offensive Is not known, but 1t has been
reported that the Germans look upon
this position, which commands the

SHIPPING BLUE JAY ORE

Elbcrt and Summers who have a
lease and bond on the old Blue Jay
copper mine on the east side of the
district are having a carload OF the
best grade OF ore in the mine hauled
to the Herington station this week for
shipment to Salt Lake. Jack Buffers
teams are doing the hauling These
lcaScrs have been working right along
during the dull period as though moth
ing had happened. They have been
doing a lot of development work and
have some good ore in sight. The
grade that they are shipping looks
as though it might run 20 per cent in
copper, and possibly better than that
When they receive returns from this
they will decide whether or not more
shipments will be made.

Utah SO far they have purchased
about $4,000 worth OF horses i'll Ne

of carloads at Fallon. These animals
Newport News, Va, and from there
are shipped abroad The buyers have
been paying from $l20 to $l40 per
head for the kind of animals they de-
sire, and these are horses weighing
from l,200 to 1900. sound and young.
Quite number of horse owners
brought animals in to the Pioneer cor
rails Tuesday and Wednesday for in
specton. From the bunch the buyers
selected sixteen animals which they
were willing to take at certain fig
ure but the figures did not suit the
owners and no horses were purchased
Tom Litch, another horse buyer,
from San Francisco, was also here to
inspect the animals offered but he did
not secure any, either. Ed McCarty
a horseman who has been here for
some time, had rounded up this bunch
of horses and advised the owners not
to sell at the figures offered Other
buyers are expected in here in a few
days and may secure some very good
horses if they are willing to pay fair
price.

NEVADA-EMPIRE LEASES

Oberg and Taylor are still pegging
away on their lease on the Empire
Nevada ground across the river. They
are now sinking shaft near the old
shaft on the property and are getting
out some fine ore The ore is being
sorted into three grades, and the first
grade will run about 80 per cent in
the red metal the second grade will
go about II or l8 per cent, and -the
third grade will average about per
cent This latter grade would be
good thing to ship if the smelter was
in commission. AS it is it is being
stored away until such time as the
smelter may resume operations The
higher grade material will probably
be shipped to Salt Lake
Pennington and Ryan are also dig
ging away on their lease on the EN-
pire ground. They have quite nice
showing and are getting out some ore
and storing it away with a view Of
shipping to the smelter as soon as ii
may start up.

ANOTHER ARTESIAN WELL

Ed Mollart, of Artesia, was in the
city Monday on business and reports
that last week Friday he brought in n
fine artesian flow of water on his
ranch in that section of the district.
He has a six-inch well down 220 feet
and it is flowing fully 800 gallons per
minute, being one of the best wells
in that artesian belt, Mr.. Mollart put
the we'll down with hand rig of his
own construction. He estimates that
he will now have water enough to irri-
gate large portion of his ranch, as
well as for all other purposes. The
land is good, and with water on it will
produce the finest kind of cereal and
vegetable crops, and of course the well
has added greatly to the value of the
ranch.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE

The ringing OF the fire bell, the firing
of shots and the footing of an auto
mobile horn at about 80 Monday
morning brought the fire boys out in a
hurry. The blaze was in the COW shed
back of Mrs. J. ID. Smiths residence
and had pretty good start when dis
covered. A number of buckets of wa
ter kept it in check until the hose carts
arrived and then the fire was quickly
subdued. The shed was practically de-
stroyed, the loss being about $50 or
500. A man going by the shed the
evening before found the dry grass on
the side of the road burning He
stamped the fire out as he thought, but
some sparks evidently fingered and
crept up to the shed after dark, set
ting it on fire. While pumping water
Mrs. Smith had the misfortune to cut
her hand slightly and the next day
blood poisoning set in and made a
pretty sore member. Quick applica-
tion of remedies and careful attention
drove the disease away, however, and
there is now nothing to be feared
from it,

OF San Francisco and the Mayor of

could be as distinctly heard as though
they were both in one city. This is

MAY REORGANIZE COMPANY

1t is repoted that the Nevada Doug
las Copper Company is seriously
thinking of reorganizing so as to make
the stock of the company assessablc.
The company has not been selling its
bonds as rapidly as it would like sto
and needs money to complete the
teaching plant that is being erected
1t believes that it would be a better
plan to make the stock assessable
so that money could be raised by as
sessment than to sacrifice the bonds
at the low figure that is now neces-
sary to find sale for them. The stock
of the company has advanced from Sc
cents per- share to so cents during the
past week. If a person had a few
thousand dollars to dump into this
stock at this figure he would make
big cleanup inside of a couple of
years.
