BUYS MASON VALLEY
BREEDS AND BOOSTS
Contributed By DOC"

Mr.. A. G.. Macallan, now the man
ager of the Land Development Com
pany, at Battle Mountain, Nevada,
formerly manager of the Mason Val
ley and Gregory ranches, also con-
nected with the Mason Valley Bank
has been visiting the vicinity fol-
several days past.
Happily renewing his thoroughly
established friendship among his
former neighbors and friends, Mr.
Macallan's time was occupied to a
large extent in purchasing Mason
Valley bred stock for the Battle
Moutain ranch. The result of his
industry was that he secured two
carloads of young cattle and one car
load of horese, the latter being not
such animals as would be accepted
for the Europeon war market, but
consisted of the highest class of farm
ing animals. The cattle were pur-
chased from Mac" Wilson and his
neighbors and the horses were pur-
chased from different breeders of tht
Valley. The prices for the horses
were unusually high, one fine team
of brood mares being sold by Charles
Aultman, of the old Reymer's ranch
for six hundred dollars.
Everyone has "cherked up" at the
CHEEKY word and cordial hand-griI

ever "hit the pike" or put up his little
'pean" for Mason Valley

DIAMOND VALLEY HAS EPI-
DEMIC-RABIE COYOTES

Several cases of coyotes attacking
cattle in Diamond valley have been
teported this week, and from the
manner of attack it is thought the
animals were rabid. Felix Maggini
reports the loss of two head recently
bitten and Charley Regli says coy
ote got into a band of their cattle
last week and bit six head before il
was driven off. A. c. Floria shot and
killed coyote at the slough, eight
miles north of Eureka, last Satur
day, that appeared to be affected with
rabies, and the stockmen in this vi
cinty are understood to have applied

LUDWIG EMPLOYING TWO
HUNDRED MEN
By Ernest War;, Superintendent.

By Ernest War;, Superintendent
The past few weeks have brought
about notable changes i'll the mine
ard mill at Ludwig The mill i.
running again, and every thing around
the camp is humminS with activity
In fact. no greater evidence of pros.
perity than we have at present has
been seen here for years. The Com
pany now has force of two hundred
men working in the mine and mill
and will continue to add materially
to this number for some tir.e to come
The mine has never looked better
than it does now, and development
work continues to open up additional
deposits of high grade ore, together
with almost an unlimited supply OF
low grade. We are now mining ap
proximately twenty-five cars of high
grade ore per month and shipping
to the smelters in Utah. and this
nets us somewhere around $50,0000C
per month. This ore is being ex-
tracted from the various levels in tht
Ludwig Mine down to and including
the 600 foot level. All ore is care
fully sorted, the high grade going &c
Utah, and anything running under
per cent copper being treated in the
company's teaching plant.
All the fine grinding machinery and
other mill equipment is installed, and
seems to be working nicely. 1t is ex-
pected to be treating two hundred fifty,
tons of ore daily within the next two
or three days, and should make a pro.
fit on all ore running above per cen
copper, although it is impossible to
say definitely just what our millinp
costs are going to be per ton.

LEADERS CONFER
WITH ROOSEVELT

Colonel Theordore Roosevelt had a
conference here the other day with
George w. Perkins, Governor Hiram
Johnson, Oscar S. Straus and Ches-
ter H. Rowell of California to discuss
the future course of the progressive
party. His tentative refusal of the
presidential nomination and the ad
visibility of having some one named
in his stead as candidate by the na-
tional executive committee of the
party were considered
Mr.. Roosevelt would not talk for
publication on what took place at tht
conference, but Mr., Perkins issued the
following statement;
"All members of the progressive
party and its organization should re-
member that at the close of the pro-
gressive convention in Chicago Q
meeting of the national committee
was called to be held in Chicago June
g, week from next Monday. This
will be after the democratic conven-
ton at St. Louis, and the result OF
that convention will be known.
Sufficient time will have elapsed
after the progressive, republican and
lemocatic conventions to allow our
committeeman in each of the states
to learn in a general way the public
sentiment in each state and to bring
this information to the meeting of our
committee. The action which will
then be taken by our committee, or
June 26, should be awaited by pro-
gressives as individuals, and by the
various local and state organizations
No action should be taken by indi-
vidual progressives or by the various
organizations until the action of the
national committee has been made
public"
Mr.. Perkins said that this message
in substance had been sent tonight by
telegraph to the members of the ma
tonal committee and to the state
chairman.

The same things will eventually
happen in the cases of copper, lead

due to the fact that the Iroudction

quickly and moreover, the business
in those metals is more concentrated
and better organized than in other
cases, and for that reason, partly, the
advances in them were not SO extrava-

The alarming thing about the return

people have forgotten what normal

Previous to the war tungsten ore was

being held to consider what steps
should be taken to relieve the suf-

to the effect that ore will be held
back until smelters pay what it is
worth, that mines will be reduced,
that there will be steps to secure a
tariff that will keep ore prices up tc

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL" AND
THE WhRNNe IS PLAN

During the last year we have wit
messed extraordinary rises in many
OF the metals-fgures having been at
tanned that five years ago would have
been characterized as preposterous If
anybody had talked about them.
Among the major metals zinc has
been the most spectacular, among the
minor metals aluminium, antimony
and tungsten have been the star per-
formers. OF late there has been q
sharply declining tendency in the mar
kets for zinc, antimony and tungsten
that probably foreshadows the return
of those metals to normal levels
There is nothing mysterious or male
violent in the recent behavior of these
markets. On the contrary their ac-
ton is precisely what ought to be and
what has been expected all along.
The cycle is obvious. Extraordin-
airy and insistent demand elevates
price. High price stimulates new
production. Sooner or later the time
comes when the supply ou.strips
the the demand, whereupon the price
declines, eventually reaching the nor
NAL level at which the business may
be conducted with the ordinary per-
centage of profit. The time of such
a cycle is determined primarily by
the facility with which new produc-
ton may be organized.
In spelter the deficiency was never
of ore supply, but rather of smelling
capacity. During the last year new
smelling capacity has been provided
in rapid and even romantic manner
Since the first of 1916 the reports Of
the organization of new smelling
companies have been so frequent that
it became a good deal of a Job to keep
track of them. Similarly has the
production of antimony ore and tung-
stem ore been stimulated in all parts
OF the world, but especially in the
United States. Let anybody gun

TOMATO CULTURE IN
STATE OF NEVADA

Foreword: Every farmer and town

ent tomatoes for home consumption
Even in the mining camps where wa
ter may be too valuable for ordinary
gardening, it is economy to grow &
dozen or more tomato plants to sup
ply the family table For Boys and
Girls Gardening Clubs the tomato
offers one of the best and most
salable of crops. From the canning
standpoint the tomato is of special
Importance. At present, the people Of
Nevada are paying many thousands
of dollars annually for tomatoes
grown in California that could as well
be grown here.
The most successful grower OF to
motoes in Nevada is Mr.. c. ]. Fair
child, whose farm is located abou
ten miles east of Reno, in the Truckee
valley Mr.. Fairchild has applied
to tomato culture a high degree oi
skill and intelligence and has achieved
results of special interest and value
to all who may be interested in grow
ing the crop in this State. During the
early years OF his venture he tried
out the adaptability of q dozen or
more of the leading varieties and
strains of tomatoes to determine
which, unGer Nevada conditions, gave
the best results. Tie tomato finally
chosen was the Early Marketeer,
which ne has improved by careful
selection and now grows exclusively

BUTTER SCORING AT
YERINGTON THIS MONTH

While visiting in Yerington last
Saturday the following interview was
obtained from Profess V. Z. Scott
State Leader in Dairying, which VIC
think will Interest every farmer in
Lyon County
This month the Nevada buttermak-
ers sent samples to Yerington for
scoring and comparison. The high
est score was o4.3 per cent and was
won by E. c. Newman of Lamoille
in Elko County. The lowest score
was 81 per cent and the average was
SO per cent. The highest moisture
content was l5.o per cent and the
lowest l2.5. Many consumers thinl
that butter with low moisture con-
tent is better than that with a great.
er amount, but in this they are mis-.
taken. Of the two samples of butter
the one with Is. 9 per cent moisture
has better body than the one with
but l2.5 per cent moisture. While
the moisture is the principal pront
in butter making it is also very essen
tial to give the product the proper
grain Butter with low moisture
usually very similar to salve and is
greasy, and very much less palatablt
than that with the higher moisture
The maximum amount of moisture
than butter can legally maintain near
est this standard is doing the most
for his patrons. For three months
an average of 1873 per cent has been
maintained by the Yerington cream
cry, showing that the buttermakers
employed there know their business
By cooperation of dairymen, in pro
dncing a better grade of cream, Yer
ington butter will become synonym
for quality. Some of the factors nee
essary to bring this condition out
are: clean milk and cream cans
sterilized with steam or boiling (not
merely hot) water clean corrals:
clean milk houses; washing and steri-
lizing of separators after ch seapeara
tion; udders of cows wiped with damp
cloth before milking; milking done
with dry hands; cream delivered at
least three times each week.

ton to President Wilson, couched in
terms of which there could be no mis-
take. The president accepted it at
once and Mr.. Hughes sent the fol-

Mr.. Chairman and Delegates: |
have not desired the nomination.

But in this critical period of our ma
tional history / recognize that it is
your right to summon and that it is
my paramount duty OF respond. You
speak at a time of national exigency
transcending merely partisan consid-
erations. You voice the demand for
dominant. thorough American
ism with firm protection upbuildng
policies essential to our peace and
devoted to the ideals of honorable
peace. We wish to promote wise
and practical measures for the just
settlements or international disputes.
In view of our abiding ideals, there
is no danger of militarism in this
country. We have no policy of ag-
gression no lust for territory, no zeal
for strife. 1t is in this spirit that we
demand defense and we condemn the
inexcusable neglect that has been
shown in this matter of first nation

ready for every emergency.
