GOLDF|tLD GETTING BETTER

Discoveries recen sly made in the
Goldfeld mining district have es-
tahished the fact that commercial
ore bodies exist at great depth and
have added years to the life of
the country's greatest gold camp.
Goldfield is in better position to-
day than it has been for years and
the judgement Of the men who
have furnished the funds for de-
velopment at depth has been vindi-
Gated in no uncertain way. Not
only Goldfeld but the whole State
OF Nevada owe them a debt of
gratitude. Their unfiagging faith
in the potentialities of this camp
will no doubt add more millions to
the wealth of thu world than was
formerly considered possible, many
more men will be given employ
ment at good wages and the camp
will continue In its era of prosper

Sugar Cane.

Sugar cane is a species OF grass.
The stalks or canes resemble corn
stalks of regions further north.
Great quantities Of cane are grown
In Louisiana aud other southern
states. AS the canes approach matur.
ity they throw out a long smooth hol-
low joint termed the arrow. As the
joints ripen the leaves wither and fall
away with the stem. The juice is ex-
tracted by being pressed In a sugar
mill between several heavy rollers.
The juice is forced out by pressure
and is Immediately boiled down to
prevent fermentation.

A JUST VERDICT

AT 9:25 Tuesday night, the jury
in the Salgoda murder case brought
In a verdict that forfeits the life of
the young man to the state for the
brutal and unprovoked murder of
Bessie Andy, a young Indian girl,
on Thanksgiving night of last year.
The murder of this Indian girl
was done in a public street of Elko
IN the presence of a number of
people, some Of whom related the
story of the crime to the jury.
The trial of the case was pecul-
la. 7 e defendants attorneys ad-
mitted his guilt and directed their
efforts toward saving his life.
They contended that the crime lack
ed the elements of generalization
and deliberation Although this was
the only defense that could be pre-
sented, the defendant took the
witness stand and swore that the
girl was killed by a half-breed
Mexican. who had stabbed her in
trying to stab him. This destroyed
the contention of bis attorneys.
The verdict of the jury is no
tempered with mercy, because
there was nothing in the evidence
upon which a nerciful verdict
could be based. That the verdict
will meet with approval of a large
majority Of those who are familiar
with the case we do not question.
From a juror, we learn that the
first ballot stood eleven for murder
in the first degree to one for the
second degree, and that the second
ballot was unanimous. The first
ballot on the penalty stood 9 to 8
for death and the second was unan-
imous.
When the verdict of the jury was
read, the defendant maintained the
stnlid Indifference that character
lied him during the trial. Whether
his nerve will stay with him next
Saturday. when Judge Taber gives
him the choice between death by
hanging or shooting is a question.

WILL RECLAIM LARGE ACREAGE

The Adams McGill Company

Sunnyside in Nye County, about rs
miles from Ely, has recently COM
plrted the construction of a dam
one-half a mile in length across the
valley, which has conserved the
waters of the stream, and forms q
lake two and a half miles in length.
1t is estimated that enough water
isl held in storage to irrigate 1000
acres of land. The springs have
an average flow of 800 miners
inches which Of itself will irrigate
1000 acres of land during an aver

are considered the largest hot

waters of which have heretofore
been allowed to run to waste, ex-
cert a small portion which was used
for irrigating purposes. From the

cultural pursuits. The Sunnyside
