President Places Government
in Charge of Food Supply.

Washington, Nov. 21.-President
Wilson today placed the government
again in control of the nations food
supply by transferring the authority
of food administrator to Attorney
General Palmer. Revival of the war
time functions of Administrator
Hoover resulted directly from the
government efforts to avert famine
in sugar, but the powers delegated to
the head of the department of justice
will be used to help put down the
ever mounting cost of living.
For the present the attorney-gen-
eral will not put into operation all of
the machinery permitted under the
executive order signed by the presi-
dent but should conditions arise to
make it necessary the full pressure
Of all the broad power vested in him
will be executed to meet them.
Mr.. Palmer's staff will begin i'm
mediately to build up sugar distrib-
ting system which will allocate all
sugar stocks in the country. 1t will
provide an equitable system of dis
tributing supplies and will defeat
any concentration or boarding, Off
cials said.
Price Will Go Up
Plans, tentatively decided upon,
provide for increasing the price Of
all sugar excepting the Louisiana
crop for which price of II cents
already has been fixed, to IL cents
pound, wholesale.
Through the increase, new sources
of supply are expected to be opened.
With assurances that fair margin
of profit said to be about $1.54 a
hundred pounds, would be allowed,
sugar refners are ready to enter the
Cuban markets and purchase all
available stock, it was stated. Thus,

will avert shortage which threatens
to become famine during the next
so days. Immediate action also is
contemplated in curtailing the con-
sumption of sugar by manufacturers
who's. products are not regarded as
essential food. This will apply par
ticularly to soft drink dealers and
candy manufacturers. The abnormal
increase of sales of these articles and
the consequent heavy drain on the
sugar supply is traceable, officials
declared, to the enforcement of pro-
hibition.
Cut to be Made.
While it has not been definitely de-
termined, the cut in sugar supplies to
these classes of trade probably will

WHITE PINE COUNTY AND STATE
MAY ATTEMPT TO FIND WATER

Later in July Ira Mcfarland. in COM
pany with the White Pine county
Attorney Gilbert F. Boreman, made a
cursory examination of the White
river valley with view of ascertain
ns Ss Saer a has Secen s iesurpf Mr. M
Farland is of the opinion that artesian
| water can be developed in the White
river valley. but he was called away
by other duties and no definite steps
will be taken until his return in a
couple of weeks, when he will go over
the situation more thoroughly, and II
| he then decides that artesian water is
likely to be developed the county and
state will at once undertake the en-
| terprise.
The county of White Pine has a well
| drilling machine and full equipment,
| hence 1t is in a position to undertake
the work without further investment.
The work when started will be under
Farland and it is probable that the
| well will be sunk few miles to the
southwest of Preston few years
ago the county undertook a similar
enterprise in White river valley. but
the well proved an expensive failure
The well was drilled on the bench on
the eastern side of the valley, while
| Mr.. Mcfarland is more favorably inn
pressed with the western side as the
proper location for a well.
If this well should prove success il
would no doubt be the means of en-.
lcouraging private enterprise along the
same line and result in the bringine
into use of many other artesian wells
1t is the intention of the board Of
White Pine county to try for an ar
tesian well in Spring valley next year
as several small flows have already
been secured in the southern end.
1t would seem proper for neighbor
ing communities to recognize the mi
tiative and courage of men in nearb.
sections who are working along line
which mean so much for the develop
ment of the eastern part of the state
and the Record acknowledges CRATE
fully the work done by the neighbor
ing newspaper, the Ely Record, il
calling attention to this constructiv
effort leading to the development o
the underground waters and in givin
the facts used in this article.

Roadside Smith
Bonds Horn Silver

William A. ("Roadside') Smith has
acquired the Horn Silver mine from
the English interests ard he is hold
ing the property under bond and
lease The property consists Of six
patented claims and is completely
equipped with buildings and small
camp.
The Horn Silver mine is located
about twenty-eight miles northwest of
Phoebe. and about three miles north
east of the old Bristol smelter. or six
miles from the Bristol mine. 1t ~
reached by fair automobile, road. The
beds, dipping to the northwest at an
angle of twenty degrees, with a por-
phyry dyke cutting the formation at
eastern wall of what was called the
Horn Silver vein. The vein as meas
ured on the outcrop is about 500 feet
in length and from twenty -hye to
five to 500 ounces of silver to the ton
and carrying about so cents in gold.
| Assays taken some years ago from
the Groupings across a width Of two
feet gave 2O6 ounces of silver; another
sample across six inches gave las
ounces of silver, while third average
feet gave twenty-five ounces. There Is
a shaft on this claim, but it was moi
sunk on the ore.
William Lloyd, one of the best
known mining operators of Phoebe be
fore his death some years ago, made
the statement that he had never seer
a better surface showing for makins
a large producer than the showing o,
the Horn Silver mine.
E. l.. Godbe tested the ores of tn
Horn Silver mine and considered tha
1t was perfectly adapted to the cyanid
process of treatment. He obtained al
extraction of 80 per cent of the silve
with cyanide consumption of bu
one-half a pound to the ton of ore
The concentration obtained assaye
over 500 ounces.
Nothing has been done at the prop
erty during recent years, although .
L. Whipple, now of Sunnyside New
, in 1915 took out carload of ore fror
the surface workings which nette
him about $500. At that time silve
} was worth but so cents an ounce an
the carload averaged sixty-two ounce
in silver values.
The property is regarded with favo
y by those who know the local cond
Y tions, and since it is easily accessible
and supplied with water and wood /,
development will not be attended wit

! property and while it has been sal

IRA M'FARLAND WELL PLEASED
WITH RESULTS OF FIRST WELL

The Ely Record sent a man with Ira
Mcfarland, the field representative of
the state engineers office and the spe-
cial investigator for the federal gov
ernment of the water resources of Ne
vada, to the fiourishing ranch, where
they looked over the results of this
splendid pioneer work. While Mr..
Moller was late in getting started this
year, yet his crops are now growing
nicely and give promise of good
yield. and with his rich. level soil Mr..
Moller should soon have one of the
ideal ranches of White Pine county. :.
Mr.. Mcfarland was well pleased
with conditions at the ranch and feels
that the state, by the loan of the
pump and engine, has been instrument
tai in making this demonstration of
the results which may be expected
from other underground water sup
plies in Steptoe valley.
Mr.. Moller has decided that the
pumping engine gives better results
with crude oil, which costs cents pei
gallon, than with distillate, with 8
cost of 26 cents per gallon, and not
only does the engine give better re
suits, but two Gallons of crude oil will
last as long as three gallons of distil
late. Mr.. Moler has not had TIM
enough to test out thoroughly tn,

he Is of the opinion that the plant cal

WATERS OF STATE OF NEVADA
HAVE FEW SURFACE OUTLETS

Not only In Phoebe but also in other
sections Is work being carried forward

Nevada is a basin state and all the
water that falls within the state re-
mains within it, as there are no large
rivers and few small streams leading
out Of it. Certain valleys are great
reservoirs from which water might be
drawn through means of artesian
wells, while other valleys are UNDER
| laid by groundwater, which must be
pumped. The present dry season, with
the consequent drying up of irrigation
canals emphasizes the desirability of
developing the groundwater. Once the
| groundwater is developed a dry season
means nothing but increased prices

been put down in the Phoebe valley
