finish TWO MILES
CANAL ON PROJECT

E. B. Hill, managing director, and
w. H. Weldon have returned from the
Continental Lake project, situated
seven miles southwest of DEMO.
Mr.. Hill states that work on the
project is being pushed with vigor and
that the company will be in posi-
tion to supply customers with water
early next season. To date $4,000 in
perpetual water rights have been con-
tracted, with an additional $4,000 un-
der consideration. Two miles of the
canal have been finished but there is
an additional 35 miles of canal and
bitches contemplated. The greater
part of this work will be done with
machinery.
The company owns no land, and only
sells perpetual water rights. When
the project is completed, it will be in
a position to supply water to $4,000
acres of land.

VETERAN OF TWO
.WARSLOCATFSH HERE

Paul Joubert, relative of Gen. Piet
Joubert, of Boer war fame, came to
Wlnnemucca about a month ago, pur-
chasing from the u. S. A. Construction
company what is known as the
/" Hockenbrock ranch," in the lower
part of town, upon which he is now
residing.
Although still a young man, appar-
emily in the 30's, Mr. Joubert is a vet
eran of two wars He first engaged
in the Matabila war, in 1896, when
that race of natives took up arms
rican colonies. Shortly after this in
esurrection had been suppressed, he
was called to arms to defend his
country against the British lion. He
fought for about two years, with the
result that IS now history. His uncle,
Gen. Piet Joubert, under whose COM
mand he enlisted, was one of the dis
tinguished commanders on the Boer
side, who defed capture and the bull
let's of the enemy only to be killed by
being thrown from his horse.
Mr.. Joubert states that South Africa
much more prosperous at present
than before the war. but does not
redit this fact to British rule. For
many years prior to the beginning of
etual hostilities the people were liv-
ing in anticipation of war, devoting
much of their time in preparation for
that event instead of attending to
their business.
According to Mr.. Joubert, with the
exception of Orange Free State and
'ho1es'a, climatic and general condi-
tions in the South African colonies
are similar to those here in Nevada.
The soil is fertile but irrigation is
necessary to insure good crops. except
in the two c-lenies mentioned, where
the precipitation IS sufficient to meet
all requirements

FOUR TONS SILVER
ORE NET $1,000

Judge j. j. Anderson came in from
Sulphur yesterday on a flying business
trip. This morning he cashed a
check at the First National bank for
$1,000, being the returns on a four
ton shipment of silver ore to the
Murray smelter. The rock was taken
from the "Abe Lincoln mine near
Sulphur, owned by Joy, Anderson &
Newlands.
During the past two or three years
occasional shipments of silver ore
have been made from Sulphur. AS
fast as taken from the mines the rock
is sorted, and small quantities of the
highest grade shipped to obtain money
for operating expenses. The bulk of
the ore is placed on the dumps, and
when enough has accumulated to war
rant, a cyanide plant will be installed
to clean up all the ores of the dump.
Judge Anderson left for home to-
day, taking with him the supplies for
the registration, which will be under
his supervision. He states that prac-
tically all the men of the camp are
anticipating visit to Winnemucca on
the Fourth of July.

AVIATION MEET AT
RENO SATURDAY

Arrangements have been made for
an aviation exhibition at Reno on the
22d and 23d of the present month.
Frank Bryant and Roy Francis will
be the attractions.
These boys started from Alameda
recently, when Secretary of State
Knox was in San Francisco, crossed
the bay and alighted at the Presidio,
very near where Secretary Knox was
standing. They are first class in their
profession, and probably this will be
the best exhibition of the kind that
Nevada will have for a long time.
The flights will take place from
Moana grounds, to enter which the
moderate charge of 80 cents will be
made. Large crowds are expected to
be in attendance from all over the
state, and arrangements have been
made with the Southern Pacific for re-
duced rates. Parties of fifteen trav-
cling on the same train going can get
a fare ond one-third rates from all
points in Nevada to Reno for the oe-
casiOn.

MOVEMENT FOR
EARLY CLOSING

Some few weeks ago the clerks of
the town formed an organization for
the purpose of attempting to in
duce their employers to close their
respective places of business at 6
O'Clock. Some months ago an agree
ment was entered into between most
of the business houses of the town to
close at D. M, and this has been
generally observed. 1t is claimed by
the clerks, however, that nothing was
accomplished during the last hour
the stores remained open, owing to
the fact that the employees, as rule,
went to their suppers at 6, returning
but a few minutes before Z, and that
there were few, if any, customers on
hand during the hour mentioned to be
waited on.
The clerks organization appointed
a committee to call upon the different
proprietors, but slow progress is re-
ported. f. Reinhart & Co. and one or
two other establishments expressed a
willingness to close at oelock, pro
vided all would do so, and an effort is
being made by the clerks to have the
remaining business houses sign up in
order that the new rule may 90 into
effect tomorrow evening.
The clerks have started their early
closing crusade in very gentlemanly
manner, talking the matter over with
the merchants in a friendly way.
They have had printed large mum
ber of cards, bearing the admonition
Shop Before Six" which are being
circulated freely about town, in an
endeavor to gain popular sympathy
for the movement. As majority of
the clerks are married men with
families, it is hoped to make the
movement social question, interest
ing all the ladies of the town in it's
success.
Asked this morning as to his firm s
position in the premises, Ed Reinhart
replied: "E. Reinhart & Co. have al
ways favored any movement that ten
ded to better the condition of its en-
ployes, and we are heartily in sym
pathy with the clerks in this instance.
However, we are compelled to meet
competition in every form and can
not see our way clear to close our
store at six unless our competitors do
the same. Some months ago we agreed
to close at O'Clock in the evening,
and remain closed all day Sunday. We
understand that a number of the stores
of the town are making practice of
opening for few hours on Sunday
forenoons, and unless the practice is
discontinued, we shall be compelled to
do the same, in self-protection.

SUMNER SCHOOL
AT RENO This YEAR

There will be summer school
opened at Reno on the Gath instant,
continuing until August 3, for the
benefit of Nevada teachers, under su-
pervision of Prof. Ordahl, of the State
University.
For many years Nevada teachers
who wished to attend a summer school
have been compelled to go to other
states, generally to California, but
this year, for the first time, they may
be accommodated at home.
1t is expected that a large number
of Humboldt county teachers will be
in attendance, and the school will be-
gin with an indicated membership of
rs. Prof. Abel, deputy state super
intendent of this district, will be in
attendance in the dual capacity of in
structor and student. At the close
of the school an examination will be
held for the benefit of teachers wish
ing to apply for certificates.

SENATE COMMITTEE REPORT
ON TITANIC DISASTER

The report of the senate committee
on the Titanic disaster is satisfying
to our own people. 1t should cause
those British journals which have
sought to pour ridicule upon the inves-
tigation, and especially upon Chair
man Senator Smith, to realize how
childish they have acted. The report
does not hesitate to place prime re-
sponsibility where it belongs-upon
the unfortunate Captain Smith-'but
does it in no resentful or carping man
ner. The tenor of the report is to so
present facts, based on undisputable
testimony, that hereafter the passen-
ger on Atlantic liners shall be safe
guarded to the fullest extent possible.
The British investigation, which is
still in progress, started out with the
evident intention to minimize respon-
sibility and to whitewash the manage
ment, officers and crew. The results
of the investigation on this side had,
however, been published in England,
and public opinion so strongly insist
ed on having the truth that after a
few days of nibbling at the edges, the
court ventured on fairly thorough
work. 1t is evident, however, that in
he absence of public information,
made possible only by our senate in
vestigation, the full measure of in
ompetenee, unpreparedness, and ut
Ter disregard of the rudimental laws of
eafety would never have been re-
vealed
The insults heaped upon Senator
Smith by the British press serve but
to emphasize the service he has done
humanity in exposing conditions little
dreamed of, and which, now known
will result in great rcforms.-H. III
Windsor, in the July Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

SMELTER FUMES ARE
A SOURCE OF PROFIT

The revival of agriculture in the
south owes to the natural deposits of
phosphate which are found in Flor
ida, South Carolina and T nnessee.
Experiments have shown that raw
rock phosphate will stimulate plant
growth, but the process is slow and
the fertilizing element may be made
available more quickly by treating
the rock with sulphuric acid.
On this account the successful manu-
facture of fertilizer from rock phos-
phate depends in great measure on a
cheap source of sulphuric acid. A
plentiful and cheap supply OF sui
phuric acid means a cheaper and q
more readily available supply of fer
tilizers. The greatest demand for sui
phuric acid is in the fertilizer indus
try, the greatest supply OF raw ma
terials for this industry is found in
the southern states, and the greatest
demand for fertilizer also exists in
this same section. Few industries,
therefore, are of more Importance to
the south than the manufacture OF
sulphuric acid.
The sulphuric acid plants at Duck
town Tenn, were installed with the
purpose of disposing of the objection
able fumes from the large smelters of
the copper companies at that place.
According to F.. b. Laney, of the
United States geological survey, who
describes these plants in an advance
chapter from Mineral Recources of
the United States for 1911," they
have been very successful. They use
what was, until their establishment,
net only wholly waste product of
the smelters, but also a menace to all
the adjacent country. These acid
plants have therefore produced at
least three dsirable results by furnish
ing large supply of acid where it is
most needed by rendering valuable
large supplies of sulphur hitherto
worthless and by relieving the region
of the nuisance of the smelter fumes,
thus making it possible to continue
operating the mines and at the same
time to cultivate the surrounding
lands
A copy of the paper by Mr.. Laney
can be obtained by applying to the
Director of the Geological Survey at
Washington.

WILLIAMS CASE IN
SUPREME COURT

The application of Franklin Williams
for a certificate of probable cause
that there is merit in his appeal will
be argued in the Supreme Court a
week from today Salter & Robins
will appear for Williams and the dis
trict attorney for the State In case
the certificate is granted it will act as
stay of execution and defendant will
remain in the county jail until his ap-
peal is settled, unless in the meantime
he is admitted to bail.
1t will be remembered that Williams
was convicted, on his second trial,
early in the spring, of permitting gam
bling in his place of business and SEN
fenced by Judge Ducker to an inde-
terminate term in the penitentiarv of
from one to five years. His attorneys
then moved for new trial and stay
of execution, which were in turn de-
MED, and defendant was remanded to
the custody of the sheriff for execu-
tion of Judgment. The sheriff start
ed for Carson City on No. with his
prisoner, but
Judge Robins left for the state
capital the previous evening and upon
the opening of the Supreme Court the
next morning renewed his motion for
stay of execution before Chief JUS
tice Sweeney and this time he was
successful. The motion was granted
and the stay telegraphed to Clerk
Davey, who intercepted the sheriff at
Reno with a wire and Williams was
returned to the county Jail on the next
train.
The stay granted by Chief Justice
Sweeney was for only ten days, and
two days before it's expiration Judge
Robins again applied to Judge Ducker
for further reasonable time in which
to perfect his appeal This applica-
tion met the same fate as the first,
being denied. Counsel for the second
time applied to Chief Justice Sweeney,
securing such reasonable time as
might be necessary to perfect his ap-
peal.
case will be reversed, as the evidence
upon which Williams was convicted
was very weak. The States witnesses
testified that on the night in ques-
tion he had left two or three men in
his card room playing pitch, while he
went out into the street with positive
instructions for them not to play
poker. Notwithstanding these orders
after Williams had left the game was
changed into stud poker, and one wit
ness testified that Williams came
back into the room, looked around for
an instant and walked out, without
saying word.
The jury that convicted Williams
remained out all night, and about
town it was thought that there would
be second disagreement. 1t is claim
ed, however, that one of the Lovelock
jurymen was particularly vociferous in
his demands for a conviction, having,
it is stated on good authority, lost a
large sum of money few nights pre-
viously while gambling in Lovelock at
a game called "Big INDIAN and be-
ing down on anything that savored of
gambling.

EVIDENTLY GOT
THE WRONG man

After being out but short time
the jury in the case of E. G.. Miller,
charged with obstructing a public
highway, Saturday evening returned
a verdict of not guilty. Salter & Rob
ins appeared for Miller, while the dis
trict attorney conducted the prose
cution.
The evidence tended to show that
from the time the country was settled
until recent years the only road in
the vicinity of Miller's ranch was
known as the old "emigrant trail, -
which is claimed to have been legal
lied in 1867. About ten years ago an
other road was formed by travel some
400 or 500 feet south of the "emi-
grant trail,' teamsters taking their
choice of routes. Last spring Miller
built fence across the new road, but
cleared a road leading from the inter
section of his fence with the new
road to the "emigrant trail. All
would have probably been well had not
f. F. Trousdale, who owns the land to
the north of Miller's, built a fence
enclosing his property and across the
emigrant trail,' as well.
Today interested parties intimate
that proceedings would be instituted
against Trousdale, but up to the hour
the Silver State went to press no war
rant had been issued for his arrest.
