Engineering authorities are agreed tkst a

power at night than in the daytime. The
latest explanation Of this technical mystery
II that IN thn daytime heat expands the air
that It ig lighter in weight than at night.
So at night an engine gets more air and con
sepuently produces more powerful impulses.
Also, the water keeps cooler and performs

SHEEP OWNERS MUST SETTLE
FOR DAMAGED HIGHWAYS

Bands of sheep have been driven
over sections of the highway between
Empire and Mound House repeated
ly the last few days, according to
report and have been the cause of
great deal of damage to the road and
expenditure for making repairs. The
county commissioners have grown
tired of the conditions and have di-
rected the district attorney take
the matter up with the sheep owners
in way that will insure less trouble
in the future. They propose to see
that the law is observed to the letter
hereafter and to that end will invoke
the aid OF the statutes in every way
possible. County roads have been
damaged more or less every spring
and at. considerable expense to the
taxpayers. as it has often been diff
cult to iix the responsibility and
force sheep owners to make repairs
as provided by law.-Carson News

ROCkLAND NINE IS N
THE BANKRUPT
COURT

After many years OF successful OPP
Grafton. the Rockland mine, located ~
miles south OF Yeringtor. in Mineral
unity has been closed, and its affairs
are now in the hands of the bankrupt
court. The trustee in bankruptcy has
been commanded to se1l the property
for its indebtedness which at this
time IS only $s5.000.. Refusal of the
eastern stockholders to accept YOU
untary assessment to pay for new
surface equipment amounting to ap
approximately $l25,0C0 is given as
reason for throwing the company
into bankruptcy.
The mine has had an interesting
history. 1t has produced over $500
600 in gold and silver, of which the
Rockland mine extracted $350,0OO
Flushed by early successes, the com
pany decided to broaden its field of
operation. Electric power from the
Truckee river was installed and used
as motive power A compressor
plant, underground hoist. complete
set of surface buildings, and 60-ton
cyanide mill were erected About
the time things seemed most prom
ising trouble began to brew and dis
agreements arose among the eastern
stockholders who controlld the com
pany. 1t resulted in one half of the
money for the new equipment not
being forthcoming, with the result
that creditors finally became impa-
tient and brought numerous suits. A
compromise not being effected. the
interests became disgust
ed and filed petition i'll bankruptcy.
In the meantime money at the oper-
ating end began to run low. The To-
cal superintendent was unable to keep
his development work ahead of the
required by the mill with
out funds to meet the payrolls, not
the fact that his faith
in the property was sufficient to in
duce him to apply his own funds and
salary to this end

SNOW CONDITIONS
NEARLY NORMAL

Partly contradictory of-the reports
OF unprecedented water shortage
coming from cerain sections of the
state to the state engineers Office is
the following from the columns OF
the Gazette:
A conditio n, pronounced by agri-
culturists as safe for the crop and
live stock interest OF the state this
year is reflected III report now be-
ing prepared by H. F. Alps, meter
ologist in charge Of the United States
weather bureau, following final sur
vey for the season at the summit
just completed by weather bureau
officials.
Official measurements show that
the snow cover contains an average
OF rs per cent Of normal and with
normal precipitation from now until
the dry season begins, which is rea-
sonably expected. All improved con-
dition over last year and the pre-
yious year will result. The water OF!
snow cover at this time last year
was about IS per cent, but it develops,
ed into ! dry year because of a, lack
of rain in the spring and summer
The average water content in all
the big Nevada basins is practically
the same except in the Humboldt
river basin, where, as expected, it is
lower, a summary of reports dis
closes. Conditions of this year ap
proximate those of two years ago.,
April 9 1918, the water content at
Summit was 81 inches. Yesterday,
when this years final measurements
were taken, there was found to be
50 inches OF water in a snow dept,
of 50 inches, density of 48 per cent
Apil 8, last year the water content
was III inches. but this was not aug
mented by later rains and the reser
voir supply diminished sooner than
it would under normal conditions.
In the higher reaches OF the
Truckee and in the Carson and the
Walker river basins. measurements
indicate conditions akin to those at
Summit. In the Walker river basin,
the amount of water in the high
elevations averaged nineteen and
three tenths inches. as against TWEEN
ty and eight tenths year ago. The
highest water content was found OH
the Center mountain course, where it
measured twenty eight and four
tenths inches.
At Blue Lakes on the upper rim o.
the Carson Basin, water measured
thirty and seventenths inches. In
the upper basin of the south fork OF
the Humboldt river water averaging
eight and one half inches was found,
with ten inches at the head of the
north fork. Little Humboldt, forest
ranger. operating at the request of
the wether bufeau, found seven and
three tenths inches of water.
