STATE OF NEVADA
MAKES GOOD INVESTMENT
New Prison Farm Proves Profit
able to the State. Prisoners Make
Splendid Showing Without Stripes

The purchase by the State OF the
Schulz ranch for a new prison site
has proven one of tne real invest
ments that has been made by Neva-
da in many years. Whether or not
a prison is ever erected on the land
makes little difference, the invest
ment was sound, as the State can sell
the property for more money than
was paid for it. The monetary in
vestment is only one item.
Since the State turned the property
over to the Prison Board many inn
provements have been made. During
the past season about 400 tons of nay
were cut from the farm lands. This
acreage will be increased the coming
spring. This farm could be placed in
position to furnish a great amount OF
material and neces sites for prison
use. All the hay that is required is
now raised while the State will have
at least 200 tons for sale. If farmed
properly early all the beef, milk and
pork used by the State institution can

Rest Cure at
the County Jail

The local constabulary has been
kept on the move lately with drunken
Indians. Half dozen bucks are
now decorating shovel handles along
the public highways and assisting in
placing the open sewer system in
winter condition. So far SO good.
Yesterday two maidens of dusky col
or were. jailed for indulging in too
much fire water 1t required a truck
to land the squaws in the bastile.
Instead of holding them for trial as
is done in the case OF the bucks they
are placed in cell long enough 70

released. \ case OF rest cure is fur
nished them free of cost Jailor Ell
lis regrets the fact that they are of
the wrong sex to handle pick and
shovel as the streets need plenty OF
assistance. Some OF the boys have
suggested that a county laundry be
added to the equipment and the
squaws who indulge too freely be
given a chance to work their way

Rate Hearing
is Postponed

The rule to show cause in the case
of Woodside VS.. the Nevada State
Railway Commission, the Tonopah

ais. was to have been heard in this
city yesterday. Judge Dennis, rep

which provides that such hearings
must be before three Judges, two of
whom may be District Judges. while
there must be at least one Justice OF

Agricultural
Appointments

The State Agricultural Society
is to be revived and placed on a
working plan. Two years ago Gov
ernor Dickerson vetoed a bill max
ing an appropriation for the Society
on the grounds that the Society had
not complied with the laws. In or
der to have the organization on a
lawful footing and also to promote IA
good cause the Governor appointed
the following additional members to
the Board:
Alex Dromiack and James ONiel
of Washoe- County: Frank Regan Of
Ormsby County; Fred Dangberg of
Douglas County; w; J. Bell OF
Humboldt County; DIR. T. F. Rich
ardson of Churchill County. and F
l. Drappo OF Washoe County.
The above members will meet
with the other standing appointees
and arrange matters so that they can
be properly presented to the Legisla
ture or other organizations The
movement is in the right direction as
Nevada has plenty to show the world
and it can be done with small ex-

Miners Return

Messrs. Bradbury and Clayton.
who are employed on the Moifat
ground near the Aathens mine, have
returned to the hills after laying in a

tools. The boys state that everything
is looking very promising at the
property and that considerable high
grade is in sight From the plans
mapped out they will be employed
during the winter months with devel-
opment work Other claim owners
in the same district are busy with as
sessment work and development. A
number OF finds have been reported
and specimen ore continues to be

lie raised on this possession.
Probably the most interesting item
connected with the prison farm is the
treatment of prisoners on the place.
The TRUSTEES who are sent to this
place are almost free men No stripes
ale worn, no guns prevent them from
running away One guard does the
" ork The men live in comfortable
quarters, are we'll fed and have the
benefit of outdoor life The farm Is
conducted on the best lines and will
De improved each season. 1t is such
a condition that proves that the in
Hestment is the most beneficial that
tie State has made since it went into
tie prison reform move.
A great deal of credit should be
given Warden Maxwell in this. rela-
ton, as he has advocated such plan
and has helped formulate the work
that has proven a benefit to the men
and makes an income for the State.
It is to be hoped that the plans can
be enlarged and more prisoners given
a chance to become men.

Eureka Yesterday for the sum of $7O,-

purchased the property with the idea
of using it as an outlet for the silver

gauge. as formerly, and February lst

The road was practically wiped out
in the floods that devastated the
Reese River Valley last spring and
for a time it was said that the food
supply of Eureka ran short on ac
count of the lack of transportation o.
merchandise. This was not strictly
SO, however. but the food caused
great loss to the ranchers. At the

Several years ago +. A. Montgom-
cry sold the MontgomeryShoshone
mine at Rhyolite, New, to Charles M.
Schwab and associates for an amount
said to have been a million dollars.
Since the property was acquired by
the Schwab company a great deal OF
money has been expended in deveop-
ment work. and large cash outlay
was made for a modern mill plam
with capacity of l50 tons of ore
daily. Al the time the mine was pur
chased it had been developed to a
depth OF about 400 feet. and those
who inspected it said it had one of
the best showings OF any of the new
mines that had been developed IN
Nevada in recent years. Despite
these reports. the mine has never
paid and it has just been closed down
by the present owners. The chances
are that it will never be rcopened. UNI
less someone else acquires IT and de-
cidcs to take chance.
DR.. M. r. Ward, brother in-law OF
Schwab. has just visited the property
and made careful inspection. Upon
the recommendation OF John e.. kir-
chen general manager Of the company

ed indefinitely. after DIR. Ward had
gone over the situation with Mr..
kirchen. The shares OF this com
pany were traded in extensively in
this city at one time. and il is under
stood that some interests are still
held here.
According to DR.. Ward the mine
showed an actual loss during the
summer months and made but few
paltry hundred dollars in August.
At the recent stockholders meeting
Mr.. Kirchen presented the actual
facts and expressed the opinion that
the ore now in sight was OF too low
grade to be mined and milled with
profit. 1t was hoped. however, that
