WHERE EARS GROW SHARP

A French balloonist has recorded
the clearness with which sounds
coming from the surface of the
ground can be heard at a high
altitude. At the height of 5000
feet the ringing of horses hoofs
on a hard road was clearly audible.
At 1000 feet the splashing sound
made by ducks in pond was heard.
The barking Of dogs and the
Gro wing of cocks could be heard at
seven or eight thousand feet.
Thes" sounds penetrated through a
white -four of cloud that hid the
cart" from sight, says Harpers
Weekly. In the perfect silence of
the air the Investigator was
startled by what seemed stealthy
footsteps close at hand. 1t was
ascertained that this noise was
caused by the stretching Of the
ropes and the yielding Of the silk
as the balloon continued to expand.

1t Is reported that this is for the
purpose of enabling the railroad
company to reclaim the ground
that is within the right of way and
which the Company sold years ago
and upon which many of the bust

that the railroad company had no
right to dispose of any of it's right

not we are unable to say.

WILL Ask FOR SUGAR BOUNTY

This paper has been given to
understand that Nevadans, realiz-
ing the Importance of promoting
to the beet sugar industry in this
state. will ask the legislature to
pass an act during the present ses-
sion placing nominal bounty on
all sugar manufactured in the state
from beets grown within the state.
Now. Nevada has been crying for
Industries for a decade; the
Importance of promoting manu-.
factories has heen apparent for a
long time and following the
examples set by New York,
Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas, and
the other progressive sta ties, a
bounty on sugar manufacturing to
cover a period of several years will
do much to guarantee to sugar
investing capital the sincere
desire of Nevada to encourage it. g
The usual bounty given on sugar
manufactured within certain states
has been, we understand, one cent
per pound, although Kansas went 81
far as to give a premium of two
cents per pound on sorghum sugar
manufactured from Kansas raised
cane.
Now, the one point that should
be remembered in considering the
measure legalizing the giving of q
nominal bounty upon Nevada
produced sugar, will not be 9
sectional measure. The time will
come when, if the Fallon factory
proves a success, and it will, thai
Washoe, Humboldt, Elko, Lyon
Clark and other counties will neet
factories, for the adaptabity OF
Nevada's soil to sugar beet culture

We understand that those
members of the legislature, who
have in view. the introduction OF
this bounty measure, will make thu
figure merely nominal and that thu
added taxation to come from thu
proposed meas urc, if made a law
is so light that the burden upon thu
states taxpayers will be nil. o.

SHORTY HARRIS
FINDS TUNGSTEN

When will the discoveries of new
riches-of unexpected values to
mankind-cease in the desert
country. Apparently never until
research has found more tina n
ample compensation for the heat
and superficial barrenness of the
whole arid region-when Nature
in her generous bounty had more
than evened things up.
The latest discovery is the find
ing of big body of tungsten ore
by no less a parsonage than
shorty Harris, the dlscoverer of
the Bullfrog district.
Shorty has just returned from a
prospecting trip of two months
duration: He has been prospect
ing at about 10 miles southwest of
-Rhyolite, in the Wingate Pass
section. In Wingate Pass: where
Death Valley Scotty claimed his
very rich mine was located, Shorty
has some very promising gold
prospects.
But il was at APPOINT about Is
miles from there that this les;
prospecting party found the
tungsten. 1t seems that it was

who ever drinks of the liquors that
inebriate. but who ever has a
nose and an eye for the float and
the groupings carrying precious
metals that made the discovery,
after other members of the party
had passed over the same surface
and saw nothing. Shorty following
did see, and chipping from a ten
foot blowout showed fresh
fractures of rock containing that
which the party pronounced t.
be tungsten.
One of the party was a mctallur.
gist and had some tungsten from
lranpah, and comparison showed
it to be identical with the new find.
Generous samples were sent out
for thorough tests.
Shorty got back here night be
fore last, and has not had time tt
hear from the samples sent out.
He is firm in belief that he has
made discovery of Il rich ant
large body of tungsten, and thai
his worries will soon be at an end
This find was made twelve miles
from Hidden Springs, which IL
the nearest water supply nov
known.
At ii place fifteen miles from the
tungsten deposit Shorty discovered
immense groupings of a vein which
yields rich silver ore. Assay.

The ore shows bromide of silver
