Picture Features OF
Ranch Culture

Ely Expositor: Cultural maps are now
required to be filed with the State En-
gineer by all users of water under per-
mission granted under the terms Of the
State laws relating to the appropriation
and use of water for irrigation and
other purposes. While this entails
some expense on ranchers Of the State
the knowledge gained from having the
surveys made ought to be worth all it
costs and certainly ought to make it
much easier to arrange sales of property.
Half Bros. g. Colwell have recently
completed surveys and maps for H. A.
Comins, of the Willow creek ranch; for
George Robinson, of his ranch on
Weaver creek, and for Bellander
brothers ON Silver creek. The lands are
carefully gone over by the surveyors
and all roads. creeks, bitches. buildings
and Improvements are shown in their
proper location on the maps while the
fields are also inspected and the diff.
ferent crops or grasses outlined and
marked so the maps show at a glance q
birdseye view of the ranches.

near Sulphur. on the Western Pacific,
last evening by passenger train No. 4.
The accident occurred about one-half
mile west Of Sulphur station. Mcleod
wasriding a"speeder and was returning
70 the station from a point several
miles west, where he had been work
ing. The engine crew saw him riding
some distance ahead Of the train and
the whistle was repeatedly blown to
warn him of the approaching train
with the expectation that he would get
on the track with the machine. For
some reason McLsod did not even look
oack or attempt to jump from the
"speeder." The brakes were applied,
put the train could not be stopped IN
time to avoid the accident. Mcleod
was thrown to one side of the track and
instantly killed. The "speeder" was
wrecked. lodging on the engine pilot.

Killed By Falling Into Well

L. Il. Golish, manager for the water
company in Manhattan, fell down a
we'll last Monday evening. sustaining
injuries which resulted in his death. 1t
never will be known just how the ac-
cident occurred. as he was alone when
it happened. but it is generally supposed
that he was descending the well when a
round of the ladder. about ten feet from
the top, gave way. precipitating him to
the bottom, a distance of about 20 feet.
A platform u short distance above the
level of the water was probably struck
by the falling body. as there wero indi-
cations of it, and his left leg and hip
we're frightfully crushed. One very
surprising feature of the accident is
that the unfortunate man climbed the
ladder to the platform after the faii'and
was there found. seated ON the plat
form. his back leaning against the wall
of the we'll. with life extinct. lie was
not found until about 30 hours, and is
thought to have lived about ~ hours
before succumbing to hisinjuries.

Wants Receiver Removed

The Ely Central Mining Company,
which has been controlled BY the
Scheftels outfit. has filed petition in
the District Court at Ely. asking that
the receiver appointed for the company
be- removed. The charge is made BY
the Ely Central Company that Chandler
and Quayle. representing the receiver,
are antagonistic to the company that
they are not proper persons to be the
legal advisers of the receiver, and that
therefore the receiver is disqualified.
They also claim that the GugRenheim
Interests are fighting the Ely Central.
and that the attorneys for the receiver
also represent the Guggenheim inter

ELY MAY USE OIL FUEL
Estimated That One Train Load Could
Now Be Used There Daily

The building Of the Ely -Goldfeld
Railroad would make it possible to sub
stitute oil for fuel throughout the Ely
district, which would make for Q ma
terial reduction in cost of smelling,
mining and railroad transportation. says
the Record. In Arizona coal was
practically discarded some years ago
at the mines. the smelters and on the
railroads. at great saving to the COM
papies. 1t has been estimated that at
the present time the Ely district could
consume a train-load q day Of oil for
fuel at the plants. mines and on the
railroads. This with the assurance
Of the Giroux management that it
will soon erect q large concentrating
and smelling plant in the district
would mean daily consumption OF
nearly two train loads a day of oil
from the fields of Southern California,
which would prove steady
and profitable income to the Ely. Gold
field railroad in freight earnings when
completed and in operation.
The consumption of oil in Arizona
has reached such magnitude that plan
is now under way to construct a pipe
line from the oil fields of California
across the deserts to the various mining
camps. 1t is big enterprise. requiring
the investment of large sum of money
but 1t proves that oil as fuel has sup.
planted coal in all the camps of the
southwest.
The building of the Ely-Goldfield
road is not only of importance to all of
the mining camps of Nevada, but would
also provide a new market for the oil
fields of California, and should there
fore receive encouragement in finan-
cial way from citizens of Los Angeles
and the owners of oil wells in that
section.

championina the Worm.


An incident that occurred some years
ago during session Of the British
parliament furnished an amusing L.
lustration of the power Of satire to
bring about results that sober argu-
ment often fails to accomplish.
There had been introduced a bill de-
signed to prevent cruelty to wild ami
mails In captivity. 1t was opposed on
the ground that, If passed, it would
endanger certain kinds Of legitimate
sport.
When the Earl Of Kimberley arose
he gravely admitted the force Of this
argument.
'"There can be no doubt" said he,
"that the bill would put an end to fish
ing with worms as bait. It is bill to
prevent cruelty to wild animals in
captivity. The schedule states that
the word animal shall be held to in.
clude reptile. A worm may be held to
be a reptile. A worm impaled on a
hook must certainly be held to be in
captivity; therefore the angler who
uses a live worm for bait would be
guilty of cruelty to an animal in cap
tivity."
The laugh that followed at the ex.
pense Of those against the bill robbed
the opposition Of whatever force it had
and carried the measure to a sue.

Sun Cookinq.

Sun cooking-roasting and boiling by
sunlight instead Of by coal or gas-has
been going on for 800 years. There are
sun stoves that roast sirloin or boil
soup to perfection. They are only
used, however, by scientists. A sun
stove consists mainly Of mirror-a
spherical mirror-on a joint. There Is
also reflector. The place for pot or
plate is so situated that the mirrors
rays can be focused on it accurately.
A German. Baron Tcherhausen, was
the first sun cook. He began in 1857 to
boil water. and in 1888 he had very
good success in boiling eggs. Sir John
Herschel and Button are other famous
names associated with sun cooking.
In California various sun cocks have
boiled gallon Of water in twenty
minutes. roasted meat in two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes,
quite as good time as the ordinary fire
makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by
sun rays is that it has an unpleasant
taste. This is avoided by the insertion

meat and mirror. In all solar stoves

A ripple Of foliage touched water

Beyond the CLINT of water he could

"Why not?" he thought bitterly.

And what had he to forget? A girl.
He had met her at the Golf club and
the Racket club and had played games
