A WORD TO THE PUBLIC.

We have been compelled, on ac-
count of the financial condition of the
school district, TO discontinue the de
partments of manual training and do
nestle science of our high school
This seems to be a very unpopular
action on our part, so, for the beneht
of those who are prone to criticise.
and for all who are interested in
knowing, we desire to state that
copy of the financial report OF the
district Is ON file at the brokerage
office of r. Fred Brown.
You will notice that we were com
PEELED to issue emergency warrants
sufficient to defray the expense of
the last two months school of the
preceding year That we are still
indebted to the Nye colnty general
fund TO the amount of $1,000. We are
also indebted to Weber & Co., Of
San Francisco, for school furniture
to the amount of s6,11210
Your tax rate is already high Your
/ county commissioners are opposed TO
any measure that is for the benefit
OF your schools.
We are determined to keep within
the amount allowed us for school pur-
poses, and we are anxious and in
sistent that the present Indebtedness
be paid, at the same time keeping
what departments our finances enable
us to carry. up to a high standard.
The majority of the pupils are In
grammar school, and some of the
rooms are oyercrowded. We feel tina

CREEK|N
HUMBOLDT COUNTY
HAS RICH PLUMs
MANHATTAN MEN RETURN FROM
THE NORTH AFTER SUM-
MER's EXPERIENCE.

John G. Mihelitch and J. Bostian,
of Manhattan, returned home Sunday
from the Leonard creek placers in
Humboldt county, where they have
been for Two months
They have been at work sinking
four prospect shafts on property
which they acquired in the new pla-
Ger fields
Messrs. Rose, Moffet and Alley are
engaged in driving a long drain tun-
mel on the original placer strike on
Tepee creek. They expect to reach
bedrock in short time, when they
will be able to take out and work the
gravel, which showed very rich in
prospect shafts that we're sunk before
the tunnel work was started.
Drouillard brothers are working
/ their quartz property on Chicken
creek and have fine showing. They
are sinking on three-foot ledge and
the rock pans well A streak about
four inches wide shows considerable
free gold.
Curry Benin and Frazer are suic-
ing in New York canyon on the sur
face and making good wages.
In Cove canyon Morgan, Damon and
Hanley are sinking prospect shaft
on their placer property. They are
down thirty-five feet but have not
reached bedrock.
Gordon and Garrett are working
their property in Cove canyon. They
have a good showing on two lodges
: which have been opened up in several
places for distance of 5000 feet.

MAY MAKE CYANIDE
IN UNITED STATES
SAYS A CHEMIST

In view Of the stoppage of the for
eign supply Of cyanide and cyanogen
compounds and its effect not only on
the extraction of gold and silver in
the mining industry, but also its eff
feet on many electrical and chemical
industries. Baxeres de Alzugaray, in
an article in the Mining and Engi-
neering World. discusses the source
of the raw products, and the posi-
bility of manufacturing It in this
country.
A considerable quantity of cyanides
escape from the blast furnaces, as
fumes and fiue dust, from which large
amounts of potassium cyanide can be
recovered by methods analogous to
those in practice TO purify coal gas
Cyanide is produced not only in iron
blast furnaces, but also and in large
quantities in copper and lead furnaces
and In general way in any metal
lurgical apparatus wherever the nitro
gen of the blast acts ON hot carbon
mixed with alkalies. Fumes and gases
issuing from these producers can be
condensed, and the cyanide contents
separated thereof
In the publication of coal gas by
hydrated iron oxide, large amounts OF
cyanide are continually obtained; this
has been an old-time supply.
The extension of the by-product
coke ovens, replacing the wasteful
beehive ovens. constitute an abund
ant source of nitrogen products from
which large quantities of cyanides
can be obtained
The beet sugar industry is another
well known source of cyanide, which
4 is obtained as one of the by-products
by the treatment of residual vinasse
4 Formerly most of the potassium
/ ferrocyanide from which other cyan
ogen compounds were made was OBJ
tanned by fusion of dry refuse ANNA
matter at a red heat, together will
potassium carbonate and iron filings
About 5000 tons of cyanides wer'
yearly produced by this method. Thu
scarcity of hoofs, horns and scral
leather and the competition of syn
thetic cyanides have RELOCATED thi
old method
Cyanides can also be made from al
mospheric nitrogen; by synthesis be
tween carbon disulphide and an
monia; by ammonia, charcoal and a
kali. and from sulphocyanides.
There are several hundred patent
(many of them in operation) whic
have been applied for during the las
twenty years, relating to the prepari
ton Of cyanides from carbides, frol
nitrides, etc.
The enumeration of the more pra
tical methods for the preparation {
cyanides by these various method
would be too long. These brief note
show plainly the abundance of m
terials which we have within OF
reach, to create an independent n
tional industry, which could not on

OF INTEREST TO RANCHERS
Germany Finds That Potato throwing
Improves Soil Productivity.

American potato growers Will be
interested in the fact that German
farmers have found that many indl-
rect benefits result from potato Gull
ture. through modern methods OF crop
rotation, green manuring, and fertll-
izing. In a recently issued bulletin,
entitled Lessons for American Potato
Growers from German Experiences.
the departments specialist describes,
among other things, how eastern Ger
many benefits from the cultivation of
the potato.
The potato has played the greatest
role in the agricultural development OF
light and fertile soils of this region,
as the sugar beet has done in heavier
soils. According to German special
lists. these hoed root crops are bene-
fetal to any soil, through the deep
and thorough culture that is given
| them, with it's resultant Improvement
| in the physical condition and aerat1on-
The profits from the crop justify
the liberal use of commercial fertll-
| izers, from which there are important
residual effects on other crops in the.
rotation. The clean culture practiced
also brings all weeds into thorough
| subsection. The yields per acre of all
| farm crops have been greatly increas-
| ed since the extension of potato grow
ing.
Potato tops are now dried and used
for stock food on many estates. The
by product, mash, resting from the
distillation of potatoes into alcohol is
also an important economical factor.
/ While we have, in fact, better soils
than Europe in almost unlimited area
adapted for potatoes, our hot sum-
mers injure the potato plant, where
they aid in the development of our
grain crop, corn. In the corn belt
there can never be profit in growing
potatoes in excess of those needed To-
cally for table use. Corn can be pro-
duced more economically, is better for
stock feeding and is a cheaper source
OF starch and alcohol. Farther north,
however, and in the elevated western
districts where corn can not be raised
potato growing has a greater future.
However, vast deposits of petrol
cum will also offer competition indi-
rectly to the potato, as at present
there is not the need in this country
that there is in Germany for potato
: alcohol. Nevertheless, we are using
up our great petroleum resources, and
} the time may not be far distant when
when the distilling of alcohol from
potatoes may become an important in

TAX INTERSTATE BUSINESS
New Plan to Protect Local Merchants
Against Mail Order Houses.

Now it is proposed to have the led
eral government levy tax on the in
terstate business done by the mail or
der houses, and petitions have been
sent to the Idaho delegation in con-
gress urging them to support the bill
introduced by Representative Hine-
| baugh of Illinois to accomplish this
purpose.
Congressman Addison II. Smith,
writing to one of the petitioners, says:
81 am in hearty accord with the pur-
pose to be accomplished by the pro-
posed legislation, and believe that the
| great mail order houses which have
| been accommodating great fortunes
through merchandising by mail with
out paying any taxes in the territory
| in which they sell their goods, should
| be required in some way to contrl-
butte to the support of the country in
which they do business. 1t is doubt
full if the bill prepared by Mr.. Hine-
baugh will accomplish this result, but
if the committee favorably considers
| the bill any necessary amendments
may be made which will make the law
effective"
Commissioner Wallis of the state
pure food department had his atten-
ton called to this matter forcibly in
a letter received from grocery deal
er in Idaho Falls. This man writes:
"There has been approximately
$4,000 worth of groceries sold in this
city in the past summer and fall by a
Denver mail order house. Our mer-
chants cannot meet their prices. as
they pay no tax or license whatever
while our merchants pay about $4.5C
on each 500 invested in order to dc
business. This Denver house by their
agents have Just completed canvass
of this city and have taken with them
most of the ready cash usually eX-
pended in our city for living ex-
penses.
