meeting with no ENCOURAGEMENT mere
Through the work done by the NaTl,
GAS departments, by tn" Council O.
National Defense and Oy toe staff o.
Herbert {. IOOTers office the gov
eminent is fully informed as 10 the
extent OF available supplies CT food
stuffS and as TO conditions attend
ing the production and distributor
OF these supplies.
Crop conditions watched
Growing conditions OF all important
crops, the progress OF marketing OF
those that have been or arc being har-
vested and the prices being paid all
along the line from producer TO con
sumner are being watched and reported
upon more fully and carefully than
ever before In view Of the elaborate
and exact information that is coming
to the hands of the various represent
tatives of the administration from day
to day and week to week this is par
ticularly poor time for sensation-mon-
gers and professional muck-rakers to
ply their trade, although many OF
them have been in evidence here dur
ing the past three months.
So far as the sugar situation is
concerned it can be said with entire
confidence that the representatives OF
the various departments and bureaus
interested in this subject are fully IN
formed as to conditions, both in the
producing and distributing branches OF
the industry. BY the time the food
control bill becomes law Mr.. Hoo
yer and his assistants will have be-
fore them a complete array OF status
tics as to all phases of the sugar sit
uation and complete information and
assurances as to the desire or all
elements in the industry to cooperate
in handling the available supply OF
sugar in such ways as may be or
greatest advantage to the American
people and their Allies in the war.
No Disruption Of Trade
1t can be said positively that the
investigation that has been conducted
quietly but thoroughly in different
parts of the country by representa-
tives of the responsible authorities
has shown nothing that would JUS
tify any criticism of the men engaged
in the sugar industry. No action Is
that will disrupt trade
or cause any serious mar
ket disturbance. The cornerstone OF
the policy which the food administra-
ton plans to follow is the encourage
ment of production, and the super
structure will be intelligent food con-
servation and efficient distribution Of
supplies in the manner most benefic-
ial to the United States and its Allies.
There is nothing in the program to
Justify alarmist reports or predictions
of serious Interference with the order
y course of trade.
1t seems probable from present in
dications that a more complete and
detailed statement of the plans in
view in regard to sugar can be made
within the next 10 days, or at least be-
tore the end of the present month.

GETS Power and
TRANSPORTATION
Especial s..r,Buletin oorrss- onaene.)

TANLORSEILLE Ca. July u
With the completion Of the lnulan
Valley railroad connecting the mine
with the Western Pacific and the eX'
J tension OF a power TRANSMISSION sys'
tenn sufficient for the needs OF the op-
erations. the Engels mine is in bet,
| ter position than ever TO develop the
! great bodies of rich copper ore that
have been encountered In the develop
nent and operation Of the property.
Elmer Z. Paxton, general manager
and treasurer of the Engels copper
! company and of the Indian valley rail
road, states rich ore has been struck,
dividends of / l-2 cents share are
being paid monthly, and the company
plans extensive improvements TO the
plant for the working OF the Plumas
copper belt Harry Engels, the dis
coverer and pioneer operator OF the
mine in Lights canyon, is no" presl-
dent OF the company.
Paxton, referring to the proposed
improvements at the mine said:
Our present plant has capacity
of 500 tons daily, and we are now In
stalling an additional unit that will
treat 500 tons. The development or
our plant does not cease here, for we
also propose to increase the capacity
of our present mill and to bring it up
before the year is out, to about 1000
tons per day.
AT depth of $50 feet below our
present main working tunnel, We have
encountered a large body of very ricn
ore. This tunnel, which we call No.
6, is $500 feet in length and in the
process of driving it large amount
of fine milling ore was disclosed, be-
fore this main body Of bornite was
encountered. This bornite ore is in
diorite and II possesses a copper con
tent, ranging from to 80 per cent.
So far as it has been disclosed, have
no hesitation in saying that the body
Is Of very considerable magnitude.
"In the very near future, we pro-
pose to start a lower tunnel which
will cut the deposit, 800 feet below the
face in tunnel No. 6. Our develop
ment thus far shows that the ore zone
expands at depth, grows more per-
sistent, and is of better grade"
The present dividends being paid to
amount to about $500 600
q year, but the earnings Of the COM
pany are much larger and q great part
of the surplus Is being put back into
the property In the way of improve
ments.

/. F. ADLnSON WRITES MOTOR AGE OF
GRANDEUR OF TRIPS FROM CARSON CITY

OF s5 miles. From this point, going
directly south, over splendid roads
through Truckee Meadows and Pleas
ant valley, the drop is made into
Eagle valley and Carson City after g
80 mile run. This trip can be ac-
| complished, without trouble. in a
days time, although il is one to
which several days should be devoted.
Another short trip of exceptional in,
terest is to Virginia City, which lies
on the southern slope of Mount David
son at an altitude of 6400 feet and only
IL miles to the northeast of Carson
City. This is the home of the famous
Comstock Lode from which a produc-
ton of some 500. 100000 in gold and
silver has been made since its dis
covery in the early sixties. Here is
where the Mackeys. the Floods. the
Fairs and the Sharons accumulated
their millions. From the mineral
output of this section the city of
San Francisco was built, and the
very integrity of the United States
was maintained during the dark days
Immediately succeeding the civil war.
The mines are still in operation with
a considerable and constant produc-
ton of gold and silver.
Another beautiful sidetrip is south
ward from Carson City through the
agricultural district of Carson Valley,
passing the Stewart Indian school, a
federal institution where Uncle Sam
is taking care of over 400 Piute and
Washoe children. to the oldest town
in Nevada. Genoa, IL miles distant;
thence in a southwesterly direction
for 20 miles to Woodfords canyon on
the California side, in Alpine county.
From this point gradual right swing
is made through the Sierra Nevada
through Meyers Station to
Lakeside, along the shore of Lake Ia
hoe to Glenbrook, and down the Kings
canyon grade to Carson City. This
is beautiful, pleasant and comfort
able one days trip.
There are so many interesting and
wonderful side trips from Carson
