OLD CANDALERIA
MINER IS CALLED
TO LAST REWARD
JACK PUGH succUMBs AFTER
AN ILLNESS LASTING FOR
SEVERAL MONTHS.

Jack Pugh, a pioneer of southern
Nevada, who had worked in every
camp in the south during the past
80 years, died in this city yesterday

Pugh was taken i'll with pneumonia
and although medical attention was
secured, the patient failed to re-
spond. The deceased was aged so
years and was a native of Racine,
Wisconsin.
Pugh came to the old time camp
Of Candelaria in 1880, according to
many of his old time friends now
living in Tonopah He worked n
various mines in the old silver camp.
Later he went to Virginia City and
worked in that camp for a number
of years. Always he drifted back to
southern Nevada and arrived in Ton
opah in about 1904 Frequently he
took trips and had only returned to
this camp less than year ago.
For time he lived at Round Noun
| tain.
Pugh was one of the real pioneers
of the south and his passing is
mourned by the small band whom
he had known since his advent in
this section thirty years ago. 1t is
understood that he is survived by
a few relatives. but their address
is not known The funeral will be
held from the undertaking establish
ment of Wonacott and Cavanaugh

COURT SUBMITS
RULING ON MOTION
OF INJUNCTION
SLIGHT MODIFICATION IS MADE
CONCERNING FUNDS ON DE-
POST IN BANK.

Judge Averill in the district court
last evening slightly modified the
Injunction in the case of S. III. Bra
dy versus the Manhattan Amalgamat-
ed Mining company. The modifi-
cation does not change the injunc-
tion regarding the working of the
property, but merely touches upon
funds upon deposit in the bank. A
sum amounting to $1,000 is in the
bank and the ruling OF the court
permits the defendant company to
withdraw $500 and the balance to be
secured after the filing of bond
for $1,000.
In accordance with the ruling the
plaintiff is also required to file a
bond for $4,000 pending the hearing
of the case.

FARM ON SCIENTIFIC BASIS
by Agricultural Industry In
the Last Century.

Despite the assertions that farming
has not advanced and kept pace with
the improvements in other lines Of
activity, the fact remains that In no
industry have there been such revolu-
tionary changes as in agriculture.
From a hit-or-miss, makeshift occu-
patton in which at best the farmer
made bare subsistence and hung on
until he could secure something bet
ter or else remained stolidly and in
differently plodding along the road his
father travelled, farming has become

ton of scientific principles
1t Is to the great farm sections Of
the northwest that we must look for
the best example of commerciaifxed
farming. Farming in the Dakotas,
Montana and Idaho is being conduct
ed ON large commercial scale and 1t
fs not uncommon to see farm of a
thousand acres being plowed and
