PUMPING SYSTEMS
FROM WELLS IS
NEXT DEVELOPMENT

In ~forecasting the rapid develop
meht of Elko county sources
Commissioner Vim. Willis points for
ward to the very early date when
intensive farming will be most
successfully operated in certain
localities of this county by water
supplied from wells. In several
parts of ElkO county ~artesian wells
have been found which flow sufi
GENTLY to supply a number of
acres if cultivated intensively and
in many sections wells are being
developed in which the water does
cot rise to the surface, however
near enough, and in such mex
haustable supply that pumping is a
paying system 70. irrigation of
alfalfa. potatoes and garden
products.
Mr.. Willis referred to the old oil
prospect just cut of town as an
illustration of a mammoth water
supply which was Encountered at a
depth less than 300 feet and this
we'll was put down on a hill side
several hundred feet higher than
the valley which would indicate
that abundant water may be de
veloped from wells which do not
flow above the surface as many do.
Commissioner Willis is not a
champion of any inflated explpita-
ton of Elko counties resources
great tho these are. he would not
recommend the attraction of home
seekers to Elko county who have
not the means with which to de-
velop and cultivate their new lands.

ARE YOU WILLING TO
LET GEORGE DO IT.?

The Elko County Development
League has zoo members of the
required $50 which must be signed
before this splendid. much needed
organization can proceed with the
very rcmunerative community
building it will accomplish.
ANY town or county without a
live organization for their civic
and commercial advancement and
promotion is a down and OUT
community compared to those who
have the spark of get together for
the common good.
II has beeh mentioned that it
may be the lack of understanding
by some IF the citizens uf ElEo
county who reside out of Elko and
vicinity. that this Elkn County
Development League is organized
for the entire county. which is
absolutely the case. The immense
good to be derived from such a
league could not possibly be accom-
plishCd by any m community; it is
the uniting of all the towns and
the corporation of the many rep
resentativ men who do not reside
in any town but live in the country
which will insure the unfailing
success Of this organization.
All the great good this Develop
ment League will do for all Elko
county cannot be enumerated, but
IT cannot fail, under the plan
arranged, TO serve every locality
and community in the county to
their greatest satisfaction There
are the best men from each town
and sectiUn of the county elected as
executive officers. IL these few "a
members come forward quickly
thus making up the full quote and
which will fairly launch the
organization, il will be a safe pre-
diction that the membership will
double within a very short time
after the League gets into action
and car demonstrate to some of
the weak kneed" brothers who
are hanging back and looking on.
Let's put Elko county in Glass
A where she so d~eservingly
belongs.
Send in your subscription. or
your acceptance to pay it upon
demand when the full $50 mem
bers are acknowledged.

ESCAPED CnA HAS VANISHED

CAPTAIN Donnelley Of the State
Police. who with others has been
active in recapturing escapes and
evil doors. states that there is no
trace of Riley Wooten who escaped
from the road camp some weeks
ago. As the matter has been
investigated il is clear to all who
have been interested that he was
either furnished with a horse or
an auto whisked him out of the
section. 1t is also believed that
he was furnished new clothing and
thus avoided the Geographic de-
scriptions as sent out. 1t is the
general belief that he returned to
the eastern states. as he had work
ed as a mechanic in a number of
places. He is an expert blacksmith
and was a handy man at the camp.

her friends are legion. She knows
how to work and is not ashamed to
soil her hands with honest toll.
That she will do her part toward
making a happy. prosperous home
is the belief Of all who know her.
The groom has been in Fiko a
year or more. He is a tailor by
trade and a good one. He ran the
tailoring branch of the Jacobs
company for some time and made a
success of it. He is an indus
trious young of man of good habits.
He, too. has many friends in Elko.
We suppose Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper
Will return to Elko and make this
their home. Here they will meet
a host of friends who will wish
them a long. happy and prosperous
voyage down the stream f life.

IN SILVER
BENEFITS TONOPAH

With every cent advanced for
the price of silver the monthly out
put OF the mines of Tonopah in
reases $4,000, according to a
rough estimate as compiled b,
officials of the Tonopah Mining
company. The figures are merely
approximate and are BASED on
amonthly output Of 1000, 900
ounces Of the white metal.
Tie silver quotations as received
from New York Saturday show the
price Of the metal at ga cents per
ounce, al increase Of one-quarter
over Fridays quotation. This is
the first time since October IL,
10 Y, that the price has mounted
to its present figure. On Noyem-
Der II, 1906, the price touched the
record mark of TIL and that quo
tation n never been reached
since. In fact, it was the highest
price paid for the metal in many
years.
AT the persent rate Of increase
it is predicted that the old record
will be sent glimmering. Many
claim the rise will not halt until
the S5 mark is reached. - Bonanza
