SAM DAVIS PROPHESIED
THE NEW C0MSTOCk

The late Sam Davis had pro-
phetic vision, when, about ten years
ago, In his history of Nevada. he pre-
dicted that one day millions of tons
of ore would be milled from the crop
pings and upper levels of the Com
stock lode. the first step toward which
are now being taken by the United
Comstock Mines Company of Gold Hill
in developing what is undoubtedly the
greatest gold and silver mining prof.
ect in the world today, says the Car
son Appeal. Mr.. Davis based his fore
cast on the fact that figures show that
less than 20 per cent OF the lode has
been prospected above the Sutro tun-
mel level, and only per cent below
that depth. He goes on to state that
operators would apply the same close
study to geological conditions as Is
given to the fundamentals of any big
enterprise, and again II Is coming to
pass that these exact methods are now
being employed and with astonishing
results. Almost the identical plan OF
operation, so accurately recorded ant
set forth by Sam Davis in his history
is proving the foundation stone upon
which new Comstock is being built.

TWO STORES
BURGlAR|zED
Daring R0bberies Committed
During the Week; Howard
Bros. Lose $40 Cash and
Minden Store $500

Two robberies took place In this
community during the week, at which
time the cash register at Howard Bros.
store In Gardnerville was tapped. the
robbers securing some $40 In change.
The burglar also left evidence that he
had ransacked the store and made
away with some silk handerchiefs and
other articles. About the same time
burglars gained entrance to the Farm
ers Cooperative Mercantile Store at
Minden and succeeded In opening the
cash box and secured some $500 for
his daring work.
The officers have been working on
the case and while it is quite certain
that both robberies were the work of
the same person. no clue has been Sc
cured that might lead to an arrest.
Howard Bros. are undetermined as
20 how the robber gained entrance to
their store, but he made his escape
through the back door by turning the
latch from within, and which could
not be unlocked from the outside
II may have been that the robber hid
In the store during the day. and then
made his escape through the back door
after he had accomplished his pur-
pose.

the services of a first-class man will
be secured to carry on this important
work. Later, bull clubs will be or
ganized among the membership OF the
association, and pure-bred animals
Of known worth will be purchased and
der to determine the animals that are
good producers OF butter-fat and those
that are not, and the elimination of
the latter class. According to pres
shipped TO Carson Valley. Through
this method 1t will require but a few
years when the dairymen OF Carson
Valley will own the best dairy herds
to be found in the West.
At the present time about 1900 cows
make up the herds of Carson Valley,
with yearly average of butter-fat of
about 200 pounds. II Is pointed out
that these cows should be producing
at least $50 pounds of butter-fat per
year. and many of them should yield
400 pounds. To accomplish this im-
provement Is the work before the
dairy association. and there is every
reason to believe that 1t will succeed.

STATE BANK CASE
IS AGAIN HALTED
Receiver To BE Required 10 File
Reports Immediately; Abence
Of Attorney -General Halts
Further Proceedings

Echoes from the legislative removal
proceedings against Judge Frank p.
Langan of the first judicial court were
heard Monday morning when Deputy
Attorney-General Richards filed and
appearance before the district court
and. although questioning whether the
court Is functioning in accordance
with the constitution of the state be-
cause Judge Langan is presiding,
claimed that for the reason that the
attorney general is informed and be-
lieves that the receiver of the State
Bank and Trust Company is guilty of
NAL feasance and nonfeasance by rea-
son of divers and sundry acts. the re-
ceiver is not entitled to any compensa-
tion whatever. He also stated that on
Information and belief the attorney
generals Office holds that the surety
because since the filing of the bond
one of the sureties is long since de-
ceased. and no recourse may be had
to his estate
The appearance of the deputy attor-
ney-general in this matter. he stated
In his appearance, is subject to any
judgment and decree hereafter by a
court OF competent jurisdiction as to
whether or not the first judicial dis
trct Is now constitutionally functiOn-
ing, and, as the same appears to be
functioning, whether any order, judg-
ment, or decree that may not be en-
tered is void. He asks that an un-
questioned bond and liabilities be fixed
for the receiver at once.
Inasmuch as the receiver has not
filed reports in the State Bank case
since March 81, 1915. he prays that the
receiver be required to file said rec
ords forthwith without any considera-
tion or hearing by the court what
ever.
1t appears, Richards says, that until
the records can be so arranged that
they can be intelligently inspected
they cannot be examined or digested.
None of the records of the court have
been registered or docketed since the
middle of 1913, he claims.

The majority of farmers who own
dairy herds In Carson Valley fully
realize the folly of feeding and milk
ing a COW that only produces 200
pounds Of butter-fat per year. when,
through good animal, the yearly out
put can be raised to $50 or 400 pounds
with the same amount of feed and la
Dor. Many of the farmers also real
ize that there Is vast difference In
beef-producing animals and those bred
for dairy purposes. Many of the farm
ers are trying to make the dairy COW
serve two purposes-that of produc-
ing beef and being a profitable milk
producer-which cannot be done. Mr..
Green declared that such achievement
was not in the cards, and from the
fact that the average production OF
butter fat from the 1900 cows now be-
ing MIXED in Carson Valley Is ap-
proximately 200 pounds per year.
when 1t should be $50 or 400 pounds.
proves the truthfnlness OF his state
ment.
With the Improvement OF the dairy
herds and through the feeding OF more
barley and grain. it will be but short
time before the dairy industry with
out-rival every other form of profit
able income to the farmers of Carson
Valley. Instead of $250.000 being the
yearly income. the farmers of this sec
tion will receive at least $500, 900 a
year from their dairy cows, which
means added prosperity for every
farmer engaged in the industry.
A movement Is also on foot to cre-
ate interest in the boys of this COM

GRAIN CROPS ARE
GROWING RAPIDLY
Unusually Good Weather Conditions
Have Assured Bumper Grain
to Farmers Of This Sec-
ton This Season

The unusual spring-like weather
that prevailed throughout February
allowed early planting of grain crops
in Carson Valley and where plowing
was accomplished last fall, grain
crops are already peeping through the
ground. and the first green is begin
ming to show in the fields. With every
prospect of an abundant supply of
water for maturing of crops during
the coming season. the farmers OF Car
son Valley face a most promising and
successful season.
On the Dangberg ranches. a large
acreage of fall wheat was planted and
it is growing wonderfully we'll, the
field already being deep green.
Alfalfa is starting to grow and
should good weather continue, the
haying season will be much In ad-
vance over that of last year.

REV. FELTEN HAS
ACCEPTED CALL
Minister for Local Lutheran Church
Secured After Three Attempts
Are Made; Rev. Felten
To BE New Pastor

The third time has charms. This
the local Lutheran church experienced
in calling a pastor to succeed Rev
Menzel. Twice the congregation called
ED. II. Brandt of Everett. Washington
and to Pastor Hy. w. Gross of Salem
Oregon. but both declined. The for.
mer because he had just accepted a
call to the Lutheran Concordia College
at Portlan. Oregon. and the latter be-
cause he held the opinion that his
present congregation was just as i'm
portant and entitled to the same hopes
for the future as the congregation
calling him.
On the 10th of this month the Exc
cutive Board of the local Lutheran
church empowered by the voting men,
bership extended a call to Rev. Paul
II. Felten. at this time stationed at
Hanover, Wisconsin. Pastor Felten
was Immediately convinced Of the de-
cided importance of the call rendered
him and with the permission Of his
congregation has accepted. Owing to
the fact that he will have to confirm
a class OF catechumens before he re-
linquishes his charge. he will not be
able to arrive upon his new field OF
labor before the expiration of about
six weeks. The local Lutheran church
feels very happy because of Pastor
Felten's acceptance.

IMPROVEMENTS ON
DANCBERG RANCH
New Irrigation System Proposes to
Eliminate Much OF the Worry
and Time Consumed Re.
qnired by Old Method

The II. F. Dangberg Land and Live
stock Company has inaugurated new
system of irrigation that will-rev olu-
tionize the present method now In use
on most farms of the East Fork dis
trict, and will be adopted by many
farmers. according to the Judgment OF
those who have given the system care
full study.
Heretofore the water has been
taken from the head bitches by means
of small spouts set in the ditch bank
at water level. These spouts caused
continual attention through choking
and gophers delight in digging along
side of the spouts, resulting in wash
| outs and no end of trouble to the
irrigator. Lou Felletti. foreman on
the Buckeye ranch worked out a sys-
tenn, and after experimenting for a
season, proved through the use OF
gravel gateways over the ditch bank
to connect with the burrows, 1t was
possible to eliminate the spouts for
merly used and that one man could
irrigate twice the land as formerly.
The new system is now being used ex-
tensively on the Buckeye ranch of the
Dangberg Company.
A new system of cleaning bitches
has been put into operation on the
Buckeye ranch that has cut the cost
of farm operation to considerable ex-
tent. Heretofore the ditch bottoms
have been plowed and the dirt re-
moved with wheel scrapers. Since all
the bitches on this ranch have con-
siderable fall. it has been found
possible to plow In the sides of the
bitches and through big head of wa
ter flush the sediment to lower levels.
At present the sand and sediment that
accumulates in the ditches each sea-
son is being flushed out and carried
to the slough bottom just north of
Minden and in time the lowland will
be built up with rich soil

Carson Valley Has
Great Possibilities

munity, who, within a comparatively
few years. will be actively engaged In
farming. taking up the work of their
fathers. To arouse this interest, 1t is
proposed to organize calf clubs among
the boys. One. II not both the local
banks will loan the boys capital neces-
sary to purchase a pure-bred animal.
After a certain period the stock will be
auctioned OFF to the highest bidder at
a public sale. At Petaluma, Calf,
this method was adopted, and a girl
sold her pure-bred for $3.50, realizing
a profit of over $500. while every ami
NAL sold brought good profit to the
boys and girls who took up the work.
They were assisted in their selections
by the dairy leader OF the University
.of California, and should the calf
clubs be organized In Carson Valley.
Professor Il. v. Scott of the Univer-
sity OF Nevada, will act in like ca
pacity.
