Spraying Potatoes

First misunderstanding the seed
The first step toward having clean
potatoes is TO destroy the scab fun
gus that winters over on potatoes,
and if such potatoes are planted with
them and the disease transmitted to
the new grown tubers. To treat for
scab, soak them for two hours in a
solution of one pint formalin to thir-
ty gallons of water. After the po-
tatoes have been in the solution the
required time, place on a Slated drip
board to dry before cutting. The solr-
ticn can be used number Of times
without changing if desired.
Or use corrosive sublimate, 1-2
ounces to 8 gallons of water. Soak
the potatoes in this solution l IL
hours, then place on the drip board
to dry. Never cut the potatoes for
planting until they are well dried off.
The corrosive sublimate is a deadly
poison and must be kept from stock.

CLAIMS VIOLATION OF
STATE EIGHT-HOUR LAW

Complaint was made to Labor Com
missioner Wallace this week that the
Carrara Marble company of Carrara,
New, were working their men twelve
hours a day in violation of the eight
hcrr law The commissioner has writ
ten the company, sending them mark
ed copy of the law and informing them
the practice would have to be discon-
tinued at once or legal proceedings
would be brought against them for the
enforcement of the law.
From what can be learned the work
men are composed largely of North
Carolina people and are paid so cents
per hour. 1t has been reArted that
they themselves insist upon working
twelve hours a day as they can make
more money. Commissioner Wallace
says the men can be punished for the
violation of the law the same as the
the employer if they insist upon work
ing twelve hours. The fact that the
company pays the men by the hour in
stead of so much per day for eight
hours work, makes it possible for the
men to assist in the violation of the
law. The commissioner expects an early
reply to his letter with more informa-
tion, and says that if conditions are
true as represented the matter will be
taken up and speedily disposed.

STAGE Is ATTACKED
BY A MAD STEER

Stanley Wines, who is driving the
Ruby stage between this place
and Lurline, reports rather exciting
experience a few days ago, says the
Wells Herald While driving slowly
along the heavy road his attention
was called to the actions of steer
that was behaving in very strange
manner. When the animal noticed the
stage it made directly for the outfit
and despite the efforts of Mr.. Wines
to urge his team out of reach, the steer
overlook the stage and spent some
time making attacks upon and hooking
the wagon. Strange to relate, however.
the mad animal did not attack the
horses, and after short time Mr..
Wines succeeded in eluding the steer,
no damage being done. Mr.. Wines
states that he does not wish to repeat
the experience. He was unarmed and
the horses attached to the stage would
have been at the mercy of the animal
had it attacked them. Mr.. Wines states
that he is satisfied that the animal
was rabid.

UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR WILL
PUBLISH BOOK ON MINES

Professor F. G. Lincoln, of the
Mackay school of mines at the Uni
versity of Nevada, is gathering data
and statistics for a book on Nevada
mines and mining. Part of the data is
to be used in the Copper Handbook,
publication which gives data on mines
and mining in all of the states of the
Union
AS there is no bureau of mines in the
state, Professor Lincoln, who is recog-
nized as an authority, is the recipient
of many requests for information re-
garding mines.
Smelter companies are frequently
asking him by letter where they can
get certain kind of ore.
Statistics in his office show that in
the year 1914 there were 731 mines in
actual operation in the state and that
the output was valued at over $780,
0,00O
Of these mines, Ill We're placer, 453
silieeous, 66 copper, "a lead, copper
lead, 8 lead-zinc, and 10 zine.
Since that time there have been
great many more mines placed in OPP
GRAFTON and it is thought at the present
time there are over 1000 mines in op-
GRAFTON in the state.-Carson News.

FRS AT NIXON TONIGHT

The world renowned Oberammer
gauer theatrical troupe will give a
grand concert at the Nixon opera
house tonight. Who has not heard of
the famous little town of Oberammer-
gau in Bavaria, where the so-ealled
Passion Plays are presented every ten
years2 Many of the members of the
above troupe have been prominently
engaged in these Passion Plays. This
troupe, composed of fourteen members,
which was on a concert tour in the
East when the war broke out, is oblig-
ed to remain in America, and is there
fore now travelling in the West, and
they are received all over the states
with great applause. This. troupe has
no peer in its peculiar art. The best
Yodlers (Tyrolean singers) produced
in Bavaria or Switzerland, will rem
der their favorite pieces with the sup
port of an unique orchestra composed
of zithers played with bow and
contra guitars; the celebrated "Schuh-
plattlero dances are another promi-
nent feature All numbers are always
so well received that many eneores are
called for.
Everyone who loves good singing,
especially Tyrolean Yodlers, either
music and old fashioned dances should
not miss this chance to see a really
frst-elass troupe at its best. All of the
fourteen members of the torupe are
stars. The papers of the East are ex-
travagant in their praise of these pro-
ductions.
The Cleveland Plaindealer writes:
Every seat at the Colonial theatre
was occupied last night, and people
stood three rows deep, enjoying a
grand concert given by the Oberam-
mergauer Peasant Players. Alpine cos
tunes, mountain scenery, Swiss yodlers
and the rollicking strain of either mu-
sic and dancing kept the enthusiasm
at high pitch. -

mining QUIET IN
TUSCARORA CAMPS

Times are very quiet here as there
are only three men working in and
around the mines, but it is reported
that there will be a very large mill
built here just as soon as the roads
are in condition to freight it in.
Ben Trembath came over from Di-
vide the other day and reports every
thing looking good in the new camp.
He and number of Others have been
there all winter. They have been sack
ing ore and will begin shipping just as
soon as the roads will permit. The
trail over the mountain to the new
camp has been kept open all winter
and the snow is so nearly gone that
Mrs. Trembath returned with her hus-
band to remain permanently
r. R. Young of Deep Creek, has OBJ
tanned lease at Lime Mountain and
is sacking ore to ship. He reports n
large vein of very high grade. All ore
heretofore found upon the mountain
was principally copper, but the new
strike is free gold.
TIE lessees on the Lonesome Kids
property east of town are doing devel-
opment work, opening up the ore body
and will begin shipping just as soon
dS lHt SHOW iUelLS. III Is very likely
that there will be quite a number of
men employed on the property during
the summer months.
The old timers say that this has been
the hardest winter since 1889 and 1890,
but there has been no loss of stock In
this vicinity. All the stock men had
plenty of hay to carry them through
so far, and it is believed that by the
time the hay is exhausted feed will be
sufficient in the hills.
There has been some loss of stock by
rabies in this neighborhood, but ac-
cording to reports cases are becoming
less numerous.
With the prospects of Tuscarora TAX
ing on new life and the development
that is sure to follow in the adjoining
districts, and being surrounded by
thrifty ranchers and stockmen the cit
izens here feel that 1916 will be tho
most prosperous period for Tuscarora
IN many year.-In dependent.
