new REQUIREMENTS PROnIBITIVt
Recent Ruling Of Secretary Lane on
Desert Land Laws IL Against Land
DEVELOPMENT

DCNCsOphAOhk
Attention has been called to the
following ruling Of Secretary Lane in
regard to desert land entries:
Applicants to make entry under
the desert land laws should be made
clearly to understand that where a
water supply is made available for
irrigation purposes by means of a
pumping plant. such plant be of a
cspacity to make available at the
time of final proof a sufficient supply
of water to irrigate all irrigable land
embraced in aparticular entry"
Unless this ruling can be with
drawn the people of the West might
just as well quit trying to take up
land under the Desert Act in many
localities where water for irrigation
is available only by pumping. The
requirements of the Government are
almost. if not, prohibitive. 1t is
stated that a second foot flow for "a
hours is required for 100 acres. This
means a capacity of approximately
$50. 900 gallons of water pumped per
day for each 100 acres of land en-
tered

Generally, these visits of inspection

and its departure early the next
morning. but on this trip the gentle
men have remained nearly a week.
leaving here by this mornings train.
In view of the recent strike of a
body of rich ore in new ground in
the Eureka Con. mine, and the re-
port that the castings surrounding
the immense ore bodies that have
been removed from the Richmond
and Eureka Con. mines are rich in
zinc-now quoted at 16 cents a
pound-many of our people have
been putting two and two together
and figuring that this prolonged
stay in camp of these high-priced Of
icials means something, and are hop
ing that the present high prices of
all metals except silver will bring
about the resumption of operations
in the Richmond Eureka Company's
mines on Ruby Hill.
Corporation officials are seldom
very good sources of information
regarding the plans and intentions
of its company. and with the state
ment that the above officials were
here for an inspection of the COM
pany's mines and the mapping of

sumption of work on Ruby Hill.

Beyond

Jacob Clough, who has been i'll for
the past month at his home on Paul

ly Friday morning. A number of
his friends and neighbors have been
going to see and doing what they
could to make him comfortable, but

and true manhood.

his home near Troy, New York, in
the early COS and went to Washoe
City, where he was engaged in team
ing in 1862, an occupation he has fol-
loved throughout his long residence
in the State. He later went to Aus
tin and Belmont, and from there
came to Eureka County. and in 1872
commenced driving one of Pritch-
ards big f~reighting teams between
Palisade and Eureka. When the
railroad was completed into Eureka
he went to Belmont and established
a stable and teaming business. which
he conducted until about IL years
ago, since which time ne has been a

independent and economical DISPOSE
ton, and since his return here has
lived on his savings of former years.
He was a native of Troy, New
York. and about n years of age.
Nothing is known of his relatives.

Holy Land Wine and Honey.

1t has been rightly said that the

cial notice n attention and makes 1T

stance. Jaffa. the gateway of the Holy
land. is famed the world over for its
Its honey and wine. Joshua described
the country as a land flowing Will
milk and honey. Substitute wine for
milk, and he ancient pronounce1nent
is still applicable.
1t is Palestine's unique geographical
position that enables her to produce
such fine honey. Here the flora Of
three different continents meet, and
this fact, coupled with other circum-
stances, has made the conditions in
Palestine ideal for honey culture. Some
time ago two brothers in Jaffa ran an
apiary on novel lines. They conceived
the ingenious idea of furnishing the
purposes throughout eight months OF
the year. Camping first at a low all
titude. they waited until the flowers
of that locality We're over. and then
conveyed the hives on camel back to a
higher place, thus following up the
consecutive b~losso1nlng OF different
flowers. They were ven able to sep
arate the produce of these overworked
bees into ''orange blossom honey"
thyme honey and so on. with each
succeeding flower. BY using modern
extraction machinery and replacing
the combs. 100 hives We're made to
yield no less than six tons of honey in
the. year. This is nearly three times
as much honey per hive as the maxi
mum yield On the great honey farms
