Russian Colony For Nevada

Nevada may have a Russian colony
in the near future, according to ad-
vices from Reno. A representative
from Petrograd, who is looking over
the lands along the Nevada. Caifor-
MIA & Oregon railroad north of Reno,
stated that several of the wealthy
citizens of Russia havebecome inter-
ested in establishing colony in the
West and he stated that he was ia
vorably impressed with the oppor-
tunities offered by Nevada. The
burdens of the war and the increased
taxation that will result from the
war are assigned as the cause of the
movement.

MINERS AWAIT SPRING

Salt Lake Mining Review: Through
out the West the atmosphere of the
mining camps is charged with feel
ing of unrest and expectation. Pros
pectors, operators and investors alike
are impatiently waiting for the
SHOWS in the mountains to melt and
the weather to moderate, that they
may be able to either resume or be-
gin their activities in the mining
field.
The year just passed has been one
of the busiest in the annals of west
ern mining, but unless all signs are
misleading. 1916 will witness still
brisker doings by the mining men.
Attracted by the reports of highly
remunerative finds, and further en-
couraged by the present strong mar
ket for practically all metals, veri-
table army of prospectors is marking
time. awaiting an opportunity to
trudge over the hills and seek for
riches. The approaching Spring will
see these men industriously at work,
and many new mining companies
that have been financed during the
past few months will begin opera
tions.
No matter how crowded or abun-
dainty prospected a mining district
may be, there is always room and
plenty of chances for more prospect
ors. Some of the best mines extant
lay undiscovered for years in sup
posably matured camps. until their
precious veins of mineral were opened
by lucky persistent individuals. OF
the large horde of prospectors now
in the mountains. each has proper
fighting chance to make good.

Demonstration Car For Nevada

A demonstration train which will
be jointly directed by the University
of Nevada and the University of
Utah. will travel over the San Pedro.
Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad
early this Spring. The car will be
provided with lecturers from the two
universities and several companies
manufacturing pumping. electrical
and farm machinery will have ex-
hibits on the train, says the Gazette.
Plans for handling the demonstration
train have not yet been fully COM
pleted, but it is understood that the
train will make the trip within
another six weeks. Douglas White,
industrial agent for the railroad,
spent several days in Reno and dis
cussed the matter with the Univer-
sity authorities.

5000 Coyotes Killed In Nevada

More than 5000 coyotes, large
number being infected with rabies.
have been trapped. shot or poisoned
in Nevada within six months, says j.
f. Dorman, inspector in charge of
the local diary division of the United
States bureau of animal industry,
who returned Wednesday from Reno,
where he lectured before the farm
ers' roundup. says the Salt Lake
ld-Republican. Mr.. d orm n
says he learned that during the ap-
parently successful campaign against
rabid coyotes, they were directly re-
sponsible for stock losses aggregating
more than $4,000. He added that
stockmen of Nevada have raised a
fund of $4,000 to combat the
ecOurPe.

All tons to the acre. The ranking

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Sell Lands To Build Roads, Aiso

Carson Appeal: The Appeal has
had little to say on the Pittman land
bill, mainly for the reason that it is
too large a question to discuss with
out great deal of study. From all
appearances, however, il seems to be
about as closely safeguarded as most
bills of that character, and the pro-
vision is also made that further safe
guards, if they are found necessary.
can be thrown about it by the State
authorities.
There is one improvement, though.
that the Appeal believes could have
been made to the bill, and that is
that part of the money derived from
the sale of lands should. be used for
the purpose of building roads in Ne
vada. Whether laws prevented that
or not we do not know, but road
building in this State is a problem
that soon or late has got to be solved.
1t is too big a proposition for the
counties and must come under State
and federal operation. To properly
equip Nevada with roads is going to
cost millions and it is beyond the
power of the 16 counties to attempt
to raise the money wherewith to do
it. 1t must come from the sale of a
part of the 5O,OOO.o 900 and odd acres
of land that yet remain of the pub
lie domain.

piled with blank forms of application

The State veterinary control SER
vice, under the direction of w. B.

cular cattle may be recognized
The State board will make it COM

brand them with the TBC stamp,
and the board thus hopes to elimin-
ate the disease from the herds of the
State. The State board tests the
stock wherever the disease is sus-

Has DRY" Beverage With "Kick"

The Bridgeport Chronicle says that
Mono County's drastic prohibition
laws are being threatened seriously
by the new 'pizen' being concocted
by the sons of Mono County. 1t is a
substitute for corn liquor called
Meal Beer or Rip Gizzard, and is
highly intoxicating. 1t is said to
have the far famed Ticker which
makes a jack-rabbit spit in bull
dogs eye. looking like a dose of
soothing syrup. The recipe calls for
a peck of meal. 10 pounds of sugar
and two or three pounds of dried ap-
piles. Five gallons of water are add
ed. and the concoction is set back
of the stove or in the sun to ferment.
In few days it has worked, and is
then drawn off ready for the con-
Sumer."

The Tonopah Times, started but
three months ago, has increased its
size from a six to a seven column
papof, in order to meet its increased
business demands.
The Carson City school trustees
have brought JOY to the hearts OF
younger Carson by announcing that
school will be held on Saturday for
the next few weeks. This has been
made necessary because of vacations
due to epidemics.
w. G.. Wright, who is finishing up
the present ownership maps for Elko
County, tells us that he is finding out
many facts about this county that
are unknown. among them being the
one that one-half of the property
owners of this county are men who
have yet to make final proof on their
lands.-Free Press.
The new fire tanks which have
been under construction on Mount
Brougher, near Tonopah, for the
protection of the silver camp, have
been completed. and as soon as the
mains of l0-inch pipe are laid the
water will be turned into them.
The new tanks will give Tonopah a
system second to none in the State.
While working in drift No. 504 on

Jumbo Extension mine at Goldfield
Saturday evening, Nathaniel B. Gill

rock from the hanging wall of the
drift. The accident took place a few
minutes before the dinner hour and
was reported shortly before 7:3O by
Thomas Glynn. who was working
with the deceased when the rock fell.
The Ely school buildings are
crowded to capacity, according to
recent announcements from the dis
trict. For some months past it has
been impossible to receive new stu
dents in the schools because of over
crowded rooms. The school board
is considering the erection of two
new buildings to take care of the in
creased number of school children.
