WOULD CONSUME ALL HAY HERE
Churchill Creamery Plans Now Be-
ing Ma.ured VIII Provide For
Modern Butter Plant.

George Wingfield left Monday
afternoon for his home in Reno
after attending the Get Together
meeting Saturday and spending Sun
day and Monday looking over his
business interests here. In state
ment to the Standards editor Mr..
Wingfield stated that the Churchill
creamery company would in all
probability have new and modern
creamery and cold storage plant
under course of construction this
fall. Already, he said, the business
enjoyed by the creamery has out
grown the present creamery quart
ers. and the immediate future will
witness many changes for the
better in the project dairying in
dustry.
Butter and butter fat, prices of
which run evenly, are now "a cents
per pound, the figure being that
paid the cream producer and by the
retailer of the creamery product. The
entrance duty free of kangaroo but
ter may have, in Mr. Wingfield's
opinion, tendency to bear the
market down. The Fallon cream
cry butter. Mr.. Wingfeld said, is en-
joying high degree of popularity
and that no difficulty is being exper-
fenced in fully marketing the cream
cry output, nor will there be any in
the future from present indications.
Mr.. Wingfield is strongly of the
opinion that cattle must be brought
here to eat up the surplus hay. He
himself has brought in 700 head of
range cattle lately for the grazing
areas under his control in the Car
son lake vicinity.

'LAHONTAN LAKE MINERALIzED
Recent Scientific Investigations De-
termine Interesting Facts Re-
garding Ancient Lake.

History as compiled by the United
States government back in the early
SOS regarding the tufa deposits at
Lake Lahontan, is wrong, according
to Prof. ]. c. Jones, head of the de-
partment of geology in the Mackay
school of mines. In an address de-
livered yesterday afternoon before
the Science club at the university,
Prof. Jones discussed the origin of
the tufas of Lahontan lake and their
bearing on it's history with special
reference to the possibility of find-
ing potash deposits in the solutions.
Prof. Jones has been carrying out
his investigations In cooperation
with the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, D. c., and has made a
thorough study of the tufa deposits
in the Salton sink and the old Lake
Lahontan basin. The Investigations
! have been primarily for the search
of potash deposits.
"The tufas Of travertine found
around the boarders of Pyramid
lake were deposited by the ancient
Lake Lahontan which formerly oc-
cupied the same basin," said Prof.
Jones. "A former study by Russell
showed that there were three kinds
of the tufa known as the lithoid,
dendritic and thinolite. Russell
supposed them to have been deposit
ed from the saturation of the water
with lime carbonate and supposed
the different kinds were due to
changes in the composition of the
waters. He therefore thought that
Lake Lahontan had dried up COM
pletely at least twice. Evidently
the potash salts that must have been
in solution at the same time must
have been deposited somewhere in
the basin. Following this theory
explorations have been made with
no definite results to the present
The work done by Prof. Jones
goes to show that the lithoid and
dendritic tufas were deposited thro-
ugh the action of the vegetation and
" not represent a concentrated peril
cd of the lake. He further con-
cludes that Pyramid lake is the rem
nant of Lahontan and that the later
has never completely dried up. Con-
sequently the major part of the pot
ash is still In solution in the present
lake which contains about fve mil
lion tons of potassium chloride. He
has found, however, some indication
of much earlier lake that has ap-
parently been completely dessicated
and which probably did deposit a
body Of potash somewhere in its
basin. This Is completely concealed
by the wash from the hills and other
sediment deposited in the basin and
deep drilling will be necessary to
disclose its present location.-Thurs-
days Reno Journal.
