Ask for Lower Rate
on Alfalfa Shipments

The traffic bureau of the Chamber
OF Commerce is working to secure
lower rates on hay from Fal,on to
kansa City and other points on the
Missouri river. When IL was learned
that a SPECIAL rate had leen proposed
from points in Idelia to Kansas City
and adjoining points. Il. II. Walker Of
the Reno bureau Immediately took up
with the Churchill County Commercial
club Of Fallon the proposition of ask
ing for en- emergency rate of $40 a ton
similar 10 that proposed to be estab-
lished from Idaho points. says the Reno
Journal.
Such a rate would help fanchers in
the Falion district to dispose of con
siderable hay to advantage. 1t is re-
ported that there are now 10000 tons
awaiting shipment from the Fallon dis
triot alone. The nresent rate on hay
fr,m Fallon to Kansas City il $I6.7e
per ten. y $40 rate would make ii
possible for hay TO be shipped east at

ward relieving n serious situation in

H|GH.GRADE ORE FROM
LAKE VALLEY PROPERTY

development work at the Lake VAL
ley mine. which Is located on Paterson
mountain about four miles west of
the Geyser ranch. just across tie White
Pine line in Lincolr county, IL pro-
crossing in a manner satisfactory to
the management n those interested.
Theodore Taraldson, one of the prin-
cipal owners of the property. returned
to Ely during the last week after hav-
ing spent about ten days at the mine.
He brought Will. him samples taken
fiom the south end of the tunnel being
driven on the property and these
samples when run by the assayer
showed 25l ounces in silver.
Mr.. Teraldson said that a cyanid
plant would be erected at thu mine a
the earliest possible date. Under
present conditions the cost of getting
the ore to the snielter is about Ss5
per ton and this naturally cuts into
the profits too deeply. According 10
Mr.. Taraldson, there is now Sufficient
ore in s.glt at the mine 10 run the
plant approximately Il year. As soon
as the plant can be erected the ore
can be handled at a profit and there
is every Indication of the uncovering
of larger orebodies as the develop
nient work progresses.
Those familiar with the property ex-
press the opinion that 1t will soon
take its place among the rich pro-
ducers. There is plenty oc water
right at the n.ine and timber sufficient
for mining purposes as well as fuel.
There are productive ranches in the
immediate vicinity and the section is
attractive for residential purposes.
Following the opening of n mine the
building of residences naturally fol
low and it ia seldom tina a location
IS found SO VII suited to both.
Work al tile nine viii be vigorously
prosecuted and with the erection of .
cyanide plant the operations well be
RAPIDLY extended.
