POTATO INDUSTRY THREAT
ENED BY NEW PEST.
The Potato Moth Now Said to be
Dangerous to Crops.

California and Texas are blarled by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, according to dispatch sent
from Washington, for the distribution
OF pest that threatens every table
in the land. This pest is the potato
moth The moth is working havoc
with the potato crop in numerous
parts of the country and its ravages
theraten to prevent the planting OF
vegetables in many places. Early po-
tatoes of California and Texas are
said to have spread the pest.
The pest is well-established in
southern California, particularly i'll
Los Angeles and Ventura counties. 1t
has been reported also from Mon
terey, Alameda and San Joaquin
counties. 1t has been reported also
from Sacramento county
The tuber moth works on the ma
tured potato. and therefore, as a rule,
the potato is in no danger until after
it is dug. AS soon as the potatoes are
dug they should be placed in bags and
protected. The moth develops in the
potato and makes channels all through
it before emerging in the winged form.
The States of Washington and Oregon
have refused some California potatoes
because of the moth and Nevada
ought to do the same.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT TIL
MCCONNELL MINE.
Charles Maher, Miner, Blasted in
Tunnel No. l.

On Monday morning of this week
Charles Maher, miner, received in
juries by the explosion of powder in
the Mcconnell mine. which caused his
death Wednesday morning. Maher
and his partner, Dan Lahoney, were
running a machine in a drift off of tun-
mel No in the mine. Sunday even
ing when they fired their round of
holes they noticed that two holes
missed. Monday morning when they
went on shift they found that the two
holes that had missed were the lift
ers,' and they showed back the muck
and put a primer and fuse on both
holes. After splitting the fuse they
went outhide of the tunnel until the
two shots went off The two shots
went off. far enough apart so that
there was no question about both
holes going off. They waited about
ten minutes to let the smoke out and
then went into the drift and began to
muck back preparatory to setting UP
the machine again. Maher took
shovel and was working close to the
face while Lahoney was handling
pick close to him. In a moment or
two there was an explosion which
touch Lahoney, who was standing less
than four feet from Maher. Help was
summoned and Maher was taken out
Immediately and rushed to the hos
pital at Mason, where he was given
every attention He had received
broken jaw, one eye was completely
blown out and the other one injured,
and he had deep cash on the side OF
his head. He was also suffering from
conclusion of the brain. Just what
caused the explosion is not known
1t was not heavy one, and the sup
position is that there was a piece OF
powder in the muck and that the
shovel used by Maher struck it and
caused the explosion. Maher fingered

QUESTION AS TO STATES
RIGHT OF WATER.
Case in Colorado Courts to Decide
Who Controls Sites.

The right of the government to con-
troll power sites and water rights, and
force individuals and corporations to
bow to its will in the matter of TAX
ing out permits and paying fees for
the use of government lands, will be
fought out in the case which began
in the United States District Court in
Denver on Thursday of this week.
The government is trying to force the
Central Colorado Power Company to
take out permits from the forestry SER
vice before it uses the forest lands.
1t is alleged that Colorado is rapidly
drifting into "the arms of the power
octopus" and that the State, through
ITS law officers, is unwittingly aiding
and abetting the great eastern power
concerns by intervening in the case
and asking to be heard against the
government.
The entire issue of the government
and States rights will be involved be-
fore the case is finished and if the gov
ernment is successful it is understood
that similar court proceedings will be
Immediately instituted in half dozen
other Western States, including Ne
vada The government contends that
it is merely acting as protector of
the State and the individuals and that
it is trying to prevent monopoly OF
natural resources from which the
State of Colorado should receive a
huge annual income. The State has
come into the case. it is alleged.
through the influence of politicians
who are favorable to the monopolist
power concerns.

The Copper Situation-Thompson,

The Copper Situation-Thompson,
Towle 4 Company estimate that the
1913 copper production will not be ,
per cent in excess of the TolZ output,
and it is asserted that when it is con :
sidered as an increase in production OF
7 per cent is needed ,tosprovides tor
normal consumption it will be noted
production is not keeping pace with
consumption and that, from stat1s-
tical standpoint copper occupies an
especially strong position.
The continuous performance in
Mexico, the Michigan strike, the clos
ing of mines in Australia and the linn
tied worlds stocks certainly do not
point to such an abundance OF the
metal that the market is to become
demoralized thereby.
A message over the Pollock wires
on Wednesday was to the effect that
not since the boom days OF l9Ol have
there been such extraordinary sales OF
copper as have been contracted dur
ing the past three weeks. 1t IS esti-
mated on good authority that during
the past three weeks ZOO,OOO.OW
pounds of the metal have been dis
nosed OF at prices ranging from ~ 10
l5H cents pound, and once the con.
sumner attempts the accumulation OF
large additional stocks there Will be
trouble in keeping the market within
anything like average limits.
Smith Valley Mines-The property
of this company is certainly showing
some class these days. AS develop
ment advances on the l6O-tOot level
it shows the ore to be OF much bet
ter value than it is on the lOO-foot
level. The south drift on the loO-toot
level is in the ore for distance OF
twelve efet and the ore carries excep-
tionally good gold values. While the
ore OH the l00-foot level carries val
ues averaging $l2 in gold, the ore on
the l6O-foot level carries an average
value in gold of $40 per ton. The west
cross-cut has full breast of ore, the
core of which averages $l03 in gold
per ton. In the level above 1t aver
aged 800 All this seems to indicate
that the values increase with depth.
How wide or long the chutes of ore
are has not vet been determined. but
the development is being pushed as
rapidly as the force of miners can do 1t
We understand that the financing for
the big plant of machintry and further
development is about consummated.
The property has indications of max
ing a big mine and a source of rev
enue for the lucky holders of stock in

BOXING MATCH NOT VERY
WELL PATRONIZED.
The Bartlett-Leahy, Bout Not as
Scientific as Anticipated.

The rainy weather of last Saturday
prevented many people from attend
ing, the Bartlett Leahy lO-round box
ingEcontest at the Owl Hall. There
was, however, fair attendance OF
Yerington and Mason Valley people
andA quite a crowd from Thompson,
Leahvss home The affair was sched-
uled to begin at 8 o'clock, but it was
9 before the preliminary was pulled
off. This preliminary was between
"Dutch" Voight, of Thompson, and J.
B. King, of Milwaukee, and Voight
knocked his man out in the first
round. King did the best, he could
under the circumstances. but was in
no condition to fight Voightis'a fast

hands and knees. The referee was in
somewhat of hurry with his count
and King took his corner with the in
tention of going. another round. 1t
is just as well that he didn't Tor he
would have gone out then for sure
The main event took place then, be-
tween Eddie Bartlett. of San Fran
cisco and George Leahy, of Thomp-
son. Jim Kelley. of Thompson. acted
as referee and F. Harris was in Bart
Its corner and Billy Eaton and Flynn
in Leahy's corner. Both men seemed
to be in pretty good condition and
they went at it.
Bartlett seemed the stronger of the
two in the first and second rounds and
these rounds demonstrated the fact
that the ring was about the bummest
ever built for such an occasion. The
ropes were very loose and later on one
of the posts came down entirely.
The referee said it was a shame to
allow any match to take place in such
a ring The crowd wanted the
sport(?) to go on, however, and it did.
Throughout the exhibition Bartlett
did most of the fighting, but ip the
third round it was noticeable that his
wind was going. In the clinches both
men, went UP against the ropes and
Bartlett hurt his back in one of these
falls, and in another his head struck
a chair or bench and gave him a bad
eye With all this bad luck his trainer
and second. Harris, was SO drunk he
could hardly stand up. After the
rth round it was plain that Leahy
Id secure the decision and it was
.-.,,ected to come in the fifth. Bart
lett stuck until the eighth round, how
ever. when he received some hard pun
ishment and went down for the count.
:, Bartlett is the more scientific boxer,
but Leahv had the punch and covered
1l,p unit: he had his man worn out.
Kelly made good referee. but prob
ably did not see some of the things
that the audience saw. The next day
Bartlett posted $500 that he could beat
I.eahy in areturn match. The money
was not covered. Some few hundred
dollars changed hands on the matck
hut the receipts of the evening after
all expenses were paid left very
small sum for the boxers.
While King. one of the preliminary
boxers. lost the decision and Voight
took the $25 for this event, King Sc
cured a lob at the smelter, which will
bring him in more money than will the
fight game.
