Cloudburst Injuries Roads.

After trying to rain hard all of Sat
urday last. Sunday and Monday. the, c
was light thunder shower here Ties
day afternoon. At the upper end Of
the valley the rain was quite heavy as
it was later on in the lower end. Dark
clouds lowered over the Pine Grove
hills all the afternoon and finally
worked along over the western edge
of the valley, From this point the wa
ter appeared to be coming down in
torrents all along TIE western slope,
and reports are that the road between
the Mcconnell mine and the railroad
is badly washed out The Bluestone
road was also badly damaged from
a flood of water coming down the can
yon. The storm semed to pass over
the northern end of the valley. to the
east, but no damage is rported from
that section up to date.

Cloudburst Hits Oil Tank.

Last Tuesday afternoon during the
clectrict storm that passed along the
mountains to the west of the valley,
cloudburst occurred near the head
of Mason Valley Canyon and the
water rushed down into the large fuel
oil tank of the Copper Belt railroad,
located at the foot of the canyon The
water rushing into the tank forced
the oil out and the company lost about
l4.500 gallons of oil This, with the
other damage done, has cost the Cop
per Belt Co. between 500 and $500
The oil flowed into the river and made
that stream look like a river of oil, and
the morning after the catastrophe the
farmers along the river below Yering
ton found their bitches full of oil
They imagined ''gusher" had broken
loose somewhere up in the valley, but
soon found out what the trouble was.
MANY fish in the river were killed and
the farmers had quite a time keeping
the oil from getting onto their crops
from the bitches.

Dense smoke was issuing from the
upper story of the Little Waldorf sa

water was then turned on from the
fire hydrant and the blaze was soon
out The fire originated in clothes
closet on the upper floor of the build
ing. 1t had not gained much head
way when discovered and stream
from the chemical would have put it
out with practically no loss. As it is
the entire damage, almost, is from
water. The building belongs to De-

his loss at about $50. with no insur-
ance. ]. j. Carberry. proprietor of

it is not known what his loss will be-

RESUME OF MINING OPERATIONS

Cowles. President of the Burlington
Nevada Co.. is in the district on a
visit of inspection. He is not only
looking over the company's property
but is taking in the whole district.
The Burlington Nevada Companys
ground is located in Mason Pass and
was formerly known locally, as the
Blaine property. Development of the
property is now in charge of Dan Nc
Leod. Quite an amount of ore has
been mined and shipped. 1t is ex-
pected that plans for future develop
ment will soon be lined up and that
an increased force of men will be put
to work. The property is close to the
Nevada Copper Belt railroad SO the
cost of operating, shipping, etc, can
be reduced to very low figure.
Nevada d Douglas-George Graham
Rice. the former Nevada wildcatter,
now editor of the Mining Age, pub
lished in New York. is out with his
hammer for the Nevada-Douglas He
claims to have information that the
Nevada Douglas is to be merged, or
rather absorbed by the Mason Valley.
The Nevada Douglas Co. is going
right along with its plans for leach
ing plant, and continus to send its
contract amount of ore to the smelter.
The mine never looked better as far
as ore production and values are con-
cerned Nobody in this section pays
any attention to what Rice says about
ANYTHING.
Smith Valley Mines-Word receiv-
ed from the Smith Valley Mines Co.
is to the effect that they cut the ore
in both the west cross-cut and the
souh drift How big it is has not vet
been determined, but they have full
breast of it in the south drift This
will give them 200 feet of backs The
development, so far, is showing this
estate to be large and valuable one.
President Adams is expected here on
any train now to inspect the work so
/ far done on the property and to con
fer with Superintendent Parr regard
ing future development and arrang
ing for the shipping of ore.

Copper Situation-During the first
half of 1913 the American surplus of
copper was reduced 52,407 600 pounds
IA net decrease of 36.550000 pounds.
The European stock of copper de-
creased 34640,000 pounds. The
worlds stock of copper has decreased
in the last l8 months 70,ol4,000 pounds
thus showing that the worlds con-
sumption for the past l8 months has
been well ahead of the production.
For the first half of 1913 stocks of
metal have decreased 10 per cent. The
average price for the first half of this
year has been 1925 cents per pound
the second best year for the price OF
the metal. 1907 being the best Europe
is now buying the metal on a very
large scale. AS all of the Michigan
copper properties are now shut down,
owing to the demands made by the
Western Federation. ii is but reason
able to suppose that the stock of red
metal will decrease more rapidly in
the next few weeks than it has ever
done.
A Calumet Mich, dispatch of the
23d ins. states that twenty copper
mines in that and neighboring coun
ties were closed this morning because
OF strike called by the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. Only onefourth of
the miners belong to the union, but
it has been found impossible to work
the properties with those men out.
The men demand recognition of the
Western Federation of Miners, an
eight-honr day. abolition of the one
nan drill and better working condi-
tons
The mining companies seem deter
mined not TO treat with the Fedora
tion and are prepared for a long period
of dleness. The recognition of the
union is the principal issue. The mines
hut down are: The Calumet and

Thompson Team Champions.

Last Sunday the Thompson base
ball nine took the Tonopah nine into
camp by a score of 10 to ?. This
makes the Thompson nine the cham
pion of the State, or at least they are

walloped everything that has come
along this season, and so far. we be
lieve, have not lost a game. They
were to have played Reno last Sunday
but the Reno manager called the game
off for some reason and the Tonopah

ious to meet any nine i'll the State

COUNTY FAIR ORGANIZATION.
Meeting Thursday Night to Organize
Fair and Track Association.

A meeting of citizens was called on
Thursday night of this week for the
purpose of getting the Fair and Race
track business in shape SO that ta1r
and track meet can be held here this
fall The meeting was not very large
ly attended but the boosters who do
things were there, and it is probably
better that they were not hampered
with the doubtful Thomases' and
apathetic individuals.
B. l.. Simmons called the meeting
to order and stated the object of the
meeting and O. Fl. Some was then
selected as Chairman. f. R. Lam as
Secretary and j. c. Kaufman Treas
urere. A committee of three was then
appointed to arrange for Incorporating
and three trustees were selected, being
J. G. Kaufman. F. S. Lamberson and
c. c. Young The incorporation is to
be perfected at once and work begun
on the track and grounds. AS before
stated the ground selected is fronting
on Bridge street, just outside of the
city limits, and has been put in, mainly
by c. c. Young for stock considera-
ton in the incorporation 1t is spfen-

ton hustling to get things ready for
a meet this fall. but they think they
can do it. Everybody in the county
who has anything fine in the agricul
tural or livestock line should begin
now to prepare for the exhibit.
1t is understood that over $4,000
has been subscribed in money, land
and labor for this enterprise: also that
the Association will be entitled to $500
from the State to be used for pre-
miums. This is good starter and will
go long way toward building the

livestock fencing etc.
