After an illness OF three weeks
Grandma" Morris, as she was iamili
arly called. quietly fell asleep Thurs
day morning oil this week at the home
OF her daughter, Mrs J. c. Snyder,
surrounded by her children and grand
children.
Miss Elizabeth Butler was born
over y years ago at Memphis MO
She became Mrs. Morris i'll 1903, when
She married K. w. Morris. who passed
away some three years ago Mrs
Morris was the mother OF ten child
ren. four OF whom are now living;

Mrs. Morris came to Mason Valley
in 1874 and resided on the farm here
until the death of Mr.. Morris since
when she has made her home with
Mrs. T. c. Snyder. who did everything

and pleasant.
Mrs. Morris was unusually bright
Tor woman of her years and she had

MANY times what the entire
tract is worth at the present
time.
1t is Mr.. Alexander opinion
after the investigation OF the soil
from Wabuska. the lower end OF
the valleys. to the extreme upper
end. that not only could reservoirs
be installed at reasonable cost.
but pumping plants could be sue
cessfully operated on large por-
tion of the land and that in many
places an abundance of artesian
water could be found and secured
at moderate costs. In his OPINION,
the greatest obstacle to the speedy
development of the vally, is the
lack of enterprise among the citl-
zenS of this section. He tells us
that he knows a farmer in the
valley who has not plowed or
worked his land for thirty years,
but has simply cut his two crops

eggs from the poultry. and the
honey from the bees. and who
would not thank anyone. even an
expert from the Government Ag-
riculiural College, to give him les
sons in the new modes of farming.
While Mr.. Alexander is not au
thorized to say whether or not

the farming lands of this section,
he sees no reason why they should

Edmund Alexander. who came.
| here from Los Angeles about
month ago. left last week for
Reno, where he expects to locate
permanently as the State Mana
ger of the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Co.. of California. the
largest, oldest and richest life in
surance company west of the Mis-
sissippi River. This company
brings millions OF dollars every.
year from the east and invests
il in the west. thereby materially
aiding in building up and devel-
oping our western country.
During his stay here Mr.. Alex
ander visited many portions OF
the valleys, and did a large in
surance business for his company.
He is familiar with the agricul-
tural sections in Southern Cali
iornia. and the Salt River Valley
in Arizona, but is of the opinion
that there is no section of the
southwest that offers greater OPP
portunity for investment and the
cultivation of grain. potatoes, al
falfa. the raising OF hogs and cat
tie. and the pursuit of the dairy
industry. than Mason and Smith
Valleys. He bases his opinion
upon the richness OF the soil and
the abundance OF water in the
east and west branches of the
Walker River. which rise in the
perpetually Snow-covered mount
aims on the border line OF Nevada
and California. He suggests.
however. that the sooner the resi-
dents OF this section adopt some
plan To conserve these waters.
which now are allowed to run to
waste in Walker Lake, and use the
same for irrigating purposes. the
sooner this section will contain d
population numbered by thous-
ands instead OF by hundreds. He
further suggests that the large
landowners divide their holdings
into small tracts and sell every
other tract at reduced price to
firSt-class farmers: and he pre-
diets that in very short time the
remaining hall would be worth

not do so upon an investigation
OF the land, and sufficient induce
ments offered
Another reason given by Mr.
Alexander for his faith in our sec
ton, is the TACT that the Nevada
Copper Belt Railroad borders
both valleys, thereby rendering
travel and transportation easy,
and connecting Ludwig, Hudson,
Yerington. Mason and Thompson
with Wabuska on the Southern
Pacific railroad. for a distance OF
about 40 miles. The original pur-
pose of this road was to bring the
ores from the numerous mines in
the mountains encircling Mason
and Smith Valleys. to the smelter
at Thompson. Mr. Alexander is
of the opinion that the mining sec
ton and the agricultural section.
being so closely connected, will
make this prosperous and thrlv-
ing community in few years. He
desires to congratulate the man
agement OF the Nevada Douglas
upon the fact that they do nor
allow a bar-room and a red light
district on their premises, and
trusts that the two and one-half
million dollars the company has
invested rpaX multiply many fold.
thereby pTing to the mining
world thaFHeither of the two ''ad-
iuncts" above mentioned are nee
essary for the successful manage
ment of the mining business.
We are told by Mr. Alexander
that he is informed that it is the
purpose OF the railroad company
| in the near future, to run branch
line from the main line through
Yerington to the range of mount
aims on the east side of the valley
and up the eastern branch OF th'
Walker River for the purpose o
securing the silver. copper an'
gold ores in that section of th'
big Yerington district. Should
this be done. Mr.. Alexander be
lieves that these valleys will b.

also sign a petition for the independ-

For a time it was believed that the

there will be no difficulty in securing

MASON PASS NOW
PRODUCING ORE

Mason Pass, the section OF this dis
,r;ct which has been less talked of
than any other, is coming to the front
with leaps and bounds these days.
The reason for this is that fhe pros
meets out that way have lately shown
that they have shipping ore, and con
siderable OF it. that can be sent to the
Thompson smelter and turned into
ready money at short notice
This week Al Matt leased one-half OF

oi eighteen months and is made on
royalty basis. There is good show
ing on the property and Mr.. Matt re
Gently received returns from a car
load OF ore-20 tons-that showed the
ore to run close to 10 per cent in the
red metal
The leasers expect to put several
men to work on the property imme
diately and will make regular small
shipments of ore from the start. No
depth. to speak OF. has been attained.
Mcssrs. Shaffer and Spencer intend to
install hoist as soon as possible and
thoroughly open up the portion OF the
property in their lease.
Mr.. Matt is also going to continue
work on the one half of the property
he retains and will ship more ore as
soon as it can be extracted.
There is a neat little profit in I'D per
cent ore these days. Ten per cent
ore means POO pounds OF copper per
ton. With the price paid by the smell
ter being IA cents. a 50-ton carload
would be valued at about 81 400 or
close to $50 per ton. The wagon haul
is only three miles and costs 81 per
ION: the railroad haul 65 cents per ton
and the smelling charge at the most
50. This ought to leave the shippef
little better than $50 per ton clear
better than some gold mines are doing

Cripple Greek, Colo, July IL
The proposed amendment to the con-
stitution to permit local unions to
make contracts with employers pre-
cipitated a lively debate when the
Western Federation of Miners met
today. President C. II. Meyer in his
annual address approved the plan
and showed wherein the feredatiOn
miners would profit by it. The plan
proposed authorized the local unions
to enter into contracts to develop t;Ie
property and designate the men TO
undertake the work, these men TO
share in any profits or bonus for per-
forming the work in less than con-
tract time.
The supporters of the change con-
tend that would throw the profits OF
development work to the rank and
file of miners rather than to indie
pendent contractors, t----
AS the days session progress the
indications are that a decision will
not be reached till late in the after
noon.
A resolution was adopted to pre-
vent the federation of miners from

Opposition to the sale of Hannah
creek water by the city to the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad on the grounds
that it was sold by the property own
ers of that section for domestic pur-
poses only, has developed among
some of the ranchmen of that section
and some have even gone so far as
to consult attorneys as to what can
be done in the matter. Grand June
tion, after due condemnation pro-
cess, last year paid the ranChmen of
that section $4,000 for 500 inches
of water for domestic purposes.
While 1t is said that the Hannah
creek men now have enough water
for ranChing purposes, some claim
that as the season advances the wa
ter will not be sufficient They have
sold 800 inches to Grand Junction.
and local attorneys claim that they
lave nothing TO say as to the dis
posal of il. Whether domestic can
include the sale to a railroad has not
been passed on by attorneys, but it
is believed that the water can be
sold to the Rio Grande.
