DEATH OF PROMINENT MIN
ING MAN.
George E. Gum Succumbs to Heart
Disease in Salt Lake City.

George j.. Gum, the widely known
mining engineer and operator, died
quite suddenly in Salt Lake City on
Tuesday OF this week from an attack
of heart trouble Mr. Gum had been
suffering from this trouble for some
time and had recently returned to Salt
Lake from visit to the southern
country and Honolulu. His physicians
and friends thought that he had fully
recovered from the trouble and his
sudden death came as shocking sur
prise to his many friends i'll Utah, Ne
vada and elsewhere.
George +. Gum was a native OF
Ohio, aged SO years. He was not a
man OF family, but leaves two broth
the other of New York. and several
nieces and nephews. He spent his
early days in mining in Montana and
finally came into the service of the
Guggenheim people as field engineer
for the American Smelling and REIN
ing Co. While in this capacity he
picked up the Ely copper properties
and made fortune out of them He
was one of the first big operators to
recognize the merits of the Yerington
district. and in 1906 took hold of the
old Dyer copper property. now known
as the Western Nevada Failing to get
time enough on this deal to open ur
the ground to his satisfaction he trans
ferred his operations to the old Spragp
property and. with his associates and
Superintendent Jack Welsh. made out
of this property the big Mason Valley
mine As partner in this work he
had associated with him w. B. Thomp
son. formerly a mining man of Mon
tana. but now prominent New YORK
capitalist and the senior member Of
the firm of Thompson. Towle & Co
brokers and promoters.
George Gum was a whole souled,
generous and charitable man. one who
did hundreds OF kindnesses and helped
hundreds of people. but who never
advertised the fact. He and his asso-
ciates in the Mason Valley Co built
the smelter at Thompson in this dis
trict and did more than manv have
done to attract attention \to this dis
trict to the outside world He is re
ported to have left large estate
something over million His manv
friends in this district deeply regret hi
sudden taking off. and will long re
member pleasant associations with
every visit he made to this section

Central Pacific railroad lands Mr.
Morris referred the party to tract OF

desired must be about 10000 to 25.O00

who lived on the ranch, came TO the
house about that time and told Giussi
to desist and tried to arrest him. but
Guissi started to run away. Gardelli
then secured a 30-30 rifle and shot
GiuSsi through the leg. stopping his
flight He then summoned the Deputy
Sheriff at Dayton and Thompson went
to the ranch and arrested Giussi and
brought him to Gerington, He will
have a hearing in the Justice Court
today, probably, The man is evidently
insane at times He has worked
around Mason Valley at different
times. and on several occasions show
ed signs of being crazy. DrS. Leavitt
and Brown attended to the wound in
Giussi's leg this morning. 1t is not
a serious wound as no bones were

SUMMARY OF MINING NEWS IN
YER|NCTON DISTRICT FOR week

thing worked to the perfect satisfac-
ton of Superintendent Week. Thurs
day the furnace and concentrating
plant were started for run OF some
duration. While little has been said
about this plant, it is OF considerable
interest to know that it has been
started, as it is capable OF handling
from 60 to Is tons OF ore day, which
will keep quite a number OF miners
at work getting out ore. 1t is reported
that the mine has a million and a half
tons of ore in sight ready for stopping.
There are eighteen men now employed
in the mine and about the furnace and
concentrator.
Empire e-Nevada-At the Smith lease
on the Empire Nevada the production
of shipping ore is regular
The Mccormick lease on the north
end OF this property on the Nevada
King claim. is producing its regular
tonnage from the big glory hole 1t
looks as though this was going to be
the biggest thing on the Empire Ne

ting gasoline hoist on their property
this week to facilitate the extraction
OF ore They have splendid show
ing and have shipped three carloads
SO far that have averaged about 8 per
cent copper They have encountered
in the workings some very rich ore,
black oxide bornite and glance. The
formation is diorite and porphyry and
the indications are that this property
is going to be one of the big things
in the district A carload OF high
grade ore is now being taken out. and
production will be increased materially
as soon as the hoist is i'll operation.
The boys have done a vast amount
OF work since they took hold of the
property last September. and they are
now getting their reward
The Ierington district is certainly
doing some great advertising III the
way of production. With the smelter
right at the door OF the mines every
man who owns claim or can get
lease is hard at work digging for ore
More work is going on and a greater
number of miners are employed than
ever before. More properties are be-

TIMELY HINTS TO GROWERS
OF BEETS.
Selection of the Land is One of the
Important Things.
Selection Of Land.

Land that has been growing good
crops OF alfalfa, grain or pototoeS l.
certain OF producing a good crop oi
sugar bcets. Although this crop can
be grown with proiit on soils that are
not we'll adapted to other crops, nev-
crtheless. The best Yields are obtained
on the soils in the highest state OF Ter
tility.
Preparation OF Land.
Similar TO other cultivated crops. the
sugar beet requires a deep, wcllpre
pared seed bed. The ground should
be plowed from to II inches deep
a. early as possible and worked down
in a finely pulverized condition for
planting This allows the ground TO
become sufficiently firm for the rapid
termination of the seed
Planting.
Beet seed should be sown as early
as the conditions will permit, usually
about the middle OF April. The seed
is planted in rows from 20 to p inchc
apart. Where large tracts are grown
a four-row beet drill is used. but or
small tracts OF less than FIVE acres .
garden hand drill is the implement
generally used. The rows are general
"
the use of the garden drill no space i
wasted at the ends OF the rows, a. i
the case in turning with the horse drill
II planted more than two inches deep
the young plants are generally weak
cned before the leaves appear above
the surface of the ground Plant Is
pounds of seed per acre, from one to
two inches deep
Irrigation After Seeding.
To insure a uniform stand of beets
it is generally necessary to irrigate
Immediately after seeding. The land
should be sufficiently level to confne
the water to the furrowS II the water
floods the land a crust forms over the
moistencd areas. preventing the
growth of the tender plants.
Burrows may be made in every row

gated more quickly and uniformly
than il the burrows are made in every
other row.
