Tractors Make
Flowing Possible

Although conditions in Carson Val
ley are far from being favorable for
fall plowing. owing to lack of moisture
in the ground, it has not stopped the
work. With the aid of powerful
tractors, plowing is being carried on
with degree of satisfaction, farmers
realizing that ground turned over be-
fore the storms of winter, always pro-
duce greater crops the following sum
mer. Without the aid of tractors
fall plowing would have not been pos
sible this year and in fields where the
big outfits are at work. a cloud oi
dust enyelcps the plows, owing to the
extreme dryness of the soil. In few
instances, fields have been irrigated
to make the ground adaptable to plow.

MASONIC MINES
SHIPPING ORE

Mel Anderson, who has been haul
ing material into Masonic for several
mining companies as we'll as hauling
ore from the mines to the reduction
works at Hazen. reports that the re-
cent strike at Masonic has caused
considerable excitement In that Sec
tion. The find was made by Kibble
and Cook. who have been operating a
lease. The ore carries high values
and steady shipments have been made
during the past several weeks. Ore
has been sacked In the mine without
sorting and while no public annuonce-
ment has been made as to the rich
ness OF the ore. 1t Is reported that 1t
averages better than $3.50 per ton.
Since Kibble and Cook uncovered
then ew body of ore. ii. c. Decker.
operating a property some distance
from the lease cut the same ore body.
After this second find had been made.
Kibble and Cook traced the ledge
for mile and a half and located sew
eral claims of their own and develop
ment work is now under way.
Mr.. Anderson states that 1t is the
opinion Of those who have been on the
ground and examined the new find,
that Masonic will be the scene of
renewed mining activity next spring.
When Masonic was discovered some
twelve or more years ago. the miners
were looking for ore that resembled
that found in the Bodie section. Such
ore bodies were found but carried
extremely small values. The Pitts
burg-Liberty has produced many
thousand dollars but the majority of
properties worked never became pro-
ducers. However. with the new find.
