LOW PRICE OF
GOLD CAUSES
MINE TO QUIT

Mr.. John A. Mcdonald, of Detroit
Mich, and stockholder in the Long
fellow Gold Mining company spent a
week at Carman Heights.
This Is Mr.. McDonald's third visit
to the mines and he expresses entire
satisfaction with the work accom-
plished since his last visit, but regrets
that under present existing con-
ditions. with gold pegged at $20.67 an
ounce, and everything entering into
its production soaring high, it will
be necessary to discontinue active
work and do only the necessary as
sessment work until such a time as
gold mining will be placed where 1t
belongs, for to rob the mines OF their
ore at this time would be suicide.
An ounce of gold $2067 will pur-
chase in labor and materials today
only what $500 would before, or In
other words an ounce of gold is worth
but $500 today in purchasing power.
Mr. Mcdonald expresses the hope
that the McFadden Bill now before
congress will be passed this winter.
This Is a bill to provide for the pro-
lection of the monetary gold reserve
D1 lDt vi Tile HOt llIaI
gold production of the United States
to satisfy the requirements of the
arts and trades, by imposing an ex-
else upon all gold uses for other
than monetary purposes, and the pay
ment of a premium of $1,000 an ounce
TO the producers of newly mined gold.
This would be the means of placing
gold mining somewhere meas an
equality with the mining of the base
metals which have fluctuated in value
according to fluctuation in everything
entering into production, where as the
gold miner gets the same old price
for his product which costs him near
ly three times what it did to produce
and therefore gold mines cannot be
operated at a profit today and are
closing down rapidly as no relief
seems to be in sight.
Should this McFadden Bill become
law. it would again encourage capi-
tai to invest in gold mining. whereas
under present conditions capital is
not interested.
Mr. Mcdonald was one of the De-
troit Shriners to visit Portland and
returns back home via Los Angeles
Grand Canyon and other interesting
points enroute.

ALFALFA GROWERS MARKET
ACTIVE IN CALIFORNIA

The market for alfalfa hay con-
tinued. active throughout the week,
with good all around demand which
promptly absorbed all offerings at the
same level of prices as before.
Our sales have again been busy.
Practically all the hay of the associa-
tion is this season sold before it is
shipped. Most of our growers are at
present well booked up and want to
catch up with their sales before con-
sidering further offers.
Our recent advices from neighbor-
ing states which usually ship consid-
erable quantities of alfalfa hay to
quantities so available will this year
be considerably less than usual in the
aggregate.
From Utah we are told that $27.50
loose in the field is now being paid
and that only very little is being
baled. Eastern buyers are now in the
field to buy seed. AS a result the
second cutting will nearly all go to
seed.
In Nevada the alfalfa production is
normal in some of the important sec
tions while deficient in others, on ac-
count of water shortage; the latter
sections are those where most of the
production is fed at home to cattle,
and this deficiency will have to be
made good from other parts.
Arizona has practically ceased to
be a factor in the alfalfa market of
California; cotton has largely taken
the place there of alfalfa. The same
can be said Of the Imperial valley.
The remaining alfalfa acreage there
is still of Importance locally. but only
very little is available for shipment
as hay to here, compared with ship
ments of few years ago.
During the week ending July 3,
there were received 1900 tons on the
Los Angeles tracks of all grades as
compared with 1900 tons for the week
ending June 26.

the ban against California bees as a

COYOTE ATTEMPTS TO
JUMP INTO AN AUTO

The Misses Alice Hylton and Nell
lie Goblin had an experience this week
that happens to few people, and one
which they have no desire to repeat.
AS they were returning from Hylton
to Elko, speeding along at 20-mile
an hour gait, they noticed a coyote
standing at one side of the road As
sight of coyote. is an everyday
affair when travelling the Elko county
roads, the girls thought nothing of it,
and expected 10 see the animal gallop
off into the brush. But just as they
reached a point opposite the coyote
1t suddenly leaped towards the car,
jumping several feet into the air, and
just missed landing in the car by a
few inches. As it was it struck the
back fender of the car and was thrown
back into the brush.-Elko Free Press.

OPTIMISTIC VIEW
OF WOOL OUT
LOOK Is GIVEN

Relief for Nevada wool growers
from the present financial condition
Is seen by Secretary Metcalf of the
Nevada Livestock Association. Low
prices OF wool. coupled with poor
season both for wool AMI lambs, has
brought many wool growers into A.
nancial difficulties. A large part of
the wool crop is yet unsold and a few
buyers are at present In the market.
This inability to secure ready money
by the sale of wool Is hardship for
many small growers.
In commenting on the situation he
said: Many Of the wool growers
of this state believe that the present
wool market condition Is a result of
financial developments which will
only be temporary. Wool has still
a high intrinsic value and in view Of
the worlds supply and demand there
Is no real ground for predicting low
values.

NEVADA SHEEP
LAW HELD AS
BEING CORRECT

Information has been received by
the Nevada Livestock Association, at
Reno, that the constitutionality of the
Nevada State sheep inspection laws
have been upheld by decision of the
supreme court. in the case of the state
OF Nevada VS.. Austin Brothrs. The
hearing before the supreme court was
held last winter, the case being argued
by Attorney William Woodburn for
the state and Richard w. Young. of
Salt Lake City, for the firm of Austin
Brothers, well known wool growers
of Utah, who winter large number of
sheep In Nevada each year.
II Is under this law that the state
board Of sheep commissioners control
the diseases of sheep In Nevada, the
law giving the board power to pro-
mulgate and enforce such regulations
as they deem necessary to prevent the
spread OF any disease. One of the
main difficulties experienced by the
board along this line has been the
enforcement of the provision requir-
ing the inspection OF all sheep coming
into the state and their dipping under
the supervision of the board, II neces-
sary.
