The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-07-06

A very important transaction in
the Divide district, located at Gold
Mountain, south of Tonopah, was
consummated recently when the East
vide Mining company, a corpora
tion composed of several Tonopah
and Goldfield mine operators, pur-
chased the Merced claim, lying east
of the big Divide mine, for suo-
stantial consideration. The COM
pany already twned a block of six
claims to the east of the Alto group,
which lies directly on the trend OF
the ledge, as indicated by the d 9
dyke running through the district.
A portion of the property is with
in a short distance of the southeast
ern corner of the Gold Zone Divide
Mining company. The Merced claim
is about the last of what are known
as the ''inside" claims that is,
those within close proximity to the
main Divide property, all the nearby
independent claims having been pur-
chased within recent months after the
Divide company struck the big ledge
on it's second level.
The outstanding feature connect
ed with the prospects of the East
Divide Mining company making into
one of the big properties of the dis
trict is the fact that one of the small
hills on the Merced claim is "blow-

out" which geologists claim is sim
liar in all respects to that that on
the Tonopah Divide property.
Such a condition is believed to be
most promising for the discovery OF
a big vein. In addition, other cross
veins are reported to be trending di-
rectly into the East Divide property,
and the blowout is presumed to
have occurred at the junction of the
main ledge with one of the cross
veins.
Superintendent Waters of the To-
nopah Divide has reached the 90
foot point below the 260-foot sta
tion of the Tonopah Divide Mining
company, and last night, in connec-
ito with the regular sinking opera
tions, started the drilling OF holes
to make the station at the 36O-foot
level.
Ten feet more will bring the bot
tom of the shaft to the intended sta
ton level, and then after the sump
has been made blasting out for the
station will be done and cross-cut-
ting to the southwest to catch the
downward extension of the big gold
silver-molybdenum vein will be
started.
Mr.. Waters made a trip to Fal-
lon recently, where he purchased a

there is need OF any reform there is
already ample remedy within the
reach Of the people. and the people
can have whatever the majority is
agreed on. Already the federal gov
eminent has taken the grading of
grain practically out of the hands
of the buyers. If the producer is
not satisfied with the grade given
at the warehouse he has remedy
by sending a sample to the state
grader, who works In conjunction
with the state and federal food con-
troll. Or the producer may ship in
carload lots direct to the govern
ment at terminal warehouses. This
rather explodes the Townley plans
to give us government ownership
at one swoop. 1t shows how the
present form of government is amp
ly sufficient to meet every need of
the farmer. and that there is no &C.
casion for getting excited and spill

A Portland, Oregon, item says
Hogs are selling on the local mar

man who wrote that knew as much
as hog he'd know that it costs all
of 20 cents pound to produce hogs
and that there is little profit in the
hog business today as most small
farmers are situated. The Republi-
can editor is growing seven head of
hogs this summer. If they cost us
less than 20 cents a pound we'll be
satisfied. We pay three cents per
pound for feed, and will now COM

LET US KNOW THE TRUTH.

1t is rank nonsense to say that
our farmers who have joined the
Non-Partisan League are not loyal
and patriotic. We know they are.
We know that in Clearwater county
the farmers who have joined the
league have not been moved by any
spirit OF disloyalty, and that they
are not slackers. There can be no
question on this point, however we
may question the loyalty Of Town
ley, who has been proven to be an
i. w. W., and whose loyalty is SER
iously questioned. We are sure of
our farmers as to their devotion to
this government, and we are equal
1y sure the great majority will not
knowingly affiliate with the League
II that organization is not right.
We are sure our farmers will well
come most searching inquiry in
to the inner workings of the League
and its promoters. and will be the
Arst to kick out Mr.. Townley If he
is actuated by improper motives.
In line with this thought this
paper plans to give its readers an
extended and thorough history of
the Non-Partisan League, and the
system under which its leaders are
working; also the facts about the
purposes of the League as they
have been unfolded in North Dako-
ia and other fields where Townley
and his co-workers have operated.
We propose to show the league as

camoufiage for Socialism, that is to
ultimately overthrow this nation; II
sTownley is at heart a rank Red
Card Socialist who plans to destroy
this government and give us the
Russian Bolsheviki situation, our
farmers will welcome the truth, and
not be led to their own ruination.

In the last issue Of the Mountain

It comes from prominent demo-
cratic paper Of Idaho. Here Is how
this democratic editor feels about
the political situation confronting
the democrats of our state:
1.-THE Partisan league has

that their economic position could be

promised reforms and without much
investigation have cast their lot
with the new organization. If all

for the nominees pf the democratic

years and decent state govern

ticket. AS this is written it is un-
settled whether any other democrats
won in the primaries. If they did
the non-partisans will beat them at
the polls in November so We might
as we'll make a clean sweep and
trade our support to the entire re-

Green hides are worth less today
than they were before the war. and
shoes are worth about sixty per
cent. more, while harness and other
leather products are double. Some
of this may be accounted for in the
increased cost of labor, but that is
not enough to take up near all the
difference. Why should the man
who produces the hide get less than
before the war? Isn't 1t time to
raise little hell with the packers?
Hadn't the administration better go
into the hide game and do some con-
trolling. just as they have the farm
ers' wheat? For somebody is fixing
the price of green hides, and it is
not based on supply and demand.
The packers control the tanning in
dustry. and the leather supply.

We have not found one democrat
or one republican who is not bitter
ly opposed to profiteering. But the
Non Partisan League assumes that
1t alone stands opposed to profiteer-
ing. We are sure all normal Amer
leans are opposed to this sort OF
war graft. We are opposed, as a
republican, to private interests FIX
ing the price of wheat or hides OF
meat or hay or any product, and we
are only one of 100,000,000 other
citizens who feel the same way. II
the government can regulate the
price of sugar in war time, and
curb the sugar trust, it can do sc
in time Of peace. And we are in
favor of regulation SO far as it IL
necessary to stop organized greed
from robbing both consumer and
producer. We object to the packing
trust fixing the price of my green
hides, and then robbing me blind
when l buy back my hide in the
form Of shoes and harness. And we
voice the sentiment of every normal
democrat and every sane republican
in the United States. when we say
this.

profiteering put on a pair of over

when he reflects that he once said

farmer who today produces pork at
20 cents pound is a patriot. For
1t certainly isn't for profit under

Strained honey is 35 cents a
pound on the local market. A year
ago it was 10 cents wholesale in
Spokane. Increased cost of feed for
the bees. we suppose!
And when fish jumps we are to
understand that the increase in the
retail price is due to the high cost
of fish feed. We can see through
that all right!
And we wonder If 1t is seditious
to inquire why the democratic ad-
ministration regulates the price of
wheat Of the northern producers,
and let's the solid South, democrat
ic, sell cotton at q fabulous figure ?
When a Clearwater county farmer
wants calico dress for the wife he
pays for it, but when southern
cotton farmer wants a sack of flour
the democratic administration holds
down the price. Why this discrimi-
nation? Why not regulate all OF
nothing?

prepared by the United States Depart

Too many farmers buy n part or all
or their supply of meat from local
stores and hucksters. Meat, especially
pork. can be grown and cured at home
for much less than the cost of the
purchased meat, TO say nothing of a
ready market for good country cured
hams. shoulders and sides. In spite
or this the custom of farmers purchas-
Ing cured meats is increasing. 1t may
not be practicable for every farmer to
butcher and cure his own meat, but in
nearly every community few farmers
could do this and make good profits.
Farmers who sell cOuntry-cured meats
have experienced very little difficulty
IN establishing permanent trade. To
accomplish this one must understand
the kind of cured meat his trade de-
mandS, and also how it is made. COun-
try-cured meat often carries too much
fat and undesirable odors, and it is
generally too salty. A well-marbled,
juicy. savOry piece Of meat showing
the proper admixture of fat and lean
and possessing a good flavor is the
kind the consumer desires.
In selecting hogs for butchering,
health should have first consideration.

fed and carries prime finish, the best

ity of meat. Do not kill n hog that is
losing flesh. A reasonable amount of
fat gives juiciness and flavor to the
meat, but large amounts of fat are not
essential.
The breeding Of animals plays an
important part in producing a carcass
OF high quality. Selection, long con-
tinued care and intelligent feeding will
produce meat of desirable quality. The
smooti!, even and deeply fieshed hogs
will yield the nicely marbled meat.
The meat from very young hogs
lacks flavor and is watery. Old meat
is generally very tough. The meat of
old hogs can be improved, however, IL
they are properly fattened before
slaughter. Hogs can be killed for
meat any time after eight weeks, but
the most profitable age at which to
slaughter is eight to twelve months.
Hogs intended for slaughter should
better, 80 hours. Give them all the
clean. fresh water they will drink.
This will help TO clear the system of
food and will facilitate bleeding. Do
not excite or whip hog before killing.
An excited hog never makes q good
carcass, and whipping causes bruised
hams, which are not fit to cure. An In
jured hog may be used for food pro-
vided Ii Is bled Immediately.
1t is essential to have the proper
equipment for rapid and skillful work
at killing time. An eight-inch straight
sticking knife, cutting knife, IL
inch steel, a hog hook, bell-shaped
stick scraper, gambrel and q meat
saw. More than one of each of these
tools may be necessary IL many hogs
are to be slaughtered and handled to
best advantage. A barrel is very
convenient receptacle in which to scald
hogs. The barrel should be placed at
an angle of about As degrees at the end
OF table or platform Of proper
height. The table and barrel should
be securely fastened to prevent acct
dent to the workmen due to slipping.
A block and tackle will reduce labor.
All the tools and apparatus should be
in readiness before beginning.
