GRATIFYING RESULTS ON
NENZEL CROWN POINT

Joseph F. Nenzel, president of the
Nenzel Crown Point Mining com.
pany, together with directors of the
company, and Joseph H. Hutchin-
son, consulting engineer, have been
inspecting latest developments on
the company's properties on Nenlel
hill for the last two days and have
found thai the WORK is proving the
ore to be of greater value and with
stronger showings than was expect
ed. says a Journal correspondent.
The showings are of such richness
and strength along the 400-foot
trend of the main vein as to cause
the company to hasten the install
lation of heavy machinery and a
hosting plant. Today men were set
to work grading for the hoist and
three shifts of miners will be start
ed sinking a deem shaft as rapidly
as good work will permit.
The present deepest workings
show four feet of $40 ore. During
the past week a new three-foot vein,
200 feet westwardly toward tie
Rochester mines, was opened by
trenching. The new vein exnos,,

SCHEDULE FOR MANY
BASKETBALL GAMES
NORTHERN SCHOOLS PLAYING
OFF TOURNAMENT AND GIRLS
ARE BUSY

The basketball teams of the north
ern part of the state have been active
for the past few weeks in practice
games, preparatory to the regular
schedule for the winter. There will,
in all probability, be a tourney al
ranged between Reno, Yerington,
Fallon, Carson, Elko, Austin, Love
lock, Tonopah, Las Vegas, Bishop
and Goldfield high-schools. The
season will be started in the north
this week and a few of the games
already scheduled by the northern
teams will be played off. The stu
alton looks promising this winter for
some good sport in the net game, as
the interest is at high pitch and the
season a long one.
The girls of the northern schools
have already played several games.
The team from the Reno high-school
seems to have the edge on it's compe-
titors, although the Yerington team
is always a contender for the state
honors and promises we'll this yeai.
Susanville will be on the Reno sched-
ule this winter. The Reno girls have
one victory to their credit already
against the farmer lasses from across
the state line.
GOldfield will have at least four
outside games, with a possibility of
a schedule with the northern teams.
Bishop will, for the first time in the
history of local high-school athlet-
les, meet the Goldfeld team in has,
ketball. A series of two games has
been scheduled for the season, fol-
lowing the holidays, one to be play
ed inBishop and one on the local gym
floor. Las Vegas completes the
schedule as it is now arranged. Two
games have been lined up with the
Vegas school, n to be played here
and n in Vegas.
A preseason schedule has been
worked out among the net sharps of
the high-school and the eighth grade,
whereby it is thought the best talent
in the school will be given an oppor-
tunity to show. A special effort is
being made along this line by Coach
Turner in the development of ma
terial for the future teams. A four
team league was organized Thursday
evening at the meeting of the athletes
of the Goldfield schools. One team
will be organized from among the
members of the eighth grade, two
from the freshmen, one from the
juniors and one from the combined
sophomore and senior classes. The
schedule of games will be announc-
ed later.

UNDERGROUND WATERS OF
STATE A VALUABLE ASSET

vast economic Importance western
states would do well to revise and
remodel such water commissions as
they may have in force, giving to
such officers full powers not alone
in dealing with surface flow but
with underground waters as well.
A technical staff should also be
created under the direction of the
water commission to gather further
data on the intimate relationship
that is now known to exist between
surface and ground water supplies.
This technical staff should also be
prepared to give scientific advice,
based on painstaking research, as to
the wisdom of curbing oyerdraft OF
water or the Gaping of artesian
discharges as well as taking definita
steps to avoid losses by evaporation
of underground storage. Develop
ers, too, need advice as to the prob
able yield from a proposed under
ground storage basin in order to
prevent waste of money and to scien-
tifically compute the ultimate uses
to which arid lands may be put.
The gathering of such information
requires knowledge of conditions
over large areas and owe extend
ed periods of time and it further
more requires cooperation or the
part of local people. such as drillers
of wells, users of water and water
companies. Thus the problem of un.
foreground waters is seen to have
grown in a brief score of years from
the mystery of the willow switch to
one that involves practically every
phase of domestic and economic life
in which the question of water sup
ply enters.
Its Importance should not long
err be overlooked. And the only way
to prevent it's being overlooked IL
to put it in the care of a highly
scientific commission with power
and money to act.-From the Jour
nal of Electricity, Power and Gas.

APPLY FOR RECEIVER

STOCKHOLDERS ALLEGE IRRE(i-
ULARITIES ON PART OF THE
DIRECTORS

Two prominent mining suits were
filed in the office of the county clerk
today, having been transferred from
Washoe county. Both are entitled
M. B. Incorrect al, plaintiffs, VS..
Rochester Mines company, ct al, de-
fendents.
In the first action plaintiffs allege
that they are minority stockholders
in the Rochester Mines company,
setting forth that at various times,
through fraud and conspiracy, the
directors of the company appropri-
ated to their own use large blocks
of the capital stock of the corpora
ton, without any valuable cOnsidera-
ton.
Plaintiffs pray the court to decree
that all of this stock be declared the
property of the corporation, held in
trust by said directors: the defend
said stock on the books of the COM
pany, and that during the tendency
of this action a receiver be appoint
ed to take charge of the affairs of
the corporation.
In the second suit it is alleged
that the board of directors of the
Rochester Mines company, at a meet
ing held in June of this year. voted
to purchase the ROchester-Weaver
stock, exchanging stock in the con-
solidated corporation to pay there
fore: Plaintiffs allege that they are
the owners of an undivided one

Weaver company. and prey the court
to declare null and void the resolu-
ton of the beard Of directors auth

A score of years g it was not
uncommon to find even in fairly in
telligent communities of the west a
more or less superstitious belief in
the mystic powers of the so-called
waterwitch, who with his magic will
low switch was supposed to he able
to predict the location of under
ground waters.
Recent Investigations show, how
ever, that underground waters are
not. a matter of mystery but indeed
are so natural in their laws of flow
and storage that measurements may
be made and checked within ten per
cent. The important part of the
findings is, however, that which
goes to show that each individual
well is linked to all other individ-
ual wells in the same underground
basin as a whole has a more or less
definite relationship to the flow of
surface waters in that basin. Hence
it is seen that the legislative con-
troll of surface waters only touches
a small part of the problem of wa
ter conservation and adjudication.
Indeed the amazing growth in
utilization of underground waters is
a subject that justly merits care
full consideration. From data pub
lished by the irrigation investigation
office of experiment stations, of the
United States department of agricult-
ure, and from the report of cooper
ative irrigation Investigations in
California by the California depart
ment of engineering, it is e that
in 1914 there were 24,5S9 pumping
plants in California, or more than
two and one-half times a. many as in
existence in that commonwealth five
years previous. To such proportions
has this utal.Zation of underground
waters grown that now it is esti-
mated that % per cent of the irri-
gated lands of California are sup
piled from underground sources. And
of course the underground waters
used for domestic. manufacturing
and general municipal purposes
would vastly swell this percentage.
The same growing uses for these
waters are to be found in Washing
ton, Oregon and other western com
m~onwealths.
Since then this matter is n OF
