FIRST SHIPMENT OF MERCRY
Walker Brothers Bring in Product Of
American Canyon Cinnabar Mine

The first shipment of mercury to
be made from Humboldt County was
that brought in Monday of this
week by the walker brothers from
their property in American Canyon
Over there in American Canyon
the Walker brothers have bee
mining cinnibar ore on a small scale
for number of years past land
with the financial aid of local peopl
a 31a If. Huntington mill install d.
and also small furnace for retort-
ing the ore. Working on a small
scale, installing their mill and devel-
oping their property, they took a
considerable amount of ore out and
made trial run. The trial run wa
successful, and in ten day run, ,ot
two men they got ten 75 lb. flasks
of fine grade of quick silver. This
was lett with the Lovelock Nero
antile Company who will act In the
capacity of selling agents.
Speaking of their property the
brothers, E.P. and VIM. stated that
the first mill run had been of most
encouraging character. Our milling
facilities are small, but they were
installed to make the mine pay its
own development work land when
well proven up larger mill could
be installed
One of the interesting features OF
this proposition of the Walker Broth
ers, is the byproduct of the cinni-
bar ore. The ore comes in kaolin
gang matter In the vein, and this ka
line when roasted makes very har
porcelain. The porcelain thus secul
ed is absolutely fire and acid proof
In fact the Walkers have used t. IN
their retorts, and they state Il : il
withstands any kind of heat. her
the kaoline comes out of the Il IL
the form of tailings and dries ome
what it is plastic and can be )ulde
into any kind of shape, ard they
have made any number of interes
ting and valuable articles.
There are other cinnibar mine!
in American Canyon, the principle
ones being owned by the Nevada AL
madam Company. These mines will
some time in the future begin ship
ping land another industry next dc,
to Lovelock will thrive.

ISN'T IT The TRUTH

I'VE presume that every editor in
Nevada is of the same opinion as
the editor of the Reno Gazette on
the following sentiment taken from
"a lengthy editorial anet the recent
campaign.
''It is with unbounded pleasure
that the Gazette again takes up the
task of publishing newspaper from
which all the yagaries that enter in
to a political campaign have been
eliminated. Never was there a
more thankless, distasteful position
than that which the editor of par
.y newspaper occupies during a cam
paign. Only after one has been
through it many times does the re-
alization come forcibly home to him
that it is almost impossible to please
any one who happens to be running

PROGRESS OF THE CHURCH
Interest apparent in work
of the church in Lovelock


Last Sunday night, the evangelis-
tic services conducted for the past
two weeks at the Methodist Church
by Rev. Newton S. McClurkan, who
is widely known as the Drummer
evangelist were brought to a close
and Rev McClurka pleft for Elko
where he will conduct a series of
meetings in the Presbyterian church
of that place.
The meetings conducted here were
widely attended and were given close
attention.
There is noticeable in Lovelock a
growing interest in the church, and
this was clearly seen i'll the recent
services. These meetings were held
just during the close OF the hottest
campaign in the history of the state,
and dispite the nightly bon fires and
political ralleys, the church always
held good crowd.
Any one who attends the regular
church services On Sunday night
will see at once that the former an
tipathy and indifference to the
church in Lovelock is disappearing.
The work of former pastor Rev.
Mark White in building beautiful
church, has contributed to this end
as we'll as the holding of the Meth
odist Conference here and the sta
tioning here of Rev. McAllen. His
ability in the pulpit, and his person
ality are helping the church in Love
lock to wonderful extent.

SUCH TESTIMONY DAMAGES
CAUSE OF The RAILROADS
From The New York Times

The cesus bureau makes timely
announcement of Forthcoming bull
letin on agriculture in the United
States. During the last decade acre
age has declined and expenses have
increased. No more laborers are EN-
ployed and wages are higher and
the total is half more. But there
are compensations. The crops are
larger and are worth more land So
are the lands. An aggregate yield
of some $4,000, 100000 of crop val
ues this year is reflected in an in
crease in value of farm lands
from $40, 100000 to $50,O00,-
900, 100000 since 1900. The farm
er is not without his worries, but
there are those that envy him.
These facts are especially interest
ing in connection, with the testimony
given before the inter state comm
cree commission to show the farmer
that his ruin is attributable to the
railways ,ahd that an increase OF
rates would be extortionate. One
honest agriculturist testified that av
verage farmers in Iowa got their
living to be sure, but ran from $208
to$305 behind each year. Land he
admitted advanced in value each
year and crops brought more mon
ey, but he was sure that the farm
ers who were buying automobiles
would be unable to pay any more
freight money and live. The only
reason the farmers are able to get
along at all Is that they sweat their
children, AS fast as they reach IA
years, hired man is discharged
for each one of them. The profits
of child labor are banked and Iowa
is furthur ruined by the money drift
ing to Wall Streat The horny-hand-
ed tiller of the soil who gave this
testimony is editor of a farmers
weekly newspaper and president of
the National Conservation Congress.
When the railway presidents tes-
titled regarding the necessity of ad-
vancing freight ra tes it was said
that the case of the railways was
stronger than it was made to seem
by it's advocates. But surely the
railways put forwor6 no witness

for office. Some times the egotism
of many candidates seems almost
beyond belief. Their ability, is SO
great, their records SO immaculate,
their claims so huge, that necessa-
arily the newspaper fails when it
attempts to chronicle all those a.
bounding virtues, and so here and
there the task is given up and cata-
logued with -other unatainable Writ
ues. Praise is accepted as only
what isdue support is given no cred
it, but more often damned because
it does not appear to the candidate
to be all that his party paper should
give him. Five dollars goes to a
newspaper for the publication of
flossy gaudy stories of superhum-
an ability and gold galore goes over
bar to treat the ever-present
crowd and then the outraged can
didate cries loud and often of high
waymen who are allowed to be at
large only because they run news

FIRE IN UPPER VALLEY
BURNS SCILASECI RESIDENCE

Last Sunday night, the residence
of Jos. Scilaseci on his ranch in the
upper valley was destroyed by fire
and the entire contents of the build
ing destroyed At the time of the
fire, Mr.. Scilaseci was out milking
and 1t was about 7.30 in the evening
While milking, he noticed the flames
bursting from the roof of the house,
d rushed In to save some of the
household goods but when he got
there the flames had entire control
and all the helpless man could do
was to save what implements al
other property that was near the
house.
The only known cause that could
have started the fire was defective
flue, and as the flames when first
seen were bursting out near the
chimney, it is taken for granted
that that was the cause of the fire.
The loss has been estimated at
about 100000 and as far as could
be learned was not. covered by insur-
ance. Mr.. Soflaseci plans to at
once begin the erection of new
residence.
A peculiar feature of this fire Is
the fact that this Is the second fire
to take place on this ranch in the
last three years. The other fire oc-
cured when the property was owned
by A. s. Bailey. That fire like the
present one destroyed the house an
everything inside.

READY TO Mine PLACER
GROUND ON A LARGE
SCALE AT FITTING
THE DREDGER Is AFLOAT.
Federal Mines Company Have at Las
Gotten the Pond for the Big Boat
Made Water Tight.

Considerable interest has been ma
ifested, both in the camp and in this
place, in the new dredger which the
Federal Mines company has been in
stalling this year at their properties
in the old Spring Valley placer min
ing district. This is one of the larg-
er styles of dredgers which the Ris
don Iron Works people put out, be-
ing operated by a 100-horse power
gasoline engine. It is the first dred
ger ever installed in this state, SO ia
as we are able to learn. Hence it
should be a matter genferal inter-
est to the entire state.
The Federal Mines company have
experienced a great deal of difficulty
in getting the pond in which to floa
the drerdger to hold water. The ca
yon is honeycomed with shafts which
the Cinnamon have dug in former
days. in order to reach the gold-bea
ing gravel strata. This made the en-
tire canyon like a sieve and after
filling all the holes they could find
around and in their pond, the COM
papy turned the water into the pond
and merely had the satisfaction of
seeing it fade away, sometimes slowi-
ly and again with a rush that threat
cned the safety of those residing be-
low
SO the big Boat" is a-float at
last and inside of ten days it is ex-
pected that it will begin digging the
golden nuggets and sands out from
the depths of the placer ground. The
canyon has been thoroughly sampled
and great deal of wealth has been
taken therefrom by the crude meth
DDS of the Cinnamon and the later
and more modern methods of the
hydraulic mining and slucing. But
the company are satisfied that there
are still millions to be taken from
canyon by the dredger process, so
have spared neither pains nor money

stalled and ready for operation.
Mr.. Clark, the president of the
Federal Mines company, who was
out from his home in Iowa and at
tending to the last work of installing
this large dredging machine himself,
came in from camp Monday and, ac-
companied by his wife, departed for
San Francisco the next day To a
Tribune reporter he stated that he
expected to return ere long and see
the dredger successfully at work in
the canyon, washing out the golden
sands and nuggets. This company
are deserving of great credit for hav
ing persisted for these many years IL
the development of this promising
placer ground, and now their many
friends sincerely hope that all their
dreams of fortunes to be retrieved
will be fully realized from the oper-
alton of this dredger.

and Mrs. Clark in from Spring Val
ley Monday. She returned to camp

Passenger Service, Lovelocks and

S. A. Mcintosh, who has the mail
contract to the Seven Troughs dis
trict, is in receipt this week of an
other new Ford automobile which is
to be used in the mail and passen-
ger service between Lovelocks and
the camps.
Mr.. Mcintosh has had Ford car
in the service for some months past
and the fact that he has now pur-
chased the second one is evidence
that the machine has given satisfac-
ton. But it is too hard trip for
one car to make every day in the en-
tire year land second car is needed
for relief and when the passenger
traffic is too heavy for one.
The carrying of the U. S. mails by
automobile is still in the experiment
stage to certain extent but we be-
lieve they are coming into favor in
many places where being used. With
the autos, the round trip to Seven
Troughs can be easily made in one
day, while with the stages it used to
take the best part of day to go Oh
ly one way. The chief question noi
is how much the coming winter s
storm will hinder the autos making
schedule time. we believe that the
days they cannot make the trip will
be few
