FAILS ON THREE PER CENTUM
The Canadian Government Puts the
Lid ON the National Mercantile
Co., of Vancouver, Il. G.

The National Mercantile CO., of
Vancouver. B. c., the concern that
advertised three per cent money and
was represented in Nevada by Geo.
w. Brown, former project en-
ploye, is out of business, according
to an announcement made under
date of the 8th of this month. sew
eral of which have been mailed to
local patrons of the defunct COM
pany. The explanation offered cor
relates around an investigation
made recently by the Canadian gov
ernment. which it is alleged stopped
the loan" companys operation on
the ground that it was conducting a
lottery. The company makes the
further cheerful announcement that
its business is to be wound up like
unto a small ball of yarn, though
placation is sought by the statement
that plan is being considered for
fully as possible" the interests of
those who have coughed up real
money to the get rich-quick scheme.
There are about 25 local people
affected by this failure, including a
number of the business men of Fal-
Ion. Altogether the National Mer-
camille company probably took in
the neighborhood of $1,000 from
Churchill county residents, in return
for which it loaned to two parties,
both of whom held agents commits
sions. Inasmuch as the loans run
over a period of IL years, and the
reeeivership will be compelled to be
of the same life in order to conclude
the affairs of the company, it is
thought that resulting expenses will
probably absorb the assets whatever
they are and that the policy holders
will get next to nothing for their in
vestments.

NEVADA WONDERS SHOWING
Report Submitted BY the Nevada
Wonder Company 4 Highly
Gratifying One.

| The Nevada Wonder Mining com.
pany, operating in the Wonder dis
triot, has Just issued to the stock
holders it's eighth annual report
| covering the operations for the
fiscal year ending September 20
| last.
The mine produced during the
year a total Of 47,570 tons of ore of
an average value of 1852 per ton,
an increase of SO cents per ton in
value. The main shaft was sunk
three compartments wide from a
depth OF l,0335 feet to a depth of
l242 feet The Hidden Treasure
shaft was sunk two full compart-
ments wide from a depth of 1s2 feet
10 a depth of 90S feet and enlarged
to two full sized compartments
from the depth of 1S2 feet to the
surface The Wonder Extension
shaft was sunk from a depth of
e1l.5 feet
As a result of the development
work of the past year the Extension
ore shoot was opened up on claim
Last Chance No. /. This ore shoot
does not outcrop at the surface and
vas first found on the 500 level,
where II showed length of 260
feet. The drift on the 900 level
was driven through this territory,
and showed ore extending 40 feet.
4 cross-cut was run from the Wond-
er Extension shaft on the s00-foot
level and the south drift from the
crosseut showed 35 feet of ore as
saying around $40 for a width of
three feet. The 500 north drift also
showed some values. and is now fol-
lowing a strong vein of low grade
ores. The 1000 foot drift from tic
Nevada Wonder shaft has now en-
tered the ore shoot and ore of mill
ing grade Is being mined This ore
shoot has nov been opened on the
800. 500, 500 and i000-foot levels.
Plans for development during the
coming year include sinking a
winze on the vein from the 1900 TO
the 1900 level. and both the Ne
vada Wonder ore shoot and the
Wonder Extension ore shoot will be
explored from this winze.
The combined mining and milling
costs for the past year were SS.9.4
per ton, as against s7.35 per ton
the previous year The increased
operating costs for the year are ac-
counted for by the greater amount
of development work done and the
larger distance through which the
broken rock had 10 be trammed.
The profit per ton for the past year
was $3.50, as against s6.35 the
previous year.

MUCH TO THE POINT.
The Washoe County Grand Jury
Seeks To Improve Morals of
University Town.

A material reduction in the num-
ber of saloons in Reno, with an in
crease of the saloon license fee to
quarter, has been recon-
mended in the report of the Washoe
county gand jury. There are now
SO saloon licenses. An ordinance
placing a limit of so was passed In
1912. but only four licenses have
been cancelled since that time,
II was recommended that the
county commissioner cancel the
liouor licenses of road houses near
Reno. The practice of supplying
liquors TO children on orders from
their parents was condemned and
and the enforcement OF the curfew
ordinance was urged.
The report of the grand jury said
that the Jury had received sworn
sworn testimony that minors had
heen permitted to enter cafes and
saloons and be served with intoxi,
eating liquors and that minors mao
freouented pool rooms and mao
gambled in pool rooms with tull
knowledge of the proprietors In
this connection, the grand jury
recommended that the pool room OF
Colbarndt and Reilley be immediate'
ly closed by the reyoking of the IL
cense.

FUTURE PROJECT EXTENSION
Additional Lands May BE Thrown
Open During the Season of
1915.

Now that work at Lahontan 10
practically completed, all remaining
to be done being certain finishing
touches to the top of the dam and
the general dismantling process Of
the camp fixtures, attention is being
centered ON the project work of the
future. Naturally with needed wat
er supplies determined for this part
of the project and the Lake Tahoe
and Truckee river adjudication mat
ters up for final adjustment. the
future extensions, under contempla-
tion for long time, are being con-
sidered. With vast bodies of excel
lent land in the Pyramid lake.
Churchill valley, Carson lake and
Lahontan bench units available for
development work, there can not be
said to be any dearth of new lands
for project extension work.
The first extension to receive the
governments attention will in all
likelihood be the Lahontan bench
unit comprising about 1000 acres
of land west of Fallon, to which
town it is naturally tributary, where
water is all that is needed to make
the district one greatly to be desired
by any serious minded homebuilder.
There one finds a uniform slope for
drainage and smoothness of sur
face that presage economical culti-
walton. The soil is of the same ma
ture as that of the Fernley district
and transportation facilities are
near at hand via the north to south
line of railroad nearby.
With John F. Truesdell and his
assistants in the governments legal
department busily engaged in fore
ing the Tahoe and Truckee water
adjudication matters to a close, the
hope is held out that 1915 may wit
ness the throwing open to settle
ment of this fertile area, which will
be irrigated with Truckee water con-
Quoted underneath the Carson river
bed by means of a siphon, which
was installed recently as the Lahon-
tan dam was being constructed.

THE hEWLANDS BILL FAVORED
Its General Plan Meets With the
Endorsement of the President
May Pass Congress Soon.

Washington dispatch under q
December 9th dateline relates that
President Wilson has told Senator
Newlands that he heartily approved
many features of his plan for the
placing in one general scheme
of river and harbor improvements
making it a broad policy, such as
is contemplated by Mr.. Newlands'
rivers and harbors bill. This plan,
as was announced in the Democratic
papers of Nevada during pre-elec-
tion times, contemplates a commits
sion to coordinate the projects
and to supervise the expenditure of
$50, 100000 year for a period of
10 years in improving the various
river systems from their sources to
their outlets.
Not only is navigation under i'm
proved conditions and the conserva-
tion OF food waters sought, but the
irrigation of arid lands Is also an
object that would be served by the
Newlands bill, which is generally
conceded to be one of the great con-
structiye proposals of the United
States lawmaking body. While
the president has not committed
himself on the appropriation fea-
lures of the bill, he has indorsed
the plan to coordinate the projects
into broad national scheme, such
as is contemplated by Mr.. New
lands.
Last Thursdays Chronicle says
that renewed efforts are to be made
by the United States geological sur
yey to find potash in the Nevada
desert since the European war has
prevented its importation from
Germany. The scarcity of potash
in this country has had such an eff
feet upon the manufacture of po-
tassium cyanide it is reported that
some of the mines of the west are
facing a shutdown. They cannot
secure sufficient quantities of that
ore reducing chemical at prices en-
abling them to regain gold from the
liquid at a profit.
The drilling for potash is to be
done in the Black Rock desert H.
Gale, member of the survey, is to
superintend the work. He will be
assisted by Prof. C. J. Jones of the
geological department of the Mack
ay school of mines. He has been
working on the problem of the age
of ancient lake Lahontan. which is
said to be closely connected with
the potash search problem, as from
1t may be determined whether large
or small deposits of the valuable
salt might be found
The potash salt the government
hopes to find in the Black Rock
desert is chloride of potassium, or
kainit. 1t is used as a fertilizer
In manufacturing cyanide of potash
and is commercially valuable in
other ways.
1t is given out that If the govern
ment finds potash in the Nevada
desert it will be mined extensively
to relieve the existing shortage in
this country.

Death of Former susanville Lady,

Mrs. Mary Summers, known to all
the older residents of this valley,
having lived here from early girl
hood until some ten or twelve years
ago, died at her home in Sacramento
December /, at the age of SO years.
The Advocate has been unable to
get exact data concerning her life
here further than that given. Mrs.
Summers was the mother of large
family, industrious, capable and in
telligent. Her husband died at
Standish some three months ago.
The remains of the deceased lady
were brought to Standish, where
two of her daughters, Mrs. Fred
Mattison and Mrs. Geo. Woodstock
reside, from which place they were
taken to the cemetery for burial
Thursday, December 3.
The funeral was large one, and
many old-time friends, some OF
whom had known her in the early
years of her life, were there to pay
their last tribute of respect to a very
worthy woman.-Susanville Advo-
cate.

The Churchill Co. Creamery re-
ceived 1891 pounds of butter fat
from 125 patrons during the month
of November. The average price per
pound of butter fat for the month
was 32c making a total of s4,477
paid to the patrons in November. In
addition to the patrons of the
Churchill Creamery, there are six
dairymen shipping cream out of the
project.
Within the past two weeks there
has been imported into the valley
26 high grade Holstein cows and
