BOSS MINE SHIPS
ASTONISHING ORE
Seven Dollars a Pound Received
For 800 Pounds Crude
Platinum Ore

| The Boss mine made a shipment of
platinum ore this week in response to
the demand for platinum by a Los
Angeles company. Eight hundred
pounds of the ore was sent by express
Thursday night and the amount re-
ceived by the company in payment for
the same was $500. being at the rate
of 81 per pound. The shipment was ac-
companied by Manager o. j. Fisk.
The ore in the shipment was the high
grade platinum gold ore in its crude
state just as taken from the mine.
The new Boss mill is now running
steadily on the low grade platinum
gold copper ores and is proving entirely
successful. saving high percentage of
the values. Until the mill las been
thoroughly tested on the lower grades
of ore. it is not considered advisable to
run through any of the high grade,
carrying platinum and gold in value
from Sic, 900 to 500, 900 per ton. There
is considerable amount of this high
grade ore sacked and safely under lock
and key in one of the drifts of the
mine, and when the time comes to put
it through the mill the returns will
reach an astonishing figure.
The Boss mine is q matter of in
terest and pride to every citizen of
Clark county, being the only mine
known producing platinum from ore in
lode form. However there are several
other properties near the Ross which
possess ore carrying sngnt Vaiues IN
platinum and which it is considered
very probably, by those best posted,
will open high grade platinum -palla-
dunn gold ores of the same character
as those of the Boss, when depth has
been reached.

CONSERVE THE
FOOD SUPPLY
People Urged to Produce Every.
thing Possible for Their
Own Consumption

C. G. Vinson of the Agricultural Elk
tension Service, is just in receipt of {
letter from the Secretary of Agricul
ture, d. F. Houston. in which he en-
phasizes the fact that it is highly es-
sential every person exercise the great
est economy in food consumption moi
only as matter of personal economy
but as patriotic duty. 1t is also very
necessary that every person should
produce all vegetables needed for home
use through the summer and coming
winter. A small flock of chickens own.
ed by every family would furnish an
adequate supply of eggs and far more
than pay for their keep.
The past year. 1916. being unfavor.
able there resulted world wide short
age in the staple crops, corn, wheat,
oats, barley, potatoes, etc. This nat
ural shortage coupled with decreased
production on account of the nations
at war, has caused serious shortage
of food supplies; consequently the
most rigid economy must be exercised
and every effort made to increase pro-
duction this season.
The Importance of production can
not be over-emphasized in the farming
districts, especially of Southern New
ada, where natural conditions afford
such a range and diversi6cation in crop
production. Every farmer should be
entirely self-supporting and more so,
that is, grow enough hay, grain, veg
etables and fruit for home use through
out the year, and raise enough hogs
and have enough dairy cows to supply
his family with meat, butter and milk
the year round. Where every condition
is so favorable for diversified crops
and large yields there is no re ason why
every farmer should not produce more
than enough to supply his own needs
and besides add to the nations supply
and support of our cities and armies-to-
be, by having surplus to sell.
Citizens of Southern Nevada, you
cannot do more patriotic thing, aside
from joining the colors at once, than
to exercise every power in increasing
the nations food supply and encourage
ing it. Do not fail to encourage boys
and girls in gardening work or in
raising chickens, rabbits. pigs. lambs
and calves; for they will help snor-
mously in the movement.

PREPARE NOW FOR
FALL PORK PRODUCTION
Most Grazing Crops For Hogs Are

Coed Gains on Fall Crops.

Indica ems are that hogs will sell

ever before, and farmers who are pre-

high market prices should nce over
look the value of fall grazing crops
in pork pro5nctioa. Most OF these
crops are plt..ed in the spring. Corn
cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, pea
nuts and sweet potatoes are the prin-
cipal fall grazing crops.
Fifty-seven hogs grazed on the En-
pertinent Station farm at Baton Rouge

LABOR SAVING DEVICES
FOR THE FARM HOME
inexpensive and Practical Appliances
That Simplify Home Management.

inexpensive and Practical Appliances
That Simplify Home Management.
Labor may be lightened and time
saved in the farm home by the use Of
simple labor-saving devices, which can
be made with an expenditure Of but
little time and money" says Miss
Alice S. Hickman of the Extension
Division. Louisiana State University.
1.-The fireless cooker, iceless refrige-
rator, rollertray wagon. and scrubblng
chariot are not unnecessary Injuries,
but are practical appliances for the
use and comfort of the home-maker.
These are but a few of the possibili-
ties which may make home manage
ment on the farm an interesting prob
lem instead of merely daily round
of tiresome and disheartening work.
Progressive farmers of today are
learning how to lessen labor for
themselves and decrease its cost. The
women are closely following this mod
ern idea. They cannot, however
solve the all-absorbing problem OF
home management unless the houses
are equipped with the labor-savine
conveniences. They cannot worh
without tools. When once they arc
awakened to their opportunities. how.
ever, home management will keep
pace with farm management and even
business management"
