ALFALFA SEED RAISING TO
Be IMPORTANT INDUSTRY

the finest class of alfalfa seed can be
raised in this valley has been demon
strated. In previous season, on the
Williams ranch, an l8-acre field pro-
duced an average of GAS pounds of
seed to the acre, and of all the acre
age handled in 1910 and 1911 the av-
erage was 6l0 pounds per acre. AL
falfa seed sells for II to l8 cents per
pound, so the returns are good. The
raising of alfalfa for seed has demon
strated that better hay can be raised
with less irrigation as alfalfa for seed
needs little water in this valley. Fur
thermore, in threshing the hay re-
sidue is left after taking the seed out
that is but about one-third less valu-
able for cattle fodder than if the seed
had not been taken out. Mr.. Warren
is equipped with a tractor engine
which he uses for all farm purposes,
such as blowing, seeding, narrowing
and threshing.

There was also one fatality, a tramp

instantly killed The cause of the
wreck is supposed to be broken

Immediately summoned from Sparks
and track was soon built around the
wreck. The first train that tried to
90 over this track had a car get off the
rails and this complicated matters and
caused more delay. The wreck was
cleared up in a couple of days and
trains were again running on time,
the passenger trains only being de
layed few hours. The cars that
were wrecked were filed with mer-
chandise of all kinds and the Piutes
in the vicinity OF the Reservation are
said to have laid in good supply Of
groceries, canned goods, etc. There
was also a carload of bottled beer in
the wreck. and what was not broken
and lost was consumed by the thirsty
Indians and wrecking crew. The loss
will be considerable to the Southern
Pacific Co. The accident occurred
just over the line in Mineral county
and the body OF the man killed was
taken to Hawthorne. There was moth
ing on the body by which identif-
cation could be made and it may never
be known who he was.

MIAMI PEOPLE
WELL PLEASED

The Miami people, who have been
prospecting the Empire Nevada
ground across the river for some
months past with churn drill, seem
to be pretty we'll satisfied with the
progress they have made and the
stuff the drill has gone through. They
have about completed the third hole

having bond on the Empire-Nevada
ground has bonded several more
pieces of property, and some days
ago made some small payments on
properties secured They have bond
on the Dillon piece of ground on the
west bank of the river and have taken
over the Alberta townsite, south of
the old smelter plant on the Empire
Nevada ground. Besides these the
company has located number of
claims on the fat and in the foothills
outside of the Empire Nevada hold
ings. There are many rumors afloat
as to what this company proposes to
do in the district. the majority of
which have no foundation whatever.
All that can be said is that, SO far,
the showings have been encouraging,
and if the future prospecting of the
property proves satisfactory the Mi
ami Company will certainly do some
big things in the district

Are you liable to make return?
That is the vital question for you
at this time.
The answer is simple.
If your net income for that period

cember 81, both inclusive, was $250O
or over, you must make return. This
applies to both single and married
persons.

Ask your bank for form or write
Immediately to the Collector of In

If you are at all in doubt, it were
yourself.
The law places the responsibility
upon the individual. If you do not
understand what met income" means,
as it defines liability to make return,
you are invited and urgently advised
to write for information.
