Constantine Group-The Constan-

side of the district for some months
past, are very much encouraged with
the outlook for the property. The

this point a cross-cut has been rur

down to the 200-foot point and from
there the ground will be prospected
in each direction. 1t looks as though
the boys had a chance to make a nice
little fortune out of this property a
they can ship some fine ore at any
time now.
Silver State-Lee Barthomew came
down from his Lappan Canyon prop
edty Thursday, bringing with him a
nice little bar of bullion for shipment
This bullion was from a run of only
about 80 tons of ore in the little mill
on the property, the plate returns OF
which were something over $40 per
ton in gold There is between $S and
$40 per ton in values going into the
tailings which will make fine cyan

miners are employed in the mine on

EXCELLENT LOCATION
FOR FAIR EXHIBIT
SECURED IN RENO

A communication from Commits
sioner Barlow, received few days
ago, states that he has secured the
choicest location in the pavilion al
Reno in which to place the exhibit OF
minerals and agricultural products to
be made by Lyon county at the com
ing State Fair. The location consists
of 800 square feet of space in front OF
the man entrance of the pavilion, and
is where everybody who visits the pa
wilton cannot help but see it 1t is
only little over month now to fair
time and some produce is now in
shape to prepare it for this purpose
or rather keep it in good shape sc
that it can be gathered when wanted.
We are of the opinion that a great
mistake will be made by Lyon county
if she fails to get some good man tC
gather and prepare her exhibit. II
the matter is left to the farmers tC
bring in their exhibits, past expert
ence has shown that there will be lit
tie of real worth furnished 1t is also
necessary that some person with ex
perience in his line should be employ
ed to attend the exhibit. Last years
exhibit from Lyon county was wei
attended and intelligently explained
and set forth, and it has been wortl
many hundreds of dollars to Lyon
county in the way of advertising our
resources. Do not let us fall down
this year by having Heterogeneous
mass OF stuff thrown together ant
carted over over to Reno for an ex-
hibit Better make no exhibit at all
And this is a year when Lyon county
ought to bring home the gold medal
for a county exhibit. Our crops o
every kind are bumper ones of tho
finest quality.

CURTAILMENT OF COPPER
PRODUCT WILL PROBABLY
BE VERY EXTRAORDINARY

Some years ago war or rumor OF
war was always great stimulus fol
copper, as the demand thus quickly
created as quickly absorbed the avil
able supplies and advanced prices
very rapidly. That was time, how
ever, when the production was small
and stocks comparatively light. With
production in excess OF l+0,OOO,O0U
pounds per month in this country
however, of which 50 per cent is con
sumed by Europe in normal times, .
European war would so quickly stop
normal consumptive demands that
supplies would accumulate in this
country very rapidly, for while there
may be a quick temporary demand
the prostration of industries would
far outweigh any war demand. Tc
meet this situation there will be extra
ordinary curtailment in his country
The Anaconda has already closed
down is Great Falls smelter and the
big porphyries will shut down Sun
days. The Lake properties, however,
will probably not curtail, for Lake
copper is more adaptable for war pur-
poses, particularly for use in the man
ufacture of cartridges The war de
mand will probably take all the Lake
copper that can be produced provided
IL can he delivered The bulk of the
production of copper is so well con
trolled by few parties that there
need be no fear of any stampede tc

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

Amorg our -nouncements this
week will be found those OF George
Friedloff and n. w. Willis. who are
the Democratic nominees for Assem-
blymen from the fact that no other
Democrats filed in time to get on the
primary ticket.
Mr.. Frie6hoff is a candidate to sue
coed himself, he being now one oi
the members of the Legislature from
Lyon county. He is one of Mason
Velley's prominent ard popular young
farmers, and contractor besides, and
has considerable interest in the wei
fare of the county His previous ex-
pcrience in this line will stand him
well in hand if he is again selected as
one of our Assemblymen. We be
lieve Mr.. Friedhoff to be honest and
conscientious in his dealings and to
have the best interest of the county
and Mason Valley in particular, at
heart: also to be astute enough not tc
allow, anything to be put over" Lyon
county to her detriment,
Mr.. n w. Willis. the other Demo
cratic nominee, is the present District
Attorney of Lyon county, and has
chosen to seek the Assembly office
rather than again run for the office
which he now occupies. He has been
resident of this section of Nevada
from infancy with the exception OF .
few years spent practicing his probes
son in the southern portion OF the
State. He knows the wants of Lyon
county as well as anybody and would
undoubtedly be careful of her inter
ests if elected as one of her Assem-
blvmen. His training as an attorney
should give him an insight into the
legality of all measures before the
Legislature and very little would pass
by without his notice.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
HAS WON ON ALL POINTS
BACK-HAUL QUESTION.

Hon. Fl. F. Bartine, Chief Railroad
Commissioner, was in Yerington
Wednesday evening and being asked
as to the status of the suit over the
back haul" matter said in effect that
the Nevada Commission had won,
thus far, every point contended for.
The United States Supreme Court has
decided every point in favor of the
people of Nevada and the railroad
companies are now trying to get a
rehearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission in order to modi-
fy, if possible, the effect of the de-
cision. They are practically asking
for everything which they have lost
by the litigation, but it is very much
like the complaint in lawsuit, wherein
the attorneys ask for all that they
hope to get, and for all other things
in the heavens above, the earth be-
meath, and the waters under the earth,
in the hope that if beaten in one par
ticular they may gain little in an
Otner QlreCUOn. IL IS Simply SOVCi-
ing all matters under dispute in order
to have grounds for argument, so that
the real issue may be more or less
logged. The matter of real import
ance. however,, the charging of back
freights on materials brought through
Nevada, against the protest of the
people who own the freight, is un
doubtedly going to be stopped. The
fight has been real, only for the past
five years. Previous to that time,
there was lot said about the injus-
tice of the iniquitous back haul charge,
but it never came up for decision, with
real reasons why it should not be toll
Grated, till the present suit was
brought When the matter comes up
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the people of Nevada will be
represented, and no stone left unturn
ed to make such a showing that the
attorneys of the big railroad corpora
! tions can find no place to stand. There
is every reason to hope and expect
| that we have seen the last of the back
haul charges on frcigh.s frcm the

SHELTER PAYMENTS.

Parties who have been shipping
some high-grade silver ore to the
Thompson smelter have received
word that no more ore of that char
acter would be received In Utah
it is understood that the smelters re-
ceiving ores are paying for the gold
content the regular price. However
they are only advancing 25 cents an
ounce on the silver content of ores
and 10 cents per pound for the cop
per content The balance being held
back will be adjusted as soon as some
stability is attained by the market.

BRIEF MINING NEWS OF THE DISTRICT
FOR The PAST WEEK

tailings at the old Wheeler mine at
Pine Grove and are arranging to con
centrate the material and ship the con
centrates to the smelter. The old
Wheeler property is owned by Pope
and Talbot, capitalists of San Fran
cisco There are some 1000 tons OF
the tailings and they contain a con
tent of between $5 and So in gold
Messrs Knox and Ross are going to
concentrate the tailngs either by
blanket sluicing or some concentration
process. There is plenty Of water for all
purposes and if concentrators are put
in small gasoline engine will be in
stalled to run them The lessees are
to pay a royalty of so cents per ton
for the tailings.
Smith Valley Mine-The Smith
Valley Mines Co. is pushing work il
the way of opening up its ore body
The showing on the first level is very
good. On the 200-foot level the cross
cut is getting into the ore, although
some distance will have to be run yet
before reaching the point under the
ore in the upper levels. The prop
erty seems to verify what we have
said about its making big mine.
Smelter Tonnage-From the report
of tonnage received at the Thompson
smelter this week it will be seen, com
pairing the report with that of last
week, that the tonnage is increasing
instead of falling off, which indicate
that the smelter will not cease opera
tons just at present, Notwithstanding
the reports and rumors that it is to
close down.
Wheeler Lease-Wm Dexheimer
and Con Alexander have taken lease
on a portion of the Wheeler mine a
Mount Grant They have nice show
ing and expect to have out a nice little
shipment of ore very shortly out OF
which they will make nice little
cleanup.

PLAY GROUNDS FOR
YERINGroN CHILDREN
AT GRAMMAR SCHOOL

The health, strength and endurance
of our population is vitality connected
with play Fresh air, sunshine and
exercise will build up strong ply
sique, increasing the industrial power
of the individuals and increasing the
moral power. Over two hundred cit
les in all parts of the country have
established Fairgrounds at an expense
of many millions, the citizens believ-
ing it cheaper in the end to provide
good, clean fun, healthful exercise and
vide jails, aims houses and insane asy-
lums later A playground affords a
natural and normal outlet for ener-
gies that otherwise might be expend-
ed in the destruction of property
alterations and depredations OF many
sorts. Especially supervised play
instruction in many lines and helps
materially to lessen the number OF ac
cidents which annually befall the
youth of the land.
The Woman's Club of Yerington
had playground and social center
program in April and when tnese
ladies learned what had been lone for
the children of other cities they could
not rest until ours had some OF the ad
vantages to be derived from fun and
exercise in the open air Thus The
playground first shaped itseit IN the
fertile brains OF our worieh, fut -
order that all might feel free t. help
and receive IT'S aid, the governing
board was made representative 1t
consists of Mrs. Webster, Mrs. Knox
and Miss Mckay, Mr.. Rickscckei
from the high school, Mr.. Lamkin
from the grammar school and Mr.
Crowninshield from Ire City Council
This committee is very grateful for
the financial aid, the many donations
and encouragement of he loyal mer
chants and the citizens who have
made this great step forward possible
Three fine swings, a pair OF rings, a
horizontal bar and giant stride have
been installed. a b1sket ball court
has been prepared and 9uoit grmind
staked out. A SAND box will be flied
as soon as fine sand IS available. and
il is hoped that slid. will be con
srructed before many days. The COM
mittee has provided bean bags. jump
ropes, a volley ball and basket ball.
The latter has been enjoyed more
than the other things because basket
ball affords all the players such splen-
did opportunities for exercise. A sew
ing class has been in operation since
the beginning and the girls have made
many useful articles-aprons, bags
and wearing apparel of various sorts.
This was made possible through the
gcnosity of the Ladies Aid who kind
ly lent two of their machines.
Mrs. Littell has recently assumed
charge of the grounds and they will
be kept open until school begins. The
committee members feel that many
benefits will be received by this city
for every one visits and enjoys the
place.

PARK LAKE FOR
CALIPATRIA PLAN

Announcement is now made that il
is the intention of the developers Of
Calipatria to turn the waste from
No. 5 canal into a park, making a
beautiful setting and background for
the town.
The waste at this point is backed
up, forming a considerable body of
water, in which clumps of trees have
already reached considerable size, thus
morning natural setting for a park.
An outlet will be arranged, which
will keep the water moving and pre-
vent it from becoming stagnant. If
this plan is carried out it will give
to Calipatria something which no
other valley town has. This is only
one of many ideas that Mr.. Schader
has for developing this town and put
ting it in the front rank of valley
towns.
