'BELCHER
is READY
Electric Machinery Installed on
the Site of Burned Plant

The announcement comes from
Gold Hill to-day that work was re
sumed this morning in the Belcher
mine, the new electric hoist having
been installed and thoroughly tested
out the surface equipment placed in
tirst-class working condition, and al
fairs at the mine III all departments
being ready for resumption OF mining
operations.
1t is OF interest to recall that the
reha abilitation OF the surface works at
the Belcner has been brought about
all within ten weeks, the date OF the
disastrous fire being on the evening
Of Tuesday, August 9th, when the
flames wiped out every vestage OF the
hoisting plant. The management OF
the property lost no time IN clearing
up the wreck, the work OF reconstruc-
ton beginning almost before the bent
and twisted iron work had chance
to cool off. The result has been thai
in remarkably short space OF time
the surface equipment OF the mime
has been entirely replaced with up-to-
date modern machinery and CORFU
gated iron buildings, SO that the prop
erty is now in excellent physical con
dition and starts off in better shape
than ever.
During the interruption OF work III
the mine the shaft has been kept IN
/ good repair and i'll all levels OF the
mine everything was i'll shape foi
work to-day.
At the time OF the fire the Belchel
mine was reported TO be working II
an improved grade OF ore, and the
weekly report for that week showed
! the extraction was l43 cars OF ore
averaging $796 per ton from stope
! No. l on the 200 level, and l22 cars
averaging $753 from No stope or
! the same level. Work was also un
! derway in the raise on the 800 level
in northeast crosscut No. /, and Il
cars averaging $595 were saved.
J Operations have been resumed a
these same points and the extractioi
OF ore is now underway again ant

CLEVER BULLETIN
FOR NEVADANS
Public Document of Unusual Inter-
est to All Nature Lovers

AS a rule wnen the layman receives
public document from his Senator
or Congressional Representative he
promptly figures out that the ltera-
tnre is mighty dry stuff and only fit
for the waste basket, and this is the
disposition OF ninety per cent OF all
such documents that come to hand
In to-day mail there was received
document from the Department of
Agriculture. Farmers Bulletin No.
335, harmful and Beneficial Manuals
Of the Arid Interior. Doesn't sound
very interesting, does it? Yet it is
filed with very intelligent reading
botn Tor the young and old.
There is complete description OF
all the little rodents that make Neva-
da their home. Some dig heavily in
to the farmers profits, while others
act as his best friends The pam
phlet is illustrated and only deals in
manuals and rodents of this state.
The author, Vernon Bailey, in
charge of the Biological Survey, sets
forth some very good advice to the
farmers, and if half he states is taken
into consideration, there will be some
additions to the game laws of Neva-
da for the protection OF the farmer
and not the nimrod.
He deplores the fact that the farm
er or any man should kill the badg-
ers. This mammal, of all others, is
a farmers friend. 1t requires from
two TO a dozen squirrels or mice per
day to keep him going, and the few
chickens that he cleans out is not to

be taken into consideration for the
good that he renders. The author
fears the absolute determination OF
the badger in case laws are not pass
ed for his benefit.
The skunk, which is killed on sight
or smell if possible, is also depend
ent on his living from the rodents OF
the earth. His benefit to the farmer
is to be calculated in dollars. Weas-
els make their living by digging out
and destroying the field mice and 9th
er grain destroying rodents. The
common chicken hawk (nearly every
farmer kills him on sight) does more
TO rid field of gophers than any otn
er bird that flies. The hawks kill
more destroying creatures in one
year than all the traps and poisoned
gram that was everspread. The
hawk also gathers in a chicken oc-
casionally, but this small toll is paid
back thousand fold
The entire pamphlet is filled with
such good and interesting news. The
bulletin should be read in every
school in this state, and once the dis
cussion is started and the farmers
and everyone once interested there
will be some protection vested on the
mammals and birds that bring good
to the one who would through ig-
norance kill them wantonly.
1t is safe to say that the shotgun
in the hands of the farmers boy does
more harm to his crops in one year
than the unprotected animals and
do in all their lives.

Under Mr., Haley's predecessor, The
expense of conducting the office was
$3.50 a year. The last Legislature
seeing that Haley's activities had
brught the receipts up to about $160,
600 year, added enough to the ap-
preparation to make the office cost
the state $4,000 year Most OF this
increase was for travelling expenses,
to permit the Bullion Tax Agent to
more thoroughly cover the state in
his investigation if possible and ex-
isting evansions of the tax. The eN-
pense OF conducting the Office is still
$4,000 a year, and the receipts, as be
fore stated, are now coming i'll ut the
rate Of more than S500,000 a year.

MINERAL PRODUCTION
SHOWS HEAVY GAIN
Report of State Bullion Tax Collec-
tor Marks Much Improvement

State Bullion Tax and Licens,
report for the second quarter TO the
Governor.@The mining companies
! under the law, have until the first o!
! October to make their report for the
second quarter, and Mr.. Considine
has been engaged since then in the
collection, scrutinizing and compilla-
ton of these returns.
The report shows that for the sec
ond quarter the state received some
thing over $4,000 from the bullion
tax. This is at the rate of more tilan
S3OO,OO0 a year. Mr. Considine states
that the gross output reported for the
quarter approximates $S,OOO,O0O and
estimates the production for 1910 at
something like $40,000,0OO
When Mr.. Haley was appointed
Bullion Tax Agent by Governor Dick
erson in July, 1908, the annual bull
lion tax receipts were about $4,000
During Haley's first year they rose to
the sum of 100000. 1t took hard
work to accomplish this.
The big companies in the southern
part of the state, notably at Goldfield
and Silver Peak, were lodging the
payment of this tax, and Haley had to
go after them rough shod. AS a re
suit the Florence-Goldheld and Pitts
burg Silver Peak compromised by
paying up all that they owed and the
Goldheld Consolidated within the
past month or SO has turned over to
the state over 100000. The spirit
of energy and determination shown
by Mr.. Haley convinced the mining
companies that the bullion tax office
was at last in competent and con
scientious hands and there have been
no bitches since.

which incident caused his arrest for
stealing cattle. Mr.. Sims sold to
party two steers, but after their pur
chase and the payment of the mon

buyer could not drive them away, so
the purchaser told Mr.. Sims to sell
them for him. In little while an
other purchaser appeared and the cat
tie were sold to buyer number two, but
he, too. could not drive them away
and left the cattle with Mr.. Sims to
sell them. though he had not paid for
them. This was last June. Recently
a third party appeared and claimed
that he was now the owner of the
cattle, having purchased them from
the original purchaser After buyer
number three took the cattle away,
buyer number two appeared and de-
manded the cattle and upon being
told that they had been sold and the
purchaser had taken them away, he
began suit against Mr.. Sims.
