The Minneapolis symphony Orchestra


 Among the great orchestras of America probably none is attracting more attention and favorable comment than the Minneapolis Symphony or chestra, which, during the last few years, has won unprecedented sue cesses throughout the west, culminat- ing in a concert at Orchestra hall, Chicago, last March which was little less than a musical sensation," said member of the Birmingham Festival association. "Wherever it has appeared critics and public have accorded the highest praise to the orchestra and hailed its conductor, Emil Oberhoffer. as one of foremost conductors of the day, ranking him with Nikisch, pr. Muck and Felix Weingartner. Much in terest attaches to the eastern tour thls orchestra is to make next March when 1t is to be heard in New York and other eastern cities. The orchestra has S5 players and is maintained by guar antee fund of $G5.O0O per year sub scribed by the public spirited people of Minneapolis. It may be that this or chestra will be engaged for the next Birmingham festival"

questions at an entertainment i'll the
opera house. Among the questions
were the following:
will Emmet Boyle be retained as
State Engineer -
will Barney Reymers take trip TO
Germany this year?"
will Lyon County's new courthouse
be built in Yerington or DAYTON ~
The woman. who had gone into a
trance ID to answer the questions, gave
negative answers to the first two and to
the third answered that the new court
house would be built in Dayton
We are just reminded of this little in
cident by postal card from Barney,
who has been in Germany for several
months, and who expects to sail for
home OH the 7th of next month. You
know how closely the other two ques-
tions were answered. Who paid her?

CAMP OF AURORA
BEING REVIVED

The Dickev brothers, who have just
returned from prospecting trip in the
vicinity of Aurora, report considerable
activity in that old camp The Tonopah
Mines and Exploration Company has
had an expert examining and sampling
properties i'll Aurora for the better part
of the past year, and force of men has
been employed retimbering the shaft on
the old Humboldt mine. This shaft is
400 feet in depth and has, SO far, been
retimbered to depth of 800 feet. 1t will
be continued to the bottom of the shaft
and the shaft will then be dropped down
another 200 feet. This shaft is sunk i'll
a ledge 90 feet in width and the entire
ledge, estimated by close sampling, will
mill i'll the neighborhood of S12 per ton
i'll gold. The shaft is drained of water
down to the 400 level by tunnel about
600 or 700 feet in length, but when sink
ing to lower depth begins the water will
have to be pumped up to the level of the
drain tunnel
This property is one of the old ones i'll
the camp, and has produced some mil
lions in bullion. When the mine is in
shape it is the intention of the company
to erect 100-ton mill to reduce the ore.
Old Aurora has record of producing
something over $50, 900, 600 in gold III
early days, and there are no very deep
workings in the camp yet, owing to the
floods of water encountered at a depth
of from 200 to 500 feet 1t will surprise
no one in this section if the camp again
becomes producer on as large scale
as in former years. All it needs to do
this is the unwatering and further de-
velopment of the properties.

YERINCTON COPPER
WILL Be OPERATED

]. Il. Caine, of Salt Lake, was an ar
rival in Yerington a few days ago, and
after visiting the Wheeler gold property
on the East Walker, in Which he is in
terested he took look at the Yerington
Copper property on the east side of the
valley. He was accompanied to the
gold property by Mr.. Walden, who is in
charge, and Mr.. Duncan MacVichie of
Salt Lake, and Al Marsal accompanied
him on his inspection trip to the Yering-
ton Copper. Mr.. Caine was delighted
with the way the Wheeler is performing,
and he and Mr. MacVichie were more
than pleased with what they saw at the
Yerington Copper. Mr.. Caine is one of
the heavy holders in this copper prop
erty, which is owned and controlled by
bunch of Salt Lake people. Consider
able work has already been done OH the
property and it has responded very
nicely to development work. 1t is the
intention of the company to resume de-
velopment work on the mine very
shortly, and as soon as the new smelter
at Thompson is completed the Yerington
Copper will be one of the first custom
ers of the smelter, as there is lot of
shipping ore now blocked out in the
ground ready for extraction and reduc-
ton. 1t is high-grade ore, too, and the
returns from it will go long way
towards paying the expenses of further
developing the property Our predic-
ton is that the Yerington Copper will
soon prove to be as good piece of cop
per ground as some of the good ones on
the west side of the district
Mr.. Caine and Mr.. MacVichie left for
Salt Lake on Tuesday afternoon train.

decided to locate here permanently, and
this week he purchased from John Fin
ming the ice plant and bottling estab-
lishment on Bridge street, also the resi-
dence property of Mr.. Filming Mr..
Coddington is a man of experience in
the ice business and the manufacture of
soft drinks, and will undoubtedly keep
the plant up to the high standard of
efficiency sustained by the former pro
prietor, and we welcome him to our
community. Genial John Filming and
wife will be missed by the people of
Yerington. but what will be Yerington 5

Too Much Water

When the water table is not very far
down from the surface care should be
taken not to apply SO much water that
it is raised and the feeding area of the
roots i'll that way restricted. Over-irri.
CATION will aggravate or cause water
logging of the soil and the attending
accumulations of alkali. Wherever the
ground water is within two feet of the
surface, as on some river bottoms. alfalfa
does not thrive and generally dies in
from three to four years.

MORE GOOD NEWS
FROM MT. GRANT

frank Meyers came down from Mount
Grant this week, where he has been
leasing on the Graham property, located
at the head of Cat Creek. The showing
OH tins property is all excellent one so
Iar as developed, the vein being fully |
inches III width and the ore averaging
500 per ton i'll gold. BY sorting it he
makes ii high grade running from $500
to n 900 per ton. This is certainly a
fine showing when it is taken into con-
sideration that the deepest shaft is only
Il feet below the surface. Mr.. Meyers
has several tons of this high grade
sacked- ready for shipment.
The locator of the property and the
leasers have been enjoined from ship
ping the ore, a grub stake claimant"
having appeared on the scene. Mr..
Meyers is an old Colorado miner, having
had charge OF some of the big ones in
that State and his opinion is not to be
overlooked. He reports considerable
N''''N ~ tiAhe @N1tipii, anu many pup
critics are responding nicely to the de-
velopment work being done on them.
The old placer ground up Lappan Can
Won it to be worked BY the owners, who
are now putting i'll dam to store water
for sluicing parposes.
The Kiekard boys, just north of the
Graham property, have a shaft down 100
feet on 3-foot vein that will average
$50 per ton in gold. They are contem-
plating putting i'll 5-stamp mill, and
are piling up ore on the dump.
Mike Knof is developing a property
for a Los Angeles Company and has
cross-cut tunnel i'll about 100 feet cut
ting the vein. Drifts both WAYS on the
vein. which is to ) feet wide, show an
average of so gold ore.
On the Chitman property development
is going ahead showing a vein that
promises TO make a rich mine
The Wilcox property, on Cottonwood
Greek, is showing up well and has the
ear marks of big mine.

section seem to think it is going to be
the coming gold district of the State.

PUMP IRRIGATION
The TRUE METHOD

f. d. Tyndall, representing Baker &
Hamilton paid the valley a business
visit this week He is interested i'll get
ting the farmers of the valley to put in
pumping plants to irrigate their farms,
and lie considers this method of irriga-
tion the only true system especially
where so great supply of water exists
so close to the surface of the ground as
it does i'll Mason Valley. MIR. Tyndall
thinks dry farming may be all right in
certain sections of certain States but ir-
rigation shows that the advantage of the
irrigated farm over the dry farm is from
Is to so per cent, at least these are the
approximate figures where both systems
of farming have been thoroughly tried
out, especially in the big Sacramento
and San Joaquin vallies in California.
Mr.. Tyndal visited the Brisson ranch
and pumping plant i'll this valley and
gives Mr.. Brisson the credit for being
the pioneer i'll this district to use the
found that Mr. Brisson was getting all
the water necessary, from reasonable
depth, to irrigate loo acres, and with a
plant and wells that ought not to have
cost over 81, 500.
After the installation of such a system
the cost of maintenance is much less
than any other system tha can be de-
vised
For the past ten years or mole the
TIMES has preached the policy of pump
irrigation for this section. 1t is GER
tainly the proper system and any person
who will take the trouble to visit the
Brisson ranch and investigate that plant
will be convinced of the fact.
There is not small land owner in the
valley who has been mixed up in the
lawsuits of the past ten wears who would
not be better off today had he, at the
time the Miller & Lux suit was brought,
thrown away his title to any water right
he supposed he had, forgotten that he
ever laid claim to such thing and in
stalled a pumping system of his own.
Now that there is an electric power
line through the valley, from which
power can be obtained at reasonable
rates, the farmer who figures on putting
in a pumping plant can have his choice
of electricity or gasoline for motive
power.
At the present time several farmers
are contemplating putting i'll pumping
plants, and in few years from now they
will probably he quite numerous about
the valley. The pumping plant will re-
lease you from all lawsuits regarding
water rights, all assessments i'll ditch
companies, give you ranch free from
weeds and assure YOU all the water YOU
require every month i'll the year, wheth-
er the season is a dry or wet one;
whether there is plenty of snow i'll the
mountains i'll the winter and water in the
river in the summer or not.
