Left TO Join the Army.

Q1ite sensation was created in CO.
umbia last Saturday afternoon when
it became known that Will Diddle, a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Diddle,
Gradyville, and Gleason Hulse, of this
place, had lief. for Louisville with the
view of enlisting in the army. Young
Hulse had the consent of his parents,
but Diddle, who is about seventeen or
eighteen years old, did not. His father
at Gradyville, was notified and he at
once notified Chief of Detectives, Louis
vile, to keep lookout and hold his son
until he could reach the city. He left
at o'clock Sunday morning, and upon
reaching the city he learned that the
boys had been examined at the recruit
ing Office and both rejected, Hulse be-
cause he did not have q written authori-
ty from his father and DiddIe, on ac-
count of not coming up to the measur-
ments.
Mr.. Diddle then undertook to find the
boys, but up to o'clock Sunday after
noon he had failed.
Many in Columbia think that the boys,
after being rejected, left Immediately
for Quanah. Texas, where young Did
die has a brother, an uncle and other
relatives located.
Both the young men are able to take
care of themselves and there is no res
son for alarm. We are satisfied that
word from them will reach here in a
few days.

GRATING FRUIT ON THE WILD PLUM

+. B. Headly, of the Government
Experiment station near Fallon has
carried on a number of experiments in
grating fruits that promised valuable
returns to this State He, two years ago
grated plums, prunes, apricots and
peaches into the stock of the wild peach,
which grows in profusion on many ridges
throughout the State. The wild peach
hardly ever fails to bear a crop. The
wild peach is puckery wild variety that
is absolutely useless i'll its wild state.
By grating the fruit is made paltable
and edible. The two year old CRAFTS he
placed are thriving and promise abund-
ant fruit.
This wild specimen of fruit grows in
this section to large size. No irriga-
ton is needed and there is always a
crop Should the experiment being
carried ont by the Government people

The gain in barley for the decade end

were harvested, barley fell by 1899 to
S,0Sl, again by 1889 to 7.043, but rose by
1909 to IL, ,277. The aggregate yield in

From 1899 to 1909 there was an in
crease in oats of 5,0S5 acres, or 63,S per

dropped to 5 ,49O in 1889, rose to 4, ,7S6 in

The cereals had an aggregate acreage
in 1909 of 3,6S5 acres, as compared to

age value per acre among the cereals;

acre of the cereals was $40. 90, over twice
that of hay and forage. Among the hay
and forage crops, wild, salt, or prairie
grasses, ranked first i'll acreage and

$4,000 Gold Bar
Shipped From
Wheeler

r. l.. Walden, Superintendent and
Manager of the Wheeler Gold Mines CO.,
whose property is located some thirty
miles south of Yerington, was down
from the mine this week, bringing with
him a nice little bar of bullion, which he
shipped to {. N Strevell, of Salt Lake,
President of the company. The bar was
a beauty and contained about 100 ounces
of gold that runs over SIS to the ounce,
making the value of the bar i'll the
neighborhood of s. 600. This bullion is
the result of a run i'll the 5-stamp mill
on the property of so tons of ore The
mill was only run about 8 hours out of
"a each day and worked about five tons
of ore each eight hours. Several nice
bars have been shipped from this prop
erty i'll years gone by, but this is the
first shipment since the mine was started
up some months ago under the manage
ment of Mr.. Walden. and the mill re-
paired and put in order. This shipment
of bullion goes further to show the
merit OF the property than all the news
paper talk that could be made about il
i'll century
The property is now nicely equipped
with mill, boarding house, blacksmith
shop and other necessary buildings, and
it is the intention of the company to con-
tinue development work on the mine
and further shipments of bullion may
be looked for regularly.
The main tunnel of the mine is now
in distance of 1900 feet, giving a depth

and experts prove of value there is no
telling how far the benficial result will
develop. The wild peach has been
regarded as simply beautiful Towering
shrub in the spring, as thousands of
blossoms appear on each branch, The
fruit originally grows to the size of an
almond and is as far as known useless
to mankind BY proper grating 1t is
believed that this can be made fruit OF
general use and there would be an abund-
ance of the crop yearly.
Some years ago the Carson Appeal sug-
gested that such ali experiment be carried
on bv some one who knew the business.
There is also a wild cherry that bears
heavily in this section of Nevada, 1t an
uually bears heavy crop and seems to
survive the hard winters and late frosts.
The probabilities are that this fruit
would also be productive with grating
and cultivation. The possibilities of the
sagebrush land are only being developed
BY such work as the above. 1t is
mighty good work.

In order to do further development work
on the this level, or go deeper, it will be
necessary for the company to install a
pumping plant, which it is considering
doing at the present time.
A thorough sampling of the Wine
below the tunnel level gave ASSAYS rang
ing from SlS to s406 SO per ton, and the
ore has been followed for about 76 feet
above the working tunnel level, from
where it is being stopped. As the ore
goes into the water at a depth of about
500 feet from the surface, and at that
depth the assays are better than the av-
erage above the water level, it is a pretty
good indication that the owners of the
property have a mine that is going to
make them wealthy
1t may be added that the mill equip
ment contains concentrating plant and
that the last run that turned out the
bullion shipped, accum ulated several
tons of high-grade concentrates.

INCREASE IN ACREAGE AND CROPS IN
STATE OF NEVADA

Statistics relative to the leading crops
for the State of Nevada, collected at the
thirteenth decennial census, April Is,

Faulkner 1t is based on tabular sum-

Dr. LeGrand Powers, chief statistician
for agriculture i'll the bureau of census.
The figures are preliminary and subject
to slight revision later, when a few other
farms whose returns, now incomplete,
will be included in the final tables. 1t
is not expected that these additions will
materially modify the amounts or rates
given in the present statement.
The leading crops of the State for
1909, ranked in the order OF valuation,
were:

hay and forage increased 81, ,42l acres, or

1879 hay and forage increased to 40, 1879
in 1899, to 292, l54 in 1899 and to 544, =

than three and one-half times The
total Weld in 1909 was 5l2, All tons the
average yield per acre, is tons; the
average value per acre, Sll.90
From 1889 to 1909 the acreage devoted
to potatoes increased $50, or ll7.7 per

rose to 2,235 in 1899, and to 4,S65 in

Wheat, in the decade between 1899

CHIPMUNK IS TO
HAVE STAMP MILL

INNING district, some thirty miles south
OF Nerington, came in from there on
Thursday of this week, and yesterda,
proceeded to San Franciso Mr.. Hagen
has some California people who he has
interested in the Chipmunk district and
his trip to the city is for the purpose of
arranging to take over a number of
prospects in the district and put in ten
stamp quartz mill
There are some very fine prospects i'll
the district and some of the ore is high
grade, but it will not pay to haul to the
railroad, ship and pay expenses of re-
duction, while nice returns can be
obtained with an up-to-date mill on the
ground or close by
The mill will probably be erected on
the river but short distance from the
property, where wood and water is plenti-
full, and the ore haul from the min es
will all be down hill The mill will also
be handy thing for custom work, as
there are numbers of prospectors i'll that
section of country who have promising
claims which can produce enough ore
from the grass roots down to pay for
development work
Although the distance from Chipmunk
to Hawthorne is less than to Yerifgton.
those interested there seem to prefer to
make this place their base of supplies,
and prosperity and business there means
business for Yerington
