Saving Food

That Nevadans are doing their
share Of food saving is evidenced by
the reports which have been received
at the office Of the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Nevada from other
states.
To date thirty hotels and restau-
rants have reported their savings for
the month of November This is
about one-fourth of the total number
in the State and as the campaign was
late in starting, only three meatless
and wheatless days are included. The
report shows that approximately 3d.
600 pounds of meat were saved in
the three meatless days in November.
Nebraska, with population OF
about 1,350,O00. the first state to send
in complete returns for the entire
month. Their report shows a saving
of 422,S22 lbs of emat in four meat
less days. This makes the per capita
saving about the same, despite the
fact that Nebraska Is In the midst of
the corn belt and is able to secnra
food substitutes more easily and
cheaper that we can here in Nevada.
All hotels and restaurants through
out the State who have not already
sent in their monthly reports are re-
cuested to do so at once IL they
have not received blank report card
notify the Food Administrator for
Nevada and a card will be sent I'M
mediately.

QUARTZ MILL IS
READY To
START

A. Y. Werner, who is interested in
the Silverado and Kentuck mines in
the Sweetwater district, Is In town
this week and reports that the mill
on the former property is about COM
pleted and will be ready for operation
within the next few days. The new
mill is a Denver quartz mill, having
a daily capacity Of sixty tons.
The Silverado and Kentuck is the
property of company headed by J.
ID. Dawson and Ed. Par is the super
intendent, while Mr.. Werner planned
the new mill and attended to its erect
ion.
During the summer, on the aver
age of two carloads of ore a month
have been shipped from the Silverado
mine which averaged from $3.50 to
$3.50 per ton in silver values. With
the completion of the mill practically
all of the ore from the mine will be
milled at home. About as men have
been employed during the past sum-
mer erecting the mill and taking out
ore for shipment. The mill has been
so constructed that the ore will be
taken from the tunnel to the mill
without interference by deep SHOWS,
the track from the tunnel to the ore
bin being protected by substantial
snow-sheds. The mems quarters are
also close to the mine and mill and
work will continue throughout the
winter.
With the unusual mining activity
in the Sweetwater section, Mr.. Wer-
ner predicts that il is a coming camp,
In fact Is a producing camp at this
time, and promises to increase In
production as other mines In that To-
cality, which is rich in silver ores,
are opened up and developed 1t is
also being whispered in local mining
circles that the Gugenheim interests
are about to take over some of the
big properties at Masonic and in that
event, the district extending from
sweetwater to Bridgeport will ex-
perience an unusual mining activity
in the spring.

A few days ago the press dispatches
told OF the killing of spy on the
Mexican border by American soldiers.
After the body was searched draw
ing and other papers were found. The
name of the man was Herman Feige
and speculation is rife here, many be-
lieving that it was the same Herman
Feige, who resided at this place un-
til some months ago. The man by

Good Weather Causes
Farmers to Worry

The remarkable fine weather, the
like OF which can hardly be recalled
by old timers, is cause for anxiety by
the farmers OF this section, who are
just now thinking of next summers
and are exceedingly anxious to see a
heavy fall of snow In the mountains.
Practically no snow has fallen and
balmy with clear sky and no sign
of storm, although the weather
bureau at Reno forecasted rain for
yesterday.
While II Is generally admitted that
early storms in mountains are the
most beneficial, there is no doubt
that the month of January and Feb
ruary will bring plenty of snow to in
sure water for irrigation of next sum
mer's crops
The heavy sufferers just now are
sheep owners who range their focks
on the destert during the winter
months. They started their sheep
southwark several weeks ago and are
now herding on ranges near water,
waiting for the SHOWS to come so they
may go into the desert. and feed Is
becoming alarmingly short On the
desert range the sheepman relies en-
tirely upon snow, there being no
water holes to furnish water for the
sheep.

invested their money and carried this

time, the home company will start a

Turkey Raising

Turkey ranching is new indus
try born of the decreasing produc-
ton of turkeys on farms, according
to an article in the recently pub
1ished 1916 Yearbook Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Exclusive turkey ranching is now
found practically only in the un-
settled foothill regions of California
and III certain sections of Arizona
and other Western states. In these
regions a few persons are engaged
in raising a thousand or more tur-
keys season The establishments
are located where the range is un-
limited and the natural food of the
turkey. such as grasshoppers and
other insects, green vegetation and
the seeds of various weeds and
grasses IS abundant. Advantage is
also taken OH these ranches of the
turkeys relish for @acorns. and
where these are plentiful but little
grain need be used for fattening in
the fall.
The large flocks of turkeys are
managed much like herds of sheep,
being out to the range early i'll the
morning and brought home to roost
at night. They are herded during
the day by men either on foot or on
horseback, and by dogs especially
trained for the work.

The Presidents message indi-
Gates that production and proper
distribution of the country's re-

tant task now confronting the ma

and desire of every man in the rail-
road business to make the trans
portation machine even more efhc-
lent for war than it has already
proved itself in time of peace.
In war time the important place
of the carriers in industrial life be-
comes conspicuous. The railroad

he can do anything else for the
nation. is helping to fight his coun-

who goes to the front. Each in his
place is doing his part. His train
ing and experience are necessary
in his present position. A man
can be taught more quickly to han-
die rifle than he can to repair a
locomotive or run a train. It is not
improbable that the Government
will hold it as important that the
transportation service keep it's ranks
intact as that the military and ma
val services be brought up to a war
footing.
In any event, what the railroad
men are to do will be determined
by the desire of the Government

Whether it be for use in the
great conflict in which nearly
all the world is now engaged
or in the industrial pursuits
of disarmed and peaceful ma
tions, the demand for copper
is and will continue to be of
enormous proportions, and at
consequently high prices for
the metal. The fact is the
market is almost bare at the
present time of copper for
delivery and supplies will be
scarce for months to come.
