AGRICULTURAL IN SOUTHERN
NEVADA EXPANDING FAST

NIIhUh Lar HluUINU Tho
1t is not generally known how
much prorgess is being made in
agriculture and how much is
planned for its future in Southern
Nevada particularly N the south
ern portion of Nye county. Mining
interests first attracted people
miners and would-he r1iners, so it
has been considered exclusively q
mining region without water. But
investigation, experime nts and de-
velopments are proving that water
can be had and much profitably
accomplished by farming in this
section.
Along the sunken srream known
az the Amargosa river, beginning
at Springdale 60 miles from Gold
fed, and extending fifteen miles
southwark. are a dozen ranches,
which are becoming important
producers. All started in "a very
small way, within the last two to
four years. and all are steadily
expanding.
The main product is alfalfa, with
melons, vegetables, poultry and
eggs. Cattle and horses, zoo,
thrive on the native grass of the
river land and in the alfalfa fields.
In a low lying ravine reaching
southeast from the river. L. P.
Kimball, in less than three years,
has developed quite a producing
ranch. He is raising cattle horses,
nogs, and claims that he is oastur-
ing 1000 head Of sheep. This
year the acreage in alfalfa will be
greatly increased and more care
fully cultivated. Reaping three
or four crops annually at existing
prices is very profitable. One
man during the boom. at a cost of
$500 sold food, eggs and chickens
to the value of Sd, 900 in one year.
Below this string of ranches, at
Gold Center, where the hills are
nearer together and the subter-
ronean water concentrated, there
are several claimants .;or the right
to the water now contending.
One party seeks to perfect a cor
po-ation covering Iome 10000
acres of the Ama:gosa desert
under the Carey act, and fit it all
for settlement.
Fifty miles further south -12O

Meadows Water company is
branching into agriculture. Ills
corporation is composed of
Scranton, Pa, capitalists. 1t was
formed for the sole purpose of
supplying water to the surround
ing mining camps. 1t owns large
supply of water and 200 acres of
land. nearly all Of which is pro
ductiVe soil and subject to irriga-
ton.
This company is supplying the
Tonopah e. Tidewater railroad
company and the Liza C. borax
mines with water, and still has q
large surplus. Fm The past two

ing with various crops.
This year the company 10 ex-
banding in a manner G1at promises
permanence. The land is divided
into fields which are fenced so
as to exclude rabbits and coyotes.
The main products will be alfalfa
and cattle. Eucalyptu, trees will
be grown to a considerable extent

MADE WOMEN TURN AND LOOK
Sailor With His Little Son Attracted
Sympathetic Attention From
Crowds Of Shoppers.

In a crowd of Christmas shoppers
in Sixth avenue there appeared pic
ture that made at least twoscore OF
parcel-ladcn women turn and look,
says the New York Press. 1t was a
sailor clad in the picturesque blue
Of the American navy, with wide col.
lar turned back from a sun-bronzcd
throat, round cap bearing the gilt let.
tors of his ship set rather rakishly on
his head. and the wide Tapping ends
of his sen going trousers just escaping
usual about all this. The thing that
made the feminine heads turn to look
was the fact that in his arms he
luEgcd 4 wee duplicate OF himself. His
baby son was round and rudy Of
check. His little sailor collar was
turned back from fat and dimply
throat Even the string with the mid.
shipman's whistle on the end was
tucked under his collar, and his tiny
trousers were cut exactly like his
sailor daddy's. His cap bore the same
ships name. The windows rugged for
Christmas seemed to fascinatc tho
sailorman as much as the sailor baby.
They didn't mind the rain. and they
were utterly unconscious that folk
were turning round to look at them in
warm-hearted wonder. Daddy and
son were not buying anything-only
looking; having bit Of Christmas
outing together, fraternally, SO 10
speak.
Two women bumped into each other
as they twisted their necks to watch
the sailor baby pointing at a Teddy
bear There eyes met and each
smiled at the other in way that
plainly said: Dear little chap-poOr
little chap-wonder where's his moth.

In the twelfth century not less than
fifteen epldemics of disease and many
famines carried of the people Of Eng

twenty plaques and nineteen famines.
while the fourteenth had a black rec

plague or black DEATH" which was

caused the death Of 100000 persons in
London alone, while in Europe alto

its ravages.

peared in England. causing great de
structlon of human life. 1t reappear-

thereafter The last terrible visitation
of the plague in England was in

There is in London a man who sure

tics Of laziness and invention to re
markable degree. 1t is bis custom to
have his breakfast in bed. and. bur
dened with the trouble of getting out
of bed for the purpose Of unlocking his
bedroom door. he has invented a door
which opens to his whistle. He has ac-
complished this somewhat remarkable
feat by means of a simple electromag-
net which draws the bolt when a cur
rent passes through 1t. platinum point
and a piano wire attuned to a certain
note. When this note or one of its oc-
taves is sounded the wire vibrates in
response, and this vibration brings 1t

A PUZZLE IN METALS.
Brass Has an odor Yst Copper and
Zinc Separately Have Not.

Brass Has an odor Y,t Copper and
Zinc Separately Have Not.
Brass. as every ole knows, has an
awful odor. yet the two things Of
which brass consists. zinc and copper.
give no odor whatever in their sepa-
rate staies This Is a problem that has
given great deal Of work to scien-
lists II II one as yet not entirely
solved.
To arrive at the general law It has
been found that almost all alloys. or
mixtures OF two metals, viii give an
odor. while the metals themselves do
not. Brass is not the single example.
though probably the most odoriferous.
The explanation is as follows: All
substances. including metals. are al
ways giving or small particles Of their
substance to the air-that IS. evaporat-
ing Some solids give these on SO rap
idly as soon to disappear. Gum cam
phor IS conspicuous example, To
smell any substance a particle Of that
substance has to tickle nerve ending
in the nose. If a small particle Of cop
per. we shall say. does this by itself
no effect IS noticed but II particle
Of zinc and particle Of copper strike
at the same time the effect is such as
to cause a perceptible impulse to the
nerve. The chance for these two to
strike at the same time is given only
when they are intimately mixed IN an
alloy.-New York Tribune
