To help bring up the grain

We dropped down in the earth,
Entrusted to the elements
OF sunshine, rain, or breath.

It's mighty nasty nuisance
This everlasting rain.
We can't get out to pillow the field;
It's sloppy in the lane.
Nobody now can go to town,
The roads are full of mire;
It's worse than in the winter
time
With mud up to the tire.
The roof was leaking, too, last
night,
The front room is a perfect sight;
It's cold enough for fire.

To Change w. p Line Over Sierras

to leave the present line at kcddie,
California. running north and build
ing through Honey Lake and Indian
valleys, joining the old line again at
Trcgo, Nevada, a short distance this
side OF Gerlach This route would not
only be Is miles shorter than the old
line. but would eliminate the Keddie
Chileoot and Spring Garden tunnels
the three longest on the line. All
stations between Keddie and Trego
would be abandoned, and new ter
minal established, probably at ANA
dee. California 135 miles from Win
nemucca The new route was prob
ably conceived from the burning OF
the Chilcoot tunnel a few weeks ago
1t is stated that the stones on the
inside of the tunnel are still so hot
that work is Impossible. and that
to rebuild the bore would require the
best part of a years time

MORE GOOD ORE IN

Cross cutting is under way and at

80 feet with a full breast The drift
south has been in this ore for $50
feet. On the 9th level. above this ore
body has proven to be 90 feet in
width 1t will take some DAYS yet
to determine the magnitude on the 9Th
level, but the whole thing on the 9TH
averages p per cent copper.
In the 7l2 cross-cut to the east the
breast of the cross-cut is in epidotc
lime carrying 5 per cent copper
content
North of the big incline the new
stope is opening up fine, averaging as
broken down AZ to 6 per cent copper
All workings on the 9TH level are
in ore OF better grade than in the
levels above The 9th level never
looked better and is giving up its
usual tonnage evry day. The big
stope on the 4th level is producing
a good tonnage of good grade ore The
second level is showing fine. On
these levels big tonnage OF ore is
being broken down which is not
hoistcd but kept in reserve.
A new emergency hospital and
dwelling for the company doctor is
under construction and will soon be
ready for occupancy.

LAHONTAN DAM.
There is Not Very Much Water Yet
Gathering in the Big Reservoir.

The report for the month of June on
the Truckce- Carson project and at the
I.ahontan dam, as published in the
Fallon Eagle, shows that during the
fore part OF the month a scarcity of
water was experienced, owing prima
rily to small accumulations OF SNOW in
the mountains, but temporarily accen
tuated by cool weather which retarded
the melting of snow and caused but a
light flow in the streams. During this
period the rotation system OF delivery
was adhered to as cosely as possible
with beneficial results and much
economy of water After the first
week the rivers began to rise and the
water supply was plentiful throughout
the remainder OF the month. The
gates of Lake Tahoe remained closed
and the level rose slightly, so that an
appreciable amount of storage was Sc
cured. The prospect for the late sum
mer months, however, is that there
will be a rather serious water short

ucd at Lahontan with approximately
$50 men and "a annals The season,

MCCONNELL MINE
IS GOOD PRODUCER

AT the Mcconnell property, just
south of the Yerington Consolidated
line, the sinking OF a twocompart-
ment shaft is going on, and at this
writing the shaft has reached depth
of 30 feet The whole shaft is in ore
averaging 6 per cent copper a level
will be run at 100 feet. when this part
OF the property will be producing a
considerable tonnage AT the old
workings a steady production is being
maintained of about 90 tons per day
Eventually work will be started on
the 300foot level in the shaft, but
the management is in no hurry to
inaugurate this work. and it will be
some time before any new work on
the lower levels will be necessary. 4
contract for the hauling has beer
given to Frank Downey and will be
in effect the 5th OF this month. The
operators, O. H. Some and associ
ates. are to be congratulated on the
very handsome earnings the property

ment Considerable ore was produced
from this property in former years,
being hauled by wagon to the acid
chambers at Dayton. where blue
stone and sulphuric acid were manu-
factured for use in the quartz mills
on the Carson river 1t took a good
grade OF ore to pay expenses in those
days. Today there is a railroad with
in a mile and half OF the property
and a smelter only twenty miles dis

Inside of month this part of the
property is expected to furnish CON
siderable tonnage. Operations will
be carried on through the Mason Val
ley workings. That this part of the
holdings will prove most productive
is an assured fact On the south end
Of the property, in the old Natchek
claim. there is full breast of ore
a big production will also be made
from this section of the property,
thus making the whole mine pro-
ducer and emphazing the fact that
where legitimate and painstaking
work has ben done in the Yerington
district there has never yet been
