Colonist Rates Will
Begin on March

District Freight and Passenger Agent
J. M. Fulton, of the Southern Pacific,
announces that, contrary to the belief
which has found credence occasionally,
the colonist rates inaugurated by the
Southern Pacific Company seven years
ago from all points east to California
will go into effect on March and con-
tinue to April Is.
The one-way rate from Kansas City or
Omaha will be $25 to San Francisco.
From Chicago the one-way rate will
be S32. From other points in the east
proportional reductions will be made.
Fully half million colonists have
taken advantage of these rates since they
were inaugurated, and they have con-
tributed materially to the population and
development of the great west.
Mr.. Fulton announces that the rates
applicable to California will also apply
to Nevada points so that Nevada, no less
that California, will have an opportunity
to benefit from the bringing of thousands
to the west beginning March l.

LAND development
ON A LARGE SCALE
Big Tract Of Land in South
End Of Valley to be
Developed

The scheme to put under cultivation
between 40, 600 and $4,000 acres of new
land in the upper end of Mason Valley,
which has been under way for some
months past, is at last taking shape.
The people who are at the head of this
movement are p. ]. Conway, of Sweet
water, and Geo. P. Costigan, of Denver,
Colorado. The land lies from II to Is
miles south of Yerington and embraces
the big flat south of the Plum
mer ranch. There is SOME fine land i'll
the tract and it will be easy to irrigate
when the water is secured for that pur-
pose. The Carson News states that the
project of securing the water and the
land has reached the stage of paying the
government for the same, and that as
soon as State Engineer Kearney returns
from the East the permit to begin oper-
atoms will be granted.
This is reclamation proposition that
has been considered for some years past,
but which never took definite shape un-
til Mr.. Conway took hold of the matter.
1t is the intention of the company to
build large dam in the lower end of
the Bridgeport valley, through which
flows the east fork of the Walker River,
and impound the waters of that stream,
which now go to waste every season.
This dam will be of substantial material
and will form a reservoir that will hold
all the necessary water to irrigate the
land that will be put under cultivation
by the system The reservoir will cover
some good land in the Bridgeport sec
ton and the company already has OPP
tions on these ranches, while some have
already been purchased. Some years
ago the Loose brothers contemplated the
building of dam and the construction
of reservoir at, or about the same point
that the present company is operating,
but their proposition was to install big
power plant. 1t is possible that the
present operators will have power
plant of some magnitude, but the main
object will be to store the waste water of
the East Walker River for irrigation pur
poses. The land that is held by the
company will be cut up into small tracts
and sold to those looking for small
homes just as soon as the water system
is in shape to furnish water for the land.
The projectors stand to make nice for
tune in the enterprise, and this valley
will secure great number of new settlers.

Falls Down Shaft

Dan Dewitt, an old-time miner in
Silver City, fell down 35-foot shaft be-
tween Silver City and the Mound House
one night the first of the week. The
shaft was an old, abandoned one and
Mr.. Dewitt stumbled into it while on
his way home to his cabin. The acci-
dent was not discovered until the next
morning, when some of DeWitt's friends
became alarmed at his absence and
started search for him. His groans
attracted the searchers to the shaft,
where Dewitt was found lying on his
face in the bottom of the hole. He was
taken from the shaft and carried to his
home and medical aid summoned. 1t
was found that Dan had received a dis
located collar bone. couple of broken
ribs and some severe bruises, but that
his injuries were not of nature to cause
any permanent disability, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is quite we'll ad
vanced in years.

WILL REVIVE THE
ROCKLAND MINE
Eastern People Visit Property
With View of Taking
It Over

A party of Pittsburg, Pa, business
Tuesday and left almost Immediately for
the Pine Grove and Rockland section of
the district, about rs miles south of this
place, for the purpose of inspecting the
old Rockland mine. The party spent
day at the mine and returned to Yering-
ton Thursday. All expressed themselves
as we'll pleased with the trip and what
they saw of the property, and also be-
lieve that the big Yerington District has
great future from the many things
they were told about it and what little
they saw.
The party consisted of R. J. Palmer,
real estate dealer, DR.. G.. A. Dillinger,
a specialist, of Pittsburg; Major Angus
tus Vignos, a manufacturer, of Canton,
Ohio, and R. T. Stevenson, of Wash
ington, Pa They are all. stockholders

pany which has for its officers S. H.
Mckee, President; Maj. A. Vignos, Vice
President r. J. Palmer. Secretary; and
II. w. Mcintosh, Treasurer.
Just exactly what kind of deal is to
be made on the property or what the.
line of campaign will be we are not in
formed, as the gentlemen themselves are
undecided as to exactly what they will
do until they return to the east. In all
probability, however, it will not be long
before the old Rockland mine will be
the scene of renewed activity.
This property as nearly everone i'll
this district is aware, was formerly
owned by Ex-Governor Blasdel, and in
his time considerable bullion was ship
ped from there, the ore being reduced
in little 5-stalnp mill that was then on
the property. Some years ago the prop
erty was taken over by some Los Ange-
les people and a larger mill was con-
structed to handle the ore. For some
reason this process failed to extract the
values in the ore and operations on the
mnne ceased.
The mine has plenty of $40 to SIS ore
and it is famous for containing rich pock-
cts and stringers of very high grade ore.

Successfully Handling
All Smelter Fumes

According to the United States Geo
logical Survey, the Midvale smelter of
the United States Smelling, Refining
and Mining Company, is meeting with
success in it's plan to eliminate sulphur
dioxide from the fumes emitted by the
plant. Ir report OIL metallurglcal
treatments the Survey says:
''At the United States smelter at Mid
vale, Utah, the Sprague process OF neu-
tralizing the sulphur gasses with zinc
oxide and lime is used. In brick fur
mace connected with the pot roaster fiues
a fire of slack coal is maintained over
layer of limestone, to which small
proportion of zinc ore has been added.
The zinc is oxidized and the limestone
burned, and these escaping into the
flues change the sos to zinc sulphate
and calcium sulphate. The process is
completely successful. The conversion
of the sulphur gasses into sulphuric acid
is not practicable for most smelters, stu
ated, as they usually are, so far from
the markets for that commodity. More
over, the demand for sulphuric acid in
the United States would utilize only
small fraction of the quantity which
could be made by the process.

YERINCTON COPPER
DEVELOPING NICELY
Active Work Being Done and
Rich Ore Now Being
Encountered

The Yerington Copper Company is
now actively engaged with force of
eight or ten men in developing its ground
SO that it soon can be numbered among
the producers of this district. In tun-
mel being run from the other side of the
hill, i'll raise, some very fine ore has
been encountered-ore that will run
from Is to 40 per cent in the red metal.
The body is quite extensive and can
easily be extracted This work is ire
spective of the sinking and cross cutting
that is soon to be carried on at lower
depth in the mine. There is one thing
about this property that no other prop
erty in the district can so far boast of
and that is that the ore carries sufficient
values in gold and silver to fully pay for
the cost of mining, transportation and re-
duction, leaving the copper content net
asset of the property. This valuable
feature i'll the property as it is not SO
closely situated to the railroad as some
of the other properties in the district.
A. A. Marsal is the superintendent Of
the company and one of the large stock
holders in it and it is his firm belief that
he is going to make a big mine out of
the Yerington Copper. He has so much
faith in the property that he has stayed
with the camp for the past five years just
on account of his holdings in this prop
erty, and he has held onto just as much
as he possibly could. While the stock
of the company is low, lowering around
3 to cents, you see no sales of it, and if
there is any inquiry made for a bunch of
it, it cannot be found for sale. With the
Yerington Copper going on the east side
of the district to demonstrate that there
are as good properties there as there are
OIL the west side, you will undoubtedly
see other prospects on the east side
being developed before the summer is
over.

PUMP IRRIGATION
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Ranch Of $40 Acres Being Irri>
gated in this Manner in
Mason Valley

Henry Brisson, prominent young
rancher of the north end Of Mason VAL
ley, has the true system Of irrigation for
his property and is in position to be
independent of any ditch company,
water association or anything else. He
cares not whether snow falls in the
moutains to furnish water to the river,
nor whether there is water i'll the river
for irrigation purposes or not. He has a
pumping plant on his 800 acres that is
furnishing him all the water that he re-
quires, and is satisfied with spending
his money for this purpose rather than
giving it to lawyers for litigation over
water rights, which. when established,
will give them no more water when it is
not in the river.
At the present time Mr.. Brisson has
three deep wells flowing into sump
Sx16 feet i'll dimension and about 20 feet
deep. He has Is horse power gasoline
engine and an 8 inch centrifugal pump
and is getting water enough to irrigate
$40 acres of ground practically the
whole ranch-in from seven to ten days.
Even this improved method is too
slow for Brisson now that he has seen
what can be done with a pump and en-
gine and he is going to install 16-inch
pump in place of the S-inch one. With
the big pump he estimates that he can
irrigate his ranch in from three to four
days. To do this he will need more
water and to get this water he is laying
pipe lines from the sump out through
his ground. The surface water at his
ranch is about seven feet below the top
of the ground, and the pipes are being
laid four feet below the water level. or
eleven feet below the surface of the
ground. The pipes are 6-inch and s.
inch in diameter and have 2-inch per-
forations every IL inches apart, and a
pipe line 200 feet long furnishes good
strong flow into the sump. Brisson will
continue these pipe lines until he gets
all the water necessary. The system is
also improving his ground by draining
it. One hundred gallons of distillate
will run the engine and pump long
enough for three irrigations of the ranch
with the big 16-inch pump.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman

The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative
to famous millionaire offer of mil
lion dollars for new stomach.
This great multi millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of his
stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to
run from bad to worse until in the end
it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning to
others.
Every one who suffers with dypspep
sia for few years will give everything
he owns for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an
abnormal state of the gastric Juices. or
by lack of tone in the walls of the stom-
ach. The result is that the stomach
loses its power to digest food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to restore to
the gastric juices their digestive power,
and to aid in making the stomach strong
and we'll.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets are most dependable remedy for
dsordered stomachs, indigestion and
dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will re-
turn your money if you are not more
than satisfied with the result.

visitor in Yerington this week and has
concluded to locate in Mason Valley. To
this end he has purchased the Whiting
ranch, few miles south of this city.
This is the old Baker ranch and is one
of the good pieces of farm property in
the valley. The price paid, we under
stand, is $l7, 500. This indicates the in
creased valuation of ranch property in
this section, as the ranch sold few
