On the LeUeI
By C. W.
By C. W.


Reserving all comment, we republish
! the following article for the benefit,
information and further advancement
o. all concerned:
Love has it's superstitions, and in
teresting ones they are. Every maid,
for instance, knows that eff she marry
in the month Of May she will surely
rue the day." But what of all the
other months? Which will bring
happiness and which must be shun?
Loves calendar has all been land
marked for her guidance She is told
or unmistakable authority:
When February birds do mate
You may wed, nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can
Joy for maiden and for man.
Marry when June roses blow,
Over land and sea you'll go.
Those who in July do wed
Must labor always for their bread.
And so on, until December SHOWS
fall fast, marry, and true love will
last"
In all the year June and October
seem to shine with the brightest prom
Use of nupptial bliss, and the days of
happiest omen are June and October
8. The maid who wears her bridal
veil on either of these golden days is
assured of all sweet things in her we'd
ded life.
Then each month has it's unlucky
days, which lovers on wedding bent
will be wise to avoid. After all, they
only number thrity-two in the year, so
that there is a liberal margin for fell
icity
Thus February 6, Z and IS must be
struck out of the nuptial calendar; in
March the list, 9th and 8th; in April
the 9Th and 18th; in May the 5th, 9Th,
and 7th, and so one to the 18th of De-
cember, the last ill-omended day of
the year.
Of all the days of the month the 9Th
holds Least promise of happiness and
the Sd the greatest. Even in lucky
June lovers must give the 9Th, 7th and
18th a wide berth; and in October the
9Th.
Having chosen the month in the
light of this good counsel crucial
question still faces the would be-happy
couple. Which day of the week shall
il be? And here none but the blind
the wilfully blind need ga astray.
Friday is admitted day to avoid the
altar-except in Scotland, where it is
curiously enough the favorite day of
all the week. Tuesday and Wednesday
are full of romance. Thursday has one
conspicuously lucky, if inconvenient,
hour-that before sunrise; while
Sunday, Monday and Saturdays are
Neutral days. The qualities of the
days are fairly displayed in the follow
ing not unfamiliar lines
Monday for wealth
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no luck at all.
When once the happy day is fixed
beware Of changing it, for that way
certain disaster lies.

Their last pound of fresh meat a

Virginia City, and the Comstock faces

Gold Hill and Silver City are in even

The snow was six feet deep on c

saGEBRUsH ASHES WORTH
HUNDRED DOLLARS PER TON

Nevada has long been considered
a land of wonderful opportunities. IL
has a long list of infant industries
which. in time. are bound to develop
into full grown ones. The latest to
demand attention is eommercializing
ashes from ~sagebrush- Heretofore
farmers who have cleared off the
desert acres have labored under the
assumption that the ashes were
worthless and that the burning oil the
brush from the land has made up a
legitimate bill of expense in prepar-
ing the soil for the planting OF grains,
SAYS the Phoebe Record.
Now 1t is claimed that the sage
brush ashes contain potash in COM
mercial quantity and that they are
really worth money. This fact has re-
Gently come to light and only a few
days age NJ. l.. Lee, cashier of the
Bank of Phoebe, received a letter from
a chemical manufacturing company
operating at Richmond. Virginia, Of
fering him 500 per ton ( o. b. Phoebe
for all the sage brush ash sent dur
ing the next half year. The product
Is to be placed in sacks for ship
ment.
It appears that experiments made
recently at the University of Nevada
developed the fact that the ashes
from southern Nevada s~agebrush con-
tain a sufficient amount of potash to
make it worth while. These expe-
riments were conducted by Prof. Ro-
manzo Adams, and it was through
him that the Virginia chemical COM
pany was placed in touch with Mr..
Lee, and a bonified offer of 500 per
ton made for the product. 1t is
claimed that samples of the ashes
sem to the laboratory of the chemi-
cal company contained a base of 81
per cent of soluable potash and it is
here that the prospect of launching
a new industry in this state becomes
interesting.
From parties who have read up on
the subject 1t has been learned that
the extraction of potash from desert
growths is not new; that 1t is now be-
ing practiced in Australia with a con-
siderable degree of success. Authori-
ties on the subject assert that the
burning of sagebrush will produce an
ash product of from s to 10 per cent;
hence, based on the lower figure, one
ton of crude sage brush would burn
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1916-01-23

to 100 pounds of ash, and this prod
uct being worth five cents per pound
would give a return of $50 out OF
which would have to come the ex-
pense of cutting and burning the
brush. sacking the product and de-
livery to the railroad station.
; 1t is surprising to say the least, to
learn that plain sage brush, which
travellers over the desert have been
accustomed to using for fire wood, is
actually valued at IS per ton n the
ashes therefrom. 500 per ton, and
a Acton carload, $4,000.
1t would appear from the foregoing
figures that good money can be made
i'm this brush burning enterprise II
the undertaking were gone at syste-
m~atically. 1t would be especially
profitable to persons who might have
a large area of sage land to clear for
themselves, for it is safe to say that
the cost of improvement could be
more than met in commercializing
the ashes retained after burning the
brush.

Mr.. Wyckoff was a resident or

 GOING ID NOME
HEAD OF ROAD ISSION MAKES STATEMENT CON
 CERNlNG PLANS

That he has authorized the cV- penditure Oi S45,000 on the stretch of road between Fairbanks and Rich ardson was the statement made yes terday by Col Wilds r. Richardson, chairman of the Alaska Road com mission. who is now in Fairbanks Col Richardson will not be here long. as he intends to leave on the next outgoing boat for Ruby and Nome to attend to duties which call him to those places. He will leave road matters here and at Ruby in the hands of Captain Jo- seph Mehaffey, engineer officer of the commission and R. ! Sommers, local road superintendent Captain Mehaffey is due here today from Richardson, at which place he was met yesterday by MT. Sommers in an automobile
 In addition to the $45,0OO mon toned above it is the intention of the road commission to keep be tween $15,00O and s20O0O as a re- serve fund for the same stretch of road. The reserve fund will not be used this summer, but will be saved until next year, when il will be come necessary to repair the trails now being built.
 There are several large crews of men now working on this end of the trail. One is located out near the edge of town and is working
 toward the Eighteen mile house. Another Is located near Salcha. and still third is working between Salcha and Richardson. Nearly 100 men and about 40 head of horses are being employed in the work.
 Col. Richardson expresses himself as being greatly pleased with the size of the appropriation made by congress for the roads and trails i of Alaska. He says that he had hoped to spend at least 5000 per mile on the trail between Fairbanks i and the coast. but that owing to the calls for road funds from other parts of the territory the mileage | expenditure will have to be lessened between s200 and $500. Which means that between $7OO and $500 per mile
 is to be spent on the Valdez trail
 Col. Richardson dreams of the day when Alaska will be covered
 with a network of wagon roads. l And he firmly believes that such
 time will come. along with the de I Velopment of the territory's resourc- es One road which he hopes to see
 started within the next few years i is from Fairbanks via Dawson to 1 Skagway.
 Of course, there are as yet no definite plans for such a highway.
 But in talking the matter over with one of the head road men of Yukon
 territory Col Richardson became con yinced that the project is feasible.
 There is therefore a tentative agree
 ment between the two officials that each will work to get his respective
 government to do it's part in get
 ting an appropriation for just such trail.
