MINING NEWS FROM
CAMP OF YER|NGTON

Chas. Bovard has just shipped a
small carload of ore from his Piute
Flat prospect that runs $50 per ton
in gold. This is a mine run just as
it was broken, says the Y~erington
Times. He has now adopted a diff
ferent method of taking the ore out,
which will save the high-grade by it
self and will soon have another ship
ment ready which he thinks will give
| better returns than the above. The
deeper the workings the better values
seem to be, as the ore in the lower
level is much richer than it is near
the surface. AS fast as he can make
room, he will add to his force, and ex-
poets to have a f~ull-f1edged producer
this IN Other properties in this
section are said to be looking better
in values and size of vein as depth is
attained, and there will probably be
several shippers in the near future.
A report came in yesterday hat w.
DeXheimer and associates, who have a
lease on the Empire-Nevada property,
have run into four feet of high grade
copper ore. Our informant states
that it is the richest ore he has seen
in the district. The ground, up to a
short time ago, was under lease to
other parties who drifted some 100
feet or more, and not finding what
they were looking for, gave up the
lease. The new leasers were driving
for a drill hole to get air connection
when they ran into four feet of high
grade. They have so far drifted both
ways on the vein about 10 feet and
find it all the anne quality of ore. A
strange thing in this matter is that
the big drill hole had missed this ore
by only a short distance. Along with
this high grade stuff is plenty of low
er grade ore which makes this strike
look like a big thing.
Brown Crosse and associates have
opened up a nice vein of ore on their
Mohawk group of claims located
seven of eight miles east of Yering-
ton. They have just shipped one car
load of ore to the smelter that is rich
in copper content and carrying some
gold and silver. This has been taken
out in sinking a shaft about % feet
deep. 1t is the intention of the par
ties to keep on sinking until consid-
cradle depth is attained and the ore
being taken out will pay for the worH
and then some.
An experimental teaching plant ar
rived at Ludwig this week for the Ne
vada-Douglas company and is being
set up to make tests of the ore by
the process that the company has
been trying out for the past several
months.

WELFARE WORK OF
BIG SMELLING COMPANY

At the close of the fiscal year
1918, the American Smelling & Re-
filming company carried on the pen
sion list the names of 40 employees,
whose days of usefulness have passed
and who, under the rules of the pen
sion board, are cared for from the
pension fund. The income from the
fund exceeded the payments made
during the year by $1O,394. The sue
cessful outcome of any business, and
especially the technical operations of
a smelling corporation, depend large
ly upon the loyalty and cooperation
of it's employees. To promote fair
treatment and cordial relations be-
tween the company and its employees
the company last May secured the
services of Hon. G. P. Neill, formerly
labor commissioner of the govern
ment, and the welfare work, hospital
arrangements and employers liabil-
ity settlements of the company have
been placed under the SUP, rvision of

RICH GOLD SPECIMENS
ARE SHOWN IN RENO

Some of the richest rock seen in
Reno for a number of years was
brought to that town last Friday
morning by Phil Blume of Winnie
mucca, who stated hat it was broken
from a slab 20 inches long. II
inches wide and perhaps three inches
thick, found a short time ago while
doing some development work on a
newly located property at Disaster
Peak. 115 miles north of the town
of Winnemucca.
The rock which Mr.. Blume had
weighed something ove a pound and
contained approximately $500 in the
yellow metal and assayed over $780,
600 to the ton. But little work has
been done on the property and the
late heavy fall of snow has prohibit
ed entrance to the district for the
time being, but it is expected that
work will begin there during July.
Disaster Peak is one of the Oldest
camps in the state and years ago it
produced a great deal of placer

a number of years. The placer. judg-
ing by the specimens exhibited, APP

DEVELOPING THE ELKO
NATURAL SOAP" DEPOSIT

Abner j. Mcdaniel, who promoted
the deal for the natural soap" mine
near Elko, returned this morning
from a trip to that place. The prop
erty has been taken over by the Ne
vada Natural Product company and
Mr.. Mcdaniel. who retains a large
interest. is experimenting the work
of opening up the deposit, prepare
tory to installing a plant to prepare
the product for market. The natural
soap" is a clay, the principal com
mercial use of which is in the re-
fining of oils and fats, taking the
place of Fuller's earth, which it
greatly eXcels for that purpose. The
clay is also used as a base for fine
toilet soaps. The deposit is said to
be practically i~neXhaustible and the
commercial possibilities of the propo-
sition are immense. The company ex-
poets to put the product on the mar
ket in a short time.-Humboldt Star.

LEAD AND ZINC IN OKLAHOMA.

Oklahoma was the only n of the
central states which showed a larger
output of both lead and zinc in 1913
than in 1912. The value of the sill
yer, lead and zinc produced at mines
in Oklahoma for the year 1913, ac-
cording to ]. p. Dunlop of the United
States Geological Survey, was 81,
.S55,217, compared with $1,101, 042
in 1912. The increased yield of lead
and zinc in 1913 was due entirely to
operations in the Miami field. Drill
ing operations were conducted over
a wide area and resulted in finding
some extensive bodies of mineralized
ground. the sinking of new shafts,
and the erection of concentrating
plants.

UNDERGROUND WATERS
NEAR DEM|NG, new mex.

Were it not for many windmllls
in sight the travellers on trains cross
ing the great desert valley of Min
bres River near Deming, New Mex
leo. would not suspect that this re-
gjcn has a water supply. 1t has been
found in recent years that a wide
area of this valley is underlain by
deposits of sand and gravel contain
ing large volumes of water that can
be pumped to the surface and util-
ized for irrigation. OF late many
settlers have taken homesteads near
Deming and in adjoining districts ex-
tending south through Columbus to
the Mexican line, and there is great
demand for land in which water is
available. About 800 wells have
been sunk, many pumps installed,
and considerable successful irrigation
accomplished. There is, however, a
limit to the area underlain by water
at moderate depth and in sufficient
volume for irrigation, and it is very
important for present and prospective
settlers to know where water sup
plies may be procured. To this end
N. II. barton, a g%eolOgist of the
United States geological survey, has
made an examination of Luna cOun-
ty and written a detailed report
which will be published as soon as
possible. Meanwhile an abstract Of
this report has been prepared and
Just issued by the survey as Water
Supply Paper 345-C, a part of the
contributions to the NEUROLOGY of
the United atStes, 1914" 1t con-
tains brief statements as to the ex-
tent and thickness of the water-bear-
ing deposits, the source and volume
OF the water, the rate of movement
of underground water, the depletion
of the supply, and the quality of the
water 1t gives also a description of
conditions found in some representa-
tive wells in various parts of the
county and an account of some unsuc-
cessful attempts to develop artesian
flows by deep behring's

FARM FACTS.
BY Peter Radford,

National Lecturer, Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of
America.
Those who still toll are the chosen
people of Cod.
Farming Is as old as the human
race and yet it is in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever yet adj
vanced beyond the agricultural de-
velopment
No farmer is successfully who
thinks more of his barn than he does
his home.
The development of the farmer him
self must precede the development
of the ground he tills
The most beautiful fact in The
farmers work is that everything bN
plants is a lesson of faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of his neighbor;
his GREAT business is getting ahead
of himself.
We must give to the people who
1live on the farms the same educa-
tional advantages for their children
as those of the city enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency
of much potentiality because the
rural life movement is religious as
well as industrial and social.
There should be social and in
dustrial survey of every community
the pastor. the teacher. the school
and The church officiaT are they
who should make such survey.
In the recent survey of the commu
nifty in New England the average in
come of the 154 farmers who had a
common school education was $229
while the average income of the 1872
farmers in the same locality with a
high school education was $422 an
nually. This was worth to each OF
the farmers who possessed it $253
each year.
