SOUTHERN PACIFIC TELLS
OF LAND DIVISIONS.
This Company Has Established
Headquarters in Reno.

{. f. Mainland, sales agent for South
ern Pacific lands, has definitely decided
upon the location OF local Office in
Reno for the handling of Nevada farm
lands.
He is arranging for Office room in The
large quarters at the northwestern corner
OF Second and Center streets, which is
occupied by the mining brokerage Office
of " ill Heffernan.
Recently Mr. Wantland stated 20 a
Reno newspaper, that interest in Nevada
lands has extended into southern Idaho.
aud has representatives in that section as
well AS in central California and Utah
securing lands. Lands in Elko county
are now being specialized these being
located in the neighborhood of Deeih
aud Wells. 1t is the policy of the COM
pany to build up one section at a time.
In Humboldt COUNTY lands about Win
nemncca are on sale. ana next spring It
is expected to reach into Churchill
county in the vicinity Of Loveock 10
offer railroad lands for sale
Although he notes tendency on the
part of large ranch owners to suhdivide
their properties for general sale Mr.
Wantland declares his belief that many
such tracts OF land are being held at so
high a figure as to discourage capital.
He mentioned the fact that much OF the
cheap land IN Elko county is being taken
up by Morm'ns OF Utah and elsewhere
for subdivision and cultivation The
Mormons. he said, are among the long
est headed land buveIs in the world
fguratively speaking
We are glad To see subdivisions and
sale of private lands, said MIR Want
land, there is mistaken idea that the
railroad would do what it could to dis
courage the sale OF private lands. We
feel that the subdivision OF private lands
OF the greatest value to the State and to
us The more land that is sold. the
more will be sold until available lands
are taken up and the agricultural in
dnslres of the State are OIL broad and
stable foundation. -
Mr.. Wantland recently heard a man
down the State suggest four notices for
each of the four walls in the legislative
halls of Nevada for the coming session.
With more force than elegance this man
suggested for the principal motto across
the front wall of the room, TO hell
with politics For one side he suggests
Industrial Developments; for the other
side, Get Down to Brass Tacks and
Ignore the Frills, and for the fourth
Nevada Will Beat the World in Agri-
culture" He has found general SEN
timent To the effect that with the per
sonnel OF the next Legislature much
should be accomplished if politics are
sletracked.

Claims the Honor.

The following letter from Smith
Valley explains itself:
Editor Times: In the last issue of
your paper, in the article on data and
statistics compiled by ]. M. Hous
ton. there is an error | would like to
correct in regard to the first alfalfa
sowed in Mason Valley | sowcd the
first patch of alfalfa in Mason Valley
in May, 1870, on what was known as
the Weston ranch and sold the ranch
with the alfalfa to Charles Snyder in
December. 1870 Some of the old
settlers must remember about it. es-
pccially J B. Gallagher. James Mich
oil, Henry Camic and others | think
that Frank Osborne sowed some the
same year on what is now known as
the Fitzpatrick ranch. Charles Sny-
der will also. undoubtedly. verify
these statements.
Yours truly,
II. NJ. SCHOOLEY.

Building Moved.

Charles Snyder had the corrugated
iron building which sat at the lower
end of Main street moved to his vacant
lot on Min street Just this side of the
Davidson residence. The moving was
quite novel feature The building
was placed upon large skids and then
hauled to its present location by two
large traction engines, one owned by
Reymers and Martin and the other
by Frank Freeman. The big machines
walked up the street with the build
ing as easily as team of horses
would haul load of hay. The build
ing will be fitted up and used for a
garage, much needed institution i'll

OLD AURORA COMING TO
THE FRONT.
Utah People Contemplate Big
Development.

Jesse Knight and associates, of Salt
Lake, who recently took over the old
Aurora properties have incorporated and
already laid out extensive work. The
long tunnel will be pushed ahead this
winter and in the spring much new
work will be started.
Old Aurora has produced millions i'll
gold in years gone by, but with depth
great flows of water were encountered
and immense pumps had to be installed
to handle this water. This made the
mining of ore very expensive and lig
tunnel was planned to drain the ground.
Before the original promoters could ac-
complish their ends they ran short of
money and things came to standstill
Experts from many sections have pro
nounced several of the properties to be
very large low grade ones and with the
low-cost electric power now at hand the
ores can be worked at a nice profit.
The new holders will mine and treat
these low grade ores on a large scale
and will, no doubt, make a hummer of
the old camp next summer.
There is a probability that the camp
will also have railroad communication
from one source or another in 1918 if
all plans of the new promoters carry.

MASON VALLEY WILL USE
STEAM SHOVEL.
Company Arranging to Handle a
Portion Of Estate This Way.

For some days past the people of this
section have heard blasts going off at
almost any old time of the dav on the
other side of the river and wondered
what all the noise was about. Well. it
is Superintendent Cox, of the Mason
Valley Mines Co., shooting off the top
of the mountain and getting rid of the
Gaping of the big ore bodies on the es-
tate. They are making good progress,
Judging from the number of shots set off
every day. The object of this work is to
open up the contact for steam shovels,
as it is believed that this ground can be
worked i'll this manner for consider
able depth from the surface.
The company's smelter at Thompson
will soon be taking from 800 to 1000
tons more of ore per day-soon after
January |, 1913-when there will be two
9O0ton furnaces in operation. 1t will
about double the tonnage now being
handled, and this means an increased
payroll and a greater disbursement of
funds all around. 1t also means that
the Nevada Copper Belt road will have
to hustle to transport ore enough to keep
the srneter going
The Mason Valley Mines Co. is get
ting ready for much larger production,
which means the employment of much
larger force of miners and smeltermen
and greater prosperity for the whole
district
1t is also an assured fact that before
-luoo Sup AZ p9Uo4 seq SI6I Ie9A 9ill
pany vii have added two converters
to its Thompson smelling plant,
wherein all the matte produced will be
converted into blister copper on the
ground instead OF being shipped to the
converter plant at Salt Lake, as is now
being done.

ago Mrs Fitzgerald received a mes
sage written on a telegraph receiving
blank, purporting to be from person

Mrs Fitzgerald was grief-stricken
She called up Manager John NJ. Roesel

Elk in good standing. A telegram from
Jackson brought reply that no one

there recently.
An investigation was started. which
showed that the telegraph company

balmed.
Just who perpetrated the deception
