Don't Kill The Birds

The demand for the protection of wild
birds was once based solely on humane
and esthetic grounds; now the demand
is coming to be based i'll addition OH
economic grounds, which will commend
it to large number of men and insure
it more careful hearing in the court of
public opinion. Bird slaughter not long
ago was decried because the native
songsters were being killed at the behest
of millinery fashion.
Now another note is sounded The
increase of insect pests and consequent
reduction of the harvests has correspond
ed with the decrease of the birds In
addition to filling their craws with
insects numerous wild birds feed on
weed seeds, and weeds are handicap
in agriculture.
In several states increasing safeguards
are being thrown around birds because of
their worth as aids to agriculture.

PREDICTS HIGH
PRICE FOR BEEF

The price of beef will be higher this
winter than it has been in the history of
the United States, declared NJ b. Irwin,
live stock agent of the Rock Island, in
al interview published in the Salt Lake
Telegram few days ago. Mr.. Irwin
bases his statement on conditions as he
has found them during the last few
weeks in the stock raising districts of the
West and Southwest.
The wholesale price of beef has al
ready been advanced in the East, he
said, and it will surely be followed by
other advances which will affect all kinds
of meat. No one is to blame for this
advance, nor for those which will follow.
The packing houses are not making any
more money at the advanced prices than
they were making before, the stock
raisers is not making any more, and
neither is the man who is selling hay
and grain.
The whole trouble is due to a big
crop shortage, which has been caused by
drought, and which has affected all the
stock raising districts to more or less
extent.
TO begin with, there is big shortage
in the corn crop, one that will amount to
millions of bushels. This is the princi-
pal feed used for the fattening of cattle.
There is also big shortage in the oat
and wheat crop, to say nothing of the
shortage in the hay and grass crop.
In some of the stock raising districts
it has been necessary for the stockmen
to drive their stock long distances to
secure enough food to keep them alive.
to say nothing of trying to get them in
condition for market.
All kinds of hay is high and there is
no prospect that there will be drop as
there is not nearly enough to feed the
stock now ranging in the West and
Southwest.
The situation is extremely critical,
and | can see nothing for it but skyward
prices for all kinds of meat next fall,
winter and summer.

GOOD SHOWING
ON RESERVATION

The discovery made some weeks ago
by Charlie Emerson on his ground on
the old Walker Lake Reservation, is
showing up exceedingly we'll with the
small amount OF development work so
far done on the property This prop
erty is about twenty miles east of Yer
ington and about five miles from Schurz,
on the Nevada and California railroad.
Some very fine samples of the ore are on
display at the Owl saloon and they show
ghlena and carbonates i'll considerable
value. The ledge on the property is two
ieet in width on the surface and Emer-
son has shaft down about thirty feet
on the ledge, at which point the ledge
has increased somewhat i'll width and
the ore still holds the values, if not a
little better
When this property was first dtscov
cred Mr.. Emerson gave an option on ii
to some Portland, Or, people, but they
did not come through, and it is under
stood that he is now negotiating a deal
with some other parties. Should these
parties take the property the first move
will be to build wagon road to Schurz,
so that the ore extracted can be hauled
to the railroad for shipment.
Just south of the Emerson property is
the Opening Day claim, owned by ID. W
Mckenzie, Ross Thompson and Frank
Bugbee. They have nice showing on
this claim and it is supposed to be the
extension of the Emerson ledge into
this ground. These latter parties are
now doing their annual holding work on
the Opening Day, and will endeavor to
apply it so that it will do the most de
velopment possible OH the property.

.RINGLING BRO. CIRCUS

Announcement is made that on Sept
4th Ringing Brothers Worlds Great
est Shows will give two performances i'll
Reno. As in past years, Yerington WILL
no doubt, send its percentage of the sur
rounding country to swell the throngs
This is the greatest of American circuses
i'll every sense of the word, and an event
not to be overlooked by the lovers of
wholesome amusement
For many years the Ringing Brothers
have maintained the most popular as
well as the best show. This year they
are more than ever giving patron 5 their
moneys worth. Among the many great
attractions under the twelve acres of
canvas are Prof Emory's troupe of
trained baby elephants, the wonderful
Schuman performing horses from the
Circus Schuman, Germany; ''Toque, "
the dog marvel of England, which does
a somersaulting performance on the back
of a swiftlyruuning horse; the wonder
ful Alex family of French aerialists; the
great Crocker family of GYPSY riders;
the Deltoreli family of Hungarian
clowns, once entertainers in the court
of the Shah of Persia; the Bonsetti fam
ily of Italian acrobats, the Castrillion
family of Spanish acrobats; the Hodgini
family of Italian equestrians, and the
fifty greatest clowns on earth
In the menagerie is found Tiny Tom
Tinker, the smallest elephant ever seen
in America, In all there are forty ele-
plants and 200 other wild beasts, COM
prising the rarest of geological speci-
mems. The morning parade is the great
est street spectacle ever devised for cir
Gus purposes. There are three miles of
it and every mile a mile of wonders.
Ringing Brothers circus is twenty
eight years old. 1t began its career as a
one horse affair i'll Baraboo, Wis, when
the now famous brothers were scarcely
more than children. In the face of the
bitterest opposition it grew into the
greatest amusement institution the world
has ever known, Its field extends over
the entire earth 1t has offices i'll every
capital of Europe and Asia and foreign
workshops near Liverpool. 1t employs
over 1000 people, l,2S6 of whom travel
with the show.

COPPER LEADS
IN DIVIDENDS

If mining really needed any testimon,
&c. convince the skeptical that it is one o
the greatest and most profitable ot
American industries, it is furnished b,
the one hundred and twenty three min.
ing companies which have reported to
the Mining World as having paid divi-
dends i'll 1911. The achievement of
these one hundred and twenty three
companies and it is truly a remarkable
one-is the payment of dividends
amounting to sSll, 597 3O4.
When the few companies participating
in these greet disbursements are taken
into consideration, some idea will be
arrived at as to the prominent part the
mineral industry has had in the achieve
ment OF America S industrial supremacy.
1t is of interest to know that, OF the
various metals, copper has been the
greatest factor i'll dividend earnings.
for with only twenty-three copper min
ing companies participating. over two.
thirds of the SSll .597, 504 was derived
from the profits made from the red
metal mines.
OF the s5S $50. .064 paid in 1911 by one
hundred and fifteen American mines and
works, the United States contributed
s23, ,3S5, 577, Canada -, 7se. 395, and
Mexico -, 322, 59l. The balance, S.
279. S45, was contributed by the six met
.llurgical companies.
During the present year the eighty
FIVE properties claSsed as gold silver,
lead and zinc producers have paid to the
shareholders in dividends sl6, OILS ,27S,
with the Goldheld Consolidated as the
largest contributor, with s5,559, 09S

Rig Recovered

A couple of miners from the Nevada
Douglas hired livery team of Bud
Daniels the first of the week to so to the
mine, representing that they would re
turn the next day. They stayed for
three days and Bud then began to look
for his team. After making an automo-
bile trip or two to different parts of the
district with Al Bovard, he found his
team in the corral at Wabuska. The
men were also found there, and it is safe
to say they will not again get one of
Bud 5 teams Whether charge of mis-
demeanor will be brought against the

LYON COUNTy'S CHANCE TO SHOW
HER ACRICULT TURAL PRODUCTS
TO GOOD ADVANTAGE

The individual potatoes should be
wrapped in paper and packed in boxes
for shipping. DO not ship in sacks.
Roots A good display of sugar beets is
especially desired These should be
sent i'll quantities of about twenty beets
and, as i'll the case of potatoes, absolute
uniformity should be aimed at in select
ing the beets. Remember that extreme
size is Objectionable; the typical sugar
beet should not exceed two pounds in
weight
few specimens of extra large man
gels, stock carrots, and other varieties
of field roots can be used
Pumpkins, squash, etc.-A few extra
large specimens of squashes and pump
kins are desired.
Celery-A good show of celery is de
sired. This should be sent in guam
titles of about twenty punches of each
variety. Here again uniformity is inn
portant The punches should be per-
fectly bleached and nearly alike as pos
sible
Fruit-Apples should find an import
ant place i'll the show. Nothing less
than a box of given variety should be
sent and these should be most carefully
selected Every apple must be abso-
lutely sound. Wormy, scabby, imper-
fectly shaped or bruised apples cannot
be used. Uniformity of size, shape and
color is an absolute necessity. Don't
forget
Other varieties of fruit will be re-
ceived i'll any quantities, but only the
choicest specimens are desired II is
planned TO show fruit as largely as pos
sible i'll commercial packages and this
should be borne in mind in deciding
upon the quantity to send for show.
Labeling-All collections should be
labeled carefully, shown by whom
grown. The date of planting and of
harvesting in the case of ANNALS, and
the age of trees in the case of fruit, and
the name of variety should be given if
known. State whether grown with or
without irrigation, and if possible, the
number of irrigations.
Shipment The exhibits from any
county are to be collected by a commit
tee of five citizens, appointed by the
Chairman of the Board of County Com
missioners, who will attend to the for
warding of the same to the Nevada Ex-
pertinent Station for final selection and
arrangement, prior to shipment to Chi
