5000 Secured From
a Three Days Run

Carson Appeal: Walter Whitmore
at present residing in this city, is in
receipt of letters from Copper can
yon, the new placer field near Battle
Mountain, in which it is stated that
two friends of his, taking advantage
of the wet season, stored up a suf-
ficient supply of water to rock and
sluice the remains of a big dry wash
dump. from which they secured over
5000 in a three days run. The dirt
is very rich, the letters state, and
were water always available an i'm
mense production would result.
Quite a number of people are To-
Gated in the section, but are unable
to do much because of the recent
storms and because of the litigation
pending, which has tied up a big Sec
ton of the field. When the present
legal troubles are settled it is prom
ised that the camp will make a con-
siderable stir in the way of produc-
ton.

Marsh of the bureau of plant indus
try, Washington, ID. c., for a series
of l~antern-slide lectures on stock
poisoning plants, to be given at points
in California and Nevada. says the
Journal. DIR. Marsh will deliver the
lectures in person and will tell the
stockmen who come to hear him all
that his department has worked out
on this subject.
The subject of poisonous plants is
one of great Importance to California
and Nevada stockmen, and it is ex-
pected that interest will be shown by
good attendance at each meeting.

Mines Supplied By Parcel Post

When the 50-lb. parcel post rate in
the first zone went into effect Jan. l,
mining companies in the Mongolon
district in New Mexico made prepar-
alton for the shipment of their sup
plies under the new regulation. says
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Oil was to be shipped in 50-lb. cans,
and other supplies for the mines and
mills. with the exception of dyna-
mite, could be delivered by parcel
post at S1.0S per 100-lbs. The pres
ent freight rate, and one that it is
claimed shows a loss to the freight
ers, is $1.75, The government rate
would be 81 cents cheaper and with
expeditions service. Up to the pres
ent the government contractor has
sustained a loss of $10,0 900 due to the
parcel post. Officials of the postal
service are in Silver City and Mon
COLON Investigating this complicated
condition. Meanwhile the Mongolon
mining companies are preparing for
the shipment of all supplies possible
to send under the new regulation,
eve to having hay delivered in the
limit-size packages.

THE SHORTAGE OF MEAT
Large Decrease In Cattle and Sheep Since
1910AWhere Il the Remedy

Large Decrease In Cattle and Sheep Since
1910-Whsre IL the Remedy
That some widespread movement
should be made to increase the meat
supply of this country is plainly evil
dent. Shortage of meat animals in
the United States was strikingly
demonstrated by comparative figures
made public by the department of
agriculture, showing that there are
nine less beef cattle, seven less sheep
and three less hogs now for each 100
persons in the country than there
were in 1910. This means that it
would take Is. 259, 900 more meat
cattle, sheep and swine to give the
present population the same supply
that the census of 1910 showed to
exist.
While the population of the country
is estimated to have increased from
81. 972, 600 to SO, GAG, 900 in the past
three years, the number of beef
cattle has decreased 1873 per cent
and of sheep Sc per cent. The
number of swine increased slightly,
1.3 per cent, but it did not keep up
with the proportional growth of
population.
In spite Of the reduced number it
is estimated that the value of the
cattle in the country increased from
81, 534, 900, 900 in 1910 to 81, $3.50, O87,-
600 on January 1.
This increase in value, however,"
the departments statement pointed
out docs not necessarily mean that
a farmer or stock raiser is making
any more profit. On the contrary,
the cost of production has increased
more rapidly than the increase in the
selling price Of livestock. Producers
of farm products are the last to re-
ceive any benefit from higher prices
paid by consumers. yet they are
among the first to increase produc-
ton if there is a prospect of realiz-
ing better returns"

TO ASSIST NEVADA RANCHERS

Information on farming topics is to
be given out at the University of Ne
vada henceforth from an information
bureau instead of in less business
like and more haphazard manner,
as in the past, says the Reno Gazette.
Director S. b. Doten, of the Expert
mental Station, has instituted the
change, following the shifting of de-
partments in his charge into new
rooms and the installation of a new
scientific laboratory for his own use.
1t is estimated that an average of
a dozen inquiries a day reach the
University from all over the State,
covering every branch of farming
and household management from
the best way to plant alfalfa to the
best way to get rid of insect pests.
Under the new system these inquir-
les will be answered by n person,
who, though not an expert, will
gather the required information
from experts of the Experimental
Station staff or from the extensive
agricultural libraries under their
direction. By %centralizing this work
1t is believed better service with less
work and duplication will result.

When the State experimental dry
farm was established at Elko, it was
alleged by some that the expense
was needless, but now comes the tes-
timony of several dry farmers, who
had followed the admonitions of the
experimentalists and are crediting
their their non-irrigated farms with
a yield of grain hardly exceeded by
land owners who had water. The
wheat is said to be harder and of a
better quality.

Deeth Commonwealth: Already
we hear of plans for future cam
paigns in which the men will all be
given an opportunity to be gallant
and offer their seats to the ladies'.
In the future we can go to the polls
and carefully choose the ladies we pre-
fer to vote for. One man has already
gone so far as to select a portion of
his ticket for four years hence and
it reads like this: For Governor
Miss Anne Martin of Reno; for Lieu
tenant Governor--Mrs. Hugh Brown

Miss Felice Cohn of Carson City; for
Secretary of State--Miss Bird Wilson

Ida M. Nicley of Deeth; for Super

TRAIN SERVICE AGAIN RESUMED
First Regular Train In Nearly
Three Weeks Arrives in Eureka
Wednesday Afternoon

The Eureka-Nevada Railway Com
pany succeeded in getting a train
through from Palisade on Wednes-
day afternoon of this week. the first
regular train to reach Eureka since
Friday, January %. The three
bridges and several small washouts
of the track in the north end of the
county caused by the flood waters in
Pine Valley had been repaired and a
train was started out from Palisade
Tuesday morning for Eureka. All
went well until the train neared Gar
den Pass summit, when it was found
that the track for about two miles
on each side of the summit was cover
ed with a sheet of ice that stopped
further progress.
Conductor Will Hawkins connected
! up his portable phone instrument
with Palisade, and after explaining
the situation to Manager Sexton,
was ordered to back his train down
to Alpha station and remain there
for the night.
Pedro Urquisa of the Livestock
Company was the only passenger on
board, and he joined with the train
crew in making themselves as com
Portable as was possible in the day
coach. Conductor Hawkins arrang-
ed for supper and breakfast at the
Boitano ranch, a short distance from
the station, and with plenty of fueI
to keep the coach warm the delay
caused no hardships.
Manager Sexton started Dan Dow
ney out from Palisade early the next
morning with an extra engine and
| hanger to cut the ice from the rails,
and with the two engines coupled to-
gether they came through the -four
miles of ice covered track on the
summit in short order and the train
| reached Eureka Wednesday after
noon at 2 O'Clock. The train left
here for Palisade on its return at
$3.50 the same afternoon and the trip
down was made without further
| trouble.
Yesterdays train arrived a couple
of hours late, but Conductor Haw-
kins says he does not anticipate any
further serious trouble on account
of the flood waters. While there is
considerable water running in Pine
Creek and through the valley, he
does not think there is enough snow
left to cause any great damage IN
the run off.
