren.
uous ones for the Chronicle. Pinetown
was in the throes of political battle
over the purchase of a municipal wa
terworks system. From the first Bran
ton stood firm for municipal owner
ship. and for a time everything seemed
favorable, but then the tide turned.
The political party in the minority
saw an opportunity to create senti.
ment against the project and charged
openly that 1t was scheme for graft
on the part of the party In office.
Branton remained firm in his position.
Affairs were at this point when the
leader Of the opposition made Branton
an offer to desert the now unpopular
cause.
All this Freckles learned as he toiled
over his types. and he gained keen
insight into the contest. At leisure
moments he joined groups of politi-
clans on the street and listened unob-
served to the discussions. He gath
cred fund of information.
The linotypes were merrily hum
ming and clanking one evening a year
after Freckles came to the office of the
Chronicle. He had made remarkable
progress in his work and through the
kindness of Branton had attended the
sessions of night school. He bent
all his energies to make the best Of
his opportunities. and at the end Of
the term he had graduated near the
head Of his class
Freckles was perched upon a box
vetting headings from case that was
zoo high for him. He was wondering
how much longer Branton could hold
out. for 1t was an open secret that
the Chronicle was near the end of its
resources. Suddenly he read two lines
that startled him:
