RUN FACTORY AGAIN IN 1914
Contracts are Being Prepared for
the Sanction of the Eastern In
tercsts, for 1914 Crop.

That Fallon will continue to profit
from the further operation of the
great Nevada Sugar Company plant
was made manifest last week, when
upon petition of the creditors of the
enterprise, the district court OF
Washoe county caused to be issued
legal mandate that is really, when
signed by the bond and mortgage
investors of the east, writ empow-
ering Mr.. |. II. Kent, receiver, to
contract with the farmers of this
and other Nevada valleys for the
raising of beets during the season
of 1914.
The court instrument has been re-
produced and the printed copies to
the number of about 25 have been
forwarded by Mr.. Kent to Bay City
and Detroit parties, holding inter
ests in the local factory, for their
signature, when its provisions will
be valid and in full force and effect.
Among the provisions the one nat
urally most interesting to the farm
ers has to do with the prices that
will govern next year for beets at
the factory. The basic rate will be
So per ton for beets going 10 per
cent sugar. For each additional l
per cent of sugar the farmers will
receive 10 cents per ton, and they
will be penalized in a like amount
for beets going less than Is per cent
the shortage to be computed only
when the sugar contents fall short
more than one half of one per cent.
A bonus is provided for those who
will be compelled to haul their beets
a distance more than four miles,
four miles hauling emitting the beet
grower to a bonus of so cents per
ton and each additional mile up to
IL miles 10 cents. The sugar COM
pany will contract for beets at dis
tance in sections served by railroads
and pay the rail charges.
All in all. the proposed 1914 con-
tracts will be more advantageous to
tue farmers than the one that gov
erned this season.

THE NEVADA WONDER NINE.

sures Much for the Lucky Stock
holders.

Late reports from the Nevada
Wonder are confirmatory of the
greatness of the mine On the 1000
foot level drifting to pick up the
downward extension to the ore shoot
opened on the upper levels, is in
progress and the face of this drift
is showing streaks of very excellent
ore. Drifting south from this lev
ell has also been started in order to
prospect the large extent of terri
tory which the company owns on
the continuation of the Nevada Won
der vein through the Hidden Treas
ure veins. The sinking of the
shaft to the 1300-foot level has also
been commenced and it is intended
to sink to this depth before cross
cutting to the vein.
The mill is under the charge of
e. E. Carpenter who expects to treat
an average of 142 tons of ore daily
during this month. The stock is
active upon the Philadelphia ex-
change and is quoted $1.45-$1.50.
Many mine improvements are be-
ing made and conditions point to not
only continued prosperity for the
Wonder mine, but to development
that will make it leading producer
of precious metal. Already, the
mine has contributed very substanti-
ally in mineral quote and it would
seem that the company's stockhold.

CONRAD-WEST.
Well Known Young People Form q
Life's Partnership.

w. e. Conrad and Miss Hazel
West, two of the enterprising young
folks of the Lone Tree colony near
Saltwater, were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony Monday after
noon at the home of the groom's,
which was recently constructed for
the future abiding place of the coup
le. Rev. J. M. Wilson, the NJ E.
pastor in Fallon, spoke the words
that united the futures of these two
sterling young people, those present
being the immediate friends and
relatives. Following the ceremony
a delightful wedding dinner was
served by Mrs. West, the brides
mother and the officiating minister
vouches for its excellence.
The bride in this instance is typ
ical Nevada young lady. Undaunted,
by hardships, she and her mother
about two years ago acquired farm
home in the Saltwater neighbor-
hood. Later she taught school In
saltwater district. Her sterling
qualities are known among a large
circle of friends. The fortunate
young man, whose name she will
bear, is among those in this project
who can count success as his por-
tion and roundly, as result of hard
work attending the development of
virgin farm unit, which is now a
developed tract and returns an an
nual incremet that fully warrants
this marital step.
The Standard joins numerous
friends in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Con-
rad the very best that life holds.

The communication is self-explan-
atory. II means simply that at any
time that the water users of this
or other projects acting in concert,
feel that 1t is incumbent upon them
to determine the cost of proposed
project extension, they may do so by
a competent engineer without the
service. or they may employ an ae-
eountant to determine the detail re-
lating to project expense.
In other words, the secretary of
the interior assumes that his subord-
mates have nothing to conceal and
that he will eountenance the most
rigid Investigations and encourage
the cooperation of the water users in
every manner.
