SOW Pine SEED
IN TAHOE FOREST

Pine seed sown directly in the spots
where the trees are to grow is yield
ing good results in young trees on the
Tahoe national forest in western Cal
ifornia.
This is in marked contrast to the
usual results in such cases, because
squirrels, mice and birds will eat the
seeds where they are planted without
protection, and even when these enc
mics allow the seed to germinate,
the drying out of the soil in drouth
periods is usually too much for the
tiny seedlings during their first sea-
son.
Because of these vicissitudes forest
ers usually find it advantageous to
grow the seedlings in nursery beds,
where seeds and plants can be pro-
tected by wire screens and shade
frames, and where water can be ap-
piled when needed. Usually, too, the
seedlings are transplanted once or
twice before they are set out in their
final situation, the transplanting pro-
cess serving to develop stocky plants
with compact sturdy roots. While
the nursery bed and transplant process
involves more work, it is said to be
generally cheaper in proportion to re-
suits accomplished, particularly when
the cost of seed is taken into consider
alton.
The California experiment, which
indicates the possibility of direct seed
ing of certain species in some locali-
ties, was conducted on an area of 90
acres, sown in the fall of 1910 to JEFF
frey pine. A large number of seed
lings have become thoroughly estab-
lished and have made thrifty growth
The plantation is at an altitude of g.
900 feet, where there is more moisture
than at lower elevations.
When the seeds were planted they
were coated with red lead to discour-
age mice and other rodents, but so far
as the forest officers could find out the
lead coating had no such effect; not
enough of the seed was eaten, how
ever, to destroy the value of the
planting.

CHARLESTON ma
TIONAL'SPROCRESS

J. P. Clough, president of the
Charleston National Mining company.
who recently made a thorough inspec-
tion of the properties, has returned to
Seattle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. s. Dearborn, re-
speetively general manager and secre-
tary.treasurer of the Charleston Ma
tional Mining company, who had been
in town over Sunday, returned to camp
this afternoon.
Manager Dearborn reports that his
company has leased the Wheeler
White Rock tunnel, which will be driv-
en- to the property of the Charleston
National, distance of 255 feet, when
ores will be brought out through the
tunnel.
At present the company is sinking a
shaft, which is now down 295 feet, and
is working three shifts, which sink
about six feet every "a hours. At the
300 level a crosscut will be run to the
vein, which will be followed on an in
cline 300 feet to the mouth of the
Wheeler tunnel. This work is under
the immediate supervision of Supt.
George Stowe.
The Charleston National is one of
the best equipped mines on the coast
and has gone to work on an extensive
as well as scientific scale. As will
be remembered, ]. p. Clough, of Seat
tie, was here for several weeks during
the spring, when he purchased large
amount of frst-elass mining maehin-
cry. The 60-horsepower Fairbanks
Morse gasoline engine was bought
from the Golden Eagle people, and in
addition a 30-horsepower hoist, 12x14,
Chicago Pneumatic Tool company air
compressor, 25s Sullivan drilling ma
chine, with all accessories, have been
installed and are now being worked
on the property.
Manager Dearborn has recently pur-
chased a complete electric lighting
plant, which will be installed during
the present month.
The company owns an auto truck,
which is constantly on the road be-
tween Winnemucca and National. In
addition it employs teams when neces-
sary.
Two carloads of lumber are now at
the railroad waiting transportation to
the mine, and two carloads of distil-
late have been ordered from Richmond
which are expected to arrive within
the next day or two.
The property of the Charleston Ma
tional is the extension of the ground
of the National Mines company, and is
traversed by the famous ledge from
which millions have been extracted in
high grade which runs around $50 a
pound. Thus far the company has
made no effort to extract ores, al
though some has been taken out
in the sinking of shafts and driving
of tunnels. However, as soon as the
shaft has been coupled up with the
Wheeler tunnel attention will be gievn
to taking out the high grade.
