FRANK KINGHORN HAS
TRYING EXPERIENCE

The Battle Mountain Scout is in
receipt of an interesting letter
from Frank Kingdom, relating his
experiences while travelling through
Marin county. California.
Stopping at a farm house for the
night, he was informed after the
evening meal that sleeping accom-
modations were lacking, and they
would phone to a neighboring farm
to see if a spare room could be had.
At this moment the daughter of
the house recalled the fact that the

POTASH OUTPUT IS
STEADILY GROWING
QUANTITY STILL FALLS FAR
SHORT OF AMOUNT RE-
OIIRED BY TRADE

"O'a h salts were produced in
the United States in 1915 to the
amount of $342, 600, according to
the United States Geological SdI-
vcy. Though this figure is of in
terest as showing a small beginning
in the domestic potash industry,
it becomes of little importance if
the total needs of the country are
COZ sidered, for it represents a
quantity consumed in less than a
week under normal conditions.
The imports Of refined potash
salts in 1915 were 76,141 long tons,
CT slightly more than 20 per cent
of those of 1918, the latest normal
wear of importation. Imports OF
the potash fertilizers, kainite, man
ure salts. and double salts,
amounted to 20,427 long tons, or
about 3 pcr cent of those in 1913.

SHIP QUICKSILVER

CINNAHAR ORE BEING TREATED
WITH SUCCESS IN MINER

Nina is on a boom. So is Soda-

This is the first effect of the devel-

stem industries which have drawn
hudred of prospeotors and invest
ors to Mineral county.
The first shipment Of quicksilver,
consisting of 25 TASKS, was sens
out by Pepper and Keough last
week and another shipment is al
most ready. The other companies
are about ready to blow in their

Keough have one retOrt that is
treating one ton a day of cinnabar
running about two and n half per
cent in ''quick." Another retort
has been ordered for immediate
delivery and a third will he
shipped as soon as possible. Seven
men are employed and the reduc-
ton requires half a cord of wool
daily. The cost of fuel is not
a heavy item as it is obtained OH
the ground owned by the firm. With
one retort the firm is making an
average of 500 a day.
Three hundred feet west Of this
retort the group of the Nina Mer-
curry company, controlled by Tono-
par capital. is on the eve Of starting
with a single retort. The Nina

an interest in the group located
by AL Drew, which show a large

by a vivid scarlet glow and is so
soft that it can easily be picked 20
pieces with a common knife. The

of the year the company obtained

In addition to output from tne
above sources. potash was marketed
in 1915 from kelp obtained along
the Pacific coast.
Experimental work on the pro-
duction of potash salts from dif-
ferent sources was active during
the year. and in places this activ-

are in progress at Searles Lake

WATER RESEARCH
UNIVERSITY AND STATE
ENGINEER

Development of the underground
to receive an impetus through the
cooperation of the authorities at
Washington, is the belief of those
who have been trying to promote
this development. 1t has been
known for some time hal the au-
thorities of the state university
were ~endeavoring to enlist the CO.
operation of the department of the
succeeded, for Mr.. F. l.. Bixby, IL
federal agent assigned to work
with the university on cooperative
irrigation and underground water
Investigations, is in the state ana
will take up active work with the
university and the state engineer.
The first project to command al
tention will be a determination of
the duty of water in LamOille Val
ley, Elko county, and observations
on pumping plant costs in the vi
cinity of Winnemucca, Lovelock ami
Battle Mountain, this being a con-
~tinuation of the investigation be-
gun last year.
Some time next month, or before
the first of June, Mr.. Bixby, with
representatives of the university
engineering department and tho
state engineers office will con-
tinue the underground water recon
noissance begun in southern Nevada
some months ago by the university
engineers.
Professor j. G. Scrugham, dean
of engineers in the university, who
has been making a study of the
southern field during the last year,
was in Goldfield Saturday night and
expressed the opinion that special
rata would probably be collected on
the developed wells in the Beatty,
Pahrump, Indian Springs, Las We
gas and Panaca districts before final
lans are made for the operative
work. Professor knight of the col
lege of agriculture has been work
ing with Dean Scrugham in the
study of the water problem. Mr..
Bixby will follow up and elaborate
on their work.
1t is understood that owing to the.
vast amount of territory to be COW
cred and the limited funds available
only the comparatively few projects
already undertaken will be han
died this year. The results will be
made public as soon as sufficient &C
curate data is obtained to warrant
publication.
Tests lave been made and re-
corded on nearly 800 wells with
widely varying results. Owing to
he broken formations prevalent in
Nevada. the problem offers unusual
difficulties.
1t is believed that Mr.. Bixby's
presence in the state will stimulate
interest in the water research. He
has had about ten years experience
on similar work in New Mexico and
OF, err western states. He will make
his headquarters at the university.

pouring from the building and the fire
too far advanced to enable him to save
anything. A box of soap on the back
porch was all that was saved. The
family have no clothes left to wash,
so the soap isn't really needed just
now. Mrs. Tucker was in town, hav-
ing given birth to son only a week
before. and Mr.. Tucker had gone home
that morning to look after the stock.
He had been keeping his Sunday suit
at his mothers home in Orofino, and
that morning had taken it out to the
ranch. 1t went up in smoke. Every
thing was lost, including Mark Mol.

The Reese Bros. players who are ap-

the Fair week, are notably superior
to any talent of that character ever
appearing in Salem. The old hum
drum jokes and debated minstrel
comics are conspicuous by their alb

of the company is an artist in the 2tOh
century entertainment. Arthur
Reese, an amusing conversationalist,
is one of the most characteristic num-
hers of the company while Florence
Blue, Major Bailey and Jessie Reese
are blessed with beautiful voices and
their efforts are those of players who
are sincerely DESTROYS of pleasing their
audiences. Jopie Murray is dance,
extraordinary. His antics are mirtt
provoking, while at the time he is
capable of some amazing foot work.
The tango dancers are immense. Ton
E Davis and Ollie Reese are clever
end men. The Reese Bros. are CUR
jugglers with no superiors. The show
as whole is first class. The music
is enhancing. They will appear al
the Grand during the week.
