with the very important livestock
agricultural units, will shortly sur
prise the foid-consuming world; a
section that will enjoy all the advan-
tages and privileges Of water trans
portation and rates, railways and au-
to highways
A point brought out during my re-
cent trip to New York City that
seemed to favorably impress finan-
ciers and business men was the fact
that, due to Florida's crop-growing
+, season of 365.25 days, together with
both an abundant and quite well dis
tributed rainfall, 1t is possible for
the intelligent, enterprising and in
dustrious agriculturist to produce
three and even four food crops from
the same land each year, as against
one crop produced by the Northern
farmer, together with unexcelled
transportation facilities, both by land
as we'll as by water and the fact that
the quickest relief in solving the ma
tional food shortage situation should
naturally be expected to come from
those sections best favored by climat-
ic conditions.
A careful study of the 10 sections Of
epitomized statements of fact relat-
ing to the natural advantages Of this
Cape Sable territory given above will
probably convince the average read
er that this area of extreme South
Florida is well-nigh ideal for the pro-
duction Of great quantities of human
food products in continuous rotation,
and that the quickest and most imme-
date results can be obtained by TAX
ing advantage of this exceptional op.
portunity to aid our beloved country
in her dire extremity.
The soils of Cape Sable can be d.
vided into two broad soil types, |. e.,
basic mari pra1ries, characterized by
supporting an exclusive growth of ma.
tive grasses, most Of which being of
species having high pasturage values,
have a soil for the first six inches
composed principally Of decayed
grass In various stages and degrees
of decomposition; this first six inches
of soil is underlaid with approximate.
ly eight inches of mari, highly i'm
pregnated with humus; from this
point the soil is nearly pure basic
mari, which extends to a total depth
of from 10 to Is feet; at a depth OF
from 10 to Is feet from the surface
the oolitic and coraline limestones
are reached, characteristic to the
Florida keys and the extreme South
Florida mainland. 1t is this hard
oolite limestone that outcrops at Mi.
ami and surrounding territory which
makes land clearing SO slow and ex
pensive.
The other class of Cape Sable soils
belong to the basic mari hammock
type, characterized by supporting a
strictly tropical growth Of trees
vines, herbs and other plants, with
but little grass. About the first six
inches Of the soil of this hammock
soil type is composed of finely decom
posed leaf-mold; this Is undertake
with about eight inches of rich mari
carrying large amount of humus
and this, in turn (as in the prairie
type), with a pure mari to a total
depth of from 10 to IA feet, when the
cora'ine and oolitic limestines are
reached. The main distinguishing
characteristic between the prairie and
hammock soil types is that the soil
of the former is composed largely of
decayed grass and the latter of leaf.

Belgian Veterans Greeted

With a big silk flag that former

Elks proudly waving from the rear
car, the special train of nine cars
carrying 800 Belgian and Italian
veterans of the Russian front left
Reno a few nights ago while thou
sands of people cheered for Belgi-

soldiers was the greatest eve given
in Reno. Only a minute before the
train left the depot e. sug-

should be flying from the rear of
the train in company with Italian
and Belgian colors. Mayor Byington
Immediately secured a large silk
flag owned by the Elks and in be-

NEVADA-AUSTIN co.
HAS NEW DIRECTORATE

Returning Wednesday from the
mine at Newpass. near Austin, w.
C. Pitt, president, and J.. H. Nc
Cracker, secretary of the Nevada
Austin mines company, state that
the property is making good prog
ress toward pushing production to
the point where the mill will be kept
running at it's utmost capacity, says
the Lovelock Review-Miner.
Forty-five men are employed in
the mine and mill at present and the
mill is running steadily. Bullion
shipments are going forward regu-
larly.
At the recent meeting of the
stockholders in Reno, W. c. Pitt of
Lovelock was elected president of
the company, following the purchase
of a big block of stock from Frank
M%argrave, which places the control
in the hands of Mr.. Pitt. j. H. Nc
Cracker of Lovelock is secretary.
The executive offices have been
moved to Lovelock and all business

SEEK INCREASE
IN WATER RATES
GOLDFIELD CITIZENS TO COM
BAT EFFORTS TO DOUBLE
CHARGES

Goldfield water consumers will
be interested as we'll as surprised
to know that the local water COM
pdny has filed an application with
the public service commission at
Carson City for a new schedule.
calling for about double the rates
row charged.
On December Is, 1916, the public
service commission reduced water
rates in this community from Sc
per thousand gallons to 50, with
an additional charge of 81 per
room for sewer rent.
Alleging their profits have been
materially reduced the past year.
the water company, on March 5,
without advertising the fact, made
application to the public service
commission for permission to again
rut into effect the old rate of Sc
per thousand gallons, just double
the present rate. Householders
who are now paying $2.40 for
water, will pay $500 for water,
and with sewer $3.50, if the old
rates are restored and saloons and
restaurants now paying $50 per
month for water would have to
pay $50 per month.
A number Of prominent citizens
of Goldfield have filed a protest
with the public service commission,
who have held up the water COM
rany's application and announced
that they will change the place of
hearing from Carson City to Gold
field at a date to be later named,
convenient to all parties concerned.

WILL BORE FOR
OIL At fAl[ON
DRILLING EQUIPMENT ARRIVES
AND WILL BE WORKING
! SHORTLY

Local interest in the development
of the oil possibilities of this section
received an impetus again this week
when an oil drilling outfit, under
contract with the Nevada Salt Basin
Dome Oil company, was unloaded at
the depot.
The outfit is in charge of T. w
Clark, an experienced well driller,
and has a capacity of 1000 feet. The
machinery will be set up this week
at a point about three miles south
east of Sand Springs, just north Of
the Lincoln highway, where the
company has elected to make its ini-
tiai try at drilling for a deposit of
oil. While awaiting the arrival of
the drilling machinery the company
erected a couple of buildings for the
accommodation of the crew and as
son as the machinery is on the
ground operations will begin.
The proposal to drill for oil in this
territory originated with w. M. Nc
Caffrey of Reno, who has had wide
experience in this line in Wyoming.
He was attracted by the similarity of
the geological conditions in the Sand
Springs district to that which OBJ
tains in the oil fields, of Wyoming.
Not content with his own judgment
of the possibilities, Mr.. Mccartney
secured the advice of one Of the most
successful operators in that state,
who made a survey Of the district
and gave 1t as his opinion that there
were present all the surface indica-
lions that usually accompany oil de-
posts in other districts.
Naturally, with this opinion there
goes no guarantee that oil exists in
this valley, but the promoters of the
enterprise realized that the only way
to settle the question was by explor-
ing the territory at depth. and the
arrival of the machinery and the be-
ginning of operations is the best ev-
idence of the good faith of the COM
pany.
The prosperity that would follow
the discovery of oil in commercial
quantities in this county are almost
beyond computation and the favor
able reception that has been accorded
the movement to demonstrate the
possibilities by actual work augurs
we'll for a successful outcome.
The board of directors is made uT
almost entirely of local men, which
is a guarantee that the money sub
scribed in the stock Of the enterprise
will at least be used to bore the hole
let the results be what they may

with the return Of normal condi-

1t would be unwise, however. to
plan the erection of a mill under
present conditions. as equipment
cannot be obtained at any price for

many other mining companies the
Cooperative is forced to await a
