SUFFRAGETTS TO HAVE SACK

A Washington dispatch of July p,
says: Women suffragists will send
$1,000 into Nevada to aid the cause
They expect to raise $4,000 through
contributions of old gold and silver
pieces such as jewelry and the like
from advocates of the cause who
have been invited to deposit it in a
melting pot The proceeds will be
turned over to the Philadelphia mint.
The Director of the mint told the suf
fragists that he would give them new
coin from the mint to the value of the
melted metal received from them"

lack BENNETT, WHO
SHOT AGENT HAI.MAN.
GIVES HIMSELF UP.

lack Bencntt, the Indian who shot
Agent Hailman at the Walker Lake
Reservation on the 10Th Of last month
and escaped to the hills, sent word .
Bob Dyer, at Schurz, Monday, that he
would give himself up if Dyer would
come after him Bob came ~ Yering
ton and Bennett came to Mason and
surrendered, Coi:ig to Schurz Wednes-
day with Dyer and Special Agent Nc
Conihe. The voluntary surrender of
Bennett, together with the assertion of
the fugitive that he had no general
quarrel with the white people as a
class, but looked upon one as his
trusted friend, emphasizes the fact Of
his peaceable character. And apropos
of that fact it seems pertinent for this
paper to add that had Hailman used
just ordinary common sense and jus
tice in the conduction of affairs at the
Reservation the trouble with Jack
Bennett would never have occurred
His reported refusal to permit the In
dians to sell, or kill their beef cattle
during June, while they were in prime
condition, which much disturbed the
Indians, is one example of his lack of
common sense. His absurd request
hat local butcher lasso and tie down
on an ordinary platform scale the beef
steers he was trying to buy, is an
other This provoked all kinds of mer-
riment among the Indian bystanders
and subjected the Agent to all kinds OF
ridicule. Hailman's dictatorial meth
DDS with the Indians caused one of
them to remark to a white man the
other day. Huh. him all same school
teacher; all time going to punish
somebody" The arbitrary rules he has
imposed with regard to Indians going
and coming when seeking employment
off the Reservation are also absurd
under the conditions here existing
The whites and Indians have dealt
with each other ON terms of equality
and friendship in this section for the
past 50 years, and to now have lot
of unnecessary rules devised and en-
forced would be as funny as end jokes,
did they not cause such serious re-
suits. His frivolous methods contrast
so markedly with the methods of his
predecessors, and those of Special
Agen McConihe, now in charge. that
the wonder is expressed on all sides
that he should have escaped trouble
as long as he did. An investigation
will, without doubt, be had and Hail
man be removed. which will not be
considered a calamity by either the
whites or Indians of this section

NEW POSTOFFICE-ARTESIA.

George Deveraux has been appoint
ed postmaster at Artesia, Smith Val
ley, Lyon county, and was in Yering
ton yesterday and today getting his
bond and other papers fixed SO he can
legally transact business. Artesia is
the name of a new community in
Smith Valley and is appropriately
named, being in the artesian belt of
that section. The establishment of
this postoffice does away with the
postoffice at Buckskin, but the people
of that part of the county will be
served by the office at Artesia as it is
but short distance from Buckskin.
George will perfom the duties of the
Office with accuracy and dignity and
when we went on his bond he agreed
to not read postal cards over more
than once while the party they are adj
dressed to is waiting for their delivery.

DESERT ENTRY
LAND CLAIMANTS
HAVING TROUBLE.

1t seems that some of the farmers
who have taken up government land in
the north end of Smith Valley under
the desert entry act are having some
little trouble in proving up on their
locations There are some questions
propounded by the government, on
blanks sent out, that they do not know
how to answer SO that they will be
acceptable. The section in which
these desert entries have been made
is the artesian we'll belt of Smith Val
ley and the water for irrigation is OBJ
tanned from artesian wells. A num-
Der of settlers have gone onto this
land and have bored wells and secured
at the present time water enough from
this source to irrigate a considerable
portion of the land they have filed on.
The government, it is said, requires
them to state that they have water for
all of their holdings This they can
not truthfully do at the present time,
but they have shown that eventually
sfficient water can be developed for
all of the land For instance, a set
tier has filed on 80 acres, under the
desert land act, and has developed
an artesian flow of water of 400 gal
Ions per minute. This will not irri-
gate all of the 80 acres, but is suffi-
cient for 90 acres. When this 60 acres
has been cultivated and put into al
falfa for couple of years it will not
take so much water, and at the end of
of that time the 400 gallons per mitf-sS
ute will be sufficient for the entire 80.
acres. The land department says, how
ever, that the entryman must show Il
sufficient amount of water for the en-
tire acreage before he can make proof.
This will work a hardship upon those
who have located on the land in good
faith and have gone to the expense of
developing this artesian water, and
who are confident that they can event
ually develop a sufficient supply for all
purposes The time is close at hand
for some of these settlers to prove up
on their land or lose it, and they are
wondering how they are going to sat
isfy the government Some of these
parties have put these queries up to
the Land Agent at Carson, but have re-
ceived no answer. 1t is possible hat the
queries have been sent along to Wash
+ington and that way will be found to
adjust things. but if not it is going to
be serious blow to the development
of a fine section of agricultural land
in Lyon county. 1t would seem as
though the settler ought to be the
judge of the sufficiency of water for
his land He is the one spending the
money for the development of it.
However, it is time that these entry
men knew what was going to be done
in their respective cases. They are
building up nice little farming COM
munity in the artesian belt. and we
take it that that is what Uncle Sam
vans people to do in his country, and
that he will see that no restrictions are
made nor obstacles placed in the way
of the people doing it.

GOOD CROPS.

3 George Deverattx, Ed Mollart and
Charlie Kinds were over from Smith
Valley yesterday and left for home
this morning. They report that the
hay, grain and vegetable crops, also
the fruit crop were never better in
their section. Farmers are beginning
to cut their second crop of alfalfa and
next week heading of grain will be in
full blast The artesian belt section is
looking especially good.

BRIEF MINING NEWS OF THE DISTRICT
FOR THE PAST WEEK

Nevada D Douglas-Archie ]. Orem,
General Superintendent of the Neva-
da-Douglas Co., who has just return
ed from Boston, where he has been
consulting with the company officials
and stockholders, reports that the i'll
stalling of the 500-ton unit of the new
teaching plant will begin at once and
work rushed until completed. Grad
ing has already commenced on the
sidetrack leading to the site of the
plant and will be completed in few
days. The company is going to make
the plant much larger to start with
than was at first contemplated, the
successof the experimental plant hav-
ing lead them to this decision. The
working of 500 tons of ore a day iii
this unit of the plant will mean much
to the district and be very likely to
induce other companies to put in plants
of this nature, while it is foregone
conclusion that the Nevada Douglas
plant will soon be increased to two
or four times the initial capacity. This
will mean the employment of many
more men in the district which means
larger payrolls and more money il
circulation.
Rockland-Work of installing the
new mill at the old Rockland mine
just south of Pine Grove, is being
pushed with energy. Several people
interested in the property have been
visiting the mine this week, some Of
them from Pittsburg, Pa, and Man
ager Schrader is having his hands
full guiding the work and entertain
ing and showing the visitors around.
The Truckee River General Electric
Co is extending its power line from
Pine Grove to Rockland where cleo
trio power will soon be used for min
ing and milling.
Blue Jay-John Summers, who re
Gently took three-year lease on the
old Blue Jay property on the east
side, is crowding development work
along rapidly He is running tunnel
to connect with the l00-foot level and
as soon as this is completed he will
be able to extract the ore heretofore
developed on this level Mr.. Sum
mers expects to make a good shipping
mine out of the Blue Jay and incident
ally little money for himself. He
knows the property as no one elese
does, for he was in charge of nearly
all the development work ever done
on it.
Mason Valley-At the Mason Val
ley mine the east section is looking
unusually we'll Considerable work
has demonstrated the existence Of
large bodies of commercial ore which
are now being put in shape to mine
