Nevada Sugar Industry

Better Farming, published monthly by the Nevada agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Reno, contained in the February ISSUE a contribution
by Charles S. Knight, professor of agronomy, entitled: General In
formation for Sugar-Beet Growers in Nevada" 1t is pointed out that
since the establishment OF the sugar factory at Fanon i'll 1911 by the
Nevada Sugar company, the sugar beet has become q very important
crop among the farmers of the state, especially in the Iruckce-Carson
project at Fanon. The factory is capable OF handling at least $4,000
tons OF beds every season. says Professor Knight. The beets bring
about $3.50 a ton at the factory, and the freight rates from the Sur
rounding valleys average about 90 cents per ton. BY following the
proper methods OF culture an average of from IS to 20 tons per acre
have been recorded during the past two seasons i'll the Fallon district.
In this state the beets rank very high in sugar content, averaging about
IS per cent, while records of from 20 to p per cent are not uncommon.
After the Juice is extracted from the beets several thousand tons OF pulp
remain as a byproduct This pulp is fed in connection with alfalfa and
gram in preparing the range cattle and sheep for market. Lime, an
other byproduct from the mill. is used by the farmers of the valley as
a fertilizer on the heavy soils.
For the past two seasons the lack of transportation facilities i'll the
Truckee-Carson project has greatly hindered the necessary development
in beet growing in that district, and thus materially checked the desired
progress of the factory. However. with the completion of the belt line
railroad into the Wighman and Saltwater districts, this obstacle will be
removed and the supply of bccts should readily increase to the capacity
OF the mill"
Last fall a proclamation was issued by Governor Odde calling
dustry by using Nevada grown sugar, and there is every evidence that
the response to his request was general. Last week Mayor Shair OF
Reno was in Goldfeld and succeeded in Introducing Nevada sugar in
the local market. He also visited other communities i'll the southern
part of the state on the same mission. The experiment station at Reno
is doing good work in educating the farmers Of the state in the culture
of the sugar beet, and there ire many indications that the industry will
continue to grow and thrive. Under such conditions the raisers of the
sugar beet will be assured OF a good revenue and the people of Nevada
will have at hand a good grade of sugar. Every encouragement should
be extended to the men who are now struggling to put this industry on
a sound basis.

Net Costs

COMBINATION MINE-The Combination produced its usual tonnage
of milling ore but II o lev Orebodies we're developed during the month.
MOHAWK MINE-In the Mohawk the most important development
for the month wa in the 4S2-X, which is an intermediate level midway be-
tween the 3d and 4h levels. Al a point about 200 feet southeast of the
shaft, it passed through a narrow section of the old 407 stope and de-
IVeloped a good width of milling ore o n the hanging wall side Of the old
stope On the new No. level the GO drift to the northeast from the
Sheets sh, produced IS tons of ST. ore.
On the No. level the 115-X drft, about $50 feet west of the shaft
produced 125 tons of SO ore.
On the No. 5 level, about ZOO feet northeast of the shaft, the 354-A
sill was enlarged and produced 147 tons of $40 ore
RED TOP-LAGUNA MINES-There we're no developments of i'm
portance in these mines during the month.
southwest o.. the Clermont shaft, the 4O1-AX sill wa started and produced
46 tons of SIS ore. 1t is N the hanging wall side of the old 41 stOpe and
promises to produce a considerable tonnage OF low-grade milling re-.
The S15-B raise continued during the month to follow a narrow
streak Of good copper ore and produced 23 tons of s35 ore.
The 79 drift which is following the SAM streak o n the level above,
produced % tons of $2 ore.
GENERAL-In general, the slopes were looking better at the end of
January than at any time in the past three months.
Very truly yours,
A. BURCH. General Manager.

with human blood, and what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
sdnder. -
For the sake of argument let it be supposed that Carranza and
Villa shall be successful in arms and in the course OF a few months
shall be found in triumphant occupation of Mexico City. Then what
will happen if they demand recognition on the part of the American gov
erumert? If President Wilson sticks to his present policy his hands
will be tied. True, Carranza and Villa are not charged with the assassi-
nation OF a president and vce-president; but what proof is there in law
that Huerta was guilty of the murder of President Madero and the then
vice-president of the southern republic Months after the death of these
officials the supreme court of Mexico, to which had been delegated the
work of Investigating the alleged crime, relieved Huerta of all response
.biHty in the matter. Does President Wilson dare question the judg-
ment of a supreme court--even of Mexico?
On the other hand. if Carranza and the bandits BY whom he is sur
rounded succeed in taking Mexico City and establish themselves in
official power, where will. the constitutional government come in? They
themselves in power by the same means. Even if an election should be
ordered is there anybody foolish enough to believe that it would carry
with it the badge of consttuionaity? AS between TIuerta and Car
rama, it is six OF one and half a dozen of the other. One end of the
teeter-board goes down only to come up again.
In the meantime the Wilson policy of "watchful waiting" goes
merriy on; we have a border patrol whose business it is to see that all
the murders and illegal executions are carried out ION the other side of
the line OF demarcafon between humanity and inhumanty. Human hd-
dlestcks! While this waiting policy is doing its level best to bring
the American government into disrepute, an English citizen residing in
the United States crosses the border to demand justice from the rebels.
At the instance of Assassin Villa he is fouly murdered and his widow
is denied even the satisfaction of giving the body a decent burial. The
American consuls who are delegated by the Washington government to
investigate the affair are houted by the arch assassin, who, with thumb
to nose, goes off to Chihuahua utterly Indifferent to consequences.
1t sometimes requires a good deal to fully arouse the American
people, but when fully aroused they become a whnlwind against which
nothing can prevail They have now reached the view that it is high
time for the butchery in Mexico to stop. "Watchful waiting has SC far
failed to prevent it.

Mining Men Organize

The metal mining men of Colorado and Utah have not been salts
fed with the conditions obtaining in their states for some time. Re
Gently the mining men OF Utah held a convention and perfected an or
ranization in an effort to stimulate the industry, and now the mining
operators of Colorado have formed an organization. These organiza-
tons are all right in their way but they do not get the ore out of the
ground. However, the Rocky Mountain News of Denver seems to
think that the Colorado Metal Mining Association will be a winner
Concerning this organization it says:
Last December the News initiated the idea of a mining con-
gress that eliminated yesterday in the organization OF the Colo
RADIO Metal Mining Association. We Their said that from the con-
gress "a permanent organization OF practical men can be effected
who will make it their duty to protect the industry from the preda-
tory wildcatter, the curbstone promoter and the pedder OF mining
stocks that will not bear strctest scrutiny This is precisely what
has been done, and the News congratulates the mining men of the
state on their success.
The best feature OF this statewide movement that is destined
to have a most important influence on the mining industry OF the
state is that it is in the hands of practical men who are actively en-
gagged in the production OF the precious metals. They can be de
pended upon to give efficient protection to the miner. They know
his needs and appreciate his difficulties. They are miners them
selve. interested in every phase OF The industry, and have an in
teigent knowledge OF what is necessary to save the industry from
danger and develop it along lines OF unquestioned commercial
strength.
The Colorado Metal Mining Association can be made a poten-
t1 engine of protection and defense in behalf OF Colorados great
est industry 1t can be made to inspire the confidence OF the IN
weston, and to put the mining faker of old out of commission. 1t
can establish itself as an influence to which the miners OF the state
will look confidently for guidance and direction. No movement
in recent years is fraught with more interest to metaliferous min
ing in the state than that which has resulted i'll the organization of
the Colorado Metal Mining Association. Now go ahead and do
business.

COPPER CANYON PLACERS
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Out in Copper canyon an hours
run westward by automobile from
Battle Mountain, New, a permanent
gold placer camp is being established.
Here are a few extracts from a let
ter received yesterday from A. f.
Nelson, one OF the pillars of the new
camp, to G.. r.. Greene, manager of
the Tar Baby Mining company of
Salt Lake:
They are sluicing at a lively rate
at the present time. Christensen and
Dahl now have three teams hauling
ore to the sluice bins. They are
working about 35 e
THE upper canyon is still in liti-
cation.
"A genuine strike has been made in
Eldorado canyon near here. They
have cross-cut about 20 feet in good
pay sand. But they have not yet got
the main channel.
"Quite a number of buyers are
coming in every few days, but they
do not want to put up much. Some
of them are not the real mining men;
they are boomers.
Il have got a full claim in Edo
RADIO canyon myself. Will do some
work soon. We expect to do some
thing right away with our Bannock
ground near the Christensen Dahl
workings.
Business is good out this way,
but there seems to be a lot of idle
men in Battle Mountain. They are
starting to build a hall up the can
yon; also a private boarding house.
There are 125 men in the canyon
and probably 200 in the district. The

The development of the coal resources of Alaska, according to
statement in a report on the mineral resources of the United States is
sued by the geological survey, has been held back on account of the
lack of legislation permitting the exploitation of the known extensive
and valuable fields. In 1912 the commercial product of coal in Alaska
amounted to only 355 tons. In addition 900 tons were mined under the
direction of the bureau Of mines for testing by the United States navy
The imports of coal into Alaska amount to about 100000 tons annually
but most of the transportation and manufacturing industries of the ter
ritory now depend on California oil for their fuel. 1t remains to be seen
what will happen when the government railroad is in operation.
Already the Los Angeles papers are poking ridcule at the blizzard
swept east and south. Have the seven deaths by drowning and the S.,
100000 property loss Sc soon passed from memory?

"WatchfuI Waiting"

When President Wilson refused to recognize the Huerta govern
ment in Mexico on the ground that it was unconstitutional and was
builded on bLoodshed, he no doubt was actuated by a high ideal; but
there was a lack of farsightedness in the policy then proclaimed that is
now fully apparent to the least observant. Unless the president recedes
from his stand there is no likelihood of any recognition being extended to
that country. The hands of all the potential chiefs of Mexico are stained
