COLO WEATHER KEEPS
GAROMERs GUESSING

The continual cold weather is
causing a lot of disappointment to
the amatuer gardner who is getting
anxious to spade UP the soil and put
In the vegetable garden and 1t Is
likely that the first few warm days
will tempt many to put vegetables
and flower seeds in the ground.
Those who have learned from long
experience in planting in this vicinity
will be too wise to think of planting
the garden until the latter part of
next month. One of the most con-
servative gardeners in the county
never puts seed in the ground until
the 25th of May when all danger
from killing frosts is past.
Planting on the 25th day of May
will give at least days for the
earliest seed to germinate and by
the time the seedlings are above
ground the nights are considerably
warmer which promotes a quick an
we'll as sturdy growth in the young
plants.
The best system for raising veg
etables in this mountainous country
is to SOW the seeds in a shallow box
of soil and keep the Seeding box in
the house in some sunny window. If
the seeds are planted about the first
week in May, the young plants may
be thinned out and then be ready
for transplanting about the latter
part of the month. The vegetables
that succeed best with this method
are the cabbage. cauliflower. celery,
lettuce and tomato. although the
growing season for the tomato is
rather short, unless the seeds are
planted earlier and allowed to grow
in the house until almost ready to
make the blossom, when they may
be readily transplanted. and allowed
to lie flat on tho soil instead of set
vertical.

OEMPSTER SEEKS CLAIM
TO MINING PROPERTY

William Dempster of Glasgow,
Scotland, one of the owners of the
Nevada Star Mining company al
Cherry Creek has been spending the
week In Ely and searching the re-
cords in the county recorders office
preparatory TO obtaining an abstract
of title to the mining property.
The Nevada Star mine consists of
nine claims and was one of the early
disbursers of dividends during the
halycon days of Cherry Creek. AS
early as 1872 this mine was one of
the big silver producers. flourishing
in the boom that produced the old
silver camps of Tayler and Ward.
Owing to the excitement in the ad-
joining silver camps the production
of this mine was lowered, but a
noticeable revival occurred which af-
fected the entire Cherry Greek dis
trict when the Star mine was pur-
chased by the Glasgow and Western
Exploration Company in 1897.
Since that time the property has
been worked on o small scale but
never attained a producing stage un-
til the revival in the price of silver.
when the mine again came into
prominence.
The abstract OF title neceesitated
the searching OF many records as
the property had changed hands a
number Of times and made quito a
volume which was completed by the
recorders office force working until
nearly midnight on Wednesday.
Mr.. Dempster left Thursday morn
ing for the east.

that the survey Of the McGill, Ely
and Keystone road will begin at once
and If weather conditions permit,
the complex survey will be finished
within one month and the notes In
the hands of the Highway Commits
sion at Carson City.
The new highway will be of rock
base rolled and sprlnkled with hot
tar over which will be q coating of
fine sand mixed with asphaltum and
then topped with about two inches
OF asphaltum busted with cement
which will make a road of the same
type as the streets in the larger cities.
This will be the finest buieYard in
the entire state and will connect
McGill. East Ely and Ely and extend
to the junction of the new high way
lately finished from keystone to
Illipah.
1t will be necessary to establish
several asphalt sanding plants along
the route to prepare the hot mixture
for the paving OF the road. The con.
tracts amounting 10 nearly $500, 900
will mean scenes of activity along
the course Of construction.

SCRUeHAM ADDRESSES
AMERICAN LEGION

Colonel ]. G. Scrugham made a
rousing address before the boys of
the American Legion at the Bio hall
Friday night. The Colonel is the
most loyal supporter of the Legion
In the state and he never looses an
opportunity to assist the organiza-
ton. Coming TO Ely to attend to the
hearing in the matter of applications
for jitney licenses. he remained over
long enough to address and encour-
age the local organization to stick
together
Realizing the insinuations relative
to the title of strike-breakers which
has been occasionally applied to the
members of the American Legion,
the Colonel took the opportunity to
point out to his audience that the
organization was not strike-break-
ing machine and that membership In
1t did not carry obligations in either
military or police duty. He pointed
out that a great majority of tie
laboring men were loyal members of
the Legion and that such an accusa-
ton hardly needed denial.
Other speakers during the evening
were Frank Sanford, organizer for
the American Federation Of Labor
In White Pine County and the vete-
ran army man. Colonel ]. IS. Bennett.
