LARGE PRODUCTION OF
COPPER BY ELY MINES

During June the Nevada Consolidat-
ed shipped 2S2,222 tons of ore to the
Steptoe Valley smelter, or an aver
age of 9,507 tons per day. During an
eight day period of July 85,123 tons
were shipped, daily average of TO-
$40 tons, and predictions are made
that the ore shipments for July viii
exceed even those of the previous
month
The report that the Giroux has
made an agreement with the Nevada
Northern railroad for the shipment Of
500 tons of ore per day is denied by
F. P. Mills, general manager of the
Giroux, who has just returned from
Duluth, he stating that while some ore
will Of course be taken out in the pro-
cess of development, it is unlikely that
any shipments Of magnitude will be
made until the question Of freight
rates over the Nevada Northern is
definitely settled.
Owing to the heavy inflow Of water
on the 1400 foot level of the Giroux,
work will necessarily have to be sus-
pended until the sinking of the Giroux
shaft to the 1900 foot level has pro-
gressed sufficiently to permit OF pump
ing and draining the 1400 foot level.
Drifting, however, continues on the
new ore bodies encountered on the
1900 foot level near the old Alpha
workings.

PREDICTS LARGE INCREASE
IN IRRIGATED LANDS
(Spao;ol fo tho Gilyar Sfatel
Especial to the

SPOKANE, Wash, Apg s.-Dr.
Samuel Fortier, chief of irrigation in
vestigations for the United States de-
partment of agriculture, who is max
ing a tour of the Pacific northwest
states, said in Spokane that it is only
a question of few years when many
farms, orchards, truck gardens and
berry fields in most of the eastern, cen
tral and southern states will be water
ed by artificially supplied moisture.
Continuing, DIR. Fortier said among
other things:
"The growers have seen or heard of
the successes in the irrigated districts
of the west and they realize the bene-
fits of this form of insurance against
deficient rainfall or providing meth
ods to supply moisture to growing
crops at the proper time. This can be
regulated by employing any of the sew
eral systems praeticed in the Pacific
coast country and elsewhere.
"Just now the department is max
ing a series of experiments to deter
mine the amount of water required
for irrigation as well as the best time
to apply the moisture. We have ar
ranged for practical demonstration
IN one or tne NalleyS west ol oPo'
kane. where the work will be under
the direction of stephen Jayne, ir-
ration expert and investigator for the
department of agriculture.
" We also are encouraging wheat
and grain farmers in tn semi dis.
tricts of Washington TO place some OF
their holdings under irrigation and de
vote more attention to diversified
farming. This would not only permit
from three to four times as many peo'
pie TO make homes on the land, but
also means larger and more profitable
crops There is an abundant water
supply at depths ranging from 50 to
100 feet and less in numerous in.
stances. Besides, the farmer will find
it pays to diversity and rotate his
crops. -

GOOD HAY CROPS IN
EASTERN WASHINGTON

Thirty-fv thousand acres of hay
lands in the Colville valley, in Stew
ems county, Washington, north of Spo-
kane, restored by the reclamation ser
vice. are yielding average crops of
three tons to the acre this season.
The profit to the grower is from $l6
to SIS a ton. The crop is the largest
in the history of the county. 1t is
estimated that the hay production in
the state Of Washington this season
will be about 925 900 tons, as against
S15 900 tons in 1910: The yield in the
Kittitas valley, west Of Spokane, is
placed at 100000 tons. The grain and
fruit crops in Stevens county also will
be larger than ever before, the acre
age in wheat and other grains being
25 per cent larger than in 1910.
Spokane county will harvest its largest
grain and fruit crops this season. The
wheat, barley and oats yield is placed
at more than 100000 bushels, and it
is expected there will be between 700
and 500 ears of commercial apples.
Other counties in eastern Washington
report remarkable yields of wheat and
other grains.

MANY CHANGES
IN PROPOSED Law

Many radical changes in the immi-
grafton law are provided under the
terms of a bill that was introduced in
the senate yesterday by Senator Dill
lingham, former chairman Of the SEN
ate committee on immigration and of
the joint immigration commission.
Most of the Innovations suggested
are the result of the investigations of
the commission.
The measure proposes to repeal the
Chinese exclusion laws, except 90 far
as they relate to naturalization. In
their place is substituted an amend
ment to the general immigration laws
which provides for the exclusion from
the United States of persons who are
not eligible to become citizens Of the
United States by naturalization.
The exclusion does not apply, how
ever, to government officers, travellers
and members OIL the learned profes-
sions.
Various features of the present Chi
nese exclusion laws are made appli-
cable to all immigrants and except the
manual laborers not eligible to citizen
ship by naturalization, the bill pro-
poses to give Asiatic immigrants the
legal status accorded to all other inn
migrants. The only portion of the
various Chinese exclusion laws not re-
pealed is that section Of the act of
1882 which provides that no state or
Federal court shall admit Chinese to
citizenship.
Senator Dillingham; 3 bill also pro-
vides for the exclusion from the Unit
ed States of "all male aliens sixteen
years Of age or over who are physical
ly capable of reading and writing,
but unable to read and write in some
language or dialect" !" 1t provides,
however, that an admissible alien
may bring in his father or grandfather
over ffty-fve years old, or SON not
over eight years of age, whether such
persons are literate or not.
The bill makes it unlawful under
company to bring to the United States
toned, or any alien not eligible to
naturalization.
Senator Dillingham's bill provides
garding the admissibility of alienns
snail be appointed Dy the secretary
OF commerce and labor. Under the
present law the boards are appointed
by the immigration commissioners at
the various ports.
| The contract labor provision of the
immigration law is retained practical
/ ly in its present form, but to the ex
cluded classes "persons who have
come in consequence of advertisements
/ for manual laborers published in q
foreign country are added. There il
provision for the criminal prosecution
of corporations, companies or persons
who solicit or assist in the importa
tion of contract laborers.

PRFPAR|NCFORSAN
DIEGO EXPOSITION

The curiosity of residents of Win
now, by a sight of a long train of
freight ears passing through town
the cars all loaded with long sections
of waterpipe and the pipe labelled
Z" San Diego Exposition, I9l5.'
The explanation of the unusual
sight is this: The citv of San Diego
is repairing for the Panama California
exposition, to be held there throughout
the entire year of 1915, and one of the
first great problems that confronted
the San Diego fathers was to provide
an ample water system for the great
fourteen hundred acre park, known as
Balboa park, which has been chosen as
the site of the exposition. There is
ample supply of water, drawn from the
watersheds in the mountains back of
the city, but in order to distribute it
through the great park nearly eight
thousand tons of cast iron waterpipe
are required In other words, this is
just about fifteen miles of pipe.
The contract for this pipe was given
to the United States Pipe company, of
Birmingham, Alabama. 1t will require
375 flat cars to transport it to San
Diego from the factory. These will be
made up into thirteen trains, and
these trains, in moving from Birming-
ham to San Diego, will pass over the
rails of fourteen different railway
systems.
The United States Pipe company
the railroad companies concerned got
together and decided to give the city
of San Diego and the Panama Cali
fornia exposition big boost through
the handling of this tremendous ship
ment across the continent, and so a
representative of the city of San
Diego was sent to Birmingham at its
expense to have painted on every car
load out from Birmingham for San
Diego the legend: "San Diego Expo.

SIX VALUABLE HORSES LOST

and Valued at $500. II. H."
With Record of 2:1eA,
Worth 100000.

Fire shortly after one o'clock this
afternoon, supposed to have original
ed from burning rubbish at the rear
of the Hotel Downing, almost COM
pletely destroyed the Frank Waters
livery and feed stable on First avenue
east and burned six horses. The fire
was discovered shortly after one
o'clock, in the west sheds near the
hotel. The flames spread so rapidly
that in short time all the rear barns
were in flames. Six valuable horses
lost their lives. A valuable trotter,
Miss Fashion," owned by r. F.Fitch,
was among those burned. Two vaIu-
able trotters belonging to Harry Hen
we're also burned. Jack Harrison
lost one of his horses, and the c. c.
Sheppard saddle horse was also
burned. Will Ballinger's valuable
horse was also among those burned.
Some of the horses liberated were
burned in passing from the building.
Chas. McCulloch's horse was badly
burned in escaping and several others
we're burned about the back and legs.
Owing to the heat it was impossible
TO approach the fire and it will be
some time before the bodies are re,
covered.
Being a short distance away the
Ire department made quick response
and in a few minutes two streams
were under control in a few minutes
we're under sontrol in a few minutes
but the heat was so intense while il
lasted that the horses were probably
killed almost instantly. Many horses
in the barn were freed and turned in,
10 the streets. Some of the burned
horses were freed by the men at the
barn, but being so bewildered by the
fire and smoke, failed to make their
escape. All the buggies and harness
in the front or brick part of the barn
were saved.
The chief loss is the valuable
| horses owned by Jack Harrison and
Frank Fitch. Mr.. Fitch's trotter

2:22A and Mr.. Fitch had refused a
$500 offer on her. The PAGER, y. II
