trees and shrubbery are crowded

Such planting, in fact, when skillfully
done, makes small yard seem larger

WHO'S A REAL FARMER?

The real farmer is thus de
scribed by L. A Gievens of Ne

man who simply raises corn and
, wheat and hay to haul to market
is not a farmer But rather the
) man who raises Il sufficient diver
sity of crops best suited to his 10
cality to furnish a rotation and
maintain the productivity of the
soil and who does not sell these
as raw material. but feeds them
on the farm to different kinds of
good stock that he has raised

RICH SAMPLES OF ROCK
FROM RYE Patch STRIKE

A new company has been formed to
work the prospect recently discovered
seven miles south of Rye Patch. The
incorporators are b. f. Curler, Harry
Hunter, George H. Copley and Harry
Hunter, .Jr.
Judge Curler has returned from the
mine, bringing in sampes of the rock,
and from these it would appear to be
one of the best surface showings ever
made in the state. Many of the sam
les show free gold in porphyry. the
rock fairly bristling with small mug
gets. Assays have been made of rock
in which no gold is shown to the naked
eye, with values ranging from 500 to
1927 per ton.
The ore shoot is two feet wide and
has been uncovered for distance of
Is feet. A shaft five feet in depth has
been sunk at the point of discovery.
A small force of men are engaged in
doing the location work, and this num-
Der will no doubt be increased as cir
cumstances warrant

UP RICH COUNTRY

This morning J. j. Shields, who will
have charge of construction and the Sc
curing of rights-of- for the w. N.
r. r. Co., left for the north, accompan-
led by Col. Place. While on the trip
Mr.. Shields will secure all possible
data from the ranchers and merchants
as to the tonnage both in and out Of
territory not reached by the railroads
at the present time. Owners of large
tracts Of land will be interviewed and
their intentions or willingness to dis
pos of same in small tracts will be
noted. There is sufficient land in
Paradise Valley and the McDermitt
country to provide homes for hundreds
of small farmers. The Paradise coun-
try could produce thousands of tons Of
garden vegetables, small fruits, grains,
potatoes, etc, if the land was cut up
into small tracts of from 10 to 40
acres.
In the Quinn river country the Eli
son Ranching company have some 28,-
900 acres. Should they offer this land
at reasonable price, in small tracts,
to settlers, it would add untold wealth
to Humboldt county's ranch produc-
tion. f. p. Ellison, president and gen.
eral manager of this big company, is
not new to the land business. He and
his associates purchased some 100000
acres of Canadian land some few years
ago, disposed of a great portion Of if,
built sugar factories, flour mills, ele
vators, ETC., and now, where a few
short years ago nothing whatever was
produced from this land, there are hun
dreds Of farmers living in peace and
plenty. The Ellison people have lately
purchased the Tom Nelson holdings.
Few people in Nevada fully under
stand what it means to the wealth and
progress of this state to have the FL
iison people interested in these big
land deals. +. p. Ellison, the head Of
the company, is one Of Utah's most
wealthy and progressive citizens. He
is interested in numerous enterprises,
scattered all over the country. Sur
rounding his home town of Layton,
one finds the finest farming coun-
try in Utah. Mr.. Ellison built the big
canal that supplies the water for the
vast acreage in that vicinity and has
lately completed the best equipped
power plant to be found anywhere, at
a cost of some 100000. He is either

of some of the most successful enter
prises in the west. With his personal
effort and large financial backing in
terested in Humboldt county and the
building of the proposed Winnemueea
Northern railroad this section and the
country north will experience cn ad-
ded prosperity little dreamed of at the
present time.
The engineering crew of the rail
way company are now at Paradise hill.
When the location is decided on line
will be run to the town of Paradise
from the nearest point of the loop.
When Mr. Shields completes his inves-
tigation his report will be embodied in
a tonnage statement that we predict
will far exceed that of any other like
territory in the west not served by a
railroad.

ent for the National Mines company,
is spending the day in town. He will
leave tomorrow for the Eastern Star
mine. at Gold Circle, accompanied by
ANDY Stinson. Mr.. Bolam represents
John f. Pelton, who has acquired an
interest in the property.
To Silver State reporter, this
morning. Mr.. Bolam gave brief de-
scription of the hold-up incident In
Mexico last fall. The party of Ameri-
cans. composed of himself, John r.
Pelton, C. l.. Wilson and Ed Bingham,
were travelling to point where they
had a concession to look .fter. AS
thew approached small town they
discovered that the rebels were in the
act of capturing it. Deeming discre-
tion the better part of valor, they
sidestepped the town, and were pro-
ceeding through a narrow canyon, a
few miles to the south, when they
heard command equivalent to halt
in the English language.
Glancing up the sides OF the canyon,
they discovered about fifty rifles point
ed in their direction, and they halted.
As the rebels approached, John f. Pei
ton produced box of fine cigars, winch
relieved the situation to considerable
extent. and the "hombres evidenced
n disposition to settle the difficulties
by diplomatic methods. After dis
cussion, it was agreed to allow the

ALL SET FOR SEP.
TENDER PRIMARY

Saturday several nominations for
the primary were filed with Secretary
of State Brodigan. Among the num-
Der were Senator w. A. Massey and
Representative Roberts. Senator Mas
sey will have no opposition for the
Republican nomination, ald it is
probable that his only opponent at
the polls will be the Democratic nomi-
nee. In that event, he should expert
ence no serious difficulty in being
elected.
Representative, Roberts will be
forced to contest the nomination with
August Frohlich, speaker of the last
assembly. The latter confesses to be-
ing a Bull Mooser and wished to run
on that ticket, but as the new party
has no official standing in the state,
he was compelled to go ON the ticket
as a regular Republican.
1t is generally conceded that Ed
Roberts has made the best representa-
tive in congress the state ever had for
a frst-term man, and in addition, he is
a goo campaigner. The party oppo-
sition to him is confined to few dis
gruntled and disappointed aspirants
for postoffices.
There will be at least three candi-
dates for justice Of the Supreme Court.
Patrick McCarran and E. E. Heer will
contest the Democratic nomination,
one of whom, of course, will win. Then
there will be Joseph M. Lockhart, of
Ely, the only Republican aspirant, and
Ex- congressman Bartlett, who will run
independent.

Additional County Candidates.

In addition to the list published in
Saturdays Silver State, the following
candidates have filed nomination
papers for the primary election with
County Clerk Davey:
For County Surveyor, H. H. Sheldon.
Member County Board of Education
(short term), W. A. Brown.
Assemblymen, T. A. Brandon, G. b.
Welshons.
The small number of names fled for
the primary by no means indicates that
there will be no contests for many of
the offices. There are large number
of candidates who do not wish to make
two campaigns-one for the primary
and the other for the election. Then,
again, there is to be taken into con-
sideration several additional facts.
Some few do not care to subscribe to
the required affidavit to get their
name on the primary ballot, and by
waiting until the last Of September q
candidate win be able to ascertain who
is going to run for the Office upon
which he has an eye, and will be able
to more accurately guage his chances
for an election.

Primary Law q Humbug.

All politicians, as well as good
share of laymen, are agreed that the
present primary law is humbug. In
addition to creating an unnecessary
expense, it opens up the campaign
early in July, keeping candidates and
their friends in stew during the en-
tire heated season. The only excuse
for its enactment was to give any man
who wished an equal opportunity to
run for office with the bosses. The
same effect can be secured by repeal
ing the entire act, with the exception
of the clause which provides for the
names of candidates going on the bal
lot by petition.

In the Thirteenth Indiana there was
no question about the victory of the
Taft men. because the temporary chair
man representing the Taft side was
conceded to have been elected by one
half vote more than the Roosevelt
candidate This one-half vote extended
through the riotous proceedings, and
although 1t was not as wide az a barn
door 1t was enough. The chairman put
the question as to electing the Taft
delegates, and after continuous objec-
ti0n lasting three hours declared the
vote carried The Roosevelt men thus
prevented q roll call and then bolted.
