THE GOLDEN TIDE
Prowers County Irrigation Farmers
Are Reaping a Rich Reward for
Coming to the Country's Rescue

When the government last winter
called upon the farmers of the coun-
try to plant all the crops possible to
save the country, our farmers man
fully did their share and now they
are reaping a golden harvest. The
tales coming in from the harvest fields
would be unbelievable if the checks
coming in at the banks did not corro-
borate them. Many Of the highest
priced irrigated farms will pay for
themselves this season, and all will
that has ever been asked for them.
With all grain crops bringing in val
ucs exceeding a hundred dollars per
acre, and alfalfa crowding that figure,
these Prowers county irrigated farms
arc paying good big interest on $500
per acre.
As a sample the crop on the Geo. A.
Bishop farm rented on shares by NJ.
f. Snider has just been marketed. On
115 acres Of wheat the yield was 1897
bushels, weighing 62 pounds, which
brought $3.50 per bushel, making the
crop bring S113 per acre. A field of
barley on the same farm yielded 0,
bushels TO the acre and brought S133.
While this is one of the fine fields Of
grain yet there are many others in
the same class and few if any in the
irrigated section that will yield less
than S7j per acre. The large acreage
in sugar bee.s will also mal;s big re-
turns, while on all the farms can be
seen splendid fields CT beaus-thc lat
est experiment Of our farmers.
And in addition the greatest crop
Of all--alfalfa--with two crops in the
stack and the third coming on fine
is having no trouble at all even in
this bountiful year to maintain its
well established leadership. 1t will
yield under the present exceptional
conditions from four tons up Of hay
per acre. The price, which started
off at $3.50 per ton in the field has
been jumped up by bounds until it il
now nearing the $50 mark. and the
season just fairly started. All the
mills arc now running full blast and
all the indications point to a long
campaign and well maintained If not
increased prices. Already plans arc
under way for the construction Of
acveral more alfalfa mills in this
territory. We understand the farm
ers around SuRardale arc already
stock for mill with their
big profits from this years crop.
In fact the greatest problem before
the Prowers county farmers this
season is what TO do with their money.
If there was more land under irriga-
tion here they could invest in it, but
there is little chance to
extend the Irrigation boundaries.

MANSON PREDICTS
SILVER WILL RISE
PROPOSED EMBARGO Is GIVEN
AS CAUSE OF
DECLINE

Attributing the cause of the drop
in the price of silver from $1.0Sh
last week to Saturdays quotation
both gold and silver which is plan
ned by the government, Frank Man
son, general manager of the West
ern Ore Purchasing company, to-
day expressed the belief that silver
will again soar upwards. and will
remain indefinitely at the dollar
mark or better.
Just prior to the first sharp
drop in the price of silver" said
Mr.. Manson, "it became known
among the spectators hat the gov
eminent proposed an embargo on
silver as we'll as gold. The specula-
tors, of course, began backing out
at this, and silver dropped. am
of the belief hat this is the main
reason for the sharp drop in the
white metal.
while this will have a temper
airy effect on the price of silver, it
will not interfere with the real de-
mand. Conditions now will have
the speculation feature largely elm
mated. and the market will adjust
itself to the laws of supply and de-
mand.
at is my belief that silver will
climb to the dollar mark or better,
as the real demand still continues
as strong as ever. I have reason
to believe that the government fig
ures on a ratio of twenty-to-one,
which is equivalent to dollar sill
ver."-Reno Gazette.

COPPfRM|NES HAS
A NEW MANAGER
WE'LL : KNOWN MINING MAN
WITHDRAWS FROM MINES
CONDUCT

Edwin f. Gray, formerly general
of the Consolidated Copper
mines company at Kimberly, ten
dered his resignation at a meeting
recently held by the board of direc-
tors at the mine offices at Kimberly
and which was attended by Albert f.
Humphreys of New York, president
of the company; Joseph b.. Cotton,
vice president: Thomas A. Merriott,
Robert Linton, Edwin F.. Gray and
Hornblower and Weeks of New York.
1t was with great regret that the
resignation of Mr.. Gray was accept
ed. He is one of the largest stock
holders in the company and n of
the best known men in the mining
world. When he accepted the gen.
eral management of the company's
property at Kimberly it was with the
understanding that he would remain
only long enough to get the proper
ty IN a going basis.
This has been accomplished, and
the company being well financed
Mr.. Gray asked to be relieved of the
burden of the active management
that he might devote more of his
time to his mining interests. He
has, however, consented to remain
as one of the directors.
Robert Linton was named as Mr..
Gray's successor. Mr.. Linton is a
mining man of wide experience and
while the affairs will be under his
direction he will spend only a por-
ton of his time on the property,
which will be under the direct
charge of Fl. S. Munroe, general SUI
perintendent.-White Pine News.

Among his duties as fuel admins
traitor will be the appointment of

been announced that county COM
mittees and those for towns having
a population over $500 will have
power to make recommendations as
to prices to be charged by retail
dealers, making allowances for rea-
sonable profits, which are reported
to have become far from reasonable
in some parts of the state, parti-
cularly in districts where coal prices
have been boosted in the last few
months.

RICH BODY OF ORE
IN GOODSPRINGS NINE

Jack Smith brought in word from
the property of the Red Streak Cop
per Mining company that they had
broken through into the lower tun-
rel, in the High Line, and find
the ore there in bigger quantities
than ever and the highest grade
ever found in the district. Smith
and Anderson now have less than
80 days of their lease left in which
to work on this remarkable body of
ore.
They are working a large force
of men night and day in order to
take out as much as possible of the
treasure. All of the men at the
Copper Sides camp, which is the
property of Renaux and Schwartz
and which is located just across the
gulch have gone over to the High
Line to help the work along. Smith
and Anderson have been unable to
get enough trucks and teams to
haul their ore to Jean and are
stacking it anywhere. just as fast
as they can dig it out. This won
oerful strike is the talk of the
camp.-Goodsprings Gazette.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. g.. -
Are you eating your share of the
country's bumper potato crop?" asks
the United States department Of ag-
riculture in a recent statement. Now
that the tubers are more plentiful
and cheap they may we'll be given
a prominent place on the dinner ia
ble," continues the statement.
The department makes the follow
ing suggestions in regard to the use
of potatoes al dinner:
Potatoes may be freely used at
dinner, the variety which we all like
being secured by varying the ways in
which the potatoes are served. Then,
too, one should not overlook the
fact that, since both of them are
foods which are very palatable
sources of starch. by eating more po-
tatoes one cal diminish the bread
eaten and thus help to save wheat,
which is such an important matter
at the present time.
Many think that potatoes are at
their best when prepared in the
simplest ways, that is, baked or boil
ed, but even so some variety is pos
sible, for they may be baked in their
jackets, or with the skins rubbed or
scraped off, or pared and baked in
the pan with meat, the juice they alb
sorb improving their flavor. The
skins may be easily rubbed off new
potatoes, and almost as easily from
old potatoes provided they are first
dropped for ten minutes in boiling
water.
Potatoes may be boiled or steamed
in the Jackets, peeled entirely. or
with only a ring peeled around the
center. The boiled potatoes may be
served as they are, or mashed, ,or
riced. Such simple changes as these
help to give variety.

COMSTOCK AT
DEEP LEVELS

Inquiry of Superintendent Sym
mes of the Union Con. mine today
shows a continuation of the favor
able conditions in the deep levels
of the mine, with an excellent grade
of ore being exposed in the east
cross-cut from the south drift from
the southeast drift on the 24O0
level.
Ten feet of ore has been opened
here, face samples of which give
assay returns of $2S.S6, $51.S5 and
$206.S2, and in addition to the ten
feet there is four feet hal will pro-
badly pay to mill. There is a good
proportion of silver in the ore, and
some specimens of the ore contain
a large quantity of free gold, being
very rich.
1t is also of interest to learn that
the northeast crOss-cut on this level
has already exposed PC feet of
quartz, but all of which will not
pay to mill. How much is of mill
ing grade will be determined by
drifting a little later. The cross-cut
has reached a clay seam, and fur
Their advance will be made here first
to ascertain whether or not it is
the hanging wall, after which drift
ing will be placed underway.

Millers, suffered injuries Saturday
afternoon which resulted in his
death four hours later.
The car was overturned five miles

proved serious.
Riding in the back seat was Paul
Zappatani. When he say Tabaracci
had lost control of the steering
wheel, he jumped and escaped in
Jury. The car was travelling at a
high ate of speed. Where the ac-
cident occurred the road is slanting.
Tabaracci lost control when he
struck a rut. The machine left
the road and struck a large rock,
being turned completely around. 1t

NEVADA EXPECTED
TO LEAD AGAIN
IN LOAN
RECORD ESTABLISHED IN FIRST
ISSUE MAY BE RE-
PEATED

RENO, New, Oct. 3.-Nevada is
again going to be the first state
in the union to ~oversubscribe its
allotment of Liberty Loan bonds,
declares the Gazette.
This was the opinion expressed
by the members of the Liberty Loan
committee that net yesterday and
perfected n of the strongest SELL
ing organizations ever organized in
the state.
Under the direction of H. A.
Lennon campaign manager, who
directed the work of the committee
in the last campaign, the work be-
a today.
Nevada's allotment, based on the
figures. in the last issue will be
$2,4O0,0OO. The last allotment was
$1,S00,00 and as this issue is to
be one third greater this state will
probably be expected to buy one
third more bonds than last time.
No official figures have been given
out, however.
The experience gained in handling
the last campaign was utilized to
the fullest extent in making plans
for this one and with the work
hardly under way now everything
is working smoothly and there pro-
misses not to be a hitch in the entire
campaign.
The general and executive COM
mittee is as follows: George H.
Taylor. chairman, J. w. Davey, Sec
rotary: H. A. Lennon, campaign
manager; w. J. Harris, Gov. En-
met D. Boyle, M. D. Fairchild,
George A. Campbell, Milo c. Nc
MILAN and George Wingfield.
The publicity committee is as fol-
lows: George Wingfield, d. E. w.
Williamson. Clayton Campbell, L..
A. Spellier, G. o. Davies, Glen
Hurst and Boyd Moore.
Roy l.. Shurtleff of San Fran
serve bank, arrived in Reno this
morning to assist the committee in
starting the campaign.
ut is expected that this district
will oversubscribe it's allotment of
these bonds by many Million" said
Mr.. Shutleff. Some big San Fran
cisco corporations have already
signified their intention of buying
millions of dollars of these bonds,
and an intensive campaign will be
Iharried out all over the district.
Some of the bonds of the last
issue are now on the coast but as
they are three and one-half per cent
bonds and can be exchanged for the
present issue they will probably not
be distributed as it would mean
that all must be collected again in
exchanging them.
TT is the opinion on the coast
that the bonds in the present is
sue will be ready for distribution
before the campaign is concluded.
Nevada received a great amount
of credit for being the first state to
fill it's last Liberty Loan quota and
it is being looked to to set the pace
in the present campaign. From the
personnel of the committee in
charge I believe it will do it,"
