IN TUNNEL NO. 4

Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Shea arriv-
ed from National this morning, effect
ing their entrance to town via the
ferry line.
When seen at the Lafayette today
by a representative Of the Silver State,
and asked if there was anything new
at National, Mr.. Shea replied:
"It is probable that the National
Mining Company of Nevada has struck
ore in its No. tunnel. At present all
the officers Of the company are alb.
sent, SO there is no one on the ground
to give out information. ! have MOTTO
ed, however, that within the last two
or three days the dump has changed
color. Where it was formerly white,
it 10 now dark, which would indicate
that the high grade has been struck.
"Dwyer has undoubtedly struck a
great mine. / went through the tun-

FLOOD CAUSES ENORMOUS
DAMAGE AT LOVEL0CK
Great Pitt Dam Only Saved by Blasting New River 0dnnel-
County Bridge Total LOSS-LowG End Of Valley
Under Two Feet Of Water
Especial to Silver State.)

LOVELOCK. March 15.-The long
anticipated flood has come and gone,
leaving a track of ruin and desola-
tion in it's wake. That the damage was
not much more severe is due to the
energetic measures resorted to by the
members of the Old Canal Ditch COM
pany. Before the crest of the flood
had reached Winnemucca, 100 men,
with 200 horses and an equipment of
Fresnos,o were set to work, and by
scraping and blasting a new channel
was constructed around the Pitt dam,
which supplies the water for the larg-
est irrigating system in the valley.
The flood reached this place at about
9 O'CLOCK Saturday morning, and be-
tween that time and Sunday night the
water raised between five and six
feet 1T is too early yet to accurately
estimate the full damage, but it has
been large, the greatest havoc being
wrought to the coming season g crops.
The old antimony mill, situated 200
yards below the Pitt grist mill, has
been undermined by the water, which
reached to the tops of the first floor
windows.
The two "Irish American dams,
two miles below the Pitt milldam. were
badly damaged, with the headgates
ruined and the ditchets washed away.
The Marker dam, which supplies the
water for the Riverside and Reserva-
tion ranches, is a total loss, with flumc
and bitches gone. 1t is estimated that
it will cost $4,000 to replace it.
The county bridge went out Sunday
afternoon, and is total loss.
The Aukar dam 10 fatot loac h
headgate and bitches badly damaged.
Estimated loss, $4,000.
By hard work the Southern Pacific
steel bridge, four or FIVE miles east of
town. was saved For 4S hours a large
force of men. equipped with graphing
hooks, kept the structure clear of
debris, leaving it free to fight the
waters Alone.
At present two feet of water covers
the lower half of the valley. The only
lands that escaped are situated adj
jacent to town and in the northwest
section of the valley.
When the water commenced to raise
many of the ranchers hastily moved
their families, stock, hay and house
hold goods to the high lands in the
vicinity of the gravel pit, situated in
the southwest end of the valley. There
they are still living in tents, waiting
for the waters to subside
Squatter Refuses to Leave.

AT THE NIXON

A. l.. Baehrodt, manager for the
Tonopah Lumber company at Lovelock,
arrived in Winnemucea yesterday,
and made arrangements for the pre-
sentation here next Saturday night,
March 10Th, of the bright and breezy
farce comedy, ''The Prince of Liars

that 3 Lovelock. +"
In another column will be found the
east for the play, which is composed
of prominent Lovelock people, many
of whom are well known in Winnemuc-
ca. 1t is said that no better farce
comedy than "The Prince of Liars"
has ever been written. 1t concerns the
attempts of young married man to
evade the suspicious of jealous wife
and the prosecutions of domineering
mother law. A love story of ap.
pealing sentiment runs through the
comedy, and the people of Winnemuc-
ca are offered the best entertainment
value for their money they have had so
far this season.
To offer the people of Winnemucca
a first-class entertainment for a little

SHEEP QUARANTINE
PARTIALLY RAISED

As a result OF the efforts of federal
and state authorities to eradicate the
disease known as sheep scab, an order
has been issued by the secretary of ag-
riculture, effective March Is, releasing
from quarantine the entire state of
Washington and large portions Of Ore
gone, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and
Arizona, as follows: That portion of
Oregon lying east OF the Cascade noun.
tains; the counties Of Lincoln, Clark
and Nye in the state Of Nevada; the
counties Of Beaver, Piute, Iron, Gar
field, San Juan, Washington and Kane
in the state of Utah; all OF the terri
tory Of Arizona except Navajo and
Apache counties, and all Of the state
of Colorado except the counties of
Conejos, Rio Grande, Saguache, Huer-
fano, Castillo, Las Animas, Baca, Bent,
Powers and portions Of the counties of
Montezuma, La Plata, Archuleta,
Pueblo, Otero and Kiowa. The release
of so large an area at this time indi-
Gates the good progress made during
the past year in the work of stamping
out this disease, which is great
handicap to the sheep industry.
When the Bureau of Animal Industry
began systematic work more than ten
years ago for the eradication of sheep
scab this disease prevailed over large
areas in the west and was rapidly
spreading. Gradually the infection has
been stamped out and the areas reduc-
ed until the territory now remaining
under quarantine consists only of the
states of Kentucky, Texas and Califor-
MIA, the terriory of New Mexico, the
southern portion of Colorado, two coun.
ties in Arizona, the northern parts Of
Utah and Nevada and the western por-
tion of Oregon. The good results have
been accomplished with the co-opera-
tion of state and local officials and the
support Of progressive stockmen. It
is believed that with continuation OF
active work by all concerned the dis
ease may be completely eradicated
from the west within few years.
Copies of the order mentioned, Civ
ing the boundary lines in detail, may
be obtained on application to the Chief
of the Bureau Of Animal Industry,

day Of April, one thousand nine hun
dred and ten; and

United States for the purpose Of de-

Whereas, it is Of the utmost import.
ance to the interets of all the people
of the United States that this census
should be complete and accurate re-

The sole purpose of the census is to

law or ordinance, nor can any person
be harmed in any way by furnishing
the information required. There need
be no fear that any disclosures will be
made regarding any individual person
or his affairs. For the due protection
of the rights and interests Of the per-
sons furnishing information every en-
ployee Of the census bureau is prohib-
tied, under heavy penalty, from dis
closing any information which may
thus come to his knowledge.
/ therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete

SOL|D|FY|NC HIGH
PROOF ALCOHOL

Some time since the Silver State
published series of articles on the
of denatured alcohol
and other valuable bi-products from
sagebrush, wood waste, etc., by the
Hartzvelt process. The inventor has
just informed this paper that he has
perfected his process of solidifying de-
natured alcohol at the extraordinary
high proof of ls2 degrees, which also
renders it perfectly non-explosive. 1t
can be cut like cheese. When ignited
by a match it burns with fine bright
flame of great heat, with not the
slightest tract of smoke or ordor. For
these reasons it will become the ideal
portable fuel for all uses and especial
ly automobiles. No troublesome pack
ages as for liquioe to leak and waste,
requiring extra precautions in trans
portation.
Mr.. Hartzvelt has succeeded where
all others have failed in producing a
most valuable commercial necessity,
that can be made from almost any old
waste product without a special build
ing or plant except his inexpensive dis
tillery aDparatus. II is well known
fact that the seuccess or failure of in
pend upon the cost of fuel. Referring
to the high price of industrial alcohol
the department of agriculture in the
Farmers Bulletin No. 269 reports that
untaxed alcohol of 80 per cent proof
is selling in Germany at retail for q
cents. and that the principal raw ma,
terial for its manufacture is the potato
which pays the distiller about 90
cents per gallon, estimating potatoes al
35 cents per hundred, running Is to
20 per cent in starch. In the United
States corn running IS to 20 per cent
starch, eevn at the high price of &C
cents per bushel, is cheaper than po-
tatoes, while by using sagebrush and
other waste products alcohol can be
produced for seven to eight cents pei
gallon, making it the cheapest fuel a,
well as the cleanest and safest to be
had. Add the fact that ii can now be
handled in a dry solid form like wood
or coal, it is way ahead of other fuels
Correspondence is now pending with
a view of securing number of the
Hartzvelt plants for Nevada. Every
town and camp should have one to In.
usre cheap fuel Any surplus will find
a ready market.
