Again Shipping Ore.

The new owners of the Mcconnell
property are losing no time in doing
things. The resumntion of ore ship
ping bean this week. the haul to the
railroad beino made by teams. 1t is
understood that survey will be start
ed at once for tramway from the
mine to point in the canyon which,
a spur line of the Copper Belt road
will reach. This spur will also soon
be under construction. The tramway
will be about two miles in length and
when it and the railroad spur are COM
pleted the handling of ore for trans
portation will be greatly facilitated.
The Mcconnell mine. under the old
ownership was shipping from 50 to
90 tons per day to the smelter and
when all the new devices are installed
there is no telling what the tonnage
will be, but it will be large as the new
owners contemplate developing the
property on large scale

FALLON MAY LOSE SUGAR
BEET FACTORY.
1t Will be Due to Inability of the
Farmers to Recognize Merit.

..t4' 4
There is a report current that Fai-
Ion may lose its sugar beet factory,
owing to the apathy of the farmers
OF the Stae in recognizing what good
thing such an institution can be made
for Nevada.
In the two seasons that the plant
has operated it has been demonstrated
that the finest sugar in the world can
be made from Nevada raised beets,
also that beet raising can be made a
very profitable industry in the State.
Some of the Churchill county farm
ers who planted small acreages to
beets realized this last season from
$40 to 800 per acre for their crop, and
this is better than can be done on any
crop outside of truck gardening.
There are other communities in the
State where beets were raised and
shipped to the Fallon factory and
splendid returns received, yet for all
that there were NOT One-tenth enough
beets raised all around to make the
operation of the plant financial sue
cess.
The removal of the plant from the
State to Michigan, as is contemplated
by the large stockholders of the con-
Germ, would be calamity to the agri-
cultural resources of Nevada. 1t would
give the outside world chance to
throw cold water on this or any SIM
liar industry that might be started.
The truth of the matter is that this
condition has come about from lack
of interest bv the people who could
make this institution one of the great
est and most successful in the State
and make money themselves from the
production of the material the plant
consumes.
Should the loss of the plant to the
State occur it is not likely that an
other one of the kind would be built
here in another generation. The story
that would greet the people who at
tempted it in later years would be that
the thing had been tried out and was
failure. 1t would take much to con
vince the aext bunch of capitalists
that the plant now here had demon
strated that Nevada raises the best
beets of any country in the world
containing the greatest percentage OF
saccharine matter. and greater ton
mage to the acre.
The farmers of the State, especi-
ally this western portion, do not know
what they are overlooking if they al
low the Fallon plant to be moved out
of the State. Thev will know when it
is gone. We believe this is a matter
that should interest every land owner
in this part of Nevada, and especially
those of Churchill, Lyon, Washoe and
Humboldt counties. Mason Valley.
particularly, should take an interest in
this matter The only way to do it
is to assure the factory people that
thew will be supplied with a sufficient
amount of beets to make the insntu-
ton pay a fair ratesof interest ors sihe

THE DEATH OF MRS. MARY
DOBBINS ANNOUNCED.
Another Old Mason Valley Resi-
dent Passes Away.

Word reacher here Thursday of the
death of Mrs Mary Dobbins former
old time resident of this place. at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Lizzie
Lashbaugh. in Hot. Springs, South
Dakota. The remains are now on
their way to Yerington for burial, ac-
companied by Mr. and Mrs. Lash
baugh, and the funeral will take place
upon their arrival here
There are few in Mason Valley who
settled here early in the eigties and
was married to John Dobbins, one OF
the pioneer prosDectors and residents
OF this section. For number of years
she lived with Mr.. Dobbins in Nc
Connell Canyon where Mr. Dobbins
took ore from both the Mcconnell
mine and the Natchez claim, the lat
ter now a portion of the Malachite
estate. Mr. Dobbins at one time also
owned that portion of the Empire Ne
vada ground which IS now under lease
TO the Smith brothers. and also numer-
Gus claims on the east side of the dis
trict. some of which are now consid-
cred very valuable Mr. Dobbins pass
ed away some nine years ago, and
Mrs Dobbins resided in Yerington un-
til about year ago. when she went to
Hot springs to reside with her daugh-
ter. She was a native of Ireland: we
believe, AGED about 65 years. She has a
nephew and niece somewhere in Ne
vada and besides her dau Inter and her
two grandchildren they are the only
relatives known
While not woman OF education
Mary Dobbins was a wholehearted
charitable woman. and there are many
families in Yerington and Mason Val
lev which will remember her for some
act of kindness done in time of sor-
row or necessity
Arrangements will probably be
made to have the funeral take place
from the Catholic church upon the
arrival of the remains in Yerington.

LARGER HIGH SCHOOL IS
NEEDED IN LYON.
The Structure Built Some Years
Ago Not Adequate.

Some four years ago, when the
nroposition was broached regarding a
HIGH school for Lyon county, there
we're many who considered that il
would be money thrown away to es-
tablish such an institution. 1t was
asserted that there would be but a
small attendance and that the school
could not be maintained. The schoo'
was secured. 1t was b,rilt with bond
issue OF $1,000 and a year after il
opened was too small to accommo
date the pupils. At the present time il
ranks as one OF the leading educa
tional institutions OF the State, and il
has been the means OF allowing many
boy and girl in this section to Sc
cure a higher education without go
ing outside OF the county. There are
those who could not afford to go else
where to secure the learning they
have obtained here. and had it not
been for our high school they would
probably have put up with what they
received in the grammar school.
For the past year, to conduct an
agricultural course. II has been nee
essary to rent outside rooms. This
is Objectionable in many ways and the
County Board of Education and the
people generally seem to think that
some provision should be made To en-
large the school or build a new one.
II the legislature can be made tC
look favorably upon the matter it vii
probably be asked to pass a measure
allowing the people OF Lyon county
10 raise money for this purpose 1t i
also the idea of the Board of Educa-
fion that an experimental farm of 2
few acres should be secured so that
the agricultural students can have
PRACTICAL demonstration OF what can
be done in the farming line in this
county and the surrounding country
One OF the experiments that would be
advantageous is the trying out OF the
pumping system for irrigation on
small farms
The people of the county are get
ting back to the land. There is not
so much OF il as there used TO be that
can be secured readily and at small
cost. An experimental farm would
give the boy who desires 10 follow
farming for living practical as well
as theoretical knowledge of how 10
carry on the business, and this knowl-
edge would keep him from making
many mistakes at the start; would
help him to take advantage OF many
conditions that spell success for him
in his chosen line instead OF failure
Ii there is any place in the State that
needs an agricultural denartmcnt in
the school it is Mason Valley, Lyon
COUNTY. where the rich and fertile
soil awaits the magic touch OF some
one who knows how to make, it
produce bountiful crops that will
place the tillcr OF il in an independent

COPPER BELT ROAD TO BE
EXTENDED.
Surveys Being Made to Extend
Line to Buckskin.

One survey has already been made
for an extension of the Copper Belt
Railroad from the terminal OF the line
at Ludwig to the Kennedy Consoli-
dated mine at Buckskin This survey
leaves the main line of road some dis
tance south of Ludwig, near Delphi
Springs, and runs lower down than
the main line. passing between the
town of Morningstar and the old
pump station on the fat The Ken
nedy Con. mine is about six miles
west OF Ludwig, across Alkali Flat,
but the road will follow the bench
land around to the north, making a
horseshoe. so as to bring the track
close in to the workings of the mine.
This will make nice, easy grade.
lust when work will begin on the CON
structon of the line has not been an
nounced. but the date is probably not
far off
Sor,e months ago the Nevada
Douglas secured an option on the
Kennedy Con. by taking over the stock
in the company owned by Messrs.
Pitt and Campbell, some 100000
shares. This week the Nevada Doug
las secured the holdings of Buckskin
Kennedy in the property, some Zo0,-
000 shares. Kennedy is the original
locator of the mine For some time
his whereabouts were unknown, but
he was finally located on a ranch in
California The Nevada Douglas peo
pie now own practically all of the
stock of the 100000 shares in the in
CORPORATION. 100000 shares being
treasury stock They have made pay
ments on the property and will, with
out doubt, take up the bond when the
time comes.
The movement of the railroad com
pany is an indication of such an out
come.
The California people who still have
lease on the Kennedy Con. for about
year. are taking out ore for shipment
to the smelter The property Is look
ing better than ever and is goin~ to be
one of the big ones in the districtt
While not much is being said about a
smelter for the Nevada da--Douglas, it is
believed that such an institution will
be constructed in the near future
With the Kennedy Con. added to its
holdings the Nevada Douglas will
have an immense and valuable estate
from which great tonnage of ore
can be xtracted-sufficient TO keep
a good sized smelter of its own busy
besides. the extension of the railroad
will put several other copper proper
ties in that vicinity in a position to
extract and ship ore at very low
cost.

Unfortunate Beginning for Year.

On New Years Day Mr. Dellamon-
ica and wife and baby, while coming
from the ranch TO Yerington met with
quite an accident While driving
along the road running south near the
Webster home the horse became
frightened and started to run. Mr..
Dellamonica pulled so hard on the
lines. in trying TO stop the animal that
one of the lines broke. The horse
then whirled around several times and
finally ran into a post at the corner
of Pearl street and the other road
throwing the occupants of the buggy
out Mr.. Dellamonica received bad
lv bruised leg. his wife was consider.
abbey shaken up but the little child
escaped without injury. The buggy
was badly wrecked, but the horse was
not injured

An Unruly Steer.

A couple of vaqueros from the Mil
Ter & Lux ranch were called to the
Young ranch last Sunday to subdue
and capture a warlike 4year~old steer
which was terrorizing the women and
children of the neighborhood When
the vauueros went near the animal he
threw up his head and with tail at
half-mast made charge The boys
got out of the way in time, by a
scratch. The animal made several
charges before he was roped, thrown
down and finally lead away The af-
fair was an exciting one for a short
time. but nobody was injured.

On the Map Again.

The old station OF Oreana, ON the
Southern Pacific line is~again on the
map. The old town was deserted
village for many years until the new
strike was made at Rochester. Now
the railroad compan~ has placed an
agent there, a restaurant and lodging
house has been opened and an auto
line established between the town and
Rochester. which is only nine miles
distant. If Rochester makes good
Oreana will be good town as Il IS
the natural and shortest outlet from
the camp to the railroad.
