Timber Land
Thrown Open

The following order received from
the Z. s. Department of Agriculture
Forest Service, explains the with
drawing OF certain forest reserves
within the state: ..............
The President mas signed a procla
nation eliminating 65.755 acres from
the Toiyabe National Forest, Nevada
and adding to it 3l1,o73 acres These
changes are the result OF caref u
field examina ton made by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture in pursn
ance of general plan for the correc
ton of all National Forest bounda-
ries.
The areas eliminated comprise, for
the most part, narrow strips of valley
land along the base OF the mountain
ranges. These strips had been put
within the Forest limits by reason of
the fact that the land in question was
mostly unsurveyed at the time of the
original examination.
The addition comprises narrow
strips of timbered lands along the
bases Of the Toiyabe, Desatoya, To
quima, and Monitor ranges. These
lands have been found upon examina-
ton to be covered with sufficiently
good stand OF juniper and pinon to
warrant inclusion within the Forest.
By executive order the President
has transferred the lGillis Mountain
Division from the Mono National
Forest to the foiyabe This area is
located north and northwest of Lun-
ing.
The unappropriated portions Of the
lands eliminated by this proclamation
will be resored to settlement and en-
try after they shall have beer adver

retary of the Interior.

WHITE CLOUD AGAIN
ENTERS PAY STREAK

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 30.-It is re-
ported that the White Cloud mine has
again encountered the original ore body
which it penetrated at the surface
when the sinking of the shaft was be-
gun. The new discovery is at the end
of a drift on the 400-foot level, but how
far from the shaft was not learned.
The White Cloud is in the Picacho
mining district. Yavapai county, some
eight or ten miles due north of Norris
town, and has been quite extensively
deleyoped, though its lower workings
have been largely through barren
ground. The vein passed through near
the surface, il is said, carried from $12
to $40 in gold, and was a promising
proposition. But the veins did not
choose to go straight down like the
shaft did, hence 1t has been necessary
to probe around for the rich places
below.
The White Cloud is equipped with q
mill, and in former days was operated
more or less. Then the property was
shut dowr for a long time, operations
being -resmued again several months
ago. II a substantial body of ore has
been uncovered it will not be long un-
til the mine is again in the produc-
inc list,

CANYON MANHATTAN MILL

MANHATTAN, New, Nov. 30.-The

of the Manhattan Milling and Leasing
company, will soon have its new
equipment In running order and Will
be treating from forty to fifty tons
of ore daily, instead of the present ca
pacity of from twenty to twenty-five
tons.
The new equipment consists or
Bryan mill for regrinding the ore,
classifiers and an elevator, the latter
to be used to bring the tailings back
for regrinding This additional equip
ment will make the Canyon mill COM
plete. and not only increase the ca
pacity, but will make it capable of re
covering a very high per centage or
values from the ores. 1t will make
substantial addition to the milling
facilities of the camp, with conse-
quent increase in the monthly produc-
tion of bullion.
No shutdown has been necessary
during the time additions have been
made to the plant. The mill has been
running steadily night and day, ana
in fact has treated substantial ton
mage of ore the past few weeks.
The company has arranged to supply
the mill with the additional tonnage
necessary for it's capacity, and with
the starting of the new machinery
extra teams will be employed hauling
it to the enlarged plant.

CONDUCTOR WILL STRIVE
DESPITE CRAVE ACCIDENT
Jacob OStroW, Who Lost His Legs
in Car Accident, Plans
New Career

Jacob Ostrow, the Pacific Electric
conductor who lost both legs in
street car accident recently, is now
making plans for fresh start in life.
Barred from any but a cripples work.
with a wife and eight children to sup
port, Mr.. Ostro, still believes ne
might be in a much worse condition,
and is bravely readjusting his plans
for the -uture.
"Of course I had my ambitions"
said Mr.. Ostrow yesterday. I was
making lots of money-$S5 month.
My wife and 1 had planned to live on
500 a week, saving the extra 80 a
month to pay off small debts so that
some day, after we got all cleared up
we could have a little home of our
own. Well have to give that up now,
for 1 shall never be able to earn as
much again. My boys are plucky fel-
lows. They work daytimes and go to
night school. They earn little some-
thing that will help, though I will
say it is a great disappointment to me
to have them go to work now I
meant to do so much better by them.
1.-THE only trouble I have is the dis
appointment to my plans for my chill
dren, but when / think how much
worse things might be l feel grateful
for things as they are. Why, the COM
pany will give me a job that l can
hold even if l haven't got any legs.
My boys will get their education,
though of course it will be harder for
them now, and my wife is fine man
ager. 1 can't express how grateful I
am for the nice things people have
done for me and my family, and I
really feel that I'd be a pretty un-
grateful man not to be a happy one."
Through the efforts of many char
itably inclined people and the acci-
dent policy Mr. Ostrow had been car
rying, his family has been placed be-
yond the necessity of charity. They
also expressed their gratitude to those
WHO have held out helping hand.
The relief they are experiencing in
their fathers recovery has made them
as happy and cheerful as their plucky
father himself,
