Wealthy Ranchers Labor

Henry and Edward Kirchner,
men who have spent nearly all their
lives in Paradise valley, in Hum
boldt county, and who have made
fortunes in %ranching, are not con-
tent to remain idle while men are
needed to harvest the hay crops.
They sold their ranch in Paradise
valley last spring for $4,000,
which they added to their already
large bankroll. When an urgent
call came from Lovelock for hay
hands the Kirchner brothers were
the first to respond and they are
now working in the fields for $3.50
a day.

TonOpah Extension

Rejecting the generally i'm.
proved conditions at the TonOpah
Extension Mining company's under
ground workings, the mill, on the
End of July completed the final
cleanup for June, and subsequently
shipped to the smelters on the Pa
cific coast "a bars of bullion which
weighed in the aggregate 71,44O
ounces. The company, in reporting
the forwarding of the bullion ship
ment, has placed - IN it an ap-
proximatt valuation of $4,000.
The p evious cleau-.p in June,
consisted of 81 bars, weighing Co.
4S5 ounces, and the worth of the
shipment, as estimated by the COM
pany at the same time, was $4,000.
A goodly proportion of the ore
produced by the entire mine and
sent to the company's mill is com
ing from the immense Slopes on the
Murray and the Merger veins at
the 16S0-foot level of the Victor
section of the mine. The stopping
work which has recently been done
on these veins has continued to dis
close widths of IA and s feet re-
spectively, and the grade of the ore,
which was found upon develop
ment, to be vastly better than the
bulk of the r lately produced On
the upper levels, has consistently
maintained it's high status.
Recent reports by officers of the
company indicate hat higher mill
heads are now shown at the stamps,
and with the high rate of extraction
that the Extension mill accomplishes
there is grounds for expectation
that the earnings of the Extension
company will increase from now on.
According to a New York report,
1t the annual meeting of stock
holders on May II at the New York
offices of the company, DR.. M. R.
Ward, president of the company.
stated that the directors would not
dividend payments until net
quick assets aggregated at least
$500, OOO.
These now approximate $4O0, 900
equivalent to 81 cents a share, and
are being materially added to by
the improved monthly earnings.
The prediction is justified that net
quick assets will reach the minimum
set by President Ward within the
next month or two.
TOnOpah Belmont
With the exception that the
Tonopah Belmont Development COM
pany, like the other companies
operating in the Tonopah district
suffered an interruption on July
4th, to allow it's employees to take
part in the patriotic celebration
held here, the progress made dur
ing the past week has been fully up
to normal. This year, only n day
was given over to the Independ-
ence Day exercises. in place of the
several days which has been the
custom in former years; conse-
quently the advances made in ex-
tending development work at the
Belmont and the other mines has
been at the usual weekly rate.

tanned its regular service and put
through the normal quantities of
ore from the mine and from those

DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

The Tonopah BelmonC sent to the
mill 1870 tons, the Tonopah Min
ing $3.50 tons, the Tonopah Extern
sion 1886 tons, the Jim Butler 469
TONS. and miscellaneous 40 tons,
making the total production for
the week 9106 tons, the estimated
value being $154,S02. This valua-
ton is calculated on the gross mill
ing value of the ore.
The output figures OF the Tono-
pah Mining company, as reported
weekly by the management, indi-
cate that the month of June will be
one of the heaviest of the year, in
the point of tonnage shipped, as for
the first foul weeks, with ship
ments respectively of $3.50, 1850,
34OO and 5000, the tonnage was
over $4,000 tons. The extra days
OF the month will undoubtedly
bring the total up to we'll above the
$1,000 mark.
The great portion of the output
as has been the case for months
past, came from the big dumps
which were near the Mizpah and
the Silver Top shafts. At the first
named shaft, the dumps have nearly
been cleaned up, the original sur
face of the hill now showing in
several places formerly covered by
the dumps. A considerable quantity
of dump ore, however, remains at
this place, as we'll as at the Silver
Top shaft, and shipments will con-
tinue from the dumps for some time
to mi
The total amount of development
work performed at the mine, for
the week ending Tuesday last, when
the latest measurements were taken
was los, distributed among the sew
eral sections of the mine as fol-
lows: Silver Top territory. 60 feet;
Mizpah claim, 2S feet; Sandgrass
claim, II feet.
The mining program for the week
followed the usual lines, with little
or no change at any of the work
ings. Some of the work was dis
continued, and new work under
taken, as shown by the following re-
port:
In the Silver Top ground, on the
14O-foot level, the work consisted of
stopping on the vertical vein west of
the shaft. The conditions in the
stope are practically identical with
those reported in previous weeks,
the vein continuing to show a 2-foot
width as stopping is advanced on it
and the ore that is produced being
of milling grade.
On the 240-foot level, as on the
first level, the only work was in
the natur of stopping, on the same
vein. These operations are being
carried forward west of the shaft,
and there is little change of any
kind on either of the levels. The
vein at the lower stOpe is about 81
feet in width and is yielding milling
grade ore in the usual quantities.
On the 34O-foot level, a small
amount of work vas performed by
way of extending the face of the
east drift on the Burro Nc. 2 vein,
which was being sem out with the
object of trying to find the foot
wall stringer of the vein. The work
met with no success, however, and
operations in the drift we're dis
continued after it had made a short

Sheepmen Get Big Prices

Sheepmen &c Big Prices
A representative of a Boston wool
house recently shipped a carload of
wool valued at $4,000 from Win
nemucca. Never in the history of
the sheep-raising industry in this
state has wool commanded such
high prices at at present and sheep
men are reaping huge profits. The
wool crop is now being moved to
eastern markets and during the past
few weeks many carloads have been
railroad points in Humboldt county.

Cash Boy
On the 1527-foot level work has
been resumed in west drift 1905,
which is being advanced on the o.
X. vein. There has been no change
in this drift.
Excellent Roadway is being made
in the south cross-cut on the above
level, which is being driven toward

Ore to the amount of 40 tons
was shipped during the week to the
West End mill, all of which was of
good grade.
Monarch Pittsburg
Work of retimbering the Monarch
Pittsburg shaft is progressing in a
satisfactory manner and it is
thought the retimbering will be
completed to the 600 level by Sun
day night. Some very heavy ground
was encountered at the 5O0-foot
point which required the driving of
spiling thereby retarding
to some extent.

THE SUGAR QUESTION.

Sugar is to be further restricted. 1t
may be very much further restricted.
There's reason.
The U-boat activities on the east
coast are Of course embarrassing to
shipping. Naturally it is holding many
ships Of priavte ownerships close in
port which otherwise might be bring
ing cargoes Of sugar from Cuba. Now
It is announced that the Germans are
TO undertake a savage attempt to
blocka de our east coast with undersea
boats. Whether or not that blockade
will be seriously successful the mere
fact that it is to be attempted will in
fuence owners against risking their
ships and that will bring embarrass
nent to the sugar situation.
What then? The consuming public
must tote square" with itself. Each
family must take its share and no
more. An honest division of the sugar
will permit lis to put up the fruit. In
order to do this housewives should
put up all that may be without sugar
depending on supplies later when the
fruit is to DE used; we must save on
the family table. It is not a question
OF sugar famine in the world for
there's plenty Of sugar. 1t is question
Of getting it to this country. Ships are
short. We haven't ships and time to
bring sugar from Java. We must get it
closer by. And now it seems that our
close by opportunity is to be en-
barrassed and perhaps much limited.
There is no doubt that some people
are unpatriotic enough to double or
treble on certificates. It is q proper
warning TO those that they are pretty
| sure to be caught at it when the certi-
dcates are finally checked over. 1t may
not be for weeks hut the signatures on
certificates will not fade. It Is true that
some persons have been going from one
store to another buying an allotment
at each and thus accommodating in
their selfshness more than their
neighbors. 1t is fair warning 10 those
that Investigation is likely to bring
out the facts and the facts are To have
consequences in their train.
1t is time the consuming public got
into the war altogether. Most Of II Is
doing its duty in patriotic way. 1t is

Let me see. In the last story the Old
Brown Horse was going for a, drive in
the Luckymobile with the two little
rabbits. That's right. / was not quite
sure at first whether he had gotten into
the Luckymobile or not. for sometimes
it's a hard thing for horse to climb
onto the back seat OF an automobile
without losing one of his iron shoes.
Well, as soon as he was comfortably
seated Uncle Lucky honked the horn and
away they went, and pretty soon they
came to the Fair Grounds. So Uncle
Lucky bought three tickets and drove
in thru the big gate and put the Lucky
mobile away in one of the long sheds
where the farmers put their horses and
wagons and then he and Billy Bunny
and the Old Brown Horse went over
to watch the horse races.
Well pretty soon the Old Brown
Horse got so excited that he wanted to
go into the race, too. But at first the
man who managed the Fair wouldn't
let him. but the Old Brown Horse beg
ged so hard that at last the man said:
IF you'll let Billy Bunny ride you in
the next race pll let you try it"
All right said the Old Brown Horse.
and he kicked up his heels and neighed,
he was so happy. you see.

proper places In the ranks Of those
who pstaotically seek, to conserve or
in the p,llory Of publicity And that Is
part of the program ahead.
The public eating places are being
strictly limited as TO beef. II Is
serious embarrassment to their bust
ness. The home should follow the
beef rules as strictly as the eating
places are compelled to DO. Get into
the war at home. The supply Of beef
stored in the United States when the
beef order was issued amounted to
three days supply.
SO far we have perfunctorily sub
mitted to the rules of the food admin
istration. The time has come to make
conservation our business and at
home. The housewife must win this
war side by side with the soldier.

Mr.. Ford's Foroc.fulne.s.

Divers inquis.tive folks have been
catechizing Mr.. Henry Ford. They
ask him point .olank whether he is a
republican or democrat. As a
shrewd gentleman with friends in
10th camps, ne smilingly puts the
question by. From the marble tablets
OF his memory he reads this inscrip-
ton:
Years ago. when I was just past
my twenty-hrst birthday, my father
said to me: Henry, You are a man
now and citizen, and it is time for
you to vote" lie took me to the vot-
ing place and advised me to vote for
James A. Garfield for president. I
did 50.
Mr.. Ford was 81 on July 80. 1884.
II he voted the republican ticket, he
voted for Mr.. Blaine. The depth Of
his interest in politics is shown by
this anecdote. It will not do to at
tribute the mistake to a. freak Of
memory There are some things not
forgettable while memory holds her
seat. In all these United States is
there another person Of sound and
disposing mind and memory who
