A~USTIh-DAkOTA IS
DOING GOOD WORK
PROPERTY IN LANDER COUN-
TY OPERATED ON
GOOD SCALE

lover the top" Is the slogan of
the management of the Austin
Dakota Development company.
Since the middle of last month,
& force of men have been busily
engaged in making alterations and
charging the power house building
at the X-ray shaft and installing
two 1O0-horsepower boilers to pro-
vide adequate power to take care
OF the increased duty contem-
plated.
Central Hill, on the south slope
Ct which the X-Ray shaft is locat-
cd, contains numerous and many
of them proven to be important
lodges, such as the Whitchlatch,
Snow Flake and Silver Chamber,
all of which have been proven to
be famous lodges of the camp.
The shaft is $50 feet deep, from
1t some 1000 feet of development
work has been done. In fact the
management has pursued the same
policy of development for a mine
before surface development should
have consideration.
From the 200 level. two main
cross-cuts, the northwest and the
northeast, have been driven 575
and 500 feet respectively into Gen.
trail Hill, encountering eight diff
ferent lodges, four of which are
large and strong with the ear
marks of permanenecy and the
values being persistent. Excep-
t:onal high-grade values are show
ing in the last and largest ledge
cut about SO feet back from the
face of the northeast cross-cut.
Immediately on resuming work
both of these cross-cuts will be
driven with all possible speed into
Central Hill to cut the other and
still more important lodges.
All necessary arrangements Will
Rave been completed so that &C
tive operations will begin the first
of the week with at least two
shifts a day, increasing the force
as rapidly as conditions will per-
mit.-Reveille.

CARRIES ORE
TO SURFACE

The Congress mine, which is locat-
ed at Johnnie in the Funeral range,
in the lower end of Nye county, 1S5
miles south of Tonopah, and
which is owned by M. B. Bartlett Of
this city. was visited yesterday by
Henry Bartlett and VIM. Moody.
They made the trip by auto in Mr..
Moody's car.
This property was leased several
month ago to Jack Millett, a carpen-
ter of this place. On his arrival at
the property, which is several miles
from the nearest ~habitation, he
began work and in a few days he
uncovered a vein of $50 gold ore.
Rather than return to the nearest
camp and obtain bucket and rope
he resorted to the slow and labor
ious "peon" method of packing the
ere up a 6Q-foot incline ladder on
his back. In all he has eight tons
on the dump.
Another prospector in the vicin-
ity had taken out and shipped and
realized enough money to purchase
6. two-stamp mill. With this equip
ment, Mr.. Millet will have his ore
milled near the place of extraction.

NEW RULES LIMIT
BUYING OF SUGAR
SYSTEM FOR MANUFAC-
TURERS is PUT INTO
EFFECT

Commencing May Is all Nevada
manufacturers, confectioners, soda
fountains, etc., will be able to secure
sugar in quantities only by certifi-
Gates after having wor to state
ments of their previous and pres
ent requirements, according to a
ruling of the national food admin
istration received at Reno h%eadquar-
tiers today. The ruling also applies
to housewives who wish to secure
additional sugar to cover canning
and preserving seasons.
Manufacturers may obtain GER
~tificates from the state food adj
nhinistration or from their county
administrators upon delivery of a
sworn statement showing sugar they
used from Jan. I, 1918, to April 80,
1918, and their future estimated re-
quirements.
"All wholesale and retail grocers
in Nevada" says a statement issued
ny TIC SIdIc lOOu duIiilioli dIoi .
office, "are hereby notified that they
must not sell sugar after May Is to
any manufacturer without the sur
render of the necessary sugar GER
tificate, properly filled out.
"Ice cream factories are allowed
100 per cent of their requirements,
as long as they refrain from max
ing sherbets and water-ices. Con-
fectioners, makers of soft drinks,
beverages and fruit syrups are con-
sidered not strictly essential and are
limited to a monthly consumption
of 80 per ZEN of an average taken
over the period from January to
April.
"The federal food administration
has found it necessary to put on
these rules in order that there may
be an available supply of sugar for
canning and preserving and that
housewives may be able to purchase
sugar in 25-pound lots for such
purposes.
"Proprietors of many small soda
fountains, candy establishments,
ETC., seem to think they are not
embraced by sugar conservation
rules. But wholesalers and retail
trs are warned that no matter how
small the business, they must not
sell sugar unless they receive the
proper amount of certificates in re-
turn"

SPRINGS
AGAIN PRODUCING
PROPERTIES IN HUMBOLDT
COUNTY ARE PROMISING
A REVIVAL

Persistent development work on
property owned by George Storey
and Oscar Campbell at the camp
o: Barrett Springs, eight miles
from Winnemucca, and part of the
Winnemucca district, has made it
a steady shipper.
Already three carload shipments
have been sent out and there is
about enough ore on the dump for
another thirty-ton shipment.
Storey and Campbell are
thorough miners and through their
aggressive development work have
opened a fine producing property.
Although not extensively develop
ed this estate is producing consid-
cradle high-grade shipping ore.
The principal work at the pre-
sent time is being done through a
forty-foot shaft from which the
drifts have been run on the ledge.
In the slopes where the present
ore is coming from the vein is
fourteen inches wide and is all
shipping ore. The shipments sent
cut so far have netted the own
ers about $50 to the ton in gold
and silver.
From all indications these ship
ments will be kept up for some
time as the vein is strong and on
%tinuous. On account of the per-
sistency of the orebody it has not
been necessary to go to extensive
development, all the work being
done near the surface from the
shaft mentioned and from surface
openings. The ore is just as strong
in the bottom of the shaft as 1t is
anywhere in the mine and with
only the top scratched deep de,
elopment is yet to be accomplished
and the chances are good for the
opening of a great mine there.
The close proximity of the camp
to both the Western Pacific and
Southern Pacific railways and to
Winnemucca make 1t an ideal
place for mining development.
The camp of Barrett Springs has
been in existence for a number of
years and a large quantity of ship
ping ore has been sent out, prin-
cipally by claim owners and
lessers.
The district Is composed mostly
o. low lying hills and most of the
properties there can be reached
with very little road building and
the road to Winnemucca is over
a level country.-Humboldt Star.

OUTPUT
OF TUNGSTEN

Four shafts are being sunk on
the tungsten property of the Pa
cific Tungsten company recently
acquired near Mill City. The work
is being done on ore and regular
shipments are going forward to
the mill at Toulon for reduction,
SAYS the Lovelock Review-Miner.
Ore bins are being installed for
handling the ore to better advant-
age in loading on the trucks,
teams, etc., which are hauling to
the railroad.
Two air compressors have been
installed at the mines of h Mill
City Tungsten Mines company, n
are now supplying the drills in the
various tunnels with power. Four
tunnels are being driven on this
property, and development work is
being pushed to the point where
additional miners can be put to
work soon.
The north drift is in better than
800 feet now, which will give 100
feet of backs to work from. Thirty
tons of scheelite are being turned
out of the mine daily and hauled
to Mill City for shipment to the
Toulon mill.
Fully $50 mel are employed in
the various mines of the district at
present and the various owners
are planning 20 put on mere men
yhen facilities con be increased.

GOLD REEF Is
NOW SINKING

The Gold Reef mine which was
listed yesterday in San Francisco
is owned chiefly by r. G. (Dick)
Williams, the veteran trouble
shooter of the Western Union, who
located four claims In the Divide
district IL years ago and continued
doing his assessment work with
development that would count
when 1t came to the time when
events justified opening the prop
erty on a commercial scale. The
Cold Reef adjoins the Gold Zone

canyon which everybody knows

self with several San Francisco
men who investigated the sur
roundings and came to the conclu-
sion that the Williams group was
one of the best in the district. The
Gold Reef company is retimbering
the shaft to a depth of 100 feet
and next week will begin installing
of machinery for active sinking,
Four men are employed on the job
and the number will be increased
as fast as the work requires. =

Power Used in Sewing

Tonopah women who sew at Red
Cross headquarters will no longer
need to apply foot power to the
machines as a power plant has been
installed. Electricity is used to
turn a shaft to which are connect

POPULATIONS OF
A RABBIT RANCH
COLDFIELD FARMER SEEKS En-
PERT COUNSEL ON CUT
WORM PROBLEM

Frank Hertzer operates a linotype
machine at the Tribune office eight
hours each day and during the other
sixteen he operates a rabbit and
poultry farm, at the foot of the
Malapai. Farm" is the popular
name for ranch wnere Frank grew
up in Ohio.
When a boy Frank used to hunt
! cutworms for fish-bait, and every
boy along the Sandusky river. from
Wandot to Sandusky bay, knew that
if the fish had the right of the ballot
and could select their own bait every
fish in the river would vote for cut
worms. And so between the boys
and the fish and the blackbirds the
crops were saved from the cutworms
that might otherwise have destroyed
them. But those Ohio cutworms
were of Indifferent race from the
kind Frank finds on his rabbit farm
near Goldfield. They were not as
polygamous. After a little expert
ence with this new breed he believes
the Ohio worms were committing
race suicide. And yet they didn't
live on a rabbit farm. Maybe that
had something to do with the diff
ference in their multiplication table.
Well, matters got desperate on
this rabbit farm. 1t was found that
a cutworm born in the morning was
a great grandmother before night,
and small families were unknown.
And so Hertzer wrote to Charley
Norcross, of the College of Agricul-
ture, University of Nevada, and here
is what Charley says:
Extension Administration Office,
College of Agriculture, Universe
ty of Nevada.
Reno, Nevada, May II, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Hertzer:
The best formula for destroy
ing. cutwOrms Is as follows:
Twenty-Five pounds bran; one
pound paris green; three lemons,
chopped fine; stir into a stiff
dough with cheap molasses dilut-
ed with water.
Scatter little punches of this
mixture over the field, provided
that you can keep the chickens
out of the field, as the mixture
will kill chickens as we'll as cut
worms. AS you are probably
aware, the cutworm does not
come out of the ground to feed
until night. AS you have not yet
planted your garden and there is
no other succulent for them to
eat they should attack this mix
ture and be destroyed. Poison
ing is the only way of killing
them and, as before stated, chick
ems will eat the same materials.
hence poisoning cannot be resort
ed to unless you can keep chick
ems out of the field until the
worms are exterminated and
what remains of the poison bran
gathered up again.
Trusting that this will solve
your difficulty, I am very sincere
ly yours.
C. A. NORCROSS, Director.
Hertzer, in his inquiry, didn't say
anything about the rabbits on the
ranch; it didn't occur to him. But
he has handed the directors letter
to the editor with the thought that
maybe somebody else is trying to
raise rabbits without raising cut
worms, and observing the directors
suggestion that the cutworms only

RESTAURANT LICENSE
HELD UP BY COUNCIL
July Session Transacted Bust
ness Wednesday Night.

The regular July session of the
city council, held Wednesday night
was not lengthy session, the mem
hers taking up only those matters
which were pressing. Mayor Tonkin
presided, and there were present
Councilmen Holt, Wiltshire, Bowers
and Cline; Recorder Zirkle, City At
torney Downs, Water superintendent
Shaffer, Street Commissioner Spar
row and Fire Marshal Quinn. Coun-
Gilman Wolford was unable to at
tend on account of illness.
The opinions of City Attorney
Downs relative to the opening OF
West Second street and on the slot
machine question were filed, as stat
ed in the Journal of Thursday.
The matter of the purchas of Is
feet of additional ground for the
fifth ward fire house premises were
referred to the real estate commit
tee, to investigate and report back.
The question of the transfer of
the license of the American restau.
rant, held in the name of F. O..
Trump, to George Vervost, again
came UP for consideration. Attorney
Edmund P. Hunter appeared for Yer
vost, while Attorney J. o. Henson
appeared in behalf of F. o. Trump.
After some discussion the council
voted to grant the license, but later
the legality of the action of the
council was questioned by the men,
hers, and the matter was held up
pending an investigation. Some
months ago the council passed a res
olution to the effect that no restau.
rant licenses should be granted to
non-residents of the city, and if this
resolution holds good it would void
the action of the council in granting
the license to vorvost.
Mrs. Schiller and Miss Nota Wev-
er appeared on behalf of the Flor
ence Crittendon home, in Fairfax
county, Va, and asked that the coun-
Gil vote funds to aid the work. The
council, being prohibited by law
from using city funds for any ele-
mosynary purpose, could not com.
ply with the request, although ex-
pressing sympathy with the work.
A. H. Slaughter and John A. Horn,
residents of East Race street, ap-
peared to file complaint against the
noise caused by the dogs of neigh
Dor. and the council declared the
dogs nuisance and cited the own
er to appear before the mayor and
explain the matter.
