CASE OF TICK FEVER

One of the first cases of "tick"
or spotted fever seen in Lovelock
for some time is now being attended
by DIR. F. M. West. The patient

SHIPMENT FROM ELLIS
LEASE At JESSUP
AVERAGED $37.

1t is given out that the carload
of ore shipped to the Hazen samp-
Ter from tho camp of Jessup, by
A. W Elfis who is leasing on the
Mohawk claims III that camp aver
aged $500 ton
This is not as high as some of The
miners at Jessup figured it would &c
and at that figure there is not
very much profit in it. However the
work of getting out another carload
will progress rapidly. The ore of
the first shipment was not sorted
very fine,. and more attention in this
respect will be given the next ship
lnent.
Word comes from Jessup, that
phenominally rich streak of high
grade was struck on the Ellis lease
last Monday. The< strike was mad,
on the 100 level. The drillings
in the bottom of 20 foot winze,
of free gold and when panned, a
little less than $4,000 in gold was Sc
cured. An immediate investigation
OF the strike was made, but details
were not given out.

SHIPMENTS OF GYPSUM
ORE FROM LOVELOCK
TO Be RESUMED

R. s. Phillips, superintendent of
the Western Gypsum Company, own
ers of the gypsum mines short dis
tance northeast of Lovelock, arriv-
ed in town last Monday and made
arrangements to begin immediat
shipment of the 5000 tons of gyp-
sum ore at the railroad siding at
Kodak to the smelter at Reno.
Several months ago, the gypsum
company were hauling out ore from
the mine and steadily shipping to
tho reduction works at Reno, but
of sudden the. work was suspen-
ded, and the reasongiven out at
that time was that the plant at
Reno was overcrowded and could
not handle the ore. No more ore
was shipped to Reno, but the teams
continued plying between the rail
road siding and the mines until the
1000 tons of ore was piled up at
the siding, and then the hauling
was also stopped.
Now the company will at once
ship this ore to Reno and treat ii.
In preparation for the shipping, con-
tractor R. Cubbon is building new
derrick at Kodak to load the ore
into the cars.

LOCKERS ON A BUSINESS
TRIP To The COAST

Peter Anker, the well known
Loyelocker returned Friday from
a three weeks business and pleasure
"trip to San Francisco and other Cal
ifornia points. He went down for the
purpose of buying some new mach
inery for the Anker ranches in the
valley, and also to see his two
daughters, Miss Minnie, who is
training for the nurses profession
in a San Francisco hospital and Miss
Florence who is studying music in
conservatory in San Jose.
While down on the coast, MI.
Anker looked up number of form
er Lovelockers. He saw John A.
Jurgensen in Oakland. Mr.. Jurg-
ensen Is in the dairy and produce
business, and has been doing well,
in spite of a recent financial loss
due to the failure of bank, in
which he had money deposited.
Mr.. Anker saw w. G. Noteware
and family in Berkeley and they
well. Mr.. Noteware expected to
make trip up to Lovelock In a
few days. At San Jose, Mr.. Ank-
er saw A. l.. Bachrodt and wife. Mi.
Bachrodt is rapidly regaining his
strength, but has as yet made no
definite plans about returning to
Lovelock. The Theriens were visi-

SAYS NOW DRY VALLEYS WILL BE.
CONE FERTILE FARMING REGIONS
C. A. Turner, expert pumping for irrigation, dis
coniton along the Lower Humboldt

c. A. TWner, well known real
estate man of California, who has
been investigating farming con-
ditions in Humboldt county for the
last three weeks departed yesterday
for San Francisco, where he will
confer with associates on PROPOSE
tions he has looked over for irriga-
ling land by means of pumping the
sub-surface waters.
Mr. Turner is the man who dis
cussed the farming of arid lands re-
Gently with S. r. Young, which was
reported in the Humboldt Star that
paper, however, not giving his name
He has completed a thorough inves-
tigation of the drainage system
of the Humoldt and talks interesting
ly of conditions for farming in all
the valleys bordering on the lower
portion of the river.
He gives 1t as his opinion that
Pleasant valley, as well as Grass
valley will eventually become great
farming regions through the pump
ing of sub-surface waters for irri-
cation purposes. According to his
theory at one time branches of the
Humboldt flowed down through
these, as well as other now dry val
leys, that open into the Humboldt
river valley, and therefore under
ground water ways still existin them
Wells to tap this underground flow
will have to be sunk to considerable
depth. The pumping that is now
being done in Grass valley is for
water that has more orless of loc-
al source, and offers better con-
ditions- for such pumping than does
Pleasant valley. However, there is
no doubt in his mind, but that un-
derground channels, draining from
the Humboldt river channel can be
developed at depth and when such
is done, these valleys will flourish.
The land there is exceedingly fertile.
1t is Mr.. Turner's theory that the
entire Humboldt river valley from
Winnemucca to Lovelock can be ir-
ligated by pumping, and he says
it offers much better conditions for
farming than many places he knows

THE ELKO FREE PRESS SUG.
GESTSY AMICABLE ADJUST
MENT WATER DISPUTES

The Elko Free Press pretends to
see big water suit pending between
water appropriations in the Lovelock
valley and those in Elko county
In a recent issue that paper says:
For several weeks past the Free
Press has been informed that there
is a movement on foot in Lovelock
to organize an association among
the water users in Lovelock valley,
and that a suit would probably
started to restrain the state eng
eer from granting any new Wa
appropriations in Elko county.
Believing that the ranchers OF
Elko county were entitled to know
the exact facts of the matter the
writer has devoted all his spare mo-
ments in obtaining information on
the subject.
Possibly 2p years ago the same
trouble arose over the use OF the
waters, and suits were sbegun, but
nothing was done. Again less than
ten years ago, during an extreme
ly dry season, the Loyelock rancn-
ers raised protest on the scarcity
of water. Then came several wet
seasons and the subject again was
forgotten. Now it bobs up again
and it would be well il this matter
was amicably brought up by all
parties concerned, taken to the
highest courts and final decision
rendered. p"

Three FOURTH'S inch
OF RAINFALL

Three quarters of an inch of rain
fell at Lovelock last week From
reports received from different sec
tions of the valley, however, the
rainfall was not general, but seemed
to be confined more to the limits of
the town. Although considerable
amount of rain fell at the Old Chal
mel dam, yet in the vicinity of the
Stoker and Pitt ranches in the up
per valley, there was no rain to
speak of. John FAINT reports a con-
siderable down pour at the River
side ranch, while Pete Anker only
few miles below says the fall
there was hardly drop in the
bucket" In town however it was
much different. Wednesday half
an inch of rain fell in few min
utes, ,and on other occasions during
the past few days, the down pour
has been most excessive, although
as rule lasting but for brief
period of time.
The cause of this more or less
local character .1 the storms is
probably due to the fact that tt =
close grouping of buildings, tr as
and telegraph and telephone wires
has attracted the storm. Hicks AL
Iaanac predicts a number of elCc-
trical storms for this time of the
year,

the week ending Wednesday as CON-
piled by cooperative observer, c. H.

5 TON auto TRUCK ARRIVES

Last Friday, the auto truck that
has been brought into Lovelock fol

its own power in five days. Stuart

the machine is ALERT T. Otto, the
father of Stuart Otto. 1t is equipp-
ed with a 3S horse power engine
and is claimed to be capable OF
eight miles al, hour with five ton
load.
The machine was brought to Winn,
mucca with the intention of having
it ply between there and the camp
of National, but this plan was aban
doned, and tie machine was brougn'
to Lovelock.
The big auto was the cause o.
much interest among the auto ell.
thusiasts of Lovelock, of which ther
are many. Opinion as to it's abil
ity to. be of practical use ON the
sandy roads of the Nevada desert is
divided and the opinion of som
that it would not not do satisfac'
tory work seems to be born out BY
the difficulties encountered by tn
big machine on the trip down from
Winnemucca.
On good hard roads, the mach
inc does fine work, but a soft road
bed Is too much for it.

OF where pumping water. for irriga-
ton is carried on with profit. The
Humboldt river basin embraces thou.
sands of square miles of territory
and all the drainage from the i'm
mense tract of land converges into
comparatively narrow tract of
land on the lower Humboldt. All
OF this strip of land, Is wonderfully.
fertile, and according to Mr.. Turn
er could be farmed profitably, with
out the use of the waters that run
in the river The water that runs
on the surface, is but drop in
bucket to the water that runs un-
der the surface in underground chan
nels. ~, 49,
AS an illustration. demonstrating
the correctness of his theory, Mr..
Turner called attention, to the under
ground channel developed on the s.
II. Young ranch above town. Here
Is a stream of water sufficient to
keep "A 6 inch pump running con-
tinuously. 1t is his belief, that
hundreds of such channels could be-
developed along the course Of the
Humboldt, and many of them, prac-
tically speaking would be as near
the surface and as available for irr-
igation use as the Young channel.
He says there are somewhat sim
liar conditions in some pumping Sec
tions in Mexico and California where
the farmers, who have surface water
available will discard 1t for the SUBJ
surface water, because, the latter is
free from the seeds of weeds and
other noxious plant life. ~ "
Mr.. Turner says that the time is
coming. when the drainage area of
The lower Humboldt embracing
millions of acres of land, will be one
continuous stretch of cultivated land
and will be one of the most produc-
tive farming regions of the world.
On his departure for the coast,

Francisco to confer with associates
