SUGAR COMPANY OPERATIONS

Four thousand sacks Of extra fine
sugar are now stored in the Neva-
da Sugar Company stereroom and
this supply is being added to each
"a hours by something like 500 adj
ditional sacks, weighing 100 pounds
each. Commencing on the second
of this month, the factory has been
slicing on an average Of about 275
tons of beets each I'd hours, this
amount being exceeded the last
two days, when the runs have been
around 800 tons. For the first five
days Of this years campaign 1904
tons of beets were sliced as COM
pared to 467 tons for the same per-
iod Of last years campaign, which
is something of a testimonial to the
mechanics at the factory and par.
.ticularly to Supt.. R. Stock and
Chief Engineer Tom Powers.
The first shipment Of 1913 Fallop
sugar went out yesterday, when the
two cars were dispatched to Reno,
one to the Flanagan Warehouse
and the other to the Nevada Trans
fer Co. Shipments will be lively
from this time forward and Neva-
da folks will all be eating of the
Fallon product within q short time.
The sugar percentage is not as
high as in former years, the aver
age for the campaign to date being
slightly less than 16 per cent. 1t
is said that the earlier beets, not
having fully matured, are response
bic for this condition and that sub
sequently the late beets will mater
tally boost the average per cent.

STOCK BUYERS
OFFER 10 CENTS

Cattle buyers have invaded the
Reese river country, which is some
thing unusual for this season of
the year and they are more insist
ent than ever on getting punches
of two-year olds for fattening for
the Panama Pacific exposition year.
These men are offering 13 cents on
the hoof, but such stockmen as
Bell, and Keogh and WEIGH know
too we'll the value of their herds to
let go at this time, when they are
plentifully supplied with alfalfa.
They think they can hold onto their
stock little while and get the
benefit of topping off prices by
sending their stock to Mason Valley
or Fallon for the winter.

THAT $4,000

1t goes hard for the San Francis
co papers to say a good word about
Tonopah. Last Friday afternoon
the West End Consolidated Mining
company held a meeting of direct
ors at the headquarters vf the COM

was not word about the fact in

ed space to weakness of the day be-
fore in the stock market. The b.
nanza was the only paper that gave
the news.-Tonopah Bonanza.
Yes, it does 60 hard for San
Francisco papers to say anything
good Of this section OF Nevada. II
is only on very rare occasions that
anything favorable to Nevada
creeps into their columns but any,
thing detrimental to the interests
of the state--especially the mining
interests-is generally played up
strong front page position. And
yet, the San Francisco papers can
not understand why Nevadans Ioath

The Big Four people recently
emptied one of their tubes for re-

few hundred pounds of the native
pebbles that had been in service for
several weeks. To all appearances
they show the normal average wear

If the material still maintains its

A LINCOLN STATUE

Judge Norcross believes that Ne
vada should celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of its admission into
the Union by erecting statue of
Abraham Lincoln in the capitol
square next year. The statue to be
unveiled on July 4th, the date of
the adoption of the state constitu-
ton, or on October 31st, the date
on which President Lincoln signed
the act making Nevada a state.
The funds to be contributed by the
'hool children of the state and if
they do not raise enor gh the ball
ance necessary to be made up by
subscriptions.
: The idea strikes us as heing
good one and we hope to see it ca
ried out. President Lincoln was
friend to Nevada and its people
should do something to perpetuate
his memory. Her people are pat
riotic and generous and we believe
the necessary funds can be easily
raised for the statue. 1t will be
a lasting testimonial to our state
pride and to the memory of a great,
Amer can.
