PROFIT BY EXPERIENCE OF
THOSE WHO KNOW.

Every year many fruit growers are
inclined to try experiments Of their
own in the way of controlling their
orchard and farm pests. Invariably
the results are unsuccessful yet the
outcome could have been forecasted in
advance by the state experiment sta
ton. 1t doesn't pay for the average
fruit-grower to experiment with un-
tried methods of controlling pests. He
has neither the time nor money and
as a rule he does not have the proper
facilities for discovering the reasons
why he obtains success or failure.

: REQUIRES MONEY AND WORK.
It requires capital these days to get
started right on farm and then there
must be business principles to bring a
return on the capital. In the Middle
West farmers find the cost of produc-

must move to cheaper land or adopt
intensive principles. That Is as true

NEVADA CLAIMS RECOGNIZED

The last Congress, through Senator
Newlands, made appropriations to
cover the following Nevada claims
arising out of Indian depredations In
the early days:
John Altman, formerly of Virginia
City, now of California, $2,35s; John
M. Forsyth, formerly Of Virginia City,
now of California, $2,72s; Frank J..
Mccarthy, formerly of Nevada, now
OF California, $3.50; Thomas Rodgers,
formerly of Virginia City, now of Cal
ifornia, $40; the legal representatives
Of James Thompson, late of Carson
City, $5,730. A claim for 1926, as
overtime put in by Waterman John
Glanzman of the Carson mint, was also
taken care of the last session.
The Indian claims were allowed on
the showing that the pioneers, in de-
Tending their property against Indian
raids and outrages, were performing
the duty of the United States army.
Clay Tallman, of Nevada, commits
sioner of the general land office, was

banquet of the Home Club and made
speech deploring the policy of the gov

She Was a Voter.

Visiting New York friends is an
Illinois girl, young and sweet and pret'
ty. One evening she was out with a
party of people older than herself
and after the theater someone sug'
gested that they go to a rather lively
restaurant and dance awhile. The
others objected on the ground that II
might not be the proper place for
young and unsophisticated girl like
Miss Blank
"Oh," she said with quite an air.
"you needn't bother about my youth
or my unsophistication. am twenty
one years of age and | voted at the

No other woman in the party had a
record like that and the Illinois girl
was taken along without further ques'
tion.

NEW INVENTION DOES
AWAY WITH SMELLING

Col. James fleming, of Globe, Ariz.,
mas received information from Wash
ington that a patent has been granted
him by the United States patent Office
on his invention of a device or ma
chine for extracting valuable minerals
such as gold, silver and copper, from
the ores by what is called the wet
process, or reversing natures infiltra-
tion deposit process, says the Copper
Era
For hundreds of years it has been
said by the best metallurgists that
some day a practical and economical
discovery would be made doing away
with the expensive and unnatural prac-
tiee of smelling. Possibly 100000
pen year for the past twenty years has
been expended over the world trying
to make perfect and practical this pro-
cess of extraction.
Mr.. Fleming's discovery Che is sole
owner of the patent) is the result of
his seventeen years and more of prac-
tieal experiments and tests, employing
the best talent in the land to assist
him, with an expenditure of possibly
$250,000 in cash. The process, like all
other valuable discoveries, is very
simple and cheap in installation, uses
no ore tanks or vats-does not even
use a shovel. The process is practi
cally continuous, fast working, and the
ore is held in captivity until the last
trace of the valuable mineral is ex
tracted.
He has what is called basic pat
ent or original discovery claim, all of
which cannot and will not be disputed
by any person who has any knowledge
OF the business coming from actual
practice or from general
study to accomplish perfect results.
Colonel fleming is lineal descend
ant of William Fleming, many years
ago professor OF metallurgy at Edin-
burgh University, Scotland, who wrote
many books on metal extraction and
refining, and which books were of
much help in working up to this dis
covery.

COL. EWING OPTIM-
.ISIIC OVER OUTLOOK

Col. Tom Ewing, one of the infu-
entail mining men of America, is IN
Winnemucca today. Humboldt county,
since 1868, has been one of Ewing's
attraction fields of operation. Since
the early day sof Unionville, dating
back into the early '60s, the Colonel
has been mining and extorting for
tunes from the gold and silver rib
bed mountains of the Humboldt and
allied ranges. Today Col. Ewing is as
full of ginger, snap and energy as he
was 55 years ago, when he directed
operations for Col. Fall in the then
famous silver camp and as the old
time associate of Bill Daggett, Mark
Twain, Jim Fair, John Mackay and
that notable array of pioneers and en-
pire builders.
Even now Col. Ewing is straining
his youthful energies in bringing into
productivity one of the strong gold
properties of the west, the Oklahoma
mine, in northern Humboldt county.
The Oklahoma is a fine property and
Ewing is on his way to arrange for
enlarged resumption of work at the
mine and laying the basis for the in
stallation of an up-to-date mill to
treat the great body of milling ore he
has exposed in the property.
When seen today Col Ewing was
most optimistic and confident of Ne
vada's mining future and prosperity.
Said he: fThere is full reason for
splendid optimism as to the country s
fine prospect for the highest prosperity
that blessed the American people for
many years. The mining situation, es-
pecially, has such improving condi-
tions as to predict for it the most
splendid era that mining has yet had
in this country.
Legitimate undertakings, even
where there is only a fair chance to
win, will, in competent hands, have
lite trouble TO gain the financial sup
port necessary to prosecute sound min
ing. i also find in all directions a sat
isfactory condition. Business men feel
that vexed legislative problems have
been settled, so business can now adj
Just itself. From now on / am conf
for better times and an enlarged bust
ness, safely conducted and prosperous
ly beneficial to the whole country.
Both financial and business interests
are on a safe basis and know where
they are at. This in itself will loosen
money for investment and give a
status to enterprise, development and
manufacture such as the country has
not enjoyed for the past Is years and
foremost of these progressive inter
prises will be that of mining.
