10000 SHEEP AND
5 HERDERS SOUGHT

Jose Jaca of McDermitt had two
bands of sheep, eight thousand head,
IN Louise Canyon, beyond the three
forks of the Owyhee. when the storm
came two weeks ago, and all are lost.
Julian Larrabide & Co., also of Nc
Dermitt. had about the same number
on Grassy mountain. A few of these
found their way down to the Blivens
place on the desert and two horses
and a mule of the pack outfit arrived
at the Owyhee Valley at Rome. thirty
five miles from Jordan Valley, Oregon.
No trace has been found of the three
herders with this outfit and it is
feared they have perished. Searching

FALLON HAY. AFTER SLUMP.
BRINGS GOOD PRICE OF $23

The slump in the Fallon hay market
has become a thing of tie past with
much activity along the same lines
replacing it, According to the
Churchill County Standard. 5000 tons
of hay has been sold during the last
ten days through the management OF
the Gray, Reid & Company and the |.
II. Kent Company.
Most of this has brought twenty
three dollars ton and a further ad-
vance to twenty-five dollars is ex-
pected by the farmers.
Two months ago there was very
little activity in the hay market there,
the farmers offering their hay at fif-
teen dollars in the stack.
According to insurance figures and
farm bureau reports. the amount OF
production of alfalfa hay. in the New
lands project exceeds that OF any
other part of Nevada.

from Azparren's automobile several
months ago. 1t is the contention of

FACTS CONCERNING
COUNTY'S FINANCES

Frank Germain, county recorder
and auditor, and Treasurer Cora Il.
Hoenstine are busy today completing
their annual financial report, which
will be sent to the State auditor. In
terestng facts concerning Humboldt
county's affairs are set forth in this
report, notable among them being
that the total assessment since divi-
sion is $17.112,S3S.00. which produces
total payment of $277,313.54. exclu-
sive of special taxes. This amount is
derived from county tax rate of 9S
cents on each 800 assessed valuation
and a State rate of 67.05 cents. OF
the $277,313.54 total to be collected by
the county treasurer, the State gets
s114,741.5S, leaving s162,571.46 for
Humboldt county's use.
The report shows that the first pay
ment of taxes brought in $169,64S75,
leaving delinquency of $3.395.27,
mostly represented by railroad hold
ings.
Included in the work of making up
the annual report was apportionment
to the various funds of the money just
received and an itemized statement OF
where the money came from. This
latter tabulation is interesting and
shows that actual taxes, first pay

ference in money obtained from the
various districts is caused by the

BATTLE NTH. YANK
TELLS ABOUT SIBERIA

David Clancy. known to a great
many as Red" Clancy. has returned
to his home at Battle Mountain. En-
route he stopped off at Sparks. where
the following story was printed in the
Tribune concerning him:
Clancy has been in the army for the
past twenty-five months, having re-
ceived his discharge on the tenth of
this month. He arrived in San Fran
cisco from Siberia on the ninth. He
spent fifteen months in the Siberian
company
In speaking of Siberia. Clancy tells
the story graphically in a few words
when he says Its no place for a
white man to live
The intense cold and the general
conditions of the country are not
suited to one from this country and
the living conditions are very severe.
In speaking of the Bolsheviki, Clancy
stated that the men in his regiment
experienced little or no difficulty from
that political faction of Russians, and
that all of the trouble in Siberia is
caused by bands of Russian bandits
who keep up a constant guerilla war;
fare, similar to the actions of the
bandit gangs in Mexico.
Since his discharge Clancy has been
visiting in Carson City at the home of
his sister, Mrs. George Cole, wife of
the State controller. He will resume
his former occupation with the cattle
companies of Lander county.

sistance was rendered and the larder
was provided with necessities that

In Reno the Elks conducted a regu-
lar grocery store. and all day long
autos were busy carrying the Christ
mas cheer into the homes of many

The sick were gladdened with the
luxuries that their financial condition
denied them, while poor were warmed
with comfortable clothing and the
needy were cheered with large sized
grocery orders and the cold rejoiced
at the sight of well filled wood sheds

Altogether there was a large sum
distributed by the Elks Santa Claus

gladdened at the sight of happiness

BIRCH CREEK MINE
IN ORE LAST WEEK

]. H. Schweble, of the International
Victory Company, has had some very
fiattering news from the Birch Greek
property of his company. For the
past week or two he has been too
busy with the sinking of the shaft at
the Yankee Blade property to take
the time to visit Birch Greek, and late
in the week re received word that Mr..
Olson, who is handling the Birch
Creek end of the work. has for the
past week been in ore of good quality
and that the ledge is widening as the
tunnel gets further into the hill He
is very much pleased with the out
look.
At the Yankee Blade property, also,
the ledge has widened materially as
it has gone down, and is now about
eight feet wide. and in good quality
ore, though not high grade shipping.
At the place it will be no surprise
at all, to those who know the history
or the neighborhood, if they cut into
some ruby silver rock at any round
holes, for it is in new ground that
the digging IS being done, and this
district is famous for the high grade
produced in the earlier days of the
camp.-[Aus N Reveille.

STOCK GROWERS TO
MEET NEXT MONTH

Control of the open ranges in the
state will be one of the principal
questions taken up at the annual
meeting of the Nevada Live Stock As
sociation, which will be held in Reno
late next month, according to the
Reno Gazette.
An effort is being made by the Of
ficers of the association to have all
the cattlemen and sheepmen in the
state, who are interested in the ques-
tion, there ts discuss it and some
definite action will probably be taken
The association has endorsed the
King bill. now in committee in con-
gress. which provides that the Presi-
dent, by proclamation, can withdraw
lands and place them under the con-
troll of the forest reserve. Proponents
of the measure declared that this 10
necessary if the ranges of this state
are to be preserved and not destroyed
beyond redemption.
Protection of the cattle and sheep
from poisonous plants, which are
plentiful in the state and do con-
siderable damage each year, is another
question that will be discussed in
connection with control of the ranges.
c. T.. Fleming of the university, has
been experimenting for some time
with poisonous plants and has deter
mined to a large extent just what
plants are poisonous and where they
are found, but outside areas, con-
trolled by the forest service, and
privately owned ranges, it is almost
impossible to carry on a campaign to
partially eradicate the plants.
In the forest services some of the
infested land has been grubbed out
and freed from poisonous plants. but
outside of warning cattle and sheep
men of the existence of the plants
and recommending methods of treat
ment nothing has been done to remedy
the situation on the open range, be-
cause there is no way to control the
open range, according to live stock
men.
That this state has lost twenty per
cent of its cattle this fall through
shipment out of the state. is the opin-
ion of Jerry Sheehan, Winnemucca
banker and cattle man, who is a
prominent member of the live stock
association. Dry summers and high
prices of hay are the cause of the cat
tie being shipped out, according to
Sheehan and he bases his estimates
on the cattle shipments out of Elko.
Eureka, Lander and Humboldt
counties.
There have been fewer sheep
shipped out of the state this year
than in former years, he says.
