GROW fine CROPS
ON RYEPATCH LAND

A. r. Robinson, a homesteader and
United States land commissioner at
Rye Patch, New, has been spending the
past two days in Reno, serving as a
witness in the case of the people of
the state against James Kennedy,
which has occupied the attention of
the district court for the past two
days, says the Journal.
Mr.. Robinson is enthusiastic over
the prospects of the settlers in his dis
trict who have taken up land under
the enlarged homestead and dry farm.
ing act of 1909. Under this act each
settler is entitled to 800 acres, whereas
the old act limited each to a quarter
section. The law requires that they
live on the land three years and make
certain improvements.
The commissioner states that in ev-
cry instance the venture is proving
successful, as the land is deep sedi-
ment that will grow almost anything.
Grain, alfalfa and fruit are the chief
products of the section
As an illustration of what cultiv2
tion will do, Mr.. Robinson told of re-
cent settler who, the first year out, cut
one-half ton of rye to the acre. The
second years crop (last year, which
was an exceptionally dry year, brought
forth crop of one and three-quarters
tons to the acre.
The commissioner reports that water
is obtainable anywhere in the valley
ten feet from the surface and that the
supply is abundant. There are about
fifty settlers in the valley, some of
whom made final proof last year, and
there are between fifteen and twenty
who will make final proof this year.
All of the hay and grain raised can
be disposed of on the ground as the
sheep and stockmen of the district are
eager to buy it up. In many cases, he
said, sheep and stock are shipped to
the Rye Patch district to winter. One
case he cited was where California
stockmen had shipped in five hundred
head of cattle to feed for the winter.
On account of the two feet of snow
on the level in the valley the farmers
are jubilant over the prospects of bum
per crops owing to an abundance of
moisture. He reports the snow on the
ridge between Rye Patch and Gerlach
is about eight feet in depth, which as
sures the farmers of an abundance of
water for their crops and plenty of
feed for their stock.
According to the commissioner 8
statement the opportunities for man
who is willing to work, are many ON
the government land. He cited one
case of where a man had taken 800
acres some time since and all the avail
able cash he had on hand was just
enough to build house and stock up
with provisions to tide him over the
winter months. He was industrious
and energetic and now he is in most
comfortable circumstances. He owns
a nice nucleus for a stock farm, with
fences, barns and has a good founda-
ton upon which to build fortune.

HOWE ACTIVE IN

1t is pretty common talk in Reno
lust now by parties arriving there
from the southern part of the state
that A. II. Howe, secretary of the

of the week on his return from San

the country is in the interest of Howe,

There is also quite a lot of talk
about former Governor Oddie soon

PITTMAk'S LAND GRANT
BILL PASSED By SENATE

The bill providing for the granting
of 100000 acres of non mineral land
in the state of Nevada, for the benefit
of the public schools and the state uni
versity, passed the Senate Tuesday.
The bill was amended to prevent more
than a half million acres being sold
during one year, and the amendment
by Senator Poindexter to reduce the
allotment from 100000 to 100000
was defeated.
The price fixed by the Senate as the
minimum rate at which the land shall
be sold is $l.25 per acre.
At the present time there are over
sixty-nine million acres of land under
control of the federal government, and
of that amount 100000 acres are un-
der some sort of partial cultivation,
while II 100000 acres of the govern
ment land is considered arabic, pro.
vided water could be secured.
1t is estimated that at the present
time there are about 7,000,0 600 acres OF
land in the state of Nevada under pri-
vate ownership, or about the same
amount that has been granted for the
benefit of the educational purposes in

DISCovERER OF MINERAL
HILL DIES IN CALIFORNIA

James Ward, pioneer Nevada min,

Hill Eureka county, died recently at
Los Angeles at about so years of age.
Wards discovery of Mineral Hill
was accidental He was a resident of
Austin when the White Pine discovery
was made. He outftted at Elko and
started for the new field. On his re-
turn, Ward passed through the Bullion
range into Pine valley.
Ward found some rich float and af-
ter prospecting couple of days dis
covered the ledge and made his loea-
tions Assays showed phenomenal
values and stampede followed. After
some development work on Ward s
claims an English syndicate bought
them for 100000.
The country was then sparsely set
tied. Indians were dangerous. During
the several days that Ward was pros
peeting and making his locations he
did not dare to make a fire for fear of
attracting the attention of the Idnians.
He subsisted on raw bacon, and other
food that could be eaten without be-
ing cooked
A few years after selling his claims
Ward moved to Los Angeles.-Eureka

SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS
JUDGMENT IN BOOTH CASE

The verdict of the jury in the case
of w. w. Booth, editor of the Tonopah
Bonanza, accused of libelling District
Attorney Sanders, was upheld yester-
day by the Supreme Court. The decis-
ion was handed down by Chief Justice
Norcross and was cOncurred in by his
two colleagues.
Booth, through his attorneys, ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus, at
tacking the legality of the verdict of
the jury. 1t was questioned whether
the court had jurisdiction to pronounce
the particular judgment that entered
in the case. The judgment was a SEN
tenee of six months in the Nye county
Jail This was claimed to be void, be-
ing based on void verdict, the con
tention being that the jury should have
found the defendant "guilty" of Ii
bel, and not "gnilty Of gross mis-
demeanor as was returend.
Attorney Georg Sanford of Carson,
representing Booth, filed motion for
a rehearing in the case, which will per-
NIT the southern editor to enjoy his
liberty until this question is settled.
Should the motion be overruled the or
der of the Supreme Court that Booth
surrender to the sheriff will be carried
out
The opinion of the Court calls atten-
tion to the fact that appeals from
lower courts from eases where the yer
dict was for a felony, are not permit
ted in Nevada and refers to the action
of California in amending the consti-
tuition of that state in 1879 so as to
IN oil
As to whether Booth will apply to
the state board of pardons for relief,
in the event the Supreme Court rules
adversely on the motion for a rehear-
ing of the habeas corpus matter, will
remain to be seen. His attorneys here
have received no word on this subject.
