The results of irrigation Of the ario

NEW MINERAL STRIKE
SOUTH OF THIS VALLEY
Gold Vein Cause Excitement. Many
Claims are Staked by
DISCOVERIES

Grant Merrill who motored down
from his home at Woodfords yester-
day, brings news of gold strike III
that section that promises something
in the future.
The strike has been made near the
summit Of Burnside Peak, one OF the
highest mountain peaks in the Sierra.
The work that is now being prosecut-
ed close to 10000 feet in the air
Fortunately the ore bearing vein is
on the south slope, with plenty OF
wood and water enough in nearby
creek to run a stamp mill, if such be
necessary
Mr.. Merrill states that the strike
was made by Basque sheep herder
some months ago. He engaged

| nature. The work undertaken is OF
the most Importance OF anything OF
this character ever attempted III this
county if not in the state. 1t is the
reclamation OF lands that are regard
ed as barren, only sagebrush growing
thereon With wells that could fur
nish water for irrigation such a tract
would easily be worth one hundred
dollars an acre. The land has no SUI
perior in the state All it has lacked
is water and this effort should bring
it about.
Tests have been made OF this land
1t was shown to be OF the finest
quality offered from any district in
the state. In the well sumps that
have been dug it is all soil from the
grass roots to the twelve feet that
have been sunk. No hard pans or
alkalies being found in that distance.
This land with water will make a
score OF elegant farms within a Jew
minutes drive OF this city On ac
count of the extreme depth of loose
soil there has been doubt as to the
success OF dry farming, but with the
water that is being developed this
would be only a second consideration.
The parties who are backing the
project have not stinted any portion
OF their work and deserve unlimited
success in their venture. The future
of this section depends in large de
gree on the success that follows the
work There IS no chance for the
knocker to get in his work in this
undertaking.

Chinks or Japs
Need not Apply

There promises to be an equal Sc
quel to the running of Chinaman
out of Terrill, the new mining camp
thirty miles from Fallon.
The Chink was escorted to the
camp limits and forced to hit the
trail to Fallon, where he told his
story. He had been employed as a
cook in a boarding house and the
mine owners held meeting on his
arrival and decided that hereafter
neither Chinaman nor Jap could live
IN that camp.
Similar action was taken in all the
southern camps with the exception of
Tonopah, and even there there was a
riot over the incoming of Cinnamon.
1t is understood that a test will be
made of this case and that the China
man will endeavor. 20 return to Ter

The parties having under bond a
considerable acreage in this valley Oi
land that is without water, are doing
some very substantial work in an eff
fort to secure underground water for
irrigation purposes.
The first well which was dug on
the Wildes land south OF this city has
been finished This we'll when tested
by pumps shows flow OF over two
hundred gallons per minute. In the
bottom OF the sump several artesian
wells have been bored which assure
a steady supply OF water when pump
ing for irrigation purposes.
1t was the original intention OF
making this one well do service for a
large tract OF land 1t has since
been decided to dig series of such
wells instead OF one. With this idea
in view another we'll has been started.
The new well is being dug at I
pont near the Indian School. 1t is
on the old Ross place. and comprises
some of the finest land in this coun' y
or any other place for thar matter
The sump has been sunk to a dis
tance of twelve feet, at that depth
water is found. The sump is put
down with an idea OF permancy, be-
ing well tmbered and closely Jagged

work. He had been informed that
such violation of the law had been in
practice. This is not the first season
that the river has been dynamited by
parties living along the river. He
has received no assistance in ferrit-
ing out the guilty parties. He fur
ther stated that he is just as anxious
to make the arrests and punish the
guilty parties as are the sporting men
of this section.
MIR. Winters states that the knowl-
edge OF such work has been brought
to him by outside parties. He asks
that the lawobserving sports of this

is possible and he will enforce the

from a few inches on the top to three

Several mining men have made the
trip to look at the property and have
made an offer for the ground on a
