A Little of the Same Kind of Medi-
cine Wouldn't nurt Nevada.

As the United States inspects meat
and other food and eertifes to its pur.
ity, the state Of Kansas now inspects
corporation stock and certifies to it:
representing real value. The opera.
tions of fake promoters, who have cap.
italized everything up to the blue sky,
have swindled the unsophiseated Kan
sans of sums estimated by the bank
commissioner at Sc, 600, 900 to 5000, O0C
a year, and caused the last Legislature
to pass what is popularly called the
"blue sky law. This law requires al
companies offering stocks, bonds and
other securities for sale within the state
of Kansas, to secure formal permission
of the banking department.
A comprehensive report as 10 finan'
cial standing, plan of operation, organ.
ization, ETC., is required. The depart
ment also investigates the reputation
and financial standing of the directors
and others associated with the enter
prise. II it is deemed necessary, ex-
pert opinion as TO physical valuation OF
properties and other data is secured
from disinteresged sources. This law
has been in force about seven months,
during which time over 500 companies
have asked permission TO offer their Sc
curities to the people of Kansas. But
"a of these have met the rigid require
ments of the department. Many fake
promoters did not file applications. but,
like the Arab, folded their tents and
silently stole away" One concern
went as far as Winnipeg, Canada, to
escape the jurisdiction of the depart
ment. A Utah mining promoter is now
languishing in a county Jail and faces
long imprisonment and heavy fine for
selling stock without permit. The ad.
ministration of the law by j. N. Dolley,
the bank commissioner, and +. j. Part
ridge, special deputy in charge of in
vestment companies, has been such that
the Kansas people accept their certifi.
cate in lieu of personal investigation.
Especially is this true in the smaller
towns and in the country. Kansas is
the first state to supervise the sale OF
stocks and bonds, and the law has at
tracted attention in practically every
state in Union and in foreign countries.

Believe They Have a Real Mine

Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Kinney returned
the last of the week from stay at the
Leonard mine, in the Sand Springs dis
trict. where, after exploration work,
Messrs. Kinney and Leonard, who own
the property jointly. are convinced they
have a real mine. An eight-foot ledge
has been uncovered, considerable por.
ton of which goes way up in the hum
dreds of dollars in gold values per ton,
and it is planned to go right ahead with
the work of developing the property un.
til it is firmly intrenched in this county's
list of treasure-producing mines.
This mine is located but a short dis
tance from the old original Sand Springs
Mining company locations, and il IN .
district that has long been known to be
highly mineralized. Its convenience to
transportation facilities and wood and
water insure the working of the ores
at a small cost.

LOCAL HAY MARKET BETTER
Prices Are Raising And Further
Sharp Advances Are Prom
ised By Indications.

Never since mining camp boom days
has the local hay market been so active
as during the last few days. The hay
selling figures that started off at $3.50
and $500 has now reached $500 in the
stack and good judges claim that the
end is not yet in sight. At first cattle
men contracted for feeding at the rate
of Il cents per day per head. Now the
figure has advanced to IA, with indica-
tions pointing to further lively ad-
vances.
1t has all come about through the de-
sire of Nevada stockmen to make of
this. the most ideal feeding spot on the
continent, their winter feeding head
quarters. The man who bulled the mar
ket halls from Los Angeles, and he evil
IDENTIFY sees more than ordinary merit in
locally raised hay, for he is offering
more than ordinary prices, if the ruling
selling figures oyer the state can be
used as an indice from which to judge.
Some stockmeu claim that there is no
money in feeding for the market when
the rate exceeds $500 per ton for for
age fed, while others, like the Western
Meat Company, it is said, feed for their
own markets on the coast and plan to
make most of their profits over the
block rat her than in the feeding pens.

THE GOVERNMENT WELL DRILL
Down l60 Feet Monday Evening
Encounters an Artesian
Flow of Water.

Inc government well drilling opera
tons at Timber lake are going ahead
with regularity. Owing to the varying
formations encountered the number of
feet added TO the wells depth varies
from seven to twenty feet daily. and
Monday evening l60 Of the 1000 to 1900
feet proposed to be sunk had been ne
gotiated. At this depth a sand that
bothers great deal was being en-
countered. AT one intervening strata
a considerable aftesian flow was en-
eountered. The well now being sunk is
10 inches in diameter, and interesting
developments can he looked for soon.
AS heretofore stated, it is the govern
ment's purpose in sinking this well to
determine whether potash deposits ex-
ist in this valley among the lake sedi-
mentary deposits.
1t will be brought to mind that this
country and Germany have been in a
diplomatic imbroglio over the importa-
tion by the United States of this valu-
able fertilizing commodity, and evident
~ Uncle Sam figures that he can use a
little of his own potash if he can only
find the eussed stuff He knows he has
plenty of it somewhere about his anat-
omy If he can only find it.
And this test well is being watched
with deepest interest by many of the
government officials. That it is an un-
dertaking somewhat out of the ordi-
nary is attested by the fact that Friday
Director Smith Of the Geological Sur
yey will be here and note the progress
of things.

NEVADA HILLS is A PRODUCER
FRS. Shipment Of Bullion Pass
es Through Fallon On Way
To The Mint.

The first shipment of bullion from the
Nevada Hills mine at Fairview passed
through Fallon Monday under special
guard. II comprised nineteen bars OF
bullion worth in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Though silver predominates
in this bullion shipment, which weighed
in the nelghborhood of 2200 pounds, gold
is also present in considerable quanti-
ties, adding value in the usual ratio.
This bullion output is the first from
the premier mine OF Churchill county,
and is the result of only a part of a
months run in September. On Sept.
lst five of the total complement of ten
stamps were started to crushing ore,
but the other five stamps were not put
to work until Sept. 18th. Despite this
fact, however, the bullion shipment is a
highly creditable one, and is Indicative
Of the high grade of ore that is being
sent through the mill.
In addition to the bullion shipment a
car containing thirty tones of coacen-
trates, hauled in from the Nevada Hills
mine, was shipped to the Selby works
on San Francisco bay. to be treated and
the values saved. The amount repre-
sented by the concentrates is not known.
1t should not be inferred from the
above that this mine has not already
established itself in the states list of
producing mines. Its management has
shipped high grade ore to outside smell
tiers for treatment for long period,
and it has paid bullion tax for several
years

Up on Injunction.

Advices from Washington are TO the
effect that the railroads will fight the
introduction of the class rates that were
ordered into effect by the interstate
commerce commission. The new rates
were ordered into effect on Nov. Is,
the schedules to be filed on the 18th Of
October. 1t meant a material reduc.
tion on all rates west, and the people
of Nevada for time were led to be-
lieve that the much-needed relief was
sight. The railroads asked a tempo
rary injunction against the enforce
ment of the reduced rates. The matter
will be taken before the commerce
court on the determination as to the
injunction. Nevada is most particular
ly interested in the matter, as it means
defeat or relief from excessive freight
rates.

THE TRUCKEE-CARSON PROJECT
Is Prosperous According to the
Department Statistician,
c. J. Blanchard.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Conditions
were never better on the Orland, True
kee-Oarson and Klamath reclamation
projects, according to c. J. Blanchard,
statistician of the Reclamation Bureau,
who has just returned from Is, 900
mile trip of inspection through the far
West. During the nine weeks of his
absence he Travelled an average of 200
miles day.
The record portion of Blanchard S trip
was between Rupert, Idaho, and Mer-
ced, CAL, where he accompanied Secre-
tary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher
to the Yosemite National Park. The
secretary's special train made the dis
tance of 1861 miles without stops, ex-
cept for water, at the average rate of
So miles an hour.
Speaking of his trip Mr.. Blanchard
went on to say: "On the Truckee-Car-
son project active work on the Lahon-
tan dam has begun. A large force of
men is now employed on this structure,
and frst-class outfit has been Install
ed. The work will be pushed actively
all winter, and is expected to be COM
pleted in the spring of 1913, when 100,-
600 acres will probably be added to the
open area of the PROJECT. A good share
of this additional land belongs to the
government, and it includes some of
the choicest tracts on the project.
lone of the interesting things on
the Truckee-Carson project has been
the planting of considerable acreage in
fruit. Horticulturists predict that the
Truckee-Carson section is going to be
second Yakima valley. Some of
the trees which were planted when the
project was first opened in 1905 are
now in bearing and the fruits are:of ex-
cellent color, fine flavor and perfect
shape. Apples, pears and cherries
are the principal varieties of trees
planted. There are also few peaches.
The apple crop is especially promising.
This is the first year of sugar beets
in the Truckee-Carson section. The
sugar factory has just been completed
at cost of $500, 900 and several thous-
and acres has been planted in sugar
beets this year. An interesting fea-
ture of this project is the successful
farming of the Indians on their allott-
ed lands. For the first time they have
been induced to plant alfalfa and their
crops this year were good"
Mr.. Blanchard said he did not look
into the Lake Tahoe matter, but under
stands that the situation remains un-
changed. The Truckee-Carson project
continues to receive water by an ar
rangement with the Truckee River
General Electric Company. 1t is
thought at the Reclamation Bureau
that the government will proceed with
its condemnation suit against the COM
pany. In the face of that suit, it is
said, that the company is helpless to
finance its Improvement project, which
includes the construction of new dam
near the lakes outlet.
