HOW ABOUT NUTS?

Get your baskets or bags and lei

axe or a Ratchet to cut a stout
stick for beating the trees.
The air is clear and frosty, there
Is throbbing life within us, and
there is a thrill, too. A good sized
thrill always goes with the first
nutting of the season. With has.
kets and bags full to the brim, we
will march home again in triumph,
but not before we have sampled
our loads Of toothsome wild meats
and tested their sweetness. Is it
fun? Is it?
But stop a minute. Here ia a
new thought. There is something
more than fun connected with nuts.

grow wild is an important part Of

A MISUNDERSTANDING.

Once upon a time q Dutchman
tried to 60 from a certain place to
Arkansas on q meal ticket. The
conductor said he would have to
pay his way right. The Dutchman
asked how much it would be to the
next town. and the conductor said
thirty cents. l will give you TWEEN
ty-five. and Ill get off and walk be-
fore I'll give you any more. The
conductor stopped the train and
put him off. He got in front of
the train and began to walk. So
the mot0rman- blew his whistle.

what you could find growing there.
Nuts are the most nourishing Of
all. wild foods. You could live a
long while on nuts. They take the
place of meat for time and satisfy
your appetite while Strengthening
your body, but some of them are
rather rich food. Our richest Amer
lean nut is the Butternut. DO you
know It; have you ever tasted it?
The Butternut grows plentifully
in Ohio and farther south. 1t has a
wild flavor which is not liked by
every one and it is quite oily. Its
shell is rough like the Walnut, but
longer, not round. and the outer
husk is green and sticky. When
you pound it the juice stains your
hands brown.
The small, three-sided Beechnut
has most delicate flavor. 1t takes
a good many of these to satisfy
hearty appetite. Between the But
ternut and Beechnut, the largest
and smallest of our native wild
nuts, are the Walnut, HickOrynut,
Chestnut. Hazelnut and Chinqua-
pin. The Chinquapin grows only
in the south.

Winter Coats
BY Adelia Belle Beard

BY Adelia Belle Beard
1t Is in the wintry North. and the
| States where the snow flies. that
winter coats are most needed.
Good. thick ones the wild creatures
put on. too; all wool with no shoddy
about them. Tremendously ex-
pensive some of them are. or would
be for us. but their rightful owners
acquire them by the simple process
of shedding their summer furs and.
at the same time, growing new and
thicker ones on their backs.
The interesting part of this
change Is that with some of the
animals the winter coats are diff.
ferent from those worn during
warm weather. Perhaps where
you are winter and summer are the
same to them. as far as looks are
concerned. yet you will want to
know what they are like where the
weather is really cold.
In Canada and in our Northeast
ern States. the big long cared
VARYING HARE wears a summer
coat of dull brown. but when winter
comes, he is clothed in pure white
fur. This not only protects him
from the cold. but makes him al
most invisible when snow is on the
ground. 1t is not easy to see
white against white. you know.
Another animal that wears white
fur in winter is the IONCTAILED
WEASEL. II you have ever seen
a weasel you will know that his
summer coat is brown Like the
Varying Hare, however. he sheds
this coat and replaces it with one
all snowy white except at the tip
of his tail. and that is black. 1t is
the weasel's white coat and the
black tip Of his tail which gives us
the costly Ermine Fur.

THE DEEP LEVELS
SHOW RICH ORE

1t has been officially stated that
silver ore assaying over $500 a
ton has been opened up on the
215O-foot level of the Consolidated
Virginia mine, the most famous
of all the old Comstock mines,
which gave Nevada the title of
the Silver State, says the Virginia
Chronicle. For many years ex-
plorations have been carried on in
the deep workings of the mines
to open up the downward ex-
tension of the bonanza ore shoot
from which S7O,OO0.OOO was paid
i'll dividends, but which was lost
at a depth of 1900 feet.
In the past few weeks the ore
on the 2l5O levelAand from the
bottom of the Wine below that
level has improved from Sl8 and
so to S4l ton and drifting on
the same has disclosed the rich
ore assaying over $500, the full
extent of which has not yet been
determined. The old bonanza ore
shoot from the 1,107 to the ] 600
level was 300 feet wide and paid
S7O,O00,0O0 in dividends.

A SLIDING SCALE

A wage based on the price of
silver has been entered into by
the Rochester Mines company
and its employees through which
the men employed at the mine re-
ceive bonus when silver reaches
SILL an ounce or more. The
agreement was voluntary on the

Nj. w. Hubbard and B. V. Vol
man. representing the company.

the same as at Tonopah, $3.50 a
shift for machine men and $500
for miners. When the average
price of silver for any month has
been less than S1.2l and not more
than Sl.25 per ounce. bonus of
Is cents per shift will be paid.
When the average price for any
month has not been less, than
Sl.25 per ounce, an additional bo-

INCOME TAXES
ARE NOW DUE

The collector Of internal rev
enue for this district has an
nounced that plans for the issu-
ance early in December Of forms
for filing income tax returns are
being made by the bureau Of in
ternal revenues. Taxpayers will
thus be given tine opportunity Of
making out their returns immedi-
ately upon the close, Of their books
for the year 1919, when accurate
knowledge Of their accounts is
fresh in their minds.
AS great convenience to them
selves and as a means Of expedit-
ing the work of the government,
taxpayers are urged by the bu-
reau to avail themselves of this
opportunity. The period for fill
ing is between January 1st and
March Is, 1920, if the tax is
paid i'll quarterly installments,
one-fourth of the amount must
accompany the filing of the re-
turn.
Form 1O4OA will be used for
filing Individual tax returns Of
$1,000 or less and form 104O for
filing returns in excess of that
amount. The normal rate Of tax
for 1919, provided for in the reve-
nue. act 1918, is four per cent on
the first $4,000 above the exemp-
tons, and eight per cent on the
remaining net income. TIE tax
for 1918 was six and twelve per
cent respectively. The surtax
rates, which range from one per
cent on the amount of net in
come between $1,000 and $1,000
to sixty-five per cent of the
amount by which the net income
exceeds 100000, are THE same
as for the year 1918. The exemp-
tons Of 81, 900 for single persons
and $1,000 for married persons
heads of families remain unchang-
ed.
These rates apply to every citi-
zen and resident of the United
States. Alien non-residents re-
ceiving income from sources in
the United States are subject to
tlt- full tax of eight per cent on
such incomes in excess of the ex-
emDtiOnS.

MINING MAN WANTED

Justice Grier, of Tonopah, has
issued warrant for the arrest OF
Homer Wilson on the complaint
of miners who say they worked
at the property OF the United Lodi
Mining company, at Lodi, Nye
county, without receiving any
wages. The charge is misrepre.
sentation to workmen and is a
very grave offense under the new
labor laws which make it crimi-
nal charge to hire men without
having the ability or means to pay
them.
| The complaints were sworn to
by John Siri, who alleges that he
is entitled to Sl6l; Steve Parone
who claims $l64.5O and Frank
Olero wants $50. Homer Wilson,
ten years ago was one of the
most prominent figures in the
southern part of Nevada when he
operated the keane Wonder
mine in Death Valley and pro-
noted over score of Goldfield
companies. Little is known here
Of the Lodi company. The war

CREAM SEPARATOR TAKES
KICK" OUT OF CIDER

The item herewith is going the
rounds Of the newspapers and
has boosted the sale of cream
separators to the limit:
Joy looms unrefined on rural
horizons, through the discovery
by Pasquual Silver, dairynan,
that running cider through a
cream separator gives a liquor
with 90 per cent wallop to it.
There is talk Of erecting a statue
Of Silveri in honor of his discov-
cry. The dairyman's process is
simplicity itself. The separator,
as every farmer knows, works on
the principal Of centrifugal force.
The heavy parts Of cream are
whirled away from the milk and
collected. Silveri reverses the
process with the cider whirling
the heaevier components away
from the alcohol. The latter
comes away in clear, amber Ii
guild with millionaire's dream
in every drop.
Experts are Of, the opinion
that the new drink is out side of
federal prohibition control, as it
is not manufactured by a process
but is NATURAL product evolved
from the commercial handling Of
finished article.
"As a result of Silveri's discov-
cry farmers all over the country
have started buying apples by the
ton to run through their cream
separators in anticipation Of the
coming dry winter. The dairy
man discovered the liquor purely
by accident, at Warm Springs,
when he ran cider through his ma
chine to purify>it. When he drew
off the liquor he tasted it; then
he took quick look up the road
and ran for a demijohn. After
it was bottled he called in all the
neighbors and the party was on"

DOESN'T LIKE NO

Carl Anderson was in town
this week from the mineral sec

like many others, does not be-
lieve in the law suspending the
assessment work on mining
claims, he claiming that II a pros
pect is not worth 500 worth of
work each year, then the pros
pector should let it go. That the
law retards development and al
lows too many claims to be in the
hands of one or two persons, who
will not open up the property
themselves and keep others from,
from it.-Battle Mountain Scout.

RICH SILVER ORE
AT OLD MINE

Wayne Everett, OF Minden, ].
Lynden and associates have taken
over the old POGO TEMPO group
Of claims on Alkalki Lake, just
south Of the Mountain House.
Recent developments have OPP
ened up some fine shipping ore,
while last week a new discovery
was made of a vein OF silver-lead
ore that shows value Of S9O.O3
per ton.
The property was operated by
Glib Briggs of Carson i'll 1902, also
by A. G. Pratt and A. NJ. Martin.
A five stamp mill was erected
on the lake and a considerable
amount of ore was crushed and
concentrated. The vein is large
and is splendid concentrating
proposition, there being streaks
of highgrade shipping ore through
out the vein,
Ore assaying as high as five
and six dollars per ton has been
encountered in many places.
The original incline shaft was
in such ore at a depth of $50 feet.
A main working tunnel was
driven to tap the vein under the
shaft, this tunnel being some 400
feet long.
The property is to be develop
ed this winter and if sufficient
ore is found to justify it, an up-to-
date concentrating plant will be
erected next spring.
