CLUB PREPARING
 GOOD ARGUMENTS
 FOR BRIDGE WORK

The committee appointed by the Nenana Commercial club to prepare a statement of approximate weights of bridge material and cost of de- livery at Nenana by the water route. for use by the club in connection with its campaign for the immedi- ate construction of railroad bridges at Nenana crossing and at Nenana, submitted an outline report at the regular weekly netting of the club last night, and Secretary Diven will embody the report in letter which is to be forwarded to J. L. McPher- son, Secretary Lane, and others whom the club will ask to help in hastening bridge construction. Chair man Mears also will get a copy Dt' the letter. ...... :.-
 R. s. Mcdonald, who reported for the committee, submitted figures showing the approximate weight of the proposed Nenana river bridge to be l,671 tons, and that of the Panama river bridge to be 5,252 tons, a total shipping weight of approximately 6.923 tons, the ship ment of which by way of the Yukon and Panama rivers would cost not more than $13S.460 more than has been estimated by the commission for shipment to Seward or Anchor age and thence to Nenana by way of the Government railroad.
 Accompanying the figures was the following explanatory statement. prepared by Mr, Mcdonald:
 To offset against additional cost of $138,460 incurred by shipping by the water route is the fact that this charge is fixed one, whereas the base cost charge used by the A. F.. c. in computation must neces- sariy be more or less uncertain. owing to possibility of accident. de lays otherwise caused Or larger cost of operating railroad than is contemplated at this time; the obvi- ation of very large overhead eX- pense that must be incurred if the Alaskan Engineering commission is longer than would be necessary if the bridges were completed simul- taneously with the tracklaying; tn" revenue that would be derived from the railroad as a completed project and the fact that the benefits to the Interior contemplated when the project was authorized would be available two years earlier than if the bridge construction awaits the completion of the tracklaying. 1t does not appear to be good business to delay the completion of s50,- OO0,OOO undertaking for the saving of less than $7O,O00 a year.

HAS IMPROVEMENT
FOR POTATO CROPS

William Scheels, one of the pro-
gressive farmers of Carson Valley,
tried out an experiment in potato
raising last year that proved so sue
cessful that he is DESTROYS of passing
along his method to other farmers,
who have probably experienced the
same difficulties that he had, says the
Gardnerville Record-C Courier. He was
troubled, more or less, with scale and
the like, and in planting his potatoes
last year, put a small handful Of
gypsum In each hill. One row was
lhus treated and the next was planted
without the gypsum. When the crop
was harvested in the fall, the potatoes
were much bigger and better potatoes
than those grown in the same ground
without gypsum.
He secured the gypsum at the
Mound House for 81 per load, and is
using it again this season. At the
gypsum plant he learned that farmers
of California and Oregon are heavy
buyers of gypsum for fertilizer, which
costs them laid down at their farms
about $12 per ton, the freight charges
being many times greater than the
cost of the gypsum.
Farmers, who have had poor luck
in raising potatoes, will do well to
follow out the plan adopted by Mr..
Scheele and will undoubtedly exper-
fence the same success that has been
achieved by him.

NEW SILVER FIND NEAR FALLON
CAUSES RUSH OF PROSPECTORS

Reno, May IA rush of prospec-
tors to a new, unnamed mining dis
trict. on the southern borderline of
Churchill county, sixty-five miles
southeast of Fallon and forty-five
miles northeast of Luning, Nevada, is
in progress. The center of excitement
is the Broken Hills silver mine, To-
Gated by Stratford and Arthur, two
~prospectors. A shipment of thirty
five tons of ore showing 223 ounces
of silver per ton has just been made
from the property to the Western
Ore Purchasing Company. To date
400 tons shipped to the Western Ore
Purchasing Company from the prop
erty has netted more than $4,000, it
is said, or an average for all of the
ore thus far shipped, of better than
1925 per ton.
Within the last fortnight Stratford
and Arthur report that locations have
been made for three square miles sur
rounding the Broken Hills property.
Mining men have poured in from all
directions, including Austin, Fallon,
Ely and Reno.

Fine Showing On Missing Link
John Jost, associated with Frank
Short, the ~Guggenheim expert, who is
consulting engineer for the Berry
brothers, has just completed a
thorough sampling Of the Missing
Link, General Grant and Jackson
workings. His examination and sam
pling was for the purpose of enabling
the controlling to determine
future plans for working the three
mines in the group. and possibly for
building a mill to treat the hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of ex-
cellent ore already exposed in the diff
ferent workings. Mr.. Jost's report
has not been given out yet and the
following facts and figures, while not
based upon or connected with it, have
beer confirmed by Jerry Coughlan,
the superintendent, and at least "a
far as late development done under
his direction, are official.
The original find on the Missing
Link was made by lessees at the
Stewart shaft and considerable high
grade was shipped from the vein,
which was fourteen inches wide at
that point. Later on, J. w. Cody and
Il. Hager opened up the vein south
of where the main shaft now is. Here
It averaged twelve inches wide, and
the first two carloads of ore shipped
averaged $3.50 per ton, the shaft be-
ing down but forty feet.
George Shoup, now deceased, and
associates, secured control of the
property and interested the Berry
brothers. The showing was so good
they bought out the lessees and be-
gan the present main shaft, which
they sunk to the 100-foot level and
drifted 125 feet to the north and the
same distance to the south. The ore
body on this level was fourteen inches
in width and ore shipped averaged
ninety-five dollars per ton, with sill
yer at sixty cents per ounce.
When Jerry Coughlan took charge
Io.x e.IJ -aa@-f;n,roI thu chof ~ IN the
200 foot level and drifted north leo
feet and south 100 feet. Here the
vein had widened to an average of
twenty inches and the ore goes from
twenty dollars to 5000 per ton. Por-
tions of the shoot on this level look
mighty fine" as one mining man put
it, and as will be noted from the fig
ures, the poorest is of good milling
grade.
The shaft was afterwards sunk to
the 300-foot level, the north drift be-
ing put out 230 feet and the south
drift 100 feet. The ore body continues
to widen and get richer, the width
averaging twenty-four inches, and
the ore very high-grade in places and
at all times good grade. In n spot
it assays $3.50 per ton across ten
inches, and at other places it goes
from 5000 to $500 per ton across two
feet. That the high grade is not linn
tied to a small fraction of the vein is
proved by the fact that the entire ore
body on the 800 level as exposed for
a length of $50 feet, with average
width Of twenty-four inches, will
average better than 500 per ton.
Since the values are good in the
faces of both drifts. and since the
