state affairs. He favors the
election of United States senator's

GOVERNMENT REPORT SON
IRRIGATION IN NEVADA

A recent bulletin issued by the
Department Of Commerce and
Labor, at Washington, deals with
irrigation in Nevada. Some very
interesting items appear in this
bulletin and which show the mag
nitude of the state and the work
under way by both government and
private enterprises.
Tie number of farms under
fence and producing is given as
1859. The number of acres in
cluded in the farms lie 2.7l4.475
Of the farms under irrigation 2, 460
is computed. The same tables
bring forth the fact that over half
million acres more could be
brought under irrigation by the
water supply now available. This
is compiled by the census of 1910.
There has been a material increase
both in farms and acreage cultivat-
ed since that time.
In Douglas county every farm
was reported as irrigated, while in
Clark and Lander counties all but
one farm was using water.
Ninety-two per cent Of I'll farms
in this state are under irrigation.
According to the report there has
been comparatively little develop
ment of any source of water.

BALLOT FOR PRIMARIES
URDERGOES CHANGE

The official primary election
ballot will be changed somewhat
from that Of the last primary
election. Instead of three ballots.
e for each party, the ballot this
year will he one. The names Of
the candidates of the different
parties will be in separate columns.
For instance. if anyone desires to
vote the democratic ticket he Is to
place al K in the square of the
column marked democratic party
and he must then vote the demo-
cratic ticket. If, however, he
marks the x in the democratic
square and votes for one or more
candidates in another party these
votes do not count. but, the ballot
is not rendered void as these for
whom he has voted in the democra-
tic column will still be counted, if
man indicates with an X that he
is a democrat and votes in the
columns of the other parties tley
cannot be considered. Should q
voter fail to designate his party
and then votes straight ticket in
any party the ballot will be good
and the votes counted. II, however
he fails to designate his party and
votes in two or more columns the
ballot will be cast aside.
T. The purpose of the primary
ballot is to have convention OF
the whole people of the three
parties. AS a matter Of precau,
tion in preventing the loss of 8
ballot il will be well for any voter
to indicate his party and to vote ir
the column of that party only. Any
other proceeding will render the
ballot void and in any case cannot
do the candidate of another party

COAL MEASURES
SHOWING STRONG

A new discovery of coal of
excellent grade is said to have been
made at Coaldale. on the property
controlled by L. K. Koonts P. v.
Rovnianek and associates and about
half mile from the original
discovery. Mr.. Koontz has return
ed from a trip to the coal property
and states that the old workings
have been opening up a decidedly
better measure of coal that is now
breaking six feet across and of ex-
cellent quality. The new discovery
is not as wide as the old but con.
tains very little ash and promises
to yield good tonnage of pro-
duct that can be used for any pur-
pose t. which fuel of this character
can be applied.
Development work is being carrl-
ed on continuously at different
points on this property and else
where in the Coaldale district and
tests of the product indicate that it
can be used successfully as a
cooking coal. Some of the mater
ial which has been subjected to
anal SIS and exhaustive labratOry
tests. is said to be admirably suit
ed to this use.
The discovery of coal of this
character is regarded by many as
one of the most important mineral
developments in southern Nevada
as its introduction as fuel of for
melting will solve the problem of
an economical means of treating
the vast quantities of base ores
found in the various mining dis
trict of Nevada and which are not

the milling concentrating and
