New Jersey State Road, Bituminous
Macadam.
justified, although it is possible that
future investigation may change the
situation in this respect In the pres
ent state Of road science, however, it
seems that where traffic conditions
are such that bituminous surface
on concrete road is practicable a
bituminOus-surface macadam road
would be equally practicable and GER
tainly cheaper. Where traffic is too
heavy for macadam road the btu
minous surface is likely to give way
and the uneven manner in which it
fails tends to produce excessive wear
on portions of the concrete.
For a successful concrete road, hard
ness, toughness and uniformity are
the most essential qualities. These
can be secured to a great extent by
care in the selection of the constitu-
ent materials and the proportions in
which they are mixed. Sample speci-
fications are included in the bulletin,
No. 249, Portland Cement Concrete
Pavements for Country Roads"
These specifications are believed to
typify the best engineering practice
las it has been developed up to this
time. They cover such points as ma
terials, grading, subgrade and con
struction.

GOOD
ROADS
MILEAGE OF CONCRETE ROADS
Growth in Popularity Indicated by
Rapid Increase in Recent Years
in United States.

The mileage of concrete pavements
in the United States has increased
rapidly, and it is likely to continue
to increase, according to a new bulle-
tin of the United States department
of agriculture. This bulletin gives
the estimated amount of concrete
pavement in the United States in 1914
as 100000 square yards; in 1909 it
was only $4,000 square yards.
The principal advantage of concrete
pavements which have led to this in
crease in popularity are said to be:
1. Durability under ordinary traffic
conditions
2. A smooth, even surface offering
little resistance.
3. Absence of dust and ease with
which it may be cleaned.
4. Comparatively small cost Of
maintenance until renewals are neces-
sary.
5. Availability as base for another
Type Ol SuTldC6 IL uGoll dUlO'
g. Attractive appearance.
In commenting upon these advan
tages the bulletin states that the DUR
ability of concrete roads has not yet
been proved by actual practice, be-
cause there are no very old pave
ments as yet in existence, but from
the condition of those which have UNI
dergone several years service it
seems probable that they will be
found to wear we'll.
The disadvantages of concrete az
a road surface are:
1. It's noise under horse traffic.
2. The wearing Of the necessary
joints in the pavement, and the tend
ency to crack, with it's consequent
rapid deterioration.
3. The difficulty Of repairs when
these become necessary.
In the past efforts have frequently
been made to overcome these objec-
lions to certain degree by covering
the concrete pavement with bitumi-
nous wearing surface. At the present
time, the specialists in the department
hold that this cannot be economically

There is no question that forage
crops will largely, but not entirely,
replace the use of grain in fatten-
ing hogs for market. 1t frequently
is impossible to grow hogs and
maintain mature breeding animals
almost entirely on forage crops
alone. If we once grow a pig,
making him weigh 150!pounds at
nine months of age, we shall have
no trouble selling him to the corn
GROWING farmers to fattens Just as
we now often sell our yearling and
two.year-old steers to the corn lot
cattle feeder.
Hogs will eat almost any forage
crop to advantage, though some
crops are much better suited to
the production of pork than
others. The primary things to
keep in mind in selecting forage
crops for hogs are: ~ the con-
tinuity of supply, ~ the nutritive
ratio Of the feeds, and ~ the
amount of dry matter in the feeds
If one is depending largely or
entirely upon green feeds for his
hogs, it is very evident that he
must so arrange his crops that he
will always have some green feed
available throughout the entire
year. Periods of drouth, when
seed that has been sown fails to
terminate and when crops already
started wither and dry up, must be
guarded against as much as
possible.
The best feeds for early spring
are rye and crimson clover, both
seeded the previous fall. They
may be seeded together or sep
arateIY. Either may be sown in
the corn at the last cultivation or
Immediately after the corn is cut
for silage. These crops will

GETTING PLACER GOLD
CLOSE TO WINNENUCCA

l.. G.. Wilson, a local attorney, is
earnest in urging the mineral i'm
portance of the mountains south and
east OF Winnemucca. In his Sunday
rambles he states that he came
across some excellent surface COD
per showings that have from all ap-
pearances never had a pick stuck IN
to it. This is about six miles out
from Winnemucea. A few miles
further on, in another gulch, he
states that he found some parties at
work removing the o%verburden and
then cleaning the bedrock for placer
gold. He states that they inform
ed him that even in their crude way
they were beating the ordinary wages
paid for day labor.
Rambles like these in the noun
tains are instructive and confirm
atOry of the unexplored wealth of
Nevada. New excursions bring forth
hidden treasures and unrecorded re-

OF BEAVER
GOLD MINES BOUGHT
SIVE CAMPAIGN OF DEVEL-
OPMENT WORK

The controlling interest in the
Beaver Gold Mines company, the
property of which is located in Beav-
er county, in the Newton mining dis.
trict, has been taken over by large
eastern mining interests. In the
neighborhood of $4,000 shares OF
the capital stock have been bought
and underwrittten.
The deal, which is said to be one
of the most important ever consum-
mated for the Newton district, will
involve something like $5OO,O 900.
This was learned yesterday from au-
thentic sources, but, due to the fact
that Senator A. B. Lewis, president
of the company, was at the mine and
could not be reached by telephone,
a confirmation from him could not
be secured.
Engineers have recently made a
through investigation of the hold
ings of the company, which include,
besides the acreage of the Sheep
Rock mine and considerable ada
cent territory, in the neighborhood
of 10000 acres of placer ground To-
Gated along Indian creek. An extern
sive campaign of development work
is now being planned for the Sheep
Rock mine. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the main work of the new
interests will be confined to devel-
oping the large placer acreage.
With the assurance already at
hand of the unprecedented activity in
the way of development in the New
ton district during he coming sum-
mer, conservative engineers are of
the opinion that there will be added
to Utah a new gold field and that a
number of new mines will be added
to the producing list before the end
OF the year.-Salt Lake Tribune.

DEBATE
MARKS CLOSING
Of LEGISLATURE
Appropriation for State Police Pre-.
cipitates Usual Wrangle al End

COMPROMISE REACHED
ON SUM OF S17,5Oo
Total Appropriations Will Approx.
mate Million and a Half, 1t is Is
timated

CARSON CITY, New, March 10
The twenty-seventh session of the
Nevada legislature passed into his
tory this morning at 1885 o'clock,
when Speaker Mcbride of the assem-
bly, adjourned the lower house sine
die, President Sullivan having sound
ed taps for the senate a few moments
before.
The closing hours of the session,
sion, were marked by a bitter fight
over the appropriation for the state
police and for a time the controver-
sy threatened to tie up the legisla-
ture indefinitely. The senate held
out for an appropriation of $4,000
and the assembly insisted on an APP
preparation of $4,000. A compro-
mise was reached and the a%ppropria-
ton placed at $17,5OO. Three SEN
ators, Arnold, Gault and Seaman,
voted against the general %approprla-
tion bill, Directing to the %appropria-
ton carried for the state police. The
appropriation of $4,000 for the war
den of the prison vas eliminated
after another bitter fight, both
houses taking the position that by a
two-thirds vote a bill had been pass
ed abolishing the office and tnas
there is no good reason for believing
the bill will be vetoed.
When the appropriation bills are
all accounted for there seems to be
little question that the session just
closed will go down in history as
one of the most expensive in recent
times. Total appropriations, it is es-
timated, will approximate $780,
900 and those who have compiled
figures to substantiate their claims
say that had the present session been
compelled to fix the state tax levy
on an assessed valuation equal to
that of two years ago, the levy would
have been not less than Is cents. An
effort to raise the tax levy from Sc
to 60 cents for 1915 and from 46
to Sc cents for 1916, was defeated.
The session was marked from be-
ginning to end by bitter wrangle(
over what has been termed "liberaS
legislation" consisting of divorce,
a track and gambling laws. one
of the last acts of the session was
the passage of an amendment to
the present anti-gambling law, the
bill being introduced as a. substitute
to a bill preventing n state en-
ploye from holding more than one
job. The bill permits the operation
of slot machines and PLAYING poker,
whist, five hundred and solo for mon
ey when no percentage is taken. The
law makes it a felony to play n
other gambling games for money.

TIN DEPOSIT NEAR
BATTLE MOUNTAIN
EXCITEMENT OVER FIND TWEEN.
TY-TWO MILES FROM THAT
PLACE

The Elko Independent says that
what bids fair to become the most
valuable discovery made in Nevada
for many years has just been made
known to the public. 1t is a big de-
post of high grade tin ore near the
George Russell Land and Cattle COM
pany ranch, % miles northwest of
Battle Mountain. Some time ago a
number of nuggets were brought to
the ranch, but they were of such
character that no one recognized
values in them, despite the fact that
they were highly m~ineralized. Lit
tie attention was paid to them at
were made which revealed the fact
that they ran Is per cent in tin.
A search was then made for the
mother lode and a vein more than
100 feet wide and % per cent in
tin was discovered. Various crop
pings indicate that the ore body is
extensive in area and claims over
ing a distance of four miles have
been located. George Russell, Sr.,
Mr.. Brooks, Mr.. Lemaire, George
Russell, Jr., and others about Bat
tie Mountain have located all the
most likely looking ground and fore
es of men have been put to work do
ing location work and development.
1t is a strange fact that this coun-
try has been repeatedly gone over by
p~rospectors going to and from Gold
Circle and other camps, but has
heretofore attracted no attention.
This is probably due to the fact that
he rock has a burned appearance
and was regarded as barren.
The properly lies partly in Elko
and partly in Lander county. Those
who have examined it say that there
is no doubt that an immense deposit
exists, and those having claims are
actively engaged in doing location
work. If it proves to be as ex-
tensive and as rich as indicated at
present it will be more valuable than
the best gold mine in Nevada.

BARON Won Kissing is
CAUSE OF COMMONS DEBATE

LONDON, England, March 12.-
Enemy aliens in England are al
most caressed by the government"
according to Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford's recent protest in the
house.
A. Bonar Law, the leader of the
opposition, took from this his cue
to renew criticism of the govern
ment for the treatment of Baron Won
Kissing, a n~aturalized British citizen
and brother of the German COVER
ed from Brighton to London because
of the ostracism applied to him in the
coast city. Bonar Law called it
Childish folly to have given Won
Kissing his freedom.
Another member of the house as
serted that the baron had been "the
London correspondent of al Anglo
phobe paper in Berlin" and when
asked four years ago how he put in
his time in Brighton, replied, ooh,
l am ~ostensibly here as a journalist,
but my real profession is that I am
here in the service of the German
foreign office" To another man
who had given him some information
or a labor situation the baron said:
II am very much obliged to you for
the information, and l shall certain
ly forward it to my minister in
Berlin" The only reply of the Sec
rotary representing the war office,
according to the protesting member,
was that every alien enemy is
known and is being watched"

Mumps Hit Carlin

The population of Carlin, which
a. few weeks G appeared to be en-
joying normal health is experiencing
an epidemic of mumps. A few weeks
ago a few cases broke out among
the school children of the town. The
malady was not confined to the
younger generation, however, and it
spread with leaps and bounds until
it obtained a grip on every person
in the town with the exception Of
those previously afflicted. The doc
tors are at loss as to what method
to employ to check the malady.
