OPENING NICE
LITTLE GOLD PROSPECT

G.. w. Knierim, who has for several
years been holding on to and devel-
oping a gold property twelve or thir-
teen miles south of Yerington, is much
encouraged with what he has develop
ed in the past couple of weeks. He
has a shaft down l80 feet and has
drifted about so feet on a two-foot
ledge. The trend of this ledge is north
and south and it lies between a gran
lite wall on the west and basalt wall
on the east The ore carries mainly
gold values and some little silver, and,
while assays as high as $50 and 500
have been obtained, the entire ledge
will average about $40 or SIS. There
are four claims in the property and
it is nicely located for economical de-
velopment. 1t is but short distance
from the Copper Belt railroad and the
electric power line. which runs to
Pine Grove and Rockland, passes over
this ground at distance of only a
few hundred feet from the shaft. Mr..
Knierim has discovered a fine flowing
spring which, with development, will
give water enough for all domestic
purposes and also furnish l0Ostamp
mill. Two or three parties are hgur-
ing on taking lease on this property
and one of them may have done so
at this writing.

GALLAGHER MINE LEASED

A couple of weeks ago c. A. Hyne
and Chas. Weiss took lease on the
old Pat Gallagher copper property in
Mason Pass and have been diligently
developing a two-foot vein of ore ever
since This vein is a rich one, the
ore averaging IA per cent copper, and
the boys have already taken out and
stored quite bunch of it preparatory
to shipping to some point where it
can be reduced. This property is an
old one and has been worked, off and
on for many years past, producing ore
that was formerly shipped to the Sell
by plant in California and to salt Lake
City. With the smelter at Thompson
running this property would now be
sending ore to it out of which the
leasers would be making a nice little
piece of money

GOING INTO HOG
RAISING BUSINESS

Superintendent AL Clifford is now
feeding on the Mason Valley ranch of
the Antelope Valley Land & Cattle
Company several carloads of hogs
that by midwinter will be in splendid
condition for the packers. A plant is
now being constructed for cooking
all the feed of these hogs Mr.. Gift
ford intends to devote considerable
attention to the production of pork
on the local unit of the company )
land. Hog raising on such a large
scale as will be attempted is an inno-
walton on this ranch, as well as in
Mason Valley. Heretofore cattle and
horses were the principal stock raised
on the old Miller & Lux property, but
Mr.. Clifford is up-to-date in manage
ment and ranch economy and all this
fine packing house maerial will be
practically net gain, as it will be fin
ished on what has heretofore gone to
waste. Modern methods will be fol-
lowed; all grain for the pigs will be
ground and all root crops cooked, and
grain and roots mixed in the perfect
ly balanced ration which scientific in
vestigation has proven to be the most
economical and profitable In addi-
ton to the herd of fattening hogs
Mr. Clifford has stock herd compos-
ed of Berkshires, Poland Chinas and
Durocs, and as an experiment, one
fine SOW of the giant Chester White
type, and each of the different breeds
will have at its head a good, register
ed sire. 1t is an assured fact that this
Mason Valley ranch will be known in
well as for its fine cattle and horses.

TEACH BOYSA
TRADE AND GIRLS
TOBE HOUSEWIVES

An article in the Times OF a couple
of weeks ago called attention to the
matter of manual training i'll the
schools. 1t was to my liking and well
written. For many years the schools
of the country have been run on the
principal that their great object was
10 prepare the young people for the
University, but there has come into
vogue new adea, viz: that the school
is to prepare the young people to live
happily, usefully and successfully. A
very few of them ever go to the Uni
versity, but they all have to live i'll a
world where knowledge is OF vast inn
portance in helping them TO be OF
more service and give more use OF
life. There are many schools III
Europe and in our large cities that
are now being operated on these plans
and with very good results
We are at present trying to do all
we can in this line We are directly
preparing stenographers, bookkeepers.
telegraphers, school teachers, and IN
the science department paving the
way for special instructions in agri-
culture and various mechanical en-
ployments. We are hoping for special
equipment to enable us to do further
work in this line in the near future.
The reason for it and the import
ancc of il in this particular school
j. that the scholars must probably go
elsewhere if they want 10 I'LL places
worthy OF their ideals. This is no re
Election on the people Of this county
but grows out of the fact that there
is not enough of business or trade op-
porunity here TO give employment to
any great number For this reason
To do Justice TO the sons and daugh
ters OF Lyon county they ought to be
given a chance to prepare themselves
for some line of skilled labor, so that
they can secure profitable situations
and opportunities for advancement in
some other locality. Some OF them
will remain on the ranches, but these
who do will need special preparation,
The farmer OF the present and the
future is different man from the
farmer OF the past He must know
soils. insects and cattle, he must be
a mechanic. a veterinary. a business
man an da manager II he cannot be
all these he must inevitably fail. be
cause he will be unable to compete
with those who can.
Our high schools ought to prepare
for this or at least begin a course
directly tending to this result
This can be done without great ini
tial expense, and at a moderate cost
made a permanent part OF the school
system
The immediate requirement would
be carpenter and shop equipment
for about ten; proper place for the
department and in the near future a
special instructor. The outlay would
not be large. and the returns will be
immense
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
matter will not be allowed to drop
until this addition has been made.

A resolution was ordered drawn to
present to the State Board of Rev
enue asking permission to borrow
money-$l5 ,000-to run the High
School for 1914 and 1915. This course
was made necessary by the Tax Com
mission refusing to correct slight
error made by the county in not GER
tifying the budget for this purpose
1t has made the county borrow money
and pay interest on it when the ex-
pense could all have been covered by
tax rate that would have raised the
required funds.
A. G.. Macallan having filed a pet
tition for recount of the ballots cast
for Assemblymen the Board proceed
ed to make the recount The re-
count resulted in the loss of one vote
for Mr.. Steele, who had defeated Mr.
Macallan by 8 votes as shown by the
returns of election.
Board adjourned to meet January
2, 1915

THE WALKER RIVER
PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION
is ORGANIZED

A very enthusiastic meeting of local
ranchmen met in Rink Hall here last
Sunday afternoon to see if some
means could be devised of disposing
of the surplus farm products of this
| district 1t is a fact that shipping
the only plan possible has proved
very improbable in the past to our
growers, and the plan of shipping on
the consignment plan has, especially
of late, proven very unsatisfactory.
After some informal discussion, Dis
trict Attorney N. w. Willis was called
to preside, and in a short address,
stated some of the serious disad-
vantages under which our ranchmen
have to market their produce and
showed them many advantages to be
gained by organization, and by a
combined, or cooperative system OF
packing and marketing. After listen
ing to Mr. Willis address the audience
was very enthusiastic, and resolution
to Immediately proceed to organize
a Cooperative Producers Associa-
ton, was carried unanimously
The following officers were elected
to act until their successors are ap-
pointed: " c. Bernard, President;
Andrew Grulli, Treasurer; p McCaf-
frey, Secretary, and George Friedhoff,
Ambro Rosaschi, John MCGOWAN,
Arthur Maionchi and Harry Barrett,
Directors.
This action of the local growers, it
is beliveed will, to great extent, solve
the ever troublesome problem of bring
ing the producer and consumer togeth-
er to the mutual advantage of both,
and without the robbery of each, as
has been the rule heretofore. 1t is
| hundreds of carloads of hrst-class
stock arriving on the California mark
cts, were sold, and not line of notice
in any of the Coast trade journals,
| but when, as occasionally happened,
, lot of faulty stuff found its way to
| coast markets, howl always went
| up that would shame coyote seren-
ade The story is told of one grower
here, who shipped car of first-class
| potatoes to coast commission house,
at an understood price of $40 ton;
the car arrived in good shape-no
kick anywhere-but the commission
firm refused to pay more than SIS
ton; a long series of correspondence,
protests, excuses and diplomatic" ex-
change took place, and finally our
grower went down to the coast town,
called at the address emblaZoned on
the firms letter heads, and found-one
room l0xl2, one writing desk, and one
nice little typewriter girl-well, the
house could not be profitably moved,
the desk was not worth taking away,
aud our poor grower was married
man, and Yerington being 800 miles
west of Salt Lake, the pretty little
typewriter girl was not an available
asset. Now this is not joke, nor
is it any exaggeration of the expert
ences of several of our shippers of
ranch produce, when the produce was
consigned to the California commits
sion firms.
