MISMANAGEMENT AND FAIL
URES IN MINING INDUSTRY

1t has been truthfully said that one
Of the greatest evils of the mining in
dustry is mismanagement, says an ex-
change. Mining is a business-a big
business. There are schools where men
get special training for this particular
business, and then grow gray at the
work, and many win admit that even
then they do not know it all. And yet,
many an eastern company have elected
for general manager some eastern
friend who, perchance, never saw =
mine and would have to look in the
dictionary to find out the definition of
the word, send him out West and ex-
peet him to tackle the job that oft
times would be hard one for vet
eran manager.
But the new "manager. " who posi-
blv was an inefficient clerk or worth.
less son of one of the prominent stock
holders, arrives at the property swell

term in public office, and begins squan-

vantage that ordinary common sense
would teach some men. He will not

how it should be done, but keeps on
until he uses all the money the stock.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL
NOTES OF BUENA VISTA
Bnena Vista Valley.

Buena Vista Valley, Jan. 81.
We note by the Reno Gazette that
Unionville was showed in for four
DAYS. Such was not the case, as the
stage made regular trips to Inlay and
back the same day, distance of 46
miles. The snow was about Is inches
Oh the level, but had drifted consider
ably in the gulches. After the first
heavy snowfall, sleighing was very fine
for the first time in ten years.
Coasting was enjoyed by the resi-
dents of Unionville, including the mar
ried folks, old and young.
"We don't need skis to get to Tn.
ionville.'
A delightful surprise party was
given on Frank Davidson in Union
Vile last Sunday evening. Games were
played and refreshments served consist
ing of cake and ice cream. Those
present were: Messrs. and Mesdames

PROSPECTORS'
SHORT COURSE

Registration has already commenced
for the prospeetors' short course which
will commence at the University next
Monday, says the Journal. Professor
L. G. Lincoln, head of the Mackay
school of mining, stated last night that
he is in receipt of numerous letters
from prospective students who intend
to take the course. Many among these
are from those who attended last year
signifying their intention to return. A.
IL. Scott of Lovelock has written that
he will be here and bring with him
three students from his town. Numer-
Gus applications from mining men out
side of the state have been made for
reservations at Lincoln Hall. 1t is not
able that there are more applications
in from Oregon and Utah than from
Nevada. This is probably due to the
fact that the Nevadans are coming
without notification.
The "Prospectors' Short Course" is,
as the name implies, brief course in
prospecting, and will be given from
January 81 to February 90. The in
struction which viii be given during
this time is designed to aid the pros
pectors of Nevada, but is open to resi-
dents of other states. The work in
cludes lectures on prospecting, assay
ing, mineralogy, geology, chemistry,
hygiene and sanitation and mining
law. Other subjects will be laboratory
work in assaying, prime movers, and
first aid to the injured. In the allotted
time it will be impossible to cover all
of the subjects enumerated in detail,
but the attempt will be made to ac-
quaint the prospector with as many
practical points as possible.
The first short course given last year
met with the approval of all who at
tended, as is evidenced by their deter
mination to return. Registration will
be held from s to O'Clock Monday
morning at Morrill, hall. 1t is expected
that there will be a large attendance
from Reno, as no charges are made Tor
the instruction given, but fee of $5
will be collected to cover part of the
actual cost of supplies used during the
course. No text books are required, al
| though certain standard books will be
recommended for perusal. Upon sat
isfactory completion of the course
certificate will be issued.

TAFT OPPOSES THE
INTEMPERANCE OF PROHIBITION

Declaring himself in favor of tenn
perance, former President Taft has
just struck blow at what he calls the
intemperance of proposed prohibition
in California. His declaration, before
convention of California hotel men,
has become a big topic in the Golden
state, where it is being given wide cir
eulation by the bonifaees.
''I believe in temperance, said Mr..
Taft, "and what l want to avoid is
that the men who do not believe In
temperance and the men who are mod
crate in their views of everything
should not be ground between the top
and the neither millstones of the ex.
tremes on both sides of that question.
Therefore, | am opposed to either
saloon keeper rule or the extreme or
prohibition. Let us deal with the mat
ter in a common sense way. Let us
deal with human nature as it is. Under
stand what the conditions are and then
adopt laws to ameliorate them. Do not
put a lot of laws on our statute books
that we know in our hearts we can't
enforee-just an attempt to fool the
people.
"Let us have a system of local or-
tion where in community they will
support the enforcement of law
Jubilant over the declaration of the
former chief executive, President Wills,
Of the California Hotel Mems assoeia-
tion, declares "the speech will stand
as a guide for the future action of ho-
tel men the country over"

GREEK WOMEN STILL DRUDGE
Modern Emancipation Of the Sex Has
Not Vet Arrived In That
Country.

The position of women in modern
Greek life is semioriental, to say the
least. While the great ladies of Ath-
ems have an active social career,
Sreek women, generally speaking, have
no individuality.
At parties the women generally sit
apart, while in the country they are
almost never to be found at table IL
guests are present, and upon them
falls the greater portion of the labor Of
the household.
Following the plow, harvesting and
work upon the roads are common en-
ployments for the Greek peasant
woman. Unmarried, her parents and
her brothers control her conduct, and
a husband means merely a change OF
masters for whom she tolls while he
sits at ease.
An improvement, however, is gradu-
ally developing. The Greek, much
more than some of his Balkan neigh
bors, has outgrown the notion that
the sole occupation fit for a man is
warfare. Through schools, endowed
and under royal patronage; through
other enterprises, and especially
through the demands of modern busi-
ness life. new avenues for employ
ment and advancement are opening
for women, and in another generation
1t is altogether likely that the WON
en- of Greece will be found with their
sisters of the West, demanding as
rights what they now regar& as great
privileges.-G. H. Moses in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.

NO MORE NEW ZEALAND
WOOL FOR NEUTRAL COUNTRIES

The Textile Alliance, Inc, has been
advised that the Prime Minister OF
New Zealand has announced that the
New Zealand government, acting on
instructions from London, has directed
the cessation of the expectation of wool
to neutral countries, says the New
York Daily Trade Record.
The question as to wool already pur
chased privately is under consideration
by the Cabinet of the commonwealth.
Associated Press cables state that
the premier hopes to obtain permission
for the shipment of wool bought at the
recent sales.

RULES FOR MEASURING
HAY IN THE STACK

Many inquiries have been received
hy the extension division relative to
the best method of measuring hay in
the stack for tonnage. The volume Of
a stack will vary somewhat according
to the length of time the hay has been
stacked, the kind and quality of hay,
and the character of the stack. With
alfalfa hay that has been stacked for
30 days it is usual to compute an S-ft.
cube, or 512 Gu. it., as ton. When the
hay has been stacked 5 or months
usually 71a ft. cube, or 422 Gu. it.,
is calculated as a ton. In old, fully
settled, stacks of grass hay it is usual
to allow 4 ft. cube, or 343 Gu. it,, for
ton; or sometimes in very large stacks
only ZIG Gu. it., or ft. cube, is al
lowed per ton.
The volume of NOW is readily Sc
cured by multiplying together the
length, width and height. There ars
different methods for measuring hay in
the stack depending upon the shape OF
the stack and also upon its size. With
long stack the usual method is to
add the width of the stack to the over
throw in feet; divide this sum by 4
(Which gives one side of the square),
multiply the quotient by itself, and
this product by the length of the stack
in feet. This win give the number or
Gu. ft. in the stack.
For small stacks the rule is to sub
tract the width from the overthrow,
divide by 2, multiplying by width and
length of stack in feet, and dividing
the result by the number of Gu. fit. In
ton. In Nevada the latter method is
the one commonly known as the "gov-
ernment method and is most general
ly used.-Knight.

SNOW AND WRECK
TIE UP RAILROADS

Snow fell throughout the state dur
ing last night, Winnemucca getting
about three inches. INLAY seems TO
have had the lightest fall of any point
in the county, none falling there during
the night, with a depth of only one and
half inches on the ground as the ne,
result of the severe storms of the past
two weeks. From Amos north into Ore.
gon, it was reported this morning tha,
the sun was shining, with about two
inches of snow on the ground.
Traffic Again Delayed
Traffic on both the Southern Pacific
and Western Pacific was tied up for
several hours, partly on account of the
storm. Eastbound trains on both the
roads were tied up by snow on the
Sierras and westbound trains by >
wreck near Wells. A Western Pacific
light engine ran into a snowbank with
such force that it tipped over onto the
Southern Pacific track, which runs par
allel at this point, but a few feet dis
tant. Yesterday mornings No. was
the last train to get through, las'
nights No. 10 being marked up for y
late hour this afternoon. Eastbounc
No. 2 passed through town at 11:ls
this morning and was followed by No
10 between and 3 o'clock. No. 6, due
