The Tribune is in receipt of the
following letter from T. Lilly who
is now in Montana:
Dear SIR;
With my wife and family l arrived
here in good order. find Butte a
very lively, hustling, bustling city of
about 10000 population, and while it
has not the beauty in vegetation of
some other places we passed through.
it certainly has the "get there" all
right. | have not looked around
very much yet, but see hundreds of
thousands of dollars being pat into
improvements on some of the mines
which shows there are many years of
supply in sight to warrant such an
outlay. | am very favorably i'm
pressed with the place and shall stay
here for awhile at least.
Yours truly,

Many Jessups but only
one Jessup

Having made a fortune in the
mines of Humboldt county, Nevada,
H. S. Jessup, founder of the min
ing camp Of Jessup in Humboldt
county, is going to return to his
family at La Port, Indiana. His
wife and children have for five
years believed him dead, but in all
that time he has been trying to win
the fortune he came west to find and
now that he has succeeded he is
going to return to his home.
Five years ago H. S. Jessup tired
with the quiet life of La Port, In
diana, where fortunes are onlv earned
by years Of toll and perhaps not then,
announced 20 his aged parents and
his wife that he was coming west and
ended by saying:
81 will not return until | have
made my fortune.
He then disappeared. A long
search was made for him by his lonely
wife and parents and at last his father
and mother died broken hearted,
believing that he had died as no trace
of him could be found. His wife
lived on, caring for his children and
always hoping that some day she
would hear from him. In the mean
time he was digging away in the hills
of Humboldt county seeking that
elusive fortune. He has at last won
and only few days ago his wife re-
ceived telegram from him reading:
"Have made my fortune in Nevada.
Am coming home to you and the
babes" This telegram was dated
Lovelock, Nevada.
Tine Reno Gazette, Of last evening
prints an interview with Frank Jessup
the discoverer of Jessup in which he
denies the above stating that another
man by the name of Jessup has been
confused with him. He says he has
no wife and children,

ALFALFA 5 IL FEET
NOW READY FOR THE
MOWERS At BOYER

An example of what can be done
by scientifically cultivating the des
ert lands of Nevada can be seen at
the TRIBUNE office. 1t is bunch
of alfalfa taken from the Boyer ranch
near Boyer, and sent in to the off
ice by Mr.. Boyer through George
Stauts, who is taking the place of
VIM. Bigg,, the Boyer stage driver
for few trips.
This alfalfa is II 2 feet long, is in
blossom and now ready to harvest
In fact cutting began at the Boyer
ranch yesterday. Mr.. Boyer expects
to cut a Ia tons to the acre, which
will be record breaking yield.
The land on which this alfafa was
grown, comprises about SO acres of
the ordinary bench land, and is
watered by means of irrigation from
the Cottonwood creek. The land a
few years ago was covered with sage
brush and was but little different
from the characteristic desert soil of
Nevada. Now with water and care
full farming it yields in excess of the
choice lands ofthe great farm section
The early maturing of the alfalfa
is as remarkable as the heavy crop.
In Lovelock and in other places the
best alfalfa is not more the :, quarters
grown and the blossoming period is
yet some weeks off. Exceptionally
favorable conditions at Boyer pro-
mote vegetation. Mr.. Boyer has the
the record of raising the very choicest

ranch.
