CHAS. J.. NELSON
DIES At JARB|DGE

A telephone message received from
Jarbidge yesterday the
death at that place Tuesday, of Chas.
j. Nelson, n of the most prominent
mining operators of the camp, and
n of the most widely known and
highly respected citizens of Elko
County.
Mr.. Nelson had been i'll with a cold
for several days but his condition was
not consideSed serious. Several were
in to see him Tuesday, among others
a trained nurse. He was cheerful and
bright, and it was thought by himself
and others that he would soon be in
his usual good health. His friends
left him, and when they returned half
an hour later they found thai death
had claimed him.
The deceased was a native OF Swed-
en- and was about forty years of age.
He had been in Elko County about
twenty years and had a host of friends
who will be shocked to learn OF his
untimely death. He was right in the
prime of manhood, full of life and
energy. and it is almost impossible to
realize that death has overtaken him.
Elko county and Jarbidge in par
ticular suffers a severe loss in the
death of Mr.. Nelson. He was a most
honorable, upright citizen, and an in
defatigueable worker. His honor and
judgment were held in such high re-
gard that various capitalists in the
east stood ready to place fortunes in
to the development of mines under
his management. He was one of those
whose word is guilt edge bond. His
honesty and integrity were above
question.
For many years Mr.. Nelson with his
brothers, Gus and Ben, operated at
Mountain City. 1t was there that the
latter met with a most distressing ac-
cident through a premature explosion
which manned him for life. When
Jarbidge was discovered Charley and

SURVEY Of UNDER
GROUND WATERS

What may be characterized as a
preliminary survey Of the under.
ground water OF Nevada is
In progress under the personal direc-
ton Of Prof. J. &. Scrugham, dean of
engineers OF the University of Neva-
da, in cooperation with the United
States Bureau Of Irrigation Inyestiga-
ton. Dean Scrugham is now in
Southern Nevada, having arrived at
Goldfeld yesterday, says the Tribune.
He proceeded at once TO Fish Lake
valley, accompanied by Fred Mechlin
and l.. u. Cults, OF the Nevada-Cali.
fornia Power company, and c. G. Pat
rick, of the Goldheld Consolidated Wa
ter company. p.
Fish Lake valley, about % miles
west of Goldfeld, is one of the most
attractive valleys of the state from the
standpoint of irrigation and agricul-
tural development possibilities. 1t has
an area of approximately 165. 900 acres
or $4,000 acres more than is provided
for under the .Carson-Truckee project
at Fallon, of the United States recla-
nation service.
Just what the water Of
the valley are can be determined only
by an exhaustive survey and the gath
ering of data that will more complete
ly determine the amount of rainfall
and the area of the watershed drain
ing into this valley and the depth at
which the water can be found for
pumping. If We assume that even 40
per cent of the area could be supplied
with water the magnitude of the pos
sibilities of this valley become at once
apparent. One well drilled to a depth
Of % feet and tested for a period of
As hours showed an undiminished
flow of one second-foot, which would
be sufficient for thhe irrigation on 100
acres Of land.
Lands in that valley already suppli-
ed with water have sold at varying
prices and while, of course, there is
no fixed value, prices have reached
500 per acre. The several ranches
already partially developed, include
the Oasis. or Stewart ranch, Patterson
Brothers, the Mill and the Chiatovich.
Probably not more than 1000 acres are
really developed in all.
The we'll above referred to was
sunk by a man named Hoyt, a recent
settler, and is one Of the best in the
state. Regardless of the supply that
might be found, development would
be slow and impracticable without
transportation, but it is only 20 miles
from Coaldale into the valley, with no
difficult grades intervening and con.
%struction would be comparatively
cheap.
The work in which rrof. Scrugham
is engeged has been in progress for
some time and has touched the Amar.
gosa valley and the region around Las
Vegas and Indian Springs; also the
Carson Valley and the Lemon Valley,
north Of Reno: the districts of La,
noble, Battle Mountain and Grass val.
ley south of Winnemucca, where
pumping plants are already in Opera.
ton and approximately 1000 acres OF
high grade land has been or will very
soon be brought under cultivation.

some time, with your gracious per-
mission, Mr.. Editor, / offer these
few items of latest Canada news.
We have quite few summer
visitors with us this season.
The fish in our Canada waters
seem to have a peculiarly good
flavor which is hard to duplic ate
elsewhere. | wonder what attrac-
tons we will be able to offer when
our speckled beauties have disap-
peared, However our visitors are al
ways welcome. Canadian hospitality
is still at par. Perhaps our visitors,
when other amusements fail, can
profitably spend a few days in
Canada studying the natives.

a successful career for them.
Canada now has saw-mill that
saws, and the dream Of some of
our citizens who are tired of living
in log cabins and shanties seems to
be on the eve of coming true.

fact, considering the number OF

SALTS IS FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regu.
!arly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part Of
the waste and poisons from the blood.
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
traize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all req
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
Hey complications.

 That is a question that frequently is asked in Alaska.

Among those present were Count von MoItke, Count von Au- lcnberg, Gen von Kessel and other we'll known leaders. The commands CTS at sbe various field headquarters participated in the conference by teIe- phone.
 According to the neutral Danish newspaper correspondents at Berlin, Che Emperor regards the situation .as still hopeful, but he is described as being greatly depressed on account Of the terrible price in men that Ger many was called upon to pay for com .parativeiy limited advances In all the war theatres, and especially those made agalnst the entrenched Russian lines.
 The Emperor's troops were not dc- feated in the attacks on Warsaw or In Eastern Gailcla, according to tho same authority, but were constantly advancing, but tho contest was abau- doned, temporarily on account of tho frightful loss Of life.
 45,ooO LOST ON BzURA FIELD.
 One account reaching Paris by way of Warsaw says that the German loss in dead alone on the Bzura and Raj ka fronts was 45,ooo dead, not to men. tion the thousands wounded and lost as prisoners.
