Methodist Church Extension

The board OF church extension of
.the e. G.hAEsh. South. held April
20-21 one OF the most delightful ses-
sions In Its history. 1t was the last
OF a most successful auadrenniur,
and was held In its Offices in Louis
VILE Harn1cny and good will pre-
vailed throughout, and the members
went away feeling that the work
which had been committed to them
by the church had prospered. and
that they had been able to do for
the needy churches at this session
more than at any previous time. How
ever, there was common regret that
the funds at their disposal were not
several times as great, that every re-
quest might be granted. The appli-
cation for donations amounted to
t20l.s83, and for loans s231.0o0. The
board appropriated s146.s59 as loans

Will START SEWER
MONDAY MORNING

Monday morning County Surveyor
sheldon will start surveying the route
for the new sewer, and will be assisted
by Harry Bonnifeld, Charles Guthrie
and W. c. Everett.
The main sewer will run the entire
length of First street, from Bridge
street west. down the alley to the west
of the main street from Fourth to Sec
ond, and down the alley on the east
side of the street from Sixth to Second.
Branch sewers will run on every street
in town.
1t is estimated that the plans and
specifications will be completed in time
for submission to the June meeting of
the county commissioners at which
time an advertisement will be author
lied calling for bids for the work to be
submitted at the July meeting Pro
vided the contract is let at this time,
the actual work of construction should
be commenced about August l and com
pleted within 80 days.
The work of constructing the new
sewer will be under the personal super
vision of Commissioner McDeid, assist
ed by citizen 3 committee composed
of Edward Reinhart. ]. Sheehan, IL. W.
Duncan G. f. Haviand and Walter
Wilkinson.
Full details of the plan have not
yet been definitely decided on. as the
committee win take its time with a
view to obtaining first-class results,
which is more than can be said of the
sewers recently built by other towns
of the state.
AS the Nevada statutes prohibit the
discharging of sewerage into the Hum
holdt river. it is probable that a sep.
tie tank will be erected for that pur-
pose, but as yet its location has not
ieen determined.

STATED by the recent storms there.
Line to Elko Opens Today.

MANY BUYERS
BUT NO MARKET

Although there are many wool buyers
in town, they all claim that they are
not in the market, but simply waiting
for advices from their respective
firms. Included in the number are G..
w. Callahan, representing Koshland &
Co., Boston; Charles s. Haight of JUS
tice, Bateman & Co.; F. M. Eshelman,
James J. McNamee and J. Neal.
One of the gentlemen named, who
did not care to be quoted, in conver-
sation with a Silver State representa-.
tive, stated that at present there was
absolutely no wool market; that were
he to buy he would probably offer in
the neighorhood of II cents, with Is
as the top notch. The latter price
would apply only to fine, clean wool
During the week there has been lit
tie contract wool shipped to Boston by
Staunion Bros, which included two
ears from Winnemucca the first of the
week and seven from Goleonda yester-
day. Today the firm is loading another
ear at the Southern Pacific for ship
ment to Eisemann Bros, Boston.

Mining CAMPS
MAKE fine SHOWING

The present beautiful weather il
stimulating the mining industry. News
of activity comes from every camp in
Humboldt county telling Of extensions
new discoveries and putting increas
ed numbers of men to work.
From Mazuma letter to the Silver
State says 1lo men are at work, also
two mills are crushing ore to their full
capacity. There seems to be plenty of
800 and 800 ore in sight. Shafts and
tunnels are enlarging with here and
there new and agreeably surprising dis
coveries are made. Joe Moore, of Chat
ey, is there and says the camp is
booming. The Mazuma Hills mine has
cleaned up $4,000 since the 1st of
February. Some of their ore runs as
high 5000 per ton, with plenty of it in
sight. The district Use rapidly pacing
forward to it's former favorable posi-
tion.
Rye Patch, almost in sight of Winnie
mucca. is making a wonderful showing.
They have a torty-foot body of ore of
which ten feet carries 1858 ounces of
silver. Rye Patch retired as a multi
millionaire several years ago. 1t is not
long since it has entered business again
and the prospects are good fir a few
more millions to its credit. It is one
of the Humboldt range mines, where all
have good records, and total output
exceeding twenty millions.
It is reported that the Humboldt
Chief will soon resume operations un-
der its eastern owners. The INLAY mine
is forging steadily in good ore.
Mining securities in the east have
been very inactive for some time in
sympathy with the uncertain condition
of the money market and export of
gold to Europe, but change is show
ing in favor of mining and unless there
should be some unforeseen check on
financial operations Humboldt county
mines should be the first to feel the
good effects of renewed confidence.

Immigration NOW
RECEIVES ATTENTION

At last some of the leading papers
of Nevada are awakening to the neces-
sitv of encouraging immigration and
agriculture as, well as mining Mines
require all that can be raised on the
farm and the necessity of shipping
farm products of all XII ads into Neva-
da has added a. heavy cost to mining.
prospecting, etc. The freight on vege.
tables and other farm necessities often
exceeds the original cost. Canned
goods, the only substitute. are expen-
sive in cost and transportation.
In Humboldt county there is not a
mining camp of any Importance where
there is not good land near by that
viii produce potatoes, cabbage and
vegetables of all kinds. as well as hay
and grain. The farmer would thus
end q market at his door at the very
hest prices for all of his products
poultry and eggs alone would support
a farmer well near any of the good
mining camps. Besides the adjacent
farm or farms would contribute Tc
little to the successful develnpmens o.
any mine. Then again Il fa~.ae-
ard lis hcl- cen often erd c.a-.is =
ment for their extra time at good
wages in mine or can stake out :
claim and combine mining with farm
ing. as some do now.
Not the least may be mentioned
these farms or homesteads can be ha6
free from the govern mt. Tf III,
: homeless want any other induce
ments, 1t is up to them to file specif
