KILLED THE HEN TURKEY

A Battle Mountain business man
who is customer for Newlands
project turkeys through the l. II.
Kent Company as regularly as the
holiday season approaches, bought
$500 worth of birds again this
year at the prevailing ratio of so
cents per pound and now he is on
search for what he deems likely
placer gold ground. One of. the
turkeys forwarded by Mr.. Kent had
a $500 gold nugget in his gizzard
and as soon as his former stamping
ground is located stampede may be
on for the new colorado. The let
ter advising Mr.. Kent OF tho occur
renee follows:
Dear Sir:
II am inclocing check for $500
as per your letter of December 18th
stating that you would furnish tur-
keys at soc per pound.
Can, you locate where you got
the turkeys frcm that you sent me?
1t would be well to try and find out

California Hay
ManAdvisesUs
California Alfalfa Growers Urge Ne
vada Farmers to Get Together
On Prices

Newlands project hay raisers are
asked to stand together in market
ing their 1920 alfalfa production by
A. F. Thornton, sales manager of
the Alfalfa Growers of California,
in telegram addressed Monday to
DR.. Ed F. Dunbar of the project as
sociation, a recently organized
body. His telegram is as follows:
"Independent dealers in San
Francisco are offering. Fallon hay on
basis of $500 I. o. b. the cars at
your town At current coast prices
you should get $500 Indiscrimi-
nate selling is causing a disruption
of the California markets. l will
be with you in few days"
General market conditions and
the apparent eagerness of local hay
men to sell their alfalfa at any
price which means at this juncture
at any cost have stimulated local
men to an attempt to get all the hay
raisers of this valley together under
one marketing head. Hay has been
ocAilu6 dt 81 many dllCt Cnl u6 VI CO
during late days that no one, not
even the best informed, could ans
wer the question at this time, what
is Newlands project hay command
ilg?"
1t turns out that those of our
farmers who gambled in hay this
year. hoping to profit as in former
years when prices went forward as
the season advanced, have made a
sorry decision indeed, yet 1t is as
serted that even at this late date
the coast hay markets may advance
very substantially. California
stock men gambeld along with the
hay men and heavy rains inter-
yened to sustain them but 1t is en-
phasized that the winter is not yet
past and cold period will multiply
the demand for the surplus hay of
this valley, of which there is an
amplitude. Stacks dot the horizon
in every direction from Fallon and
carry an admonition that withdrawn
from circulation in this valley is the
equivalent of many hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

From Reno Journal. Dec. 81, 1920
BY A. J. Moore
Victor Keith came In last week
from another trip to the Old Mann
mouth district, once made famous
by the Illinois mine. He brought
with him samples of ore that show
remarkable paintings. Take any
piece of this ore and a panning will
show a string from one-half to one
inch long. The more exploration
that goes on the more strongly
George Edison Porter and his associ-
ates are convinced that they have
the gold strike of the year. This
new strike which has been men
toned in the columns is about two
and one-half miles in airline from
the old Illinois mine, which is cred
tied with having produced between
three and four million in the early
days and is about five and one-half
miles east from Broken Hills camp.
The ground from which the
samples came is of itself an aban-
doned mine. though never explored
below the s0-foot level 1t was re-
located as the Silver Leaf claim AMI
part of the Brohilco Mines corpora
tion. The bottom of the S0-foot
shaft shows four feet that assays
$246, clear across. II is now pro-
posed to sink 65 to 20 feet deeper

exposed. According to all rules the
vein should be wider and richer at
that depth. An ample supply of
grub and mining material has been
taken out as q reserve to fall back
on in case of heavy snowfall at any
time during the winter. The oldest
miners familiar with that district
are very much enthused over the
new find and are out stalking claims
in all directions from the Silver
Leaf.

Hon. Charles b.. Henderson,
United States Senate.
BY Dear Senator Henderson: Ia
answer to your letter of the 10th
instant with which you transmitted
correspondence from the Churchill
County Commercial Club. together
with q petition requesting continu-
ance OF six times a week service on
star route No. 1918, Hazen to Fall
Ion, Nevada, ! beg to call attention
TO the fact that this route was es-
tablished with a frequency of six
times a week under a schedule re-
quiring the contractor to transport
first and second class mail only
from Hazen to Fallon, the purpose
being to have mail delivered at Fall
len in the early morning in time fo.'
dispatch on rural and other routes
before the first train of the day ar
rived at Fallon, the return trip be-
ing made by way of Northam where
the contractor delivered mail to d
considerable number of families re-
siding along the road travelled In ad-
dition to the post office at Northam
Recently an additional train has
been making the trip from Hazen
to Fallon in the early morning,
which left the star route of no ma
terial value except for the service
performed on the trip from Fallon
by Northam to Hazen, and it was
not apparent wherein the benefits
derived justified the continuance of
six times week service. Hence
the frequency was reduced to three
times a week and an advertisement
issued inviting proposals for that
frequency of service from Fallon by
Northam to Hazen for the purpose
of providing supply for the post of
flee at Northam. also box delivery
and collection service for those re-
siding along the roads travelled.
The only bid received in response
to the advertisement was from the
present contractor and at approxi-
mately the came rate as was former
ly paid for six times week service.
Hence II was decided to readvertise
the route with view to procuring
a bid at a more reasonable rate, but
In view of representations made the
route will be advertised as from
Hazen to Fallon over the road now
travelled. returning by Northam to
Hazen as now for the purpose OF
providing the box delivery and col
lection facilities to those residing
on the direct road between Hazen
and Fallon, and IL satisfactory bid
be received II is the intention to
award contract accordingly, but II
does not seem that the Department
would be justified in maintaining
six times a week service on this
route in view of the comparatively
small postal benefits derived there.
