FINE ARTESIAN BELT.

Smith Valley is becoming famous
as the artesian belt of Nevada. Many
years ago Frank Everett drove some
small wells at the old Delphi mine
and secured a flow of artesian water
at a depth of 40 or so feet. 1t re-
manned for new settlers in the north
ern portion of the valley to demon
strate that sufficient artesian water
could be obtained for irrigation pur
poses, and now. there are numtrous
little farms being cultivated in that
section with water obtained from
these wells, the flow in some in
stances reaching 400 gallons per min
ute The old settlers in the south and
east portion of the valley, encouraged
by what had been done in the other
section, prospected for artesian water
with the result that H. M. Schooley,
Jay Mann, c. c. Tidd, ]. p. Lynch,
II. F.. Scott and others all have splen-
did 3-inch wells from 80 to l20 feet
in depth The Scott well has flow
of about $50 gallons per minute and
the others about the same, These
farmers are piping the water all over
their premises, to the corrals, barns.
chicken houses and installing it in
their houses as il has splendid force.
The water is of moderate temperature
and pure, being fine for domestic pur-
poses and watering stock

PITTSBURG-DOLORES
NEW NAME FOR THE
ROCKLAND PROPERTY

The Pittsburg- Dolores Mining
Company is the new name of the com
pany now operating the old Rockland
property south of Pine Grove. S. H.
Mckee is President of the new com
pany, Aug. Vignos Vice President, r.
J. Palmer Secretary and F. J. Schra-
der General Manager Work on the
cyanide mill, which will have a capac-
ity of 80 tons per day, is being rushed
as rapidly as possible. The ore will
be crushed by rolls which will reduce
the pulp to 200-mesh fineness and
the pulp will go directly to the cyan
ide tanks from the rolls. No amalga-
mating plates will be used, which will
make considerable of saving in the
cost of reduction.
The Rockland property is an old
producer and has some $4,000 feet of
underground workings in the shape of
tunnels, drifts and raises The lower
tunnel has about | 400 feet of drifting
on the vein and backs of about 900
feet under the apex, which, as it now
stands, gives ore for a three-year run
in sight Experiments on the line on
which the plant is being constructed
show that very close saving of val
ues can be made, in fact, the ore is
one of the finest cyaniding PROPOSE
tions in the State. 1t runs we'll in gold
values mad we have seen ore from
portions of the mine that ran $50 to
$40 per pound This ore was a sugar
quartz occurring in small seams.
Dwight Leavitt arrived here Thrus-
day and will have charge of extend
ing the Truckee River General Elec-
trio Company's line from Pine Grove
to Rockland This extension will be
completed by the time the mill is
ready to run and electric power will
be used for all purposes around the
mill and mine in the course of a few
weeks
Quite a force of miners is employ
ed at the present time on development
work in the mine and getting things
in shape for stopping ore.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY
IN YERINGToN
LAST SATURDAY.

The Democratic State candidates
held forth in Owl Hall last Saturday
night The band played and the hall
was we'll filled, many Republicans
attending the meeting. Those present
were Senator Newlands, Emmit
Boyle, M. J. Sullivan, Attorney
Thatcher, J. f. Bray, Ed Malley, Ed
Ryan, Joe Farnsworth and l.. B.
Fowler Each spoke shortly regard
ing his candidacy and was warmly ap-
plauded. Senator Newlands was the
last speaker and delivered quite an ad-
dress. He told of what he had done
in the way of national legislation but
there was very little OF his work
which benefited Nevada to any appre-
ciable extent. He did not, however.
have word of denial regarding the
charges and exposes of his record by
Sam Platt, although he had read Mr..
Platt's Reno speech, delivered cou
pie of days previous, which was the
same practically, as delivered here
Thursday night Mr.. Newlands said he
resented the intimation that he was
in any way responsible for the talk
of Geo H. Maxwell made in Yering-
ton on Thursday of last week. He did
not relate that while he (Mr. New
lands) was passing through yelling
ton on the day Mr. Maxwell spoke
here, he tried very hard to get into
communication with Maxwell over the
phone Mr.. Newlands praised the ad
told how, generally, he and Viii
son were of the same opinion on
most issues. He did not tell
the audience why he voted for the
tariff bill which has ruined the sugar
interests of the United States after
making many Neadans believe he
would not support the measure which
took the duty off of foreign sugar.
He did not refer to the injury this act
has worked in Louisiana and other
Southern States, nor tell how the Sen
ators of Louisiana, staunch Demo
Gratis, had plead for their States in
terests and voted against the Under
wood tariff bill There are many more
things Mr. Newlands did not explain,
one of which was his vote against the
measure which would have relieved
Nevada of the back haul charge
which Nevada merchants have been
struggling under for years. The Sen
ator seemed to be worried over some
thing, possibly because there were
people in Nevada this year who had
the temerity to challenge some of his
statements and doubt many more of
them. Altogether the meeting was
quite a success from point OF num-
bers and candidates. After the meet
ing the candidates circulated about
town and met the voters. They all
left for Rawhide and the southern
country in automobiles the forenoon
after the meeting.

plaintiff and the defendant Mr..
Springmeyer was roundly applauded.
Mr. Abel was then introduced and in
short time convinced the audience
that he knew what he was talking
about so far as eduratioal matters
were concerned, although he may not
be an orator He made some good
points on educational matters and ere
ated very favorable impression
VIM. Mcmillan, State Treasurer,
and again seeking the office, was the
next speaker. Mr.. Mcmillan is quite
well known in this community, and
his qualifications for the position to
which he aspires are unquestioned He
explained to the audience how, dur
ing his incumbency, he had secured
legislation allowing the use of State
school money so that it had brought
in additional revenue sufficient to
more than pay the salary and run
ming expenses of his Office. He paid
a warm tribute to Jake Eggers, State
Controller, who was obliged to remain
in Carson to oppose the raiding of the
treasury by appointees illegally made
by the Democratic State Board. Mr..
Mcmillan was warmly cheered.
Sam Platt, OF NEVADA, was then
introduced, but could not be heard for

PRESS OPINIONS
PRAYER IN EUROPE AND
 AMERICA.
(Fort Smith American.)

(Fort Smith Americano
 Three emperors in war-torl Euro pc have asked their subject to go to a church of the God of Love and Peace, fall on their knees and pray that He will bless their several arms.
 How grim the irony of this re- quest. How like a page torn from the feudal past!
 Divine blessing on arms raised ia pride, panic and hate-raised not to do justice, not to assail wrong, but to support arrogance, tyranny!
 The very idea is blasDhemy.
 But here is what you as an Amer ican can do:
 If given to prayer, you can bend knees in profound thankfulness that you live in land of peace and plenty far from the reach of ruthless milit- arism.
 And, even though you may not be- lieve ill prayer, you ought to feel thankful, anyhow.
 As a nation we have done well to keep out of Europe's entangling all liances.
 We have done we'll, exceedingly well, to teach our young men not to glory in battle and murder, but in productive, helpful work.
 Thus, as the foreign storm breaks, we are not only securely shltered, but are ready to feed the famine stricken and be as good Samaritals to the wounded

TALKS ON THRIFT. THE PROBLEM OF THE GREAT
 MIDDLE CLASS.

This rapid change in extreme
 fashions has but one object;
 namely, to force everybody who
 can to buy anew as often as pos
 sible. It has another effect;
 namely, to induce the great mid
 dle class to spend all it can
 earn."-Dean Eugene Davenport. Befu-e the French Revolution France was divided into three classes or estates nobility, the clergy and the common people.
 We cannot close our eyes to the fact that in America today, as far as money matters are concerned, society is again divided into three classes the rich, the poor and the great mid , rdle class, neither rich nor poor. The very rich have their troubles, such as unwelcome publicity and the annoyances and insults of agitators of one kind or another, to say noth- ing of the burdens imposed by the care of their fortunes and the enforc- ed maintenance of an elaborate scale of living.
 The disadvantages and discomforts of poverty are too we'll known to need more than mention as we passs on to consider the sorrows of the great mid dle class, to which the great bulk of our citizens belong.
 At the present time this large part of our population is being ground, so to speak, between the upper mill stone of the necessity of keeping up appearances and the neither one of tho hioh If
 Our grandmothers wore calico dresses costing not more than seven- ty-five cents. It would now take the price of ten to twenty such dresses to buy hat for one of our daughters in the high school. What Is more sig R:ficant. our grandmothers earned the dresses themselves by working per- haps a whole week at hDuseWork. Do our young girls earn their hats?
 Of coruse, times are different and we don't expect our young daughters to earn their clothing. But the fact remains that the present generation must pay exorbitantly for it's clothing. There seems to be something like a conspiracy between the designers and the manufacturers of women's hate ''iu LII SooSo lO prevent luc ueNelC' ment of standardization of styles.
 Every year brings radical change in cut, color and texture, compelling the purchase of complete new outfits unless a woman wants to be out of style, which is nothing short of ca lamity from the feminine point of view, or the masculine, either, for that matter.
 This is one thing which for the time is beyond our control, but there are many others involving the ex- penditure of money which we can reg ulate, and doing so is the only hope of economic salvation for us of the great middle class, for by so doing we are enabled to save some of our re- sources and build up reserve fund the earnings of which will eke out our own.
