SMALL BLAZE

Wednesday night, just after 7
o'clock, the fire bell gave the alarm
OF fire. The blaze was discovered in
the back end of the Owl Saloon build
ing and was found to have been caus-
ed by an explosion in the gasoline box
which held the tank for the lighting
system of the building. The blaze
rapidly crawled up the wall to the
ceiling, and for a time looked serious
Jim Adams had presence of mind
enough to grab an old house fire ex-
tnguisher, which had been loaded for
the past nine or ten years, shake the
contents on the blaze, and Immediately
1t subsided. just exactly what caused
the gasoline in the tank to catch fire
is a mystery. The damage was
nominal.

AT THE
NEVADA-DOUGLAS
LEACHING PLANT

A visit to the Nevada-Douglas prop
erty this week shows that point to be
a scene of considerable activity There
are about forty-hve men employed
erecting buildings for the teaching
plant. Nearly all of the big concrete
foundations are in place and they are
certainly some foundations. There are
three main parts, or buildings to the
plant The ore bins have been built
in an excavation SO that a loaded car,
or train of cars, can run over the top
of the bins and dump into them A
conveyor belt will carry the ore from
these bins to the crushers, and an
other conveyor belt will carry the
crushed material to the top of the
tank in the teaching building. From
this point the ore passes by gravity
through the tanks. Several very large
steel tanks are being set in place and
several large redwood tanks are being
put together and set under the steel
ones. In fact, the plant is rapidly as
sumng shape. The tank house runs
up into the air to quite heighth, and,
altogether the plant covers several
acres of ground, A great amount of
lumber and concrete has been used
and every part of the work has been
done in the most thorough manner,
and is there to stay. The building of
such plant in these strenuous imam
cial times shows that the company
certainly knows how to get the money,
and has an abiding faith in the proper
ty and teaching process to extract
the values to return to them the cost
of construction and nice profit on
every ton of ore taken from the mil
lions of tons in sight in the mine
Those in control seem to have the bet
terment of the porperty in view at all
times

NEVADA-PROGRESSIVE
PUSHING WORK.

A trip to the Nevada Progressive
Mining Company's property, which
lies not a great distance from the
Smith Valley Mines Company's
ground, shows that the company is
paying very little attention to hard
times. The main shaft on the prop
erty is being driven down as rapidly
as two srifts can do the work. Super
intendent Parr is pushing things at a
lively rate and intends to prove out his
opinion of the ground by actually
showing in development just how big
a property it may be. If you keep your
eye on the operations of this company
you are liable to wake up some morn
ing with a new opinion about the pos
sibilities of this section as a gold pro-
ducer.

NEVADA PRODUCTIONS
FOOT UP TO NEARLY
FIFTY MILLIONS

A late report of the Nevada Bureau
of Agriculture and Irrigation shows
that for the year 1914 Nevada pro
ductions agricultural, mineral and live
stock, foot up to nearly fifty million
dollars. The Agricultural Commis-
sion strongly advocates that the farm
ers of the State take up on a larger
scale hog breeding dairying and cattle
and sheep raising. Following are the
figures as given in the report:
Nevada produced $8,6S0,550 worth
of agricultural crops; $ll ,026,20O of
live stock products, $3o0,550 poultry
products and 100000 bee products,
in 1914, a total of $20,263, 300. With
the estimated mineral production o.
$28,000,00O, according to the geologi
cal survey, the total agricultural, live
stock and mineral production of the
State for 1914 was SAG, ,063, 800.
The present cultivated lands com
prise 84l 500 acres, of which $4,000
acres are classed as pasturage. The
average crop production per acre is
$1,000. The report declares that Ne
vada farmers, considered as a whole
get the lowest relative per cent of
production from the possibilities Of
the soil OF the farmers of any State
in the Union, with the possible eX-
ception OF some Southern States,
The most interesting part of the
report relates to a discussion of the
forage crop situation and the live
stock shortage. The total production
OF shortage crops the past year is esti-
mated at l,0lS,500 tons, exclusive Of
wild pasturagc, and on which the
farmers of the State lost 100000 in
profits as compared with the profits
of preceding years, due to fall in
the price of hay of about $3.50 per
ton, or from an average of about 81
per ton for the ten years ending with
1912 to less than $3.50 per ton for
1914.
This situation the Bureau contends
is a permanent one unless corrected
by cooperative action between the
farmers. the banks and the State
The one solution, according to the
Bureau. is for the farmers to take up
the slack between supply and demand
by going extensiely into hog breeding
dairying and the raising of cattle and
sheep on the farms The State must
supply technical information on these
subjects to the farmers while the banks
of the State must assist the farmers,
similarly to the manner i'll which Mr.
Wingield purchased and distributed
dairy cows among the farmers of Fal
Ion. and scores of banks are doing
the country over in other States.
The prosperity of the State is at a
standstill-not so much evidencing
any distress as in the absence of in
dustrial development and expansion
The Bureaus diagnosis of the trouble
is: That the State is short 100000
hogs; is short $4,000 high-producing
dairy cows: is short 10000 beef cat
tie and 100000 sheep, raised on its
farms and owned by its farmers"

NEWS NOTES
FROM WABUSKA TOWN,
THE RAILROAD CENTER

Ranchers are preparing to put their
grain crops in much earlier this. season
than usual.
Mrs. Jack Smith has been appoint
ed postmistress at Wabuska and is
now on duty.
Mrs. Vance, formerly of Wabuska,
is reported dangerously i'll at her new
home in Palisade.
Mr. and Mrs. Ricksccker and Mrs
DIR. Leavitt, of Yerington, called on
the Young family last Sunday. Prof.
Waggoner and wife accompanied
them as far as the Mckay home.
Mrs. Graham Nichol, after visiting
with her daughter and grandson in
Smith Valley for week or more, has
returned to her Wabuska home. She
says the grandson is grand, all right.
J. F. Mckinley, Indian Agent at
Schurz, has an option on six fine
horses owned by Matt Penrose. Mr..
Mckinley also wants one hundred
cows and ten bulls for the Reserva
ton farm.
Jim Parker has had his automobile
in the hospital and quarantined for two
weeks. He has replaced the weak
parts with new ones, now rides in the
middle of the road and allows no
ranch team to pass him.
The latest news from Jack Smith,
who is still at State Hospital in Reno,
is that he is improving slowly. There
is a possibility that he may have an
operation performed on his brain to
see if he cannot be fully cured.
A horse buyer for the French cav
airy was interviewing ranchers in this
part of the valley this week and pick
ed up quite number of animals that
filled the requirements. When the
strikes a German he tells him he is
buying for the German army, but so
far no German has let him have any
horses nor have they lowered the
price.
A Wabuska rancher was highly en-
tertained by being a chance spectator
at a rehearsal of the Yerington Glee
Club and chior the other evening at
the home of Prof. Ricksecker He
said he had often paid so cents ad
mission to a musical entertainment
that would not compare with this one
He was the only person in the audi
ence and the performers were very
considerate and rendered any selec
ton he called for.

day on the Gold Hill ranch on

SAMPLING SMITH
VALLEY MINE

Geo. w. Lloyd, mining engineer
who has headquarters in Reno, is at
the Smith Valley Mines Company's
property for the purpose of making
thorough examination of the proper
ty and sampling it in the interests of
the stockholders. 1t is about time that
the stockholders began to show some
signs of activity. With such prop
erty they should interest themselves
to the extent of seeing that the COM
pany is provided with funds to bring
profitable results. The property has
all the showings that one could ask
for to make it a profitable, producing
mine. The affairs of the company
have been tangled up for some time
past and the property is now in the
hands of a receiver, with good
chance of passing into other hands
through the apparent timidity of those
now interested. One of these days
however, the property is going to
make good. Then those who lost
their nerve and let go of it will won
der what happened that they did not
stay with the pot The proposition
is evidently too big for some people
but it is to be hoped that those who
have been active in the affairs of the
company with a view of placing the
property on its feet. will stay to get
a slice of the future wealth which will
be produced from it,

SKIPPED THE TOWN

The first of tbs week the Carlisle
Bros, who have been operating a
clothes cleaning establishment in Yer
ington for some months past, took
their departure late one night. They
hired rig and went to Wabuska to
catch the late south bound train. Sew
eral creditors mourn their hasty de
parture and there was a report in cir
culation that they were to be brought
back here to face more serious charges
than beating their creditors. Some
months ago the elder one of these
boys and his young wife lost their
little baby and they took the remains
to California for burial at the old
home of Mrs. Carlisle She did not
accompany her husband when he re-
turned to Yerington. People here
were kind to them when they were
in trouble but it seems as though
this kindness was wasted. 1t appears
now that the younger one of the boys
was not the brother of the elder one,
but no one seems to know, definitely,
what his name is.

George Hatch was up from Oakland
the first of the week for his house
looking for potatoes and later in the
week Wood, Curtis & Co.'S repre-

the same errand. Both buyers secured
several carloads of spuds and the price
paid ranged all the way from $40 to
SIS per ton, according to the quality
of the potatoes. And had it not been
