audience for "Gentlemen's Evening""
under the auspices of the Hammond
Woman's club at the Masonic temple
last night.
The intellectual pabulum that the

which is considered very good for a
lyceum entertainer. especially when
that laugh lasts an hour and a half,
as was the case last night with Mr..
Bingham and his audience.
Mr.. Bingham's versatility is his
strongest feature. and this is enhanced
by the mastery of the departments with
which he chooses to entertain. 1t is
merely question of taste as to wheth-
er he was at his best in what ne termed
his "accumulative humor' talks or his
gyrations of "A Hot Time on the
piano, his masterful violin renditions OF
classical numbers or his singing. His
characteristic originality is striking
and this coupled with his sense of hui

to his success.

TO INCREASE OUTPUT
OF TUNGSTEN MINES

E. l.. Fletcher, formerly of Tono-
pah, manager, and George H. Lins-
ley, accountant for the United States
Tungsten corporation, left by stage
yesterday morning for the mines at
the Hub, where they will remain
for some time before making an
other visit to Ely.
Mr.. Fletcher expects to increase
the output of concentrates from the
mill very soon, as a larger supply of
water will soon be available and an
other shift will be put to work.
Up to this time the mill has been
running but one shift a day and
doubling of the time it will be.
operated will result in more than
doubling the output.
Another load of concentrates were
delivered at the Nevada Northern
freight depot yesterday where about
fifteen tons are now on hand. A
shipment will be made as soon as
the quantity for minimum car
load-twenty tons-is accumulated
which will be in very short time.

outlook for the coming summer from
a business standpoint. Not only
are people being attracted here by
the great mineral resources OF the
county, but great attention is being
shown to the agricultural resources
as well. Northern humboldt has
some Of the best agricultural val
leys in the state, dotted with beau
tiful ranches, where there is an
abundance of water for irrigation
purposes and the ranges are noted
for the fine stock raised in this sec
ton. That is not all, for another
class of farmers are coming in and
the vacant land that a few years
ago was thought to be worthless
is being taken up and homes are
taking the place of what looked to
be a barren waste Of sagebrush
land.
This change is not taking place
in any particular section, but is
spreading from one end of the
| county to the other. The Quinn
River valley has already quite a
large population of so-called dry
farmers, who have established good
substantial homes on their tracts 81
land. Another section at Winnie
muccas very doors is Grass val
| ley, only five or six miles south
of here. The vacant lands of this
particular section are rapidly being
| located and there is considerable
of settlement of people there now
all good citizens and people who
have come to stay and reap the
benefits of Nevada soil.
Pleasant valley, further south, is
a very desirable locality, with ricf
| loamy soil and is not only wei
adapted to dry farming but al
abundance of water can be procured
there from wells. The Buena Visit;
valley and the valley of the Hum
boldt are other sections that ar
receiving attention and large acre
ages of land are being taken u
for homes

DAMAGE BY FLOODS IN
SOUTHEASTERN NEVADA

The recent flood did great deal
of damage in the Moapa valley
by the waters from the Muddy val
ley and the drainage from Pahrana-
gat joining and inundating many
of the farms. Exact details or es-
Inmates are indefinite, but it is said
the damage is such that the melon
crop will be retarded. In spite of
this disaster it is expected that close
to 200 cars of melons will be
shipped this year if the acreage
planted is successful. - Caliente

BREEDING GRAIN
FOR ALASKA AT
COLORADO POINT

An odd plan is on foot to make
the Colorado mountains sort Of
proving ground for agriculture in
Alaska. OF course there are a
good many kinds of agriculture in
Alaska that do not need proving
They are already an established Sue
cess, both scientifically an3 com
mercially. Hundreds of tons of po-
tatoes, oats and cabbage are grown
and sold in the territory each year
and there are a dozen other success
full crops.
But Alaskan nights are too COO TO
mature string beans and corn. for
instance, and the question is wheth-
er hard, cold-resistant varieties
could not be produced by s9ectivc
breeding that would give Alaskans
all the fresh luxuries from their
garden that 'the states" have.
There are farms in the Colorado
mountains near Denver that have
an elevation of nearly 10000 feet
and the conditions at this altitude
in Colorado are almost identical
with conditions at 1000 feet eleva-
ton near the Arctic Circle That
is, the days are warm and sunshiny
but the nights are always cold even
in summer, while the severe win
ters are apt to kill all but the
hardest perennialS-plants that have
been brought up to that sort OF
thing.
A bill was recently introduced in.
to congress for the establishment
of just such work in Colorado anC
also for experiments that woult
breed drough resistant vegetables
for the desert.
The methods employed in this ex
detrimental work are exceedingly in
teresting. If, for instance, it wa'
decided to find a wheat that woulC
mature in very cold climate like
that in the hill country north O
the Arctic Circle, this is how i
would be done:
First, the hardest seed of al
the hardest varieties would be oh
tanned from Russia, Scandinavia
Canada and Alaska. Then it woul
be planted in a place where
would be likely to mature. Their
might be just one stalk that, fror
some mysterious strain of breedin
or force of circumstance, woul
stand unframed by the autum
frosts. Its seed would be treasure
and the next year each grain woul
be carefully planted and guarded S
that the strain should be increased
and still further and severer test
made on it until it was so hardene
that full annual crop was assuret
With such a wheat develope
there are hundreds of thousands {
fertile acres in the Alaskan valley
that might be farmed to help fee
the world. The same is true (
many other staple cereals and veg
tables for which the markets of tt
world are calling.
And some of these importal
& problems may soon be in couri
: of solution on a western mountai
' top.
