STEAM HEAT FOR
SCHOOL BUILDING

A suggestion to the school board and
citizens of Winnemucca:
| was looking over the situation at
the high school building the other day
and | noticed that the stoves and fuel
boxes take up about one-quarter of the
seating capacity of each room. Now
if steam heat was substituted for the
stoves this space could be utilized, for
the radiators could be put under the
windows where they would be entire
ly out of the way, then, perhaps, the
present building would accommodate
all hands for another year or two. An
excavation could be made in the angle
at the back of the building for the
boiler as its permanent location and
housed in temporarily with corrugated
iron at small expense. The boiler and
mains could be installed the proper
size to carry the contemplated addi
tion to the building This could easily
be done before school opens again
next September. / would advise using
the standard 3S-inch radiator, the
same as that in the opera house 1t
would stand up six or eight inches
above the window sills. but that would
be "A benefit instead of detriment, for
instead of a etaoi taoi taoi aointaona
when the windows are raised slightly
for ventilation the air will have to
pass through or over the radiator, thus
tempering it to the condition of the
room. w. W. RICHARDSON.

DRILLING WELLS
IN WINN[MUCCA

Muma & Hyatt s well boring ma
chine has been moved to town from
Johnson s ranch for the purpose of
drilling several wells here. This morn
ing work was commenced on the resi-
dence property of j. IL. Hoyt, and af-
ter this well has been completed one
will be drilled for Constable Moore.
At Johnson IS ranch the well was
sunk to a depth of 410 feet, the water
coming to within % feet of the sur
face. 1t is considered that there Is
sufficient for all needed purposes, in
cluding irrigation, and the water will
be pumped by means of gosoline en-
gine.
As soon as Messrs. Muma & Hyatt
have completed their contracts in Win
nemucea, the machine will be moved
to Rebel creek, where number of
wells will be sunk for the Ellison
Ranehing company and others.

MOUNTAIN WATER ON
SOUTHERN PACIFIC DINERS

The Blue canyon water, upon which
the crews of the Southern Pacific com
pany overland route have thrived and
grown fat, has been placed in the din
ing cars over the entire Southern Pa
cific system. IT has been common
gossip among the Southern Pacific
trainmen for years that the Sacramen.
to division men owe their portly ap
pearances to the drinking of the water
from Blue canyon.
For all trains on the Sacramento
division running eastward and west
ward. the supply of water will be tax
en- on the diners as the trains stop at
that station. On the other divisions
of the system the water will be trans
ported in special containers. In this
way the diners on all of the Southern
Pacific dining ears are to enjoy the
best drinking water to be found in the
west. The Southern Pacific company
has had chemists at work for years en-
deavoring to find the purest water
In hundreds of places along the line
has water been found that could not
be excelled for drinking purposes, wa
ter free to large extent from aka
lis, but it has been difficult to find wa
iy, free from inerustations. Blue can
yon water comes from small lake
and spring at the summit of the Sierra
Nevada mountains. 1t is nearly chemi
cally pure but the supply is not suffi
cient for locomotive use. The Blue
canyon water contains only forty-seven
hundredths of a grain of alkali, one
and seventy-fve hundredths of grain
of incrusting solids, or total of two
and twenty-five hundredths grains oi
solids to the gallon. The incrusting
solids are harmful to the engine boil
ers if there is any great percentage OF
them in the water used in locomotives
Tut the water used by the Southern
Pacific engines is carefully tested at
different times during the year and il
found to contain any inerustations,
chemical compounds are added to
nullify the effects.

CoNvICIS START WORK ON
WAGON ROADS OF STATE

A gang of 35 convicts from the
state prison started the actual con
strnetion of the new road between
Carson and Reno yesterday and last
d { the first camp was established at
Lakeview, three miles this side OF
Cars N. The first days work consisted
p,in ipaly of grubbing sagebrush in
establishing the camp and the welfare
of the road received very little atten
ton. Today the work will start in
earnest.
~. NJ. Kearney, state engineer in
charge of the road work, came down
IRON Carson last evening. He stated
fnat all the necessary machinery had
4 cen borrowed from the commission
ers of Ormsby county to be paid for
by work on the roads of that county.
'"hc machinery includes rock breaker
and roller.
warden Ray Baker of the state
prison stated yesterday that the pris-
oners at work on the roads would be
guarded by three overseers during the
daytime, while at night one oversees
would act as patrol to guard the
camp. The guards will not be armed
for. according to Warden Baker, if an
outbreak occurred it would be an easy
matter for the convicts to overpower
the overseers and relieve them of any
weapons they might happen to have.
Every prisoner is out on the honor sys
tenn as adopted by the state OF Colo
RADIO. In Colorado over 800 prisoners
are being used in road constructino
work and the numper of escapes is
very low.--Journal.

ROOSEVELT TUN-
mel DISAPPOINTING

Some disappointment is noted with
respect to the results which have thus
far been achieved in the drainage of
the Cripple Creek mines by the Roose-
welt drainage tunnel. The deep bore
will undoubtedly pay for itself, but
the unwatering Of the area has been
making slower progress than was hop
ed for, owing to the greater compact
ness of the formation at the lower
levels now being drained. Aside from
the workings of the Ell Paso mine and
the influence which they have upon
the territory Immediately surrounding,
no exceptional water channel has been
cut. Hitherto the flow from the tunnel
has been largely supplied by the Ell
Paso ground, which has immediate
drill-hole connection with the bore.
Taking the camp throughout, the reces-
sion of the water level has progressed
only about 80 feet during the first six
months since the tunnel pierced the
breccia. 1t has been the expectation
that 100-foot zone would be relieved
of its burden of water in time to pre-
pare the way for sinking in number
of shafts to undertake anything less
than 100-foot lift.
Since the flow from the Ell Paso
workings has been abating, the total
output is less than 5000 gallons per
mine, or sufficient, perhaps, to insure
unwatering of 100-foot zne by the
first of next year. Accordingly, the
operators are raising funds to carry
the breast of the tunnel ahead for an
other 1,200 feet, in the hope of se-
curing more rapid results. Judging
by the present seepage, which will
naturally decrease in rate as the water
level goes down, the Roosevelt tunnel
will require as much as 10 years to full
fill its destiny, unless the bore is con-
tinued under the district and more
thorough prospecting for water is car
ried on. The officers Of the tunnel as
sociation realize the Importance OF
more work at this time, and it may be
accepted as certain the bore will be
going ahead at an early date. The cost
of the Roosevelt tunnel thus far has
been about $540 000,a the miners feel
the need of early return from this large
investment, even though a little more.
must be spent upon it.
In this connection it is to be noted
that the drainage district act, pass
eu by the Colorado Legislature at the
solicitation of the mining interests,
particularly taose of Cripple Creek,
has been permitted to become a law
by the governor, though without his
signature. Until the Roosevelt tunnel
has proved it's efficiency there 10 NO
immediate likelihood of any mine
drainage district being established in
the state, inasmueh as Cripple Creek
is the only section which has held such
step in contemplation Mining

HOME OF GOV. SPARKS
PASSES TO NEW HANDS

The handsome home of the late
Governor Sparks has passed into new
hands. w. H. Moffat, the cattle man.
has purchased the place for his future
home.
At the time of the death of Govern
or Sparks it was believed that he left
a fortune. On the contrary, he left
lot of debts, the home was mortgaged
and eventually passed from the hands
OF his widow to that of Mrs. Thoma.
Several attempts were made to pur-
chase the property and make club
house OF the same. 1t is said that con-
sideration was $4,000.
During the life of Governor Sparks
his home was an open house. His
generosity knew no bounds and every
friend was welcome. 1t was modelled
and maintained on the plans of the
southern plantation. There were few
IN the political or social world who did
net at some time share the generosity
of the governor and partake of his
board and bowl.
At one time the master of Alamo
owned the finest herd of Hereford cat
tie in the world He went the limit in
keeping the strain at the top notch and
those who were interested in fine
breeding visited him and consulted.
His fine cattle, like the rest of his
belongings, have scattered. Everyone
will remember the elk paddock that he
maintained, while a number of buffalo
were to be seen grazing on his pastures.
No one ever knew John Sparks but
regrets to learn of the passing of his
possessions to others than his family.
His hospitality left an indelible mark
upon the recent visit of ex-President
Roosevelt to this state, the first par
y he asked to meet was the widow of
Governor Sparks His wish was
granted
