RAWH|OE
REVIVAL

The old camp of Rawhide is pick
ing up and promises to be among the
big producers in another year New
people have gone in and taken hold
Of the properties that show merit.
Cap. Davis is at the camp and
has taken one of the milling plants
and assures the miners better than
a 90 per cent Of extraction. The re-
suit Is that many are now working
on leases and some excellent ore is
being developed which will be treat
ed by Cap. Davis. He is one OF the
real successful mill and cyanide men
of Nevada, and when he makes a
statement the miners put their faith
in him. The news of Il revival in
Rawhide is good news, as number
of Carsonites are interested out that
way. Rawhide has had its ups and
downs and is now being boosted up
on real merit 1t will be among the
real producers of gold in the future.

ORCHARD
PRODUCES
REGULARLY
The Zimmer Place Has
Prize VaritleS

At the Nick Zimmer orchard, a
couple of miles west of this city
there is the only real orchard in this
county. This orchard was selected
and planted by Mr. Gibson. who died
some years ago, in fact before the
orchard came into its prime. Some
ten acres OF choice fruit is the result
of his careful selection
In spite OF the TACT that nearly
every home in Carson is supplied
with orchard product, yet Mr.. Zim-
mer finds no difficulty in disposing
OF his par excellent fruit. The
Maiden Blush apple which ripens in
the fall is sold as fast as picked and
it is certainly most beautiful apple,
/; Ii, for eating and cooking, Ord
ers ahead are received for this ex-
cellcnt apple.
The winter varieties are also to be
found in the orchard. The New
town Pippin, the Greening and a
number of other staple varieties Of
apples are marketed from this small
but thoroughly kept orchard.
There has not been complete
failure III fruit crop at the thinner
orchard. since the trees began to
bloom. In the lawer valley about
every third year fruit crop can be
expected, but at his holdings there
is always an abundance Of fruit
This came about in measure
from the selection OF trees. Trees
that bloom late and ripen at the
right time. 1t was careful selectic'.

directly against the slope OF the
Sicrras. which acts as a frost break
