Death of RobertsLogan.

R. Fl. Logan, another one of the
Nevada pioneers, passed away at the
Arlington Hotel, in Carson, quite sud
denly last Saturday morning, from an
attack of pneumonia. Mr. Logan was
native of Scotland, aged 81 years,
and came to Nevada in the early days
of the Comstock and was identified
with that camp and the mills on the
Carson river for many years, making
his home at the Brunswick mill He
was in the employ of the Bonanza
people up to the time most of the
mills on the Carson river closed down
and were dismantled He was also
interested in the old camp of Como, in
this county, and built mill and cy-
anide plant there IS years ago, being
very optimistic about the future of
that camp. R. H. Logan served Orms-
by county both as Senator and As
semblyman, if our memory is correct,
and he was man whom everybody
admired and respected for his integ-
rity and pleasant disposition He ac-
quired no great fortune, what money
he made being spent in the develop
ment of mining properties in the State
which did not turn out as valuable as
he expected.

Not So Bad as Reported.

The Times received a dispatch from
Reno yesterday morning stating that
a report was in circulation there to the
effect that Yerington was surrounded
by sea of water and that there was
danger of a great food, We did have
some rain out this way and some
snow in the mountains, and the river
is still pretty high, while the roads
are nothing to speak of to make time
over But the cold snap has stopped
the snow from melting rapidly and
the river has not yet got out of its
banks. The roads are gradually dry
ing up, and unless we get more warm
rains and winds there will be no dan
ger of the river doing much damage
We have had some moisture out this
way, however-more than at any time
since the winter of $4,000.

WILL PUT IN WELL-BORING
MACHINE.
Wells to be Bored for Irrigation Pur-
poses in Mason Valley.

Harvey Trenam and p ]. Leverich,
of this place, placed an order this
week with the Lisle Manufacturing
Company, of Clarinda, Iowa, for
be here in the course of three or four
weeks. This machine is something new
in the line of well-borers, and is fitted
up so that hole can be bored from
twelve to forty inches in diameter to
depth of $50 feet, or hole up to six
inches in diameter can be drilled to
depth of 1000 feet The machine is
a simple affair, not very expensive,
and can be operated with small gas
olene engine or a horse sweep. 1t
sets on 4-wheel truck and can easily
be hauled from place to place by two
horses. Horse power will be used on
the machine here when it arrives. The
buyers of the machine have consider
able work in sight for it, both in this
valley and in the newly settling up
portion of Smith Valley. These ma
chimes have been doing good work in
the ard and semi-arid sections of New
Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, North
Dakota, California and the Northwest
Territory, and 16-inch we'll at Win
nemucca, this State, bored by one of
the machines, is giving a pumping
flow of 1900 gallons per minute.
1t would seem that this machine
is just the thing needed in this dis
trict. Throughout this valley and
Smith Valley stratas of water are
found at various distances of from 80
to 200 feet below the surface of the
ground A 40-inch we'll sunk to depth
which would encounter several stratas
of water and the casing perforated to
get the flow from each strata, would
furnish, with small pump and gas
olene engine or electric motor, suffic-
lent water to irrigate quite an extern
sive ranch 1t would be the best irri-
eating system farmer could possibly
have for it would be sure There
would be no depending on the rainfall
or snow in the mountains Besides it
would be less expensive to maintain,
after the initial cost of installation,
than are the bitches that now furnish
water Ga portion of the time) from the
river. Again it would do much to
drain the land from which the water is
pumped, thereby keeping it in better
condition, and the water would be
clean and free from all weed seeds,
making the land far more easy to take
care of.
With enough of these wells in this
valley it would be an incentive for
the T. R. G. E. Co to extend branch
lines to the farms and furnish the
cheapest kind of power for pumps to
take the water from these wells.
Furthermore, somebody in the val
ley might be induced to drive 6-inch
hole down thousand feet in an effort
to get artesian water, which can GER
tainly be had here if sufficient depth
is attained.

SOME FEATURES OF THE NEW
EXPRESS RATES.
Shipments Will be Divided Into First
and Second Class.

Much interest will be taken in the
new express rates and classification
of shipments that go into effect on
! February l. The Merchants Associa
ton of New York after a report from
one of its committees having the sub
| ject in charge, has announced the
principal features of the new sched-
ules. Among other matters of import
ance to shippers is the provision that
the express companies are required
| to send goods over the most direct
routes in point of time. Heretofore
it was said, the transportation was
| over the route, sometimes roundabout
which was most advantageous to the
carrier with little regard to rapidity
of service. The association says:
| Under the new tariff, rates are des-
| ignated first and second-class. The
/ first-class rates apply to what has
! heretofore been known as 'merchan-
disc" and the second-clas rates ap-
I ply to food products and certain bev-
erages, and are made Is per cent of
/ the hrst-class charge
! Shippers of second-class matter
! should be careful to describe their
4 packages so as to insure the lower
rate. For instonce, if box is tender
ed to an express company without any
description of the contents, the first
/ class rate will be applied, whereas,
If it contains canned goods, and is
| described as box of canned goods,
/ the second class or lower rate will be
applied.
Heretofore it has not been neces-
sary for shipper to place his name
upon the package sent by express, but
after February | this will be required,
and in the event of his refusing to
do SO, the charges must be prepaid
! The object of this is not only to en-
able the express company to identify
/ the shipment in case of its going as
tray or being improperly marked, but
/ also for the purpose of enabling the
company to notify the shipper should
the package be refused.
An important rule in the new classi-
/ hcation provides that the express COM
| panies shall notify both the shipper
and the consignee in the event of a
peckage being lost or destoyed, and
that the shipper shall be promptly
notified in the event of package be-
ing refused by the consignee
Under the new classification, the
express companies are required i'm
mediately to acknowledge the receipt
Of claim presented to it, and within
/ six months of the date thereof TO
notify the claimant in writing of the
disposition made of the claim.
In the past the express companies
/ have demanded a minimum of TWEEN
ty pounds for each package, where
two or more packages have been for
warded by one shipper to one con
signee. That is to say, if shipper
forwarded one package weighing IS
pounds and three additional packages
weighing five pounds each, instead
of charging on a total of 40 pounds,
the actual weight, each of the five
pound packages would be estimated
at 20 pounds, and the shipment
would be billed at a weight of IS
pounds instead of teh actual weight
Under the new rules the express
companies are required to assess
charges on actual weight when the

Mining News Scarce.

Mining news is rather scarce these
days. The big properties are work
ing as usual and the smelter running
its regular tonnage. The weather has
been such that little development has
been going on on the smaller proper
ties. However, there is an optimistic
sentiment in the district and there will
be some good reports to make in
few weeks, without doubt.

The Miami people, who are pros
pecting the Empire Nevada ground

hole in the property last week and are
making good Roadway with it. The
second hole was not sunk as deep as
the first one, quite, but the result
seems to be perfectly satisfactory.
