Just Starting to Freeze.

The ice in the canal at present is
not more than two or three inches in
thickness. 1t takes eight or nine
inches to start the harvest. No ice
had appeared in the canal until the
recent cold snap and if this weather
holds, it will be a week before the
CONCEALED stuff is of sufficient thick
ness to mark off and saw out.
Some ice will be brought from the
Des Moines river, as usual but the
quantity there will not be enough for
a city of fifteen thousand souls

keokuk ice dealers and their Gus
toners will have to depend largely
on the northern harvest fields for
their refrigerator product during the
hot months of 1912. Until after the
building of the water power dam, at
least, the flourish of the usual ice
season on the Des Moines rapids
canal here will have ceased to exist
because OF the active work now 60
ing on. Until conditions for cutting
are better facilitated, the local ice
supply houses will ship their ice from
points north.
John Noonan Of Galland and the
Ballinger Ice Company of which i. E.
Denmire is the head, have for the past
several years been the principal cut
tiers of ice on the upper level of the
canal. These ice men will harvest
again this winter but McManus &
Tucker and the Mississippi Coal &
Ice Co., will have their ice shipped
here. The latter company did not
cut extensively last year and the
largest portion of the cakes came
from Ernest Corsepius of the Ft Mad
ison Ice Co. A few cars were re-
ceived from Minnesota.
McManus & Tucker have for a num-
Der of years, harvested ice above the
first lock but will probably ship this
season.
The Azingers will cut on the upper
level, above the second lock. Harri-
son & Dietz will buy from Noonan or
Azinger.

When clock does not run continu.

often due to lack Of oil. This may be
remedied by saturating a piece of alb
sorbent cotton with kerosene oil and
placing 1t inside the clock. below the

YERINCTON NOW
ATTRACTS BIG ONES

+. II. Nutter, Chief Engineer for the
Mineral Separation Co., of London, was
in camp this week looking over some Of
the large copper properties with view
of purchase for his company. The com
pany which Mr.. Nutter represents is one
of the. largest in the world, and at the
Broken Hill property, in Australia, is
treating over million tons of ore year
This property is the largest lead, silver
and zinc mine i'll the world. The com
panv has a process of it's own which is
adapted to the cheap working of the low
grade chalcopyrite ores occurring in
epidote for which this district is noted
He took quite number of samples with
him and will know later on what may be
done in this district by his company
Should this company decide, upon Mr..
Nutter's report of conditions here, to get
into this district it would mean the doing
of things on big scale. Mr. Nutter is
a pleasant gentleman to meet, college
man, graduate of Stanford and classmate
of {. f. Sherwood of this camp.

Nevada-Douglas Visitors

A. !. Orem, of Boston, and w. {.
Orem of Salt Lake, were visitors to the
property the first of this
week, bringing with them a car party of
eighteen people from the east to see the
mine. Like all the others who have
visited the Nevada Douglas, these peo-
pie were much impressed with the mag
nitude of the property and its chances to
make money for all who are fortunate
enough to be holders of the company $
stock. These car parties are giving the
property quite a boost, and a legitimate
one, too. because all visitors find things
at the mine just little bit better than
to them i'll the east.

Following is the report OF Superln-

to the head office i'll Boston, during the
first week in June:
The railroad contractors are Just COM

Ludwig ore bin to the end of loading
siding all the excavation is i'll SNOW white
gypsum The exposure intensifying the
wonderful showing of this deposit. One
reason this grading has taken so long is
that considerable portion of this excava-
ton, classed as earth, proved to be this
compact gypsum.
Work at the mine is moving along in
the same general way, with the exception
that we have a better grade of ore to
report i'll almost all working places. The
muckers' sample on the sixth level south
between stations 500 and 500 have reached
an ASSAY value of g. q per cent copper
On the 500 level we are taking ore out
of the $40 raise and 5l4, 519 raises, which
assays above 6 per cent. In the former
and latter raises we are now drawing out
of our chute and at the 5l4 raise we are
getting ready for the chute timbers, and

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR FINDING COAL

c. A. Hankel was in town from Coal
Valley, in the East Walker country, this
week for supplies and material Mr..
Hankle is still limping around with
sore foot, the result of having heavy
piece of iron fall on it some weeks ago,
but is able to attend to business just the
same. The company in which he is in
terested has a core drill in operation on
the property and has prospected the
ground to depth of $50 feet with this
drill. Two stratas of coal have been en-
countered in sinking to this depth, but
the quality is not yet satisfactory,
altirongh it is fair grade of coal. MIR.
Hankel believes that when the water
level is reached, which should be found
at depth of 500 to $50 feet from the
surface, a quality of coal will be en-
countered which will be of commercial
value. The formation indicates this, at
least. Five men are now employed at
the property on development work. II
the company meets with its expectations,
and it is sincerely to be hoped that it
will, it will have a bigger proposition
than any of the mining or agricultural
interests in the district as the question
of cheap fuel for this big district, and
the whole State, for that matter. will be
solved

DOUGLASS TAIL|NCS
TO Be CYANIDED

James +. Johnston, of Los Angeles,
who has an option on the Douglass tail
ings i'll the big reservoir on the Carson
River, below DAYTON, has decided to ex-
construction of plant to handle the
material. Several parties have hereto
fore attempted to extract the values from
these tailings. but failed to do so at a
profit The material is an accumulation
of shines and tailings which was depos-
tied by the mills of Virginia City and
Sixmile Canyon in the early days of the
Comstock. There are in the neighbor
hood OF 400, 900 tons of the tailings and
ii is estimated that they carry about ~
per ton in values The material is very
dirty and contains considerable base
but Mr.. Johnston has a process by which
he will wash the taiings and take out
all the copper and other base substance
in them before they are passed on TO
cvanide tanks. He is very confident
that he can turn the trick of getting the
values out of this big pile of dirt, as he
has made many experiments and tests
with them i'll the past year Several
men are now employed on the ground
and more will be shortly The price
to be paid to Mr.. Douglass under the
present agreement is 124 cents per ton.
Some years ago the tailings were held
at 50 cents per ton.

PLENTY OF WATER;
SOME TO SPARE

On Wednesday night of this week the
food water in the Walker River reached
its highest point, and since then has re-
ceded some. At that time there was a
volume of water passing under the upper
Yeriugton bridge that measured over II
feet in depth, and the measurement
showed between 5000 and 6, 200 second
feet going down the stream. Besides
there was quite stream running on the
west side of the bridge. This is prob
ably the highest water known here since
taken out several ditch headgates and
the bitches have consequently overfiowed
and covered lot of land deep with wa
ter. Crops have been damaged on sew
eral ranches, and it has been hard
matter to keep both of the bridges across
the river here from being cut out by
water running around the approaches.
Word reached here Wednesday that
there was danger of the dam at Twin
Lakes. on the East Walker, going out.
Whether it did or not has not been
learned, but it would hardly be noticed
here-probably not raise the stream but
a few inches. Those who have been up
near the headwaters OF both rivers say
that the snow has gone rapidly and that
both branches of the stream will now
continue TO fall until the normal stage is
