being considerably curtailed.
Efforts were made by the State au-

how much damage has been done by
the flames. Serious fires were re-
ported from Center, Monroe, Hunting

State has large reserves. Spread of
the fire was checked in some in

SHARP ADVANCE IN
WRITING MATERIAL PRICES

Dyes used in coloring typewriter
ribbons, carbons, inks, and the like are
almost impossible to obtain, with the
result that the prices have doubled
and trebled in many instances. The
Waterman people have gone out of the
manufacture of the ink heretofore ex-
clusively used by many, with the re-
suit that substitute is being used.
Chemicals that were in times of
peace purchased for $50 per ton can
not be had now at 5000 per ton. Book
and writing paper has advanced Is
per cent and paper concerns find it i'm
possible to keep pace with demands
that representatives of coast houses
have been called in from the Orient
because of the inability to furnish or
ders into running hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars.

TEST RUN MADE
AT KENNEDY MILL

L. st. d. Roylanee, general manager,
and S. L. Barry, superintendent of the
Kennedy mine, arrived in town yester-
day and left for San Francisco on
Southern Pacific No. 10 last evening.
While in the city they will secure GER
tain parts needed for their mill and
Mr.. Barry will return in about three
weeks, while Mr.. Roylance expects to
be absent for six weeks.
A test run was made last week with
ten tons of ore, and while the machin-
cry worked perfectly, owing to a lack
Of pebbles the ore could not be ground
fine enough, and for that reason no
cleanup was made. However, upon the
return of Messrs. Roylance and Barry
this defect viii be overcome and the
mill will be in a position to run as
soon as the ore is mined.
Mr.. Roylanee stated that he went IN
to the mine before coming away, and
while everything was apparently in
good order, it is problematical as to
when mining can be resumed, as the
earthquake shocks still continue. One
night last week there were seven in an
hour, and when the men reached Gold
banks, Sunday, on the way in to Win
ncmueca, there were two severe shocks
felt. lasting for fifteen seconds each.
Monday night they stopped at an old
house at Mud Springs, and during the
nights were nearly shaken out of their
hunks by heavy shocks.

ALLEN BRAGG PAYS
VISIT TO THE COAST

In a lette to a Reno friend recently,
Allen Bragg, at one time editor of the
Silver State and segeant at arms of the
upper house of the last Nevada legis-
lature, writes interestingly of a visit
to San Francisco, as published in the
Gazette:
"When I was in the current fire.

ago, however, to renew my aequaint-

stroyed and rebuilt and that Oakland
was becoming of more and more inn
portance to the nimble nickel chaser,
as well as to the man who counts his
wealth in the millions, l had slight
conception of what a task San Fran
cisco had accomplished or how the
nickel chaser had developed.
"The new San Francisco is mar

P. p. l. E. has added many more beau

has made of the city what nothing
else could have accomplished in half
a century. Besides, every outlying sub
urb of San Francisco, such as San Ra-
fael, Piedmont, Richmond, etc., has
sprung into life as thought the heart
of nature was touched by the wand of
progress, wealth and culture, and had
located near the Golden Gate a place

that wealth enjoys its cosy corner,

MINING INVESTMENTS
MOST REMUNERATIVE

In a statement recently made by
Chester R. Lawrence, prominent
inancier of Boston, the claim is made
that of the average returns f-cm tho
capital invested in various industries,
mining leads all others, says the Ari-
zona State Bureau of Mines. His state
ment in part follows:
''The National Banker, in a recent
issue, makes the unequivocal state
ment that the combined dividends paid
by the. gold and silver companies of
the United States are greater than the
banking institutions of the United
States. That the combined dividends
paid by the copper companies of the
United States are greater than the
combined dividends paid by all the
railroads in the United States, and that
50 per cent of the freight handled by
these same railroads is either ore or
some commodity connected with the
mining and milling of ore.
"To this somewhat astounding and
not generally known fact, Bradstreet g
and Dunn's commercial agencies sup
ply the somewhat startling addenda
that but 36 per cent of all legitimate
mining investments fail, as against 81
per cent in commercial lines.
"Seventy-six mines of the United
States have paid in dividends in 1915
up to October l, over $75,000,O00.
"'During 1907 5000, 100000 was lost
in gilt-edge securities and about as
much during the past two years, which
was more than was ever lost in min
ing.
Government figures show the fol-
lowing returns on capital invested:
Railroads, per cent; national banks,
6A per cent; insurance, IL per cent;
numbering, IA per cent; manufacturing,
Ii per cent; mining, 1s2 per cent

IMPROVED CONDITION IN
NEYADA'S WOOL INDUSTRY

The American Wool and Cotton Re
porter said, during the week:
Twenty-Five per cent more wool is
being daily consumed than ever before
in the history of the country, it is
stated. Stocks of wool in the hands
of Boston dealers are rapidly being ex-
hausted, but foreign woods are arriv-
ing in considerable quantities. The
John Taylor clip of Nevada, 100000
pounds, has been contracted for by
eastern dealers at % cents a pound.
The wooden goods market contin-
ues to show much activity, but the in
terest is not as great as it has been in
recent weeks In the heavyweight
goods the greatest number of lines
have been withdrawn, because sellers
expect to obtain higher quotations. The
market is assuming a speculative atti-
tude.
'eThe dyestuffs difficulty is still
great and many methods have been
adopted to get ont fabrics which can
be offered. The export demand is al
ready much more important than is
generally believed. Buying has been
largely on summer fabrics.
from the coast are arriving in the state
and making arrangements for the
spring clips, says the Nevada News
Letter. According to prices already of
fered, wool will bring around 20 cents
a pound this year and the market viii
be good owing to the fact that Eng
land has declared an embargo on all
Australian wool, where a large part of
the crop used in the United States pre-
viously came from.
According to Julius Sehwarzchild,
manager of Bissinger & Co., the wool
crop in Nevada this spring will be
about 5,S90,000 pounds, the same as
last year. Figuring this to average 20
cents a pound, the product will bring
about $1,17S,000. Elko county will pro
duce large part of this amount with
Humboldt county a close second and
Washoe county third.
The price may vary somewhat, but
it will average around 20 cents, al
though some contracts have been made
at a higher price. Few losses from the
cold weather occurred and the first
shearing will be begun about March
20 in most counties of the state. w. G.
Donald, buyer for Eiseman Bros. of
Boston, shipped 10000 pounds of last
years clip from Winnemucca to Bos-
ton last week. He paid 17h cents for
the lot.
The degree of disease in the sheen
of the state is gradually decreasing
and owing to the rigid inspection
which has been carried out and the
general cooperation of sheep owners,
Nevada sheep are in almost perfect
condition. During last year there were
only 1909 sheep infected with the
scabbies or other diseases and these
were given two dippings and when the
sheep went to the winter ranges they
were all considered in first class con
dition. In 1914, there were 1854 sheep
infected with seabbies or some other
disease and the large decrease is at
tributed to the rigid inspection made
by the sheep commission.
