For
Buckeye Placers

The Buckeye placer mines, now
owned by the Ancient Gold and
Placer Mining company in which F.
Slater is heavily interested, may be
the scene of merited activity before
long. Mr.. Slater, according to re-
ports, has about completed arrange
ments with eastern people that will
enable the company to install a
dredger, such as is used to work
placer gold on large scale.
The richness of the Buckeye plac-
er mines have'never been disputed,
but the drawback has been the large
sum necessary to get water onto the
ground and equip a dredger. Mr.
Slater has been working on the
scheme for the past three years and
it is gratifying to learn that success
now seems certain.

productive as any soil in Carson
Valley.

joining Mr.. Gray, sold to Carl
Heidtman, for a sum said to be in
the neighborhood of SO, 900. This

Contracts For Feeding
Beef are Few

To what extent the importation of
beef from Australia to this country,
under the new tariff, will affect the
American market is hard to tell but
it seems reasonable to suppose that
the foreign meats will depress the
price of American beef. Some of
the lage companies that buy and
sell beef on large scale, are not
buying so extensively as in former
years, with result that contracts
with farmers for feeding, are very
limited. This fact is noticeable even
in this locality. The number of head
beef steers that will be brought in
to be fattened this winter will fall
far below the number of former
years, according to the best inform
alton at hand.
The big concerns are fattening all
of the steers that their own ranches
Will handle, but they are not taking
chances in buying steers and placing
them on other ranches at so much
per day. The margin of profits on
such deals are not wide and sud
den drop in price can bring great
loss. Some stock will be fed here
but not as many in former years.
During the next three years every
stockman, and farmer will have
ample opportunity to learn of the
good or bad of free trade and theor-
les as expounded on the subject by
wise politicians must give way to
actual results and every voter can
Judge by the size of his pocket book
or not he has been helped
or hurt.

Some Pumpkin
is Raised by Castle

A pumpkin almost too large to be
rolled through an ordinary door,
was sent to this office this week by
VIM. Castle and will remain on dis
play until our appetite demands
pumpkin pie-which will be very
soon.
Mr.. Castle has little farm up
in Jobs Peak canyon, or nearly so,
and raises the widest variety of
vegetables and berries of any place
in the county. During the summer
he sold large quantities of straw
berries and other delicious berries,
besides vegetables of all kinds. He
is now marketing his pumpkin crop,
having raised over two tons of them
that are as good as any that ever
grew.

Notice of bids for carrying the
mail on three routes have been post
ed in the Gardnerville office. The
bid for carrying the Genoa mail re-
veals the fact that after JAM, 1914,
the present route is to be discontinue
ed and the mail will be carried via
Waterloo and Valley Springs. In
stead of the route being from Mind
en- to Genoa it will be from Gard
nerville to Genoa. The bid calls for
the mail to be delivered daily except
Sunday. The residents above Genoa
have been working for several
years to have this route changed.
The route from Gardnerville to
Coleville via the Moutain House re-
mains unchanged, save that the
route is to be let under one contract
instead of two. Undoubtedly the
route from the Mountain House to
Wellington is to be discontinued.
Bids are also asked for, for carry
ing the mail between Gardnerville
and Minden fourteen times week.

Work Has
Started on
Project

The Smith Valley Land Co. recent
ly made application for $4,000 acre
feet of water to be diverted from
the west Walker river. This COM
pany owns near to 5000 acres of
land in Smith Valley, while the a.
mount of water that will be avail
able under this application is suffi-
cient to care for about 5000 acres
of land, says the Mason News.
In conjunction with the company's
operations citizens of Smith Valley
have banded together to place under
water several thousand acres of ad-
ditional land. C. E. Shillingford
is the moving spirit in this enter
prise, and after several years of
ceasless labor he is about to see his
plans realized. A campaign for
raising capital for the venture was
started Monday and within 36 hours
total of S65, 200 was pledged in
subscriptions while on the following
day Mr.. Shillingford took subscript-
ions for Sl2, 900 additional, in Carson
and vicinity.
VIM. Coleman will be the engi-
neer in charge, and is now in the
field with his corps making the sur
veys for the canal and plating the
land that that is to come under the
ditch. 1t is estimated that the cost
per acre will be $40, with an annual
assessment of few cents per acre
for maintenance.
This project has been under con-
for several years, but it
only recently that the plans have
been consumated. The manner in
which Smith Valley farmers have
to the capital stock shows
that they are in earnest, and should
the same aggressive spirit character
ize the construction detail a large
area of cultivated land will be add
ed to the thousands of acres now
under high state of cultivation in
our neighboring valley.
