In purchasing the writer would suggest
that each reader OF these notes who
contemplates buying land i'm the sec
ton mentioned take plenty Of time to
inquire into the kind Of soil found on
his contemplated purchase. its depth,
whether spotted or not, and also
whether as u matter Of fact 1t will
produce in satisfactory way the
crops which the man selling it claims

are needed lot OF grief and disap-

Notwithstanding the fact that I'LL
nois and Iowa land is supposed to be
richer and more fertile than land In
New York. some interesting facts have
been noticed in reference to the crop
production In the three states On the
basis OF figures compiled in 1905 1t was
found that the average value Of land
in New York was SALT per acre. in
Illinois $7432 per acre and In Iowa
$57.97 per acre. Notwithstanding this
average valuation Of land, the crop r.
turn per acre in New York for the ten
years prior 60 1905 was $19.42. In ILL
nois $16.7O and In Iowa 1896. The
average land values as well as crop re-
turns for the past FIVE years would
doubtless show a variation from che
above figures. but 1t is quite likely that
the ratio would be about the same.
There j. something in the figures given
worth thinking about

Western fruit growers are much in
terested in recent decision Of the in
terstate commerce commission, which
is that western shippers shall receive
the use OF refrigerator cars whenever
asked without additional cost, 1t being
the opinion of the commissioners that
the charges made by the railroads for
preceding facilities were unreason-
able and unjust This win undoubtedly

In a recent institute which the writer

very little likelihood OF IL, for III the

Several regular shippers or hogs to
the Kansas City market have OF late
been following plan that has been
giving very satisfactory results. The
plan referred to Is simply the putting
of layer Of corn on top Of the bed
ding in the cars In which the hogs are
sent to market In loading the cars
enough room II left SO that the hogs
can root around and ct the corn.
The advantages of this method Or
shipment have been found to be that
the hogs do not bunch up and smoth-
er. are quieter and when they reach
market are ready for a fill of water.
Another thing worth consideration is
the fact that the corn which the hogs
eat en- route costs 40 cents. or what
ever the prevailing price may BE- nc the
point Of shipment. and not $1 per
bushel. the price usually charged nc all
central markets This plan Is easily
tried. and any shipper can demonstrate
its worth first hand.

Miss Lillian X. Malcolm, the for

Elko for the past few days, and
left this morning for Jarbidge. She
says she VII outfit when she arrives

black cat to which Scotty ascribes
all his past luck. This cat has ac-
companied him in several of his
trips into the Death Valley, the
source of his unknown wealth,
where he was followed by men in
search of Scotty's mines. If the

REIMBURSEMENT
Of RATES IS
VERY DIFFICULT
WESTERN HOADS MAY NOT FILE
NEW COMMODITY TARIFFS
BY OCTOBER Is.

REIMBURSEMENT of Western freight
rates to conform to the order of the
Interstate Commerce commission I'M
der the ruling the Salt Lake-Reno
and Spokane rate case is one of the
biggest jobs that Western freight
men have ever undertaken, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. The conference
on the reimbursement of rates has
been in progress in Chicago for over
seven weeks and it is not near a
close. 1t is serious question
whether or not the railroad COM
panies affected by the change in
rates will be able TO file their new
rates with the Interstate Commerce
commission on October ID The rate
should go into effect on November
10 and the railroads must filed
their schedule before it goes into
effect.
J. A. Reeves, general freight agent
for the Oregon Short Line, who re-
turned from Chicago Tuesday after
seven weeks session with the
freight agents of the Western roads
affected by the ruling of the COM
MISSION, stated last night that the
job of readjusting the rates was
of such magnitude that it was al
most impossible to tell when the
roads could get through with it
There is a new rate to be made or
nearly 800 commodities to Salt Lake
City, another rate to be figured
out for Reno and still another fol
Spokane, to say nothing of the vari
Gus rates that must be figured on
for other points.

ALL IS Serene ON
WONDER MOUNTAIN
HOSTING ORE IN CLOCK.LIIIE
REGULARITY AND HAULING
1T TO THE MILL.

Things at the Nevada Wonder
very much resemble a convalescent
patient. Everything that had to be
done has been done, the crisis is
past, the patient is growing stronger
day by day. The mine had to be
opened up, the stations enlarged
the timbering of the shaft put in
repair, a lot of machinery installed,
and other things too numerous to
mention, before ore could be ex-
tracted in quantity and economic
ally.
These things have all been done,
the mine is producing ore as fast
as the mill can batter it into pow
der and take the gold and silver
from it, and the ore bodies are be-
ing gotten ready for increased ex-
traction. The men are thoroug hly
organized, each individual going tC
his place as the shifts change, do
ing his work, and going home again
In fact, it much resembles an oil,
established concern, with each
like its predecessor. the output
steady and nothing out of the or.
binary happening.
When any little thing happens tc
the machinery, Master Mechanic
Ward is there with his assistants
and little or no delay is caused
1t is simply case of keep OF
going and making fortunes for the
mine Wonder News.

AL ID. Myers, the pioneer mining
man of Goldfield, with a companion
whose name could not be learned,
left Searles last week by stage for
Ballarat 1t is their intention to
make careful inspection of the
Radcliff property near Ballarat. 1t
seems highly probable that some
thing interesting will soon be un-
der way in that part of the Pana-
mint range. With improved mod
ern methods of treating rebellious
ores, many properties now lying idle
in that section could be made very
highly profitable Notwithstanding

MORE ORE FOR THE SHELTER

The Western Nevada Miner says
the Wheeling Gold Range company.
operating at the old camp of Doug
lass, above Nina, made a good strike
last week. The strike is gold, but
besides this the company has a
high-grade lead-silver deposit, and
the present work is being done
mainly on copper ledge. which, by
prosecuting, shows a width of 25
feet. The ore gives values of %
per cent copper, besides carrying
good values in gold and silver.
Superintendent Noble. Of the com
pany, has large quantity of this
ore out ready for shipment to the
Mason Valley smelter at Thompson
as soon as the smelted is blown
in. The estate of the Wheeler Gold
Range company consists of large
group of patented claims, the own
efs of which are Wheeling, West
Virginia, capitalists and business
men.
