LOW RATES
GRANTED
BY s. P.
Local Rates to Come
on July 1st

A sweeping reduction on freight
rates throughout Nevada on the
the Southern Pacific is to go into
effect on the First of July. accord
ing to the statements given it. The
new rates are for local freights
through the state and effect practic-
ally everything that is hauled over
the railroad. This matter was taken
up some time ago by the Lovelock,
Reno and other merchants. The
Railroad Commission ordered a gen
eral reduction, which was taken to
the Federal Court for a decision,
Without awaiting the decision OF
Judge harrington, the railroad. so it
is said. will place the rates in force
within a short time, giving immedi-
ate relief to the merchants through
out the state.
This granting of a lower freight
rate in the state will effect practic-
ally every branch line of the South
ern Pacific and will make it possible
to ship goods that otherwise were
almost prohibtive. The. following
is given in the Gazette as an example
of what may be figured on in one or
two instances: The rate from Love
lock to Reno will be as follows:
New Rate
Old Rates per 100 lbs.
per 100 lbs. in effect July
First class. S5H cents75 cents
Second class, 75A cents.-...4S cents
Third class, 6212 cents42 cents
Fourth class, 53H cents37 cents
Fifth class. 81 cents.34 cents
The order of the commission
makes similar reductions to other
points as far distant as Tonapah,
Goldfleld and Golconda. 1t is also
said that local freight rate out of
Elko. Winnemucca and Wells to
points within Nevada are to be low
cred decisively July l.
The new arrangement will un-
doubtly prove to be OF the greatest
benefit not only to Reno but to the
entire state. 1t is looked upon by
those who have been advised Of the
situation as an indication of better
times for Reno, Elko, Winnemucca
and, i'll fact the entire state To
wholesalers it means the opportunity
of widely increasing both the terri
tory covered and the classes of goods
which can be handled pro6tably in
competition with jobbers from out
side cities.

A PLACER
STRIKE
REPORTED.
Not Mica But the Real
Color Located

A short time ago the Appeal pub
llshed a report concerning the dis
covery of placer gold in the heart
of Carson Valley. At first this was
taken as a joke, but the last issue
OF the Gardnerville Record Courier
has the following concerning the
find
1t is said that every man knows
his own business better than his
critics and this saying is applicable
to VIM. Scheele in the gold strike
that has been made on his ranch
near Fairview. Mr.. Scheele is keep
ing his own council and very meager
details REGARDING values are obtain
able
Nearly all of the Sheele ranch as
well as the adjoining ranch of R.
Thran has been staked as placer
ground
Some time ago while Mr.. Scheele
was digging post hole he discover
ed gold in the black sand that is to
be found in that locality. Assays
were made and while the results
are not known, Judging from the
work now being carried on, they
must have been very encouraging.
An electric power line $500 feet
i'll length has been run to the find
from the Fay line. A pump has
been installed to keep the water out
of the shaft and the intentions are
to go down to bed rock
The finding OF placer gold in the
very heart of this valley has created
no little excitement and development
work will be watched with keen
interest
At present there is wide differ
ence of opinion as regards to the
find and while some see visions
of immense gold dredgers digging
up the fertile fields of Carson Valley
and leaving barren waste in their
wake. others are of the opinion that
he is wise farmer who INDUCES
not in mining ventures. These
prophesies are made without the
least knowledge Of what has been
found by Mr.. Scheele. 1t is hoped
however, that this find will prove to
be richer than Weaver Creek ever
was.

NINE
DISCOVERED
IN NEVADA
First Located by Old
Carson Resident

The Tonopah Bonanza states that
the lost cinnebar mine, which was
originally found by the late Judge
Hawthorne. has been rcdiscovered
by Tom Pepper. and that the entire
section has been Staked. a rush fol-
lowing the discovery.
The finding Of this property inter
ests number OF Carsonites. On
several occasions parties in this city
staked Judge Hawthorne that he
might make search for the lost mine
lie held samples Of the cinnebar
for many years. and each season.
after the first find he made return
trips. A. 5. Bryant OF this city was
the last man to make a trip with the
Judge in the hopes OF relocating the
ground.
The first find was made in the
early 70's. Judge Hawthorne brought
in samples, but as he had been lost
on the desert and became confused
in his bearings. the ground was never
relocated by him. The find is not
lar from Nina and close to other
work in this section. Just how it
could escape all these years is part
Of the mystery that surrounds all
mining discoveries.
During the trips OF Judge Haw-
thorne he prospected where Gold
field is now located. At one time
he brought in specimens rich in gold
and Of the same character that was
later found at the Sandstorm and
Kendall properties. Undoubtedly
the old gentleman found this de
post. but on account of lack OF
water and funds could never relo-
cate the find, The specimens found
after his death verified the belief
that he was on the famous ground
that now i, known as Goldiield.
Tom Pepper, who has made the
find. is one Of the best known min
ing men OF the south and is also well
known in this city. where he has
plenty Of friends who hope the find
10 just as big as the southern paper
leads the people to believe.

BIC CROP
IS GUT
ON FARMS
Dry Farmers Doing
Well This Year

Some excellent crops of hay are
being cut in this valley at the pres
ent time. At the Winnie farm one
OF the best stands of alfalfa in the
county is to be found. As this is
a dry farm, with no water right,
and dry season, the work in this
particular is most notable.
At the Rafetto farm north OF town
there is stand of rye almost ready
to cut that has been rasied without
irrigation. 1t is sight worth going
t. see
The Raycraft farm is covered with
many acres of excellent alfalfa and
rye. both being raised without rri-
CATION, AS has been stated before
this section was the first to adopt
dry farming methods and make it a
success. AS there are several thous-
and acres of land in this county that
would do as the above. it seems that
an opportunity is being overlooked
by the owners. Rye. when cut at
the right time makes excellent stock
tced. and i'll nearly every case if al
lowed to go to seed will bring
hgh price in the market. Rye seed
sold this spring for 3 cents per
pound
a few fields of wheat reared with
out irrigation are showing up well.
With one more rain the dry farmers
III this county will cut one of the
heaviest crops in the valley.
Take ride about this valley and
a number of fine fields OF grain will
be seen that have added to the value
of this section as an agriculture CEN
ter. All OF the irrigated fields with
III the county are bearing a heavy
crop. and in each instance the grain
and alfalfa Is nearly three weeks
ahead OF time in ripening. owing to
the early rains and warm spring.

evening when they came In contact

will be able to leave his bed tomor-

Rosa Easter, wife of the negro who
was electrocuted, was badly burned
about the left hand and right thigh,
but will recover.
Easter and his wife were the first
to strike the wire. They had been
visiting colored people on the campus
and were on the way to their home
about a half mile southeast of the
dairy barn. In front of the residence
of James Riggs. employe of the col
lege and located in that section OF the
campus set aside for the farm hands.
two lines of the Bryan Telephone
Company follow the public road. For
sorne time these lines have been down
low and one of them was tied to the
barbed wire fence by small rope and
a piece of insulated wire. The wires
were just about the right distance
from the ground to strike the negro
man Iull III the race. he stTuch IL
first and was thrown violently to the
ground. The swapping of the current
as the wire burned its way into the
negro mans flesh warned the woman
and instinctively she threw up her
hands to protect herself 1t was this
action that resulted in her injury. Her
left hand struck the wire and she fell,
her right thigh falling across the wire.
