A Revival of Tobacco Farming.

Weston is gaining prominence as a
tobacco market. The American To-
bacco company has erected a large
warehouse and Is filling it with to-
bacco grown in that vicinity. One
day recently 60 wagons loaded with
tobacco were on the streets at one
time, 1t reminded the old settlers of
the Civil war times when Weston was
a, steamboat landing for tobacco grow
ers. The American Tobacco COM
pany has also established a ware

FINE ATTRACTION
BILLED FOR HERE

1t is with considerable OF pleas
ure that manager Ward, of the
local opera house. announces that
he has completed arrangements
with Edn ond Doud, lessee of the
Grand Theatre, Reno, whereby the
very successful Grand Theatre
Stock company will appear here
two nights, beginning Tuesday
eve. Jan 1lth.
For the first performance "My
Friend from India will be the
Offering. This is the play that
brought Willie Collier both fame
and fortune only few years back.
This company has played to c'pac-
ity audiences at the Grand, Reno,
for the past eight weeks, and it j.
only owing to the appearance of a
large road show in Reno on these
dates that makes it possible for the
appearance of this clever company
here.
To give some idea OF the sup.
porting company it might be
mentioned that Miss Virginia
Thornton, one of the best known
leading women on the coast, and
who has recently appeared with
+. Daniel Frawley, and sot long
ago was seen in support of Dustin
Farum, will be seen in leading
roles.
This should prove tn. oppor-
tunity local amusement seekers
have long been waiting for, and 1t
is hoped that their efforts are re-
warded by large audiences both
nights.
For the final nights perform
ance the ! tremendously popular
comedy drama "The Parish Priest
will be the card. Full scenic
equipment will be supplied by the
management for both productions.

PRODUCTION OF
NEVADA MINES
Nevada's Mineral Production For
Past Year Reached
$25,000,000.

Nevada has just closed one of
the most active years in its mining
history, covering a period of more
than half century" declares j.
+. Haley in the Goldield News.
Though it is possible to secure
official figures on but nine months
OF the twelve just ended it can be
stated with practical certainty that
the total output amounts to $24,-
067 ,S64.S3, upon which total tax
amounting to 1927 ,465.l5 has been
collected. This does not include
several bullion tax settlements
which have been made through the
courts and which are at present in
course OF settlement. The total a.
mount will figure close to quarter
Of million dollars, bring the total
tonnage to near 100000, with a
total value of about 1926, 100000.
Certainly this is not a poor show
ing for "a year that has ben general
y conceded very dull from min.
ing point of view in Nevada. 1t il
also remarkable showing when
compared with 1908. The figures
ior that period show a total ton
mage OF ,165, 125, valued at $14,-
313, ,5f5.f6, the tax collected a.
mounting to $lO1 ,666.22. That
was also regarded as good year
ior the figures for 1908 showed a
gain of about 100 per cent over
1907.
Though 1909 has established a
new record, 1910 gives promise OF
making still greater gains. Per
haps the percentage will not seem
so great, but it will not be sur
prising II the total value of Neva-
da's output for 1910 will be close
to 500, 100000. This should be
the official mark. Notwithstand
ing the fact that most of the
assessors keep a close account OF
the mining properties many
thousands of dollars are not sc-
counted for in the bullion tax re-
ports. Were this possible the
figures for 1909 would show an
outwut of about $50 100000"

SUGAR BEET FACTORY
ASSURED.

All of the $4,000 required from
the people OF Churchill county for
beet sugar factory has been sub
scribed with the exception of $l,-
900. OF this amount Senator Geo.
Nixon subscribed $4,000. The
factor il to cost 100000 and the
only reason the people OF Church
i'll county were asked to subscribe
$4,000 toward the stock was to
have them show an interest in the
nterprise. The soil of Churchill
county is well adapted to the
culture OF sugar beets and the
factory is sure to be great success
and make Churchill county grow.
1t will be built without any delay
if the Southern Pacific company
will agree to extend its Hazen-
+ Fallon line a distance of fourteen
miles to Saltwater from Fallon
and also from Fallon toEthe Island
Ranch district. These two spurs
are necessary to open up a large
