STRIKE At
HOT CREEK
BONANZA LEDGE UNCOVERED
IN OLD PROPERTY AT RAT
TLESNAKE CANYON

After having lain dormant for
almost thirty years, the old-time sill
yer properties in Rattlesnake can
yon are again in the spotlight of
publicity. While conducting sys-
tematic campaign of explorations on
the keystone group, J. II. Hillyer
of McGill, uncovered a large body
of high grade, which carries phe-
nomenal values in lead and silver.
Picked samples from the bonanza
find assay as high as 1898 ounces
I, in silver and 37.3 per cent lead.
The strike was made in an old shaft
at a depth of 600 feet. Although
sufficient work has not been ac-
complished to determine the exact
extent of the discovery, it gives evil
dence of being permanent ore
deposit.
Such glowing reports have been
received of Hot Creek, Nye coun'
ty, properties that a number of the
smelter employees at McGill are ar
ranging to lease the Keystone grouI
from Mr.. Hillyer. There are ledge:
from three to seven feet wide tina
outcrop on each of the claims.
During the early days of Nevad;
some of the richest silver ore eve
discovered in the state was shipped
from these properties to Swansea
Wales, for treatment. The entir
consignment averaged $4,000 in TIL
white metal and brought handsome
returns to the fortunate owners.

ores carrying values from $40 t

road, when it can be treated at

OFFERS BIG PRIZE FOR
COAL EATING ANIMAL

John Jacob Astor,, who has at
various times aspired to be some
thing more than mere millionaire,
and who has made several trials IN
the field of invention, has at last
evolved a remarkable scheme for
breeding a new kind of animal, by
a process akin to Luther Burbank
method of creating new vegetable
species by natural selection. In an
article displayed in bold faced type
over his signature, Aston offers
1000 for the production of new
kind of animal to be called a bear
dog" This is expected to lead up
to the creation, eventually, OF an
animal that will consume stuff not
now considered edible, such as coal.
limestone, etc.
Aston says that an automobile
can do more work on gasoline than
on a diet of hay, and so could an
animal if it could be induced to
drink gasoline or eat coal. He ar
CUES that monsters of the carbonif-
erous period, 80 or 40 feet high
and 100 feet long, might be even
surpassed by this process.
He says:
1T seems wasteful for us to burn
anything that might be eaten by
animals"
Astor fails to say why he does
not begin with the goat, as most
promising. on account of it's nat
ural appetite for tin cans and old
iron.

RIG RESERVOIR DAM
FOR CARSON RIVER

While it is not definitely an
nounced, it is believed that the ap-
preparation of $1,193,0 900 for the
reclamation project
means that the big reservoir dam
on the Carson river projected for
some time. will be begun within
the next year The dam is estim-
ated to cost $2,000,000, and when
completed it will hold backwater
enough to equalize supply on that
part of the project near Falloni
while the Truckee will be given
over to the reclamation of the coun-
try around Fernley.
Some time ago the senatorial
committee, headed by Senator Car
ter of Montana, viewed the project
stopping at Fallon and Reno. Later
the army engineer board went ovel
the same ground and discussed the
feasibility of the dam 1t is now
to go ahead with the work, which
will mean a great advantage to tn,
ranchers. The project is devised
to be self-maintaining and self-sup
porting. At present there are n,
extensions to speak of on accoun
of the scarcity of water.

A. B. Witcher, one of the state

to be in a healthy condition and
that the aggregate deposits in the
state have increased by $1,300,000
during the last year as compared
with the previous year which was
/ in itself very good indication of
prosperity and the confidence of the

held by the banks in the state was
