Situation
q! s

be sincerely hoped that the bill now
being passed by the United states
congress may be OF great assistance
in relieving the situation. That.
however. can only point out the way.
There must follow the placing IlEon
the high seas to operate between the
United States and the principal South
American ports fleet of vessels fly
ing the American flag, and this can
only be done by United States COM
panies taking advantage OF this act
Of congress and carrying out the pro-
visions of this bill.
National Loans-Just as war was
declared several of the principal
countries of South America were me-
gotiating loans in the European FIN
ancial capitals. These loans are in
pired by the pressure OF local condi-
tions and are absolutely necessary
for the welfare OF the countries con-
cerned. For the present ard Droba-
lily for a long period 1t will lie i'm
possible to float such loans in Eu-
rope. Under the circumstances these
governments will naturally turn to
the banking and financial interests
OF the United States which hereto
fore have seldom subscribed for
South American loans or shown much
interest in theDl. BY enheavoring to
help out these governments in this
crisis, they can not fail TO parform
not only a great service 10 such GOV
ernments. but place themselves in a
favorable position to obtain other
loans In the future and favorable con-
sideration from the governments con-
cerned.
| I'm conclusion. 1t is gratifying To
state that the department of COM
merce of the United Statns Will,
commendable energy mas already
started an organization to relieve
this situation. but far reaching re-
suits can only be accomplished by the
direct action and interest of the en-
tire financial and commercial inter-
ests of the United States, and II the
pan-American Union can give aay In.

those who may be interested. 1t will

and other European countries lesser
sums. For comparison it can be stat
ed that the average imports from the
United States OF these 10 countries
| OF South America amount to approxi-
mately $155,00O.OOJ. Bearing the
fact in mind that the commercial re-
lationship OF South America and Eu-
rope has been 80 well organized and
systematized that 10 per cent of these
imports are only ordered about n
month or two months ahead of their
delivery, 1t can be realized how soon
the present supplies on hand in
South America will be exhausted and
that she must depend upon the Unit
cd States to make up the deficiency.
If the United States manufacturers
and exporters will exert every effort
TO supply this emergency demand
without increase of prices. or unnec-
essary delay they will accomplish
and the South American business in
terests alike.
South American Exports-The
same compilation OF figures shows
that South America annually exports
to foreign countries products valued
at approximately $1,177 100000. OF
this total nearly S700,0O0,000 go to
Europe. or these products Great
Britain takes approximately S27O.-
100000: Germany, $157.OO0,O 900;
France. $lO4. 900. 900: Belgium, $GO.-
100000: Netherlands. $44,OOO.O0o;
Italy, $27. 100000 Austria-Hun-
gary. $22,OO0.OOO. with the ramain-
ing amount divided among different
countries.
For comparison. it can be stated
that these 10 countries of South
America export t> the United States
annually products valued Mt aprroxi-
mately $25O,O0O. 900.
with, therefore. their principal
markets for their raw products tenn
rorarily closed against rhem. these
10 countries are looking Tor n place
to dispose Of their accommodating
stores. and If the importing interests
of the United States. including tha
manufacturers of raw material. can
relieve the situation by increasinG &
their purchases they may save the
South American business interests
from a financial crisis.
"Ships for the South American
Trade-As nearly 80 per cent OF the
exports and imports of these South
4 American countries are carried in
German, British and other European

Agriculture In Nevada

Nevada, long known IS the Sagebrush State, the land of grim
deserts and gaunt mountains, with here and there a wondrous treas
ue of gold, is losing its old character and winning a new reputation
Nevada bids fair to be known soon as the Alfalfa State and to take
a place as one of the great agricultural communities of the noun
tain region of the West, remarks the San Francisco Chronicle.
Yet the sagebrush title was not altogether inappropriate. That
humble plant, so long the sign and character Of the desert, has been
found to have another and far different significance. 1t has come to
be the mark of fertility in the desert region Wherever the sage
brush grows you may depend upon it that the soil is deep and rich
we'll drained and free from alkai, and capable of producing most
abundant crops. The sagebrust is the surest index of Nevada soil
values. Where it grows only one thing else is needed to make the
farmer fat and prosperous.
Water is the talisman. 1t is development of water in Nevada
that is turning the rich deposits of soil in the desert valleys into
oasis of luxuriance, causing the building of creameries, of -four mills
of sugar factories and bringing i'll permanent settlers to grow up
with the country 1t is changing the whole character of the State
While the mining industry is not diminishing but is now foruishing
on a larger scale and more substantial basis than ever before, and.
rapidly coming to the front as the first interest of the State, aided
and promoted indeed by the demands of the other two.
Water is not lacking to transform large areas Of the Nevada
desert into green fields and orchards and blooming gardens. 1t has
only waited for development. When mining and cattle occupied the
exclusive attention OF every one the sources of water were neglected.
The soil of Nevada is adapted to the growing of any kind OF
crops that lie within the great climatic range of the State. Alfalfa,
as a sure money crop, is one of the favontes The Nevada fields
produce enormous crops of onions, sometimes as much as 30 tons
to the acre. The Nevada potato is unsurpassed, and because Of its
splendid quality is in demand all over the coast II forms the prin-
clpal export crop Celery seems to be particularly adapted to the
soil and climate of Nevada, and is in great demand, both for local
consumption and for export

Killed In Florence Mine

In the Florence mine at Goldfield
Saturday morning Eugene Gilfllan,
a miner, while breaking ore in a
stope, was struck on the top of the
head by a falling rock, from which he
suffered a fracture of the skull.
Medical assistance was Immediately
secured and the injured man removed
to St. Mary's hospital, where he
passed away without regaining con-
seriousness. The deceased is survived
by his wife. He was as years of age,
and had been employed in the Flor
ence mine for several years, coming
to Nevada from Colorado. AS the
Florence mine pays premiums to the
Nevada Industrial Insurance Com
mission, it is presumed the widow
will receive $4,000, the amount al
lowed for accidental death, without
litigation.

Shipping Ore Samples
By Parcel Post

Austin Reveille: That the people
are taking advantage of the parcels
post system was fully demonstrated
in Austin this week. A mining en-
gineer, who had been sampling the
New Pass mines for ten days pre-
vious to last Monday. delivered 2295
pounds of ore to the Austin post office
in sacks varying in weight from five
pounds up to so pounds. The ore was
consigned to Lovelocks, a. d the post
age on the ore amounted to $25.51.
Had this shipment of ore been ship
ped to Lovelocks by freight the cost
would have been $27.77. AS these
figures show the shipper saves by par
eel post besides quick and prompt
delivery, 1926.
Had this ore, 2295 pounds, been
shipped to Lovelocks by express at
the present express rates, the cost
would have amounted to $73. 76, or a
saving over the express company of
S48.25 by the parcels post system.

JOHN EDWARDS BRAY,
Superintendent of Public instruction.
*The above apportionment does not
include any money received by the
State Controller or State Treasurer
from Elko County, as the State Con-
troller has not at this date had a full
settlement from said county and in
consequence has not included the
Elko State School money in his re-
port to me. Were this money to be
included, the total appropriation
would have been $119, 167.0 2. This
would have made the apportionment
S418.85 more than that of one year
ago. But there was increased in
come this year from extra invest
ments of school funds and from high
er interest-bearing re-investments,
and from S14, 600, 900 increased State
valuations, which evidently does not
appear in the Distributive School
Fund as reported to this office,
though it indicated clearly that the
apportionment at this time ought to
have been considerably in excess of
that of one year ago.

MINING MATTERS At HAMILTON
Active Operations On a Number
OF Properties Being Continued
Through Winter Months

Ely Expositor: In spite of the
deep snow which covers all the White
Pine mining district, operations near
Hamilton are being conducted by a
number of companies and will be con-
tinued all Winter. Next Spring is
expected to find the district in better
shape than for a number of years and
greatly increased activity is looked
for.
The property of the Hamilton Pow
err, Mining and Transportation Com
pany is reported to have a splendid
showing in the Wine sunk from the
tunnel. The ore body is exposed for
a depth of 40 feet and is said to be
five feet wide at the top and seven
feet wide at the bottom. AS there
is little waste in the ledge the ore is
sacked as it is broken down and, con-
sequently, the expense for dead work
is little or nothing. One outfit is
kept busy hauling the ore from the
property to the summit and several
outfits have been making regular
trips from the summit to the rail-
road at Eureka with loads of ore.
The value of the shipments is said to
average close to 500 a ton.
Several men are working in the Ne
Plus Ultra mine of the White Pine
Lead Company which is controlled
by the Bambergers of Salt Lake. 1t
is not known what kind of work is
being done but as a big strike was
made in this mine two years ago from
which no shipments have been made,
though a lot of ore was broken down,
sacked and piled in the drifts, it is
surmised that further development
of the ore found in the fssure is in
progress.
John w. Nyce has been at work on
the Jennie A. group erecting a cabin
and preparing to begin production
from this property on which he and
A. B. Witcher have a lease. The
weather and high winds have delayed
this work somewhat.
In the tunnel which the Silver
Queen Company is driving to catch
an east-west fissure, two men are
working and the face was pushed
ahead 100 feet in q days. 1t is fig
ured that the tunnel will have to be
driven 265 feet more to reach the OBJ
~jective point and that this develop
ment will be completed by Spring.
AS the east-west assure is highly min
eralized near the surface and as good
ore has been produced from it where
it passes through other properties,
the expectations are that shipping
ore will be found where the tunnel
will intersect it.
Development in a small way is be-
ing done on other properties in the
district where it is possible to work
in the Winter, for the purpose of
shaping things to be prepared for
larger work next Summer, and in
dications are that the coming season
will see the greatest activity that has
prevailed in the White Pine district
for a long time.
