Dear Mr.. Cline: At Mr.. Sco-

herewith copies of some correspond
ence between Mr.. Scofeld and the
Bureau OF crop estimates. regarding
farm products of alfalfa hay in Ne
yada. This correspondence is for
the most part, self-explanatory. We
have felt that 1t might be worth
your while to investigate the market
possibilities at some of the places
mentioned In Estabrook's letter,
where the price OF alfalfa is reported
to have been high. We doubt
whether these estimates have any
special value In connection with
marketing the present surplus of al
falfa hay on the Truckee-Carson
but II may be that satisfactory mar
kets can be found for small por-
tion of that surplus. II seemed to
us that the three places which might
be worth your while to investigate
are Las Vegas. Elko and Eureka
You can probably find out about the
situation at these places by corre-
spending with the postmasters. ask

buyers. l shall be glad to learn of

Dear Sir: beg to acknowledge
receipt of your letter of January IL,
refer ring to quotation of $3.50 for
alfalfa hay in Nevada. appearing In
Farmers Bulletin 645. page Al.
The Bureau receives each month
several thousands schedules similar
to the one enclosed. In November,
four reporters in Nevada gave a
quotation on alfalfa hay, as follows:
One from Clark county .....s16.00
One from Lincoln county -. 1900
One from Nye county .... 1900
One from White Pine county 20.O0
Our Field Agent in Nevada has
already called our attention to
these extremely high quotations.
Investigation shows tha they come
from portions of Nevada that grow

OF the state. You probably know
that mere is a wide range of prices

In December we received replies
on alfalfa hay from IA places. as

The necessary funds for the con-
struction of the building. namely
$4,000. including the cost of the
interior fixtures and furnishings
were set aside at the meeting of the
banks directorate several weeks
ago. and with the advent of suitable
weather for concrete construction
bids will be asked for upon this i'm
pOrtant project. This building fund
Is not q part of the banks active
capital and its setting aside for the
proposed building will in no way in
terfere with the general business
policy of the bank, which will con-
tinue to be as formerly, sound, safe
and conservative. and along lines
calculated for the best interests of
the bank patrons and of the district
II serves. The decision to build
comes a. an aftermath of eight years
Of successful banking. The Church
Ill County bank is admittedly one OF
the safest, staunchest country banks
anywhere. Appropos of this state
ment, the late Eugene Howell in the
last few years of his lifetime Ne
vada's state bank examiner, stated
on the occasion of one of his last
visits to the local bank that it had
the best and cleanest line of busi-
ness, most conservative loans and
was withal the most admirably con-
Quoted financial institution within
this state, which testimonial is we'll
merited without a question of doubt.
The decision to build Fallon S
handsomest and most expensive
building as home for the growing
Churchill County Bank is largely
due to the enterprising management
of the Williams estate and the other
enterprising citizens connected with
the banks management. Geo. B.
Williams. president, and Former
State Senator Thos. Dolf, vice-presi-
dent; and State Senator and Mrs. w.
A. Keddie and Miss Cora Williams,
of the Williams estate management,
bank directors ali have an extreme
pride In anything that will tend to
advance Fallon's material interests.
Likewise word of commendation is
not amiss for Cashier c. w. Foote,
upon whom will largely fall the di-
rection of the new enterprise in
volved in the construction of the
proposed bank building and whose
careful management has made it
possible for the bank to increase its
realty holdings so substantially at
this time.

LEGISLATOR MISSING

Friends of H. c. Bolsinger are be-
coming greatly alarmed over his pro-
tracted absence in Old Mexico. as
no word has been received from him
or his party since the goth of last
December. Something unusual has
transpired as Mr.. Bolsinger, being
a member of the legislature, would
surely have been in Denver ere this
to take his seat.
Mr.. Bolsinger, James A. Shinn and
H. Mansfield left Denver Nov. 23d for
a point in Old Mexico, "a miles from
the town of Almos, to examine the
NuevO del Orc mine, owne ed principal
ly by Mart Watrous, of Denver. Mr..
Bolsinger wrote his wife from Nogal-
es, Ariz., just as they were about to
cross the border line. Mrs. Shinn
received letter from her husband
on Dec. goth, written at Almos and
dated Dec. 9Th. Since these letters,
no communication has been received
from either Mr. Bolsinger or Mr..
Shinn.
The local Masonic lodge, of which
Mr.. Bolsinger is a member, have in
terested themselves in his absence
and are endeavoring to hear from
him Through the Mexican consul in
Denver. A telegram has also been
sent to w. ]. Bryan, secretary of
state at Washington, asking him to
use his efforts in locating the miss
ing ones.
Upon leaving home, Mr.. Bolsinger
told his wife he expected to be in
Mexico about two weeks and had no
intention whatever of remaining un-
til after Christmas There has been
some fighting among the Mexicans
in the state of Sonora, in the vicin-
ity of the mine where Mr.. Bolsinger
went to make his examination, but it
is not thought that he would concern
himself in this. 1t may be that he
has been detained on account of the
floods that have prevailed in south
ern Arizona and down into Mexico,
which have put railroads and tele-
graph lines out of commission. Then
again. it's possible that Mr.. Bolsing
er and Gen. Villa are working out
some scheme whereby Mr.. Bolsing-
er is to become president of Mex

sarily scarce in the sister republic

ExHAUsTLESS MINING RICHES

Colorado gold mines have at hand
a plethora OF loose surplus change
that would make the eyes even of
Crcesus shtne with envy. AS a mat
ter OF fact, if that lcng departed
peutocrat were alive today, he would
be only piker compared with many
OF the modern millionaires who made
their fortunes in the mining industry.
That the mines in question are
highly prosperous is evidenced not
cnly by their regular large dividend
disbursements, but also by extra holi-
day payments to stockholders. These
special distributions amount to many
Thousands of dollars and will do much
toward keeping the wolf from the
door" of lucky owners of shares.
In view of the rich strikes recent
y made in the Cripple Creek dis
trict and in other localities, to-
gether with the certainty Of great
ly increased general activity in min
ing. the output of the Colorado gold
mines in 1915 should easily eclipse
all Nformer records.
Although a large amount of divi-
dend money is sent to eastern min
ing stock investors, a considerable
sum is disbursed to Colorado stock
holders, thereby assuring important
new capital for local investment and
development purposes. These. distrib-
utions occur with unfail!ng regularity
year after year, and have added some
hundreds OF millions of dollars to the
riches of the world. The Rocky
mountains are indeed a stupendous
asset to this country and to the West
in particular. Their rock-ribbed treas
ure vaults still contain wealth beyond
computation-wealih that is destined
to accomplish wonders in the up
building OF Western states and the
enrichment of distant communities.

Nevada 4, Russell Gulch 3, and from
outside districts. 2. Two of these were
from mine accidents, two from sui
cides, and one from shooting of self.
Eleven bodies from other points we're
shipped into the county for burial.
No inquests were -eld during the

county during the year. of which 26
were male and 21 females, among
them being a pair of twins. This
