DOCK MINING COMPANY
MAKES SHIPMENT OF ORE

Several tons of high grade ore were
shipped this week to the Hazen sam
pier by the Dock Mining company,
whose property is situated about four
miles from Awakening. This company
has had a force of men working for
some time. taking out ore, and there
areat present on the dump several car
loads that will run $50 per ton, most
ly gold values.
The ore is sorted, the high grade be-
ing shipped, the balance being left on
the dump until such time as mill
is erected close at hand. Assays of
the ore shipped gave value as high as
1920 per ton, although it is probable
that the average for the entire lot will
be something less than this figure. E.
G. Miller, of Winnemucca, who is one
of the principal members of the COM
pany, will 60 to Hazen Monday in con-
nection with the shipment.

PROGRESS OF ma.
!, :. T|ONAL CAMP PA|CN

1t now transpires that all is not
peace and harmony in the Nevada
fhird-party movement. Taking time
by the forelock, Messrs, Comins,
Springmeyer and Summerfeld held a
little convention of their own some
days ago, nominated themselves for
delegates to the Chicago convention,
and then started the circulation of Pc
titions to support the nominees, Great
scheme, if it had been let alone and
allowed to 60 through unchallenged.
But the three Hooley street tailors
reckoned without their host. Now
comes Colonel Reeves, the original
Roosevelt man in Nevada, who says
he will not stand for that sort OF
graft. Ii Nevada is gong to send a
delegation to the sorehead convention
at Chicago, he proposes to 60 himself,
and accordingly has called mass con-
vention to meet in Reno on July %.
The "call'' is published in the Demo
cratic journal Of Reno, which is oblig-
ingly doing everything in its power
to make the breach in the Republican
ranks as wide as possible.
AS both factions claim to be the
original, simOn-pure and only "Pro-
gressives' in the state, it is probable
that contesting delegations will be sent
to Chicago.

BRISK TRADE IN NEVADA
WOODS ON BOSTON fiARKtT

Wool trading on the Boston market
has been very active during the past
week, aggregate sales being various
" estimated at from 100000 to TO-
100000 pounds, with a majority of the
trade inclining to the larger figure.
Mills have secured a large volume
of duplicate orders and condition of
the goods market is very satisfactory.
Unexpected strength also mas been
shown at the London auctions. Politi-
cal influences are entirely IGNORED.
Bulk of the transactions has been in
the new territory stocks, mostly Ne
vadas, Utahs, Wyomings and Idahos in
the original bags. Nevada and Utah
sold at 20 to 211a cents, or So to 81
cents secured, and Idaho sold at 21 to
% cents, or 60 to 62 cents secured.

NATURE SOLVES PROBLEM
OF HIGH LIVING COST

Nature is solving the high cost Of
living problem. An abundant rainfall
throughout the country has assured
bumper crops, and the effects are IT,
ready being felt in the Cricago market.
Vegetables of all kinds are selling so
per cent lower than the prices of
year ago, and still further decline is
expected.
With the exception of wheat, grain
crops of all kinds are larger than in
several years. The potato crop is un-
preeedented, which has caused a big
drop in prices. Potatoes which sold
at $5.25 barrel for the corresponding
week of last years are selling in Chi
cago at $2.75 barrel Cabbages,
which were $3.50 crate last year at
this time, are selling for 81 and $1.15.
Good tomatoes are selling from 40 to
60 cents crate, less than one-half the
price they brought year ago.

Probably Refers to Winnemucca Nor
thern.

In speaking of railroad to run out
of Winnemucca to tap the Quinn river
and Catow valley, Mr.. Hill probably
refers to the Winnemucca Northern,
which will undoubtedly be the first
railroad to be built from here to the
north. It's route has not vet been
fully decided on, but Col. Place, gen
eral manager, will leave for he north
Tuesday, accompanied by Chief Engi-
neer Sheldon, for that purpose. Wheth-
er or not the Western Pacific is behind
the project is known only to Colonel
Place and the officials of that road,
and up to date they have not seen fit
to take the public into their confidence
on that point.

LaFollette a Thorn in Teddy's Side.

Senator LaFoliette, who claims tnat
Roosevelt entered into pre-conven-
tion arrangement to throw his support
to the Wisconsin snator for the Re-
publican nomination, continues to be
q thorn in the side Of the Colonel. In
the current issue of LaFollette s
Weekly appears long article, written
by the Senator himself, which says in
part
"But Roc sevelt would not consider
Hadley. He would have no one but
himself At the first suggestion of
Ha Hey he ordered the third party ma

eff he had the evidence to prove
that Taft could not be honestly and
fai rly nominated why did he not di-
rect his lieutenants to present that
evidence to the national committee
and then to the convention and the
country so clearly that the convention
would not have dared to nominate
Taft, and Taft could not in honor,
have accepted the nomination, if made.
1.-The reason is obvious. An anlysis
of the testimony will, | am convinced
show that neither Taft nor Roosevelt
had majority of honestly or regularly
elected delegates. This, the managrs
on both sides well understood. Both
eandidates were trying to seat suf
ficent number of fraudulently creden
tailed delegates, added to those regu
larly chosen to support him, to secure
control Of the convention and tC
steam roll" the nomination. 1t was
proceeding with which each was ae
quainted and which each had sane
toned in prior conventions.
"This explains the extraordinary
conduct Of Roosevelt. He could not
enter upon such an analysis of the
evidence as would prove Taft's regu
larly elected delegates in the minority
without inevitably subjecting his owr
spuriously credentialed delegates tt
an examination SO critical as would
expose the falsity of his own conten
tion that he had an honestly elected
majority of the delegates. He there

thing, to cry fraud, to bully the ma

which would make impossible calm

RICH UNOfYfLOPfD
COUNTRY TO NORTH

Well founded rumors of the build
ing of a railroad tapping the Quinn
river valley, Pueblo, Catlow and Dun
der Bitten valleys, connecting Harney
valley of Oregon with Winnemucca
and opening one of the finest agricul-
tural sections of the west with vast
industrial gain to northwestern Neva-
da, were brought in by K. b. Hill, Of
Winnemucca, one of the organizers of
the Continental Lake irrigation pro.
ject which is destined to reclaim 26,.
900 acres OF Pueblo valley.
1.-THE engineers are already survey
ing the route said Mr.. Hill last
night, "and 1 firmly believe the
proposition will go through. 1t is des-
tined to open magnificent country
and would tap an agricultural area of
nearly two million acres which would
be made tributary to Nevada and
California.
"The Hartman line is now building
in the Harney valley but it is hard to
say just what is behind this contem-
plated line from that road into Ne.
vada. The proposed branch would
leave the Harvey valley line, about
thirty miles from Burns between Har-
ney lake and Malheur and would have
the easiest kind Of grades 2l0 miles to
Winnemucca. Besides tapping the
rich valleys that are being put under
water it would save several hundred
miles in tn ehaul from Idaho and
Montana to San Francisco and / know
that several different railroads are in
terested in the matter. / believe
however, that the Western Pacific are
the hackers of the men now in the
fild.o
Mr.. Hill gives some interesting fig.
ures on the big irrigation projects
now under way in northwestern Ne.
vada and southern Oregon which will
eventually become of tremendous i'm
portance to the prosperity of this
state.
The Continental Lake project is
building two bitches down Pueblo
valley, a combined distance of twenty
four miles. This lies in northern
Humboldt county in the Pine Forest
range, the lake itself a watershed of
1900 square miles. Two miles of
this ditch have been completed and
water will be placed on some of their
lands next season.
The Quinn river irrigating project
which is being backed by the Nor.
mons, is intended to reclaim 100000
acres. The instigators of the deal
have taken over the old Harden
ranch in Kings river valley. This land
lays about sixty miles northwest from
Winnemucca and will make grand
agricultural section.
just over the line in Oregon is the
Trout creek project known as the
Tum Tum Lake Irrigation company
which is destined to reclaim 10000
acres. This work is progressing
rapidly.
In the aCtlow valley there are ESQ.,,
900 acres of available agricultural
land which is being rapidly settled up
In Dunder Bitten valley it is not
question Of lack of water but toe
much. They have 25-mile ditch
there for drainage purposes.
All Of this virgin country awaits
the completion of these reclamation
projects and the furnishing of trans
portation to become a wonderful fruit
and grain raising section.-Reno Jour
