FALLOk To HAVE LABORATORY
Government VIII Establish Sta
lion Here To Make Saline
Tests In Nevada.

An investigation into possible sources
of potash salts in the United States is
being made this year by the United
States Geological Survey under an APP
propriation by Congress of $50, 900 for
the current year.
One of the possible sources from
which potash may be derived is in as
sociahon with saline deposits left by
the drying up of large bodies of salty
waters, such as are known to have ex-
listed at one time in many of the now
desert areas of southwest Oregon,
Nevada, southeast California, in Utah
and elsewhere. 1t is hoped that by
testing these saline deposits some may
be found that are sufficiently rich in
potash to have a commercial value, and
that there may even be located some
large and important deposits.
AS part of this work the Survey
will soon fit up a temporary labora-
tory at fallon, New, for the purpose of
testing samples Of salines from the
Great Basin or desert areas.
Samples of such alkaline salts will be
tested at this laboratory free of charge
If definite statement of the locality
from which they were obtained be sent
with the samples. The location should
be given by section, township, and
range, if possible, otherwise by dis
tanee and direction from the nearest
post office or settlement. Samples
should be addressed to Hoyt S. Gale,
United States Geological Survey, Fall
Ion, Nevada. Upon receipt of re-
quest small sample sacks for sending
the material by mail will be forwarded
from the above address.
Ii SO requested at the time that a
sample is submitted for test the ac-
eompanying information concerning the
locality of the deposit will be treated
as confidential; and the evidence thu
obtained is not to be used for the pur-
pose of making land Withdrawals.

OUR PROJECTS CONDITIONS
Are Satisfactory According To
Reclamation Record Which
Tells of Work.

The following from the August Rec
lamation Record is an official review
OF our projects development during
July:
AT Lahontan dam, excavation for the
outlet channel and for the left spill
way was continued. The placing of
cement lining and terminal structures
at the forebay for the power plant and
excavation for the power house and
penstock were carried on. The work
of installing the power plant was con-
lined mainly to the framing of cable
way towers, building shop, black
smith shops, oil house. small refrigera-
tor plant, and additional quarters for
men. About $50 men and 40 head, of
stock were employed throughout the
month. Water was turned out of the
main Truckee canal for 10 days for the
purpose of completing the concrete
lined section of the canal and the en-
trance to the power plant forebay.
Other parts Of the distribution system
were in full operation supplying irri-
CATION needs in the lower portions of
the project. The rivers subside to
normal flow early in the month but dur
ing the last two weeks the stages of
both rivers fuctuated under the inilu-
enee of heavy showers and cloud bursts
In the mountains. causing sudden rises
Of muddy water. Considerable ditch
cleaning was necessary in order to
remove water grass and other aquatic
vegetation. The first crop of alfalfa
was harvested. The yield averaged
approximately eighty per cent Of the
usual first crop, due to the unfayorable
weather which had prevailed. The
second crop OF alfalfa and other crops,
including about 1000 acres of sugar
beets, were in good condition. Gener-
al business conditions on the project
were satisfactory. Many inquiries re-
garding the purchase Of lands with
water-rights in private ownership were
received.

Churchill County Bank Will Declare
Dividends.

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen a
notice calling for the annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Churchill
County Bank, which meeting is called
for Wednesday, September 18th. On
this date the usual annual dividend will
be declared, and in addition a good,
healthy amount will be turned into the
banks ever-grewing surplus fund.
Cashier C. w. Foote has made a
highly creditable showing as the banks
executive, and the stockholders of the
institution rightly feel that they are
fortunate in having so efficient CASH
ier.
Recently the editor of this paper had
occasion to look over the county rec
ords, and we were pleasantly surprised
at the large number Of loans that have
been made by the local bank on project
realty.

Spanish War Veterans to Meet.

The Spanish War Veterans will hold
their first department encampment in
Reno on September 14th and 18th. 1t
i believed that many of the G. A. K.
members and w. r. c. ladies' will join
at the eneampment. A general pro-
gram is being arranged consisting of
$ )eeches, festivities and general good
time.
There are 800 members of the Span
ish War Veterans in Nevada and an
effort will be made to have as many
as possible attend the first reunion.
Special rates will be given by the
railroads, and the management of Belle
Isle Park has offered to do all in its
power to assist in the entertainment OF
the visitors. There will be parade
of veterans and appropriate ceremon-
les.

The Moose Ball.

The local Moose lodge will give a
grand ball Saturday evening at the pa
vilion, for which big preparations are
being made. The Moose band will be
in attendance in uniform and no pains
are being spared to make the dance one
long to be remembered. The best of
music will be rendered for the numbers
comprising the evenings program and
as is usual with Moose organizations
all guests will be made royalty well
come. 1t is quite certain that those
who attend will have an excellent op-
portunity to forget busy care for few
hours.
Tickets for the Moose dance are on
sale at all the local business houses.

FIRST HAY SALES or SEASON
Miller & Lux Agent Buys 1900
Tons For Beef Feeding
Purposes.

]. S. Weeks, buyer for Miller & Lux
Company, spent part of last week in
Fallon and while here contracted for
approximately 1900 tons af Truekee-
Carson project raised alfalfa that will
be fed this winter to beef cattle be-
longing to his company. The hay rails
ers who sold to Weeks are: Thos. Dolf,
w. A. Harmon, E. P. Mclean and A.
F. Branch, who are among the valleys
largest pi ioducers of alfalfa. The price
that will be paid for the hay will be
figured at the rate OF IL cents per day
per animal fed and it is figured that
this rate OF fixing compensation will
return the haymen between $500 and
ST. 90 per ton for their forage.
Before leaving Mr.. Weeks gave it
out that in case his firm can buy more
Nevada raised cattle that more hay
will be purchased here for feeding
purposes. Cattle for export are said
to be very scarce in Nevada this year,
and command large price; greater in
fact than for many years, and the
same conditions prevail pretty gener-
ally over the west.
Vim. Willis, who has graduated into
the hay baron class in few short
years sold his alfalfa crop to the Fal-
Ion Strengthening & Supply Company,
as have a majority of his neighbors.
The prices paid in these instances, is
said to be the same figure as that paid
by the Miller & Lux representative.
The Nevada Packing Company
bought through its representative U.
NJ. Slater the crops of l. H. Kent and
F. NJ. Wightman, which will be paid
for at the rate of 12 cents per day for
each animal fed. Others have bought,
while the Western Meat Company rep
resentative came too early and went
away without making any purchases.
w. w. Williams, who perhaps, is in
closer touch with the stockmen who
buy hay, than any other local citizen,
gives it as his opinion that the hayrais-
ers Of this valley will have no trouble
is dsposing of all their hay at the
figures that have governed in the above
sales, but that it is maximum figure
so far as stockmen are concerned.

MORE ABOUT CAMP TERRELL
District Is One of Most Promis-
ing In State and New Work
Augurs Riches.

Al Matt, who went out to the new
camp of Terrell some days ago, secured
promising claim close to the good
ones, and after doing his holding work
returned to Yerington Thursday. He
reports things looking good at the new
camp. Most of the travel is gong by
way of Fallon owing to the shorter
railroad connection and low fare.
The camp was named after V. B..
Terrell, better known as "Jud" Ter
rel. He and his associates had been
working some claims in the old Calico
Hills for some months past.
Terrell and his associates have "a
claims in the district and they have
bonded them to George Wingfeld for
$l50, 900, who now has fifteen men at
work on the ground. One shaft has
been sunk to depth of 100 feet, and at
this depth crosscut is being run to tap
the ledge. On the surface this ledge is
about two feet wide and carries gold
and silver values as high as 81, $40 per
ton. Silver predominates in the ore,
but the gold values run from 800 t,
5000 per ton, while there are stringers
of gold ore that will run as high as 60
ounces to the ton. Another shaft, on
parallel ridge, Is down about 25 feet,
the ledge being about five feet in width
and carrying high-grade streak that
runs as high as $1,000 per ton, while
the whole ledge will run at least SIC
per ton. So far about dozen ledges
have been discovered to crop in the
district. They are all parallel ledges
and run in a northeasterly and south
westerly direction. The formation OF
the district is a lime, porphyry anc
granite diorite.
There are about 100 people in the
camp now permanently located and
more are coming in daily. The camp
now contains one large clearinghouse,
mine bunk house, three saloons, one
corral and feed yard, a general store,
and several other business enterprises
are contemplated in the near future.
In the deep shaft on the Terrell pro.
perty fine flow of water has been en-.
countered and it is being pumped out
with a gasoline engine for domestic
use. The supply is said to be sufficient
for town of two or three thousand
people.

THE WATER USERS MEET AGAIN
Court House Filled Saturday
Evening and Assessment Is
Levied on Lands.

The court house was filled with the
project water users Saturday evening,
at which time further steps were taken
to effect a permanent water users
organization on this project. A reso-
luton was passed by those present en-
powering the levying of an assessment
of five cents on each irrigable acre in
the PROJECT, which will go towards de-
fraying organization expenses.
The committee in charge of the
collecting of funds has already made
preparations to receive these assess
ments from the owners of land and
following the securing of sufficient
funds, articles of incorporation Of the
1ruckee- Carson Water Users Associ-
alton will be formally filed and the or
ganization perfected
The approval of the secretary of the
interior of the proposed organization
will be necessary before standing can
be had with the government, but this
will be forthcoming, 1t Is believed, upon
due presentation of facts. Just now,
Secretary of the Interior Fisher is in
Alaska investigating the status Of the
government coal lands, and an effort 10
being made to induce him to investigate
project conditions before returning to
Washington. 1t is believed that with
his presence here, thorough unders
standing can be had of the motives Of
those behind the movement.

Forty years ago / watched the work
ers on the Suez canal. Many of them
were girls, digging up the sand with
their bare fingers, seooping it into the
hollows of their hands. throwing it in
to the rush basket each had woven for
herself, lifting the baskets to their
heads and carrying the load of 20 or 80
pounds n hundred feet up the bank and
dumping il. Panama excavation is be-
ing done by steam shoyels. Recently
watched one of them at work. The
fingers Of the Egyptian girl had grown
into thousand-times-larger steel claws
that dug and scraped the shattered
rock and dirt; the hollow of the girl's S
hand had developed into scoop contain
ing two cubic yards. or 5000 times as
much as her two hands could hold; the
rush basket has grown into a train of
fiat cars; the shapely arm of smooth
flesh covering muscle and bone had
grown into a great beam moved by
chains, flinging great loads into the
fiat cars: and instead of the 100 feet of
walking, long trains run perhaps 20
miles to dump the load. Development
by men of women's method.

Terrell Now Has Stage Service.

Terrell now has stage line, Charles
Findley having established twice a
week service between Fallon and the
new camp recently. He leaves Fallon
at 6 a. m. each Tuesday and Friday
and leaves Terrell on his return trip at
the same hours Wednesdays and Sat-
urdays. Mr.. Findley uses four horses
on his outfits and makes the 2S mile
drive without change landing his pass
engers at their destinations in good
time. He charges $500 fare for one
way or S5. 90 tor the round trip. Since
service Mr.. Findey has
never made trip empty handed, which
shows that travel in and out of Terrell
is incessan,. An effort is now being
made to have the post Office depart
ment establish a mail service in and
out of Terrell.

From The Lovelock Tribune.

That the beet sugar men are greatly
interested in the field in the vicinity of
Loyelock is evidenced by the fact that
General Manager F. Hinze of the Me-
vada Sugar company, with factory at
Fallon, was once again inspecting the
local territory last Sunday. Accom-
panying Mr.. Hinze were T. j. Cutter,
secretary of the company; e. C. SEN
ole, formerly connected with Callfor-
MIA company and H. E. Roe, represent
ing a number of Eastern capitalists.
All were pleased with the tour of the
valley and pronounced it one of the
brightest beet sugar prospects in the
entire United States.
A. M. Taylor, local representative of
the Fallon concern, who has been most
active throughout this valley on behalf
of the sugar beet industry, accom-
panied the party on its trip. Mr.. Tay-
lor is authority for the statement that
1,200 acres will be planted to the
sugar beet next spring, W.T. but 5000
acres are necessary to insure a factory.
Mr.. Taylor departed this week for
San Francisco and other coast points to
thoroughly investigate the most APP
proved machinery, with the idea in
view of bringing it to this section for
the cultivation and handling of next
years crop. .-Lovelock Review.
