The Carson river, as it winds
its way through Dayton is hardly
larger than a good sized trout
stream containing less water
than at anytime in the past 2o
years. The ranchers are appor-
tioning off the water by drops,
and thus far have been able to
piece along.
But the situation is rapidly
reaching a condition where the
ranchers are taking alarm and
with reason. While some water
is available for use of stock,
there is great lack for the irrl-
cation necessary both above and
below Dayton. The ranchers are
bestirring themselves and every
one in that section is signing a
petition to United States Senator
Newlands seeking relief through
the building of dams. which will
conserve the water. This work
would be dOne DN the ioNefH-

country in this section.

Home Man Working
for a Future

Walter Chedic, who owns sew
eral graphite deposits west of this
city, is carrying on developments
during the summer which prom
ises some good returns.
In the course of the work the
past few years it has been de
termined that he owns one of the
largest and purest graphite de
posits in the entire coast. Ma,y
tons have been taken from the
deposits and considerahle
quantity shipped to outside
points. A small factory is kept
busy in this city making graphite
paint, which home product has
proven it's worth on many occas
ions.
/. At the present time Mr.. Chedic
is endeavoring to gain greater
depth on this deposit. The sur
face has been pretty badly frac
tured but as depth has been at
tanned the deposits become more
uniform and some very high
grade praphite has been taken
out. He hopes to sink working
shaft on the material at his deep
est point and thus determine the
extent and the grade Of the ma
terial.
This is one of the properties
that in the future will be recog
nized and the mineral turned to
use in the many uses of manufac-
turing.
