COUNTY Scene
OF MINING ACTIVITY

CLARK county is one of the most
active mining sections in Nevada
says Andrew ]. Stinson. state mine
inspector, who was in Reno yester-
day after a trip through the state.
Contrary to the opinion of many
people in this vicinity Clark county
is not wholly ali orchard and agri-
cultural section FOR it contains some
of the most productive mining dis
tricts in Nevada and just now IL
adding largely to the states mineral
production.
"On account of the heavy demand
and consequent high price being paid
for zinc a number of the old zinc
and lead properties are being reop-
ened and operated on a large scale.
This is especially true at Good
springs and Nelson. These districts
have always been good zinc produc-
ers and they are certainly in the
money now.
Ely is enjoying greater pros
perity than for years. High priced
copper has put hundreds OF men at
work and the old camp is bIsy all
over. Activity in the mines is no.
ticeably reflected in the business dis
tricts."
According to Mr.. Stinson the
elimination of dust in the upper
workings Of the Tonopah mines, a
condition which has given his de-
partment serious concern, has prac-
tically been accomplished. "On ac-
count of the nature of the ore, which
is very dry in the upper levels and
inclined to produce dust while being
mined. the health of miners was
seriously menaced. The companies
co-operated willingly to correct this
condition by sprinkling and the re-
suit is that the working conditions
of the miners in the Tonopah dis
trict are better than ever before"

WATER RESOURCES
OF BUTTE, MONTANA

In response to an urgent request
from the citizens of Butte, Mont, fer
information as to the supply OF
ground water and the feasibility Of
developing it for industrial uses and
for irrigation, an investigation OF
the water of the basin in
which the city lies was made by o.
E. Meinzer of the United States ge-
illogical survey, and his report has
just been made public by the survey
in Water Supply Paper 345-G.
The Butte mining district, which
is the most important mining center
in the United States and which has
a population of over $4,000, is stu
ated on the north side of the upper
Silver Bow basin, a small rock-bOund
basin in the mountain region of
western Montana. This basin.
whose flat floor is a little more than
a mile above sea level, occupies a
re-entrant in the Continental divide,
by which it is bounded on it's north,
east and south sides and on a part
Of it's west side. The total area of
the basin is about 1870 square miles.
The investigation showed hat only
in small areas neal the mountains
does the water table lie more than
100 feet below the surface. Over a
considerable part of the flat it lies
less than rs feet below, and in the
principal stream valleys it is nearly
at the surface. With proper meth
DDS of construction a yield of 100
gallons a minute from a single we'll
can probably be developed in most
parts of the flat. The cost of de-
veloping ground water supplies is
high, but the cost of pumping is
moderate, provided the work is done
with proper equipment and efficient
management. The costs need not
be prOhibitive if intensive agricul-
ture is practiced. The most serious
handicap to farming, gardening or
fruit raising on the flat is the cold
climate. Late and early frosts limit
greatly the crops hat can be grown.
, The quality of the public water
s,nply was Investigated only in re-
gard to the principal dissolved min
eral constituents, but so far as the
investigation was carried the water
rom all sources was found to be soft
otherwise satisfactory for do.
Nestle and industrial use. In gen
eral the ground water underlying
the flat is harder than the public
supply, but is also of good quality
Tor domestic and industrial uses.
In exceptional wells, however, the
water has a high naturalization or

hydrogen. %sulphide, iron or other
constituents.

COLD STORAGE BEEF IS
NOW USED IN PARIS

PARIS, Aug. 26.-Cold storage
beef has had some difficulty in MAX
ing its way into the Paris retail mar
ket. but is has two advantages that
seem likely to make it go in the
long run. One is that it fills a real
need and the other is that is has re-
ceived a popular nickname. ''frigo.'
In Paris all depends whether the i'll
evitable nickname is applied in de-
rision or pleasantly. In this case
it appears to be the latter and there
is hope.
The first sales we're of beef th1t
had been decongealed too quickly:
the looks of it repealed buyers ut
the central markets. Butchers are
now buying the beef direct from the
cold storage and thawing it out in
their own shops according to de-
tailed instructions and the result IS
more favorable Some of the lead
ing butchers in the center of Paris
are offering it for sale at about 25
per cent below the retail prices OF
fresh killed beef. The best cuts sell
at - cents a pound against 20. Boil
ing pieces bring is cents as against
"a cents.
The increase in the quantity OF
meat eaten in France, as the result
of greater individual consumption
by modified men, is about 400
600 tons a year. What France has
not furnished has come from Mada-
gascar, Australia and America. The
department of agriculture, desiring
to protect the livestock of France
from too great depletion took a
census of the beef cattle, sheep. etc.
and discovered that at the present
rate of decrease both beef cattle and
sheep would be exhausted in five or
six years. There are 2,5OO,0OO
head less of cattle and 100000
head less of sheep on the meado0s
of France than when the war b.
gan.
Parliament has authorized The
government to spend ~$4O.OOO,0O0 in
the purchase of refrigerator beef,
and with i~mportations on the MOOT
from Madagascar and South Amer
lea it is expected all requirements
will be met.

WAYS to Fight Quackerass,

Numerous inquiries received at the
Northwest Experiment Farm, Crook
ston, regarding quackgrass indicate
that it is becoming a serious prob
lem in some sections of northwestern
Minnesota. II
F. Z. Kennard, station agronom-
ist,s&y that Quackgrass can be exter-
minated, and this has been demon
strated very frequently both by
farmers and experiment stations.
Mr.. Kennard goes on to say that the
principal requisite is a firm resolve
to rid the farm of the pest.
The weed reproduces both from
seed and from underground root
stocks. 1t may be brought to farm
in the form of seed, but the spread
is usually by scattering root stocks
about with tie narrow or other farm
implements.
Mr.. Kennard recommends two
methods of attack: Growing a Gull
tural crop, and er-fallowing.
Where the land is badly infested
the former will require great deal
of hard labor. If the pest is to be
exterminated no green portion must
be allowed to show itself and that
means eternal vigilance on the part
of the farmer. 1t is not enough to
keep the soil clean between the rows.
None Of the grass must be permitted
to grow in the hills. Two years Of
this treatment is recommended.
When land is partly occupied, the
summer fallow method is probably
most economical. One crop is lost
but the additional yield the succeed
ing year will usually Offset this when
the low cost of cultivating fallow
land as compared with corn land is
considered. The field should be
plowed in the fall and again in the
spring to depth of six or eight
inches. A good mulch three inches
deep should be prepared with disk
and harrow and this mulch kept
cultivated with sufficient frequency
to prevent any growth above the sur
face of the ground. BY preventing
this part from developing the roots
are simply starved to death.

Hayti Scene of Bloody Revolt

Port au. Prince, Hayti, July 28.-A
revolution more terrible in the toll
thus far taken than any in the his
tory of the republic famed out in the
Haytian capital. It was an offshoot
of the movement to the north, where

twice expelled from Hayti, have been
striving for several months to break
the power of the Haytian president,
General Vilbrun Guillaume. s..
One hundred and sixty men, politi-
cal prisoners, including former presi-
dent of Hayti, General Orestes Zamor,
were executed by order of General
Oscar, governor of Port au Prince,
who later in the day was dragged
from the shelter of the Dominican le-
cation and riddled with bullets.
President Guillaume and the mem
bers of his family have taken refuge
in the French legation, which revolu-
tionists threaten to attack.
The presidential palace was partly
for hours and the revolutionists are
in possession of the city. How many
persons were shot down in the streets
and the government buildings cannot
be learned.
Port au Prince has been in a state
of panic for days. There have been
wholesale arrests, apparently caused
by order of the president or some of
those close to him. One regiment of
soldiers was disbanded and it was
this regiment which descended upon
the palace.
Guillaume and those who acted as
his guard offered stubborn resist
ance, but were greatly outnumbered.
The palace was abandoned by the
